Everyone followed him to the dining room, where they saw several mahogany tables lined up in two long rows, with a variety of dishes placed on them. Steamed sea bass, braised lion's head...these are all delicious and attractive, and the tempting aroma seduce them.
The people did not pounce directly, but hesitated.
"This, this is for us?" They also know that there is no reward for no merit, so how can they enjoy these delicacies?
At this moment, a woman with a gentle and elegant face walked in from the door with a child in her arms.
Seeing the delicate and lovely little girl in the woman's arms, the people knelt on the ground and shouted that the princess was a thousand years old.
After saluting, everyone stood up and heard the soft voice saying: "Don't be formal, please sit down and eat first."
Seeing everyone's nervous and reserved expressions, Mrs. Lin curved her lips and smiled slightly, "Everyone has worked hard along the way. These are Juan Juan's little thoughts. The government and the people are the same family, so there is no need to be polite to us."
Because Ms. Lin was kind-hearted and her smile was refreshing, and she also had a cute fish taco, everyone relaxed a little.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Xie Lin."
The people's hearts were extremely warm. They did not expect that Mrs. Lin and Her Royal Highness the Princess would be so approachable.
So gradually, they dared to say a few words to Mrs. Lin.
But just when the atmosphere was good, a man's rough and angry voice was heard, "Don't forget, everyone, we are here to seek justice. Why doesn't the Ministry of Punishments repair the prison? How can the safety of our people be guaranteed! Why doesn't the Ministry of Household Affairs not repair it? Appropriation! Where is Yu Xiheng, and why is he not doing anything as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
He saw that all these people were attracted by one meal, so he couldn't sit still.
What he said today was enough for a minister at the same level to change his head and body, but the man did it on purpose. Once he was punished, the people would feel cold and all their preparations for today would be in vain.
Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for Lin to speak, it was the common people who spoke first!
The so-called cannibalism is short-tongued and soft-handed. As if they were afraid that Lin and Juanjuan would misunderstand their intentions, the people hurriedly explained.
"No, Mrs. Lin, we are not here to cause trouble."
"Yes, yes, we were just a little worried, so we followed over. We didn't mean to be dissatisfied with the adults."
"..."
The sincere words of the people reached Mrs. Lin's ears. After everyone calmed down, she said: "My husband already knows the purpose of your visit. He is going to do this for you now. I hope you will If you can stay calm and don't get impatient, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment will definitely give everyone an explanation."
With Lin's words, the people's hearts finally settled down. As they ate the delicacies on the table, they couldn't help but praise Mrs. Lin and the princess.
"I knew that at least Master Shangshu and Mrs. Lin would not ignore us!"
"Yes, yes, and the little princess is too cute. Look, she is eating too! Her face is so chubby that I want to pinch it."
"It's true that love comes from the heart. I won't believe anyone who says bad things about your Excellency and Mrs. Lin to me in the future!"
"..."
The sound of everyone's discussion reached Juan Juan's ears, and the little guy curled his eyes happily.
[Great, no one damaged the house, and my mother was not injured! 】
Mrs. Lin smiled and hugged her tightly. After a while, she saw that the people had almost eaten. Ms. Lin thought that the time had come, so she asked Caichun to quietly go down and bring a food box.
After a while, Caichun came back. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the people who were close to hear her.
"Madam, the people have finished eating. Please go and deliver food to the master."
Hearing Caichun's words, the people who had eaten and drank enough looked over one by one. A man with a loud voice asked, "Mrs. Lin, has Master Shangshu not eaten yet?"
Mrs. Lin nodded, frowning slightly, adding a bit of sadness.
"He went to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate after he heard that a death row inmate had escaped early in the morning. He has not returned yet from his busy work, so he probably didn't have time to eat."
After hearing this, the people felt a sense of guilt in their hearts.
It turns out that the adults have known about it for a long time and have been working for them until now.
But they had doubted the Lord because of this before, which was really inappropriate.
Scanning the expressions on their faces, Mrs. Lin curled her lips calmly, and then said to Caichun, "Well, I'll go too and see how his investigation goes."
At this time, the guilt-ridden people also stood up and spoke to each other.
"Mrs. Lin, we also want to see you, sir!"
"Yes, Mrs. Lin, please let us go and have a look, sir."
Seeing the expectant pleading of so many people, Lin nodded after being embarrassed for a while.
"Well, if you want to go, just follow me. He should be very happy to see you."
After hearing the last half of the sentence, the person who was originally wavering also stood up.
Seeing that two-thirds of the people chose to follow her, Mrs. Lin curled her lips, then leaned over and picked up Juanjuan, and whispered: "Come on, Juanbao, mother will take you to watch the fun."
Seeing this huge scene, the man who took the lead at the beginning changed his expression, secretly said something bad, and then ran out to report the news.
But after entering the door of Shangshu Mansion, he could leave wherever he wanted.
Whether intentionally or not, a boy happened to bump into him. The hot tea in his hand splashed all over him, and hot steam floated up from his clothes.
The man hissed in pain, but before he could say anything, the boy spoke first.
"Sorry, sorry, my slave didn't look at the road."
Caiying walked up to them, with the same nervous look on her face, "You're so careless, take this eldest brother to the doctor!"
Just as the man was about to refuse, he was carried down by two young men who looked thin but were actually surprisingly strong.
Not many people noticed this scene, and even if they did, they would praise Shangshu Mansion for its thoughtfulness.
At this time, the guard disguised as a servant dragged the man to a young man.
"Second Young Master, I've brought you here."
The man looked at the handsome young man in front of him in horror, wondering how he was discovered.
Yu Quezhi's dark eyes were cold and stern, and he raised his thin lips, "Take him to the dungeon."
Ignoring the man's desperate struggle, the guard dragged him down easily.
After the corridor returned to silence, Yu Quezhi looked at the thin boy in front of him.
The boy's face was so pale that he was sickly, and his face was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes painted with thick ink.
He was about to leave, but was stopped.
"What to do?"
The boy didn't speak, but looked back at Yu Quezhi, his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Going to find my sister again?"
Yu Chuezhi was extremely unhappy, so his tone was serious. He lowered his voice and threatened the bold little kid in front of him, "I'm warning you, just protect my sister in the dark. Don't show up in front of her. Don't take off your scarf." , don’t show your face, do you hear me?”
