Chapter 29: Apologize to Miss Su!
The Jingzhao Yin hurried down the hall, trotted over, and knelt on the ground to submit.
The emperor was in a coma, and the regent was in charge of the government. He often visited the people privately and wandered around the various government offices in the court.
He went to the Ministry of Rites the day before yesterday, and to the Five Military Commandery yesterday. Today, this living ancestor actually came to Jingzhao Prefecture!
At this moment, Jingzhao Yin was trembling in his heart. He did not seek any merit, but only wanted to avoid mistakes!
Qin Shu didn't know what the arrival of this man meant. She just thought it was a coincidence. She met Mo Jin at the general's mansion that day, and met him again at Jingzhao Mansion today.
Is it possible that the Regent King is idle every day? Is he here specifically to suppress them?
Everyone in the mansion knelt down.
Su Luo's heart skipped a beat, and she leaned forward and knelt. The dark robe with golden thread on the edge fluttered in front of her.
Qin Zhengyu stood behind Mo Jin and said, "Sir Jingzhao Yin, my prince is asking you a question. What are you going to do if this Miss Su doesn't kowtow and admit her fault?"
"This...this!" Jingzhao Yin was sweating profusely and wiped his forehead in a panic. At this moment, he didn't know what mistake he had made. He said boldly,
"Miss Su brutally beat her second uncle and seriously injured him. This is unfilial, unobedient, and unkind. According to the law,
She deserves to be imprisoned, but her second aunt, Qin Shu, is kind-hearted and will not pursue the matter. Therefore, it is reasonable and legal for me to ask her to pay compensation and kowtow to apologize..."
"I've always heard that the general's daughter is kind and filial. I wonder what kind of outrageous thing Mr. Su has done to force such a gentle and kind-hearted Miss Su to become so cruel?" Qin Zhengyu raised his eyebrows and asked closely.
Jingzhao Yin trembled all over and his face gradually turned pale.
Qin Zhengyu's words actually represent Mo Jin's position.
This matter... Jingzhao Yin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!
He said stubbornly, "Second Master Su was drunk and misbehaving, and attempted to steal."
The lawyer tried to cover the petition, but Qin Zhengyu, with his sharp eyes, snatched it away and read it aloud:
"Second Master Su, wearing a mask, sneaked into Madam Su's courtyard last night. He secretly released smoke and then climbed through the window into the study to steal the land deeds. He then bribed the Su Mansion's housekeeper, You, to resell valuable items. He also tried to win over the Su Mansion's guards and servants..."
"Pah!" Qin Zhengyu's face darkened and he sneered, "How dare you, Lord Jingzhao Yin! Is this Second Master Su your father, or is Qin Shu your mother? Why are you protecting this pair of thieves like this?!"
"Puff!" Wen Zixuan, who had drawn his sword to help others when he saw injustice, couldn't help but burst out laughing and responded, "Probably the ancestor of Jingzhao Yin!"
Jing Zhao Yin's face turned extremely ugly, sometimes pale and sometimes blue, and he agreed with a smile: "Guard Qin is really joking..."
Qin Zhengyu handed the petition to Mo Jin with both hands.
Mo Jin took a few glances and his eyes fell on the furry head. Today, the little girl had her hair combed into a single bun, and wore a green jade hairpin and a gardenia on her head. She was different from before, pure and elegant, like a forest elf who had strayed into the mortal world.
He thought she was charming, but he didn't expect she could be so refreshing.
It’s… not bad?
Mo Jin's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes darkened a little. Others couldn't see his emotions, but they felt that this god of death was too moody, and a few words could decide life or death.
The Jingzhao Yin was terrified, Mr. Su and his wife were more nervous and frightened than ever before, and the onlookers were also somewhat frightened for no reason.
In the dark head that was buried, Su Luo's single bun was slightly raised, and she looked up at him with her palm-sized face. There was uneasiness, solemnity, and anxiety in her eyes after encountering a difficult situation, and there was also a hint of help that she didn't even notice.
She could handle it, but it would take some effort.
It is difficult to resist the oppression of power.
There was no emotion in Mo Jin's eyes, as unchanging as an ice pond, except for a very faint hint of amusement.
The women he had slept with were not people who could be bullied by anyone.
Mo Jin even enjoyed the little girl's dependence on him.
He lowered his head, the sunlight casting a faint glow on the side of his face. He rolled up the petition into a roll, his expression unclear and changeable, making it impossible to guess his emotions.
Jingzhao Yin was in a dilemma for a moment. He pondered over his plan in his mind and was about to save the situation with his eloquence when -
"Bang" Mo Jin slammed the complaint paper into his face!
The force was so great that ordinary paper had extremely strong attack power, and it actually made the Jingzhao Yin bleed from the nose!
Jingzhao Yin shuddered all over and knelt on the ground in a hurry. Just as he was about to kowtow, Mo Jin kicked him in the chest!
Soon, Chen Song came running over and reported loudly, "Your Highness, I've just checked with the Qin household and asked a few of the old servants. This isn't a difficult matter to investigate. They say the Jingzhao Yin had a past affair with Qin Shu when he was young."
"No wonder... no wonder!" Qin Zhengyu clapped his hands and praised, "The Jingzhao Yin truly values loyalty and righteousness! Even at the risk of damaging his reputation, he's determined to protect his ex-lover from over a decade ago!"
Jingzhao Yin wanted to die in embarrassment, but now he was no different from social death.
He has been an official for many years, worked hard for many years, and wanted to be promoted, but now he made such a big mistake because of a woman!
Jingzhao Yin is really regretting it!
The next moment, Jingzhao Yin was under Mo Jin's shoes, pleading nervously, "Your Majesty, please give me another chance. I didn't understand the whole story and made a wrong judgment!"
Qin Shu's face instantly lost color!
Mr. Su fell to his knees with a thud, looking extremely miserable!
Qin Shu cast an anxious look at Jingzhao Yin, asking for help: Please, help me, help me...
However, Jingzhao Yin ignored her gaze, closed his eyes, and immediately scolded her when he opened them again:
"Qin Shu! Master Su! You two are so audacious! You disregarded human ethics, flouted the law, and stole treasures. You are guilty of multiple crimes and deserve to be imprisoned!"
"What, what!" Qin Shu felt like the sky was falling!
"Not only that, you should also kneel down and kowtow to Miss Su to apologize and seek forgiveness. If Miss Su can forgive you, we can consider reducing the punishment as appropriate!" said Jingzhao Yin.
Mo Jin then slowly raised his foot.
Jingzhao Yin ran away, holding his chest with lingering fear.
Qin Shu suddenly screamed, "Let me apologize to her? Impossible!!"
"Then go to jail!" Jingzhao Yin said cruelly.
"Not only that, you all need to kneel down and apologize to Miss Su." Qin Zhengyu curled his lips and looked at Jingzhao Yin with sharp eyes, "Including you!"
"This... I'm an official appointed by the imperial court after all. Asking me to apologize to an ordinary girl is too... ridiculous, isn't it?"
