Chapter 98 If he's so capable, why doesn't he just go to heaven and become Xiaotian?
Damn, this is unbelievable. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.
Lin Chang'er laughed in exasperation, "Yes, yes, yes, your love is stronger than gold, you must keep it locked up, don't hurt anyone else."
And please don't mention anything about twin flowers blooming together. My father only married my mother in his entire life, and he never took a concubine or had any maids or concubines.
He could never agree to the idea of twin flowers blooming together, or to your beauty in broad daylight.
"If you're so capable, why don't you just go up to the heavens and become a celestial dog swallowing the sun, dreaming even in broad daylight?"
Lin Chang'er unleashed a torrent of anger, clearly furious, and poised to smash that bastard's head open.
The few people trying to break up the fight suddenly changed their expressions, looking like they were saying, "Sorry, I don't want to laugh either, but I just can't help it."
Even the usually composed Wu Qingfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips. Seeing that she had finally stopped cursing, he thoughtfully brought her another teacup, poured her some water, and said, "Have a sip of water first." Then she could continue cursing.
Chen Ming had seen his father's concubines bickering before, but he had never heard of such a way of cursing.
Moreover, how can someone expect to be supported by a woman and still have a child with her? Is there such a good thing in the world?
They even dared to eat someone else's childless offspring!
Chen Ming doesn't consider himself a good person in the traditional sense, but he does have a bottom line when it comes to doing things.
He couldn't stand such underhanded practices as exploiting the descendants of the deceased.
A grown man, if he wants money, he should earn it. Even if he's greedy, that's his own business (this only represents the character's values, not the author's). But to eat someone else's property is just... indescribable.
Chen Ming's gaze towards Han Yue changed, but since he had brought him along, he couldn't very well...
Han Yue was so focused on confronting Lin Chang'er that he didn't notice anything amiss. He was only visibly trembling as Lin Chang'er berated him, pointing at him. "Shrew! Insolent! A woman like you is only fit to be a farmer or a butcher. You dare to covet a scholar? You're dreaming!"
Wu Qingfeng didn't like hearing this. "You keep calling me a scholar. May I ask your age and whether you have any official rank?"
Han Yue was taken aback. What did this mean? Why did this man have a strange sense of oppression when he spoke?
“Brother Han is 19 years old this year and is a student of the Imperial Academy in Ninghai County.” It was Chen Ming who spoke.
Bai Shaoan laughed out loud upon hearing this, "A 19-year-old student, that's really..." a bit old.
He didn't say the rest, but it already made Han Yue feel an unprecedented contempt. He angrily raised his eyes, "You look down on me so much, could it be that you already have an official title?"
He simply didn't believe that Lin Chang'e, a widow, could possibly be involved with any important figures.
Bai Shaoan raised his hand and casually brushed the stray hairs from his forehead. "Coincidentally, I do happen to have this academic title."
Bai is unworthy, but at the age of 17 he passed the imperial examination and had the honor of seeing the emperor's face. Now he is retired and living at home... supported by the imperial court.
Although he didn't actually have a good impression of that person, he didn't mind bringing it up when he was bragging.
Han Yue raised his voice almost without thinking: "Impossible. Although Ninghai Prefecture has had students pass the imperial examinations every year, it has never had a student pass the imperial examinations. You are lying to me."
Bai Shaoan shook his head, looking at him as if he were a frog in a well, stubbornly clinging to its own opinions.
Too lazy to argue with such a person, she turned to Chen Ming and said, "Young Master Chen, my surname is Bai. Your father should have mentioned the Bai family of Linhai Town to you. You should know whether I am lying or not. Why don't you explain it to your friend?"
Chen Ming was startled. The Bai family of Linhai Town?
He had assumed that the young man in front of him was a distant relative of Pei Sihai, but who would have thought that he was the only son of the White-Clothed Marquis's family.
His father had naturally told him about this special existence.
After all, although everyone says that the White-Clothed Marquis's mansion will never regain its former glory and its decline is inevitable.
But they haven't completely declined yet, have they?
Not to mention that the old matriarch of the Bai family was a member of the royal family and had good relations with the Wu family in the capital and the Pei family of Zhenbei, otherwise the Baiyi Marquis's mansion would have ceased to exist long ago.
Although they have withdrawn from the ranks of the major families in the capital, as long as the Wu family and the Pei family remain in power, the White-Clothed Marquis's Mansion will not fall.
Whether or not they return to the capital is entirely up to the old mistress's choice.
When his father first arrived in the area, he couldn't eat or sleep, afraid of neglecting the locals and causing them to make things difficult for him, and also afraid of praising them too much and upsetting the person in charge.
It was a difficult situation, putting him in a difficult position. Later, he secretly paid a visit, but the old mistress of the Bai family did not receive him. Instead, she sent a very dignified nanny to convey to his father that they should each be well.
In other words, it's about keeping to oneself, but that's just the way it is. Who would really dare to ignore it?
As for why they weren't counted in Ninghai Prefecture, it's because they were registered residents of the capital and students of the Imperial Academy!
Thinking of this, Chen Ming shuddered and secretly sighed, thank goodness that he hadn't said or done anything too outrageous today.
Chen Ming nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Young Master Bai is not lying. As for the reason, Young Master Bai is not a resident of Ninghai Prefecture, so this academic achievement will naturally not be attributed to Ninghai Prefecture."
"Brother Chen?" Han Yue couldn't hold back any longer, gripping Chen Ming's arm tightly with both hands, his eyes confirming with him: Is it true?
Chen Ming nodded to himself. Now, looking at Pei Sihai again, he understood everything. Pei, the surname of the Prince of Zhenbei, was there to protect the new magistrate of Ninghai County.
The man who was with them?
Chen Ming secretly glanced at the man, and his heart trembled. He had never seen the Ninghai County Magistrate in person, but his father had a portrait of him. Wasn't this the man in front of him? The Wu family of the capital.
Then it makes sense that the three of them were together.
Chen Ming was once again relieved that he hadn't acted impulsively today.
Chen Ming felt he was extremely clever and lucky. He grabbed Han Yue's arm and said to Wu Qingfeng and the others, "Today's matter is just a misunderstanding. I apologize on behalf of my friend. I hope you will all be magnanimous and not hold this against my friend."
After saying that, he used force to pull Han Yue out of the private room.
Just as they stepped out the door, they heard a gentle voice behind them, "Han Yue, right?"
Chen Ming and Han Yue paused instinctively and turned around at the same time, only to see the county magistrate slowly say, "What belongs to Miss Lin belongs to Miss Lin. You can't steal it even if you turn your pockets upside down."
Han Yue was taken aback and was about to say something when Chen Ming quickly covered his mouth, "You're right, no one can take Miss Lin's things from us, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
"Waaah..." Han Yue was truly speechless. He asked Chen Ming to help him get an explanation, but instead of getting an explanation, he was dragged out like a dead dog.
Han Yue was unhappy and naturally struggled, as he hadn't yet managed to reason things out!
Chen Ming was speechless. What was he struggling for? Didn't he know he was being saved? He was also furious. "Are you trying to kill me?"
