The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2099 - 2101: (Revised)

The Lord Governor of the Capital Prefecture furiously cursed, could it be that all twenty or thirty bailiffs in the governmental office were blind?

Even if the bailiffs were blind, could it be that the dozens of servants in the Prime Minister’s Mansion were also blind?

But regardless of how things were, the Prime Minister would not admit it. Seeing this, Baili Yan had no choice but to summon two servants from the Prime Minister’s Mansion and two bailiffs from the governmental office to question them in court.

After the questioning, the results were naturally as the Imperial Censor had reported.

Baili Yan was furious on the spot. Usually, the ministers might bicker with each other, and even if some went too far, he thought it was not a big deal. No one is perfect after all; everyone has some flaws. But he never expected that among this group of important ministers, there would be someone of such corrupt character.

The Prime Minister was dismissed on the spot and was banned from holding office for the rest of his life. His entire clan was exiled back to their native place and prohibited from entering the Capital City during this dynasty.

Everyone knew that the Prime Minister’s scandal was just a catalyst, the Emperor had long wanted to abolish the position of Prime Minister.

Such an outcome was considered normal.

Moreover, even if the Emperor didn’t order their exile, the people from the Prime Minister’s Mansion would have no face to stay in the Capital City, it was simply too disgraceful.

The Imperial Censor made his accusations in the court, and with so many people in the court, no one would hide things for the Prime Minister. Shortly after the morning court, within half a day, the matter spread throughout the noble circles of the Capital City.

If they remained in the Capital City, none of the respectable families would continue to associate with them.

Understanding this, the people from the Prime Minister’s Mansion began packing their belongings that very day, preparing to leave the next day.

On the night before their departure, the Eldest Young Master of the Shen family, accompanied by two people and holding a cup of wine, went to see the woman who had brought calamity upon his entire family.

After such an event, he would never allow such a woman to live in his house again.

One cup of wine later, the young miss of the Prime Minister’s Mansion went to meet the King of Hell once and for all. After learning the truth, Eldest Young Master Shen didn’t even prepare a small mound for her, he directly ordered two people to throw her into the mass grave.

The next morning, Eldest Young Master Shen first went to the governmental office to see Madam of Prime Minister, then returned to take the family members of the Prime Minister’s Mansion away amid people’s pointing and whispers.

"If I were the Prime Minister, I would have submitted a letter of resignation," Yang Chuxia said, "If he had resigned before the Imperial Censor’s accusations, he could have at least maintained some dignity."

"He couldn’t bear to leave the position of Prime Minister," Ye Zi’an supported his chin with his hand, drinking tea leisurely, the affairs of the Prime Minister’s Mansion not affecting him at all.

"Master!" His servant Li Wen came in, "Master, Lord Governor asked me to tell you that Madam of Prime Minister has committed suicide."

"She committed suicide?" Yang Chuxia was taken aback, "When did this happen?"

"Two hours ago!" Li Wen said, "She ran into a wall and died on the spot."

"Perhaps her elder son told her the truth, and unable to bear it, she committed suicide."

Now Yang Chuxia also knew the origins of that young miss. To be honest, she began to sympathize with Madam of Prime Minister. Being forced to treat a rival as a daughter was bad enough, yet she had to find a good marriage alliance for a rival as well. Ultimately, for the sake of a rival, she not only ended up imprisoned, but her descendants were also impacted, tsk!

Ye Zi’an said, "Dying puts an end to it all, better than living."

The events at the Prime Minister’s Mansion over the recent days spread like wildfire, and the Luo Family naturally received the news.

First Madam Luo was restless.

She had a constant feeling that the matters of the Prime Minister’s household couldn’t be unrelated to Prince An’s Mansion.
