Chapter 344: Protective Family (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Ruyue was dealt with. This was the first serious incident in more than half a month since the Palace Academy started school.

Lin Ruyue was originally the daughter of a concubine in the family. She relied on her talent to enter the palace school. If everything went smoothly, her status as a princess’s companion would increase her net worth.

However, with this incident, her reputation was ruined.

It would be difficult to say that she could be married to a good family in the future.

Everyone could not help but be shocked.

It was said that accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. One had to be careful in the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao was also in the wrong today. No matter how unreasonable Lin

Ruyue was, she shouldn’t have pushed her into the water.

She was punished to copy the Analects.

This punishment… was honestly considered light.

“Why do you think she’s so lucky?” a young lady muttered.

Everyone knew why the punishment was so painless.

From the beginning to the end, the Grand Empress Dowager did not scold her. This meant that the Grand Empress Dowager agreed with her actions.

Of course, no one thought that the Grand Empress Dowager was protecting Su Xiaoxiao. In everyone’s opinion, the Grand Empress Dowager was just too angry at Lin Ruyue, so she would not punish Su Xiaoxiao for teaching Lin Ruyue a lesson.

As for the Grand Empress Dowager doing this, wasn’t she afraid that the world would laugh at her for being unfair?

They were clearly all wrong. Could it be that because Su Xiaoxiao had “pleased” her, she had pardoned the other party’s sins?

The Grand Empress Dowager had no husband, no children, and no mother. When one had nothing to ask for, they naturally had nothing to fear.

No matter what happened, she had no desires.

The relationship between the royal court and the harem was intertwined. Any seemingly inconspicuous matter might have countless interests hidden behind it.

Strictly speaking, it was not a small matter for the Lin family’s daughter to be expelled.

The Empress Dowager would definitely ask.

The Empress Dowager would not go against the Grand Empress Dowager, but in order to give the Lin family an explanation, would she find a reason to punish that little girl?

After school, the two princesses went to Yongshou Palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

Princess Hui An glanced at Princess Jingning coldly. “Why are you so close to

Princess Jing Ning’s eyelashes trembled as she said without changing her expression, “Actually, there’s something I’ve been hesitating about telling you.” “What is it?” Princess Hui An asked angrily.

Princess Jing Ning said seriously, “Lin Ruyue… once said bad things about you. She said that you… have big breasts and no brains… you’re an idiot.”

Princess Hui An was speechless!

Fifteen minutes later, Princess Hui An stormed into the Empress Dowager’s bedroom.

Princess Jingning stood at the door and listened to her stupid sister complain about Lin Ruyue indignantly. She was like an angry little fighting chicken.

“I don’t care, I don’t care! If Grandmother lets her come back, I won’t come to Eternal Life Palace again!”

“Why ask her to come here to explain? She definitely won’t admit it! She lied to me at Ming Yuexuan in the afternoon!”

“Jingning told me! She definitely won’t lie to me!”

Jingning never lied.

That was indeed the case before today.

Su Xiaoxiao left the palace and got into Su Mot s carriage leisurely.

Su MO looked at her calm expression. If not for the fact that he had a spy, Eunuch Sun, he would never have guessed that this girl had fought with someone in the palace.

That didn’t seem right.

It was a one-sided thrashing by the little girl.

Su MO said, “Aren’t you going to tell me?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Tell you what?”

Su MO looked at her like an elder brother.

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “There’s indeed such a thing.”

She slowly placed the book bag on the table. “The master punished me to copy the Analects.”

Su MO asked, “What happened? Have you eaten the cause and effect?”

This matter did not end so easily.

Su Yuan worked in the Ministry of War, and opposite him was the office of the three dukes.

It was almost time to leave the palace. Captain Lin packed up and planned to leave.

Just as he reached the door, a subordinate came to report, “His Majesty has summoned you to the imperial study.”

Captain Lin held an important position and it was normal for him to be summoned. He did not think too much about it and immediately went.

When he arrived at the imperial study, he realized that Su Yuan was also there.

The Lin family had been in their camp since Emperor Jing Xuan was still Prince Ruyang, and so had the Su family. Because of this, the two families were still considered harmonious in the officialdom.

In addition, the Lin family originally wanted to get married to the Su family, and Su Yuan agreed. However, Su MO and his second daughter were not compatible, so this marriage could only be dropped.

His eldest daughter was already married. His third daughter, Lin Ruyue, was compatible with Su Mo. However, Lin Ruyue was a concubine’s daughter. As the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Su MO naturally would not marry a concubine’s daughter..
