Chapter 1226 Meeting Minghe
As soon as Su Yueyao finished speaking, Gongyang Ruoyu's face stiffened, and she immediately begged for forgiveness, "My lady, I was wrong. I was just joking to make you less nervous and to make you smile. My lady... I've missed you so much after not seeing you for a month!...My lady..."
"Ha! Then think about it!"
"My wife..."
Seeing Gongyang's anxious expression, Cui Yiyang and Pu An thought to themselves that he deserved it. The wife had already told them that she didn't want to marry anyone else. Even Feng Qi, who was currently in their backyard, might not be someone the wife would marry, let alone anyone else.
He even dared to joke about this with his wife; he's incredibly carefree.
Cui Yiyang and Pu An silently pushed the ram to the back, standing on either side of Su Yueyao.
Su Yueyao didn't want to pay attention to Gongyang Ruoyu, so she directly asked Cui Yiyang, who was standing next to her, "Yiyang, after we leave the palace, tell our people to focus their investigation on those powerful families who are not His Majesty's faction."
"This matter has nothing to do with His Majesty's faction, so it can only be those old, powerful families!"
"Yes, my wife, I understand."
The four left the palace. Cui Yiyang went to make arrangements, while Pu An and Gongyang Ruoyu accompanied Su Yueyao onto the carriage and headed straight for the Ministry of Justice prison.
Along the way, Gongyang Ruoyu tried to coax Su Yueyao with a smile, but Su Yueyao ignored him.
"My wife..."
“Gongyang, the mistress has already said that you are punished by not being able to serve her for the next month. You can take this opportunity to record the ministers in the court who impeach the mistress. Also, I will not be going to the Censorate for the time being, but will help the mistress investigate the case.”
“You take care of my work and the affairs of the morning court yourself,” Pu An said directly.
“Puyasu! You...”
“I think Urayasu made a good arrangement, and Ram will do as Urayasu says.”
“My lady… I also want to help you investigate the counterfeit currency case. The counterfeit currency case can almost be classified as a frame-up. My lady has already ruled out the aristocratic families in His Majesty's faction, which leaves some aristocratic families that have no connection with us. We can directly investigate those aristocratic families whose ancestral home has copper mines or who have withdrawn large amounts of silver.”
"So after the wife's analysis, the people have been almost identified: the Li family, who have had conflicts with us, the Yang family (the lord's maternal family), the Xie family, the Xiao family, and so on."
“Gongyang, these aristocratic families are not prominent now. They have all suffered heavy losses because of their wives. The counterfeit money case involved a lot of money. Do they have the ability to do this?” Pu An said.
“What if they come together? We’ve dealt with these powerful families before, but for various reasons we didn’t wipe them out completely. A family’s foundation isn’t built overnight,” Gongyang Ruoyu retorted.
Pu An pondered Gongyang Ruoyu's words. Gongyang's words made sense; it was possible for powerful clans to maintain their strength.
After all, if Minghe and the Xu family were to commit counterfeit currency fraud this time, they themselves would be in danger, and the wife would also be implicated. The Xu family's power would be taken back, and the Lin family, Nanfeng, and their families would be the first to suffer.
After listening to their conversation, Su Yueyao said, "Have someone investigate these companies thoroughly!"
"Don't worry, my lady. I can think of it, and I'm sure Cui Cejun and the others can too. They should have already arranged for people to investigate, so the results will be out soon. Minghe will be fine!" Gongyang Ruoyu said with a smile.
Su Yueyao looked at Gongyang Ruoyu's smiling face and said, "Gongyang is so smart! You should pay more attention to the affairs of the court. You're so busy, so don't come to the main courtyard to see me!"
Gongyang Ruoyu's smile froze completely upon hearing Su Yueyao's words. Why was his wife still thinking about this?
"My lady...please forgive me, okay? I swear I'll never joke about you marrying a man again, okay?"
"My wife..."
Su Yueyao did not relent despite Gongyang Ruoyu's pleas for mercy, nor did she tell him not to believe her. She truly had no intention of marrying her husband again!
snort!
"My wife..."
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice has arrived!"
"Let's go! Let's go see Minghe."
Gongyang Ruoyu followed behind Su Yueyao and Pu An, looking dejected and disappointed. The thought of not seeing his wife for the next month made him feel terrible!
"Gongyang, don't be sad. In a month, my wife will be out of confinement, and the children's one-month celebration will be over. My wife will be fine now, and she'll probably be giving birth to your children soon!"
"We won't fight you for it then, my lady!"
Gongyang Ruoyu glared at Pu An. How come he found that Pu An was becoming more and more annoying?
Su Yueyao got off the carriage and looked at the tall gate of the Ministry of Justice. The guards standing at the gate had a strong and solemn aura. She did not hear Pu An and Gongyang Ruoyu's whispers.
Pu An got out of the carriage, walked up to the guard, took out his token and said, "Grand Tutor Su, I have come to see the imprisoned Young Master Xu by His Majesty's decree."
Upon seeing the token, the guard immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Grand Tutor Su. Please, I will go and inform the Minister immediately."
"Okay, thank you."
Su Yueyao followed another guard toward the Ministry of Justice.
There were only patrolling guards in the courtyard, and they all bowed to Su Yueyao when they saw her.
Before we even reached the front yard, two or three people walked up to us, led by a man dressed in the official robes of the Ministry of Justice.
The man was handsome, tall and upright, with a somber expression and sharp eyes, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
"Your humble servant, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, greets Grand Tutor Su." The man bowed respectfully to Su Yueyao.
Su Yueyao looked at the somewhat imposing man in front of her. He seemed somewhat familiar, and she thought she must have seen him before. He seemed to be from the Wenren family. He was the man Gongyang had mentioned who wanted to enter her backyard.
"Minister Wenren, there's no need for such formalities. I would like to see my husband, Madam Xu. Could you please grant me this request?"
"Of course, please."
Su Yueyao was surprised that he would personally lead the way, and immediately said, "Minister Wenren, you must have official duties to attend to. There is no need for you to lead the way personally. Your guards will suffice."
"Grand Tutor Su, Young Master Xu is currently a suspect in a serious case. Without His Majesty's decree, you cannot see him. Please, let me lead the way!"
Su Yueyao thought for a moment and realized she couldn't refuse, so she didn't say anything more and silently followed him toward the prison.
"Then... I'll have to trouble you!"
"You're too kind, Grand Tutor Su."
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group arrived at the entrance of a prison.
"Grand Tutor Su, Lord Pu and Lord Gongyang will be waiting at the door for a while."
Pu An and Gongyang Ruoyu also knew they couldn't get in. Pu An pulled Su Yueyao's cloak tighter and gave her instructions.
“My lady, Gongyang and I are waiting for you outside. There’s some blood in there. If you see Minghe, come out quickly.”
"Yes, my lady, His Majesty has said that he will not torture Minghe. He will be fine. My lady is still in confinement and should take care of herself."
