Chapter 432 Aloof
That was the Empress Dowager, who was high above and unmatched. With a single order from the Empress Dowager, Sun Yunhe was punished by facing the wall and reflecting on his mistakes for three days. Such a light punishment made Zhang Shaoqing and the others very angry. However, Zhang Shaoqing also knew that Wei Zhongxian and the Empress Dowager were in charge.
So Zhang Shaoqing was powerless against the Empress Dowager, and had no choice but to swallow his anger. Sun Yunhe had always remembered this matter. The moment Sun Yunhe saw Situ Minyue, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"Situ Minyue, you've really grown more and more beautiful as you get older," Sun Yunhe said without any attempt to hide his feelings for Situ Minyue, spouting nothing but nonsense.
At this moment, Situ Minyue couldn't help but tremble. She still remembered that incident from back then: Sun Yunhe had taken his men to Zhang Shaoqing's house to propose marriage. At that time, Zhang Shaoqing was reading in his study. When Sun Yunhe saw that Situ Minyue was the only one in the room, he was far from polite.
Sun Yunhe almost bullied Situ Minyue, but luckily Situ Minyue was also a girl who liked martial arts. However, Situ Minyue's little bit of martial arts skills were no match for Sun Yunhe. But Situ Minyue was also very strong.
Situ Minyue was furious at the time. In order to protect her innocence, she opened her mouth and bit Sun Yunhe's arm. There is still a tooth mark on Sun Yunhe's arm. So both of them remember this incident vividly. Situ Minyue involuntarily moved closer to her father.
Situ Minyue deeply disliked Sun Yunhe, or to be more precise, she was somewhat afraid of him, because Sun Yunhe was now a favorite of Wei Zhongxian.
Especially in recent years, Sun Yunhe's influence has grown so much that it seems like he's about to jump to the sky. As a result, everyone around him has benefited from his success, which explains why Sun Yunhe is so arrogant.
Wasn't he relying on Wei Zhongxian's power? Zhang Shaoqing suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up. He slammed the wine cup in his hand to the ground without any politeness. As the Minister of War, Zhang Shaoqing...
That was a big shot. Although he was bullied by Wei Zhongxian on a daily basis, Wei Zhongxian didn't take Zhang Shaoqing seriously.
That doesn't mean that Wei Zhongxian's lackeys can be so arrogant: "Sun Yunhe, you're not welcome here. Get out of here right now, or I'll make you regret it."
Zhang Shaoqing was truly furious. After speaking, Zhang Shaoqing bit his lip with red eyes and picked up the unfinished hot pot with both hands. The hot pot was still steaming hot!
The soup inside was still boiling; if it were accidentally spilled on someone, they would be badly injured, even if they didn't die.
Sun Yunhe was startled. His cheeks turned red, and he pointed angrily at Zhang Shaoqing, but he kept backing away.
“Zhang Shaoqing, you’re asking for trouble, aren’t you? You old codger, just because you’re the Minister of War, you’re still trampled underfoot by my master. You still dare to be arrogant in front of me? You’re just asking for death.”
Although Sun Yunhe said that, he was still slightly wary of Zhang Shaoqing.
What Zhang Shaoqing hated most was seeing these guys swaggering around in front of him. So, he splashed the scalding soup on Sun Yunhe.
His body was splashed with soup, and even a piece of vegetable leaf was on Sun Yunhe's head. Many people were holding back their laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh. Who would dare to laugh at this critical moment? Because Sun Yunhe's eyes had already turned red.
If Sun Yunhe's eyes turn red, the consequences will be very serious. Everyone still remembers the last Minister of War, who was killed by the Eastern Depot because he accidentally offended Wei Zhongxian.
Moreover, the Minister of War was a favorite of the Emperor, but Wei Zhongxian had the Empress Dowager backing him up.
Even if Wei Zhongxian killed a high-ranking official, it wouldn't matter. With a single order from the Empress Dowager, Wei Zhongxian would simply be placed in solitary confinement.
At this moment, Sun Yunhe's eyes were enough to kill. Sun Yunhe's mouth was already bitten and bleeding, but he didn't care at all. Sun Yunhe stuck out his tongue, licked the blood off his lips, and then spat on the ground and cursed.
"You shameless Zhang Shaoqing, are you trying to act tough in front of me today? I'll make you suffer today!"
Sun Yunhe was furious. He strode over. Zhang Shaoqing, who was a soldier, was described in a more flattering way, as if he commanded thousands of troops.
Unfortunately, Minister of War Zhang Shaoqing has been sidelined by Wei Zhongxian. To put it bluntly, Zhang Shaoqing is now just an empty shell. Moreover, Zhang Shaoqing did not bring his subordinates today to congratulate Chen Er; he only brought his daughter.
Zhang Shaoqing is a very sociable person. If he brings too many people today, it might cause Chen Er to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
But now, because Sun Yunhe brought a lot of people, they completely surrounded the table, and no one dared to be presumptuous, not even daring to breathe loudly.
It was as if the space had become completely silent, with only the sound of Sun Yunhe's footsteps and his cold laughter. Although Zhang Shaoqing was the Minister of War.
However, Zhang Shaoqing knew absolutely nothing about martial arts. When he saw Sun Yunhe coming over, Zhang Shaoqing subconsciously thought of picking up a hot pot again.
Unfortunately, Sun Yunhe moved completely. At this moment, Sun Yunhe touched the ground with both feet, and his body was like a strange wind, making it impossible for anyone to figure out. In the next breath, Sun Yunhe had already appeared behind Zhang Shaoqing.
Situ Minyue was startled and shouted, "Father, watch out behind you! This guy is trying to ambush you!"
Situ Minyue's voice trembled slightly, and she subconsciously poked Sun Yunhe's head with her small fist.
Unfortunately, the girl's martial arts skills were too poor, and how could a woman possibly defeat the burly Sun Yunhe? At this moment, Sun Yunhe easily grabbed Situ Minyue's arm with his own hand.
"Wow, Situ Minyue, I've truly fallen in love with you at first sight. You'll be my little wife, and I'll definitely give you a proper title. Now you decide what to do. If you don't agree, your father will surely die today." Sun Yunhe didn't forget to threaten Situ Minyue.
