Chapter 281: Confession, Cares
Lin Chujiuâs sudden changed made the Xiao w.a.n.gfu guardsmenâs heart feel scared of her. They knew their w.a.n.gfei has a strong side. They had witnessed how she dealt with those troublesome scholars and suppressed Lin Xiangâs arrogance. However, they thought that she was only able to do it because she has Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs support. Without Xiao w.a.n.gfu, can Lin Chujiu survive in the capital?
Not only Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs guardsmen think so, but also Su Cha and Liu Bai. Without Xiao w.a.n.gfu, Lin Chujiu couldnât stand tall.
Therefore, Xiao w.a.n.gfu thinks that Lin Chujiuâs good behavior in the w.a.n.gfu was very appropriate. She never dared to resist their w.a.n.gye because she cannot afford to lose Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs backing. Lin Chujiu can be arrogant outside, but she canât be arrogant inside. However, at this moment, the guardsmen finally understood that they were wrong.
Their w.a.n.gfeiâs good behavior doesnât seem to be because she needs Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs support, nor she canât live without Xiao w.a.n.gfu⦠â¦
When the guardsmen remembered their w.a.n.gyeâs recent attention to Lin Chujiu. They were suddenly all shocked and startled. They felt like they had done something wrong. So, they bowed their head and said: âw.a.n.gfei, this subordinate was so daring to offend you. This subordinate is willing to accept any punishment.â
âGet out of the way.â Lin Chujiuâs voice was hoa.r.s.e, she seemed to be was about to cry and feeling weak. With that, the guardsmen didnât dare to stop her again and just let her pa.s.s.
Lin Chujiu didnât leave with imposing manner. She just walked away silently, but her atmosphere seemed to be covered with sorrow. Every step she took seemed heavy, but still extremely firm.
Housekeeper Cao, who stood behind Lin Chujiu, wanted to go forward several times. But, he didnât dare to actually do so. He felt like their w.a.n.gfei had changed. However, he doesnât know if this change was good or bad.
Housekeeper Cao didnât dare to think too much, he busily goes to see Xiao Tianyao and reported everything that happened. After hearing the report, Xiao Tianyao didnât speak. Housekeeper Cao added another sentence: âw.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei seems to be very sad.â Are you going to coax w.a.n.gfei?
âBenw.a.n.g knows, you may leave.â Xiao Tianyao didnât lift his head until he finished reading the paper in his hand. While carelessly putting down the paper, he said: âThe tiger finally revealed itâs fangs,? This is good, a coward w.a.n.gfei cannot support Xiao w.a.n.gfu.â
According to Lin Chujiuâs temperament, without his protection, she will only take a step back even if she was pushed to the corner.

Lin Chujiu just wanted Housekeeper Cao to give her a basin of water, but instead, she was blocked by him again and again. Lin Chujiuâs heart burst in anger. She directly went back to her courtyard. She did not only washed her face but also changed her clothes. After tossing here and there, and going back and forth on the road, Lin Chujiu meet Xiao Tianyao after an hour.
âw.a.n.gye, do you need me for something?â Lin Chujiu asked directly as soon as she came inside. Her tone was different from her usual gentleness.
âWhat? Youâre angry?â Xiao Tianyao looked up and saw that Lin Chujiuâs eyes were red. He knew that what happened to Meng Laofuren brought her a great shocked. Xiao Tianyao doesnât know how to comfort the others, so he only blurted out: âDonât be sad, the old lady will be fine.â
âw.a.n.gye, donât make me laugh, my grandmother is lying paralyzed in bed. Unless I met an immortal G.o.d, she will stay like this in a lifetime.â In the end, Lin Chujiu canât help but get teary.
And in order not to let her tears flow out, Lin Chujiu looked up at the roof, trying her best to put them back.
This was the first time he comforted someone, but he was bluntly blocked. Xiao Tianyao became speechless for a moment, he doesnât know what to say. So, he only coughed and said: âThose people who offended you today, benw.a.n.g will let you handle them.â Because of this matter, he waited for Lin Chujiu for about an hour. However, he didnât get angry at all, Lin Chujiu mus be satisfied with this, right?
âNo, they didnât offend me. They were just executing your orders.â Lin Chujiu took back the tears in her eyes and looked at Xiao Tianyao. Then, she asked again: âw.a.n.gye, do you need me for something?â
Xiao Tianyao frowned his eyebrows. Seeing Lin Chujiu doesnât want to beat around the bush, he had no choice but to mention about his official business: âThe thing about the Meng Family⦠â¦â
âI will not bother w.a.n.gye with this matter. This is our familyâs problem. My family is my own business, I will be responsible for it.â Xiao Tianyao just opened the matter, but Lin Chujiu interrupted him.
With her tone, she was obviously angry. Seeing Lin Chujiu with a bad temper, Xiao Tianyao, who usually has a bad temper couldnât help but get angry: âLin Chujiu, are you resenting benw.a.n.g? Who gave you the courage to dare act unruly in front of benw.a.n.g? Donât think that just because benw.a.n.g treat you nicely recently, you can act recklessly like this.â
Lin Chujiu was very nice. He really has an affection for her. He also really regarded her as his wife. However, it doesnât mean that he will pamper her. His woman shouldnât be arrogant and ignorant.
âI donât resent you, just like what you said, you really did treat me so well recently.â Lin Chujiu didnât deny this fact. She doesnât know what was Xiao Tianyaoâs reason for doing this. So, she didnât wait any longer and asked: âw.a.n.gye, youâve been treating me so well, is it because you have me in your heart?â
âAhem, ahem⦠â¦â Xiao Tianyao never thought that Lin Chujiu would ask such a direct question. He almost choked after hearing it, so he coughed twice and said: âYou are benw.a.n.gâs w.a.n.gfei.â He admitted that she was his w.a.n.gfei, so she inevitably was in his heart.
âThen, do you like me even a little?â Lin Chujiu asked another question. Xiao Tianyaoâs ears redden, but he didnât give her a positive answer. He only blurted out: âLin Chujiu, benw.a.n.g wants to discuss you about Meng Family and what youâre supposed to do.â Isnât it obvious enough? Stupid woman.
âLetâs talk about this matter first, then you discuss my family. w.a.n.gye, do you like me? Did you kissed me that day because you like me?â Some things must be said clearly to be understood. She wanted to know if it was worth looking forward too.
âIs this important? You are benw.a.n.gâs wife. Is kissing you was something strange?â Xiao Tianyao was very annoyed. For men, there were some things that they cannot be said.
âJust because we are husband and wife? But, do you see me as your wife?â Her relations.h.i.+p with Xiao Tianyao was more like a master and a servant.
âWhen did benw.a.n.g not see you as his wife?â Seeing Lin Chujiuâs questionable face, Xiao Tianyao was forced to add: âBenw.a.n.g didnât kill you, admitted that you are Xiao w.a.n.gfei, are those proof that benw.a.n.g sees you as his wife? If benw.a.n.g doesnât see you as his wife, do you think benw.a.n.g will let you live?â
If he wants to take Lin Chujiuâs life, he only need to lift his hand. However, when she needed to be saved, he runs outside the capital even though his injuries were just healed. Regardless of his face, he chase after her and took her back. When she needed to do something, he set aside his grudge to the emperor and accompany her into the palace⦠â¦
Wasnât he good enough for her? So, why at this moment, this woman was asking such silly questions? She was ⦠â¦
Stupid and helpless!
