The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 317
[Chapter 317 The eldest prince owes debt]
At that moment, the eldest prince didn’t care what the scene was. He stood up and pointed at Lin Tian and scolded him.
He had been unhappy with Lin Tian for a long time, and Lin Tian had put so many obstacles in his way before, so he expressed his dissatisfaction directly.
It’s a pity that his appearance of getting rich made everyone think that he was guilty and that what Lin Tian said was right.
“My dear Lin, what do you mean?”
Sure enough, the emperor also asked Lin Tian.
Although the eldest prince was a little mediocre and his qualifications were extremely mediocre, his character was still good.
What Lin Tian said, naturally, never happened.
“Your Majesty, how dare I talk nonsense? I wonder if the prince still remembers the woman by the Qingming Lake half a month ago? If my information is correct, the eldest prince will marry her.”
“I just don’t know what the eldest prince said today. If that girl knew, what kind of heart would be broken?”
Lin Tian continued.
He was not worried about falling out with the eldest prince’s party at this time. It seemed that Yang Sheng had exposed their master-disciple relationship today for this reason.
In any case, they would eventually be on the opposite side of the eldest prince’s party. If they didn’t target him now, when would they?
Besides, Lin Tian had always been a straightforward person.
“Eldest prince, can you confirm this?”
Hearing what Lin Tian said, even the emperor’s expression became strange.
This was not just a matter of the eldest prince’s breach of trust, but also directly related to the reputation of the royal family!
If it spread to other countries, wouldn’t it make people laugh?
“Father, I am innocent! Don’t listen to this person, he is talking nonsense!”
The eldest prince looked ugly, and he couldn’t sit still in his seat. He hurried to the hall and knelt on the ground with a plop.
Yang Zhiqing was startled and moved aside quietly.
His obvious desire to stay away from Su Lin made Su Lin’s expression even uglier.
“Young girl of the Yang family, since it’s none of your business, go back first. Don’t worry, I won’t force you!”
Although the emperor’s face was not good, he was kind when he spoke to Yang Zhiqing.
After all, he admired Yang Zhiqing’s character of speaking her mind.
Such a strong person is the backbone of the Great Chu!
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!”
Yang Zhiqing’s face immediately broke into a smile, and everyone else couldn’t help but take a breath.
It is well known that Yang Zhiqing is beautiful. Now that she smiles like this, her appearance seems to be glowing.
Even the women in the female seats couldn’t help but look at Yang Zhiqing with envy.
“Lin Tian, if you are groundless, do you know the consequences?”
The emperor looked at Lin Tian with a serious look.
If Lin Tian said a lie, then he would be charged with the crime of spreading rumors.
Dare to spread rumors about the royal family, I’m afraid you think your life is too big!
“Of course I dare not, but if the emperor looks at these people, he will know whether what I said is true or false.”
“I just don’t want to make that woman sad, please understand.”
Lin Tian said, and arched his hands towards the emperor again.
He clearly expressed that he was very innocent. He didn’t want to target Su Lin, but he didn’t want to see others’ infatuation with the wrong person.
“Bring the person in!”
After saying that, Lin Tian clapped his hands at the door of the hall.
Immediately, someone brought in a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup. When
the people in the hall saw this middle-aged woman who was obviously nearly half a hundred years old, their faces became a little unpredictable.
Who would have thought that the eldest prince liked this type?
Su Lin looked at the middle-aged woman who came in, and his face immediately became horrified.
How could Lin Tian find this person!
But his expression made everyone understand their guesses, and they looked at him with even more contempt.
“I didn’t expect the eldest prince to be so kind!”
“But why did he say such things to Miss Yang? Could it be that he just wanted to cover up his tracks?”
“You are all too naive. There must be a sequel!”
Everyone began to talk with their heads down. Although the exact words did not reach Su Lin’s ears,
he also knew that what these people said was definitely not good!
“Su Lin! You are really rebellious!”
When the emperor saw this middle-aged woman, his face turned as black as a pot lid, and he slapped the table vigorously.
This matter is not ordinary. I didn’t expect Su Lin to be so messed up behind his back.
He can actually do this kind of old woman! ?
“Father, please understand. I… I am innocent!”
The emperor had not lost his temper since the princes came of age, so everyone couldn’t help but look at Su Lin with pity.
Su Lin was so scared that he fell to his knees, kowtowed, and kept saying that he was innocent.
But no one at the scene believed it.
The witnesses were already here, could Su Lin still want to quibble?
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid you have misunderstood. Let’s listen to what this mother has to say.”
Lin Tian smiled helplessly when he saw the emperor’s furious look. I guess the emperor was overthinking it.
But the result of the matter… he wouldn’t be very happy if he knew it.
“Who is coming?”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor’s expression eased a little.
He also broke his vow today.
He usually wouldn’t get angry at such a festival, but today Su Lin was really making a fuss.
I think he really needs to think about it carefully, who should the throne be passed on to!
“Your Majesty, I am the mother of Qingfeng Garden… Ten days ago… The eldest prince owed me a hundred taels of silver, and he has not paid it back yet.”
The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup answered tremblingly and stuttered.
She had lived for half her life, but this was her first time entering the palace and meeting the emperor.
So she couldn’t speak clearly.
But everyone knew what she meant.
There were also many playboys present, and they naturally understood places like Qingfeng Garden.
I didn’t expect that the eldest prince looked serious on the surface, but he would go to such places in private!
“Are you serious?”
The emperor’s eyebrows jumped suddenly. What kind of tricks did Su Lin do in places he didn’t know? !
At this time, he only felt his heart twitching, and he seemed to be a little breathless.
Seeing this, Eunuch Shun hurriedly walked behind him and patted him on the back gently.
After a while, the emperor finally recovered.
“I dare not say anything nonsense. Here is the IOU!”
The middle-aged woman was so frightened that she was shaking madly and took out a crumpled piece of paper from the inner layer of her clothes.
