Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Letters were written slowly in ancient times.

But the urgent delivery was by no means slow.

In less than four days, Song Siyuan's letter reached his grandfather, Imperial Censor Song.

Imperial Censor Song's hands trembled as he held the letter.

What is so urgent?

What could possibly require such an urgent dispatch?

He knew that his grandson and Prince Jing had suffered a great calamity, but he did not know the specifics of the calamity.

In his previous letter to his grandson, the grandson made no mention of the period he had disappeared, only saying that he had gone out to travel incognito.

Then he rescued a group of children who had been pelted with flowers, and was slightly injured in the process.

Prince Jing submitted a memorial to the emperor, accusing the kidnapper of committing heinous and inhuman acts and demanding severe punishment as a warning to others.

The kidnapper died without ever knowing that he had injured the prince and was then accused by the prince—a heinous crime!

But Imperial Censor Song knew that this was not the case; his grandson was honest and kind and never good at lying.

That's why the Empress chose her grandson to be Prince Jing's study companion.

He sensed something amiss between the lines of the letter, but could only remain silent.

Open the letter.

Imperial Censor Song's complexion gradually improved.

As long as it's not about my grandson!

However, this was, after all, a family matter for Vice Minister Jiang.

Moreover, the Lu family has already been convicted and exiled. Anyone who dares to say a word in the Emperor's presence for the Lu family is courting death!

He doesn't want to die.

As for Madam Jiang, it is said that she was unfilial to her mother-in-law and poisoned her illegitimate son, which is why she was sent back to the estate.

If it were any other company, they would definitely be abandoned.

It wouldn't be appropriate to leave it with Vice Minister Jiang's family; the Cheng Lu family has too many favors to repay.

Divorcing one's wife is a crime that will be condemned, condemned as ungrateful, and impeached by the censor.

Of course, this censor was him, as the Grand Censor.

However, the truth of this matter concerning the inner quarters is hard to discern...

Even if Madam Jiang really did save his grandson, giving her more money and silk would suffice.

Impeachment would be going too far.

Even though censors have the power to impeach officials, they cannot abuse their power.

However, just as Imperial Censor Song was about to put the letter back into the envelope, another slip of paper fell out.

The striking words and handwriting stung the eyes of Imperial Censor Song.

"What Young Master Song wrote is exactly what I intend..."

This is King Jing's handwriting... it was written by King Jing himself.

What... what should we do?

Imperial Censor Song's eyebrows twitched.

He summoned the old servant and said, "Find someone to keep an eye on the Jiang residence and see what Vice Minister Jiang is up to lately, or if there's anything amiss!"

The old servant responded and left.

I can't help the Lu family, but I can always impeach those who bullied the Lu family's daughters.

Within half a day.

The old servant returned with news: "My lord, I had some people keep watch, and they discovered a woman lingering furtively outside the Jiang residence. She tried several times to approach Minister Jiang but failed. She was then abandoned in a dilapidated temple in the wilderness and nearly assaulted, but our men rescued her..."

"A woman! What kind of woman?"

Imperial Censor Song stared wide-eyed as if he had heard something incredible.

Jiang Yunze, that brat, is enjoying the bliss of having two noble ladies by his side, one on each side.

He even has romantic entanglements!

The old servant continued, "She was a woman of exceptional beauty. She said she came from Taoxi Village and was Minister Jiang's childhood sweetheart."

Childhood sweetheart, but she's still a married woman!

Imperial Censor Song's eyes widened in disbelief.

My first thought was, could this woman be Jiang Yunze's mistress?

This is huge news!

Jiang Yunze, that kid, used to act all sanctimonious, but he was just a hypocrite.

Imperial Censor Song then asked, "Has the matter been clarified? Is that woman Jiang Yunze's mistress?"

"My lord, the woman's name is Tao Tao. She lives in Taoxi Village and is the daughter of the clerk of Qinghe County. She is not Vice Minister Jiang's mistress..."

It's from Taoxi Village again.

"Then why did she come to the capital to find Jiang Yunze?"

The old servant replied, "According to the woman, her father was coerced by Qi, the concubine of Minister Jiang, and plotted to harm Lady Jiang's eldest son... The woman came to ask Minister Jiang to uphold justice."

Song Yushu frowned slightly, recalling his grandson's letter, which was written in a similar manner.

What was said was indeed true.

It was not that the boy was deceived, nor that he acted impulsively.

It seems that the grandson and Prince Jing were kidnapped and then rescued by that woman surnamed Lu, which is why Prince Jing couldn't stand by and watch and stepped in to help.

After pondering for a moment, Imperial Censor Song instructed his old servant, "Settle the woman in and then investigate whether what she said and did is true."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

A few days later, Imperial Censor Song presented a memorial impeaching the emperor.

He favored his concubine over his wife, neglected his wife and children, allowed his concubine to kill his wife and children, and mistreated his elder brother and clansmen, causing his brother to be crippled...

Jiang Yunze knelt on the throne in the Golden Palace, looking completely bewildered.

It was like having a bucket of ice water poured over your head; the chill went straight to your bones.

The civil servants should be clean and reputable.

However, these incidents ruined his good reputation built up over many years.

The senior officials shook their heads at him, and the emperor sighed.

No matter how much the emperor valued him, he could not withstand the pressure from the censors.

The court immediately announced, "Jiang Yunze, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is of questionable character and is hereby demoted to the position of Director of the Ministry of Rites, with a one-year salary deduction, as a warning to others..."

Jiang Yunze was pale and knelt on the ground.

Once all the officials had left the main hall, he shakily got up and stumbled out.

His handsome face was pale and bloodless, and his hair was disheveled in the wind.

Just like his mood at this moment.

He couldn't understand how he had offended these censors.

What a bolt from the blue!

He was originally enjoying a successful career, and even though he risked his life to plead for the Lu family, His Majesty did not really blame him.

Afterwards, they praised him for being kind and righteous!

It also won him a chorus of praise from the court officials.

He couldn't understand why he had been demoted so inexplicably...

Heaven knows how difficult it was for him to climb up the ranks. He had originally planned for his father-in-law to retire and return to his hometown, but thanks to his recommendation, the position of Minister of Rites was rightfully his.

Now...it's all destroyed!

His reputation, built up over many years, is gone.

Did he allow his concubine to kill his wife and children?

Without even thinking, it must be Qi Caiwei who caused this trouble again...

They've already elevated her to the status of a secondary wife, yet she's still not satisfied. She's truly a worry.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs; if this gets out, what will the world think of him?

And what about treating one's elder brother and clansmen poorly?

Mother repaid Jiang Yunhu's money, and gave him thirty taels of silver every year.

Thirty taels a year was already a lot for Jiang Yunhu.

They don't have to pay land tax, and thirty taels is enough for them to eat meat every day.

It's really unpopular!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunze's expression darkened further, and he quickened his pace...

Upon returning to the manor, he headed straight for Qi Caiwei's courtyard.

Qi Caiwei now lives in the main courtyard... Xilan Courtyard.

Lu Qingyao's former courtyard.

"Husband, you're back?" Qi Caiwei saw his angry expression and quickly had tea and snacks served.

Her father had already sent someone to deliver a message to her: her husband had been impeached by the censor and demoted...

Let her try to persuade him to be patient.

So right now, she's feeling guilty!

Seeing that Jiang Yunze did not respond, she was sulking.

She handed him a cup of tea and said softly, "Husband, calm down. It's all just those old scoundrels making things up..."

"Bang!" There was a sound.

The teacup in Qi Caiwei's hand was smashed to the ground...
