Chapter 441: Scumbag Father Causing Trouble (2)
The censors’ saliva flew everywhere as they spoke. Fortunately, Shen Pingxiu did not go to court today. Otherwise, he would have been criticized by so many people and had to kill himself to apologize.
The emperor was also furious. He sent someone to the Shen residence to pass on his oral order on the spot. He fined Shen Pingxiu’s salary for a year and suspended him from work to reflect on his actions.
This was on account that he was Consort Jing’s biological father. He could be considered a relative. If it were anyone else, he would have stripped this person of his official position.
Even so, he still felt that this was not enough to vent his anger. He scolded Lord Jing for some trivial matters.
Lord Jing’s face was still dark when the court session ended.
Minister Chen was also as dark-faced as him. His son-in-law was raising a mistress, and his daughter was shameless. How could he be any better off? Everyone knew that Shen Pingxiu had been backed by him.
Everyone could not help but look at the two of them with sympathy. They had clearly done nothing, but they had lost some dignity because of an unreliable relative. Wasn’t it unfair?
Apart from these two people who were directly related to Shen Pingxiu, there was another person in the imperial court who also married Shen Pinxiu’s daughter, Song Jingchen.
