Chapter 235 Good Things Happen

The word "Congratulations" made He Shilin return to the name of a candidate.

If he was really a capable person, he would have made it to the Dragon Gate, Shang Ji knew this very well.

The court dispute had just ended, and something happened to the Jin family.

The people of the Law and Order Department would not easily let go of such a good opportunity to be appreciated in front of the prince, so they led people to rush into the Jin family.

The housekeeper wanted to stop them, but the other party was holding the royal token in his hand, so he was powerless even if he wanted to, and could only watch them drag the sleeping Jin family boy away.

When he left, he hadn't put on his inner clothes yet. Although it was February, it was still cold in the morning and evening, and he was shivering with cold in a short while.

He shouted "unfair".

But whether it was unfair or not was up to the people of the Law and Order Department.

Seeing the situation like this, everyone in the Jin family was filled with anger and wanted to seek justice for their brother. However, after they gathered their people and were about to go out, they were blocked at the door by the Minister of Jin who had just returned.

His eyes narrowed, revealing some murderous intent.

"What are you going to do?"

"Father, my brother was taken away by the people of the Law Department for no reason, and they didn't tell us the reason at all. Isn't this a blatant kidnapping? I'm going to ask for an explanation!"

Hearing his son's answer, the Minister of Jin, oh no, the Left Assistant Minister of Jin, looked even uglier, and slapped the leader with his hand, making his head buzz.

"Ask for an explanation? It's useless to keep such a rebellious son who harms the family. Get out of here! Don't you think our Jin family is not implicated enough?"

His words shocked everyone present.

After all, they knew that the young man of the Jin family failed to raise funds, but they didn't know that they had forced the Du family to death.

So after seeing his father's ugly face, he dared not do it again.

And this was just the beginning of the Jin family's misfortune.

After being demoted to the left assistant minister, Master Jin fell ill. This illness was so severe that he couldn't even get out of bed. Under his strong control, the people of the Jin family closed the door and refused to see visitors.

Poor Jin's young man, he had whip wounds from his father's beating and chest injuries from kicking. After entering the door of the Law Department, he was beaten to a pulp.

So he bit whoever he was asked to bite.

In the end, it also eliminated many of the forces that the fourth prince had just built up, causing panic in the court.

Many officials who were a little hesitant before stood by the prince after this incident. The situation of one rising and the other falling suppressed the fourth prince very passively.

In this situation of panic, the General's Mansion welcomed an especially lively happy event, that is, the eighth daughter of the Shang family, Xue Niang's coming-of-age banquet.

If Wei Jialian's coming-of-age banquet a month ago was already outstanding enough, then Shang Xue Niang's coming-of-age banquet at this moment was completely a reason for the prince's party to celebrate, so it was even more precious.

The General's Mansion was full of guests, and the lights and decorations were particularly lively.

Everyone had a smile on their face, but today they swept away the coldness of winter and filled the air with the relaxation of spring.

In the front hall, Shang Ji, Du Jingyi and the family members all had bright eyes and dressed appropriately.

He is now the prince's capable minister, and everyone who sees him doesn't want to compliment him.

In addition, Du Jingyi next to him was also the same. He became a person that the noble ladies competed to socialize with, so there were many people around the couple.

Sister-in-law Liu was unusually good at dancing today. Perhaps it was because the shop had made some progress and prospects recently, so she was in a good mood.

In addition, it was Xue Niang's business, so she was naturally very worried.

Seeing that she had regained the mistress's spirit many years ago, Shang Ji and his wife were also happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Shang Zhiping followed Xing Zhao closely. Since he met Yan Sanlang last time, they have become closer.

In addition, Xing Zhao and Yan Sanlang are both outgoing and active, so Shang Zhiping would occasionally make some harmless jokes, which made him look like a teenager.

Although he is not yet at the point of being full of vigor and vitality, he has made rapid progress compared to last year.

However, although Yan Sanlang said this to Xing Zhao and Shang Zhiping, his eyes always drifted to Gu Xiaolang not far away. He has not spoken to this favorite lady since he entered the door today.

Unfortunately, the King of Xiang had a dream, but the goddess was ruthless.

Although Gu Xiaolang's eyes were missing her cousin Shao Yu, there would not be another Yan Sanlang, so she just talked and laughed with the familiar sisters.

She did not notice the hot eyes here, but the people who came to the Duke's Mansion today were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it.

If possible, Shang Ji would not even send an invitation to the Duke's Mansion for Xue Niang's coming-of-age banquet.

But this Duke Shang Yukuan is Xue Niang's father, so it is not appropriate not to be present. Madam Wei and Silang's family and Qilang also followed in with great interest.

After a year, they finally entered the gate of the general's mansion.

And the more they saw, the more dissatisfied they were in their hearts.

Why can he live a superior life because they are all descendants of the Shang family, and although they "monopolize" the Duke's Mansion, there is no change from the past, and they still live in the West Garden.

There was still some genuine congratulations on Shang Qillang's face, but as for the rest, it was good enough that he didn't curse secretly behind his back.

The Duke Shang Yukuan smiled very reluctantly today.

Even if he was slow-witted, he knew that the general's mansion did not welcome him, especially when he brought his family to pay respects to Madam Gu just now, the snort was obvious.

Then, Madam Gu turned around and walked away without saying a word.

He knew in his heart that if it were not for the lively occasion today, she would have squeezed him again. The reason why he could still endure it now was just for the face of Xue Niang and Liu Lang.

Therefore, he did not want to get close to them.

What surprised him was that Shang Sanlang appeared at the table today.

Although there was no one else in the third room except him, it was really puzzling that he would come, or that he could come in.

Seeing them standing awkwardly, Shang Sanlang was natural and came over to say hello.

"Meet the great uncle, meet the great aunt, fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, seventh brother."

Shang Yi's brothers and sisters basically grew up together. Although they belong to different families, there is nothing wrong with addressing them this way.

And Shang Sanlang is also considered to be a more ambitious person among the brothers, so they will not deliberately make things difficult for him.
