Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 172

[Chapter 172: Concubine]

In the imperial study, Lin Xiu asked Emperor Xia, “Your Majesty, this time I have offended the Zhang family completely for your Majesty. Will they retaliate against me by poisoning, assassinating, or secretly attacking my family…”

Emperor Xia said, “Put your heart back in your stomach. From today on, no one dares to attack you and your family. Your wife is so powerful. I’m afraid many people won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

After that, he waved his hand and said, “Go away. I have something important to do.”

Lin Xiu knew that the pretty widow was still waiting for his comfort, so he clasped his fists and bowed, saying, “I’ll take my leave.”

He had just walked out when Zhu Jin came in. Emperor Xia asked, “Did Zhao Lingjun really awaken for the sixth time?”

Zhu Jin nodded and said, “I saw with my own eyes that Zhang Jing’s two earth-level guards were only one step away from the upper earth-level realm, but they couldn’t even stand up in front of her. Even if her abilities are powerful, she still needs the cultivation of the upper earth-level realm to do this…”

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, “She is establishing her authority. A nineteen-year-old woman is really powerful. Who wouldn’t be afraid of the upper realm of the earth level, not to mention that she has a powerful master, who will dare to move the Zhao family and the Lin family in the future…”

Zhu Jin smiled and said: “Although there are also people with outstanding talents in various countries, no one can match her. So it seems that the top spot of the next Tianjiao list has been reserved in advance by my Daxia. “

Emperor Xia said: “Don’t be happy too early. Daluo and Dayu are also crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Although we have a Zhao Lingjun, there is only one Zhao Lingjun. If there is only one top spot on the Tianjiao list, and no one is on the list later, it will also become a joke. “

Zhu Jin said: “Your Majesty, don’t worry. At present, the number of Tianjiaos in Daxia on the next Tianjiao list will not be less than in previous years…”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and stopped talking about this matter. He asked: “Where is the wife?”

Zhu Jin said: “According to your request, she was arranged in the side hall.”

Emperor Xia looked down at his clothes and sighed lightly. Although he would reach this step sooner or later, it was earlier than he expected. In this way, he would no longer have the fun of leaving the palace.

When thinking of the culprit of this incident, Emperor Xia’s face darkened and he said, “Strictly investigate the family of Anhuabo. All those who can be arrested or not arrested should be arrested, and all those who can be killed or not killed should be killed. No one should be spared!”

Zhu Jin knew that His Majesty was really angry, and bowed and said, “I obey your order.”

Although the son of Anhuabo was the one who provoked this incident, the center of this storm was Zhang Jing of the Zhang family. He had been taken away just now.

Emperor Xia looked at the sky outside the palace and said slowly, “Zhang family, what a Zhang family…”

…

Lin Xiu walked out of the imperial study and saw Wu Wenyuan and Liu Qingfeng waiting for him in the square in front.

Wu Wenyuan still seemed to be dreaming. From a small East City Order to the Jingdu Order who was in charge of the people’s livelihood of the entire royal capital, the power in his hands was not just four times greater.

In this short period of time, he went from a small official who could be bullied by anyone to an important official in the court.

What’s more, His Majesty also conferred him a title of nobility. Even if it was only a third-class earl, it was also a leap from a commoner to a powerful noble in one fell swoop. This is what many officials dream of.

In Daxia, being an official is nothing. Being a powerful noble is the real superior.

He even wondered if there was smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.

Liu Qingfeng felt similar to him.

Qingli Cheng was the second-in-command of the Qingli Division. When the doctor was not around, he could perform the duties of the doctor of the Qingli Division. In addition to his official position, he also had a title of nobility. Even the doctor did not have a title of nobility.

Seeing Lin Xiu coming out, the two hurriedly stepped forward.

Lin Xiu bowed to the two and smiled, “Congratulations to the two adults for their promotion.”

Wu Wenyuan hurriedly said, “It’s all thanks to the young master.”

He was glad that he had a good eye for people. If he had hesitated today, I’m afraid that such a good thing would not have happened to him.

As for the matter of the pretty widow, he was sensible and didn’t ask any more questions.

However, thinking of the Zhang family, Wu Wenyuan still looked worried and said, “Mr. Lin, do you think the Zhang family will retaliate against us?”

Lin Xiu patted the two on the shoulders and comforted them, “Don’t worry, His Majesty gave you promotions with this consideration. If the Zhang family retaliates against you, wouldn’t it be a slap in His Majesty’s face?”

Wu Wenyuan was relieved.

Liu Qingfeng looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “Mr. Lin, what will happen to Zhang Huai?”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “His father’s title is already yours. What do you think will happen to him? It won’t be long before you can go to their graves.”

Although the dog emperor could not do anything to the people of the Dingguo Mansion, he could not stop anyone from killing a mere Anhua Earl.

When the three walked out of the palace gate, many people gathered on the street in front of the palace gate.

Dare to go against the Zhang family, whether it is the common people or the dignitaries, they all want to see their results.

But it seems that they are at peace.

In the crowd, Xue Ning’er saw that Lin Xiu was fine, so she was relieved. After taking a deep look at him, she left quietly.

Lin Xiu walked to Zhao Lingjun, who looked at him and asked, “Are you okay?” Lin Xiu

smiled and said, “You are brave enough to punish evil and promote good. What can happen?”

Zhao Lingjun said, “Then go home.”

She stretched out her hand to Lin Xiu, who gently held it, and the two of them flew into the air and flew towards the wedding residence.

The crowd was still discussing.

“She saved her husband with such a boldness, she is worthy of my great Xia Jiao!”

“Her husband is not bad either, he dares to challenge the power of the Zhang family, how courageous is he?”

“I used to think that he was not worthy of Miss Zhao, but now I take back my thoughts at that time.”

“There are many people who are stronger than him, but how many dare to do what he did?” “

The three of them are simply the most courageous men in the capital!”

Even some of the powerful children who were watching the excitement had to admit Lin Xiu’s courage, but in their hearts, they also listed him as one of the people who must not be provoked.

He doesn’t even care about the Zhang family, even if his title is higher than his family, what can it do?

He is an outlier among the powerful, if you meet him, it’s best to stay away from him.

Of course, the most important reason is that he has a wife named Zhao Lingjun.

Even if he is as arrogant as the third young master of the Zhang family, when he meets Zhao Lingjun, doesn’t he still have to give her face?

At this time, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun have returned to the wedding residence.

As soon as he landed in the courtyard, Lin Xiu let go of Zhao Lingjun’s hand and said, “Thank you.”

Zhao Lingjun said calmly, “You’re welcome. If it were you, you wouldn’t stand idly by, right?”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “That’s true.”

Although the two of them were not husband and wife in reality, they were husband and wife in name, and he and Zhao Lingjun felt very comfortable getting along with each other. If it were Lin Xiu, he would not watch her being bullied by others.

Although this possibility does not exist.

He opened his eyes today.

To be honest, he couldn’t beat any of Zhang San’s two guards in a one-on-one fight, but they didn’t even have a chance to fight in front of Zhao Lingjun, and they knelt there directly. Zhang San was so arrogant, but he had to give her face. Zhu Jin took him to the palace and asked her opinion first…

Just two words.

Domineering.

Someday, it would be great if he could get to her status.

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun had nothing to say when they were together. He looked at her and said, “Thank you anyway. I’ll go back first.”

Halfway through the walk, he turned back, thought for a moment, and asked, “Miss Zhao, can I discuss something with you?”

Zhao Lingjun looked at him.

Lin Xiu also said very straightforwardly, “I have a woman I like very much and want to take her as a concubine.”

Zhao Lingjun asked, “Is it the girl from Duke Xue’s mansion? I have no objection to you being together, but the Xue family may not agree.”

Lin Xiu said, “This time it’s not Ning’er, it’s another girl. Her name is Caiyi. She is an actor in Lihuayuan. You will meet her later.”

Zhao Lingjun said without hesitation, “I won’t interfere with your life. No matter who you want to marry, I have no objection. If you need me to do anything at that time, just tell me.”

Zhao Lingjun is really a good and sensible wife. Lin Xiu used to judge a gentleman by his own standards.

Thanks to the grandfather he had never met, who arranged such a good marriage for him.

As long as the eldest wife agrees to marry a concubine, other matters will be easy to handle.

After leaving the wedding residence, Lin Xiu went to her parents first.

The couple of the Earl of Ping’an had just sent away the eunuchs in the palace, and they were still confused, especially the Earl of Ping’an Lin Ting. He couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He had just been promoted to the first-class Earl for only a few months, so how could he become the Marquis of Ping’an again?

He knew that this matter was related to Lin Xiu. As soon as Lin Xiu entered the door, he couldn’t wait to ask, “Xiu’er, what’s going on?”

Lin Xiu explained, “Don’t worry, Dad. I did a good job for His Majesty. His Majesty was happy and promoted your title. There’s no need to make such a fuss. His Majesty also said that as long as I work hard, it’s possible to make you a duke in the future.”

Zhou Yun glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “Don’t fool us. Tell us what you did.” It’s

still hard to fool his mother, but it’s hard to reveal the matter of the dog emperor and the pretty widow even to his own parents. Lin Xiu just mentioned it briefly. He was not afraid of power. For justice, he dared to challenge the authority of the Zhang family. His Majesty admired his integrity and rewarded him heavily.

Although the couple of the Earl of Ping’an were a little worried about offending the Zhang family, they were positive about Lin Xiu’s actions.

Zhou Yun held Lin Xiu’s hand and told her, “Mother knows that you have righteousness in your heart, but you have to be careful when doing things in the capital, and don’t always put yourself in danger.”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, mother, I have His Majesty behind me. As long as I have a clear conscience, no one can do anything to me openly. What’s more, with Lingjun’s protection, there is no need to worry about their means behind the scenes.”

After comforting them, Lin Xiu said, “Actually, I came here today to tell you something else.”

Zhou Yun was stunned, and then asked expectantly, “What is it? Is Lingjun pregnant?”
