on't you think those people in the cabinet are so easy to persuade Let's put aside what happened in Xian Chao for now. Once we start a war, almost the entire Qin state's operating system will be invol...Chapter 413: The Crown Prince Was Insulted

"Although my husband has been promoted and his salary has increased over the past two years, the imperial treasury is often short of funds, leading to delayed payments. What can we do It's still up to me, a woman, to support our family by running two small side rooms and selling embroidered work with my neighbors."

"Master, why don't you ask those corrupt officials and scoundrels who live in the inner city, with deep courtyards, elaborate decorations, and hundreds of servants at their beck and call Why come to my humble abode instead"

Several rebukes in a row left Li Chen humiliated and embarrassed.

The Three Treasures saw Li Chen being wronged and immediately wanted to lash out.

Li Chen waved his hand, stopping Sānbǎo.

"Yes, you are right. I was too forward. Please forgive me, Madam."

Li Chen actually bowed to the woman in purple.

Now, it was the woman in purple who felt embarrassed.

"No, no need for that. It's just this woman of the house who doesn't know proper etiquette. It's just that our family is down on its luck right now, and the master is most likely unable to come back. I don't know what the future holds."

The woman in purple clothes began to cry again as she spoke.

At this moment, Xu Junlou walked over and said to Li Chen: "Sir, my family is truly unable to entertain guests. If there is nothing else, I kindly ask you to return for now"

This time, Li Chen no longer insists.

He walked to the door, then suddenly as if remembering something, he turned his head and asked Xu Junlou: "Did your uncle get you a spot in the palace examination before Do you know"

Xu Junlou's face turned pale, and he said, "I know. I was already reviewing my homework, but looking at it now, there probably isn't much chance."

"Study hard."

Li Chen said calmly, “Your uncle will be back.”

Xu Junlou was taken aback, but before he could speak, Li Chen had already left with the three treasures.

"Auntie, is this person really Uncle's friend" Xu Junlou asked.

The woman in purple shook her head and said, "I never know about your uncle's affairs in the officialdom. He doesn't have any friends, and people dislike his temperament. He can't fit in with those circles either. I've never met him."

Xu Junlou seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and chased after him.

"Sir, please wait!"

As Li Chen walked to the front gate of the Xu family's house, he heard Xu Junlou's voice and turned his head to look.

Xu Junlou arrived before Li Chen, panting heavily. He suddenly bowed deeply, saying sincerely: “I don’t know your name, sir, but you possess an air of nobility and grace that surpasses ordinary people. If it is possible, I beg you to help my uncle seek justice. Even if I lose my position, as long as my uncle can return safely, it would be a great kindness. I, Bi Hong, am willing to serve you as a horse or ox in repayment for this immense favor.”

Li Chen smiled and turned to Sanshao, saying, "See That's what it means to be loyal and righteous."

Sān Bǎo nodded, also quite appreciating Xú Jūn lóu's kindheartedness in repaying his kindness.

"Alright, I understand."

Li Chen said, "Just put your heart back in your stomach, and tell your aunt not to be too sad or worried. People will definitely come back. As for whether you become a cow or a horse, it's up to you."

Xu Junlou was taken aback.

What does this mean

To serve this young master like a cow or a horse, what qualifications would he even have

Without waiting for him to think further, Li Chen had already left.

This time, he never caught up again.

"Your Highness, shall we return to the palace"

After leaving the Xu family, Sānbǎo asked.

"Go to the Ministry of Justice prison."

Li Chen said indifferently, "The crooked winds and evil spirits of the Ministry of Justice should be rectified."

Sanyao's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately changed direction, heading towards the location of the Criminal Department within the inner city.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!d slammed his head to the ground, Li Chen, with a stoic expression, finally showed a hint of a smile. He said, "Since that's the case, then this palace looks forward to King Zhao's performance."After...
