Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Lan Xi, today is a big day for the Shen family, so let's not say anything to spoil the fun, lest we add to the bad luck!" Zhou Yunyuan smiled stiffly.

Shen Lanxi glanced at Zhou Yunxue, thought about it, and nodded.

“Today is a big day indeed.”

Zhou Yunyuan's face lit up with joy, and just as she was about to raise the corner of her mouth, she heard Shen Lanxi say another sentence.

"Then I'll tell you tomorrow."

Zhou Yunyuan's heart sank.

She secretly cursed Shen Lanxi as an abandoned woman. With her petty, cruel and vicious personality, she would definitely make things difficult for her.

"Lan Xi, we sisters haven't gotten together for a long time. Why don't I host you some other day and we go to Wangjiang Tower for a drink!"

Shen Lanxi: "It's been a long time since we last met, seven or eight years?"

Zhou Yunyuan froze again.

"Don't worry, I'm back in Beijing and I'm doing well. I will take good care of you and your family in the future!" Shen Lanxi said something ambiguous and went to toast.

Zhou Yun looked at Shen Lanxi's half-smiley face and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. By the time he left, he was shivering all over.

After dinner, Zhou Yunxue found Shen Lanxi.

"Lan Xi, don't take Zhou Yunyuan's words to heart. She is just jealous in words, but her life behind the scenes is not as glamorous as it seems."

Shen Lanxi: "I know. After you came to see me last time, I asked someone to find out why you married Fang Wenting."

Zhou Yunxue lowered her head in embarrassment and pursed her lips tightly.

"If you want to divorce, I'll help you."

Zhou Yunxue looked up in surprise. Divorce?

She had thought about it before.

"Lan Xi, my family also investigated Fang Wen Ting, but at that time, my family lost power and I lost my reputation, so I had no choice but to give myself to him. Now I have a son and a daughter, and he is also actively making progress. I don't want to divorce."

Shen Lanxi thought that Zhou Yunxue was also implicated by her, so she was willing to be patient with her.

"I can make you a promise. If you want to divorce, I will find someone to set up a household for you, so that you can return to the capital and live there, and I will keep you safe. If you want to divorce with your children, I can also help you do that."

Zhou Yunxue's eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "Lan Xi, I'm fine. When my husband passes the imperial examination, he will become a formal seventh-rank official. If he can rank in the top three, he can be promoted one level, which is great."

Shen Lanxi: "As long as you are satisfied, if you want to divorce, this promise will always be valid with me!"

Zhou Yunxue originally had something else to say, but was interrupted by Shen Lanxi, and left with a heavy heart.

The next day, Shen Lanxi went to the palace to file a complaint against Zhou Yunyuan's husband.

"Uncle, she openly insulted me as an abandoned woman at Shen Yuanxu's wedding banquet yesterday, and relied on her husband's status as the examiner of this imperial examination to threaten Zhou Yunxue. Uncle, Zhou Yunyuan is bullying others by taking advantage of her power. I didn't even take advantage of my power to bully others, but she did this without my permission. Uncle, you can't be partial..."

"If you are partial... then I will also bully others by taking advantage of my power..."

Emperor Renxiao looked at Shen Lanxi with an indescribable look.

"Look at what you look like now. Where is the majesty of leading the Zhenbei Army? Where is the look of a general returning from a victorious battle? If outsiders see you like this, how can they convince them?" Emperor Renxiao said with a smile on his face.

Shen Lanxi sat on the steps next to the table, looking like she was about to fall over.

With so many people watching yesterday, this rumor must have reached Emperor Renxiao's ears long ago.

Emperor Renxiao was very satisfied with Shen Lanxi's attitude of reporting everything to him, but he was also a little disgusted with the fact that she couldn't handle anything now.

Sometimes, people are just so conflicted.

He wants his subordinates to be stronger, but he is also worried that if they are too strong, they will threaten his position.

"Alright, alright. Since you are loyal to me, I will give you a favor and transfer this person away."

Shen Lanxi achieved her goal and stood up to express her gratitude without saying a word.

"Uncle, can I ask you something?"

Emperor Renxiao snorted and laughed: "You are so powerful, you still have something to ask me?"

Shen Lanxi: "My prestige is borrowed from you. I'm just curious, how did you come up with the idea of ​​marrying a concubine to Shen Yuanxu? If it were me, I would never think of it!"

Emperor Renxiao was embarrassed. He couldn't tell Shen Lanxi that there were rumors that Miss Hu committed suicide because she was angry about Zhou Ruyuan and Shen Yuantang having an affair!

The Minister of Personnel was an important official whom he relied on, and he also wanted to use the Hu family, so naturally he could not let a woman from the Hu family be his concubine.

It was Wang Bao who inadvertently reminded him that it was common for men to have two wives, so there was nothing wrong with marrying a co-wife.

Another thing is that I felt a little sorry for Shen Yuanxu before. Looking at the quality of his writing, there is a high probability that he will have no chance of taking the imperial examination.

Just based on his words that every citizen has a share of responsibility when the country is in trouble, this marriage can be considered as compensation to him.

Emperor Renxiao glanced at Shen Lanxi unhappily and said, "The daughter of the Hu family is also a good match for Shen Yuanxu. Let's not talk about the wife he married before!"

Don’t make your wife laugh when she can’t even walk.

"Yuan Xu at least called me uncle, I can't let him, my nephew, feel bad."

Shen Lanxi looked deeply moved.

"Uncle, it's great to have you as my uncle!"

Emperor Renxiao was very pleased. After Shen Lanxi left, he reviewed memorials twice as fast as before.

However, Wang Bao was happy for just two days before he received a secret report from Tianjin.

After reading it, Emperor Renxiao was so angry that he fainted.

Afterwards, the news spread, and Wang Baolian drank three cups of ginseng tea before he saved Emperor Renxiao's life.

As soon as the news came out, the harem began to stir. Dozens of carrier pigeons and hawks flew out at night, and one of them flew into Shen Lanxi's hands.

The next day, someone secretly sent a brocade box to Zhou Ru'an's house.

"My Lord, it's another banknote."

Shen Lanxi pursed her lips and smiled coldly: "Accept it, write another letter and put it in the brocade box, and send it back to him!"

Che Mingyuan: "What to write?"

Shen Lanxi's eyes turned, and she said, "Just write about sacrificing the pawn to save the master, and make him admit that he had an affair with Zhou Qiwu's son and daughter, but he was framed by Zhou Qiwu and was caught by Zhou Qiwu, so he had to obey her."

Che Mingyuan's mouth twitched: "Isn't this a bit too crazy?"

Shen Lanxi: "Crazy? Sometimes the crazier you are, the more people will believe you. This is called taking an unconventional approach!"

Che Mingyuan was a little skeptical. If he were Zhou Ru'an, he would definitely not do as he was told.

You have to be crazy to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a bad idea!

Who would have thought that less than a day after the letter was sent back, Zhou Ru'an knelt in his mansion, weeping and begging for forgiveness towards the direction of the imperial palace, and even wrote a letter in blood to present to the emperor.

Che Mingyuan stood at the gate of Juding Mansion, staring in amazement in the direction of Zhou Ru'an's residence.

It's crazy. The world is going crazy.

On that day, Shen Lanxi was summoned into the palace by Emperor Renxiao overnight.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Why didn't anyone tell me that you were sick?" Shen Lanxi's eyes turned red when she saw Emperor Renxiao leaning on the couch. She hurried a few steps, stumbled and fell in front of Emperor Renxiao.

That distressed look made him look more like his own son than Zhou Ru'an who was kneeling beside him.
