Chapter 38

Cao Lin woke up. He was not burned. As long as he kept his wounds well, he would not have any more problems.

Cao Lin is OK. Steward Cao is grateful to Lin Chujiu from the bottom of his heart. He does his best to do what Lin Chujiu tells him. He strives to be perfect and must satisfy Lin Chujiu.

Zhang Bangbang put up a notice, beat gongs and drums to give copper money. Steward Cao made a high profile of this matter, but in one day, it was widely known. The next morning, the censor impeached Lin Xiang for corruption, and impeached him to buy and sell.

Dozens of servants sell one thousand taels of silver?

Do you think your family has gold or silver?

Lord Lin was scolded by the censor and tried his best to explain that the servant didn't sell so much silver. The reason why he gave King Xiao 1000 liang of silver was that he was afraid that King Xiao would not find a suitable servant without silver, so he made up for it in private.

Lin Xiang is used to guessing the heart of Mo Di. He knows that the emperor will not take Lin Chujiu as a woman. What the emperor cares about is Xiao TIANYAO. Therefore, when it comes to the dowry's return and sale, Lin Xiang never mentions Lin Chunjiu, but only Xiao TIANYAO.

When the censor scolded Lin Xiang, he cried that he had no way. The status of his son-in-law was higher than that of him. No matter what his son-in-law said or did, he could only accept it. He just wanted to satisfy King Xiao, and he didn't know that things would turn out like this.

As for corruption and bribery, it is even more unjust. He has been an official for more than 20 years. Even if his salary is lower, he still has a thousand taels of silver.

The censor also said that it's useless for you to explain to us. Now all the people in the capital know that the Lin family's servants are valuable. One servant is worth hundreds of taels of silver. How many taels of silver do they sell their sons and daughters?

When Lin Xiang heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't dare to argue. He knelt down on the spot and kowtowed. He said it was all his fault. He didn't expect that Lord Xiao would do it. He knew that he would never send the money to King Xiao's house.

Yes, I knew that Lord Xiao would directly tear his face with Lin's house. He would rather eat that boring loss and let people point their noses and scold him than send the money to King Xiao's house to try to beat King Xiao's face to please the emperor.

The result didn't hit Xiao Wang's face, but he provoked a body of fishy.

Although Xiao TIANYAO has been leading the army all the year round, it doesn't mean that there is no one to speak for him in the court. As soon as Lin Xiang's shameless words come out, some people who don't like him come forward and point to Lin Xiang's nose and scold him

"The dowry my daughter brought to King Xiao's house left the contract of selling herself in Lin's house. Is there any reason for your Lin family? Turn around the dowry servant and sell it. Turn around and beat your son-in-law's face with silver. Is there any reason for your Lin family? You Lin family shameless to this point, also said that others have done wrong? I really doubt how you became prime minister, Prime Minister Lin

The white haired old minister, whose surname was Zhou Mingzheng, was a senior official of the two dynasties. Zhongzheng was so upright that even the emperor wanted to give him a third face.

Lin Xiang didn't expect that Mr. Zhou, who has always been neutral, would come forward to speak for Xiao TIANYAO. He said that he was so unbearable that his face was not good immediately. He was green and white, and was ashamed to see others.

Seeing this, the officials of Lin Xiang's first department immediately went forward to explain to Lin Xiang, saying that everything was a misunderstanding. Mrs. Lin came from a big family. How could she hold off the deed of sale of her daughter's dowry? There must be some secret. Don't be fooled by Zhou Da.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou just hummed coldly. After he said that, he didn't say much and returned to his original position honestly.

At the bottom, a group of officials make a lot of noise, which is clearly just a household chore. However, these people are forced to raise the political level. The emperor looks at the noisy people at the bottom, and there is a chill in his eyes.

He was not afraid of the noise of the courtiers. He was worried that these people would not make a noise. He wanted to see how many people were on Xiao TIANYAO's side.

It's a good early Dynasty. There's nothing serious to be discussed. It's just a quarrel between the Lin family and King Xiao's house. It's very difficult to distinguish right from wrong and never give up.

But it's hard for honest officials to break the housework. There's a reason for this. It's not so easy to distinguish. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't want to break up the matter. When the two sides had a similar quarrel, the emperor punished Lin Xiang for half a month's silence and Xiao TIANYAO for one month's salary.

After Xiao TIANYAO received the news, he didn't even raise his eyebrow.

The prince's salary is not low, but he depends on the salary to live, he can't afford to support the people in the palace. It's a small matter to punish the salary, but it's the right thing to lose his face.

After receiving the news, Xiao TIANYAO called Lin Chujiu, but this time he did not threaten Lin Chujiu any more, only told her the emperor's treatment.

After that, Xiao TIANYAO looked at Lin Chujiu and said, "do you regret it?"

Tomorrow is the day when Lin Chujiu enters the palace to thank for his kindness. Lin Chujiu loses the face of Lin Fu. In order to please the beauty, the crown prince will find Lin Chujiu in trouble.

"No regrets." Lin Chujiu replied without hesitation.

Even if she did nothing, the emperor and the queen would not make trouble for her. Who told her to be princess Xiao and who told her to marry a man was a thorn in the emperor's heart.

"If you don't regret it, you should know what happened tomorrow. Don't let me have reason to break your hands." Xiao TIANYAO told Lin Chujiu that no matter what happened to him in the Palace tomorrow, he would not help him. But if Lin Chujiu lost the face of King Xiao's house, he would not let Lin Chujiu go.

Lin Chujiu had known for a long time that Xiao TIANYAO would not help him. He was not disappointed, but he had one thing to ask clearly: "if I am bullied, can I fight back?"

"When you enter the palace, you represent the face of the king." In other words, Lin can't do anything without losing his face. As for how Lin wants to do it, that's Lin's business.

However, Lin Chujiu heard that whoever bullies her, she will bully her back. She can't ruin the reputation of King Xiao's house. Xiao TIANYAO will bear the consequences.

Lin Chujiu nodded to show that he understood.

"Get out." Xiao TIANYAO doesn't want to think much. He believes that Lin Chujiu is clever and cherishes his life.

Lin Chujiu goes out and breathes heavily. If he doesn't have to maintain the image of the princess in front of the servants, Lin Chujiu really wants to shout twice to vent his dissatisfaction.

Xiao TIANYAO is so annoying that he wants the horse to run and doesn't feed it. Don't allow her to lose the face of King Xiao's house, but don't want to help her, really think she is a god!

Besides, even God sometimes fails. The imperial palace is someone else's territory. Although she has a high status, she is not the highest. I don't know how to be bullied after entering the palace.

Lin Chujiu returns to her yard with a depressed face. She finds that every time she goes to see Xiao TIANYAO, she will be sulky when she comes back. She and Xiao TIANYAO absolutely contradict each other.

Seeing that Lin Chujiu's face was not smooth, the four servant girls didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. They could only give Lin Chujiu clothes and jewelry. They hoped that Lin Chujiu would be happy to see the beautiful clothes and jewelry.

There are no women who don't like beautiful clothes and jewelry. Lin Chujiu also loves them. But when he thinks about the problems he may face when he enters the Palace tomorrow, Lin Chujiu has a headache

However, the only thing to be thankful for is that she can't die because she is Princess Xiao!
