When Lin Chujiu accepted the gift from the Zhang family, the Manager of the Zhang family had peace of mind. He thought that Lin Chujiu didn't care about the previous events and forget the past.
As for Lin Chujiu?
She couldn't say anything to the Zhang family. Moreover, she can't do anything to the Zhang family now, so…
Everybody was happy!
The Manager of the Zhang Family thought that now this incident has been solved, he sent a message to the Zhang Family to ask for credit. He mentioned how well he handled the matter, how Xiao Wangfei was afraid of the Zhang family's prestige, and how easy he solved it.
When the people in the Zhang family of the Central Empire received the letter and learned that Lin Chujiu was so easy to subdue. They were complacent and looked down on Lin Chujiu.
It was determined that they tied the wrong person, but the matter has now been solved. The Zhang family didn't take Princess Fushou Zhang seriously. They simply ordered someone to kill her, but… …
The man, who was supposed to kill Princess Fushou Zhang, enjoyed her during this period time. He was unwilling to kill her. Seeing that the Zhang Family didn't send someone to monitor the process, he secretly hid Princess Fushou Zhang and reported that he killed her.
Anyway, she was now a lowlife in the east country. So even if he keeps her, no one will look for her!
*
Lin Chujiu didn't know these things about the Zhang family, she was very busy now. She didn't have time to pay attention to the Zhang family.
As the battle on the front line became more and more beneficial to the Eastern Country, Lin Chujiu became busier and busier in socializing. She was very busy responding to the courtesy of the noble ladies in the capital… …
Everyone knows that Xiao Tianyao's status will be much higher when he returns from the front line this time. Even if… …
As a prince with military power, and the emperor could no longer promote him further. None of these can hinder courting and admiration of people to Lin Chujiu.
Anyone can see that Xiao Tianyao and the emperor was like the east wind and west wind. The two of them can't live in peace. It's either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.
Now that Xiao Wangye was about to return to the court with a big victory, it can be seen that he has overwhelmed the emperor's wind. Even if Xiao Wangye can't sit on the throne, he will still be a unique existence in the country. If Xiao Wangye will have cruel intentions, it won't be difficult for him to steal the throne from the emperor.
If they won't please Xiao Wangfei this time, when will they please her?
Although Lin Chujiu didn't need to meet all those noble women who came to visit her, but… …
She can't refuse them all!
Xiao Tianyao can't fight alone forever. He needs allies and help. The last time Xiao Tianyao had an accident, no one came out to speak for him except for his generals, which was good proof.
Only by making friends with courtiers, they can consolidate power. If they want to make friends with courtiers, diplomacy was really important. Xiao Tianyao was unwilling to make friends with the courtiers, so this can only be done by her.
Moreover, if she didn't make this move and didn't associate with the courtiers like Xiao Tianyao, the emperor might think she was avoiding suspicion. Maybe he will think that she was pretending.
Xiao Tianyao didn't associate with courtiers before, but did the emperor let him go?
No matter what they do, the emperor will not be satisfied, so Lin Chujiu generously entertained the people she thought she should meet at home.
She didn't treat them coldly, so those officials who have been following Xiao Tianyao, sent their wives to visit. When they visited Lin Chujiu, they didn't not only came to see her but also gave heavy gifts.
The minister with real power in the court has the right to speak in the government. To handle things better in the future, even if they didn't become friends, she didn't dare to offend the other party's wife, that came to see her.
Although noble families and big families have no real power, there were many in-laws in the family. They can have a little relationship with anyone. Maybe the madam in charge of a certain government office was the daughter of that certain family. In the same way, these families may not be close to each other, but she can't offend them. Otherwise, there will be more trouble.
With this calculation in mind, Lin Chujiu wanted to meet people as much as possible.
During this period of time, there were constant visitors from Xiao Wangfu. Lin Chujiu go back and forth inside the house and smiled all day long. She was very tired, but… …
Although she was tired, her gains were great. At least after this meeting, no one in the capital said she was vulgar, willful, or ignorant anymore. Lin Furen's careful management of her reputation disappeared.
Before Lin Furen was a well-known good stepmother in the capital, while Lin Chujiu was well-known trash. As a result… the married ladies discovered that the trash was not a trash at all. Everything was just self-contaminated.
Why a good girl would smear and discredit her own reputation?
If it weren't for survival, why would an unmarried girl be willing to damage her reputation?
There was no need for Lin Chujiu to say anything. There is a huge contrast between her front and back. These married ladies were not blind, how could they not know it?
In fact, many people used to see that Lin Furen was killing Lin Chujiu. It's just that Lin Chujiu was doing nothing at that time. So who would fight and offend the wife of the prime minister for her?
Now Lin Chujiu's status has risen because of Xiao Tianyao. Whether it was true or not, those madams will rectify her name to please Lin Chujiu. As a result, Lin Furen's reputation completely stinks.
Originally, the Crown Prince was planning to marry Lin Wanting after three months of filial piety for Meng Laofuren. But now that Lin Furen's reputation was damaged. This matter can only be ignored.
When Lin Wanting received the news, she cried until her eyes swelled at home.
She forbore when she can't marry Xiao Wangye, but now she can't also marry the Crown Prince. How can she live?
Lin Wanting complained in front of Lin Furen more than once, saying why she didn't marry her to Xiao Wangye in the first place. If she married Xiao Wangye, she will be sought by many people, and she will be the once in limelight.
Whenever Lin Furen heard Lin Wanting's words, she felt hurt. She thought her daughter didn't understand her. But later, she became numb and even thought about it. If she married Lin Wanting to Xiao Wangye, she and her daughter will now be sought by many people, right?
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. She regretted that she tried her best to steal Lin Chujiu's marriage. If she didn't steal Lin Chujiu's marriage contract with the Crown Prince and let Lin Chujiu marry Xiao Wangye. How could Lin Chujiu be in this situation?
The more Lin Furen thought about it, the more she regretted it. And the more she thought about it, the more she got sad. Eventually, she became ill!
The Imperial Doctor diagnosed it as too much thinking!
Lin Xiang was not blind. How could he not know what was happening in his own mansion? As soon as the diagnosis came out, Lin Xiang sent Lin Furen and Lin Wanting to Zhuangzi outside the capital to rest.
Of course, Lin Xiang's move was not for the benefit of Lin Furen and Lin Wanting. He was afraid that these two would not have eyes and provoke Lin Chujiu.
Xiao Wangfu's prestige was on fire. When the flowers are blooming, even the emperor must avoid the sharp edge. If these two short-eyed people provoke Lin Chujiu, could he avoid vowing his head to admit his mistake to this evil woman?
Lin Xiang decisively sent the person away, but he only sent out the people outside the capital for 2 days, but shocking news came from the front line. This news turned the Eastern Country upside down… …
