Chapter 99: No Fear of Asking Questions



Lin Zhubu stood in the middle, with a row of courtyards beside him.

Behind him, through the screen, he could hear low weeping sounds. It was the maid of the Lin family crying over their young lady.

Miss Lin was too emotional after waking up, so she had to be put into a coma by acupuncture.

Although she already knew that she had only hugged the man and nothing had actually happened, this scene happening in public was enough to destroy a woman's innocence.

As a father, he would definitely not be able to remain rational when faced with the fact that his daughter's life was ruined, and he would definitely be furious.

Lord Lin had exercised sufficient restraint by not slapping the girl standing in front of him.

"I don't know what I should explain to Lord Lin." Miss Jun said calmly, "I don't know if you have asked others for explanations. First of all, it was Miss Lin who invited me to come here. Everything after I left was arranged by her. Secondly, we were together in Jinyun Tower, but we soon separated. I went to the next stage to throw the pot. What happened to Miss Lin should not be explained to me."

Lord Lin sneered.

The little girl was not at all flustered or angry when she saw him shouting at her. Instead, she answered and refuted him calmly, which showed that she was mentally prepared.

"That's so blunt. Don't you know what's going on?" he said.

This kind of fraudulent method will definitely not work on this girl.

Si She, who was standing nearby, thought to himself that for a girl who could win so much money by throwing pots in Jinyun Tower, she must be mentally strong enough.

"I really don't know about this matter." Miss Jun said.

"Xianglan." Lord Lin looked at her and shouted.

Xianglan, who fainted at the time of the incident, was not treated like Miss Lin. She wanted to remain unconscious but was forcibly awakened with a needle. She was now trembling and choking on the ground. She was even more shaken by Master Lin's sudden shout and almost fainted.

The servant next to her lifted her up harshly by her shoulders.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Lord Lin shouted.

Xianglan trembled and pointed at Miss Jun.

"She, she drugged the young lady." She said crying.

Everyone in the room looked at Miss Jun. The people from the Lin family were angry. The people from Jinyun Tower had complicated expressions.

Hearing this frightening accusation, Miss Jun remained calm and unhurried.

"You can't say that, right?" she said.

Fang Jinxiu also pouted.

"Where's the evidence?" she said. "Don't bully our two children just because your family is here. You can't just say it. Where is the medicine? Where was it applied? When was it applied?"

Xianglan fell to the ground crying.

"That's when we were in Jinyun Tower. She, she put the medicine in the tea," she said.

Miss Jun laughed instead.

"Xianglan. Did I drink the tea?" she asked.

Xianglan lay on the ground, trembling all over and unable to speak.

"Lord Lin. There are maids present in your family, and there are maids present in our family as well. In addition to the maids, there are also waiters from Jinyun Tower. And you are an official. You should know that this matter cannot be resolved by her alone, but requires a confrontation, right?" Miss Jun looked at Lord Lin without waiting for Xianglan to answer.

"That's right. They said there was medicine in the tea at Jinyun Tower. Doesn't Jinyun Tower have any say about it? There are so many people here. How come she is the only one who said there was medicine in the tea?" Fang Jinxiu said, glancing at Si She who was standing aside.

Lord Lin had a cold expression and mockery in his eyes.

Little girls, you want to learn how to divert trouble to others? Who do you think you are?

"Of course we have to confront each other. Don't worry, Miss Jun. I will ask you clearly." He said coldly, "Someone come here."

The servants on both sides responded.

"Miss Jun, please accompany me back to the county government office for a confrontation."

This is clearly an attempt to arrest someone.

Fang Jinxiu clenched her fists and looked at Si She again.

Stand up and speak out quickly. This involves your Jinyun Tower. It is said that the tea in your Jinyun Tower contains drugs. How can you tolerate this?

Si She just lowered his head and sighed in his heart.

Lord Lin was also very smart. He knew that Jinyun Tower would not allow them to arrest people in the building and disturb the peace, so he did not mobilize the officials and did not say to arrest but to invite.

Ask the person to leave quietly, and what happens after he leaves has nothing to do with Jinyun Tower.

"Lord Lin." He raised his head and said.

Fang Jinxiu was overjoyed and said, "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

"Miss Jun still has some unfinished business in our Jinyun Tower. Lord Lin, please wait for us to process it." Si She continued.

Hold on?

Just wait?

Fang Jinxiu's smile froze on her face, while Lord Lin's sneer deepened, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

From Si She's words, he gathered that Miss Jun had probably won some money and was considered a distinguished guest of Jinyun Tower.

But so what? There are many people who have won money in Jinyunlou. Will Jinyunlou protect them all?

To what extent can we protect him? We can only prevent him from causing too much trouble in Jinyun Tower and prevent the business from being affected.

Jinyun Tower is a mountain, but not everyone can climb up this mountain. The two little girls are really ridiculous.

There was also a glimmer of surprise in Miss Jun's eyes.

It seems something unexpected happened.

“It was an accident.”

At this time, the five Golden Guards were still in the corridor outside the door.

"That day in the teahouse, when the happy event of the commander and the princess's marriage was announced, it was this little girl who first came forward to inquire about it."

One of them talked about the scene that day.

"This little girl is quite brave," he finally commented.

The other people did not go to the teahouse that day, but they also heard their subordinates talk about what happened, especially those who ran away, and they took note of it to teach them a lesson.

The scene was very ugly at the time as everyone was running away. Only this little girl took the initiative to come in and asked for details in a supportive manner. This saved the storyteller from being too embarrassed to continue, and also made their story look much more impressive.

Of course, they could only admire the girl for her foresight and understanding of the times, but they would not be so grateful that they would look for the reason and give her a reward or something.

Does something as natural as this need to be rewarded?

"Oh, it's this little girl." Mr. Jin said, nodding, "She's really brave. No wonder she can win so much money and hurt people at the same time. She's quite smart..."

When he heard the word "clever", he slapped the railing with sudden enlightenment.

"I remember it was her."

Who is it again?

Mr. Jin looked towards the other end of the corridor with interest, but Miss Jun and the other two were no longer in sight.

"Last June, this little girl sold a red hairpin worth less than five taels for 150 taels in Jinlou." He said, and laughed again, "So, she is not only the God of Wealth of Jinyunlou, but also brought extra wealth to our Jinlou."

"More than one hundred taels of silver is still silver." An underling nodded in agreement.

"This little girl is brave, smart and never gives in. At that time, another little girl wanted to cheat her, but she cheated her instead." Mr. Jin said, glancing at the house over there. "This time, it must be Miss Lin who wanted to cheat her, but she got cheated by this little girl."

The four men looked at each other.

Is this how the incident is characterized?

Then you won’t help Lord Lin?

"When children quarrel and fight, why should adults intervene? We are not the leader of the children. If others tell others about it, they will laugh at us." Mr. Jin said, shaking his head and sighing, "We all followed Mr. Lu, and we cannot lose face for him."

"It's already March, and it's time to prepare the wedding gifts to be sent to the capital." The man who was cutting nails suddenly said.

The wedding date of Lu Yunqi and Princess Jiuli is set for June, so it’s time to prepare.

"I found a few things. Mr. Jin, please go and take a look at them."

"Forget about your stuff and look at mine."

A few people walked forward while talking and laughing, as if they were just leaning on the railing and chatting here to enjoy the scenery. When they saw Ning Yunzhao standing at the stairs, Mr. Jin took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

"It's the Tenth Young Master, he hasn't come to Beijing yet?" he said.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Although you should stay away from the Jinyiwei, you don't have to be so arrogant as to always pretend to be in cahoots with them.

Ning Yunzhao smiled and nodded in return.

"That's it," he replied.

This was the extent of the exchange. Jin Shiba did not say any more pleasantries and Ning Yunzhao did not ask any more questions. They were just nodding acquaintances, nodding and brushing shoulders without talking deeply. Each of them had their own reservations in their hearts.

But, what happened?

If the Jinyiwei were not here to support the Lin family, then what were they doing here? Were they just here to chat and enjoy the scenery?

If you want to support the Lin family, even if you don't go in with them, you should at least stand here and not leave.

What is happening now?

Ning Yunzhao couldn't figure it out.
