Chapter 147 They Fight
Chapter 147 They Fight
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need your help with, father or mother."
Lin Shiyuan, who originally thought that Lin Ruoxuan was leaving and was waiting to rest, couldn't help but frown when he heard that Lin Ruoxuan actually had other things to do.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Ruoxuan seemed not to notice his impatience, and asked the two of them.
"Father, mother, do you know that I was drunk a few days ago?"
When Lin Shiyuan heard Lin Ruoxuan mention this matter, his face turned unhappy.
"Now that you are afraid, what did you do before?"
Lin Ruoxuan ignored Lin Shiyuan's unfriendly tone. Her father was just venting his anger.
"Father, mother, this matter concerns the reputation of our Lin family. If you don't care, I won't say anything more."
Although she said this to Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong, her eyes were always on Lin Shiyuan.
Lin Shiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "If there is anything, just tell me directly."
"Seventh sister."
Lin Ruoqiao did not hesitate and told the whole story of Lin Ruoxuan's drunken mischief in the music club that day.
Lin Shiyuan was so angry that his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Lin Ruoxuan.
"You... do you still remember that you are a girl? A legitimate daughter of the Lin family, and the wife who will marry into the Zhenguogong Mansion?"
Speaking of this matter, Lin Ruoxuan herself was actually a little embarrassed.
She also knew that she was impulsive at the time. If Gu Nanyuan had not arrived in time, she would probably have been beaten.
"Someone is behind this and is deliberately fanning the flames. Not only is my reputation going to be ruined, I'm afraid the Lin family's reputation will be ruined as well."
Lin Ruoxuan's words were so serious that Lin Shiyuan began to worry.
"What should we do now? We can't find the person behind this, so are we just going to let them spread these filthy rumors?"
"Of course not. Don't worry, father. Gu Nanyuan said that he will send someone to investigate this matter. Please rest assured, father and mother."
Lin Shiyuan, who had a worried look on his face just now, felt much more relieved when he heard that Gu Nanyuan would handle the matter.
Sun Rong, who was standing by, looked at her daughter worriedly, "Xuan'er, you just asked me to help you. How can we help you?"
"Father and mother just need to stop arguing with others when they discuss this matter again."
"We have no way to refute this matter. After all, I was there that day. And many people saw it. If we explain it now, I'm afraid it will only make the rumors more intense."
Sun Rong became worried, "Master..."
Lin Zeyuan patted Sun Rong's hand in a soothing manner, "Don't worry, since Xuan'er said that the young master will handle this matter, we just need to listen to Xuan'er."
Sun Rong thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she stopped crying.
"Don't worry, mother. I believe in Young Master Gu. We just need to wait for the day when the truth comes out."
Knowing this, the Lin family might be implicated. How could Lin Shiyuan dare to act recklessly?
Although following Lin Ruoxuan's words made him seem to have lost some of his father's authority, compared with the entire Lin family, this authority was nothing.
The next morning, Lin Shiyuan went to the morning court obediently, hoping that it would end soon so that he could return home earlier.
Ever since the incident involving the concubine in the mansion came to light, he has not had a single day of peace of mind.
Even with colleagues with whom he used to get along well, he no longer had the heart to drink or chat.
Now that there are more rumors about Lin Ruoxuan, he doesn't want to stay outside any longer.
I was afraid that others would ask about his eldest daughter, his youngest daughter, and his concubines...
However, he wanted to spend the morning court peacefully, but some people didn't want him to have peace.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Lin? How come you still have the energy to come to the morning court? I thought you knew etiquette and shame, and would teach your daughter well at home. I didn't expect that Lord Lin would actually come to the morning court."
Lin Shiyuan did not forget Lin Ruoxuan's reminder last night. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
However, seeing his appearance, his former mortal enemy became excited.
"Master Lin, I heard that you have been raising several children for others for more than ten years. Is that true? Master Lin is really generous. It's ok to raise women for others, but he even raises children. He is really generous and tolerant."
"It's a pity that Lord Lin is so generous, but he gave birth to a daughter who is mean and ungrateful. An unmarried girl actually instigated other couples to divorce. She is really shameless!"
"Yes, Lord Lin, could it be that your little daughter has taken a fancy to that scholar and resorted to such despicable means to harm him?"
Lin Shiyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he couldn't help but glare at a few people.
"Don't talk nonsense! My daughter is a pure and kind person, not the dirty thing you say she is!"
Several people were disdainful, "How can a pure and kind person instigate a divorce? Even if Lord Lin is protecting his shortcomings, he can't be unreasonable."
"That's right. They broke up a happy couple just because they said so. As the saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to destroy a marriage. But looking at the look on Miss Lin's face, she seems to want to break up all lovers in the world. Only Lord Lin thinks that such a vicious person is pure and kind."
Lin Shiyuan was so angry that he swung the tablet in his hand directly onto the man's head, causing him to scream in pain even though he had just been so smug.
Although Lin Shiyuan is a civil servant, he can do anything when he is angry.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense! You are a grown man, but you are as talkative as that woman. Are you qualified to be an official? It is a shame for us to serve in the same court with you!"
That man was not a pushover either. He reached out and started fighting with Lin Shiyuan.
"Lord Lin must have done something wrong, so he doesn't dare to let me speak out. Even so, I have to tell you about these dirty things!"
"Hey, Lord Lin, Lord Wang, please stop immediately, don't do anything..."
When the people around saw the two men fighting, they hurried forward to stop them.
But they were all persuading from the side, and no one dared to step forward.
It was the eunuchs in the hall who noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly reported the matter to the emperor.
When the emperor heard that officials in the court were fighting in the palace, he hurried over. When he saw Lin Shiyuan and Wang Wenzhao fighting each other, he was so angry that his face turned blue.
"Stop, stop right there! Someone, pull them apart!"
As the emperor's roar was heard, everyone saw that the emperor had come to court, and they all knelt down to salute.
Although Lin Shiyuan and Wang Wenzhao were unwilling, they knelt down obediently and saluted.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The emperor snorted angrily, "With the two of you here, I won't live forever!"
"You are officials appointed by the imperial court, but you are fighting openly in the palace. Where is your etiquette? Where is your tolerance?"
