Chapter 175 The Reason for the Disappearance of the Only Daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice
Chen Decai stopped the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
It was only then that the Vice Minister of Justice realized that he had not seen the old emperor.
He knelt down in fear and trepidation.
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
"I forgive you, Vice Minister of Justice. Who is missing that makes you so flustered?"
"Your Majesty, it is my daughter."
At this point, the Vice Minister of Justice burst into tears.
"I only have one precious daughter, and all the others are brats. I went to ask them where my sister was, and good heavens, one or two of them knew nothing about it. This is infuriating! I have searched the entire Huguo Temple but still cannot find my precious daughter."
"Minister of Justice, please don't be anxious."
The old emperor reached out and stopped the other party from continuing.
"Is it possible that your daughter has gone back to the manor?"
"That's impossible, Your Majesty. I've already asked the servants, and my daughter hasn't returned."
"Have you asked the people at the temple?"
The Vice Minister of Justice cried even louder.
"I asked them all, and they said they've never seen my daughter."
[I've gone back, but not yet; I'm still on the road.]
The crying of the Vice Minister of Justice stopped.
Did his daughter go back?
How did you get back?
The family's carriages are still there, how are we going to get back?
[However, these girls look rather sleazy. First, they covered their faces with a headscarf, then they walked out on their own two legs. Wow, that's impressive. It would still take them several hours to walk back to the capital from here.]
But why are you acting so furtively?
The Vice Minister of Justice was preoccupied with the fact that his daughter had been arrested.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to bid farewell to the Emperor to go find his daughter when Shen Zhiyi's exclamation made his head ache.
【Holy crap!】
[The daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice is extraordinary! Absolutely extraordinary!]
Now I finally understand why these girls were running away so timidly; if they didn't run quickly, it would be all over.
The Vice Minister of Justice felt a chill run down his spine.
He wished he could just ask Shen Zhiyi directly, "How could things have ended if his daughter hadn't run away!"
Is someone trying to harm his daughter?
The Vice Minister of Justice's eyes turned sharp, as if he would immediately find a way to kill the person if Shen Zhiyi uttered a name.
The daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice just saw Censor Zou and tsk tsk.
Shen Zhiyi's tone sounded quite subtle.
The Vice Minister of Justice frowned. What had happened between his daughter and Censor Zou?
His daughter rarely leaves the house; how could she possibly know someone in officialdom?
[Zou, the Censor, only became an official in recent years. Before that, he met a beautiful girl, and they fell in love. He vowed that once he achieved official rank, he would marry her. However, after he achieved his goal, the girl disappeared and left him with a letter saying goodbye.]
The Vice Minister of Justice was stunned.
Shen Zhiyi's words are heartless and ungrateful; is his daughter the one who speaks so carelessly and unjustly?
Upon hearing Shen Zhiyi's thoughts, Zou Jishizhong's lips twitched for a moment before slowly curving upwards.
It seems he has finally found the girl he loves.
He doesn't blame his beloved girl for leaving him; as long as she's willing to come back, he can pretend nothing happened.
Zou, the censor, looked around excitedly.
Oh right, his beloved girl isn't here right now.
His colleague and friend, Judge Wang, patted him on the shoulder.
"Calm down, calm down."
"Old Wang, I can't calm down. You know I've been looking for her for a long time, and I finally know where she is."
Even so, couldn't they just avoid that Censor Zou at Huguo Temple? Why did they have to be so careful in fleeing Huguo Temple?
Shen Zhiyi's intuition told her that things were not that simple.
[Hiss, so that's how it is!]
Looking at the onlookers' curious gazes, the Vice Minister of Justice had a bad feeling for some reason.
Zou, the Censor, is merely one of many fish in the pond of the daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice.
Zou, who was nearby, broke down in tears, shouting frantically, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
He and the daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice were in love with each other; it was a one-on-one relationship. How could there be a third party interfering?
For example, there was Wang, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy.
Censor Zou: ...
Judge Wang: ...
The air suddenly became still.
[The only daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice was previously obsessed with novels where the male protagonist was a divine physician, and later decided to try her luck with finding one.]
[As for Physician Wang, he became a physician at a young age, which naturally indicates his exceptional medical skills. More importantly, he is kind-hearted and often goes to impoverished areas every month to provide free pulse diagnosis, earning him the title of "Divine Physician Wang" among the people of the capital.]
[After learning of this news, the only daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice immediately sought out the renowned physician Wang, but under a false identity, and began a romantic relationship with him.]
Judge Wang muttered, "So it was a fake identity. I was wondering why I couldn't find it after searching for so long."
Zou, the censor: "Shut up!"
[At the end of the conversation, the renowned physician Wang proposed marriage, which terrified the only daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice, who quickly made an excuse to leave.]
Judge Wang wept with joy.
"I've found her! I've found my fiancée!"
"What do you mean, 'your fiancée'? She's mine!"
Zou, the censor, has broken through the great defenses!
Judge Wang said in a deep voice, "Brother Zou, she and I had already reached the point of discussing marriage. What about you?"
"Of course!"
Judge Wang was silent for a moment before saying, "She and I started dating a year ago..."
Zou, the censor, sneered, "What? You're not going to continue? I've known her for three years. You're a newcomer, so you should get out of here."
Wang Yuanpan sneered, "My relationship with her is much deeper than that with Brother Zou."
"Ah, your dreams are much more profound."
The two began arguing as if no one else was around.
Unable to stand it any longer, the official from the Imperial Clan Court patted the two men on the shoulder.
"My two brothers, listen to my advice: don't let a woman ruin your harmony."
That's two already, but there are more.
Zou, the Censor, and Wang, the Imperial Physician, gently broke it.
There were more than just the two of them!
For example, for a time, the only daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice was obsessed with the tale of a domineering prince falling in love with her, so she wanted to try dating the prince herself.
However, all the princes in Da Ye were old men, so she had no choice but to give up.
The Vice Minister of Justice breathed a huge sigh of relief. If his daughter had offended the prince, he, as her father, would have risked his life to find a way to resolve the situation.
【But!】
Everyone's hearts were in their throats again.
The old emperor couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking, "Damn, that's brilliant!"
He greeted Chen Decai.
Upon receiving the order, Chen Decai immediately prepared tables, chairs, and snacks.
However, the only daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice happened to meet someone who she felt could barely replace the Prince. This person is...
Everyone was on tenterhooks.
Who, who is it!
