When Cao Lin woke up, he didn't get burned. As long as the wounds on his body were taken care of, they would no longer be festering and swollen like before, and there would be no more problems.
Cao Lin is fine. Butler Cao is grateful to Lin Chujiu from the bottom of his heart, and he does everything he can to the things Lin Chujiu explained, and strive to be perfect must satisfy Lin Chujiu.
Posting notices, beating gongs and drums to send copper coins, butler Cao made this matter quite high-profile, but in just one day, it became known to everyone. Early the next day, the imperial censor impeached Lin Xiangqiang for corruption, and impeached Lin Xiangqiang for buying and selling by force.
Dozens of servants sell one thousand taels of silver
Do you think your servants are covered with gold or inlaid with silver
Mr. Lin was scolded by the censor, and tried his best to explain that the servant did not sell so much silver. The reason why he gave Xiao Wangfu a thousand taels of silver was because he was afraid that Xiao Wang would not be able to find a satisfactory servant without the silver. He subsidized some privately himself.
Lin Xiangchuan would try to figure out the emperor's heart, he knew that the emperor would not take Lin Chujiu's daughter seriously, and the emperor cared about Xiao Tianyao. Therefore, regarding the matter of returning and selling the dowry, Lin Xiangzai never mentioned Lin Chujiu, only Xiao Tianyao.
The censor scolded Lin Xiang, and Lin Xiang cried and complained that there was nothing he could do. The son-in-law's status is higher than him. No matter what the son-in-law says or does, he can only bear it. He just wants to satisfy Xiao Wang, and he has no idea that things will turn out like this.
As for corruption and bribery, it is even more unjust. He has been an official for more than 20 years, no matter how low his salary is, he still has one thousand taels of silver.
The imperial censor also said that it is useless for you to explain to us. Now the people in the whole capital know that the servants of the Lin family are Jingui. A 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 spit out a mouthful of old blood. He didn't dare to argue, so he knelt down on the spot, bang bang bang kowtow, and said that it was all his fault. Never send silver to Xiao Wangfu.
Yes, he knew that Xiao Wangye would directly tear his face with the Lin Mansion. He would rather take that suffocating loss and let someone point his nose to scold him, rather than send the silver to Xiao Wangfu, trying to beat Xiao Wang in the face to please the emperor. rejoice.
In the end, he didn't hit King Xiao in the face, but he himself got a fishy mess.
Although Xiao Tianyao leads troops all the year round, it does not mean that there is no one to speak for him in the court. As soon as Lin Xiangji's shameless words came out, some people who did not like him stepped forward and pointed at Lin Xiang's nose and scolded:
"The daughter-in-law brought the dowry to Prince Xiao's mansion, but left the deed of betrayal in the Lin mansion. Is there any reason for your Lin family? Turn around the dowry and sell it, and then use the money to beat your son-in-law in the face, what's your Lin family's reason? You? The Lin family is so shameless, and they say that others have done something wrong? This old man really doubts, how on earth did you become prime minister, Lin Xiang."
The white-haired old official who spoke was surnamed Zhou Mingzheng, a veteran of the two dynasties, Zhongzheng was famous for his uprightness, and even the emperor wanted to give him three points of face.
Lin Xiang did not expect that Lord Zhou, who has always been neutral, would come forward to speak for Xiao Tianyao, and he would speak so unbearably about him, his face immediately turned bad, and he was ashamed to see others.
Upon seeing this, officials from Lin Xiang’s lineage immediately stepped forward to explain to Lin Xiang, saying that everything was a misunderstanding. Mrs. Lin came from a big family. Hidden feelings, don't be deceived by Zhou Da.
After listening to Master Zhou, he just snorted coldly. He didn't say any more after saying that, and returned to his original position honestly.
Below, a group of officials were making a noise, obviously it was just a housework, but these people abruptly mentioned the political height, the emperor looked at the people who were arguing below, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
He was not afraid of courtiers quarreling, he was worried that these people would not quarrel, he wanted to see how many people were on Xiao Tianyao's side.
It was a good morning, and nothing serious was settled. He was arguing about this mess between the Lin family and Xiao Wang's mansion.
But it is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework. There is a reason for this matter, how can it be so easy to distinguish. Fortunately, the emperor did not think about clearing the matter. After the two sides quarreled about the same, the emperor each fought fifty boards, fined Lin Xiang to think behind closed doors for half a month, and fined Xiao Tianyao one month's salary.
After Xiao Tianyao received the news, he didn't even raise his eyebrows.
The prince's salary is not low, but he has to rely on his salary to live, and he can't afford to support the people in the palace. Punishing the salary is a trivial matter, and it is just right to lose face.
After receiving the news, Xiao Tianyao called Lin Chujiu again, but this time Xiao Tianyao did not use coercion to intimidate Lin Chujiu, and only told her the emperor's punishment.
After speaking, Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu and said, "Do you regret it?"
Tomorrow will be the day when Lin Chujiu enters the palace to thank her. Lin Chujiu has lost the face of Lin Mansion. In order to please the beauties, the prince will definitely trouble Lin Chujiu.
"No regrets." Lin Chujiu replied without hesitation.
Even if she doesn't do anything, the emperor and the queen will not make things difficult for her. Whoever calls her Princess Xiao and whoever calls her to marry a man is a thorn in the emperor's heart.
"It's fine if you don't regret it. You know what will happen tomorrow. Don't let this king have any reason to break your hands." Xiao Tianyao told Lin Chujiu, no matter what happened to Lin Chujiu in the palace tomorrow. , he will not help Lin Chujiu come forward. But if Lin Chujiu loses the face of Xiao Wangfu, he will definitely not let Lin Chujiu go.
Lin Chujiu knew for a long time that Xiao Tianyao would not help him, so he was not disappointed, but there is one thing to ask: "I was bullied, can I fight back?"
"When you enter the palace, you represent the face of this king." In other words, Lin Chujiu can't lose his face in anything he does. As for what Lin Chujiu does, that's Lin Chujiu's business.
However, Lin Chujiu heard it in her ears, that is: whoever bullies her, she will bully her back. She can't lose the reputation of Xiao Wangfu, and Xiao Tianyao will bear the consequences.
Lin Chujiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Let's go out." Xiao Tianyao didn't want to think too much, he believed that Lin Chujiu was smart and cherished his life.
Lin Chujiu went out and sighed fiercely. If it wasn't for maintaining the image of the princess in front of the servants, Lin Chujiu really wanted to scream twice to vent his dissatisfaction.
Xiao Tianyao is really annoying, he wants the horse to run without giving the horse grass to eat. She was not allowed to lose the face of Prince Xiao's mansion, but she refused to help her, she really thought she was a god!
Besides, even God has times when he loses his hand. The palace is someone else's territory. Although her status is high, she is not the highest. After entering the palace, she doesn't know how she will be bullied.
Lin Chujiu returned to her yard with a gloomy face. She found that every time she went to see Xiao Tianyao, she would be sulking when she came back. She and Xiao Tianyao definitely clashed.
When the four maids saw Lin Chujiu's expression hesitant, they didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so they could only give Lin Chujiu clothes and jewelry, hoping that Lin Chujiu would be happy for seeing the beautiful clothes and jewelry.
There is no woman who does not love beautiful clothes and jewelry, and Lin Chujiu also loves it, but when she thinks of the problems she may face when entering the palace tomorrow, Lin Chujiu has a headache...
However, the only thing fortunate is that she can't die, because she is Princess Xiao!
