Chapter 93
Chapter 93: Understand and eating failure
Lin Xiang reach the highest position in the government official because he is good in a debate. However, when it comes to womens tongue, he doesnt know how he will compete with them.
Additionally, he didnt expect that Lin Chujiu would act like this. So, he didnt prepare anything at all in advance!
Lin Xiang was thinking to use some righteous words to counterattack Lin Chujiu and make her responsible for Lin Wantings injury. However, Lin Chujiu suddenly wipe her eyes and acted like she was very shameful: Father, this daughter has been ignoring your teachings. And this daughters selfishness is too much. But, when I learn about what happened at home, I really got worried. So, can father forgive this daughter once and let me see my meimei?
After Lin Chujiu finished saying those words, she looks very honest and sincere.
Yea, talking about family affairs right now is really a selfish thing!
Lin Xiangs mind is not functioning any better, and this time, his face has slightly distorted, because
Once again, Lin Chujiu has blocked his plan. He wanted her to be accountable for Lin Wangtings injury, but his plan ended just like that. So seriously, her selfishness is too much!
Although Lin Chujiu is a princess, she is also a woman. And the women in this world are extremely demanding and selfish. But sometimes, they can also be forgiving.
Lin Chujius selfishness is acceptable and understandable. But, if its Lin Xiang, then its a different case. After all, he is not only a man but also a prime minister. So, if his selfishness will be exposed, then his political opponents wont let him go.
Lin Xiang is not so bored in life to eat such failure.
And because he doesnt want to eat such failure, Lin Xiang didnt dare to oppose Lin Chujius words. Instead, he look at her with a more dignified image and busily said: Wangfeis words are too heavy. Caring for your family is only normal. So, this, I can understand.
He not only want to avoid eating failure, but also want to bring Lin Chujiu a big hat (humiliation). But still, he feels like hes eating a fly, so he wants to vomit.
As long as my father can understand and doesnt blame me for being selfish. That is good enough. Lin Chujiu lifted up her handkerchief and patted the corner of her eyes with it. And soon, her eyes redden.
What an expert. Su Cha couldnt help but praise.
He thought Lin Chujiu were only pretending to cry. So, who would have thought that she can also make her eyes red, as if she was wronged.
Womens tears are a natural born weapons. But, if a woman tried to hold her tears, a person would felt even more distressed. Lin Chujiu didnt use her tears to gain the peoples sympathy, her tears didnt fall, but the people felt bad for no reason.
After controlling the situation again and again. Lin Chujiu now finally decided to get back to her business. Lin Chujiu turn around, then she looks at the people and started discussing their concern to Lin Xiang.
Father, these scholar students had gathered in front of the Xiao Wangfu and plead justice for these people. But, because Wangyes old disease reoccurred, he has no way to deal with them. And because I am woman, I dont understand political affairs. Im afraid that if I help them, I would only make things worst. So, I decided to bring these people in the Lin Fu and request fathers guidance.
Lin Chujiu said while watching Lin Xiangs facial expression. And in the end, she continues to say: I know father can get in trouble because of this, but I cant think of another way. They said the court officials corrupted the dead soldiers pension, causing their families to live in poverty. And because of helplessness, they even had to sell their children.
These old women cannot intervene with political affairs, but if its father, I know you can take care of this issue because you are faithful and devoted to our country. Father has taught me and my meimei to live with clean conscience, to not act arrogant and to not oppressed the other people. So, knowing that these people have grievances, I ventured and brought them here to ask for fathers help. Father, these peoples husband, brother and son died protecting our country. We cannot let those heroes die in vain.
Lin Chujiu said as if it were true that Lin Xiang doesnt put money above the others. And as if Lin Xiang is a selfless man that will sacrifice everything just to have a peace in the world.
Hearing all these, Lin Xiang tried to pull his skin in the face to smile.
He has long been working as a feather boy in the palace. So, these words wont make him feel moved
Hes not moved, but the ordinary people that were with the scholar students felt moved. The ordinary people started kneeling one by one on the ground and shouted: Prime Minister Lin, please help us seek justice.
Xiao Wangfeis words are right. We cannot let those soldiers die in vain,
The onlookers dont know what is going on, but they also join in and started shouting. The other scholar students know how fierce is the situation, so they didnt dare to shout. However, Liu Yongsheng
His real purpose is to destroy Xiao Tianyaos reputation. And this heated situation is his chance.
Liu Yongsheng kneels on the ground with a loud sound and shouted: Prime Minister Lin, please seek justice for our dead soldiers and reveal that the corrupted officials were our Eastern God of Wars people. Xiao Wangye is so powerful, so our court official doesnt dare to hear this case. So, please, Prime Minister Lin, open up a trial and sweep clean all those corrupt officials.
Liu Yongshengs real purpose is to engage Xiao Tianyao in this smelly corruption case. So that Lin Xiang wont get in trouble. And if Lin Xiang wont get in trouble, then he doesnt have to worry about himself.
There are several scholars students that want to follow what Liu Yongsheng did. But, its true that Xiao Wangye is powerful. So in the end, they didnt dare to kneel and shout. And only let Lin Xiang deal with him.
With the sudden reversal of the situation, the onlookers got dumbfounded.
Didnt Xiao Wangfei just plead for these people? So, how come in just a blink of an eye, she became like an evil creature that trying to oppress these people?
Many onlookers started whispering because they dont know whats really going on. Because of their reactions, Lin Xiang eyes suddenly light up and thought of something. Lin Xiang cough twice and raise his hand to indicate the people to keep quiet. The crowd immediately silence themselves due to curiosity.
Everyone rest assured, this official, has served the country for decades. Never trembled in fear and has a clear conscience. Ill dare not say that I have done so many things, but Ill dare to say that I wont sit idly and ignored this case. Whoever that person sitting behind this corruption, I, Lin Xiang will not be afraid to punish him according to the law.
All the people around Lin Xiang understand the meaning of his words. But, it seems Lin Chujiu didnt hear anything. After all, she agreed: Wangye said that father is an unselfish government official and a good model to all future generations, which is true. And because Father has such qualities, Xiao Wangye also said that father will definitely come forward to take this case and will pull out all those corrupt officials to throw them in the Yellow River.
*Puff*
Lin Xiang swallowed his saliva as his face flashed with a trace of embarrassment. However, he soon tried to be calm and said: Xiao Wangyes words are too heavy. This official receives salaries to the emperor, so its only normal to serve the country loyally. This praises from Xiao Wangye doesnt seem sound good.
Lin Xiang got upset and very disturbed. He and Xiao Tianyao are father and son-in-law. But, he tried accusing and shame him in public. However, Xiao Wangye did not. So, surely everyone will be doubtful.
I agree with what father says, government officials take the emperors money as a salary. So, they must serve this country loyally. This country belongs to the Emperor. All the people that live in this country is the Emperors subject. But those officials that have been authorized by the Emperor to serve his people only abuse their power. They didnt work hard in serving his people, they only seek fame and fortune. They should feel sorry for the Emperor. The Emperor trusted them so much, but they I think they should be beheaded!
Lin Chujiu tried to say those righteous words as representative of Xiao Wangfu. Which shows that Xiao Wangfu has a righteous attitude.
