144 Pity (2/2)

”Cousin, could you please leave me alone?” Lan Gao Ya said slowly. Her eyes are still looking towards him fiercely.

'Jun Min' wants to stop them, but then they heard the sound of splashing.

SPLASH!

”Princess Hua falls to the pond!”

…

A few minutes before

Jun Hua attitude of not acknowledging her own father makes the officials once again remember the history of the girl before them. They cannot say that she's an unfilial daughter because she had almost no contact with her father all these years. She only meets with him for a couple of weeks before had to go because of an incident in Lin family.

They could see that Lin Tang face is no good and that man is already on the verge of explosion, but there is nothing they could do. The difference between a princess and people like them is big. Besides, Lin Tang brought it all upon his self. With his previous conduct, can they say that he didn't have any problem with his attitude?

They didn't dare to talk about it and most of them moved a step back from Lin Tang. Given that he already has some bad relation with an imperial family member, it will be wiser to maintain their distance towards him and didn't stay close with him.

Although Jun Hua has a different surname with the imperial family, she is still the member of imperial family and their power is not to be looked down into. If they're said to go against imperial family because of their friendship towards Lin Tang, who can they blame?

Seeing those officials and nobles back off by themselves, Jun Hua eyes flashed with pity. The man in front of her never knows the real relationship with others as he could only think about himself. It's truly pitiful. A relationship based on money alone would never last long. Unfortunately, most relationships in this era is based on money and power, so she cannot really blame them.

It's just the man in front of her didn't even have a single one person he could call as friend. They all distanced themselves from him and no one dare to stand with him. Indeed, with them only coming for the power Lin Tang held, there is no way they want to bear the burden of him having a problem with an imperial family member.

That look of pity on Jun Hua eyes had somehow made Lin Tang remember that woman. The woman whom he did not love, but he marries her in order to gain even more connection. When he told her to leave, the woman didn't grieve, but she stared at him with the same look of pity. Those eyes, he hates them so much.

As the only son born in the Lin family, he has long known that the Lin family is only powerful in name. Unlike the three families who have resources on their own, the Lin family didn't. Because of that, the only way for him to get more money is through marriage. Besides, with the marriage, he can get the girl and relation with her family, so it's a win-win situation for him.

Although at first he only does it because he's interested in the woman, he comes to enjoy it more and more as times passed by. Anyway, by choosing a powerful wife, he can gain more support to uphold his position as the Prime Minister of Ming Kingdom. Through this position, he has power and ability to control the lives of many people.

He has everything, but that woman look at him with pity as if he didn't have anything. He didn't need that kind of look towards him, especially not from those whom he hates so much.

Jun Hua noticed Lin Tang emotional struggle and sneered inside.

”Please excuse me, Prime Minister Lin Tang. I will be going now,” Jun Hua said and try to walk from the side.

The nobles are all looking towards Lin Tang with complicated looks. It seems the rumor about the poor conduct of the children from the Lin family may have some connection with this man. Not only Chun Maora, even the husband is a bit problematic. The person who is strong as a prime minister is in truth was awful in terms of teaching his children.

Jun Hua walks by the side of the pond and somehow, when Lin Tang wants to give way, he slipped. Jun Hua avoided the stumbling man, but from other people eyes, it looks as if Lin Tang pushed Jun Hua towards the pond.

By the side, Lin San screamed, ”FATHER!”

SPLASH!

”Princess Hua falls to the pond!”
