Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 47 - 46: Can She Really Hear My Thoughts?

Su Juan met Vice Minister Mo’s scrutinizing gaze and grinned, "Lord, rest assured! I’m just going to say a few fair words and come right back."

Vice Minister Mo looked doubtful.

[Only a fool would come back!]

Su Juan patted her backside and left, leaving Vice Minister Mo behind, her feet seemingly greased, running swiftly, afraid that Vice Minister Mo might hold her back.

The Old Emperor was someone who knew how to pick people. Look at that, he chose Mo Youqian, someone fully devoted to the Ministry of Revenue, diligent and conscientious, ready to bring up old accounts and verify them one by one, wishing he could live in the Ministry of Revenue every day.

It’s said that the Minister of Revenue is truly sick, scared into illness.

Actually, Su Juan had long finished her official duties, but still got caught by Vice Minister Mo every day to do his work.

She had been waiting these past two days for the festival break, a full fifteen days! Isn’t it joyous?

Back in the company days, even during major holidays, the break was only for a few days, really stingy.

After Su Juan left, Vice Minister Mo shook his head repeatedly, sigh.

Over this period, he actually discovered that Su Juan indeed had talent, was smarter than others, understood many things herself, and those she didn’t, could grasp quickly. So, he intended to promote her.

After all, back then, he was suppressed by Shangguan... Now recalling it, there’s a bitterness in his heart, wishing to guide her more in places he could, teach her more.

Hoping that in the future, her path could be further and steadier.

But this... girl is truly lazy, although not to the extreme, after all, she never missed a morning court session, at most just grumbled, but in the Ministry of Revenue, if it’s not her work, she doesn’t do it at all.

Thus, even if he intends to promote her, it’s hard to advance her!

...

At this time, Su Juan without knowing Vice Minister Mo is worrying for her future, just arrived outside the hall and could hear the sound of quarrels from inside.

The eunuch whom Su Juan usually got along well with quietly came out to remind her, "Lord Su, better wait a bit, there’s a dispute inside, entering now might involve you."

Su Juan was instantly curious, "What’s going on so well that there’s a fuss in front of Your Majesty?"

The eunuch whispered, "Earlier after court session, Your Majesty asked Lord Duke to send the warm clothes into the palace, but Lord Duke ran into the Wu Family people after returning to the Duke Mansion, couldn’t leave, Your Majesty couldn’t wait, so sent people to urge, and that urging got everyone into the palace."

"See, there’s the fuss."

Su Juan fell silent.

Soon, someone came out from inside, "Lord Su, Your Majesty invites you in."

Su Juan then tidied her official robe and hat, and followed the eunuch into the hall.

At this moment, there was a heated argument on both sides, faces flushed red.

Duke Ping was clumsy with words, even Xie Xun, as eloquent as he was, couldn’t compete with those five people from three generations.

The Old Emperor was fiddling with the warm clothes, warming his hands, amusing himself greatly; if not for the commotion below, he would have wanted to try it on right then and there.

[What’s wrong with the Old Emperor?]

The Old Emperor paused his fiddling, "?"

What did I do now?

[Duke Ping had only two pieces, he wanted to fleece one!]

The Old Emperor pulled a stern face, I am the Emperor of Jin, what’s wrong with fleece one? What’s he needing so many for, can he wear them all?

This Su Juan, really shows favoritism.

Duke Ping coughed lightly to indicate he could actually wear them.

[Isn’t the palace full of warming fireplaces, and here you are, as the Emperor of Jin, snatching your minister’s things, slacking off as usual.]

Earl Shengping was madly agreeing in his heart, Xiao Su certainly knows how to speak, exactly the point!

The Old Emperor cleared his throat, put the item aside, continued to look impassively at the crowd below, "Now that everyone is here, speak quickly if you have anything to say, it’s almost the festival season, harmony is the most important."

Such trivial matters, to fuss like this? Better not let it delay the Emperor’s festival break.

Xie Xun took the lead, "Your Majesty, yesterday it was Miss Wu who provoked first, argued with Heir Consort, I, an innocent civilian, got pelted with a cup of wine and blocked by Wu Family at the door, the Heir Consort and Mr. Liu of Earl Shengping Mansion were present as witnesses, begging Your Majesty to discern clearly and give me justice."

After Xie Xun spoke, Su Juan followed with, "Your Majesty, it indeed occurred as Mr. Xie stated, this humble minister can serve as his witness."

The Old Emperor nodded slightly, indeed trivial matters.

Wu Ziyu, with reddened eyes, looked at Liu Xuan, her gaze filled with tears, concealing endless grievances.

She said tearfully, "Your Majesty, the civilian woman did have an argument with the Heir Consort, but it was the Heir Consort who provoked first, the civilian woman in anger threw wine, Mr. Xie is her accomplice, how can their words be true?"

Su Juan looked wronged, "Is there a misunderstanding, Miss Wu? I have always treated you with courtesy, never spoke harshly."

[My dear aunt, when have I ever provoked you?]

[Clearly, it was you rushing up, one moment saying I can’t do poetry, chess, calligraphy, painting, and don’t deserve to stay in Jing Garden, next saying I publicly show my face in court against the female commandments, this is such a huge burden, Heaven knows why I got saddled with it!]

Wu Ziyu was red-eyed with anger, "You didn’t say, but you thought of it!"

As soon as these words came out, many present knew very well, Su Juan indeed had the knack to infuriate people, not just Wu Ziyu, even the Old Emperor sometimes wanted to strangle her.

Minister Wu’s face changed slightly, this shouldn’t be said, although he repeatedly told his granddaughter at home, what’s wrong with her? She turns her back and ignores it!

Su Juan even more wronged, "Your Majesty, Miss Wu is clearly speculating about this humble minister, I feel unjust."

Wu Ziyu, "You know what you’re thinking yourself!"

[Aren’t you amazing, knowing exactly what my dear aunt is thinking!]

[Minister Wu has such a capable granddaughter, how come she was foolish enough to support an incompetent Prince Heng?]

Minister Wu’s face stiffened, instinctively glanced at the Old Emperor.

He saw the Old Emperor squinting, not surprised by this, after all, the court rivalry between Prince Han and Prince Heng had been ongoing for long, Minister Wu targeted Prince Han several times, clearly supporting Prince Heng, but Prince Heng really was mediocre, even embezzled funds.

At this moment, Minister Wu didn’t dare make a sound, but inwardly sneered, though Prince Heng was mediocre, he was not as bloodthirsty as Prince Han. Such court matters, what do you know as a woman?

[Forget it, not worth arguing with the Wus, soon enough, the whole family will be executed, with the women demoted and exiled, rather pitiable.]

Wu Family people, "???"

Others present, "!!!"

The Old Emperor held his breath, afraid of interrupting Su Juan’s talking, hoping she would say something useful rather than nonsense.

But Wu Ziyu shouted, "Su Juan, what nonsense are you babbling!"

Su Juan was suddenly shocked, startled, confused, what did I say now?

[Damn! Could she really hear what I’m thinking in my heart?]

Everyone except Wu Ziyu went dark-faced.
