Finest Servant

Chapter 417 The Empress?

When Lin Wanrong, led Du Xiuyuan and others down the mountain, even though it was already late in the evening, countless onlookers had gathered. Soldiers held aloft torches, lighting up the night as if it were day. Before tonight was over, news of Lord Lin's bombardment of "Jade Virtue Fairy Hall" would spread throughout the Great Hua, and no one knew what kind of reaction it would provoke. Du Xiuyuan and the others secretly wiped their sweat for General Lin, but he alone seemed carefree, smiling and joking with everyone.

"General," Du Xiuyuan, who had been scouting ahead, hurried back with an unusually grave face, "Several people have blocked our army's path ahead. It is—" He paused, lowering his voice, "it's Minister Ye from the Ministry of Personnel, Minister Liang from the Ministry of Rites, and various officials and scholars from the Three Pavilions and Six Ministries, as well as Prince Cheng—"

Lin Wanrong was surprised but laughed twice, "No harm, no harm. Perhaps these honorable gentlemen are here to present a plaque to praise me. Brother Du, let's go forward and take a look."

Seeing Lin Wanrong's lack of surprise, as if he didn't take these influential figures seriously, Du Xiuyuan admired him secretly. A man who dared to speak, act, and take responsibility, truly an extraordinary person!

As Lin Wanrong was about to move forward, Miss Xiao poked her head out of her sedan, asking, "My Dear, what's happening up ahead?"

Lin Wanrong smiled, "Some people have come to visit me. Qingxuan, you and your junior sister stay here and rest for a while. I'll be back soon."

Xiao Qingxuan smiled softly, taking out a golden waist token from her bosom. After gazing at it with a faint mist in her eyes, full of reminiscence and longing, she beckoned him and whispered, "My Dear, come here, I have something to tell you."

When Lin Wanrong approached, Xiao Qingxuan handed the token to him and said softly, "Take this. If anyone dares to trouble you, show them this, and no one will dare touch a single hair on my husband."
