After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Previously, whether Yan Yu was married off or something else, it had nothing to do with the Shao family.

Over the years, the Shao family has never dared to cause trouble in front of the emperor, nor did they dare to show that they were too protective of the Zhenguo Mansion, for fear that the emperor would mistakenly think that the Shao family was so active in order to take away the Zhenguo Mansion's connections and property.

So much so that even when their cousin was blatantly bullied by outsiders, the Shao family didn't dare to say a word.

Just as the brothers Shao Junliang and Shao Junshou said, Yan Yu's surname is Wen after all, and their whole family's surname is Shao.

None of Yan Yu's relatives with the same surname jumped out to say anything, so how could the Shao family intervene in this matter?

But if the wife of the Shao family was beaten, then the situation would be different!

After Yan Yu heard what the maid said, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went over.

When she went there, Xiao Cui'er, Jiang's maid, was holding a medicine bottle and applying medicine to Jiang.

Yan Yu didn't expect Jiang to be so seriously injured. She quickly took the medicine bottle from Xiao Cui'er and applied the medicine to Jiang herself: "Aunt, how did you get injured like this?"

Jiang didn't care much about the pain. A fierce light flashed in her eyes: "Let them wait for me. I want to see if there is still law in this world."

Yan Yu has always had a good relationship with her third aunt. When she first arrived at the Shao family, Jiang had been married for three or four years and was not pregnant, so she took good care of Yan Yu and treated her as her own daughter.

It is rare to say, but after Yan Yu's visit, good things always happened to the Shao family. First, Shao Hong passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Then Jiang became pregnant and gave birth to two children in three years.

As a result, Jiang felt that Yan Yu was a lucky star, and each of the three branches of the Shao family loved Yan Yu very much.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt are a bit older, while Jiang is young and closer to Yan Yu.

Jiang didn't need to come alone to the capital this time. The journey was long and dangerous, with mountains and rivers everywhere. But Jiang couldn't bear to leave the girl she raised behind, and insisted on coming with Shao Hong.

Yan Yu's hands were delicate, and she often learned some pharmacology from the sisters of the Shao family, so it was easier for her to apply the medicine to Jiang. She felt a tingling sensation and didn't feel any pain at all.

After applying the medicine, Jiang wiped her hands with a hot towel and said, "Remember, you are a rich lady, you can't always do the work of serving others. If you like to suffer, you will suffer endlessly."

Most of the younger girls in the Shao family have to learn poetry and literature, medical skills, and then needlework.

Jiang was a shrewd and capable person, but she was not an educated, gentle and virtuous woman. She was better at managing the household and liked dealing with people. Over the years, Jiang taught Yan Yu everything she knew.

If the waters in the capital weren't so deep, Jiang, who had just arrived, would have been afraid that he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, and he would never have used himself as bait and used this self-torture trick.

Jiang was teaching Yan Yu when the door opened and Shao Hong walked in with his two nephews.

Yan Yu quickly stood up and bowed to Shao Hong: "Third uncle, eldest cousin, third cousin."

When Shao Junliang and Shao Junshou saw Yan Yu here, they returned the greeting and quickly retreated.

Shao Hong nodded: "Yan'er, go back to your room and rest first. Your aunt and I have something to talk about."

Yan Yu glanced at Jiang.

Jiang nodded: "Yan'er, go back and take your medicine."

As soon as Yan Yu left, Shao Junliang and Shao Junshou both walked in.

The two brothers felt distressed and ashamed when they saw their aunt injured like this. They were immediately furious: "This is too much! This is really too much!"

Jiang raised her eyes and said, "You two little bastards, what are you doing here? Go write a letter!"

After the morning court session the next day.

The Minister of Rites Wei Hao looked dejected and went straight home.

Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Minister of Rites, was unhappy: "Why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites to work? What are you doing at home?"

Wei Hao raised his finger and pointed at Liu, then fell silent after a while.

With the death of Liu's father, the Liu family gradually lost their voice in the court.

In the Anqing Marquis Mansion in Lingcheng, there has never been a shortage of people in the court.

The wife of Shao Hong, the third master of the Marquisate, Ms. Jiang, is the younger sister of the Northwest Governor.

Liu and Wei Ruxuan slapped Jiang seven or eight times in the capital. No prince's princess would dare to do such a thing!

Moreover, these two people spoke wildly, saying things like "the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo is a sickly girl who will die early". When the censors impeached them this morning, all the generals in the court wanted to skin the Minister of Rites Wei Hao alive.

Emperor Jianxing immediately ordered Wei Hao to divorce his wife and stripped this woman of her title of Consort Gaoming.

Wei Hao could not forget the support his father-in-law had given him, so he asked to resign from the cabinet and was demoted to the Minister of Rites, thus saving Liu's life.

"Do you know who you beat up yesterday?"

The assistant minister's wife, Liu, frowned: "Why? Did someone complain to you? Or do you know that concubine from yesterday?"

The Minister of Rites' lips trembled and he was speechless for a long time.

Liu looked Wei Hao up and down and said, "You don't know that woman, do you? She is dressed in red and green and looks very flashy. I have never seen a decent woman dressed so brightly! How did you and her--"

"She is the third daughter-in-law of Marquis Anqing and the younger sister of Northwest Commander Jiang Bao!"

Liu didn't react for a long time. She considered the woman's status and her face suddenly turned pale. "She complained to the emperor? Will it affect our daughter's marriage?"

The Minister of Rites suddenly laughed.

Even at this time, I'm still thinking about my daughter's marriage.

If this man really cared about his daughter's marriage, he wouldn't have made the situation so embarrassing.

Liu tugged at his sleeves: "Are you afraid to plead for our daughter?"

The Minister of Rites shook her off and said, "Go and wait for the imperial edict."

Half an hour later, the imperial edict came down. Liu was deprived of the imperial edict, Wei Ruxuan lost her position as the principal wife, and was named the concubine of the fifth prince.

Liu collapsed to the ground, having never expected this to happen.

Wei Ruxuan accepted the imperial edict reluctantly.

She really didn't expect that the woman who looked like a foreigner yesterday actually had such a prominent background.

Although she lost her position as the principal wife, as long as she could marry the fifth prince, it would be fine for her to be a concubine.

This dog emperor is obviously a tyrant. He doesn't care about the affairs of the world, but only cares about the gossips between women.

But it doesn’t matter. This tyrant will not have a good end. Sooner or later, the fifth prince will ascend the throne. When the fifth prince becomes emperor in the future, she can still become the queen with her identity and halo as the heroine.

Marrying the fifth prince as a concubine is a hundred times better than marrying the madman King Qin and becoming a living widow.

Wei Ruxuan quickly comforted Liu: "It's okay, mother, I am glad that I can marry the fifth prince. I will definitely be able to lead us to a better life in the future!"
