The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1271 Anger

"How dare you, how dare you, bully me like this?!"

Being pointed at by Sheng Yuan and called a pug, Shu was so angry that her face flushed and her whole body was shaking.

Even during the most difficult times of her childhood, no one in the clan mocked her like this.

"Even if you are a second-rank official, the court's laws and the moral principles of the world cannot allow you to slander and defame my eldest sister-in-law! If the censors hear of this, you will definitely be impeached!"

"Impeachment?! All right! Look, the gate is over there, just go ahead and file a complaint!" Sheng Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and told his personal guards to make way for the Shu family's master and servants to go out and file a complaint.

It's really a joke, and she is still suffering from impeachment?! The Censorate impeached her one after another. If she didn't impeach her at a grand court meeting, it would be like her work was not completed.

How could she be afraid of impeachment?! I just don't know if she will be the first to be annoyed by the impeachment, or if her elder brother will ask the court to question her for not managing the family properly. By then, I don't know if the title of the Crown Prince's wife that the Shu family is so proud of can be kept!

Sheng Yuan gave way here, like a general on a chessboard, and pinned Shu in place, leaving her unable to move forward or backward, and she could only gasp for air.

"Madam!" Yun Jing thought clearly, fearing that her master would lose her temper and fall into the other party's trap, she hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Please think about the two gentlemen!"

"..." Thinking of her two sons, Shu Shi had to endure the frustration.

She tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened, took a few steps to the side, took a deep breath, and then sneered at Sheng Yuan in a hoarse voice: "Minister Sheng was still a little slow. Duke Sheng was summoned by the cabinet half an hour ago and went to the palace!"

Cabinet? Enter the palace?

After hearing this message, Sheng Yuan quickly locked onto these two key pieces of information and felt something was wrong.

Although she didn't think Shu had any reason to lie, she still asked her guards to search the nursing home thoroughly.

Shu looked at the teams that returned empty-handed and immediately smiled in relief: "Minister Sheng, do you want to turn the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion upside down so that we can see your power?" Sheng Yuan glanced at her and nodded: "Okay! I'll listen to you! Someone, arrest them first, and then send someone to patrol Zhengyuan Hall! Don't let anyone go inside and outside!"

She pointed at the troops left behind by Sheng Xiangya and ordered them to disarm and control them, while not forgetting to disgust the Shu family.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Shu immediately became furious: "You are going to rob your own house!"

"Please don't misunderstand me. I only searched Zhengyuan Hall. It can't be considered as searching my own residence." After saying that, Sheng Yuan specifically raised his voice to instruct his personal guards, "Search carefully and don't miss any clues!"

"You..." Shu's fingers trembled with anger. She was about to rush over to argue with Sheng Yuan, but Yun Jing persuaded her to stop.

At this juncture, An Yu hurried back and told Sheng Yuan, "Dad, Mom, and Big Brother are all fine, but Dad was knocked unconscious by Uncle, and his shoulders and neck are not feeling well. The court doctor just gave him a massage and prescribed some medicine, which Big Brother and I coaxed him into taking, and he's fallen asleep again now."

"Well, then you watch here first, I'll go over and take a look." Sheng Yuan was very surprised by her father's reaction as she listened to An Yu's narration. This kind of calm and steady attitude was not like the old man's temper!

"Yuan Jie'er, wait a minute..." An Yu grabbed Sheng Yuan's arm, led her aside, and whispered, "When our father opened his eyes and saw our eldest brother, he got angry and almost fainted. The court doctor just told us not to get him excited again in the short term. If you go over there and our father hears the noise, I'm afraid he won't be able to rest easy. Let's wait a little longer!"

"…Is it really nothing serious?!" Sheng Yuan paused, worried about her mother, "What about the old lady?"

"It's all fine. He just got frightened earlier, and now he's a little tired after being nervous and relaxed... He just took the tranquilizing soup prescribed by the court doctor, and now he's going back to his room to rest."

"Well, then..." Sheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a bell ringing from far away outside the courtyard. From the direction of the bell, it turned out to be the direction of the imperial palace.

Suddenly, everyone's expression changed.
