Chapter 262 What Did He Lose?
Young lady.
Lin Yingxue?
Lin Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Another boring love story? I really don't know what my eldest sister is thinking. Does she even have a brain? She could seduce anyone, but she chose to seduce that poor student? How foolish!"
"And that Xiao Yuan? Since he's already staying by the Crown Prince's side, why doesn't he just abandon everything and stay there wholeheartedly? Why does he even have to get emotionally involved? Doesn't he know that love is the most useless thing?"
Baosheng was shocked. "It was the young lady who seduced Xiao Yuan? I thought Xiao Yuan was bewitched by the young lady."
Baosheng's words were simply an act of disrespect. He actually used the word "seduction" to describe his eldest daughter.
But Lin Chengfeng did not stop him, which also shows his extreme dissatisfaction with Lin Yingxue.
Lin Chengfeng sneered, "Why, do you really think that Xiao Yuan is that capable enough to meet with the women in the Lin Mansion's backyard? If it weren't for my foolish eldest sister, who would have the guts to do that?"
Baosheng was puzzled. "Why would the young lady do this? Isn't she afraid that if people knew she had let a man from outside into the harem, it would damage her reputation?"
Lin Chengfeng sneered, "Why? Isn't it because of that little jealousy? Is she jealous of that concubine's daughter, Lin Qingjun, who is prettier than her and has great embroidery skills?"
Having said this, Lin Chengfeng became even more contemptuous.
"She's a legitimate daughter, yet she's jealous of a concubine's daughter? Is there something wrong with her brain? She's actually trying to trick her concubine's daughter into marrying a poor student?"
Lin Chengfeng really didn't expect that his sister was dumber than a pig.
There are many ways to deal with a concubine's daughter, why use this one?
Besides, although Xiao Yuan came from a poor family, he was still well educated. The academicians had mentioned this a little. If Xiao Yuan really passed the imperial examination and became an official, wouldn't she be giving an official wife to that concubine's daughter, and eventually she would be superior to him?
Lin Chengfeng felt a little headache. Why were they all so troublesome?
Baosheng didn't dare to speak.
Just then, another servant came to report.
"Third Master, Master Xiao Yuan requests to see you."
Lin Chengfeng's head hurt even more. He was worried about this matter just now. How could he meet him now?
Without a second thought, he waved his hand, "No, no, what's there for me to see when I'm just a poor student? What's there to see when I see a fool who can't even do his job properly when standing next to the prince?"
The servant felt nervous. The third young master of their family has always had a good temper. It is rare for him to lose his temper like today.
He trembled and accepted the order and went out.
Xiao Yuan frowned.
"What did you say? He doesn't want to see me? Then have you ever told him who I am?"
It's impossible. Lin Chengjian can't possibly not see him.
Although Lin Chengfeng almost caused him to lose his official position in his previous life, he did not blame him, because Yingxue said that Lin Chengfeng treated him like this to vent her anger.
It was also his fault at that time. He did not show up at the first time when Yingxue was targeted by the people from Wu'an Marquis Mansion. As her brother, it was natural for Lin Chengfeng to vent her anger.
What's more, it was just a close call at the time and not a big deal.
But it's different now. Since he has been reborn, he naturally wants to get close to his brother-in-law. He also has something important to tell him, and he wants to tell him that this year's exam is about peace, not war.
He wanted to help him.
The autumn examination is coming soon, so he must not slack off.
The servant was furious. "Of course I told you. You're so shameless! You didn't even give me a reward. I went in to report it out of kindness, and now you're blaming me for it."
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. My young master was extremely angry when he heard it was you."
"Go, go, go, go quickly, don't disturb my young master's rest."
The servant pushed him out the door and spat at the end.
Xiao Yuan's face turned pale.
He didn't expect that he would be despised by a servant here?
He said that he was Lin Zhi's favorite student and also an eighth-rank official, so how dare he treat him like this?
But the servant's other words completely stunned him.
"Master's student? Oh, Master has many students. You are just one of them. There is nothing special about you."
"What do you mean by eighth rank? The gatekeeper in front of the prime minister's residence has a higher rank than you. Don't think that you will be great if you really enter the upper class and become an official. Going to the capital is not something a peasant like you can dream of."
Xiao Yuan's face hurt as if he had been slapped hard by someone several times, even more so than when Nanny Gong slapped him.
He trembled all over, feeling ashamed and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
What the servant said was true. Xiao Yuan was just an eighth-rank official with no foundation to support him. No matter how lively he was, he was just a clown. Anyone with just a little finger could destroy him.
But he didn’t understand. Everything was fine in his previous life, but why was there such a big change in this life?
He wanted to take refuge with the prince, and the prince had already given him so much silver as a reward, but for no apparent reason, he burned it down in a fire.
He wanted to rekindle his past relationship with Lin Yingxue, but found out that in this life she had given herself to the prince?
He wanted to appease Lin Qingjun and make her as infatuated with him as she was in her previous life, but her eyes were never on him from beginning to end. Instead, she even disliked him?
Also, he wanted to make peace with Lin Chengfeng, but why didn't he meet him and instead let a servant come out to humiliate him?
So, what exactly is the problem?
Xiao Yuan was distraught.
"Prince, do we really not need to teach him a lesson?" Qingshan asked.
Ji Chenchuan shook his head. "Everyone loves to kick a fallen dog, but I don't like that. If we take action again at this moment, it would make me look petty. It would be better if I could have another fair fight with him."
He wanted him to see with his own eyes what exactly he had lost.
Lin Qingjun was so good, yet he treated her like that? Xiao Yuan, oh Xiao Yuan, was he even a man?
The green mountains and green waters looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The prince spoke nicely and said he would not kick a man when he was down, but his actions were another matter.
He secretly helped Miss Lin Er, making Lin Chengfeng hate him and causing the two of them to fall apart.
Without Lin Chengfeng's help, Xiao Yuan's future official career will be even more difficult.
Similarly, if Lin Chengfeng had not received the tip-off from Xiao Yuan, it would have been difficult for him to pass the imperial examination this year.
One of the most important questions in this year's autumn examination is the issue of war and peace.
Although the Great Qi Kingdom is now peaceful and prosperous, His Majesty has always adhered to the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. He has never changed this principle, but very few people understand his meaning.
This year, the emperor boldly used the issue of war and peace to test the students. He wanted to see how many people had been poisoned by this comfortable life.
