992: Chapter 971 Impeachnt 992: Chapter 971 Impeachnt Tomorrow was the first day of August, and it was the official day for the Prince of Yizhou’s banquet.
Manbao had been waiting for Yin Huo to co for treatnt and had not gone ho to check if her flowers had been sold.
Once she returned ho, she hurried to the backyard to find Zhou Wulang.
Mr.
Zhuang saw her circling around and about to dash out again, so he stopped her, saying, “Fifth Brother sold the flowers and brought back a pot of antique roses, saying that the Prince of Yizhou’s residence ntioned that good things should co in pairs, and they wanted another pot.”
“Did they force the purchase?”
Mr.
Zhuang pointed to her room and said, “Fifth Brother has already brought the silver back.
Go count it yourself.”
Manbao then called Bai Shan to count the silver with her.
Bai Shan didn’t want to go.
After all, it wasn’t his money.
What was the point of counting it?
He said, “During the Mid-Autumn Festival, our school has activities.
I don’t know if the scholars want us to write poetry or do sothing else, so I need to study.
You go count it yourself.”
“Are you still angry that I praised Yin Huo?”
Just as Mr.
Zhuang, turning to head back to his study, paused in his steps and turned back to ask, “How did Yin Huo co into this again?”
Manbao covered her mouth while Bai Shan chuckled, leaving her to face Mr.
Zhuang alone as he slipped back to his study.
Mr.
Zhuang did not forbid Bai Shan to interact with Yin Huo, as the two were classmates.
Avoiding each other would only breed resentnt.
However, he did not want Manbao to get too close to the Yin Family.
If it were just about seeking dical treatnt where one could heal, that would be acceptable.
But luring soone to seek treatnt was inappropriate.
The affairs of the Yin Family were complicated.
Who knew what the Yin Family would think about her enticing soone to co for treatnt?
The Yin Family had no idea because at the mont, they knew nothing.
Yin Huo had not ntioned anything to his family, and only they had been in the carriage without any servants of the Yin Family, so the family was even less aware.
Yin Huo had just returned from school and had not yet reached his grandmother’s courtyard when he heard the noisy chatter inside.
Unable to help himself, he paused and turned to ask a servant, “Why is it so lively at ho?”
“Your aunts have returned and are speaking with the Old Madam.”
Yin Huo asked, “What are they discussing that’s so lively?”
The servant whispered, “Today in the court assembly, the Censorate impeached your lordship and your three brothers-in-law, so…”
Yin Huo understood imdiately.
He turned and left, saying, “If Grandmother asks, tell her I’ve gone to my own courtyard.
The teacher has assigned quite a bit of coursework.”
“But young master, Imperial Doctor Tan has also co and is waiting in the guest courtyard.
After you see the Old Madam, you are supposed to visit for treatnt.”
Yin Huo pursed his lips.
“Doesn’t it make no difference whether I see him or not?”
The Yin Family’s servants, tremulous, dared not think so.
A Little Girl quickly stepped inside to report, and before Yin Huo had gone far, his sisters ca out one after another, stopping him, saying, “Little brother, why not co inside?
How can you just stand outside in the wind?”
With that, they pulled Yin Huo inside.
As soon as Yin Huo sat down, Old Madam Yin stopped discussing the impeachnts and commanded, “Go, quickly call Imperial Doctor Tan here.”
Imperial Doctor Tan was still young and in his pri.
Today, he was just following routine to check Yin Huo’s pulse.
At first glance, it seed there was no change, but a closer examination revealed that the symptoms of lancholy troubling the young master had worsened.
Imperial Doctor Tan looked up and sighed internally at the room full of won.
He repeated his usual advice, then advised Yin Huo to rest more and take his dicine on ti.
Yin Huo glanced down and saw that the prescription Imperial Doctor Tan wrote was the sa as before, so he looked away.
The Yin Family went to see Imperial Doctor Tan off, and Yin Huo felt a bit restless inside.
He stood up and said, “Grandmother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, I am going back.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.
Servants, bring the young master his cloak; don’t let him catch a cold.”
Yin Huo said, “It’s only the end of July.
It’s still hot.”
“Then don’t bring the cloak; just bring an umbrella.
Be careful not to let the young master catch a cold.”
Yin Huo pursed his lips and turned to leave.
After the grandson left, Old Madam Yin addressed the granddaughters, “Alright, it’s not a big deal.
A little deduction from the salary, writing a letter of defense, or perhaps a demotion of one or two ranks, go ho now.”
“Grandmother, how is it not a big deal if it involves demotion?”
“It would also teach you a lesson not to block people at every minor commotion.”
Eldest Sister Yin said, “We didn’t intend to do much, neither hitting nor scolding anyone.
We just wanted to talk to Young Master Bai and tell him not to bully our younger brother.”
“Didn’t Qilang say that he didn’t argue with anyone and wasn’t bullied?
He just spoke too hastily.”
“If he weren’t so aggressive, would our brother have spoken hastily?”
Old Madam Yin held her forehead and asked, “So, do you want to go to the Censorate and argue with the censors?”
The sisters fell silent imdiately.
Second Sister Yin looked at her elder sister, then at her third sister, and laughed, “Grandmother, we an no harm.
It’s just that Young Master Bai and his Senior Sister, that Zhou person, they really don’t consider our Yin Family highly at all.
We only went to find them, and even before we could speak, she started blabbering a lot, blaming everything on us, and that’s what caused this ss.”
“Children newly arrived in the capital, what do they know?” Old Madam Yin said, “If you wanted to talk to soone, couldn’t you have done it properly?
What does it look like, blocking them on the street?
Also, the people who caused trouble at Jishi Hall yesterday, was it you who sent them?”
Eldest Sister Yin started to defend, but Old Madam Yin lightly tapped the table and said, “Isn’t this causing trouble?
There’s Imperial Doctor Zheng at the Imperial Hospital who is from Jishi Hall.
If you cause trouble at Jishi Hall, how can we still have the face to ask for an imperial doctor for Qilang?”
“Imperial Doctor Tan’s family has been friends with our family for decades…”
“But he can’t cure Qilang’s disease,” Old Madam Yin suddenly beca angry, pounding the table with more force, “Can’t we invite a better imperial doctor?”
The Yin Sisters fell silent.
“The impeachnt this ti is rather mild, rely accusing you of poor household managent.
The matter at Jishi Hall yesterday didn’t have enough evidence, so the censors let it go.
If the posting incident from last night beca known to the censors, not only your fathers-in-law but even your father would have been severely reprimanded.”
The sisters lowered their heads, but inside they felt sowhat unconvinced.
The trouble they had caused hardly amounted to minor mischief.
In the capital, those young nobles who rode horses wildly and brawled year-round caused far bigger troubles, yet did their fathers face consequences?
They were rely worried about their younger brother, who had confronted soone on the street.
Seeing them like this, Old Madam Yin felt powerless to intervene further and waved her hand, “I am old and lacking in energy.
If you won’t listen to advice, there’s no need to tell these things.
Go talk to your father yourselves.”
The Yin Sisters didn’t have the courage to speak, all shrinking back in silence.
Mainly, they truly hadn’t expected the situation to escalate so severely.
Normally, there were impeachnts from the censors, but they usually amounted to nothing.
Yet today, their husbands ca ho and said that the people from the Censorate seed very angry, keen on stripping them of their ranks.
