After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

The news that the Dali Temple held a trial in the street spread like wildfire, and everyone was vying to discuss the scene.

But all these discussions were talking about how stupid and confused the Prime Minister's wife Meng Lianshu was, and how ashamed and regretful she was in court. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that the protagonists of this matter in the first place were Jiang Zihan and Sun Shuo.

Jiang Wansang definitely wouldn't believe that there was no one manipulating public opinion behind this, and this person was most likely Su Huanyu.

The purpose of his doing this was naturally to save the face of himself and Jiang Zihan, the future prince's consort.

Just as everyone was discussing this matter, Prime Minister Jiang, who had been invisible, suddenly appeared at the city gate.

He "went out of town on official business last night and just came back, so he doesn't know what happened." When he heard the explanation from people around him, he was angry and heartbroken.

"Xiao Lian, you're so confused!" Jiang Gaoyuan shouted. "Husband and wife are one. If you did something wrong, even if I, as your husband, knew nothing about it, I'm still to blame. How could I bear to see you endure this all alone?"

After saying this, he hurried back to the Prime Minister's residence, leaving everyone gathered together to study what he had just said.

"It seems that the Prime Minister is indeed unaware of the situation."

"The Prime Minister is so kind! He knew that Mrs. Meng had made a mistake, but he still wanted to be one with her husband."

"It's said that one should marry a virtuous wife. It's a pity that Prime Minister Jiang, such a good man, actually married that vicious woman Meng."

……

A new wave of public opinion spread again, and the speed was even faster than Jiang Gaoyuan running back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, new news came from the Prime Minister's Mansion: Although Prime Minister Jiang was angry that Meng had done something foolish, he did not drive Meng out of the Mansion because of the friendship they had shared for so many years. Instead, he demoted her to a concubine and built a small Buddhist temple for her in the Mansion, allowing her to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures to atone for her mistakes.

Demoting one's wife to a concubine is a stain that can ruin the rest of a woman's life in this world, but it is much better than Meng Lianshu's previous decision to ask for divorce.

On the surface, Jiang Wansang won this round, but no one except Meng Lianshu received the punishment they deserved.

Even Meng Lianshu still holds the power of housekeeping in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her treatment is no worse than before, except that she no longer has the title of "Prime Minister's Wife".

These are not what Jiang Wansang wants to see.

Su Huanyu can control public opinion, so of course she can too!

Jiang Wansang turned around and asked Jiang Er to spread the news outside, saying that Meng Lianshu reaped what he sowed, causing Jiang Zihan and Sun Shuo to do everything they should and shouldn't have done. The so-called requesting to be divorced and demoted to a concubine was just a show to divert everyone's attention.

Now Meng Lianshu is still the housekeeper in the prime minister's residence, and the small Buddhist temple has never been lit with incense. She has only lost the title of "Prime Minister's Wife", and only outsiders who are not in the know take it seriously.

So, everyone's attention returned to Jiang Zihan and Sun Shuo.

Human nature's curiosity about romantic gossip is even stronger than that about ordinary gossip.

Jiang Wansang didn't even have to do much publicity, the news became even more sensational than before.

The sound of things being smashed in the main courtyard could be heard from Tingsang Pavilion every now and then.

Jiang Wansang enjoyed watching the show.

She knew that Meng Lianshu would not let it go like this. After all, she still had this trump card in her hand. For the sake of her own daughter Jiang Zihan, she would definitely use this card.

Sure enough, a few days later, new public opinion emerged on the street: nothing really happened between Jiang Zihan and Sun Shuo, because the young master of the Sun family was impotent.

This time, public opinion was in an uproar, and the Sun family and the Jiang family completely broke off relations.

Mrs. Sun, who had been searching for the lost betrothal gifts, told the news directly about Meng Lianshu's conspiracy with her to plot against Miss Jiang.

She also went to the Dali Temple to sue Meng Lianshu, saying that she suspected that the robbers who robbed the betrothal gifts were arranged by Meng Lianshu. Because she wanted to use this opportunity to trick Jiang Wansang into joining the prince, but failed, and also offended the Sun family, so she simply robbed the betrothal gifts in the street to suppress the Sun family.

It has to be said that the twists and turns of this incident were more exciting than all the gossips the people of the imperial city had eaten in their first half of their lives. People were so excited that they even stood on the street and talked loudly, without caring at all that they were talking about the prime minister and the vice minister of the Ministry of War.

Such a big commotion naturally reached the court.

The furious emperor threw a bunch of memorials implicating the two of them directly in the faces of Jiang Gaoyuan and Lord Sun, and punished them to be confined to their homes to reflect on their mistakes. They were allowed to return to court when they managed the harem well.

Although the emperor did not dismiss the two men from their posts, they were reprimanded in front of all the civil and military officials in the court and were also confined to their homes indefinitely. If there was any other trigger, the two men would be dismissed from their posts in no time.

When Pei Zhanzhou brought the news from the court, he deliberately described the scene where Jiang Gaoyuan was scolded in some detail, because he knew that Jiang Wansang would like to hear it.

Sure enough, Jiang Wansang's reaction was even more surprising than watching a play, and she clapped her hands in joy.

Pei Zhanzhou looked at her laughing without caring about her image, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He was not stingy with his praise, "Your combo is really brilliant."

From the moment he took people to the Dali Temple with drums and gongs to file a complaint, Jiang Wansang completed every step by himself. Pei Zhanzhou's appearance only served to add icing on the cake. It didn't matter whether he showed up or not.

With just the little power he had just established, Pei Zhanzhou had never seen anyone who could achieve this. This combo of moves was more than just "wonderful".

Jiang Wansang was very pleased with his praise.

Sun Shuo's reputation of being "impotent" spread completely; Jiang Gaoyuan was confined to his home by the emperor, and it would be impossible for him to continue to pretend to be a good official who was upright and honest and did not form cliques for personal gain; Meng Lianshu lost her title as the prime minister's wife, and even her housekeeper power was taken back by Old Lady Jiang, and she was confined to the newly repaired small Buddhist temple.

Even the male and female protagonists Jiang Zihan and Su Huanyu seemed to have lost the halo of the protagonists. Their reputations were tarnished, and they were ridiculed and looked at by people openly and covertly wherever they went.

Of course her combo is amazing!

But Jiang Wansang will not get carried away.

It goes without saying that these people will definitely blame all the misfortunes on her, and who knows what means they will use to deal with her in the future.

Especially Jiang Gaoyuan, he has worked hard to build his image for so many years and has been reluctant to make a choice among any of the princes, just to find the best way out for himself when the throne changes hands.

But now it's all destroyed!

If he wanted to continue staying in the court, he had to quickly choose between the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince.

Pei Zhanzhou came here today not only to deliver the message, but also for this matter.

"Who do you think Jiang Gaoyuan will choose in the end?"

"Of course it's Su Huanyu."

Jiang Wansang answered quickly and directly, without any hesitation or entanglement.

Pei Zhanzhou's eyes, which originally contained a hint of smile, gradually became dark and cold.
