Chapter 483: The unwilling crown princess.
Chi Lian physically pulled her head back in shock, what exactly did the emperor mean by his words? Was it his intention to accuse her of something?
"My wife does not know your majesty I have not told her about the issue yet." Jun Muyang responded further confusing Chi Lian. She looked at him with many questions in her eyes but he gave a reassuring smile in response.
"I see." The emperor said.
"Am I being accused of something here your majesty?" Chi Lian blurted out the question which was on her mind because she could not stand this air of mystery that these two were perpetrating. "You have just asked me if I will I run the families of criminals that are already living in the cold town out of their homes too. Your use of the word ’too’ specifically means that I have run someone out of their home previously but I do not have any recollection of such an event. Every house, building or field that I acquired in that town was done legally. Money was paid to all those people and there is video and paper documentation of all these transactions. If someone is making an accusation against me then I will fight it head on." She spoke so clearly and sternly, withdrawing all pretense of meekness and humbleness.
The old madam pressed her hand and Chi Lian almost shrugged it off, she had done enough curbing of her behavior for the day. Was she supposed to say ’thank you for making those allegations emperor I am highly honored!!!"
"Ran, leave the girl alone for heaven’s sake, this is what, the third time you are gripping her hand to stop her from speaking her mind. " the emperor said this to the old madam. Ran was the name Chi Lian sometimes heard the old master using when he was calling her.
"I apologize your majesty, I am just overly protective of Chi-Chi." the old madam smiled politely and she bowed.
"What worries you does not worry your grandson, just look at him, he is smiling because his wife is now back to her usual self. Anyway this is the version of the girl which I prefer, not whatever she was previously doing. Look young lady Chi, someone went to the police station and accused you of forcefully evicting some of the previous owners and taking over their properties. One Mu something, she is a woman. There was no official report filed since she changed her mind but someone in the station at the cold town knows that you are related to commissioner Bolin so they called him and he called your husband. I became aware of the information because I am interested in the changes you are going to bring to the town, and the empire at large. I am one of the people that are rooting for you." the empire raised his fist and he nodded.
He was rooting for her!, this was news to her. Then again_, she thought, the whatever she achieved could be tied to her family since she would empower them and this would be good for him if Rize married into their family. She felt more and more like a pawn being moved on his board.
