Chapter 695 - The Culprit Has Been Revealed (1/2)

After listening to Helian Wei Wei, Lord Zhang felt chills ran down his back. He had never felt this sensation before, it was as though there was nothing he could do to hide all the dirty things he had done from this person.

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was unaware of the cause and effect of the incident. He had a vague feeling that the problem was with the fiancee, so he asked Helian Wei Wei hurriedly, “Princess Consort, so you mean that because his fiancee had been stolen, he held a grudge in his heart and prepared these for his vengeance.”

“No. To be exact, her beloved son’s fiancee had been stolen. Being a mother who wants to decide everything for her son, and thinks that her son is the best in the world, she couldn’t accept the fact that those girls would rather choose a playboy over her own son.” Helian Wei Wei rubbed her fingers as her lips curved up into a smile. “Thinking to highly of one’s own son is also a kind of sickness.”

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was stunned because he had never heard of this argument before.

Meanwhile, Lord Zhang yelled like he had been electrocuted. “Old Lady w.a.n.g! The criminal is Old Lady w.a.n.g!”

“You’re not that stupid after all.” Helian Wei Wei smiled, but her gaze was cold. “Such a clever person, yet you couldn’t be a good official, you shall stop being one then.”

Lord Zhang looked over abruptly. “Princess Consort, you can’t…”

Helian Wei Wei did not listen to him, instead she glanced over at Baili Jia Jue and said lazily, “He said I can’t take his position away.”

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs looked left and right. According to the Ancestral System, women of the palace were not allowed to involve themselves in affairs regarding the official positions. Previously, His Highness disliked how Empress Murong wanted to a.s.sign people to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, thus he slapped Empress Murong on the spot, humiliating Empress Murong so badly.

Now by doing this, the Princess Consort must have crossed His Highness’s biggest taboo…

However, Baili Jia Jue just grinned playfully and held Helian Wei Wei’s hand, ma.s.saging it softly. He then said without haste, “Shadow, didn’t you hear the Princess Consort? Remove his official headwear and kick him out.”

“Yes.” Shadow appeared quickly, swiftly moving only one hand.

The black gauze headwear on Lord Zhang’s head was gone just like that, his hair fell around his face in a shameful mess.

Both father and son were kicked out of the Li Manor. Although only a few people were pa.s.sing by the manor because it was late at night, pa.s.sers-by still stared at them as they whispered among themselves.

Helian Wei Wei could not care less. “What an awful official, he even dared to use the Ancestral System to press me. Am I that easy to be pressed down?”

“Yeah.” Baili Jia Jue was still ma.s.saging her hand. In a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, he continued, “You truly aren’t easy to be pressed down, after all, you prefer being on top of me rather than staying bottom, am I right?”

Helian Wei Wei was suddenly speechless, even her ears had turned red.

“I guessed correctly?” Baili Jia Jue enjoyed seeing her embarra.s.sed. Lowering his head, he planted a kiss on the tip of her ear, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with gentleness.

Helian Wei Wei rubbed her ear before she mumbled softly, “There are still people around.”

“Are there?” Baili Jia Jue raised his gaze, and looked towards the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs.

“No, no! Actually, I don’t even exist!” The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs immediately covered his eyes, turned around and left. These days you need to have foresight to be an imperial official!

Helian Wei Wei looked at the figure of the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs who was walking away while murmuring, and started laughing. “These people around you, there is not one of them who don’t fear you.”

Baili Jia Jue did not deny it, and held her tightly with a half smile. “Is it that funny?”

Helian Wei Wei did not speak but continued laughing in his arms, for the way that the Secretary took his leave was too amusing.
