Chapter 228 The Fake Young Master Is Not a Fake Young Master
"Hey! Brother Wu, where did you find such a cruel woman?"
The official next to him asked the Minister of Guanglu Temple.
The Guanglu Temple Minister's face turned pale. He ignored the questions of the people around him and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty! I didn't manage my household well, so I let my concubine..."
Wu Qingfeng, the second son of the Minister of Imperial Households, also knelt down with his father with a pale face. He was extremely flustered because he was not a father and mother or a son, and he was not even a child from a commoner family.
It turned out to be a lowly child born to a prostitute.
He refused to believe it. How could it be possible? How could he not be the son of an official?
[Why are you pretending? That concubine is not only his favorite concubine, but also his distant cousin. If he hadn't doted on her too much, making her so bold, how could she dare to do it? She even planned to take the position after killing the wife.]
[Hmm... Can Daqian's concubine be made the legal wife? Let me see.]
No!
Everyone can answer this.
Although there are no clear legal provisions on making a concubine the legal wife in Daqian, the censor is enough to make you unable to eat or drink well.
There was once a marquis in Daqian who lost his official position and title because he made his concubine his wife, although there was also an element of political revenge in it.
Therefore, unless the Minister of the Ministry of Rites does not want to be an official, this concubine will definitely not be able to become his wife.
[No, so what is this concubine doing? Does she not understand the law or... oh, she was simply drugged too much, and it was Master Wu who drugged her personally.]
[Ahem...]
Xu Jinyu cleared his throat and spoke like the Minister of the Imperial Household, with the nonchalant tone of a man coaxing a woman.
[Rongrong, you are my favorite, but unfortunately you are of a low birth. I need a wife of high status, so I can only make you my concubine.]
[Don't worry, I'll find a way to make you a legitimate child when the child grows up.]
[It’s a pity that our child is a bastard. It would be better if he was a legitimate son...]
[The Guanglu Temple Minister's words were meant to coax people, but this concubine took it seriously. Not only did she take it seriously, she also took action, and even found a reason and was just waiting to launch the attack.]
[Tsk tsk tsk...]
Listening to Xu Jinyu's voice, Guanglu Temple Minister desperately turned his brain, thinking about how to get past this matter today.
If he fails to fool people, his career as the Minister of Imperial Households will be over.
The inner guards above repeated Xu Jinyu's words expressionlessly, and the face of the wife of the Minister of Guanglu Temple visibly turned from pale to rosy, and then from rosy to red.
His legs were so weak that he could not stand just now, but now he suddenly found the strength from somewhere and rushed to the front of the Minister of Guanglu Temple and slapped him in the face.
"Snapped!"
hiss~~~
All the civil and military officials took a deep breath.
I haven't seen a wife beat her husband in many years.
But this Guanglu Temple Minister really deserves to be beaten. If it weren't for what he said, a concubine would not have such great ambitions.
"Mr. Wu! I want a divorce!"
Hey!
All the civil and military officials were in a state of disgrace again. This was going to set a precedent. It had been many years since a wife had been divorced for peace.
"Madam! Madam! I won't divorce you. We have a deep affection for each other. Why should we divorce?"
The Minister of the Imperial Household embraced his wife's thighs.
"Okay, no divorce." The wife of the Minister of Imperial Households sneered.
The Guanglu Temple Minister was so moved that his eyes filled with tears: "Madam, thank you so much..."
"Then send your concubine to Jingzhao Yin, and send her children to Nanfeng Pavilion and the brothel."
"no!"
The Minister of the Imperial Household stood up at once and said, "Yuan'er has been engaged, and the third son has passed the examination for a scholar, and will soon be able to take the examination for a juren."
"Then my son deserves to grow up in Nanfeng Pavilion."
"No...No..."
[Wow! Guanglu Temple Minister was blaming his wife in his heart for not being careful when giving birth, otherwise how could someone swap the baby without her knowing.]
[Now he has a son who grew up in Nanfeng Hall. What should he do to save face? Why not kill this son? It would be best to make it look like suicide, and say that this child was too ashamed to face people and hanged himself.]
"Snakes and rats from the same nest! Snakes and rats from the same nest!"
An old censor finally couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing at the Minister of Guanglu Temple, pointing at his nose.
"You and your concubine are really a nest of snakes and rats. I found out..."
The old censor slammed on the brakes and almost let the cat out of the bag.
[What's the saying "snakes and rats are of the same nest"? It's like there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. If one is cruel, then the other will be even more cruel! ]
Old Censor: Lord Xu’s summary is really on point.
He turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I impeach the Minister of Guanglu Temple..."
The result of this incident was that the Guanglu Temple Minister was demoted for failing to manage his family properly. If the court was not short of people, he would at least be dismissed from his post and investigated.
The wife of the Minister of Imperial Households knelt down to express her gratitude, leaving Wu Qingfeng looking blankly at his father and then at his mother.
Then he called out, "Mom!"
Madam Wu touched Wu Qingfeng's face and said, "My son, you are not my biological son, but I have raised you for more than ten years. I love you."
"But if I feel bad for you, it would be unfair to my biological son. He just came home, and I can't let him be sad. You go home first, and we can talk about the rest later."
The officials who were farther away from Xu Jinyu began to whisper.
"This child is really pitiful. I just don't know what to do in the future. Born in a men's brothel, this child will never be able to hold his head up high for the rest of his life."
"It's better to be unable to hold your head up than to be a prostitute! It's just some gossip. As long as he is strong enough, it's just a drizzle."
"But can you become strong? I'm afraid that what you learned growing up in Nanfeng Hall is how to please men."
·······
Listening to other people's discussions, Mrs. Wu touched the child's face distressedly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let you suffer any injustice."
[Finally, there is a mother who is not so confused. Among those real and fake young masters, the ones who are loved are all fake young masters. It makes people feel heartbroken.]
[Hey! This fake young master isn't really a fake young master, he is still a young master. ]
Eh~~~
There is a reversal to this matter.
The civil and military officials opened their eyes wide, expecting Xu Jinyu to bring them new gossip.
