Wei Changgeng handed over the things, thinking that losing the chance to become Imperial Censor was his biggest disaster, but he didn't know that he had more than one enemy.

How could his competitors miss this opportunity to give him a beating?

Another censor reported the matter to the emperor in a memorial.

Wei Changgeng was impeached for failing to manage his household properly, embezzling his daughter-in-law's dowry, and having a bad family tradition, and was unfit to be an imperial censor.

After reading the memorial and understanding what had happened, the emperor flew into a rage and ordered Wei Changgeng to be beaten with 20 sticks, dismissed from his post, and reduced to a penniless person.

Even if Shen Ning didn't have to keep watch, someone would tell her the news about the Wei family.

After twenty lashes of the board, Wei Changgeng would probably be dismissed from office, and the Wei family would not be able to recover in a short time.

Shen Ning was satisfied with this result. Wei Changgeng was not a good person to begin with. He was full of calculations and greed. Shen Ning would not keep him to support Wei Congwen.

Without his father who was a third-rank imperial censor, and without his childhood sweetheart who was willing to sacrifice herself for his future, she wanted to see how far Wei Congwen could go this time.

"Miss, Miss, good news, good news!"

Yuzhu ran in excitedly, causing Shen Ning to quickly stand up and hold her down.

"You're fine, stop jumping, doesn't your head hurt?"

Yuzhu was so excited that she didn't feel any pain at all. Her eyes were full of gloating excitement: "Miss, I heard that Wei Congwen was hit by a wine jug and fell into the river last night. He became stupid after being rescued."

Shen Ning: “Huh?”

"real or fake?"

Yuzhu nodded rapidly, "It's true, absolutely true. Several doctors have checked on him. He's awake, but he doesn't talk, move, eat or drink. He just keeps his eyes open, like a corpse. They say he's been possessed by a water ghost."

Shen Ning raised his eyebrows. This was indeed a bit unexpected. However, whether he was beaten stupidly or the blow was too great for him to accept remains to be discussed.

The Wei family is temporarily ruined, and Shen Shu is also moving things today. She is moving from the Liang family to the manor.

Shen Ning didn't know why Shen Shu decided to live in the manor, but she could feel that the trajectory of fate was starting to move again.

In her previous life, Shen Shu was brought back by Shen Ning and sent to the manor to recuperate after having a miscarriage, and then she rekindled her relationship with Han Yin there. Later, in the name of true love, she actually entered the Han family without any status.

This life started out in chaos because of Shen Ning's intervention, but now it seems to be back on track. What is this?

Destiny cannot be changed?

ridiculous!

Mrs. Wei was busy taking care of her husband who was beaten with a stick, and she also had to pray to gods and Buddhas everywhere to exorcise the evil spirit for her son.

Shen Shu was busy flirting with Han Yin, and the two were inseparable.

Shen Ning didn't want to know the details of their affair, but everyone in the village was hers.

Men might be more polite to the delicate and beautiful Shen Shu, but few women could stand Shen Shu's behavior.

She had just gotten divorced and was having an affair with someone on her own farm without any matchmaking. It was truly shameful.

While delivering things to Shen Ning, news also came one after another, and the content was quite explosive.

It is said that the two men like to play all kinds of tricks, such as hanging out in the attic, teahouse, kitchen, pavilion, and various other places. Although it is a farm where tenants gather, they act as if there is no one there.

Several times, Shen Shu was seen appearing at the edge of the railing in dishevel, with a seductive look on her face, even more wanton than the girls in the brothels.

Shen Ning: “…”

In her previous life, she was forced to listen to the emotional entanglements between Shen Shu and three men, and witnessed the deep love between Shen Shu and Han Yin.

She thought she could escape in her lifetime, but the result was sublimation, and this time she even knew the postures.

She didn't want to know, but these people's desire to speak was too strong.

Why should she, a still unmarried girl, listen to this? ? ?

Shen Ning could only refuse all the visitors who came to visit her at the manor. Out of sight, out of mind. If she continued to listen, her ears would get dirty.

-----

There were many banquets before the New Year, and Shen Ning also received many invitations.

The invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion was sent to her by Princess Changle, and the original words were: "If you want to take this opportunity to get to know those noble ladies, then come. If not, then don't come."

She wanted to help Shen Ning build a ladder, but she didn't want to force Shen Ning to suffer.

The main reason is that her position in the Luo family is not like that in the Qi Palace. If she were the princess of the Qi Palace, she would naturally be able to protect Shen Ning, but now she is the young lady of the Luo family and cannot act as she pleases as before.

Shen Ning thanked him and then decided not to go.

The Shen family's business is pretty good now, and the New Year period is the peak season. Even for those expensive jewellery, as long as they are beautiful and novel enough, there is no shortage of buyers.

There is no need for her, the boss, to go out and attract clients for the time being.

Of course, the most important point is that she is very afraid of the cold now. Seeing that it is about to snow, she doesn’t want to move at all.

However, when an invitation letter with gold foil and phoenix feathers was delivered to Shen Ning, he was still scared to the point of almost jumping up.

"A post from the Queen?"

The Queen invited her into the palace?

Shen Ning didn't think her status was high enough for the Queen to invite her, so the reason was Qin Zhuo.

She took it and immediately asked someone to deliver it to Qin Zhuo.

Since this matter was caused by him, she should listen to his opinions. Otherwise, she would not know what to say when she goes to the Queen.

She doesn't do anything without certainty.

Soon, Qin Zhuo sent someone over, and it was Lu Mei, an acquaintance of his, who said, "The young master has taken the invitation, and he will help you reject it. From now on, all invitations from the queen will be sent to the Qin residence, and you don't have to pay attention to them."

Shen Ning: “…”

Ignore the Queen? Are you sure?

Seeing Shen Ning's uneasiness, Lu Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. The Queen loves you the most. As long as you ask, the Queen will not look for you in the future. Don't worry."

Shen Ning was barely able to put his mind at ease, knowing that Qin Zhuo would still do what he promised.

After finishing the business, Lu Mei asked about Shen Ning's health: "How is your health?"

Shen Ning: "I'm much better now, just a little weak in Qi and blood, but it's nothing serious."

The wound on the shoulder was so deep that the bone was visible. It should have left some sequelae after healing, but Shen Ning did not feel too uncomfortable. When Doctor Chen examined Shen Ning, he asserted that she must have used excellent life-saving medicine, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to recover so quickly.

So it’s still because of Qin Zhuo.

Lumei also hoped that Shen Ning was fine, and she was relieved to see that she was indeed fine.

"Zi Yan wanted to come too, but I snatched her away. She asked me to convey her gratitude for the gift."

After Shen Ning came back and dealt with the matters, he had someone send carefully selected gifts to the two of them. They were not very expensive, but were pearl jewelry that every girl would like, as well as cloth of good quality.

It's not expensive, but it's just the right gift for the two maids.

Shen Ning looked at Lu Mei's hair, and saw the pearl flower she had given her. She smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
