Xiao Wangfei's heart knows the situation better than anyone else!
The Official looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and his face immediately showed traces that he was suffering.
Now, what should he do?
Xiao Wangfei made it clear that she will not accept the imperial edict. However, he still wanted to shove the imperial edict to her. When that happened, even if Xiao Wangfei throw it out, who will be responsible?
"Xiao Wangfei… …" The Official changed his attitude from staring at Lin Chujiu arrogantly to being pitiful.
Women have always been soft-hearted. If he is soft, will Xiao Wangfei still be able to refuse him?
"This imperial edict … can you take it?" The Official was young and handsome. He looked very pitiful as if he was about to cry anytime.
It's very easy for people to refuse old and ugly people. However, the Official has a pretty handsome face. People simply couldn't have the heart to refuse him. Additionally, he looked like a noble young man. With him making such a vile gesture, people simply want to take a bite.
If someone who encountered this was a young lady in heat, or a woman lacking in affection, she will definitely compromise. However, Lin Chujiu grew up with no attachment to others, so no matter how looked pitiful the Official was, Lin Chujiu was still unmoved. She kept kneeling with a straight back like a Buddha.
Since she married Xiao Tianyao, Lin Chujiu get used to kneeling, and now she can kneel perfectly for half an hour or more.
"Xiao Wangfei, please don't embarrassed this small official. The small official was just asked to run this errand." The Official kneel and didn't dare to stand: "Xiao Wangfei, I beg you to take this imperial edict. You should pity me. As for what you wanted to do after that, this small official promise that I will not interfere. I will turn deaf to the event today."
The Official took a step back. Why did he have to encounter such an unlucky job? Father, mother, I want to resign and go home. I don't want to be an official anymore. It's too dangerous.
"It's not me who's embarrassing you, it's you who's embarrassing me. I said that I'll pay the fine, but I can't take the imperial edict." Lin Chujiu looked at the Official with cold eyes, then shook her head… …
Looking at extraordinary accessories on the small official's body, he must be someone with a good background. Some people might have been jealous of him, so they let him take errands of bringing the imperial edict to Xiao Wangfu.
She sympathized with the other party, but if she pities him, who will pity her?
"Xiao Wangfei, don't do this… My father is a book assistant minister. If you want to, after you take this imperial edict, I will ask him to do something so that you can pay less, alright?" The Official wanted to cry with this injustice.
Lin Chujiu almost laughed, but she pretended to be serious: "Work is work. How dare you mix your work with private affairs?"
"Xiao Wangye, I'm not mixing my work with private affairs. I'm using friendship. You can see that I work seriously. I beg you please take this imperial edict." The Official winked at Lin Chujiu.
People said that Xiao Wangfei was an idiot. So can she resist such a beautiful man?
Unfortunately, the Official thrown a wink to the wrong person. Lin Chujiu said with a bad tone: "Do you have a problem with your eyes? Should I give you needle treatment?"
"No, no, no … Xiao Wangfei, just take the imperial edict." The Official shook his head again and again while handing the imperial edict to Lin Chujiu: "Xiao Wangfei, please take the imperial edict."
Lin Chujiu smiled and moved aside so that she could stop herself from beating people!
"Xiao Wangfei, please take the imperial edict." The Official still insisted. He chased after her and continued kneeling in front of Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu was so annoyed that she couldn't help but want to slap people. But the next moment, Housekeeper Cao came out with Feicui and Zhenzhu: "Wangfei, things have been checked. There are 30, 000 silver coins and 120,000 silver tickets. The other things like jewelry, if they will be sold in shops, they will cost at least 50, 000 silvers." In short, all of Lin Chujiu's dowry was evacuated.
"Take them to the pawnshop to pawn, and then hand the silvers to the Ministry of Justice." Lin Chujiu was not distressed at all. After seeing Lin Chujiu's dowry, Housekeeper Cao also didn't feel distressed at all.
Those jewelry were not worthy of their wangfei. Once their wangye comes back, he will open their treasury and bring out the best ones for their wangfei, which were ten times more valuable than what Lin Furen has prepared.
"Yes." Housekeeper Cao ignored the Official and called the guards to carry out the boxes of jewelry. Feicui and Zhenzhu busy themselves to counting the boxes.
The Official was dumbfounded, "Wangfei, are you serious?" The fined will be paid, but the imperial edict was not taken. How will he report?
"My words are truer than pearls. If you don't want to be scolded by your superior, you should go back with the imperial edict and pass my words to him. He will naturally deal with it." Lin Chujiu seemed to be kind-hearted, but in fact, it was a bad advice.
"This, is this okay?" The Official was in a dilemma, but Xiao Wangfei's words make sense.
"Of course, otherwise, are you going to spend the rest of your time with me here? This is Xiao Wangfu. I am not scared of you. I have no problem wasting my time kneeling with you until dawn, but can you spend all your time here in Xiao Wangfu?"
After hearing Lin Chujiu's words, the Official crawled up, "What? Spend time here until dawn? I can't, I'm going to find my superior… …"
The Small Official didn't say another word, he turned around and run outside.
He can't kneel until dawn. His legs will become a waste. If that happened, even if his position was higher than his father, his father can still cut him off in the family… …
"He's gone at last." Lin Chujiu pressed her hand to her aching old waist and then stood up from the ground. Shanhu and Manao came forward and helped Lin Chujiu: "Wangfei, are you alright?"
"I'm okay," Lin Chujiu waved her hand to stop Shanhu and Manao from supporting her.
After walking two steps outside, Lin Chujiu saw Housekeeper Cao commanding the guards to carry out the boxes. Lin Chujiu stopped Housekeeper Cao and said: "Housekeeper Cao, please send a letter to Su Cha to find out whose behind those merchants. Also, let him find a way to give the extra money he had earned during this time to the commoners. We shouldn't let the people think that he is making a fortune under Wangye's influence."
During war is the best way to earn money, so when the East, North, South, and West countries are at war, the businessmen do their best to make fortune. Although Lin Chujiu knew that they were being shameless, she has no intention to stand on the highest point of morality and accuse him. After all, the main job of a businessman is to seek profit. Can she stop Su Cha from seeking profits? Can she stop others from seeking profits?
However, rather than wait for others to make a profit and use this profit to crush Su Cha, it's better to let Su Cha mix himself to the fish in the water, and then try to find a way to spend the ill-money he earned afterward.
When Housekeeper Cao heard what's written on the imperial edict, he also understood the seriousness of the matter. So, he solemnly said: "This old slave understands. Wangfei, this slave will surely handle this matter."
"Well, you can go." Seeing all the boxes has been loaded in the carriage, Lin Chujiu didn't stop Feicui and Zhenzhu to also go.
Once the incident was over, Lin Chujiu turned back to the inner courtyard and asked Shanhu to take her medicine and massage her waist.
Housekeeper Cao couldn't help but sigh in relief as he watched Lin Chujiu's figure leave. Fortunately, their wangye married their wangfei. And fortunately, their wangfei was capable. Otherwise, he will not know what to do… …
