C255 inferiors (2/2)

”Alright then.” Wei He liked to listen to him. Besides, when had his master ever lied to him?

”Yes.” Wei He nodded and thought of someone, ”Master, I'm a little curious about Lin Mu Gan now.”

The last time he had rejected Lin Mu Gan, he had left the Imperial Advisor's estate in anger, and no one knew what had happened to him afterwards.

”Since you're curious, there's no harm in taking a look.” Qin Fei pampered her like a princess. No, she was a princess to begin with.

Qi He began to mutter the word ”chase” to himself. Soon, Lin Mu Gan's image appeared in the mirror. He seemed to be cursing in front of an official's residence.

”You all look down on people with your dog eyes. Don't tell me that the Humble Class students can't get even the slightest bit of respect?” ”I am ten years old, but I am not a match for those rich and powerful young masters. How can the mysterious imperial court raise you dog officials?!”

The steward's face darkened, ”Do not insult my lord. If it weren't for the fact that you've already read the books, I would have sued the government for insulting a court official!” ”Also, you should know the reason why my master doesn't want to see you. I advise you that since your thoughts are inconsistent with the politics of today, you should go home.”

The news had already spread throughout the capital. There was a poor scholar begging for an official, but he was always rejected.

”You officials are protecting each other without any laws. You even said that there is something wrong with my mind and I have not been accepted. Who can know the truth?”

He only wanted a chance, but no one gave him that chance.

The butler shook his head, ”Sir Lin, what is the use of telling me? Perhaps this is your life.”

With that, the butler entered the mansion and closed the door.

Lin Yuan sat on the stairs in a daze, dejected. Was this really fate? He had to endure ten years of hardship. His wife and parents had done their best to get into the top scholar for the sake of him.

The most important thing for a scholar was to gain face, but as things stood, he no longer had the face to return home.

He had let down his wife, and even more, he had let down his ambition.

Suddenly, he roared into the sky, ”Good heavens! Why are you so unfair! ”

Perhaps the heavens had really heard it and it actually began to rain. There was nothing by his side as he quietly sat in the rain.

He hated these people. He hated these people who had humiliated his talent.

In his hometown, he could easily write an essay and become a model for children to study, but in the capital, he became worthless. In the eyes of others, his meticulously crafted script was like scrap paper and he couldn't even be bothered to look at it.

Lin Yun Gan had gone from being a favored child of heaven to becoming a nobody begging for mercy like a beggar. How could he accept the difference between the two of them?

Rain dripped down his cheeks and onto the steps, hoping that the carp would leap into the sky and ignore the cruelty of reality. These high steps were impossible without gold and silver as a foundation.

This is the difference between the treatment of the poor and the rich.

The rain blurred his vision. In his mind, he was thinking about his elderly parents and his virtuous wife.

His wife had indeed suffered a lot. His heart was filled with guilt. He had originally wanted to become a high official so that his wife would be able to live a happy life with him.

What was more pitiful was that his parents, who had worked hard all their lives and fought hard for him all these years to make him study, had not been willing to spend any money to cure their serious illness. Now they had fallen sick and hoped that he would return home in glory, but everything had gone down the drain.
