After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"What does this mean?"

"Twenty taels, I'll show you the way."

"It costs twenty taels to show the way?" Lin Zeyuan's expression changed, "This gentleman is too much of a lion!"

The official's eyes were narrow and narrow, and he glanced up and down quickly, scanning Lin Zeyuan, "Tsk, it turns out he is a poor man!"

There were many people around, and the official deliberately raised his voice when he spoke, causing everyone around him to look over.

Lin Zeyuan's face suddenly froze, and he felt embarrassed. He could only glare at the person in front of him, straighten his back, and speak sanctimoniously.

"My lord, I just don't want to see anyone paying bribes!"

"You have to pay homage to Shangfeng as soon as you get here. You don't think anyone knows about it, so why are you pretending to be an upright gentleman here?"

"You..." Lin Zeyuan's eyes were angry, "Don't bully others too much!"

"I am the eighth grade, and you are only a mere ninth grade disciple. What should you do?"

Lin Zeyuan choked, and the sneers ringing around him made his face burn.

In my heart, I became more and more resentful about the job arranged by Chu Huanyan. At the same time, I told myself more firmly that I must seize the time to climb up. When he goes up, I must make him look good!

The official stayed on the ground floor for a long time. After a quick look, he knew what Lin Zeyuan was thinking. The sarcastic look on his face became even stronger. He winked at the other people, and immediately there were several more stacks of papers placed on the floor. In front of Lin Zeyuan.

"The new one has sorted all these out. We need them today!"

Lin Zeyuan almost gritted his teeth before he suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled.

"Okay, I'll just do as you please."

Time passed quickly, until the sky had completely darkened and everyone had left, Lin Zeyuan finished sorting the papers and left the Hanlin Academy.

All the way home, his heart was full of hatred, and his face was as gloomy as ice.

After returning to Lin's house, he pushed open the door and was greeted by Yang who was waiting in the yard.

"Yuan'er, you're finally back, why are you so late?"

Lin Zeyuan frowned and was about to express his dissatisfaction when he looked up and saw the figure walking out of the house.

"Yiyi? Why are you here!" Lin Zeyuan looked happy and walked quickly towards Yue Yiyi without answering Yang's words.

Yang stood there, feeling a little unhappy, but didn't say much.

"Brother Yuan, I saw that you didn't look for me for several days, and I felt uneasy, so I tried to sneak out to see you." Yue Yiyi said softly.

She paid for the hairpin last time. Lin Zeyuan kept saying that he would use the hairpin to humiliate Chu Huanyan, vent his anger, and at the same time ask the other party to find a way to help him become an official as soon as possible.

She waited in Fujin Tower for several days, but Lin Zeyuan did not show up, and no one sent her a letter. There was no word on whether she had succeeded in becoming an official.

She couldn't wait any longer, so she sent her maid to inquire about the Lin family. She learned that Lin Zeyuan had gone to the Yamen, so she bribed the mother in charge to allow her to come out.

"Brother Yuan, I heard that you have become an official. Congratulations. I wonder what official position it is?" Yue Yiyi suppressed the light of joy in her eyes. After staying by Lin Zeyuan's side for so long, she could see some hope.

Lin Zeyuan was originally filled with joy because of Yue Yiyi's arrival and her caring words, but now when he heard these words, his expression suddenly froze.

"This..." Lin Zeyuan hesitated, "In the Hanlin Academy."

"Hanlin Academy, that's a great place!" Yue Yiyi's eyes lit up, "I heard that officials from the Hanlin Academy can still see the emperor from time to time. Brother Yuan, you are really awesome."

After saying that, Yue Yiyi asked again: "Brother Yuan, what is your official position in the Hanlin Academy? What rank is it?"

Lin Zeyuan's face was stiff. He was really embarrassed to say in front of Yue Yiyi that he was now only a low-ranking official from the ninth rank.

Facing Yue Yiyi's gaze, he turned away and changed the topic.

"Yiyi, I told you that you might not understand much about the officialdom. By the way, why are you out today?"

Yue Yiyi frowned secretly, Lin Zeyuan didn't want to tell her?

"Brother Yuan, it took me a lot of effort to get my mother in charge to allow me to come out. Although I don't know much about officialdom, but brother Yuan, just tell me. I want to be happy with you." Yue Yiyi reached out and grabbed Lin Zeyuan. His sleeves were gently pulled a few times.

That charming and alluring look made Lin Zeyuan distracted for a while. But thinking of his treatment in the Hanlin Academy today, his face darkened again.

Yue Yiyi frowned completely now.

what happened? Is Lin Zeyuan feeling unhappy because of his actions?

Yue Yiyi squeezed out a tear, let go of her hand, and looked at Lin Zeyuan in despair.

"Brother Yuan, do you think Yiyi is offended?"

I have just joined the officialdom. Is it possible that Cheng Cheng starts to dislike himself?

"How is that possible?" Lin Zeyuan realized that his attitude was inappropriate, and quickly held Yue Yiyi's hand, comforting him, "I was just too tired today, so I was a little distracted for a while. As for the official position, I am still just a minor official for the time being. There is nothing to say, but believe me, I will be promoted soon. As long as I have a firm foothold in the court, I will marry you immediately."

"really?"

"Of course it's true, Yiyi, I can swear to God!"

"That's great." Yue Yiyi burst into tears and smiled, "Brother Yuan, I believe you."

Ms. Yang next to her felt increasingly unhappy as she saw the two of them quarreling with each other.

However, thinking that her son liked Yue Yiyi, she held back. She just said that it was getting late and asked Yue Yiyi to go back first to avoid being bumped into. Also, Lin Zeyuan had just come back and needed a good rest.

"Brother Yuan, then I won't disturb your rest. I'm waiting for your good news." Yue Yiyi's eyes were full of tenderness, and she reluctantly left. When passing by Yang, she did not forget to salute her, " Auntie, I’ll leave first.”

"Well, be careful on the road." Yang said with a smile.

Yue Yiyi nodded meekly, but just after she left the Lin family and got on the carriage, all the smiles on her face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look on her face.

Thinking of Lin Zeyuan's cover-up just now, she clenched her fingers, and the words she heard in the Hou's mansion suddenly rang in her mind again.

Lowly brothel girl...

Yue Yiyi felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. After thinking for a while, she gave instructions to the maid beside her.

"You should find a way to find out what official position Mr. Lin holds in the Hanlin Academy, especially what rank he is. You must find out clearly!"
