Magistrate Liao subtly nodded at him. The corner of his mouth which was drooping earlier was now curled into an evil smile directed at Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei exchanged a gaze with Baili Jia Jue, though the man's deep and black eyes showed no emotion.
The several imperial officials from the provincial capital reacted rather excitedly at Master Liao's appearance. They instinctively looked toward Magistrate Liao.
As a matter of fact, the reason why Magistrate Liao prospered in his career was mostly because of this particular son.
Master Liao was the only nephew of that elder in the Capital, so he was much loved and cherished.
Rumors had it that the elder had intentions to let his nephew take his place, so it was safe to say that all the power and influence would one day fall into Master Liao's hands.
One of the imperial officials who favored the Helian family stood up right away and said with a flattering smile, "Second Master, why are you here?"
After the title was mentioned, Helian Wei Wei raised a brow and her lips were curled into a ridiculing smile.
When Yuan Ming heard the words, he too popped out, which was rare for him. He said with evil delight, "Woman, I think you should just reveal the identity of your man. These imperial officials are just some b*stards who only recognize authority. They might work together to set you up later. I've known too much of these human tricks."
Helian Wei Wei tilted her head and gave it a thought, it seemed like she was really considering Yuan Ming's words.
Master Liao walked over to Helian Wei Wei proudly, each step and action he took was showing off his arrogance. "I want to sue the county magistrate of Fuping County, Wei Wei!"
Chapter 486 - Bring Out The Big Guns
"Suing Lord Wei? Suing Lord Wei for what?"
The commoners exchanged glances with each other as they were unable to get hold of the situation at the moment.
However, they were worried and concerned inevitably about it.
Obviously, Master Liao, who is wearing silk woven clothes has more power than Yan Dazhao.
Will Lord Wei get into trouble for going against him?
Liu Yin looked anxiously toward Helian Wei Wei.
There was a hint of sarcasm on Helian Wei Wei's side face. "You want to sue me?"
"That's right!" Master Liao squinted his eyes and said, "Not only did you not compensate and apologize to me when you ran into me, but you injured my guards as you pleased and locked them up. You are not worthy of the position as an official with such an abuse of power!"
Chen Liang's face turned black with rage when he heard that.
He knew better than anyone else what had happened at that time!
This little rascal with the surname Liao was apologizing without the slightest hesitation at that time!
Seeing that he's not around, he dares to bully boss now?
Just you wait!
In contrast, with Chen Liang's anger, Helian Wei Wei laughed instead. "Oh? Then in Master Liao's opinion, what should I do to secure my position as an official? Do I have to compensate you for an outfit?"
"Will you even be able to pay for my clothes?" Master Liao was a lot more arrogant than Magistrate Liao. "I know what you are just by looking at your poor clothing. Open your eyes and look at mine, you won't be able to afford it even if you take out the salary for your whole life!"
Governor Chen almost flipped his table when he heard that, this Master Liao is certainly afraid of nothing as he has someone to back him up.
Yet he's still nagging about a piece of cloth over here!
Not sure if I should be amazed by his st*pidity, or mock his naivety!
Father and son really think alike.
However, Chen Liang had a more obvious reaction, he clenched his teeth and said, "This Liao is seriously looking for a beating, he dares to show his trickery just because I didn't beat him up for a day!"
Little Seventh Prince straight away snorted and said, "He dares to compare his wealth to that of Third Brother and Third Aunt? Is his brain not fully grown yet?"
Master Liao was completely clueless about what people said about him, he spoke louder than anybody else as he was wealthy, "Besides, what about my guards whom you have beaten up, you want to settle this with some silvers? In your dreams!"
"What do you want then?" Baili Jia Jue tidied his sleeves in a leisurely manner and slowly lifted his gaze…
Little Bald Head lowered his tone and said, "Look, Third Brother is going to bring out the big guns!"
Chen Liang blinked his eyes and asked, "What big guns?"
"How would I know? I'm not my Third Brother." Little Seventh Prince bit on his meat bun angrily and looked askance at Chen Liang. "You need to step back a little, my Third Aunt has said that I can't let you go outside."
Chen Liang was left speechless.
Why does the word 'let' sounded so weird when Little Seventh Prince said it?
Meanwhile, in the yamen.
Master Liao's last hour had come and yet he was still completely unaware of his misfortune. He said haughtily with his nose in the air, "Apologize to me in public and compensate me 100 or 200 silvers."
"100 or 200 silvers?" Helian Wei Wei looked at him from head to toe before mocking him, "Like father like son indeed, how bold of Master Liao to say that!"
Yuan Ming did not remain idle either, he yawned lazily and said, "Woman, he's clearly trying to cheat you for the silver."
Helian Wei Wei conversed with Yuan Ming via her conscious, her tone was patient, "He will have to be alive to take the silver…"
Yuan Ming stopped talking when he heard what she said, he just smiled evilly while floating in the air behind Helian Wei Wei, waiting for a show to put on.
Master Liao obviously could not hear their conversation; he continued to say arrogantly, "I dare say so because I have the power. I didn't want to do this at first, but Lord Wei, you're going too far, abusing your power to arrest my men, and questioning my father here. What right do you have to do this?"
The imperial officials from the provincial capital finally got their excuses, they glanced at Helian Wei Wei with disagreeing looks and said, "Lord Wei, you are indeed at fault in this matter, you have to apologize."
"Apologize?" Helian Wei Wei sneered and said, "My Lords, on what stand are you asking me to apologize, are you simply fearful of Master Liao's background?"
The gazes of the imperial officials fell on Helian Wei Wei's with disagreement looks upon hearing what she said. "Lord Wei, what you said is not true. We obey the law and act accordingly, please stop saying things that will agitate the people. If you insist on doing so, we will have no choice but to act accordingly to the laws and dismiss you from your position temporarily."
"Dismiss him from his position? Do you have the right to do that?" A query could be heard from the crowd.
The imperial officials initially wanted to lift their heads and see who was the fool who dared criticize their way of handling the case.
But in the end…
As soon as they turned around, they were so shocked that they stuttered, "Lord, Lord Chen!"
They never thought that the governor, who was supposed to be inspecting the living conditions of the people in the provincial capital, would appear in a small county like Fuping.
And he's actually standing among the crowd listening to the trial!
Judging from his clothing, he seems to have the intention of making an inspection trip incognito.
The imperial officials instantly felt short of something, they quickly stood up and asked, "Why, why have you come?"
Governor Chen thought to himself, you would have dismissed the Princess Consort of her position if I don't show up!
In that case, His Highness will be extremely furious. Not only these people, even someone as innocent as me will be caught up in the consequences as well!
Governor Chen subconsciously took a glance at the direction of Baili Jia Jue when he thought about this.
<
br /> Baili Jia Jue was still tall and slender as always, his handsome side face shone like a saber, so cold and superior that it could sting the eyes.
Both of them had seen each other numerous times in the imperial palace, technically Governor Chen could be partly considered as someone on Baili Jia Jue's side. After all, he was the official who had been serving the Retired Emperor and understood his thoughts well, so naturally, he would side with Baili Jia Jue when dealing with issues.
The imperial officials were still clueless right now, why would Governor Chen look at the little private advisor who is standing beside the county magistrate when he first came in?
Magistrate Liao even brought out the passion he had when he came to the Capital, he walked forward and tried to shake Governor Chen's hand. "Lord Chen, you've finally come to our Fuping…"
The officials came to a realization, so that's what it is, the Governor is actually invited by Magistrate Liao?
He's indeed connected with the people in the Capital, even the governor of three provinces will show due respect for him.
But the officials still did not understand, why would Lord Chen stand up for the county magistrate of Fuping County?
Did they misinterpret what Lord Chen said just now? Perhaps he was actually talking about something else?
Among all people, only Master Liao felt a slight presentiment of disaster.
When his father called out the appellation of Lord Chen, he suddenly remembered the exact reason why he came to Fuping County…
Chapter 487 - His Highness’ Forceful Kiss
His long and slender fingers touched her arm. Baili Jia Jue raised his head slowly to look at her. A sense of seductiveness was seen from his eyes...
It was then when Helian Wei Wei realized that they were too close. They were so close that their eyelashes were touching each other.
She frowned and tried to withdraw herself, but he pulled her back. She fell back to the floor and landed on his c.h.e.s.t.
He stared at her from above. His beautiful eyes behind the mask were as deep as a well. He looked unbelievably apathetic yet elegant.
Two buttons of the silk robe he was wearing were opened, revealing his exquisite collarbone. The opened collar revealed his long neckline.
Helian Wei Wei was not prepared when he reached out and took her into his arms.
She buried almost her whole face into the cold skin of his c.h.e.s.t. She could feel the beating of his heart.
However, the way that the Third Prince was holding her was like holding a human-shaped pet instead of an actual woman.
"I'm going to break your claws. I'll see how you can attract others after this."
He leaned beside her ear and mumbled some drunk words. Helian Wei Wei could feel his numbing and tickling breath behind her ears.
Helian Wei Wei wanted to say that, Your Highness, you must have mistaken me for somebody else.
Suddenly, Baili Jia Jue pushed her away. He clenched his stomach with his fingers and frowned, "It hurts."
Helian Wei Wei wanted to leave immediately but she held herself back because she remembered that the Third Prince helped her once. She asked, "Is something wrong with your stomach?"
Baili Jia Jue did not reply. His eyes were shut tight and his lips were getting pale.
Helian Wei Wei thought that this master is hard to please. She sighed and let him drink some warm water with a teacup, "Do you feel better now?"
Baili Jia Jue opened his long and narrow eyes after hearing her voice. A trace of humor crossed his usually cold and distant eyes.
His indescribably wicked smile could easily make Heaven and Earth lose their expressions. He raised his brows and looked at her with a sense of curiosity.
Before she finished her thought, an unexpected coldness like snow with a faint sandalwood scent fell on her lips.
Her mind went blank.
Looking at her dark small face, Baili Jia Jue leaned forward and exerted more force unexpectedly.
It tasted better than he expected, sweet and soft.
Baili Jia Jue could not help it but suck as there was a faint taste of osmanthus jelly.
Eunuch Sun knocked on the door, causing Baili Jia Jue to regain his rationality. It was not a good time for him to indulge in secret relations with a woman.
However, Baili Jia Jue held Helian Wei Wei to his c.h.e.s.t and raised her from the ground. He forced his tongue through her clenched teeth and swept the sweet taste like a tornado.
Helian Wei Wei's first response was to resist.
However, before she could struggle, he pressed onto both her arms unexpectedly and trapped her in a corner of the room.
Her soft b.r.e.a.s.ts rested on his c.h.e.s.t, separated only by her clothes. Baili Jia Jue could smell her mild unique fragrance near her neck and he reached his fingers to her.
Men are aggressive by nature, not to mention a man who is drunk.
Although Baili Jia Jue realized that his action was improper, he did not stop. He became even more aggressive. With the knocking noise getting louder, there was an odd rush.
All of Helian Wei Wei's senses were used on her tongue. The softness in front of her c.h.e.s.t was getting numb from Baili Jia Jue's kneading. She did not have a kiss in her present life, not even in her past life. Therefore, she stunned for a moment when Baili Jia Jue kissed her.
Furthermore, she never saw Baili Jia Jue as an ordinary man when she met him for the first time. In other words, she never saw him as an ordinary man with that kind of d.e.s.i.r.e.
He preferred the state of being cleaned; he was distant and sophisticated.
A person like this would normally be enshrined in the temple and not be interested in anyone.
However, Helian Wei Wei realized the 'danger' from him now.
Perhaps it's because he's drunk?
Helian Wei Wei swore and wanted to kick him off. However, she might not have good stamina or Baili Jia Jue's position was too good.
The more she struggled, the tighter Baili Jia Jue's hands were on her. He even lifted her waist and slipped his palms into her clothes...
The faint coolness made her jerk and she bit his lip hard. She used force on her right hand and a dazzling light was reflected from the silver knife from her sleeve!
Baili Jia Jue dodged and gripped on Helian Wei Wei's right arm which was holding the knife in an attempt to stab him. He made her turn her body slightly until her back was facing him.
Her back was leaning against Baili Jia Jue's c.h.e.s.t tight. There was no gap between them.
Helian Wei Wei's pupils shrunk as Baili Jia Jue used his other hand to hold her soft b.r.e.a.s.ts which were still growing. His hot breath had a faint alcoholic scent near her ear.
Her heart was beating like thunder and she could not hear anything. Air was s.u.c.k.e.d away from her mouth. She could only breathe oxygen when her sight was starting to darken.
Helian Wei Wei collapsed to the floor like a cotton human without bones. Baili Jia Jue held her waist swiftly as his thin lips pressed against hers. A sense of mischievous was heard from his tone, "That's all you can take? Heh, you're weak."
The knocking stopped. Eunuch Sun confused call was heard faintly, "Your Highness."
Helian Wei Wei's heart tightened. If people saw what was happening here, she would be chased out of White Academy and lose her qualification in martial arts competition!
A woman's reputation was regarded as very important in the ancient times. It was written clearly on the notice before she enrolled that both male and female students were not allowed to do activities that would corrupt their culture during their time at the academy.
After all, sons and daughters from great families all live in the same academy.
Although they were assigned by their grades, some mess could not be avoided.
Only the rich and famous from the Capital could enter White Academy. Unlike male students, if something really happened to a female student, the teachers would have difficulties in giving the
parents a proper explanation.
Therefore, the academy's punishment regarding this matter would be unusually harsh!
In simpler words, it was the same with the principle behind not allowing high school students to be involved in a romantic relationship in the modern times. In contrast, the minds of the teachers from the ancient times would be much more conservative. They would not even allow students to hold hands, let alone getting involved in a romantic relationship, or what they were doing at that moment...
Chapter 488 - He Kissed Wei Wei
Helian Wei Wei could sense that something was going to happen but she did not have any means to retreat. She could only raise her face and look at him.
Baili Jia Jue's smile was complicated and seductive. His lips seemed to be thinner than hers. His thin, long and dark monolid eyes were staring at her with deep meaning through the silver mask as if he could see through her everything...
Helian Wei Wei's eyes darkened when he approached her. This man will always be powerful like a demon. He will always be dangerous regardless of whether he has martial Qi.
Baili Jia Jue stretched his hands and supported his fingers on the wall behind her. His tone was indescribably magnetic and devilish, "I'm not interested in gigolos. But I can consider if it's you."
Helian Wei Wei stiffened her neck. There was a faint scent of tea mixed with a man's sandalwood scent behind her ears. Her mind went blank from his piercing cold breath.
It can't be...
Is the Third Prince teasing me?
Is he teasing me while I'm in men's clothes!?
Helian Wei Wei reached out subconsciously. She smiled lightly, "Your Highness, look properly, I'm a dude…"
Her dark hair of the color of ink spread on the table made of sandalwood and framed Helian Wei Wei's face. A sense of vulnerability and seductiveness was seen on her usual cool expression. Her eyes which were cool started to glimmer with the man's kiss, like a lake blooming with green lotus. Charm appeared bit by bit in her eyes...
