"It seems that you don't know that you are the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family?" Yuan Buwei smiled slightly, "Originally, we two sisters could talk about these things in private, but you insisted on talking about them openly, and even chose to do so at the emperor's birthday banquet. But you are right, our marriage was originally granted by the emperor, and you are talking about it now. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage?"

"Sister, sister, what are you talking about? How could I be dissatisfied with the emperor?" A trace of panic flashed across Yuan Jinse's face.

"When the marriage decree came down, my parents wanted you to choose the Wanning Marquisate, considering how much they valued you. But you said that the young marquis had to lead troops in battle and had no time to spend with you in romance, so you chose the Jiang family. I can only choose what you left."

"Sister, how could you lie so easily? Back then..."

"Sister, what you said just now was not to gain everyone's sympathy and let everyone accuse me of being cold and heartless and not caring about my parents. I can also speak out what is hidden in my heart now and let everyone judge it."

Jiang Weiming looked at Yuan Jinse's face with a twisted expression: "So your words of falling in love with me at first sight on your wedding night were all false? You chose me because Young Marquis Lu didn't have time to accompany you, so you had to settle for the next best thing?"

"No, husband, please listen to my explanation. I...the heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings for you." Yuan Jinse shook her head and grabbed Jiang Weiming's sleeve, crying so pitifully.

"Humph, I don't need a daughter-in-law who only knows how to indulge in romance and spends money without restraint." Wan Ninghou sneered and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Sui'er may not care about those reputations, but Bu Wei cannot. Since she got married, she has suffered a lot of grievances for no reason. Please be fair!"

Yuan Jinse’s mistake was that she shouldn’t have jumped around today and should have been more obedient.

Now even if the ancestors of the Yuan family and the Jiang family were resurrected together, they could not save her.

"Pass on my decree. Yuan Jinse lost her manners in front of the palace and shall be caned with twenty strokes of the cane!" Taking into account that she was pregnant, the punishment given by the emperor was already sufficient. However, Yuan Jinse was a woman and a married woman. When she was caned, she had to "take off her clothes and be caned." Not only would she suffer physical pain, but she would also be humiliated. So this was not only a physical punishment, but more of a personal one. Even the Jiang family would be criticized in the future.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong..."

So, Yuan Jinse suddenly became anxious and kowtowed her head loudly.

"Your Majesty, Jinse is just ignorant. She didn't mean it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe Jinse has no bad intentions."

The father and son of the Jiang family also knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Jinse to plead for mercy: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"If you dare to beg for mercy again, I will beat you too and drag you away!" The emperor roared, and the Jiang father and son could only watch Yuan Jinse being dragged out.

"Father-in-law, husband, save me, save me." Yuan Jinse shouted, and seeing the two of them lowered their heads, she immediately looked at Yuan Buwei, "Sister, save me, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have..."

Before she could finish her words, she was dragged out.

Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in the crowd, saw her eldest daughter-in-law being dragged out. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Mother, mother."

The Jiang family has become completely famous today. At least in the next few years, they will be the subject of people's jokes after dinner.

"Awei..."

Lu Sui asked Li Yan to push the wheelchair to Yuan Buwei and pulled her up from the ground: "Don't be afraid. Although I can't stand up yet, you have me and the entire Wanning Marquisate to support you. If anyone bullies you, I will make him pay."

He said this to the Jiang family father and son.

"emperor!"

Yuan Buwei knew that the emperor did this only because he was dissatisfied with being played a fool by others instead of supporting him. Moreover, the conversation between the eunuch and Lu Sui just now seemed to be in a humble and fearful position, but the emperor was very dissatisfied in his heart.

Of course we have to give him some face back.

"You said."

"When the young marquis was seriously injured earlier, while I was treating him, I was thinking, if the soldiers were injured on the battlefield, if we could quickly stop the bleeding and achieve the effect of disinfection, wouldn't that greatly increase the survival rate of the soldiers?"

The emperor's originally unhappy look immediately turned serious after hearing Yuan Buwei's words: "Go on."

"So, while the young marquis was recovering from his injury, I have been adjusting various medicinal materials, modifying the formula and dosage, and finally made the desired hemostatic powder." Yuan Buwei took out a piece of paper and a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and held them above her head. "I am willing to contribute this recipe so that the soldiers who defend Dazhao can return safely every time they go out to fight. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long, long live the emperor." Lu Sui responded quickly.

The civil and military officials present were stunned for three seconds, then knelt down in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"

"Okay, my dears, please stand up."

The emperor was finally happy, and his eyes became much kinder when he looked at Yuan Buwei: "Yuan Buwei, you are so thoughtful. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Your Majesty, are you really going to give it to me?"

Yuan Buwei knew that it would be too pretentious for her to refuse at this time, but if she asked for a big reward, the emperor would definitely not be unhappy.

"I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are golden."

"That……"

Yuan Buwei's eyes fell on the table in front of the emperor, which was filled with dishes. "I have said a lot so far, and I am already starving. Can Your Majesty give me the braised pork elbow from your table as a reward?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Yuan Buwei, I don't usually give rewards to people easily. Are you sure you only want this pork elbow?"

"You personally rewarded me in front of all the civil and military officials. This is such a great honor. Besides, the world is so big, but filling your stomach is the most important thing." Yuan Buwei's smile looked a little naughty at this moment.

"One dish of braised pork elbow is not enough. Come, ask the imperial kitchen to make me another meal tonight as a reward for Madam Lu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Buwei immediately knelt down to thank him, and handed the porcelain bottle and paper to the imperial physician: "Please keep this prescription. If you have any questions, please send someone to come to Wanning Marquis Mansion to find me at any time."

After the imperial physician took the prescription and looked at it, he immediately bowed to Yuan Buwei with awe and said, "Mrs. Lu is thoughtful."

Even though the banquet was coming to an end.

But for the Wanning Marquis Mansion and the Jiang Mansion, the excitement has just begun.

The Wanning Marquis' Mansion became famous overnight, and many people came to talk to the Wanning Marquis and his wife.

As for the Jiang family, they withdrew early due to Mrs. Jiang's poor health.

"Awei, you didn't even tell me when you prepared the recipe."

After being in fear for the whole night, Lu Sui was just about to get intimate with Yuan Buwei.

Then I saw a strong man dressed as a monk walking towards me quickly.
