Chapter 257: Sacrifice One's Relatives for the Sake of Justice

Three million taels of silver were deposited into the treasury, and the Minister of Revenue was simply delighted. The entire court was amazed at the generosity of the Mu family. Only Yan Qing and Wen Jin knew the inside story and kept it a secret.

In the evening, Mu Dongli had dinner with Yan Qing. During the meal, the little girl asked nervously, "My third brother is an iceberg, cold all day long. He didn't treat His Majesty rudely, did he?"

"No." Yan Qing said gently, "He dare not, you can rest assured."

Mu Dongli breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.

However, Yan Qing's words "he dare not" still made her feel so domineering, "Sister Queen is the most domineering woman in the world, and can be regarded as a role model for women in the world."

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. If the Mu family really commits a crime in the future, no matter how much you flatter me, it will be useless."

Mu Dongli raised his hand and swore, "Sister Queen, don't worry. I will definitely watch my eldest brother, second brother and third brother. If they dare to do anything they shouldn't do, I will be the first to write a letter to impeach them."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Sacrifice relatives for the sake of justice?"

Mu Dongli nodded: "Yes, sacrifice relatives for the sake of justice."

Yan Qing laughed.

This little girl has always been very cute. Yan Qing was right. In the years in Suzaku City, she knew a group of stinky men. The only girl who had a little friendship with her was Dongli.

Back then, Dongli was curious because she heard that there was a princess who was exiled to Suzaku City in the court. That's why they met later.

As soon as they met, Yan Qing did not expect that she was not afraid of the saying of being a star of misfortune. Not only did she dare to approach her, but she also called her "beautiful sister" all the time. Later, she changed her words to "princess sister" and kept calling her like this.

That was because their friendship was pure and flawless. After all, no one could have expected in advance that a down-and-out princess exiled to Suzaku City would become the emperor in the future.

Dongli approached her out of curiosity and had no other purpose. Yan Qing was happy to have another simple and straightforward sister.

She also believed that the Mu family could teach such a daughter. She thought that the family style should be good overall and would not go too far... Well, it must be a little bit crooked, as long as it is not too outrageous.

Yan Qing looked at Mu Dongli who was eating and smiled lightly: "There is no need to kill relatives for the sake of justice. If there is such a day in the Mu family, I will know that your eldest brother deserves a beating without your impeachment."

Deserve a beating?

Mu Dongli blinked: "Big brother has never said this to him since he was a child."

"Your parents didn't say that either?"

"I don't think so." Dongli was not sure, "My father is quite dignified and usually doesn't threaten his son verbally. If his son makes a mistake, he will take action directly. Big brother has been trained as an heir since he was a child. I heard that he was very stable and methodical when he was young. I think it's rare to hear his father talk to him in this tone."

Yan Qing nodded.

The head of a large family must be stable and dignified, otherwise how can he convince others?

Yan Qing had no interest in discussing the affairs of the Mu family, but just asked casually. After dinner, Yan Qing asked someone to pack up the accommodation for Dongli, "Stay in the palace for one night, and leave the palace with Wen Jin tomorrow."

Dongli was surprised: "Going out with the emperor?"

Yan Qing nodded: "He still has some things to talk to your two brothers, and he will send you out by the way."

Dongling said.

The episode of the Mu family only lasted one or two days, and there was nothing worth worrying about during this busy period.

The next day, Wen Jin left the palace.

This was also the first time that the emperor left the palace after Yan Qing ascended the throne. He met with the Mu brothers in a bank in the imperial city to discuss things. They talked for half a day before leaving.

After leaving the bank, he went back to the Wen Mansion.

This house was once lived in by a general of the previous dynasty. Later, Wen Jin became the chief minister. The late emperor specially ordered the Ministry of Rites to renovate the house and then gave it to Wen Jin.

The house has beautiful scenery and is full of vitality. In such a late autumn season, it does not seem bleak at all.

The maids in the house are still doing their own things in an orderly manner. When the master is not there, they can occasionally be lazy, but they dare not slack off in what they should do. After all, although the master is not there, the housekeeper in the house still maintains a strict attitude.

Besides, their family's chief minister has become the empress's palace, and the palace should be kept beautiful and quiet every day, fresh and clean everywhere. What if Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Imperial Consort feel like going back to the palace one day?

Wen Jin walked through the front yard, ignoring the maid who was surprised by his sudden return and knelt down to salute, and arrived at the study in the main courtyard alone. The guards outside the study knelt on one knee and saluted silently.

Pushing open the door of the study, Wen Jin stood quietly for a moment, then stepped over the threshold. He walked to the front of the bookshelf, reached out and turned a mechanism, and heard a dull sound slowly.

The bookshelf in front of him slowly moved to the side, revealing a secret door that only allowed one person to pass through.
