The fact that Han Ming was impeached was originally just a minor episode. For the bureaucracy of the Song Dynasty, the Censorate was simply looking for trouble by making such a trivial matter a big deal out of nothing.

But for the common people, the various interesting stories and gossips about the top leaders of the Song Dynasty are an indispensable diversion in their daily life.

It is impossible to expect the people to not know.

Because as the old saying goes: "There is no wall that is impenetrable."

However, Han Ming deliberately chiseled several holes in this already leaky wall, just for another sentence.

"Let the storm come harder!"

When everything was ready, Han Ming finally showed his ferocious fangs to the Yu family.

He wanted to send all those who bullied and mistreat Yanran to see the King of Hell. As for forgiving them, that was the business of the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor!

Listening to the chirping of magpies outside the window, Han Ming went out with a happy look on his face, holding the gift list.

He can do less work today. After all, he has been reported by the Censorate and now needs to prove his innocence. He doesn't have the time to work in the Hanlin Academy.

This made Sheng Changbai, who rushed to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning to work, look depressed.

"Good fellow, you fish for three days and slack off for two days. I'm talking about you, Han Jingyuan."

"Since the palace examination, how many days have you been fully present? Either you were taking notes at the East Palace, or you were in the palace, having private conversations with His Majesty."

"That Hanlin Academy Compiler title is just a formal title, right?!"

Even a gentleman like Sheng Changbai could hardly stand Han Ming's behavior. The main reason was that this guy was too irritating. Being an official was like being on vacation. He was idle every day.

The gap is so big that even a gentleman would want to curse.

In the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Minglan, who was distributing interest to Linqi Pavilion, received a message from Xiaotao saying that the eldest daughter of the Yu family had arrived.

Looking at her expression, she seemed very nervous, anxious, and a little scared. Xiao Tao did not dare to delay and hurried back to report.

Sheng Minglan handed the matter over to Cuiwei, the personal maid sent by her grandmother's courtyard, and then took Xiaotao and Danju to meet Yu Yanran.

When the two met, Yu Yanran hugged Sheng Minglan tightly, with a hint of fear in the corners of her eyes.

"Minglan, I, I heard from my grandparents that Brother Jingyuan has been reported to the Censorate. What should we do now?"

This little girl doesn't know yet that the one who is going to be unlucky is not her ideal husband, but her father and stepmother.

"It's okay, it's okay. I heard my father mention it yesterday. This kind of thing is nothing at all. Besides, there are Han Da Xianggong and Han Shang in the court. They will definitely not sit idly by."

Minglan hurriedly patted the girl's back and kept persuading her.

You should know that after the court session yesterday, Sheng Hong ran to the old lady's room with an expression as if he had seen a ghost and told her everything that happened in the court session.

Old Madam Sheng immediately saw the trick.

There are only two possibilities. One is that the Yu family is unhappy about being cheated some time ago and is instigating the Censorate to report the incident.

If it's second, you might be being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives and deliberately looking for trouble.

The old lady's second guess was quite accurate. The Censorate was just looking for trouble and trying to get Han Ming to do something to achieve results.

However, no one could have guessed that all the twists and turns here were pushed by Han Ming, who wanted to make trouble for the Yu family and vent his anger for his future wife.

But from beginning to end, Han Ming never told anyone else about his entire plan.

Whether it was his mother, Madam Han, his aunt Wang Han, the old Grand Tutor of the Yu family, or his grandfather Han Zhang, they all knew part of the story.

Everyone only knew their part of the task, which made their speculations only partially understood, and they couldn't figure out what Han Ming was up to.

"But Minglan, I'm really worried. Brother Jingyuan..." Yanran was a delicate person to begin with, and now she was even more undecided.

Even after being persuaded by his grandfather, Old Master Yu, and advised by Minglan, he still couldn't let go of the worry in his heart.

"Yanran, there's really no need to worry. This kind of marriage proposal and betrothal gift isn't a big deal. My father told me that it's just the Censorate having nothing better to do."

Minglan thought about the Chief Censor who was constantly making trouble for Han Ming over such a trivial matter, and she couldn't help but feel speechless.

"My grandfather told me the same thing, but I just can't let it go." Yanran twisted her handkerchief.

"Yanran, I think you should think carefully about whether you are ready now?" Minglan smiled and pulled Yanran to sit on the chair.

"What are you preparing for?" Yanran looked dazed at the moment, making people feel pity for her.

"Prepare for your wedding!" Minglan suddenly poked her head out and said with a silly smile.

"Ah~! Minglan, you are so shameless!" Yanran's cheeks instantly turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Haha, Brother Han is really resourceful. He slapped your father and stepmother in the face with great fanfare."

"I even humiliated your third sister, and yet your family still can't do anything about it. You're really scheming."

After hearing Minglan's words, Yanran didn't know whether she was praising Han Ming or criticizing him.

"Although I'm happy that Brother Jingyuan is standing up for me, will there really be any problems?"

"I'm so worried that my father and stepmother will secretly cause trouble for him. And my third sister is impulsive. Will she do something?"

Yanran kept muttering to herself, completely treating herself as the eldest lady of the Han family, and was constantly worried about her husband.

"Haha, Yanran, if Brother Han saw you like this, he would be very proud." Minglan felt relieved to see that her good sister was about to be happy.

"Let him be proud. He planned so much for me, let him be proud for the rest of his life..." The girl smiled innocently.

"Oh my! I'm almost dying of jealousy. What should I do? Yanran, I won't give in! I won't give in!"

Minglan teased the girl deliberately, causing her cheeks to blush. "Then you should find a good husband as soon as possible and marry yourself off!"

"Ah~!" Minglan's cheeks also blushed with embarrassment.

With the two of them interrupting her, Yanran's worries gradually disappeared.

After playing for half the morning, drinking some tea, and visiting Old Madam Sheng, Yanran said goodbye to Minglan and returned to the Yu family.

But you don’t know what will happen until you do this. Once you do this, you will be shocked. The Yu family is now in chaos.

It turned out that early this morning, Han Ming went to the Censorate to submit the list of betrothal gifts. The Minister of Justice was fair and just and immediately sent someone to the Yu family to check.

As a result, the Yu family had no time to collect some of the treasures because Yu Fang had already sold some of the utensils and jewelry.

Now that the Censorate said they wanted to check, they were completely unable to produce anything, so they wanted to replace the gift list.

But when I think about it, this is impossible. Han Ming's gift list is the majority, while the gift list issued by the Yu family is the minority.

If the two sides don't agree, the Censorate will have to dig deeper to find out which one is true and which one is false.

Anyone in the Censorate who is not a fool can see at a glance that most of the gift lists issued by the Han family are at a disadvantage for the Han family, but they still took them out.

And the gift list issued by your Yu family is just a small one. How can the girl's family save the betrothal gift for the boy's family? There is something fishy going on.

If the Han family gets excited and says that the Yu family embezzled money, it will probably cause more trouble. If the blame is put on the Han family, the Han family will not be so easy to suffer in silence.

For a moment, the Yu couple stood in the warehouse, not knowing what to do. It seemed like they had reached a dead end.

"It's all your fault, you bitch! What should we do now?" Lord Yu was furious and slapped Yu Fangshi in the face.

Yu Fang could only stand there in a daze, motionless.

"How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? This shouldn't be the case..." Yu Fang was completely dumbfounded.

"Haha, this time it's good. My Yu family coveted the in-laws' betrothal gifts and secretly stole and sold them. Once this incident comes out, the Yu family will no longer have any face."

"All the reputation my father has built up over the years is gone. No one from the Yu family can marry or marry off a girl. Hahaha..."

"It's over... It's all over... Erlang's career, marriage, and Hong'er's entire life are ruined..."

Lord Yu grinned helplessly, the tears in the corners of his eyes constantly washing away his sinful and greedy heart, but it seemed that they could not be washed away.
