Chapter 196: Humiliation
But what can be done?
They can't even see the high-ranking officials, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Shen Wei was feeling angry and had no place to vent.
She was powerless to do anything about this kind of important court affairs. She could only remain silent for a long time before she uttered: "Yes, it would be great if women could also join the army, serve as officials, and do business..."
Shortly after.
Outside the southern suburbs of Beijing, it is close to the royal hunting ground. Due to its beautiful scenery, it is also the favorite summer resort for the dignitaries in Beijing.
Therefore, many dignitaries in Beijing bought courtyards there and lived there in their spare time to cultivate their character.
The most remote and smallest courtyard is the one bought by the Dong family.
at this time.
The young master of the Dong family, whose penis was broken by Shen Wei's kick and who was forced to break off the engagement by the Lu family, was recuperating here.
At that time, Shen Wei had the support of the Marquis' Mansion and had saved Miss Lu's life. Even if he was framed by those women, he did not dare to tell the truth.
He was thinking about revenge every moment, tearing Shen Wei and Miss Lu to pieces, skinning them and drawing out their bones.
That afternoon, the servant who had been serving him walked in with a smile on his face.
When Master Dong saw the smile on the servant's face, he felt that the servant was mocking him and was about to have the servant dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
Before he could speak, the servant spoke first: "Good news!"
"Sir, the servant who went out to purchase goods heard a piece of news in the capital."
Master Dong glanced at the boy with his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake, as if he would bite two bloody holes in his neck at any time.
In the warm, sunny weather, the servant shivered with fear.
Ever since the young master's penis was destroyed, he has transformed from his previous gentle and elegant self into a sinister and deadly venomous snake.
The servant quickly picked out the key points and said:
"The imperial court fought a war with the Xiongnu and lost."
"The two countries signed an alliance, and the Xiongnu demanded tribute of silver, food, and women."
"Now the whole capital is in a panic."
"Families with daughters can't wait to find a marriage for their daughters. Those families in the capital who have some money are extremely anxious and use all kinds of connections to ensure that their daughters will be chosen."
"Oh, by the way, young master, our master said that the people in the capital are in a panic now, and you can't count on the daughters of dignitaries, but you can take this opportunity to find a daughter from a good family to marry and serve you."
Ever since Master Dong became disabled, no decent woman has been willing to marry him.
And now.
Mr. Dong saw this opportunity and planned to buy a virtuous girl to serve Mr. Dong. Serving Mr. Dong was better than being chosen to go to the Huns.
Young Master Dong laughed twice, and the laughter made the servant hair stand on end. It was more frightening than encountering a ghost in broad daylight: "Defeated? Haha."
"Change clothes, I want to go back home!"
The next day.
Mr. Dong visited his friends everywhere, and had close conversations with several officials who had different political views from the Marquis.
A few days later, the emperor once again threw the Huns' peace letter to the ground in anger.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looked around the court, and asked in a deep voice:
"The Xiongnu are going too far. My dear ministers, what do you think?"
Several ministers standing in the front picked up the peace letter. This peace letter was nothing more than the Huns waiting for a few days, becoming impatient and writing a letter to urge them.
No, it would be more appropriate to say it is a threat.
The provocative and threatening expressions of the Huns in the peace treaty made all the civil and military officials wish they could eat their flesh and drink their blood. They had never suffered such a great humiliation before.
