NovelEnglishFlattery was a technical job. Lin Chujiu was unfamiliar with this, but her identity was unusual. With her identity as Princess Xiao, she tried to make up for all her shortcomings. As long as the emperor forgets about the people of Xiao Wangfu, kneeling and flattering was only a fart, compared to making her heart feel better.
But of course, once she feels better, she mustn’t do less.
*Plop* The Emperor put down the letter in his hand on the table and said with a serious face: “Lin Chujiu, is what you said in this letter true?”
“This wangfei guaranteed with her head that what written in the letter is true.” When Lin Chujiu saw the Emperor finally asked about the business, she was relieved.

“Hmm... ...you said that these unscrupulous merchants squeezed the people’s hard-earned money. So why did the Minister of Justice said today, that you forced a merchant to spend huge sum of money to buy things from Xiao Wangfu?”
“Oh... is there such matter? Which shop did the Ministry of Justice say that our Xiao Wangfu forced to buy our things?” Lin Chujiu said with a surprise looked in the face. The Emperor knew that the other party was pretending, but he couldn’t help but praise her inside his heart.
*Cough* The Emperor cleared his throat and said: “The Xingsheng Pawnshop, they said you forced the Xingsheng Pawnshop to issue 50,000 thousand silver tickets.” This matter was related to his decree, which made the Emperor really dissatisfied.
How could Xiao Wangfu not have 200,000 silvers? Lin Chujiu deliberately caused trouble. Although it was the Zhang Family who was troubled, he also lost his face. People thought he treated Xiao Tianyao harshly.
“How could that be?” Lin Chujiu busily said with full of righteousness: “Huangshang, the Ministry of Justice must have been blinded by people, we didn’t force anyone to buy our things. This wangfei estimated that my jewelry is worth 50,000 and then went to the Xingsheng Pawnshop. The manager of Xingsheng Pawnshop said that there is no need for them to take our things and just directly give us 50,000 silvers. This wangfei refused and firmly demanded fair and just transactions. If his majesty doesn’t believe it, you can ask the people present in the scene.”
Obviously, they forced the other party to buy them, Lin Chujiu just take for granted the matter.
The Emperor secretly applauded, but he didn’t show it on his face. He only said: “Is what you said is true?”
“All the sentences this wangfei said are true. If his majesty doesn’t believe it, you can check the pawnshop and you will see my things. His majesty can also ask the eunuch or the other pawnshop to check if my jewelry is worth 50,000 silvers.” Lin Chujiu came ready today. So before the Emperor could open his mouth, she said everything that should be said.
The eunuch who was present turned and faced the emperor. The Emperor took a glance at him and nodded his head: “Xiao Wangfei’s words are true. If these things are false, the Xingsheng Pawnshop will be upset.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Huangshang, the master behind the Xingsheng Pawnshop and Wansheng Grain store is from the same family. These people must have hated Xiao Wangfu because Wangye blocked them from raising the price of grain. This wangfei is asking his majesty to let us strictly investigate them.” Lin Chujiu’s words not only cleaned the charge on Xiao Tianyao but also paved him a way.
The price hike of grain has nothing to do with Xiao Tianyao, but the price of grain has fallen because of Xiao Tianyao’s appearance.
The Emperor wanted their Xiao Wangfu to suffer. But they didn’t shed blood, so both sides were not pleased.
“This wind can’t last long. If what you said is true, this matter must be strictly handled.” The Emperor was like an eagle, spreading its wings nonstop until it catches its prey. So Lin Chujiu didn’t say much.
