Chapter 1819 Good and Evil Without Distinction Between Generations
"You can cover for Uncle Ge?" Ge Dongqing didn't believe it at all! The person he feared most was Shang tide. If the Emperor wanted to protect him, he would change his mind after just a few words from Shang Xi. It was no wonder that this person could cover for him.
Shang tide looked at Ge Dongqing with a gaze that seemed to say, "You have no conscience!" "Uncle Ge, if you hadn't confessed to the Emperor yourself, I would never have mentioned this matter to him!"
"I do not believe!"
Shang Xi readily admitted, "If Uncle Ge hadn't come after me, I definitely would have said something. This involves the nuns of the courtyard being bullied by Han Muran, and it also involves the reputation of my Prince Pang's Mansion! But I definitely wouldn't say anything in front of Uncle Ge! I would definitely give Uncle Ge face!"
Ge Dongqing knelt on the ground and started crying again, "It's all Lord Zhao's fault! He wouldn't have taken me to Tingfeng Nunnery, and I wouldn't have been able to find such a place! By the way, niece-in-law, your steward Yuhua, you can't possibly harm Uncle Ge to death!"
"No, she will only recount what she saw today from beginning to end; she won't make up anything she didn't see!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Dongqing began to reflect on his actions that day!
Yu Hua, who accompanied the Emperor on his stroll outside, not only recounted everything she had seen at Tingfeng Nunnery, but also told him about Shang tide's insults directed at the Han family!
Wan Lianxing looked at Yu Hua, whose face was filled with indignation, and asked, "Did Shang tide really say that?"
Yu Hua nodded vigorously. When she first accompanied Wan Lianxing out, she was quite nervous, afraid of saying the wrong thing and making things worse. After exchanging a few words with Wan Lianxing, she realized that although the Emperor looked dignified, he was gentle, and his tone of voice was pleasant and well-proportioned. His attitude towards her was also exceptionally friendly, so she spoke without any worries or pressure, truly saying what she meant. Wan Lianxing, without leaving the house, had a general understanding of Tingfeng Nunnery, even knowing exactly what was sold at the stalls near the nunnery's entrance.
"It was Shang tide who said it. After Shang Xi and I left Tingfeng Nunnery and got into the carriage, Shang Xi said that the good days of the Han family were coming to an end. She said that the Han family was turning public resources into private ones and selling official positions. Shang Xi said that the Han family only wanted to make money and that their end would not be good!"
Yu Hua told him everything she knew. This person was truly open and honest, able to explain things in such detail, perhaps out of fear that the Prince Pang's mansion would be implicated. This person was truly loyal and upright.
Wan Lianxing nodded, "Go back and call Feng'er out!"
"Yes!"
After venting her frustrations, Yu Hua felt much better. She had been holding her anger in all the way to Tingfeng Nunnery for seeing how badly the old nuns were bullied. Now she could finally help those bullied nuns!
Back in the old lady's outer room, Yu Hua's face was flushed, and her back was covered in sweat! She said to Cheng Feng, "The Emperor is waiting for you in the back garden!"
Shang tide had already stood up: "Shouldn't you be looking for me?"
Shang tide has something to say!
Yu Hua shook her head, "They're looking for Cheng Feng, you're probably next!"
Ge Dongqing, still kneeling on the ground, looked at Cheng Feng with expectant eyes, "Nephew, Uncle Ge has always treated you well, hasn't he?"
"Of course! Uncle Ge treats his nephew exceptionally well!"
Ge Dongqing winked and said, "You know what to say and what not to say, right?"
"Uncle Ge, don't worry, I won't say anything bad, I'll even put in a good word for you!"
Ge Dongqing trusted Cheng Feng's character; he knew Cheng Feng couldn't possibly harm him!
Cheng Feng strode to the back garden and saw a figure sitting on a swing from afar. Cheng Feng sneaked over, grabbed the swing ropes, and swung the swing out.
Wan Lianxing chuckled, realizing he had already taken off with the swing. When he swung back, Cheng Feng had already swung the swing away again.
Wan Lianxing cursed, "You brat, how dare you ambush me!"
Cheng Feng laughed heartily behind him, and the old butler chuckled beside him, but neither of their voices was as loud as Wan Lianxing's, "You brat, stop swinging! Make the swing stop right now!"
As the swing gradually slowed down, Cheng Feng helped him up. "Uncle, my Uncle Ge is still kneeling on the ground! Aren't you worried about him?"
Mentioning Ge Dongqing, Wan Lianxing's lips twitched! "That womanizing scholar! Kneeling is the lightest punishment. Once I've investigated this matter thoroughly, I'll definitely punish your Uncle Ge. The brothel can't even contain him anymore, he always has to get involved in some romantic escapades with nuns! See how I deal with him!"
Cheng Feng stopped joking. "Ultimately, this is all because the Han family is restless! Han Muran is doing evil. Under the guise of spiritual cultivation, she is selling prostitution and making money in the temple, and bullying other monks and nuns."
Wan Lianxing asked Cheng Feng, "Isn't Han Muran only seventeen or eighteen years old?"
"I don't know! He's probably around seventeen or eighteen!" Cheng Feng didn't know much either; he wasn't particularly interested in the Han family or their affairs. Even with his mother's connection, he couldn't feel close to the Han family.
Wan Lianxing sighed, “Good and evil have no distinction of age, and evil deeds are not limited by seniority. When your mother first brought her into the palace, I disliked her. The desire in her eyes was too strong, it was greed and lust, so the way she looked at me displeased me the most.”
Cheng Feng, who could never be serious for more than three seconds, couldn't help but chuckle, "Uncle is handsome and dashing, which woman could resist him!"
Wan Lianxing's fan flew out again. "You brat, stop flattering me. I'm only talking about serious matters! You're just rambling on and on."
Cheng Feng unfolded the folding fan that Wan Lianxing had tossed to him and fanned Wan Lianxing eagerly. "Calm down. You can be so composed in front of others, but why do you become so irritable when you see me? It's not good that you keep hitting me. You keep hitting my head with things. If you ever hurt or cripple me, you won't even be able to cry properly!"
Wan Lianxing pointed at Cheng Feng and said angrily, "You talk like you're some kind of treasure. I could beat you senseless! You knew about the Han family's affairs but didn't report them. I didn't punish you because of my sick sister-in-law. And now you're trying to spout nonsense to me!"
"The Han family is your sister-in-law's family. You want me to report the Emperor's sister-in-law's family? Isn't that putting me in a difficult position? Uncle, you saw your sister-in-law's condition. A junior member of the Han family committed suicide, and your sister-in-law fainted. If I report the Han family, your sister-in-law will be so angry that she'll die!" Cheng Feng had been thinking about the Han family for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before the Emperor questioned him!
"Feng'er, there is no favoritism in the face of right and wrong; justice is the standard. Even if you are related to the Han family, you must have your own stance."
"Uncle, are you asking me to uphold justice and even betray my own family?"
"I want you to put public interests before private ones, to be willing to betray your own flesh and blood rather than betray the principles of the world."
