Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 185: What Is She Doing Now?
The calamity of a death sentence is not far away!
This sentence was like a heavy hammer that struck fiercely at the man’s heart. He thought of Huang Wei’s fate and couldn’t help but shrink his neck.
He thought of the Imperial Censor Huang Wei, who impeached Li Qingmu, and as a result, was banished to Xinan by the Emperor.
This Emperor is not an easy master to serve. The fact that he could stand out from dozens of Princes back then shows how formidable his methods are!
Afterward, even though he could have discovered Prince Li’s treacherous intentions at the first opportunity and taken him down, he instead chose to let it slide, waiting until the other party had gathered enough people before making a sweeping strike, uprooting those who threatened his position!
Suddenly, the man seemed to realize something, his body trembly shocked, with a strong disbelief on his face, "Could it be that the current situation is also orchestrated by the Emperor himself?"
He Jian glanced at him indifferently, that gaze seemed to say, "The youth can be taught!"
"New officials burn three fires as they take office. As the new Imperial Censor, naturally, he must impeach a minister or two. He, a mere scholar, who can he casually impeach in this court? He might even sully himself in the process. Ha, we just need to watch the show!"
"You are wise, my lord!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
In the duty room.
Su Shi handed over a document to Li Qingmu.
"This is the deployment of all officials, have a look first. At the beginning and end of the year, there are assessments, which means impeaching memorials. Take your time to explore and see if there is anyone you can impeach, but remember to maintain a sense of proportion! But there’s no need to hurry, take it slowly!"
"Thank you very much!"
There were other colleagues in the duty room, but they did not interact with Li Qingmu. In the Imperial Censorate, they did not dare to have too much interaction with several Princes, nor did they dare to offend them.
Previously, the matter of Li Qingmu and Pang Wenzheng being at odds and confronting each other in the Golden Hall had already spread. Pang Wenzheng is on the Crown Prince’s side, who dares to provoke the Crown Prince’s anger?
Of course, Li Qingmu didn’t care about making connections with these so-called "colleagues." Next, he would become familiar with the environment and then find an opportunity to give the Wang Family a thunderous strike!
...
Chang Family.
Chang Yao was reading a book in the study when his sister Chang Lexi rushed in.
She made a great commotion, so logically Chang Yao should notice, but he didn’t respond and continued reading his book.
Chang Lexi called out "Brother," but there was no response from the other side.
She was suddenly furious, angrily grabbing the book and tearing it into shreds.
"Le’er, what are you doing?"
Chang Yao frowned, helplessly looking at his sister. Old Master Chang and his wife only had this precious daughter, the jewel of the whole mansion, cherished by Old Master Chang and his wife as well as by Chang Yao.
This sister just has a bit of a temper!
Chang Lexi snorted, "Brother, you said last time that you’d help me vent my anger. Now what? You stay home all day reading, where’s the help for my anger?"
Chang Yao leaned back in the rattan chair, "Isn’t it just not the right time yet?"
"When? I don’t care, that woman embarrassed me in front of so many people last time, I must get revenge! Why should she be a sixth-rank Imperial Decree Lady, while I’m just a commoner, having to look up at her? It infuriates me!"
Chang Lexi stomped her feet furiously after saying this.
Chang Yao chuckled lightly, "Then why not marry someone? As long as you marry an official above fourth rank, I’ll ask the Emperor to confer you as a Titled Lady."
"I don’t want to; I don’t want to marry anyone! I just want to stay home with my parents and brothers!"
Chang Yao sighed, his sister was mischievous, but at least she was a filial child.
"Don’t worry, brother won’t let that woman have it easy! Last time, because of her, our eldest aunt was confined by the Emperor and is still imprisoned in the palace. This debt will be settled with her sooner or later!"
He slowly stood up and clapped his hands, upon which a man dressed in black appeared instantly.
In such noble families, they would often keep some death soldiers at home, specifically to carry out some shady under-the-table tasks for them.
Such as investigating, spying, assassination, and so on!
"What is that woman up to these days?"
"Reporting to Young Master, she has been going to the outskirts of the city. I went to check, and that place is the General Mansion’s farmland, all granted by the Emperor."
"Hah? Going to the farmland? Hahaha, brother, what is this? Marrying a country bumpkin really doesn’t change a thing, hahaha..."
When Chang Lexi heard that Long Yue was heading to the fields, she immediately burst into laughter, disregarding her noblewoman’s image and even uttered a curse.
Nobles like them would avoid going to the farmland, likely even distancing themselves at the sight of those tenants, with their sweat-laden smell, almost enough to knock someone out, making one want to block their nose.
Imagine that wretched woman, spending all her days with sweaty men, hahaha...
Chang Lexi laughed until her mouth couldn’t close, but Chang Yao frowned in displeasure, "Mind your image!"
"Brother, I’m minding, it’s just... too funny, she used to be the Capital City’s number one beauty!"
"Hmph, what beauty? Just self-flattery!"
Chang Yao had a look of disdain; in his eyes, Pang Shuangyue was the real beauty!
The guard in black was still kneeling on one knee on the ground, like a mud sculpture, not moving an inch.
Chang Yao looked at him, "Why did she go to the farmland?"
"Young Master, she was just talking to those tenants and telling them what to plant."
"That’s all?"
"Yes, Young Master, I dare not speak recklessly!"
Chang Yao frowned even more tightly, this woman going to the farmland was definitely not a matter of just casually checking the tenants’ work!
"Go, send someone to blend in, and see what exactly she plans to do!"
"Yes!"
...
East Suburb of Shengjing City, in a vast, endless stretch of farmland.
Peasants were busy in groups, turning over the soil in preparation for spring planting.
On the footpath, bags of seeds for this season’s crops were laid out.
A light blue, elegant carriage slowly approached and stopped by the footpath.
Behind it followed a freight wagon, loaded full with big burlap bags.
The curtain lifted, and a young woman in plain clothes leaped off the carriage; her posture was remarkably agile.
"Madam, please be careful not to fall!"
The driver was a guard from the General Mansion, loyal to Cao Yin, and naturally attentive to Long Yue as well.
The carriage was quite high, and after all, she was a lady. What if she twisted her ankle?
Long Yue accepted the guard’s concern with a smile and then walked over to the footpath.
She raised her hand and clapped loudly, calling out, "Everyone, stop for a moment! Put down your work and come over here!"
The peasants were busy working. Hearing this, they looked up in confusion towards the voice.
There stood a slender woman in a plain long dress with a fur cloak draped over it.
This is... a noble?
Why would a noble come to the footpath?
The peasants were bewildered, followed by a rush of apprehension. One by one, they put down their tools and cautiously made their way to the footpath’s edge.
