C157 (1/2)

When Lin Shu walked to the outer courtyard's study, the corner of her skirt had already been swept wet. However, when she saw that the study was brightly lit and there were even a few aides waiting below the hall, the chill in her heart immediately disappeared. How was this a father and daughter night talk?

Lin Shu lowered her head and sneered. Lin Pei was overestimating her.

When she entered the room, Lin Pei, who had a tired expression on his face, directly asked: ”Did you do it?”

Lin Shu raised her little face that was somewhat similar to hers, and the corner of her mouth carried a faint smile, ”Didn't father already know that? ”Why did you ask such a question now?”

She still remembered how the Princess Changze had made things difficult for her in his last life. When Lin Pei had helped her, her father had always doted on her … But this man, he must have valued his career more than anything else.

”I knew it was you. I knew it was you. If I knew it would be like this, I would have strangled you when you were a baby. You wouldn't have caused so much trouble.” Lin Pei had been an official for many years, his career had always been smooth sailing, and the only thing that he had ever done was to fall at the hands of his own daughter, ”Why did you do this? ”What good would it do you?”

Initially, he had thought that Lin Shu only wanted to send the servants by Wang Pei's side to the government. This way, the case against Wang Pei would have to be tried anew, but even if the servants by Wang Pei's side died, Lin Shu would not let go of this opportunity.

When the news came out this morning, he suddenly realised that there were times when dead people were more persuasive than living people, and if the servant was alive, no one would believe him even if he were to be identified as the murderer. After all, in the eyes of the public, Wang Pei and him were not able to fight, but the servant was dead, and the public had no choice but to try the case again.

One had to know that the servant's corpse was thrown onto the most bustling street, and the people that were sent by Lin Shu, were almost told that the corpse belonged to the servant next to Wang Pei, and even added fuel to the fire by explaining it. Early in the morning, people came and went, and the news spread like wildfire, wishing that half of the people in the capital knew of this matter.

If all of Empress Dowager Wang were to pay more attention to him … He didn't even dare to think about it.

Lin Shu looked at him, enunciating every word, ”For the sake of survival.”

Lin Pei's mouth moved, he looked at his daughter's pretty face, and said anything.

Lin Shu lowered her head and laughed, saying, ”At that time, the Princess Changze sent the empress dowager flying to fetch me into the palace. You clearly knew better than anyone else that the Princess Changze had ill intentions, but you didn't say anything and almost let the Princess Changze kill my mother. Other than my mother, no one else in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would care about my life or death, but I had no choice but to make these plans for myself.

”Like Sis Hui'er, Sister Qian, they all have their father protecting them. Even if the sky falls, don't worry, but me? Even though the night wind was blowing harder, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't know what would happen the next day or what would happen the next day … I know you're blaming me in your heart, blaming me for going against you everywhere, but I've never thought of going against you. I'm your biological daughter, and even your broken bones have tendons! ”

”If you don't think for me, I must think for myself! You don't pity this daughter of mine, but I have to take good care of my own life … If I die, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to live as well. ”

Lin Pei became even more speechless.

He didn't know when that domineering and arrogant daughter of his had fallen to such a state. He didn't seem to be able to refute every word she said.

He didn't protect her?

Heh, what a joke!

The corner of Lin Pei's mouth revealed a cold smile, as he was completely unlike the usual gentle and refined Assistant Minister Lin, ”I didn't protect you? If I really didn't protect you, then who knows how many methods Princess Changze had to kill you back when you were still in Tzu Ning Palace. If you died in Tzu Ning Palace, how could the masses dare to say anything? It's me, I've always pitied you, and thinking of how you were my own daughter, even if Princess Changze wanted to attack you many times, I still have to stop you. ”

After that, whenever the Princess Changze wanted to make a move on Lin Shu, he would turn a blind eye, but at that time, Lin Shu would already be on her guard, and the Princess Changze would not be able to find a suitable opportunity.

Lin Shu laughed, this was something Lin Pei could only say, was this what a father should say, ”Then do I have to thank father? However, it seemed like there was no point in saying all this now … Did my father send for me late at night to say these things to me? ”

Lin Pei's face alternated between red and white, even the other ministers in the palace did not speak to him like that.
