Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Since the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wen ended yesterday.

Today, a large stack of memorials impeaching Wen Sitan appeared on the desk of the Empress Dowager, all of which criticized Wen Sitan for his arbitrary behavior, disrespect to the Grand Princess, and other past events.

Whether it's a big thing or a small thing, it sounds like if the empress doesn't discipline her nephew, the Tang Kingdom will be destroyed tomorrow.

The empress had long been accustomed to this. These imperial censors had been trying to find fault with her since she ascended the throne. No matter how cautious the literati were, they could always find fault with her.

What's more, Wen Siqin was indeed flamboyant and too naive, so he was used as a tool and his reputation was ruined.

"Mother, my aunt is here." Princess Yongle is the empress's youngest daughter. She is straightforward and calm in the face of difficulties. She is very much loved by the empress and often comes in and out of the imperial study.

The empress frowned in confusion and asked, "Didn't we just see him yesterday? Why is he in the palace today?"

"She looks like she's crying, as if she's been wronged." Princess Yongle skipped to her mother's side, holding up her skirt, and bent down to whisper in her ear.

"Then summon her in." The empress was very troubled by her sister-in-law. If the Wen family was still the same as before, just a family of scholars, it would be fine.

But as she climbed up step by step, the eldest sister-in-law's personality was no longer suitable for the position of mistress. However, the eldest brother and sister-in-law were still a young couple, and the Wen family could not do the shameless act of divorcing his wife without reason. They could only let the eldest brother teach her more and keep the status quo.

The eldest lady of the Wen family twisted her handkerchief with red eyes. She first bowed to the empress at the door, and then began to cry silently without saying a word. She just stood there, looking so frail and pitiful.

"Please sit down. What's going on today?" The empress said helplessly. She is so old, but she is still like this when encountering problems.

"Your Majesty, please take action for Qin Ge'er. My poor Qin Ge'er was tied up by my grandmother early this morning and sent to that... that academy."

As soon as the eldest lady of the Wen family sat on the stool, she began to sob and complain. It turned out that the child had caused trouble at the grandmother's birthday party yesterday. The parents were very angry and were waiting to call the child over today to give him a good scolding.

Who knew that before they could even do anything, the old grandmother had already tied the man up and sent him away. By the time they went to beg for mercy, the child had already been sent out of the house for a long time.

"Is this the academy that the grandmother of the Qiao Kang family mentioned yesterday?" The empress was also present and listened to the two old people talking for a long time. What they said sounded very strange.

"It's Panshi Academy." Princess Yongle reminded obediently from the side.

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

When Madam Wen heard this name, she was filled with hatred. She choked up and said, "The ancestors insisted that the son of the Qiao Kang family was the one named Wen Cheng. He used to be with Qin Ge'er, but now he has learned well and no longer steals outside.

When he came back, he said he wanted to go to study, and that it must be some academy with good teaching, so he sent Qin Ge'er there.

Qin Ge'er is so young and has never left home. If he goes to the academy and suffers, no one will love him. My poor Qin Ge'er... Please, Your Majesty, send Qin Ge'er back. He can't bear the hardship. "

"Cousin Qin is already seventeen years old, older than me, and he is still a child?" Princess Yongle secretly winked at the empress. The empress glared at her, feeling worried.

A loving mother often spoils her son. The reason why Wen Siqin became like this is largely due to his sister-in-law.

She was reluctant to let her child be strictly educated by her elder brother, nor was she willing to send her child to the palace to be taught personally by a great scholar.

He just spent his days in the Imperial College, wasting his life and learning nothing.

However, I have never heard of this Panshi Academy, and I can't let my grandmother send Wen Sitan there.

"Okay, go back. I'll send someone over to check on the situation first. Qin Ge'er is not a child anymore. He's no longer the baby in my sister-in-law's arms. Do you know how many reports I've received about Qin Ge'er getting into trouble? Every one of them asked me to punish him severely.

If this Rock Academy can truly teach Qin Ge'er well, I... should reward him handsomely."

The emperor's order had been issued, and Madam Wen had no choice but to retreat in disgrace.

The empress thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she immediately summoned the commander of her inner guards and asked him about the matter of Panshi Academy.

"You mean, this academy was opened by the wife of Marquis Anshun?" The empress's first reaction was that this academy might have some conspiracy.

Fu Zichan has been wanting to restore the Fu family's kingdom for a long time. The old guys in the royal clan are also secretly colluding with Fu Zichan. These are all the messes left by the idiot emperor, but she has to clean them up.

"Yes, there are almost no survivors in the Qian family except for the married women. Marquis Anshun found an opportunity to kill them all. I think the marquis's wife should know about it." The commander of the internal guards replied while kneeling on the ground.

"How did you know?"

"On the night of Anshun Hou's wedding, he intended to poison Qian. But now, not only is Qian alive, but Anshun Hou has temporarily disappeared. Something must have happened that night."

The empress was really surprised this time. During this period, she had to deal with a lot of affairs after ascending the throne, and she was a little negligent in other aspects, and she actually missed such an important thing.

"Can you find Fu Zichan?"

The commander shook his head and apologized, "I can only find out that there was another girl named Liu Ruyan in the bridal chamber that day. However, she knew very little about the matter. She has recently been targeted by the Marquis of Anshun's men, so I'm sure she won't live much longer."

"He is not dead and has established a firm foothold in the Marquis' Mansion..." He is not a simple character, but fortunately he has a blood feud with Fu Zichan, so he is worthy of attention.

"Panshi Academy, according to the observations of my subordinates, the Marquis of Anshun should have intended to station troops there, but by some strange coincidence, the academy is now in the hands of the Marquis' wife. Not only has it not been demolished, it is still continuously recruiting students, and the number of students is already quite large.

What surprised the subordinates the most was that Panshi Academy was originally about to be closed due to lack of students.

But within a month or so, the surrounding people spontaneously raised money to collect tuition fees, and tied up all the bullies and thugs who were causing trouble in the village and brought them to the academy, and the academy accepted them all."

"So amazing!" Princess Yongle became excited.

"And..." Seeing the princess here, the commander found it difficult to say some words.

The empress asked without restraint: "What?"

"The bad rumors about Marquis Anshun and the Concubine Dowager that have been circulating for the past half month should have been spread by the Marquis's wife at her cousin's house." The commander lowered his head; those rumors were too difficult to talk about.

"Hahahahaha, she is so funny, mother, she is so interesting." I felt that this marquis' wife was different from others yesterday.

After hearing her story today, Princess Yongle even wanted to make friends with her.

"He is indeed an interesting person. Go! Call Eunuch Yang and go to the Panshi Academy to announce my decree to me."
