The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 241 Landlord Class

The next day, there was a fierce quarrel in the court.

The censors advised that the Xue family did not properly discipline their disciples and that their words and deeds were inappropriate and they should be punished.

The Xue family, of course, was not willing to be outdone and said that these censors did not do their work all day long and just talked nonsense.

Neither faction would submit to the other and they were almost about to fight.

Shen Lin sat on the dragon throne and watched the fight between the two groups with great interest. It was not until noon that they felt tired and decided to take a rest.

In line with the principles of loving each other, helping each other in friendship, Shen Lin specially served them some small cakes and watched them continue fighting.

After the court session, Shen Lin returned to the Qinzheng Hall.

Shen You and his companions had been waiting in the Qinzheng Hall early in the morning.

Because they arrived too early, Zhou Ning was still sleepy and couldn't stand properly, and kept swaying.

Bai Zhao let Zhou Ning sleep leaning against him, and it seemed that she was barely standing.

"Oh, he's sleeping." Shen Lin didn't let the eunuch inform them, but just greeted Zhou Ning and others to come in.

Shen You and Bai Zhao smiled and carried Zhou Ning into the Qinzheng Hall.

"You haven't woken up yet. Did you do something bad last night?" Shen Lin joked when he saw Zhou Ning rubbing his eyes.

Shen You immediately said, "A Ning has been like this since she was little, it's not disrespectful to you."

Shen Lin flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you know that because of your quarrel yesterday, there was a huge quarrel in the court today?"

Several people looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Shen Lin pointed at the four little ones and said, "I knew you guys wouldn't be at peace."

Qi Ji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Xue family is really domineering. Not to mention that Xue Mingyue injured the princess, the Xue family's children are overbearing. Sister Awan was taken away by Jingzhao Mansion. I'm afraid it was a warning from the Xue family to us."

Shen Lin naturally knew that Shen You was beaten.

The Xue family has become so domineering that Shen Lin's desire to destroy the Xue family has reached its peak.

It’s a pity that they are so powerful and have such extensive connections that they cannot be touched without solid evidence.

"In that case, I'll give you a chance to retaliate. Do you want it or not?" Shen Lin, holding the jade beads, glanced at the four people's faces indifferently, with a majestic aura without even getting angry.

Qi Ji and Shen You looked at each other. They understood that it was not up to them whether to do it or not.

They are the emperor's chess pieces. How can they decide where the emperor will move?

Qi Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I am willing to share your worries."

Shen Lin was very satisfied with Qi Ji's understanding of the situation, so he said, "I see that Duke Qi has been in poor health recently. If you can come back safely, I think Duke Qi can pass the title to you without any worries."

Qi Ji knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen You smiled sweetly and said, "My daughter is willing to share my father's worries. Not to mention going to investigate the Xue family, even if it means going through fire and water, my daughter is willing to go."

This sounds so fake, but her eyes are so sincere that you can't help but believe it.

"Where are you two?" Shen Lin looked at Zhou Ning and Bai Zhao.

Zhou Ning had just woken up from his sleep and was still not fully awake. He knelt on the ground, feeling a little confused.

Bai Zhao winked at Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning: “Ah?”

Obviously, the two of them don't have this tacit understanding.

"What? Are you going or not?" Shen Lin asked impatiently.

Zhou Ning stole a glance at Shen You, and when she nodded, Zhou Ning immediately said, "Go."

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhao immediately knelt down and said, "I am also willing to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess and protect Her Royal Highness' safety."

Shen Lin exposed Bai Zhao and said, "What do you mean by following the princess? Don't you just want to be with your fiancée? Your name is... Zhou Ning, right?"

Shen Lin pointed at Zhou Ning and asked.

Zhou Ning nodded. Fortunately, the emperor summoned her personally that time and she insisted on not changing her name, otherwise she would be called Zhou Yiling or something like that.

"I remember that I wanted to give you a new name, Jia." Shen Lin recalled.

Why are you still bringing this up?

Zhou Ning said with a stiff face, "Yes, but I like my name. It was given to me by my mother. She died early, leaving me only this name."

The meaning is obvious, I don't want to change.

Shen Lin recalled and said, "Your mother, I remember now, that Miss Su Mingxia. I heard that she was the most talented woman in Qingzhou. What is the origin of the name I gave you?"

There is no origin for this. It's just that the children in the orphanage that year generally lacked the character "木" in their destiny, so their names all had the character "木" (wood) on the side. The director randomly picked a few characters and gave them these names.

Should we make up some special meanings?

Zhou Ning thought about it and said honestly: "I am stupid and don't understand the special meaning of the word 'Ning', but I think it means that my mother wants the best for me."

Shen Lin didn't expect Zhou Ning to be so honest. He laughed and said, "As Cui Aiqing said, you are straightforward and honest. I have heard that you have made many contributions in the north. Well, I will give you a county princess and the title of Anhe. Is that okay? This is a higher title than the previous one. If it weren't for the high prestige of the Su family and the hard work and contributions of your father, I would not want to reward you."

Zhou Ning complained in her heart that Shen Lin, this old fox, used a useless title to exchange for the merits of the Su family, the Cui family, and herself, and even called it a promotion beyond one's level, as if no one cared. He had no money, no land, and no status. Youzi was a princess, but people thought she was just a plastic princess and could be bullied whenever they wanted.

It's simply bullying honest people.

Zhou Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Lin looked at Bai Zhao again and said, "I know you and Zhou Ning... Now it should be Princess Anhe. You are engaged to the princess, but you are just a small seventh-rank official."

Bai Zhao was anxious and said immediately: "Your Majesty, I will try my best and will not let An Ning... Princess An He suffer any injustice."

Shen Lin realized that he had achieved his goal and said, "I understand. I hope that one day you can become a loyal official of the court and welcome the princess home with honor. The Bai family is full of loyal and brave people. Please don't bring disgrace to the family."

Zhou Ning complained in his heart, what is a family of loyal heroes, aren’t they just the surviving royal descendants of the Xia Kingdom? What a fool.

Seeing Bai Zhao's grateful face, Zhou Ning was speechless. He was really fooling a child.

"In this case, please do not disappoint me. I hope you can investigate the Xue family's crimes carefully. Let's set off tomorrow. I will make everything easier for you in the capital."

Shen Lin made a summary speech.

Zhou Ning sighed, this old fox, after talking for a long time, didn't give them anything, but made them burst into tears of gratitude and work for him willingly.

Sure enough, the emperor is the emperor.

The evil landlord class exploits the people.
