Chapter 718: Promotion
After that, there was news spread that Nan Shu Cheng got promotion.
He contributed greatly to procure the evidences that stated how Mu Family had abused their authorities. Not only that, they also mistreated their descendant and made use of the children for their benefits.
This caused an uproar.
After all, everyone knew that General Mu was an upright man. How could it be possible for his family members to be so…
*sigh*
Discussion spread all across the Capital City and even after several days, it didn’t die down. Nan Shu Cheng originally planned on making grand celebration, but recalling that it would soon be Emperor Yang Zhou’s marriage, he decided to postpone the celebration until Emperor Yang Zhou had gotten married.
That way, it would not seem as if he was trying to steal the attention away.
With double celebration, Nan Shu Cheng was in such a good mood every single day while he was watching the downfall of Mu Family. They were pressed over and over and finally couldn’t do anything but to accept that their family was no more.
Those with heavy crimes were immediately executed while the others who only watched from their family was pardoned. However, their noble title was striped and their entire family would only be commoner from now on.
Only General Mu and his immediate family still retained their noble title.
After all, General Mu’s contribution couldn’t be ignored. He was one of the few powerful general who had served the nation. Even though he couldn’t come back to the battlefield, the kingdom wouldn’t mistreat him, his wife, and his children.
They were basically save.
…
Nan Hua was correcting the pouch she made and carefully made the veins pattern around the pouch. It took her several days after correcting it a few times while waiting for the news outside to spread further.
“Miss, His Majesty is planning to hold his marriage next week.” Xiao Yun reported. She thought that it would take at least a month for Emperor Yang Zhou to finish the preparation, but it has only been two weeks. For all the preparation to be finished within this period of time, it could be said to be extremely fast.
“Mhm.” Nan Hua knew that Emperor Yang Zhou was in a hurry. Since everything was already basically set in the stone, he just wanted to proceed with this marriage as fast as possible.
Two weeks.
The time was tight, but it was not impossible.
Nan Hua looked at the pouch in her hand and finally decided that it was enough. She was not an expert in making this and after the teaching from Concubine Mu, she kept on practicing on other cloths before resuming this pouch. The result was not bad.
At the very least, it could be said to be exquisite.
