Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 221 I've been taken advantage of, why don't you cry if you don't laugh?

"Did you ask the old man?"

The corners of Wang Tuo's eyes twitched, and he said displeasedly:
"You are knowledgeable and talented, and there are still things in this world that you can't solve?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled indifferently:

"My lord doesn't know something. The reason why the grass-roots people ask you for help is because..."

Lin Xiao paused on purpose.

"Because of what?"

"Because Caomin saw the imperial concubine yesterday, she seemed to be a little... um, so Caomin ventured to guess whether her natal family is very powerful?"

"Is the imperial concubine rude to His Majesty again?"

Wang Tuo raised his eyebrows.

The amount of information in this sentence is a bit large, Lin Xiao was stunned for a while, then recovered and nodded:

"Ah."

After Wang Tuo listened, he snorted coldly:
"Isn't it just because she is the eldest daughter of the Chen family! What's the big deal?! In the end, she's not a royal concubine, and she's trampled underfoot!"

Wang Tuo's voice was full of strong sarcasm and contempt, and Lin Xiao was terrified when he heard it.

The imperial concubine is really vulnerable in his heart!

Could there be some deep hatred between them?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao hurriedly smiled, asked Wang Tuo to sit down, and filled him with tea himself.

This time, Wang Tuo did not refuse, nor did he show any impatience.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief watching him drink the tea in the cup in one go.

"Master Prime Minister, I don't know whether to ask or not to ask a question?"

"You want to ask why the old man hates the imperial concubine so much?"

Wang Tuo saw through her thoughts.

Lin Xiao nodded, but didn't speak, just acquiesced.

She does want to know why.

"Hmph, if she hadn't obstructed it, Wang Yao would have been the empress of the palace long ago!"

A sinister light flashed in Wang Tuo's eyes.

Lin Xiao opened his mouth slightly.

She never expected that it would be like this!

"Of course, I didn't give her good fruit. Doesn't she want to be a queen? Oh, my daughter can't be made, and she shouldn't even think about it. Let her be the imperial concubine for the rest of her life!"

Wang Tuo sneered again and again.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao felt chills in his heart.

She could feel that Wang Tuo's words came from the heart, not like a fake.

"You just said that the imperial concubine's natal family is the Chen family. Is that Chen family very powerful?"

Although Lin Xiao had learned some information about the Chen family from the first princess Li Xianxian last night, she still pretended not to know anything, in order to find out what Wang Tuo said.

Sure enough, when Wang Tuo heard her question, he was stunned for a while, and then his expression became extremely ugly:

"The Chen family, whether in the capital or in the court, can be said to be a powerful force. If it weren't for the restraint of several families, I'm afraid they would be even more rampant."

The Chen family, relying on their ancestors to open up territories for the Great Xia Dynasty and make contributions, has become more and more presumptuous!
Their tentacles have spread everywhere, and there are many important officials in the court

They were all bought or controlled by members of the Chen family.

"It's no wonder that the emperor always stays in the imperial study when discussing important matters, so that's how it is!"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized.

She thought it was because Li Yuquan didn't fall in love with Shang Dynasty, but now it seems that there are many ulterior secrets hidden behind it.

"Do you want to vent your anger, Prime Minister?" He asked tentatively.

"Why are you so angry?"

Wang Tuo sneered.

The power of the Chen family spreads all over the fields, even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it is one of the best!
He didn't believe that the kid in front of him who hadn't even grown his hair could do anything!
"this."

Lin Xiao hesitated.

Wang Tuo glanced at her coldly:
"Fart!" His eyes gradually lit up, and finally, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and he said contemptuously:
"Well, you ghost spirit!"

Lin Xiao smiled wickedly:

"So, this matter is up to you!"

Wang Tuo stood up and left proudly.

Lin Xiao looked at his back with deep eyes and a sly smile on his mouth.

Royal concubine?
snort!
Just wait and see!
Time flies by.

In a blink of an eye, the charity auction started as scheduled in the Royal Courtyard.

The Royal Courtyard is located on the outskirts of the capital, and it is an extremely large manor.

The place is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the emperor would bring his concubines to other courtyards to escape the heat in the hot summer season.

At this moment, it was evening, and there were luxury carriages parked in front of the gate of the other courtyard. Each carriage was pulled by a tall horse. It looked extremely luxurious and magnificent.

In the manor, there are many guards patrolling back and forth, and in the largest garden of the manor, there are aristocratic families and gentry gathered, and they all come to participate in the auction.

Fortunately, the aristocratic family said that the gentry, as the name suggests, are actually wealthy common people. They are all the lowest business status, and they are looked down upon by others, let alone have the opportunity to meet the emperor.

These gentry were very excited, thinking how they could show their faces in the celebrity circle in the capital, so as to give their business status a boost!

Zhao Qian counted the bank notes excitedly. He didn't expect that before the auction started, he would already be earning a lot of money just from the entrance fee.

"Oh, I knew the entrance fee would be doubled, 100 taels per person."

Lin Xiao regretted setting the entrance fee lower.

If she knew there were so many rich people, she should have asked for more!
Zhao Qian didn't think so. He felt that the ticket price of 50 taels per person was considered sky-high. Besides, this was just admission, and the main event hadn't even started yet!

At this time, several dudes in silk and satin clothes came in from the door under the guidance of a court lady.

They wear golden jewelry on their bodies, and the huge pearl necklaces on their necks are shining brightly.

There is something called 'arrogance' on their faces, as if the whole world wants to bow down to them.

"who are they?"

Lin Xiao looked at those arrogant men and couldn't help asking Zhao Qian in a low voice.

She always felt that those men looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she met them.

"They are the young masters of the Chen family."

Zhao Qian's tone was full of contempt.

A smile floated on Lin Xiao's face.

It was them!
No wonder the appearance is somewhat similar to that of the imperial concubine.

Lin Xiao couldn't help gloating a little, these people are probably going to be unlucky!
Seeing Lin Xiao's gloating smile, Zhao Qian was a little surprised:
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"You've been taken advantage of, why don't you cry if you don't laugh?"

As he spoke, Lin Xiao greeted them with a smile all over his face, and shouted:

"Hey, aren't these Mr. Chen, welcome!"

Her voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention.

Those members of the Chen family looked at her with contempt and sarcasm in their eyes, as if they were looking at a clown.

"Get out! Don't get in the way!"

One of the handsome young masters shook his hand, his eyes filled with contempt and even a bit of disgust.
