"My God!"

No one expected that Wen Qingzhi would beat someone in front of the emperor. No one had ever dared to do that before!

This is a contempt for imperial power, and you will lose your head!

Wen Qingzhi knew exactly what direction and force would inflict the most pain. She used her palm to strike, applying a powerful force.

Yuan Shao felt pain and numbness on his left cheek, and even his ears were buzzing. When he realized that he had been beaten, he immediately became furious.

"Bitch!"

He raised his hand and swung it towards Wen Qingzhi fiercely. Wen Qingzhi had known that he would do this and was deliberately trying to provoke him.

Yuan Shao is easily angered. If you want to proceed with the subsequent events, you have to provoke him and create a situation where both sides suffer losses, so that you have a chance to turn the situation around.

The palm wind roared towards her, and even though Wen Qingzhi had been prepared and tried to follow the trajectory of his palm to judge and dodge, but things always change, and she was still too late.

"Snapped!"

Yuan Shao also put all his strength into this slap, knocking her to the ground. Her originally pale cheeks instantly turned red, and the five finger marks were clearly visible.

She didn't cry out in pain, but gritted her teeth and spat out a pool of blood foam from her mouth, looking at Yuan Shao coldly.

"Yuan Shao!"

Yuan Qing never expected such a change to happen, and he never expected Yuan Shao to be so irritable.

Wen Qingzhi was obviously trying to provoke him to take action, but he actually fell for it.

"Snapped!"

Yuan Qing immediately slapped him in the face, then knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Yunsu.

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I failed to discipline my son properly, and my son was reckless and hit Your Majesty hard. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy!"

The Yuan family's power grew day by day, and the emperor had long disliked the Yuan family. He was usually very cautious, for fear of giving the emperor something to talk about.

result?

Today, this rebellious son actually dared to take action in the court, disregarding the reputation of the royal family!

At this time, someone stood up to defend Yuan Shao.

"Your Majesty, what General Yuan did was indeed inappropriate, but it was the Wen family girl who provoked him first. If there is any guilt, both of them are guilty. Your Majesty, please forgive General Yuan for his contributions to the Beiming region!"

"I beg the Emperor to forgive General Yuan!"

Another group of people stood up to defend Yuan Shao.

Ha ha……

This is the person that generations of the Wen family have protected with their lives.

Now, he is pleading for someone who slandered and insulted the Wen family.

They all deserve to die!

The burning pain on her cheek was just like her heart burning with anger. Looking at those who colluded with each other in the court, she felt murderous.

Fang Qingbai was deeply angry when he saw this.

He stepped forward, bowed to Feng Yunsu, and said, "Your Majesty, I disagree with what you all say! It's true that the Wen family girl was the first to attack, but it was Yuan Shao who first slandered the Wen family."

"It's understandable to attack him, both emotionally and logically. Besides, the Wen family has been loyal to Bei Ming for generations, and their contributions are irreplaceable!"

As he spoke, he met Yuan Shao's angry gaze and said straightly, "Yuan Shao, we are both military commanders, and we are both ministers protecting the Beiming Kingdom. How can you curse the family of the Wen family in front of the orphan?"

"Is this the etiquette of the General's Mansion?"

After saying this, he stepped forward and helped Wen Qingzhi up. Looking at her swollen cheek, he said to Feng Junsu, "In this matter, the girl from the Wen family was the first to start the fight, which was indeed wrong. But speaking up for her family is understandable. However, this happened in the palace after all, and she offended the royal family, so she must be punished."

"Please, Your Majesty, be lenient with me."

Led by him, everyone in the Supervisory Council also pleaded for Wen Qingzhi.

In an instant, the hall was divided into three levels.

On one hand, there are those who are related to the Yuan family, on the other hand, there are the neutral and shut-up party, and on the other hand, there are the Supervisory Commission... dogs that keep biting the Yuan family's faults.

Feng Yunsu didn't expect that Wen Qingzhi would do such an irrational thing as taking action in the palace.

Looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem as bad as expected.

He snorted, "Forget it. The girl from the Wen family doesn't understand the rules of the court. Considering that the Wen family has been the North Sea for generations, I will not pursue her and offend the royal family."

Feng Yunsu's gaze gradually fell on Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao met his gaze, he felt a chill down his spine.

Yuan Shao immediately lowered his head, took a step forward and knelt, "Your humble servant... acknowledges his guilt."

At this moment, any excuses would be useless and would be considered weak quibbling in Feng Yunsu's eyes.

Humph, as long as I admit my mistake, what can he do to me?

How about taking over the Yuan family?

Wen Qingzhi's cheeks were swollen at this moment, and her originally big watery eyes were squeezed smaller.

She slowly knelt down and said to Feng Yunsu, "Your Majesty, I also know that I am wrong."

Feng Yunsu looked helpless, "Forget it, you are just a little girl, you don't know anything."

"Yes, your Majesty is wise."

She began to flatter Feng Yunsu, "Let's get back to the original topic. Since General Yuan said that the unauthorized occupation was all done by the housekeeper, then please give me a reasonable explanation."

"Of course. Even if that person is my uncle, I won't be partial."

Wen Qingzhi sneered in her heart, it was nothing more than looking for a scapegoat.

"In that case, I, your humble servant, have nothing to say."

She closed her eyes and shed tears secretly, and it was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing that the matter was about to come to an end, Yuan Qing began to feel proud.

She's just a young girl, what can she use to fight against me?

Wen Qingzhi noticed the relaxed and happy look on his face and said, "No matter what, the Wen family has indeed suffered huge losses over the years. I have written the specific amount at the end of the booklet. If General Yuan doesn't believe me, you can ask your own master to reconcile the accounts and see if I have played any tricks."

"If this is correct, please, General Yuan, convert all the things your first-wife's brother has embezzled over the years into silver as compensation."

As soon as these words were spoken, a smile spread across Yuan Qing's face.

Compensation again?

Ever since breaking off the engagement with Wen Qingzhi, he has paid out countless silver!

"This……"

"Girl Wen, this is where you're wrong."

Someone stood up and said, "General Yuan didn't embezzle these things, so why should he be made to pay for them?"

"You should find whoever did it."

Wen Qingzhi didn't even raise her head as she said, "If he weren't a servant in the General's Mansion, how could he have such great power? Even General Yuan admitted that he was keeping his subordinates silent, so why are you still unwilling to admit it?"

"Why, General Yuan won't pay, will you pay for him?"

Wen Qingzhi looked over and said seriously, "That's not just a few taels of silver, it's tens of thousands of taels."

The man paused, a look of panic flashing across his face, "You, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not lying. The accounts are here, written clearly in black and white. I wouldn't lie to you."

After saying this, she looked at Feng Yunsu and said, "Your Majesty, disasters have continued in recent years. I am willing to hand over all the silver I have recovered to the national treasury to contribute to the well-being of the people of Beiming!"

Her gentle voice could stir up a thousand waves, especially for those who truly serve the people. When they heard these words, their blood instantly boiled.

Originally, she wanted to share the money with Feng Yunsu, but now it seems impossible.

It has come to this point. Rather than not getting a penny back, I might as well take a gamble.

She would rather give the money to those who really needed it than let it rot in the Yuan family's stomach!
