Chapter 31: A Hundred Thoughts
Hu Tianxun took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the anger in his eyes. He stared at Lin Zhiyu fiercely and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, Lord Lin. We were ignorant and reckless. We accidentally bumped into you. Please forgive me, Lord Lin."
"Tsk, how can you apologize with such a straight and righteous posture?" Sun Zice was not satisfied. He smacked his lips and shook his head. "It's not sincere. I think Brother Lin is not satisfied either."
Lin Zhiyu didn't say a word, and let Sun Zice tease them, so that he could let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, right! I remember now!" Sun Zice suddenly clapped his hands, and smiled as if he had suddenly realized something, revealing a row of sharp teeth. "I remember when that kid from the Xu family offended you before, how did you get him to apologize?"
"Kneel down and kowtow? Or bark like a dog? I can't remember, how about Master Hu help me recall it?"
The faces of the people opposite froze in an instant, and two of them couldn't help but want to say something, but the moment they opened their mouths, they heard a loud "thump".
They all looked at Hu Tianxun in shock.
"Lord Lin, I am guilty of my foul language and have offended you. I hope Lord Lin will forgive me and forgive me this time." Hu Tianxun half-knelt on the ground, with his head half-lowered, so that people could not see the expression on his face.
"That's right." Sun Zice smiled coldly, and his eyes swept over the other people, "What about you?"
Wen Shitao looked around for a while, his face was ugly, and finally he knelt down like Hu Tianxun.
But Xie Qiao, whose hand was cut off by Lin Zhiyu, was very dissatisfied, and rushed towards Sun Zice, shouting: "Fuck! Sun Zice! Your master! Just because of you, you want me to kneel? Fuck you!" But
before he could touch Sun Zice, he was thrown to the ground by the servant brought by Chu Jingchen.
Maybe it was because of this hit on his wound, he wailed and fainted directly.
"Miss, he seems to be fainted from the pain?" The servant gestured to Chu Jingchen.
Chu nodded in surprise: "Nothing, send him back to Xie's house, and tell Lord Xie everything that happened today."
"Yes."
"Miss Chu, I'm lucky you're here! I was scared to death!" Sun Zice patted his chest in fear, pretending to be a little wife and hiding behind Lin Zhiyu, slyly.
Seeing Xie Qiao's fate, the remaining two people quickly knelt down and apologized.
"Are you satisfied?" Hu Tianxun stared at them coldly.
This time Sun Zice didn't say anything, but pulled Lin Zhiyu's sleeve.
Lin Zhiyu's eyes swept over Hu Tianxun and the others, and he hummed lightly, "You and I have a personal grudge, and I don't want to make a fuss to the elders. What happened today will not be spread."
"But." A warning flashed in Lin Zhiyu's eyes, "If I find out that you are planning to go after Baoer again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
...
After everyone left, Sun Zice slumped in the chair like a master, glancing at the man sitting upright over there, feeling angry in his heart, and asked in confusion: "Brother Lin, that was a good opportunity to blunt their temper, why did you soften your heart?"
If the roles were reversed, if they were the ones kneeling on the ground, Sun Zice had no doubt that Hu Tianxun would let them do something like imitating a dog to eat shit.
That group of people are so despicable and shameless that they will never let go of such a great opportunity!
And Lin Zhiyu not only did not punish them severely, he even took the initiative to mention that what happened today would not be spread out, which was clearly to let them rest assured that tomorrow the news of them kneeling down today would never be spread in Yanjing City.
It made him feel very aggrieved.
Lin Baoer in Qinglian's arms had already fallen asleep. Chu Jingchen carefully put her soft little hand back and chuckled, "Master Sun, it's too late. Even a dog will jump over the wall when it is forced, let alone them."
"What you did today has already trampled on their self-esteem. If in the end you really let them apologize like dogs in front of so many people, I'm afraid that the Hu Mansion, the Wen Mansion and others will send people to ask for an explanation tomorrow."
"Not only that." Lin Zhiyu pondered, "You still don't understand the current situation in the court. Recently, Hu and Li have been highly valued by His Majesty. If they really offend multiple important officials at the court at once, even if Lord Sun and my father are the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue, they will easily be jointly accused. By then, it will not only be you and me who will be affected. I am afraid that others will also suffer from the unprovoked disaster."
"This will also give them a chance to breathe. Tell them that this is our personal grudge and let them retaliate. Given the personalities of Hu Tianxun, Wen Shitao and others, they won't be so spineless as to sue their parents. After all, if they do that, we will look down on them and they will no longer have a say in Yanjing City in the future."
Chu Jingchen nodded in agreement. "And Hu Tianxun took this into consideration and didn't want to implicate the Hu family, so he knelt down directly. He has backbone."
The two of them sang the same tune and explained the situation clearly in an instant, shocking Sun Zice so much that he didn't know what to say.
After a while, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "You guys are full of tricks, but I am the only one who is very simple!"
"Did I ruin your business just now?" Sun Zice doubted himself.
Lin Zhiyu laughed and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "How could it be, since they dare to come to trouble blatantly, it doesn't matter if we give them a lesson, so that they can learn a lesson and avoid provoking people they shouldn't provoke next time!"
"You are better than me at making people angry." Lin Zhiyu couldn't help laughing.
Chu Jingchen on the side also smiled with her lips covered, and her beautiful eyes were full of tiny smiles, "I have to say, Mr. Sun's mouth... No one in the whole Yanjing City can compare to him."
"Of course not!" Sun Zice narcissistically threw away his folding fan.
After this incident, the Hundred Poems Contest gradually came to an end, until the sky quietly darkened, and the few people said goodbye to each other and went back home.
When Lin Baoer woke up again, she was already lying in the specially made rocking chair in Shangchun Garden.
"So many things have happened, it seems that Zhiyu has indeed grown up and become much more stable." Shen Xuelan sighed, gently shaking the tea in her hand.
Lin Qiming stroked his beard with satisfaction, "He did a good job. This is just a minor quarrel between the young people. If the Hu and Wen families want to make a fuss about this, it would be too ungenerous. They can only swallow this stupid loss in secret."
Shen Xuelan glared at him and snorted, "But if they really touched Baoer at that time, I don't care who they are. Even if I go there in person, I will ask for an explanation!"
