Chapter 319: Destruction, Princelings

Divine Doctor Mo killed himself out of guilt and died in the prison. The Emperor wanted to erase all this fact. He wanted to suppress the fact about Divine Doctor Mo drugging himself because of the issue in the Southern Country. But, some people refused to let him succeed.

First, to save his daughter’s reputation, Lin Xiang secretly spread what happened to Divine Doctor Mo. Followed by Imperial Doctor Qin, as soon as he sees an opportunity. When the issue in the Southern Country came out, many more insiders follow. Divine Doctor Mo can no longer keep his good reputation.

Divine Doctor Mo has already died, but rumors about him in the capital hasn’t faded. Instead, the rumor became even more and more dramatic. The government officials were forced to investigate the case again because of the pressure.

Divine Doctor Mo was dead, but his disciples were still in the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple ordered all the disciples to defend Divine Doctor Mo, but… …

Divine Doctor Mo was already dead. They lost the only person they could rely on. So, what good will it bring if they still argue?

Originally, when some people heard the news that Divine Doctor Mo died, they wanted to help out. But soon, an iron evidence that Divine Doctor Mo abusedly drug people explode. Because of that, those people who wanted to help retreat. They don’t want to be dragged in this muddy water.

No one was defending and there was a conclusive evidence. So even if Divine Doctor Mo committed suicide to gain the people’s sympathy, he was still bearing a bad stigma. He could no longer make the people ignorant.

The Dali Temple tried hard to conceal Divine Doctor Mo’s crime, but his crime was exposed to so many people.

*

The matter regarding Divine Doctor Mo’s crime attracted many people’s attention. Even Xiao Tianyao’s visit to the Meng Family failed to calm the storm. After his visit became a big sensation on the same day, by the third day, it was replaced by Divine Doctor Mo’s issue once again, but… …

Ordinary people may not care, but it doesn’t mean the higher level officials will also pay no attention. Xiao Tianyao’s purpose in visiting the Meng Family was still a mystery. Everyone, including the emperor, doesn’t believe that Xiao Tianyao will go to the Meng Family only to pick up Lin Chujiu. They all believe that Xiao Tianyao had another purpose.

And because they couldn’t find anything from Xiao Tianyao’s side. They all sent spies to go to the Meng Family. However, they didn’t find any valuable information, they only found out that Lin Wanting make a fool of herself in front of Xiao w.a.n.gye.

Everyone was still not satisfied, so they sent people to buy information to Tiancang Pavilion. Tiancang Pavilion received several business orders in just one day to investigate Xiao Tianyao’s real purpose, but they also failed to find a different news.

While checking the matter out, they only felt that Xiao Tianyao was only trying to destroy the marriage between the Crown Prince and Lin Wanting.

Anyone in the capital who has a connection in the palace knew that the Crown Prince and Lin Xiang’s second daughter were engaged. And if Lin Wanting was not only too young, they were afraid that the crown prince has already ask Lin Xiang’s daughter in marriage.

But now, Lin Xiang’s second daughter not only made a fool of herself in front of Xiao w.a.n.gye but also accused of seducing him. Under such shameful circ.u.mstances, will the crown prince still marry Lin Wanting?

No need to ask the crown prince, because anyone who will know the matter, will not let their son marry Lin Xiang’s second daughter.

Lin Xiang’s second daughter played a little trick, but how can this little trick of her escaped the eyes of the old foxes. Not to mention, they were not government officials, they don’t need to judge the situation with evidence, they only need a bit sense of doubt.

Although Lin Wanting repeatedly denied the accusation, the old foxes knew very clearly that Xiao w.a.n.gfei did not falsely accuse her. Lin Xiang’s second daughter really fell in love with Xiao w.a.n.gye and was thinking that after she became a concubine, she can become her successor once her eldest sister died.

Such a heartless woman will do anything to be the next imperial princess.

This news almost spread among the n.o.bles and high government officials. Several of these officials looked at Lin Xiang strangely. Lin Xiang couldn’t understand the situation until the emperor told him that Lin Wanting could no longer marry into the imperial family. Lin Xiang was so shocked and tried to find out what happened. After investigating, he found out that it was because of Lin Wanting again.

Lin Xiang was so ashamed and angry. Last time, he reprimanded Lin Wanting because she entangled herself to Xiao w.a.n.gye. He didn’t even give Lin Furen a face for not teaching her properly. However, it seemed Lin Wanting didn’t learn anything. She didn’t change, rather, she made such a shameful act again.

Lin Xiang was so angry and rushed to Lin Furen’s room: “Have you seen what your good daughter did? She made our Lin Family lost a face.”

“What happened? What did Chujiu do this time?” Lin Furen’s face was full of shock, but it never came to her mind that it might have been Lin Wanting. Lin Wanting was staying in the Meng Family to show her filial piety. She was with her grandmother in these past few days, which shows that she was teaching her properly.

“Chujiu? Chujiu is Xiao w.a.n.gfei, why would she do something like that? It’s your daughter Wanting. She entangled herself to Xiao w.a.n.gye again. And it spread all over the capital.” Lin Xiang’s old face turn red in anger. Last time, he got so angry in Xiao w.a.n.gfu that he tried to embarra.s.s them.

He thought Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s people were trying to frame Lin Wanting. But now, it seemed that was something she actually asked for.

“How, how is that possible? How did Wanting meet Xiao w.a.n.gye in the Meng Family?” Lin Furen just stood up but fell back into the chair in shock.

“What is impossible? Right now, everyone is saying that my second daughter is shameless.” Fortunately, Lin Wanting was not in the house, otherwise, he will definitely slap her face.

At first, because Lin Chujiu keeps chasing after the crown prince, his colleagues keep saying that he taught his daughter how to be bold.

But now, Lin Wanting was also doing the same. This was simply shaming Lin Family’s face.

“There must be a misunderstanding here. How can Wanting do such a thing? It be must be Xiao w.a.n.gfei, she must have framed Wanting.” Lin Furen doesn’t believe that her daughter will be so stupid to do that. She has been teaching her. Although she hadn’t learned a lot of things, she was sure she learned at least 8 to 9 points. So, it was absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing.

Lin Xiang certainly considered this matter. Lin Chujiu must have push Lin Wanting to do such an ugly thing, but… …

“Even if Xiao w.a.n.gfei framed Wanting, what do you think happened to Wanting’s reputation now? Her reputation has been ruined. When the Emperor received the news, he revealed to me the list of marriage candidate for the crown prince. Wanting’s name was not on that list.” This part was Lin Xiang hated the most.

He had done a lot of things for the crown prince, but now they were saying his daughter was not on the list?

He doesn’t know how many colleagues of him would laugh at him.

“The crown prince, he, he had always like Wanting. How can he not marry Wanting?” Lin Furen felt like her surrounding was spinning, so she grabbed the table to support herself: “Laoye, it must be Chujiu. She doesn’t want Wanting to marry the Crown Prince. She was afraid that Wanting position will be higher than her in the future.”

“Not only Chujiu, but Xiao w.a.n.gye also partic.i.p.ated in this. Xiao w.a.n.gye doesn’t want us to have a close relations.h.i.+p with the crown prince. Xiao w.a.n.gye wants to break apart my backing.” Right now, he firmly believed that Xiao Tianyao went to the Meng Family to destroy Lin Wanting’s marriage to the crown prince. He doesn’t want the Lin Family to have a firm connection to the crown prince.

“My Wanting, why her life is so bitter?” Lin Furen was really so sad this time. What her husband said was true, now that Lin Wanting’s reputation was ruined, no one will be willing to marry her in the capital.

Lin Furen was heartbroken, but Lin Xiang was not in the mood to soothe her feelings. After getting angry, he tried making calculations: “You go and enter the palace tomorrow to visit the Empress. We cannot allow ourselves to eat such a big loss.”

His opportunity to have a bigger connection to the royal family was cut off. Lin Xiang’s heart was in so much pain that he also felt his lungs and stomach were hurting. What he was worried about this time the most was, the crown prince might resent him and make things difficult for him… …
