Princess Medical Doctor - Chapter 876: False affection, that unfamiliar white-eyed wolf
Madam Lin and Lin Wanting were stunned in place, their faces turned blue and white. Although they had been prepared in their hearts, they still couldn't accept that they have to bow their heads and salute Lin Chujiu.
It was always them who stepped on Lin Chujiu, and it was always them who played around at Lin Chujiu. Even after Lin Chujiu married Prince Xiao, they still didn't take Lin Chujiu seriously, they still looked at Lin Chujiu with a superior attitude, but now?
Now they were asked to salute Lin Chujiu, bowing their heads to Lin Chujiu, how can they accept this?
Even if they knew in their hearts that there was no other way, they couldn't do it if they wanted them to bow to Lin Chujiu, at least not yet.
On the contrary, Prime Minister Lin's only son stepped forward like a gentleman, and bowed to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu solemnly: "This lowly one has seen wangye and wangfei." There was no trace of dissatisfaction or embarrassment in his words.
Looking at this strange half-brother, Lin Chujiu sighed in her heart: What a good child, but his life is ruined by such a hard-working father like Prime Minister Lin.
Xiao Tianyao glanced at Lin Chujiu. Seeing that Lin Chujiu didn't dislike this young man from the Lin family, he said lightly: "You may excuse, sit down." If his wife hates him, he will not give him face; But since she didn't hate him, he doesn't need to embarrass the other party.
"Thank you, wangye and wangfei." The young master of the Lin Family responded with neither humble nor overbearing, and retreated to Prime Minister Lin's side, completely ignoring the embarrassing mother and sister behind him. He looked a little dull, and Lin Chujiu couldn't help but smile.
Smart people were good, but there were too many smart people around her, and it was too tiring to deal with smart people. It was really interesting to meet a dumb boy by chance.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu didn't even look at Madam Lin and Lin Wanting who were standing aside, hesitating whether to accept the salute, and they sat down directly in the upper seats.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Lin turned his head, gave them a hard look, and then stepped forward with a smile on his face, chatting with Prince Xiao.
Madam Lin and Lin Wanting was extremely embarrassed. Standing in the same spot, it was wrong to move forward, and neither was it to retreat.
Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao didn't talk to Prime Minister Lin for too long. He took Prime Minister Lin and the young master of the Lin family to the study room and asked Lin Chujiu to entertain Madam Lin and Lin Wanting.
"Shall we go to the Flower Hall?" Lin Chujiu got up and asked politely. Before Madam Lin and Lin Wanting could speak, she ordered her servants to go to the greenhouse to set up the tables and chairs.
Madam Lin and Lin Wanting looked embarrassed, but they had to keep up.
The three of them came to the Flower Hall, and the servants had already set up the tables, chairs, and refreshments. Lin Chujiu said "Sit", and then sat down on the main seat.
"Thank you, Wangfei." Mrs. Lin squeezed out four words with difficulty, but Lin Wanting couldn't say a word, her pretty face flushed red.
Lin Chujiu acted as if she hadn't seen it, sat down calmly, and then sipped tea and snacks on her own, completely ignoring Madam Lin and Lin Wanting.
When Madam Lin and Lin Wanting saw this, they were grateful and anxious at the same time. They were glad that Lin Chujiu didn't embarrass them, and they were anxious not knowing how to intercede.
They have never begged for anyone since they were born. Even if they want to please the Crown Prince, the Empress, and Imperial Concubine Zhou, they don't need to put down their figures, but today they have to put down their figures and beg someone they despise.
Lin Wanting and Madam Lin struggled in their hearts for a long time and wanted to open their mouths to provoke the topic several times, but when they saw Lin Chujiu's face which seemed to be brimming with happiness, they couldn't open their mouths.
Lin Wanting and Madam Lin wanted something from others but couldn't open their mouths. Of course, Lin Chujiu would not openly ask for it. She didn't want to entertain the Lin family. If they didn't ask, Lin Chujiu was happy to be at ease.
Unlike Lin Chujiu's deserted atmosphere, as soon as Prime Minister Lin came to the study, he took the initiative to talk to Xiao Tianyao about the political affairs of the court and pointed out who the Emperor had placed in the sixth department and who belonged to the Empress's faction without any trace. And who was close to Imperial Concubine Zhou.
Of course, Prime Minister Lin will not miss this opportunity to tell Xiao Tianyao how much power he has in the court.
Prime Minister Lin has been close to the Emperor for nearly twenty years and has always been favored by the Emperor. It was not difficult for him to install people. The water in the capital was muddy, and the real power and official positions were controlled by the aristocratic family, but it was much worse for the aristocratic family to control the local official positions. Although Prime Minister Lin does not have many cronies in the six departments, he has many cronies in the local areas.
"In the early years, thanks to the great love of the emperor, I was allowed to preside over three imperial examinations. Nearly a thousand officials were admitted in those three imperial examinations, many of whom were in high positions, and one of them was even a senior official in Xinjiang." Prime Minister Lin spared no effort to show his strength.
"Although I have never contacted them on weekdays, they all remember my kindness as a teacher, and they will never refuse if something happens."
"The South has always been dominated by aristocratic families, and the tax revenue is not good every year. I have a student who is an official in the South. He has found something related to those aristocratic families, but he doesn't know who to give it to."
To let Xiao Tianyao relax, Prime Minister Lin almost confessed to his boss, and after talking for a long time, Xiao Tianyao finally said: "Bring him to see benwang some other day!"
When Prime Minister Lin heard this, he was overjoyed: "With Wangye's words, I feel at ease." Prince Xiao was willing to accept the nomination certificate he handed over, presumably, he was willing to let him go.
"It's getting late, I won't bother wangye, I'll leave first." Prime Minister Lin couldn't figure out Xiao Tianyao's temper, so he didn't dare to stay longer, and he resigned consciously after achieving his goal.
"Mmm," Xiao Tianyao didn't even raise his head, making it clear that he would not send Prime Minister Lin off.
Of course, Prime Minister Lin didn’t dare to ask Xiao Tianyao to see him off, so when he walked out of the study, Prime Minister Lin asked his servants to invite Madam Lin and Lin Wanting, and the family of four met at the gate of Prince Xiao’s Mansion.
Prime Minister Lin solved a problem in his heart, and he was in a good mood. Seeing that Lin Chujiu had never come out to see him off, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but thinking that this was Prince Xiao's Mansion, he restrained himself.
Let’s go through this test first, and then there will be opportunities for other things in the future.
Lin Wanting has always been obedient, and when she saw Prime Minister Lin's expression was not right, she immediately guessed one or two, and as soon as she returned to Lin Family's mansion, she pretended to be worried and blamed herself: "Father, mother and I begged my sister for a long time, we even knelt, but sister is still unwilling to help us intercede with the Crown Prince, what should we do?"
"Wanting, don't talk nonsense." Madam Lin felt uneasy and hurriedly gave Lin Wanting a hand.
"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. Sister refused to intercede for us. We begged her for a long time, but she never let go, and she didn't care about the family relationship." Lin Wanting opened her eyes and said nonsense. Knowing that they sat around all morning without saying a word to Lin Chujiu, they could only pretend to be confused.
"Chujiu? She really won't intercede for us?" Although an agreement was reached with Prince Xiao, Prime Minister Lin was still very unhappy when he heard Lin Wanting's words.
In Prime Minister Lin's view, the Lin Family's children should sacrifice for the Lin family, Lin Wanting was no exception, and so was Lin Chujiu.
"My sister refused, and said…that it was because of the Family relationship that she fall into trouble." Lin Wanting lowered her head, looking sad, but she didn't want Prime Minister Lin to see the guilt in her eyes.
Prime Minister Lin didn't doubt it, and a flash of resentment flashed in his gloomy eyes, and he said bitterly: "That unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who is just a lowly breed, does she thinks that she can become a phoenix by flying on a branch? She better be careful that everything she worked hard for ends up in vain.”
Madam Lin and Lin Wanting were taken aback for a moment, and looked at Prime Minister Lin in astonishment, with a look of shock on their faces.
Prime Minister Lin realized that he had said something wrong, coughed bluntly, shook his sleeves, and walked into the house……
