Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1762: Chapter 1763: Sanctimonious

”King, calm down! Minister Shen and his lady have never said such things. I hope the King discerns the truth!” Minister Shen said, his face pale, continuously kowtowing towards Xiao Changyi.

The Young Master Shen was so frightened that he couldn’t utter a single word.

An Jing sneered coldly, ”Your son said he heard it from you and your wife, clearly you often gossip about the Commandery Princess.”

”Queen, my wife and I are innocent! We are wronged...”

”Won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. Come, summon the Eldest Prince of the Royal Family.” It was evident that An Jing was also very angry.

This old fox was too clever for his own good. If he hadn’t arrogantly come to plead guilty, perhaps they wouldn’t have known, but now they do, how could they let it go?

”Yes.” Qin Yi immediately went to the Wang Family to bring Wang Haomiao.

As soon as An Jing saw Wang Haomiao, she asked him why An Yiqing had beaten the Young Master Shen. Wang Haomiao explained truthfully, exactly as An Yiqing had said, which made Xiao Changyi even more furious.

This bullying had reached him personally!

An Jing sneered repeatedly, ”You hold a high position, yet behave so hypocritically; your actions are truly disgraceful!”

Xiao Changyi spoke decisively, ”Unworthy conduct, remove him from the position of Minister of Revenue, and imprison him along with his wife and youngest son in the Sky Prison, to be judged under Xiyun law for insulting the Royal Princess.”

Minister Shen immediately began to plead.

Nevertheless, he was forcibly taken to the Sky Prison by Qin Yi and his men.

Although the matter was resolved, Tobanya’s wound in her heart was torn open again, she was truly distressed, but she didn’t want everyone to see her upset, so she quickly wiped her tears, pretending to be unperturbed.

Meng Zhuqing felt even worse seeing his wife like this.

An Jing couldn’t bear to see Tobanya forcing a smile, so she had Tobanya return to her quarters, and also sent Meng Zhuqing back, mainly to accompany Tobanya.

Seeing Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya leave, Xiao Changyi pulled the teary-eyed and aggrieved An Yiqing into his arms, sighed softly, and then apologized, ”It’s father’s fault, will you forgive me?”

An Yiqing pressed his lips tightly, saying nothing.

An Jing also walked over, helping to explain, ”Qinger, think about it, has your father ever really hit you from childhood? He only said that to make you reveal the truth.”

After considering, An Yiqing agreed and finally looked at Xiao Changyi, apologizing, ”I’m sorry, Father.”

Xiao Changyi shook his head slightly, saying, ”You’ve done nothing wrong; it was my mistake.”

After a pause, Xiao Changyi continued, ”We are very pleased that you protect your godmother so well.”

An Jing was also very gratified, ”Our Qinger has truly grown up.”

”Indeed!” An Yiqing’s conflict was resolved, no longer resenting his father, and he became cheerful. ”I must protect my parents, my godfather and godmother, and my four younger brothers!”

Seeing An Yiqing like this, An Jing, knowing he was okay, couldn’t help but laugh, ”What about your eldest and second brothers? You don’t protect them?”

”Eldest and second brothers will protect me, I don’t need to protect them,” An Yiqing replied matter-of-factly.

An Jing found it amusing, ”Your eldest brother carries a much heavier burden than you all. No one protects him; he protects everyone.”

”Well, he’s the eldest brother! If I were the eldest, I’d do the same!” An Yiqing said, not feeling anything was wrong.
