After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 67 Shen Zhiyi, why are you meddling in this?

Some people seem to think that just talking without taking action isn't enough, so they even start fighting.

[Wow! I'm hooked! I'm hooked!]

Shen Zhiyi was so excited that she wanted to pull out a light stick right then and there.

She patted Zhang Sheren next to her, but to her surprise, she found no one there.

I turned around, and the person was gone.

"Eh?"

[Holy crap, when did Zhang Sheren rush out and get involved too?!]

Shen Zhiyi was greatly shocked and eager to try.

When the old emperor turned around, he saw that Shen Zhiyi had already rolled up her sleeves and was ready to rush in.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."

The old emperor quickly stopped Shen Zhiyi, who wanted to join in the fun, and pointed at the group of people who were fighting: "Why are you meddling in this?"

Shen Zhiyi said indignantly, "Your Majesty, I once admired him so much, but I never expected that his excellent writing was actually written by someone else. This makes me extremely angry."

The old emperor: ……

Everyone: How come they didn't know!

"Alright, alright, stop it. You're not little kids anymore. Don't make things more ridiculous."

With the old emperor's intervention, the Imperial Academy Chancellor, who had been beaten for a full half hour, was now weeping.

Your Majesty, why didn't you step in sooner?

[Hahahaha, who is this old pig-headed guy? Oh my, there's not a single good piece of meat on his body.]

The Chancellor of the Imperial Academy felt like crying even more.

It's all that damned Shen Zhiyi's fault.

Hey, why is this old guy staring at me like that?

Shen Zhiyi touched her arm and hid behind the old emperor, avoiding the venomous gaze of the Imperial Academy Chancellor.

[It wasn't me who exposed you. There's a reason for this; go find your son.]

The Imperial Academy Chancellor was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

The old emperor sneered, left two words, and departed with his men.

"Killed by force."

Chancellor of the Imperial Academy: ? ? ?

"Your Majesty, my crime does not warrant death!"

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy was about to arrive, the court officials, still seething with anger, took the initiative to attack before the Dragon Scale Guards could even make a move.

"Hypocrite, you deserve a beating."

"Give me back all the tears I've shed over the years!"

"You dared to glare at Shen Lang? I'll beat you up."

"Ouch!" The Chancellor of the Imperial Academy clutched his head and squatted down, saying, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

The official in charge of the Ministry of Works trembled for a moment, then slowly raised his right hand, only to have it forcibly pressed down by Liu Shi beside him.

"If you still want to be my son, then you're not allowed to stop me."

"Mother?" The official from the Ministry of Works' eyes lit up. "You still want me?"

"I've raised you for so many years, do you think I'm stupid to just abandon you like that?"

Having endured nearly her entire life of resentment, Liu Shi no longer speaks in her usual soft and gentle voice.

She put her hand on the shoulder of the Ministry of Works official and walked toward the village chief.

The other person was still in a daze, standing there scratching the back of their head, looking somewhat at a loss.

"child."

Village Chief: "Ah? Madam, are you calling me?"

"My child, I am your own mother."

The village chief's eyes widened, and he laughed out loud because he couldn't believe it: "Madam, you're joking. My mother passed away many years ago."

The Ministry of Works official said, "Your mother, who passed away many years ago, should be my biological mother."

The village chief felt like he was starting to get a brain.

"Wait a minute, so the mistress of that high-ranking official you were talking about earlier is my mother."

“Strictly speaking, that’s my mother, but your real mother is your biological mother.”

With hopeful eyes, Liu looked at the village chief and said excitedly, "Child, you have suffered all these years. Has that family treated you well?"

Before the village chief could answer, Liu muttered to herself, "That must be bad. I heard you were beaten since you were little and never had enough to eat."

The village chief chuckled and said, "You misunderstand. My mother may have been unkind to me at first, but she changed for the better later. She used to beat me because she disliked me, but later she beat me because I was too naughty and did a lot of things that gave her a headache. As for not having enough to eat, it's because I have a much larger appetite than most people. My mother always eats very little, and the rest all goes into my stomach."

"Uh, so the Peng family you were talking about earlier is actually my mother?"

Ministry of Works Assistant: His brother seems to be a little slow on the uptake.

Seeing the two nodding, the village chief's eyes reddened.

"You killed my mother, I'm going to kill you."

With a shout, the village chief rushed in.

Perhaps because he had been farming for many years, he was incredibly angry and quickly ousted all the other indignant officials.

"what!"

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

The entire court of officials exclaimed: "What immense strength! He shattered all the teeth with a single punch!"

The Dragon Scale Guards kept a close watch, and only when they saw the man was about to be killed did they step forward and pull him away.

The Imperial Academy Chancellor never imagined that one day he would feel that the Dragon Scale Guards were like gods descended from heaven.

But soon, he stopped feeling that way.

"You think you can bring yourself to kill Shen Lang?"

The Dragonscale Guard's eyes were indifferent, as if the words he had just whispered were not his own.

The chief priest finally understood why he had brought about his own demise.

Is it too late for him to click "undo" now?

The Ministry of Works official also stepped forward to stop his brother.

"This man has already been executed by imperial decree, which is already avenging our mother."

The village chief immediately burst into tears.

But the matter of the Imperial Academy Chancellor was not yet over.

Soon the entire capital city knew that the chief priest had asked his wife to write on his behalf, including Dr. Liu from the Imperial Academy.

Dr. Liu was suspended from her duties, so she blamed her sister, who ended up being kicked out.

*

[This Dr. Liu is shameless; he actually has the nerve to bring up his own father. How many years has your father been dead? Still calling him "father"? What, could your father produce breast milk?]

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but grumble inwardly, and bumped into someone while turning the corner.

She covered her forehead and took a step back. After recognizing the person, she smiled and said, "It's Master Cai! It's so late, why aren't you off work yet? Uh, going home? Have you taken care of things at home?"

The Ministry of Works official reminisced for a second about the days when Shen Zhiyi called out to His Majesty everywhere before sighing with a headache: "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Shen Lang. Things at home have been a mess lately, but thankfully they're mostly resolved. However, there's one thing I'm still debating whether to tell His Majesty."

【What's the matter? Oh, so it's about finding an opportunity for Liu to establish herself as a female household? Really? Is it that difficult to establish a female household in Da Ye these days?】

It's not so much that this matter is troublesome, but rather that the old emperor's attention is not on this matter at all. He still follows the previous dynasty's policy on independent female households, which is equivalent to prohibiting independent female households. That's why the official in charge of public affairs decided to talk to the old emperor about this matter.

However, the old emperor doesn't necessarily care as much whether he says something or Shen Zhiyi says it.

Seeing that Shen Zhiyi already knew about this, the Ministry of Works official felt much relieved.
