Chapter 112: The Minister of Industry Looking for Evidence

System: [Just now, Yunniang ran into her good friend who had climbed the mountain with her before when she came down the mountain! The two of them fell in love with each other, so they went hiking again! ]

When the Minister of Works heard this, he felt terrible. This guy in his family was really a sea king.

Nan Rongxi: [Hahaha… Too exciting. I haven’t had such a hot story in a long time! This woman is amazing! What happened later? Did the Minister of Industry find them? ]

System: [After mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources, they were finally found. There was no loss of life, and they were found together with the man they knew! ]

Officials: The Minister of Industry is so pitiful! My God!

Minister of Works: This woman has deceived me so badly!

Nan Rongxi smiled secretly: [Does the Minister of Industry know about this? ]

System: [Look, after Yunniang returned, she swore to heaven that she had only climbed the mountain and had done nothing else, and the Minister of Works believed her! ]

Nan Rongxi almost choked when she heard this: [Hahahaha… this person is too stupid, he can even do this! ]

The Minister of Works was filled with deep sorrow, as if an unspeakable pain was spreading in his chest. He felt that his heart had been broken, and the fragments seemed to be scattered all over the ground and could never be put together again.

Dacongming and Youyue looked at each other. They knew that at this time, it would be more appropriate to give the Minister of Works some time to deal with family affairs. So, Dacongming announced in a deep voice: "Today's court meeting ends here, let's adjourn!"

Following this order, all the officials in the court packed up their things and left quietly. They whispered to each other as they walked, and glanced at the Minister of Works from time to time, their eyes full of sympathy and curiosity.

The Minister of Works left alone, with anger and loss intertwined on his face. He clenched his hands into fists, as if trying to suppress his inner anger. He knew that he needed to calm down and think carefully about how to deal with this sudden family change.

At this moment, the hustle and bustle of the court had faded away, and the lonely figure of the Minister of Works looked particularly desolate outside the empty hall.

The night was as dark as ink, and the Minister of Works walked through the winding corridors with heavy steps. His heart was filled with anger and doubts. The disturbances in the court seemed to still echo in his ears, and the complicated and trivial matters at home made him even more upset. Although he was busy with court affairs every day, at this moment, his thoughts were not on those national affairs at all.

Yunniang had already prepared the meal and was quietly waiting for his return at home. Under the light, her face looked particularly gentle, as if all the troubles had nothing to do with her. However, the Minister of Industry could not calm his anger. He never thought that the woman who had slept with him for many years could hide so deeply.

He pushed open the door and looked at Yunniang coldly without saying a word. Yunniang noticed his strangeness, but she just smiled and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the government today?"

The Minister of Works did not answer, but walked to the table, sat down, and began to eat. He ate absent-mindedly, and every bite was like chewing wax. Seeing this, Yunniang understood about 70% of what was going on, so she stopped asking.

After the meal, the Minister of Works took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Yunniang, I'm fine. I just had a hard time at work today." There was a hint of indifference in his words, which made Yunniang shudder unconsciously. She was keenly aware that this was not a simple emotion caused by a dispute in the court.

The Minister of Works knew that without solid evidence, no matter how he questioned, he would only alert the enemy. Therefore, he decided to be patient for the time being and look for evidence secretly. So, he changed his strategy and tried to get more information from Yunniang.

"Yunniang, when are you going to go hiking again?" The Minister of Works tried his best to make his tone sound casual, as if he was just chatting.

Yunniang was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure. She did not answer directly, but asked back: "What's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly?"

The Minister of Industry smiled, trying to make his expression look natural: "Oh, nothing, I just care about you."

After hearing this, Yunniang's eyes flashed with mixed emotions, but she still nodded: "I plan to go again in two days."

Next, he only needs to observe secretly, wait for the opportunity, and collect evidence to resolve the doubts in his mind.

Two days later.

He came to a remote foot of a mountain, where the system said Yunniang and her old friend frequently met. In the night, he vaguely saw two figures whispering in the forest, and laughter came from time to time. The laughter pierced his heart like a steel needle, making him furious.

The Minister of Works approached quietly, hid behind a big tree, and carefully poked his head out. Under the moonlight, Yunniang and a man were sitting side by side, behaving intimately. Their laughter echoed in the night sky, and every sound seemed to be a mockery of the Minister of Works.

He could no longer suppress his anger, and rushed out from behind the tree, shouting, "What are you doing!" His voice echoed in the silent valley, sounding particularly harsh.

Yunniang and the man were startled by the sudden sound. They turned around and saw the Minister of Works standing behind them with an angry look on his face. His eyes were full of disappointment and anger, as if he wanted to pour out all his anger.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone present felt the tense atmosphere. The Minister of Industry, Yunniang, and the man were in a stalemate, as if it was a silent confrontation.

The anger of the Minister of Works was like a volcano about to erupt, and dangerous sparks flashed in his eyes. Yunniang looked panicked, her originally rosy face turned pale, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety. The man was also extremely embarrassed, he stood there at a loss, not knowing what to say.

This scene lasted for a long time, and was finally broken by the Minister of Industry. He looked at Yunniang and the man coldly, and said in a cold and firm voice: "I already know about your good deeds. Now, give me an explanation!"

His voice revealed an unquestionable determination, which made everyone present feel a strong sense of oppression.

Yunniang and the man looked at each other, they knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.

The man took a deep breath and tried to explain: "Minister of the Ministry of Works, you misunderstood. Yunniang and I just met by chance and went hiking together."

"Just climbing a mountain?" The Minister of Industry's voice became even colder. "Then how do you explain those intimate actions I saw?"

Yunniang regained her composure at this moment. She looked into the eyes of the Minister of Industry and said seriously, "What you see is not what you imagine. He and I are really just good friends. We just climb mountains and chat together."

At this moment, the Minister of Works could no longer bear it!
