The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! Chapter 1746: 1739: Go Guard the City Gate

Chapter 1746: Chapter 1739: Go Guard the City Gate

Chu Heng heard about this matter and found it quite interesting.

He called Zhuo Junli over and asked him what official position the young master from the Wen Family had been given after passing the exam. Zhuo Junli lightly flicked his long sleeves and laughed, “This Pri Minister sees that the young master of the Wen Family has a tall and slender stature, so he was given an important position, right at the city gate of Jiang Du City.”

“City gate?” Chu Heng widened his round eyes.

Lu Mian said coldly, “The important position Zhuo Pri Minister ntioned is having him guard the city gate?”

“Yes.” Zhuo Junli frankly admitted, “The city gate of Jiang Du City is such an important place. The young master of the Wen Family is well-versed in poetry and books and has just happened to pass the exam. He must be assigned a good job, right?”

Guarding the city gate suits him perfectly.

“Zhuo Pri Minister is acting recklessly! Insulting an imperial officer, do you know what Lord Wen of the Supre Court thinks?” Lu Mian’s face turned livid, his words becoming more confrontational.

Zhuo Junli never engaged directly with him, only laughed, “Lu Lord seems to be getting more and more interesting with his position. Is a Supre Court lord worth deliberately insulting him?

Or do you think that every official position given to a second-rank licentiate by the Crown Prince must go through your approval, Lu Lord?”

Lu Mian: “Zhuo Pri Minister need not stir up trouble like this.”

“Alright.” Chu Heng promptly interrupted the war of words between the two.

He looked at Lu Mian with a gentle gaze, “Lu Lord, mother sent a letter asking about sister Ling. If she has recovered well, have her make so embroidery; I’ll send it to mother, who likes her craftsmanship;

Additionally, regarding the admission of won to the national academy, please take great care, along with Zhuo Pri Minister, in selecting suitable candidates. I will personally attend to observe.”

Lu Mian’s face fell cold, “Yes, I comply with the orders.”

This cold expression made it hard to see any feelings, yet both commands from Chu Heng stirred the anger in his heart.

Leng Muling hasn’t died yet, and he still wishes to select won to enter the national academy.

What kind of place is the national academy?

A place for nurturing the pillars of the nation with ambitions!

What virtues and capabilities do won have to enroll?

If they beco educated, are they then expected to take the imperial examinations like n?

That’s simply absurd!

The more Lu Mian thought, the angrier he beca, especially since Leng Muling was bound to upset him!

Lu Mother rushed to Jiang Du City from their hotown, and upon arrival, she released Leng Muling, who was locked in the attic.

Lu Mother ca from a scholarly family and strongly opposed husbands mistreating their wives.

She released Leng Muling and reprimanded the servants of the Lu Family sternly:

“The young master acted wrongly, and you failed to advise him, even imprisoned madam, and deprived her of proper food. What an outrageous breach of standards! Utterly ignoring propriety and discipline! Ridiculous behavior!”

Lu Mother wore a dark red wide-sleeved collared robe, with a shawl of the sa color. Her hair was adorned with a jade hairpin, yet utterly still, dignified and majestic, inspiring respect.

The servants of the Lu Estate knelt as they received admonishnt, and the young servant beside Lu Mian didn’t dare utter a word in response.

Lu Mother punished them one by one, clearly defining rewards and penalties according to rank and status. The people of the Lu Family listened to the reprimand without daring to defy.

After they all departed, Lu Mother looked toward Leng Muling.

The injury on Leng Muling’s head had improved, no longer bandaged, yet still showing a large red mark.

Lu Mother previously interrogated about it, knowing that it was caused by Lu Mian hitting her.

Lu Mother patiently consoled, “Daughter-in-law, do not be angry. Zi Zhou is well-read and polite, originally a bookish and courteous child. Now that he’s in the officialdom, it’s inevitable that he has absorbed so dark and tyrannical habits, and accidentally hurt you; this is his fault,
