Chapter 92: Sincerity and selfishness

After a.n.a.lyzing the situation, Lin Xiang had guess right Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s intention. However, he put all the blame to Xiao Tianyao instead of Lin Chujiu.

After all, Lin Xiang can’t simply believe that his stupid daughter will have such bright a mind.

Seeing Lin Xiang just standing motionless, the servant tried to open his mouth cautiously: “Laoye, Eldest Miss is waiting for you outside. Are you going to see her?”

“What eldest miss? Call her Xiao w.a.n.gfei!” Lin Xiang said when he recovered his mind. But this time, his face becomes more ugly.

Seriously, he can’t believe that his daughter could be easily manipulated by Xiao w.a.n.gye. What a foolish girl! He simply can’t accept that he has such a daughter.

“Yes, yes, Xiao w.a.n.gfei is still outside. Should I tell her to come in?” The servant busily said while burying his head in his chest.

“You don’t have to.” Lin Xiang straighten his clothes, then added: “This prime minister will go personally. But, while I’m meeting with them, go and tell Magistrate Shun Tian to send his troop.” Although there is 9 out of 10 chance that he won’t send troops. Lin Xiang still need to try doing what he can.

Lin Xiang was about to go out, but Lin Furen suddenly came: “Laoye, what happened? I heard Lin Chujiu brought a bunch of people outside and they were blocking our gate. What is wrong with her?”

Lin Furen‘s face was full of sorrow, and her beautiful eyes were in tears. So, Lin Xiang tried to lessen his anger and said: “You don’t have to worry. Things will be alright.” Lin Xiang is the head of the family, so naturally, he should be the one to argue with those people outside. And the women only need to stay inside the house.

But, because things don’t look good outside, Lin Furen said: “Laoye, be careful. That child Lin Chujiu doesn’t have a heart. Ever since she was young, she only causes you trouble. So, you don’t need to care for her, because she’s doing it intentionally.” Is Lin Furen deliberately trying to tainted Lin Chujiu’s image? How heartless!

But, not really. Because Lin Chujiu’s action was real. She really wanted to drag down her father with the help of Xiao Tianyao.

The corner of Lin Xiang’s mouth started pumping, but he still nodded his head and said: “Furen rest a.s.sured. I know.”

After hearing his response, Lin Furen stepped aside to give way to Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang cannot let Lin Chujiu have more courage. So, he only opens the door to side gate instead of the main gate.

When the side door was open, the atmosphere is very low, unlike when Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s gate was opened. And when Lin Chujiu came out to the main gate, she looks so elegant. But in here, when Lin Xiang came out, he only has a very simple expression.

However, in actuality, when he saw all the people outside his gate. His head started aching. The people outside cannot wait for him to speak, so they dared to open their mouth immediately: “Prime Minister Lin came out!”

“Prime Minister, Prime Minister… … Prime Minister Lin!”

The group of troublemaker shouted his name, but they didn’t cause trouble. Lin Chujiu herself didn’t cause any. But, the other people outside busily watch them.

Xiao w.a.n.gfu is located in the Imperial Capital. A place where the n.o.ble family lives. So ordinary people couldn’t past in it. In addition, Xiao w.a.n.gye is known for being fierce, so no one really dares to come.

However, Lin Fu is different. Although Lin Xiang is the prime minister, their mansion looks far different to a n.o.ble mansion. They are also located at the farthest part of Imperial Capital. So, the street next to them is usually lively.

Lin Chujiu brought a lot of people in the street. Their exact number is unknown. But because Lin Xiang’s image is known for being refined and friendly. The people don’t fear him. Unlike Xiao w.a.n.gye who is all high and mighty.

With only those trait of personalities, Lin Xiang successfully won the heart of the ordinary people. But at this moment, Lin Xiang hated that thing called “Heart”.

“Quiet, everyone please be quiet.” Lin Fu’s servant came forward to maintain the order. But because his throat seems to hurt, he only barely manages to quiet down the ordinary people.

So, how did Lin Chujiu manage to drag all these people here?

And at this moment too, all the scholar students had a red face due to embarra.s.sment. They simply couldn’t lift up their face.

Because right now, in the eyes of the other people, they definitely look like a monkey. They have a very thick skin, but they also extremely love their image as scholar students.

In front of the Lin Fu, Lin Chujiu were no longer planning to control them. So, when she saw Lin Xiang came out. She came forward and said: “This daughter greets father.”

“Xiao w.a.n.gfei is too courteous. This old one is getting terrified.” Lin Xiang busily said. And in return to Lin Chujiu’s greetings, he said: “This old one is so glad to see Xiao w.a.n.gfei.”

Lin Chujiu naturally go along with him, so she replied: “Father, you absolutely shouldn’t. I maybe Xiao w.a.n.gfei now, but I am still your daughter. So, how can I not pay respect?”

No matter what they really feel inside. The two of them still made an excellent job. So, if a person will see them, that person will think that they really like a filial father and daughter.

“Why do I feel sick?” Liu Bai who is standing in the crowd said. And to make things more exaggerated, he covers up his face.

In order to protect Lin Chujiu, Liu Bai was sent out. So, whether he likes her or not, he has a duty to protect her. He cannot let Lin Chujiu get into an accident.

On the other hand, Su Cha couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Lin Chujiu and Lin Xiang’s performance. He’s worried that Lin Chujiu might suffer. But, it seems, if Lin Xiang is an old fox, Lin Chujiu is a baby fox.

The father and daughter exchange their greeting for a long time. In the eyes of the outsider, they seem like a loving father and daughter. But, to those people who know the truth, they know that it was only a hypocrite ceremony.

Lin Xiang ask Lin Chujiu’s conditions again and again. Because he couldn’t think another word. Lin Chujiu did the same, she asks things about the house again and again because she couldn’t think of another topic.

However, they can’t go on like this. Because there were people that were waiting for them outside.

Although there was a saying that who calls first will win. Lin Xiang didn’t expose his urgency. Because he also believes in the word called: “preemptive attack”.

And since Lin Xiang is not in the hurry, Lin Chujiu bluntly attack first.

Lin Chujiu heard that when Lin Wanting visited the Xiao w.a.n.gfu, her condition got worse. Because of that, Lin Chujiu took out her handkerchief and wipe her eyes, even though there were no tears: “How can Wanting meimei be so careless ah? Didn’t she know that she could get a scar on her forehead? Isn’t she worried to get that?”

Lin Chujiu tried to make another opening: “Although it was really Wanting meimei’s fault because she didn’t walk properly. I and Xiao w.a.n.gye couldn’t sit still. So, we ask Divine Doctor Mo if he could check Wanting meimei’s face. We also ask him if he could give her some ointment. Wanting meimei’s face look so beautiful, so we cannot let her face have a scar.”

After hearing her words, Lin Xiang’s mouth keeps twitching. After all, he couldn’t believe that his eldest daughter is not only foolish but also have a clever tongue. Lin Chujiu did not only expose that Lin Wanting’s face could have a scar but also tried to take responsibility. Because of this… …

A person couldn’t simply respond!
