The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 42 Lin Zhiyu doesn’t take them seriously at all

"Pei Shizhi is Lin Zhiyu's fiancé! They are on the same side, and have similar interests. How can we listen to his words! Even if there is no face, there are other things-"

"That's enough! Zhao Wu, Prince Jianning is the head of the Kent sect in this palace. Are you questioning my decision?"

The queen sternly rebuked, and Zhao Wu shuddered. Without waiting for an explanation, he heard the queen ask in a cold voice: "What are you suspecting? Do you suspect that the Pingxihou Mansion has treason? If you have evidence, just bring it out. There’s no need to talk about him here!”

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was so frightened that she almost knelt down. She quickly picked up her crutches and stood up tremblingly. She yelled at Zhao Wu in a hoarse voice: "Master Zhao, I have never offended you. How can you be so confident!"

"First you slandered the girl of my house, and then you hinted at ruining the reputation of my house. Today is my eightieth birthday party, are you going to force me to death?"

Zhao Wu's father couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and stepped forward. He knelt down towards the throne with a plop and grabbed the ground with his head. "Mom, please calm down! Old lady, please calm down! I am a lowly official who has no way to teach his son, so he rushed to the two of you." , the lower official is guilty!"

"Zhao Wu! Why don't you come over here, kneel down, and apologize to the empress, the old lady, and Miss Lin!"

Stupid people always have inexplicable courage at critical moments. Zhao Wu still didn't feel that he was at fault, "Dad, Lin Zhiyu is not at all——"

"Kneel down! Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Wu was the second son in the family. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that he was a playboy and did not dare to provoke him, but he was only afraid of his father.

Master Zhao would glare at him angrily. Zhao Wu's legs trembled and he no longer dared to resist. Even the certainty in his heart quickly dissipated and was replaced by fear and panic.

Mr. Zhao kowtowed again, "Mother, Madam, Quanzi realizes his mistake, and please forgive him this time for the sake of Quanzi's youth and ignorance. I promise to strictly control him after he returns, and so on." This ridiculous thing will never happen again!"

The queen looked down at Zhao Wu without saying a word.

Zhao Wu was already trembling like a sieve, and he kowtowed after Lord Zhao, "I know I was wrong. Today, I was reckless and impulsive and spoke unscrupulously! I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and the old lady!"

Guests and hosts did as they pleased, the Queen said nothing, just waiting for Mrs. Xie to speak.

Because of the old grudge between the two families, Mrs. Xie was unwilling to let Zhao Wu go. Zhao Wu's trouble today really made her lose face. However, after she got the title of Mrs. Gaoming, she became known for her kindness and loved him. It's really inappropriate to kill and kill.

So he let out a long sigh and said, "Young children, no one has ever made a mistake. Since you already know your mistake, just turn over this article today. Don't do it again in the future."

"Yes Yes!"

Lord Zhao hurriedly put Zhao Wu's forehead on his forehead to thank him, and finally urged Zhao Wu to leave the table quickly.

Zhao Wu responded, not caring about his embarrassment, and hurriedly ran out.

But he was stopped by a female voice.

"Master Zhao, please stay."

Zhao Wu paused in his steps and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Mr. Zhao also froze in place. When he saw the pretty girl, he realized that it was up to this girl who usually had a bad reputation to decide whether to let Zhao Wu go or not.

And she obviously didn't want to give up.

Mr. Zhao has a bad heart. He only asked the Queen and Mrs. Xie just now because he was sure that Lin Zhiyu was not favored in the house and she was born as a concubine, so she had no say in the court.But he didn't expect that Lin Zhiyu didn't take Mrs. Xie's decision seriously at all.

Mrs. Xie's face turned dark with anger. Princess Fukang glanced at her and suddenly burst into laughter. At this moment, she actually had some admiration and appreciation for Lin Zhiyu.

Master Zhao had cold sweat on his forehead and held his hands towards Lin Zhiyu, "Miss Lin."

Lin Zhiyu smiled back, "Master Zhao."

Lin Zhiyu heard the deep meaning behind Mr. Zhao's "fourth girl". He was implying that she was a girl from the Hou Mansion. The elders were present and it was not her turn to speak arrogantly as a junior.

Lin Zhiyu didn't care at all. Everyone said that she, a girl from the Lin family, didn't know etiquette and didn't respect etiquette, right?

Lin Zhiyu looked at Zhao Wu who was bending his back and trying to escape. He waved his hand and ordered Lan Sheng to stop him.

Mr. Zhao was anxious, "What does Miss Lin mean?"

Lin Zhiyu said bluntly: "What do you mean? What do you mean, Mr. Zhao? Is it possible that he wants to protect your son? Everyone here just heard it. If what he said is not true, what should your son do?"

Zhao Wu often humiliated the martyrs of the Lin family and provoked the Lin family's army in public. Just now at the banquet, his words were even more unpleasant and harsh. Lin Zhiyu could not let him go like this no matter what.

Pei Shizhi also had the same attitude. Not only because of the Lin family, but because President Zhao Wu harassed Xie Yiwan, which was disgusting, he might as well take this opportunity to get rid of him.

Pei Shizhi's voice was like gravel and ice, "Zhao Wu, do you still remember what you just said?"

Pei Shizhi represented the attitude of Prince Jianning and most of the people at this moment. Zhao Wu panicked and looked to Mr. Zhao for help, "Dad, save me. My son just caught the cold at the beginning of the year. Fifty court sticks will kill me! Dad!" ,help me--"

Zhao Wu screamed sadly, but no one present sympathized with him. Who knew that Lin Zhiyu also fell seriously ill at the beginning of the year, and she was still a girl. If the fifty court staff fell on her, her death would only be more miserable.

How could Mr. Zhao not know that Zhao Wu couldn't bear it? Even if he could bear it and survive, he would still be disabled!

Mr. Zhao couldn't open his mouth to beg Lin Zhiyu, a yellow-haired girl. He looked at Mrs. Xie, the queen, and then the left prime minister, who shook his head and stood up.

Prime Minister Zuo, who was over sixty years old and in high spirits, advised Lin Zhiyu: "The fifty court staff is really heavy. If it is used, it will definitely kill Mr. Zhao. Why don't we compromise and spare Zhao Wu's life?" It is also a good thing for him to kowtow and apologize all the way to Yong'an Temple to pray for the soldiers in front of the battle."

"It's better to resolve enemies than to end them. It's for the sake of today's old lady, the old lucky star. How can there be blood on this happy day?"

The queen did not express her position and asked Lin Zhiyu, "What do you think of the fourth lady?"

Lin Zhiyu neither said yes nor said no. She walked up to the left prime minister and said, "Although Zhiyu is a boudoir girl, she also knows what integrity is and what a promise of a thousand pieces of gold means. The Qingxian Dynasty is a great country, and the sons it produces We all stand upright, so does standing upright mean that orders change day by day and are capricious?"

"Is this true for Prime Minister Zuo? Is this true for Mr. Zhao? Is this true for everyone here?"

No one dared to respond. The banquet was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left.

Zhao Wu seemed to realize that he was finished, and roared angrily, "Lin Zhiyu! You just expect me to die, don't you?"

"I understand, I understand! You designed all this today! You hate me for always causing trouble for you, and you hate me for admiring your second sister and making things difficult for you. You want me to die!"
