Chapter 94: People and too early to be happy

“Very well, very well said!”

The listeners can’t completely understand what Lin Chujiu had said, but they know that her words are scolding those unfair government officials. On the other hand, Lin Xiang, Liu Yongsheng, and the other scholar students understand the meaning of her righteous words. Her words are about loyalty to Emperor. But in fact, she’s just helping Xiao Tianyao to get off from the corruption case while pushing all the blame to the Emperor and his chosen people.

This country belongs to the Emperor. The Emperor was the one who appointed those government officials after testing their loyalty to him. Meaning: the corruption issues happened because of the current Emperor’s chosen officials and not because of Xiao Wangye!

What a clever mouth, it’s really good in picking flattery words!

Lin Xiang can’t tell if it’s Lin Chujiu’s own words or Xiao Tianyao’s early teachings. So at that moment, his smart looking eyes couldn’t help but flash.

Lin Chujiu doesn’t know what was he’s thinking, so she only stood there while smiling. Her Phoenix coronet was shaking a bit, so he couldn’t tell if she really has this noble atmosphere or not, but he also couldn’t ignore looking.

No matter how much he thinks, he finds her very different from her usual self. He couldn’t believe that in such a short period of time, Xiao Wangye will be able to mold her.

It seems this daughter of him grew up in silence because he actually doesn’t know a thing about her!

Lin Xiang squinted his eyes, then he carefully examined Lin Chujiu. But in the end, he cannot think of any.

Is she only pretending to be this good or she really grow up like this?

Anyway, he no longer had a chance to repute her tongue. In the eyes of the people, Xiao Wangfu is now standing in highest moral. So, he could no longer drag them down.

Lin Xiang sighed lightly and turn his eyes away from Lin Chujiu. He no longer wants to have a battle of the tongue with her, so he turned his eyes to the crowd instead.

After her bitter and righteous words, Lin Chujiu no longer say anything and just remained silent. The ordinary people also remain in silence, only Liu Yongsheng and his group said a few words. But, it doesn’t mean that Lin Xiang can just send them away.

Lin Xiang knows very clearly that these people came in front of his mansion to solve the corruption issue. So, he has to say a few words regarding about that matter, if he really wants to get rid of them.

“Everyone,” Lin Xiang said while raising his hand to caught the people’s attentions: “Rest assured, I’ll make sure to present all the questions you asked one by one to the Imperial Court so that the truth will come to light immediately.”

Lin Xiang made sure his words sound so beautiful to the people.

But, as for finding the truth?

Why would he say the truth? Even if these people all die, he would never say the truth.

Hearing his words, Su Cha and Liu Bai almost fainted in anger. So, they wanted to come forward and talk to Lin Chujiu. But, Lin Chujiu suddenly said: “Father is truly a selfless man, unlike this daughter. I heard Lin Furen and Wanting meimei are seriously ill, so I’m afraid that father couldn’t take care all of the details regarding this matter while looking at them. So please let these few maidservants and guardsmen help you, just giving them some errand to do.”

After saying those words, Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to give Lin Xiang an opportunity to refuse. So, she turned around immediately and commanded: “You will all stay here and help my father. Wangye ordered to solve this matter. So, you don’t need to go back with me.”

Lin Chujiu’s command sounds so strange. She said that Xiao Wangye ordered to solve this matter, but who could go there to verify ah?

Lin Xiang’s eyes widen and busily refused: “Xiao Wangfei, the royal guard’s primary responsibility is to protect Xiao Wangye. So, how can they stay here?” Why would he let these group of people stay behind and watch his back ah?

“Father, I also don’t want to them to stay. But, the government officials work is too poor. Haven’t you seen that father?” Lin Chujiu sighed, then look at him with her eyes that saying: I’m only thinking about you.

“Early this morning, I asked Housekeeper Cao to look for Magistrate Shun Tian to help us deal with this matter. However, we didn’t even see his shadow in the Xiao Wangfu. Earlier, before I left the Xiao Wangfu, I also sent some people to look for him to maintain order in this place, but still, no one came. So, it seems Magistrate Shun Tian is very busy.”

Reporting and asking for help is the right thing to do. But, because the government officials were too busy. She has no other way but to use the royal guards to help her father: “Father, I’m sure Wangye would also do the same. So, don’t hesitate and just call them. Although they are clumsy at times, I’m sure they can help father with some errands.

Lin Chujiu’s words were full of lies, but she needed to say those things so that Lin Xiang couldn’t refuse. In fact, Magistrate Shun Tian is so confused so he couldn’t differentiate white from black. But, if Xiao Wangfu’s guardsmen will really stay in Lin Fu, it will really be a bad thing.

“Xiao Wangfei, if you will leave your maidservants and guardsmen here, who will protect you?” Lin Xiang also put a masked of a caring father. He looks at her with full of worries so he doesn’t want to agree.

However, when it comes to acting, Lin Chujiu is also not his opponent.

“Father, you don’t have to worry. I am standing in the Imperial Capital where the Emperor lives, so who would dare to bring chaos. As for the maidservants? This daughter still has her hands, so I can take care of myself.” The first half of her words is a lie, but the last part is true. However, no one believes it.

“This… … how can you say that? You are a princess. You don’t need to take care of yourself. I’ll ask your mother to arrange a few maidservants to take care of you.” Lin Xiang said because he also wanted to leave some of his people to Xiang Wangfu.

However, Lin Chujiu bluntly refused: “Thank you, father, for your care. But, if you will lend me a few maidservants, they will only be sent back right away. Wangye has always been so thrifty, that’s why I only have four maidservants. So if you will add some more. Wangye will definitely be unhappy.”

Lin Chujiu was only lying, but her words made Su Cha and Liu Bai dumbfounded. And the two them can’t help but think: Tianyao is that stingy?

However, Lin Xiang doesn’t want to give up, so he also said: “But, they were only filling the absence of your maidservants. They will go back once your maidservants return.”

“Father, there’s no need for such trouble. But, if you really need to send those maidservants, you can send them to Cien Hall instead. There were lots of children that need to be taken care of there than me.” Cien Hall is a place where abandon babies and children were sent, that place… … is a total mess due to lack of manpower. So, what Lin Chujiu said is right.

Lin Xiang was blocked by Lin Chujiu twice in a row, so he couldn’t help but get angry. However, he couldn’t accuse her of being an unfilial daughter. Lin Chujiu might be his daughter, but now, she is Xiao Wangfei. Her attitude and action are self-evident that she won Xiao Wangye’s heart. So, how can he just easily snap his anger to her?

Lin Xiang took a deep breath and slowly suppress his anger. He no longer wants to drag this matter, so he said: “Xiao Wangye is truly principled. If the Emperor will know this, he will surely be happy. Then, this official will shamelessly borrow Xiao Wangye’s guardsmen.”

AfterLin Xiang realized that he cannot refuse, he immediately wears the big hat (big humiliation) that Xiao Tianyao has prepared. Lin Chujiu only laughed in silence and didn’t answer, because… …

She knows that this trick and hat that she had used, will certainly… …
