415 Coincidental Encounter with the Scumbag Father (1)

On the first day of Song Jingchen’s court session, everyone was in a daze. Initially, most of the officials thought that even if Emperor Chong’an called him back, he wouldn’t put him in an important position. They didn’t expect him to become the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review as soon as he returned.

Those who had stepped on the Bulwark Duke’s residence before felt their scalps tingle, afraid that Song Jingchen would use his position to take revenge.

Especially when they looked at Grand Tutor Zhao, they could not help but look at him sympathetically.

Wasn’t Grand Tutor Zhao afraid? He was naturally afraid. He was so afraid that he fell sick when he returned home that day and called in sick the next day.

Because of this, everyone looked at Song Jingchen strangely.

At this moment, the palace door hadn’t opened yet. The ministers were gathered in groups of two or three to chat. Only Song Jingchen’s surroundings were empty, as if he was a ferocious beast.

General Xiao also came. He nodded at Song Jingchen and stood with the general he was familiar with.

Song Jingchen lowered his eyes, his face expressionless.

At this moment, the ministers who were whispering looked in one direction. It turned out that Shangguan Yu had arrived.

Song Jingchen stood at the back and bowed with the minister before stopping.

A few ministers wanted to get close to him as usual, but Shangguan Yu nodded and walked straight towards Song Jingchen.

“Morning, Ah Chen,” Shangguan Yu greeted with a smile.

Song Jingchen cupped his hands. “Your Highness.”

And that was it.

Shangguan Yu rubbed his nose. “You won’t have any friends like this.”

Song Jingchen reminded him, “The palace door is about to open.”

Shangguan Yu didn’t manage to have a proper conversation with Song Jingchen, but there was a smile on his face. This made Shangguan Heng, who had just arrived, furious.

He was not the same kind of person as Song Jingchen, so they didn’t interact much. He didn’t hate him or like him, and his attitude was ordinary.

However, he liked Shangguan Yu very much. In his opinion, Song Jingchen didn’t know what was good for him.

The palace door opened, and the officials lined up according to their ranks to enter the hall.

Unless something major happened, the morning court session usually wouldn’t last long. It was the same today.

After the court session, Song Jingchen went straight to the Court of Judicial Review. Yesterday, he had been familiarizing himself with the past cases.

Originally, these cases would be categorized so that they could be checked specifically in the future. However, what he received had been deliberately messed up.

He didn’t say anything and just looked at the cases for the rest of the day.

This gave people the illusion that he was easy to bully. When he walked into the government office today, they did not even bow perfunctorily, as if he was not there.

Song Jingchen wasn’t angry. He called over another official. It was Lord Du, who was in his thirties.

Lord Du was not as popular as Luo Sicheng in the Dali Temple. In other words, his backer was not as strong as Luo Sicheng.

“Do you want to go further?” Song Jingchen went straight to the point.

Lord Du was speechless.

What nonsense was this? Who didn’t want to be promoted and get rich?

“As long as I get promoted, I’ll be fine!” he thought.

After Shen Yijia sent Sister Huan and the others to the academy, she went to the wine shop Pinellia and the others opened.

She had yet to think about what she wanted to do for a living. When she arrived in the capital, she had to buy everything. She spent the money like water. She only had about a thousand taels of silver left in her small treasury.

Over the past few days, she had more or less understood the situation in the capital. She finally understood how difficult it had been for Pinellia and the others.

Only she would dare to give such an order to run a business in the capital with five hundred taels of silver, right?

At least those girls managed to survive here.

Pinellia had told her about the location of the wine shop before. It was at the 37th Alley in the south of the city.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Shen Yijia asked Mo Yuan to wait at the entrance of the alley and walked in.

The reason why she could confirm that it was this alley was because she could smell the fragrance of wine from afar.

The alley was not big, but it was clean. The wine shop was near the middle.

As soon as Shen Yijia arrived, she saw a person fly out and fall to the ground. The person cursed and did not dare to go in again. He spat and limped away.

“Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? A toad wants to eat swan meat and wants to marry our Sister Pinellia. Wait until your next life.” A young lady stood at the door with her hands on her hips and cursed at that person.

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows and glanced at the man’s back. He was almost old enough to be Pinellia’s father, so she nodded in agreement. “You shouldn’t think about it even in your next life.”

“Yes, in your next life too.” Wolfiporia subconsciously added. She paused in mid-sentence and turned around to see who it was. She said in surprise, “Miss, why are you here?”
