After Transmigration, Her Whole Family Are Villains

If you want to talk about suffering,

Don't cry endlessly.

Smile instead.

...

"Court dismissed! Court dismissed! Court dismissed!"

The shrill voice of the Ceremonial Eunuch ended today's morning court session.

It was like a school bell ringing.

The officials poured out in an orderly fashion like a tide.

Leaving early had no good outcome.

For example, Lord Wang from the last court session was dragged out by the Emperor's men before others had even left.

Like Minister Lu this time.

Before others had left, he was taken away by the Imperial Doctor and guards.

Each court session actually took quite a toll.

The Emperor held court every ten days, and officials concentrated on handling major affairs.

Something always happened at court.

It's a pity there were no newspapers.

Otherwise, if they published a newspaper after each court session, it would surely sell well.

Inspector He took on the task, Vice Minister Jiang was "released on bail pending trial", not needing to be detained, just cooperating with the investigation and awaiting results.

But everyone already felt it was settled.

One by one, they looked at Meng Qingshe and Minister Dong with different eyes.

This Meng Qingshe really was blessed for life.

Leeching off the old above and the young below, a lifetime of blessings he couldn't use up.

When others were bullied, it was beating the little one to get to the big one.

When he was bullied, the old one came and then the young one came.

Having a successful father to rely on was one thing, but now his son casually went out of the city and married a girl who turned out to be Princess Huiyun's own granddaughter - what incredible luck.

No wonder it was said his wife was a Daji reborn, she was Princess Huiyun's granddaughter after all, surpassing her predecessor.

Tsk tsk.

Even more fortunate was Minister Dong.

Who would have thought that Minister Dong's daughter, whose engagement had been called off, would be able to choose the most valuable golden bachelor in the capital right now.

Usually, royal clan members were betrothed early on.

Although royal clan members had noble status, they didn't amount to much.

But the royal clan members were mostly taken internally, even if you wanted to climb the social ladder, you couldn't reach it.

Even Heir Apparent Han with such terrible character had people lining up to meet him for marriage, with many wanting to marry him.

Yet Minister Dong actually managed to snag such a good match for his daughter whose engagement had been called off.

Boo hoo, who said old Dong was upright and only knew how to do carpentry? This was extremely cunning.

Who said the He clan was incorruptible and couldn't be won over? They had long ago accepted the Jiang family's young daughter as a closed-door disciple.

Bah, shameless.

A certain Minister Liu had a bitter expression. He was the one who had added the charge of conniving at his wife and children's bullying against Vice Minister Jiang.

The reason was that Vice Minister Jiang's daughter used the He Family's name to deceive and swindle money from his younger son.

┭┮﹏┭┮, now it all made sense.

Vice Minister Jiang's young daughter was Inspector He's closed-door disciple, so she could say she was from the He Family.

More importantly, she was Princess Huiyun's own granddaughter. Her asking for a few hundred taels in silver notes from you wasn't fraud - it was her looking favorably upon you.

How unfair, how unfair. Having a good-for-nothing son implicated the whole family.

It seemed Vice Minister Liu had it worst.

He had a bewildered look on his face now.

Just yesterday he was leading his son to snatch someone's bride.

How brazen of him, trying to snatch the person Princess Huiyun's grandson had his eye on.

His son even looked down on that girl, but now that girl was going to marry Princess Huiyun's eldest grandson.

Because of his son, he had put in great effort to offend both the second son of Jiang family and Minister Dong.

Running around making trouble, it was all over now, completely over.

Just as court was dismissed, Inspector He had given him a look, that look...

He felt a chill run up his spine all the way to the top of his head.

Some were happy, some were worried.

Some were envious, some were shocked.

...

After court was dismissed.

Princess Huiyun led her own son, granddaughter and grandson back to the imperial palace in grand style.

The Emperor felt somewhat uneasy.

But thinking about it, he came to his senses.

No wonder he always felt rather close when looking at the second son of Jiang family.

Mother and son standing together did look quite alike.

It's just that his memories of Huiyun were somewhat evasive, he dared not easily recall them. Thinking about it would cause insomnia, leading him to not recognize the second son of Jiang family.

However, even if he didn't recognize the second son of Jiang family, looking at the little girl beside him, he could tell at a glance.

Because that little girl looked exactly like Huiyun when she was young.

Her expressions and mannerisms were extremely similar.

There was no need for a blood test to prove kinship, anyone with eyes could see the family resemblance.

As for Jiang Feng, although he had just been granted the sixth-rank position of imperial guard, a very minor official position, it wasn't considered mistreatment.

At least there was no mistreatment on the spot.

The Emperor looked at Jiang Feng's face, saw the scars on it, and felt a bit uneasy in his heart, inexplicably uncomfortable.

But he preferred Jiang Feng's appearance.

For some reason, knowing the second son of Jiang family was Huiyun's son, he inexplicably disliked him.

Perhaps because the second son of Jiang family looked more like that person.

The Emperor deeply despised Jingjue.

Many years had passed amidst the tumult.

The brilliantly talented Buddhist disciple of those years should have died on the road to seeking scriptures in foreign lands by now.

Actually, back then he had asked Jingjue if he was willing to marry Huiyun.

Jingjue didn't respond, so he found an Imperial Son-in-law for Huiyun.

But the events of those years, a mistake was a mistake.

The Emperor felt a bit guilty.

This morning he was still going to punish the second son of Jiang family.

And it seemed it didn't actually have much to do with the second son of Jiang family, he just couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

Watching his officials fight amongst themselves was also one of the Emperor's pleasures.

Victory and defeat were common in battle, and fighting it out was also for his service.

Seeing his sister's angry expression now, fortunately the sword on her body had already been picked up and put away by a quick-witted eunuch.

The Emperor hesitated for a long while.

His first words were: "It's really cold today, huh."

Princess Huiyun puffed up her cheeks and said: "Not as cold as my heart. The child I finally found was almost killed by you, his own uncle."

The Emperor rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty.

Today, Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Duan were accompanying the Emperor.

Eunuch Liu felt remorseful inside, he had almost offended Lord Jiang by trying to help Minister Lu.

Carefully recalling his past actions, he shouldn't have offended him too badly.

He hadn't done anything too obvious.

It was over before he had a chance to do anything.

Sending a big gift later might not be enough to make amends.

He would have to painfully give up the benefits he had accumulated over the years.

If he didn't give them up now, he wouldn't have the chance to later.

Eunuch Duan was happy inside, thinking how lucky he was.

He had finally gotten an assignment outside the palace, never expecting it would be to Lord Jiang's home, establishing good relations early on.

Who would have thought Lord Jiang had such a background.

He really did have the god of wealth on his left shoulder and Guan Gong on his right, blessed with good fortune.

Mianmian followed into the palace.

It was her first time entering the imperial palace.

She was somewhat excited.

No need to buy tickets.

Direct entry.

Grandpa Emperor looked very majestic in his elaborate clothes, quite tall, but a bit old. His figure was still good, very straight, not hunched or with raised shoulders.

He had a large frame, but was rather thin.

The imperial crown looked very heavy. If it was solid gold, it would easily cause headaches. Wearing something so heavy every day would put too much pressure on the head.

Making it hollow would be better.

Looking at the dragon robe, it was dazzlingly golden. She didn't know if it was pure gold.

If it was all pure gold, the clothes would certainly be very heavy.

No wonder the Emperor didn't like holding court, just putting on this uniform must be quite tiring.

The Emperor walked in front.

He kept feeling an itch on his back.

Someone was staring at him.

In this world, no one dared to stare at him.

He couldn't help turning his head.

Then he saw a silly, innocent face staring at him blankly.

He turned his head, but she didn't hide.

He tried to look stern.

Usually just frowning or glaring would make the concubines, eunuchs and palace maids in front of him kneel down.

He felt uncomfortable being stared at and glared a bit.

He saw the little one curiously look back, saw nothing, then turn her face back.

The little one sweetly called out: "Grand Uncle, what are you looking at?"

The Emperor uncomfortably turned his neck back.

She called me Grand Uncle?

He felt a warm current spreading from his heart.

The little one who looked exactly like Huiyun, appearing after several decades, calling him Grand Uncle.

Time flowed backwards, flowing into the shape of a heart, finally falling onto the tip of his heart.

The Emperor's footsteps slowed down a bit.
