The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

After leaving the palace, Madam Li went straight home, walked through the corridor, and just as she entered the backyard, she saw a graceful figure in the flower hall from afar.

She would recognize the other person even if he turned into ashes.

She is the wife of her husband's staff.

Lin was accompanied by a half-meter-tall doll.

Minister Li let the child sit on his lap. He picked up an orange from the table and handed it to the child, teasing him, "Dun Dun, eat the orange."

Mrs. Lin stood aside, smiling gently. She turned and saw Madam Li in the corridor, and immediately came forward with a smile. "Sister-in-law, you're back. I heard that my eldest brother accidentally broke his leg, so I brought Dun Dun here to see him. I'm not a good cook, so I made some bone soup for him. The doctor back home said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone."

Madam Li clutched the handkerchief under her sleeve, her eyes fixed on the child in Minister Li's arms. She had never thought they looked much alike before, but now she saw that the child's eyebrows and eyes were actually a bit similar to Minister Li.

Thinking that her husband who was sleeping next to her had lied to her for so long, Mrs. Li completely forgot her daughter's instructions and slapped Lin in anger.

The defenseless Lin was beaten to the ground, and a slap mark instantly swelled up on her face. "Sister-in-law, I didn't offend you, why did you hit me?"

As she spoke, Lin sat on the ground and sobbed.

Seeing this, Minister Li quickly put down the child in his arms, propped up the crutches beside him, and hopped over to the two of them. He leaned over and helped Lin up, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm crazy. All the good things you two did are now spread everywhere. And you dare to say that Dundun is not your child, a pair of bitches. I work hard at home to take care of the family and help you raise children, but you sleep with your comrade's wife outside. Where is your face and your sense of shame?" Mrs. Li pointed at her husband and cursed him like a lit firecracker.

When Lin heard this, she felt something was wrong. She just covered her face with her handkerchief and cried, not daring to say a word.

Minister Li's face flashed with a flash of shame at having his fig leaf torn off, but he quickly recovered and said, "There's nothing wrong between Lin and me. Don't listen to what people outside say."

"It's almost spread all over the palace now. If you have the guts, go to the palace and tell them they're talking nonsense. Even if you don't care about your own career, you should think about our daughter."

Mrs. Li has always had a hot temper, and she immediately started fighting with Minister Li.

Minister Li, who already had difficulty walking, was thrown to the ground by Madam Li and scratched on his face, leaving several bloody cuts.

Lin was so frightened that she hid aside and covered the child's eyes.

"It's useless even if you beat me to death. Since you have entered the palace, you should ask your daughter to find out where the rumor came from so that we can stop it in time." Minister Li was pressed down by Madam Li and kept struggling.

"There are the Queen, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the palace. It's not something our daughter can investigate just because she wants to. If you keep yourself clean, you wouldn't have caused these troubles." Madam Li was tired from beating Minister Li, so she got off and sat on the steps to rest.

Minister Li was beaten black and blue. He was finally helped to stand up by the servant. Then a figure rushed out from nowhere and punched him in the face.

Minister Li's leg was already injured and his center of gravity was unstable. He fell to the ground again and spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, along with a tooth.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth and said, "You're assaulting an official. Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"At first, I really thought that the Minister was kind enough to take me in as his aide, so I worked diligently for this, fearing that there would be any mistakes. I didn't expect that you were afraid that I would know that you were replaced in the imperial examination, and you even had such dirty thoughts about my wife." Lin Hui grabbed the collar of Minister Li and said these words almost with gritted teeth.

Because of anger, his brows were furrowed.

Lin Hui heard a similar story in a teahouse. He hadn't thought of himself at first, but the audience in the teahouse connected it to the Minister of Rites. Some even said that their relatives who worked as maids in the palace had told this story.

When he failed the exam, Minister Li kindly comforted him and advised him to stay by his side as his aide. He never expected that in the end, his life would be stolen by his best friend, whom he regarded as his closest relative.

"The imperial examination is very strict. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the chance to do such a thing." Minister Li desperately objected.

"Your Li family is extremely wealthy. You could bribe a little eunuch and swap our names. My test paper would become yours. I felt I did well, but I failed. Instead, you, who are usually uneducated, passed." As he spoke, Lin Hui raised his fist and hit him again.

But this time, Minister Li was on guard and dodged to the side. Lin Hui's fist hit the floor tile, leaving a bloody mark instantly.

After all, Lin Hui was a weak scholar, and after he missed the target, he was controlled by the servant who reacted in time.

Minister Li stood up with the help of a cane and spat in Lin Hui's face. "What a waste! I'm lucky to be able to use your achievements and keep you by my side. Otherwise, with your personality and your meager background, you wouldn't be able to make it in the court. You might be framed and thrown into prison somewhere."

"Come here, send Lin Hui away and don't let him appear in the capital again."

Soon a piece of cloth was stuffed into Lin Hui's mouth, and two servants dragged him out.

Lin, who was hiding on the side, came forward tremblingly, holding her son in her arms, "Brother Li, for the sake of me giving birth to a son for you, can you please let us go?"

"If you let them go, maybe what you did will be exposed soon. Even if you don't think about your daughter, you have to think about your own future." Mrs. Li knew what kind of person her husband was, and she deliberately hit his sore spot.

Just as Minister Li was hesitating, Wen Zhu, the commander of the Imperial City Division, appeared at the Minister's residence with a group of people and stopped Lin Hui who was about to be sent out.

Wen Zhu was dressed in black, with the sword bestowed by the emperor on his waist. He was smiling, but it made people feel a chill on their backs. "I didn't expect that Lord Li's mansion would be so lively. It seems that I came at the wrong time."

As everyone knows, Wen Zhu is a loyal lackey of Xie Ci'an. He is ruthless and has punished many officials since Xie Ci'an ascended the throne.

The news of cheating in the imperial examination spread from the palace again. Now that Wen Zhu appeared in the mansion, Minister Li and Madam Li couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Minister Li, supported by his wife, stepped forward and said, "Master Wen, what are you talking about? How could Master Wen come at a bad time? I just don't know why Master Wen suddenly came to visit."

Wen Zhu adjusted his cuffs and looked at Minister Li with a smile, "It's nothing serious. The emperor heard that Lord Li broke his leg and asked me to come and visit him on his behalf."
