When Yang heard about Lin Zeyuan's encounter in the Hanlin Academy today, he was so angry that he almost jumped up.

"Those guys who look down on others are really bullying them too much!"

Lin Zeyuan frowned, "I originally planned to visit Shangfeng and establish a good relationship with him as soon as I went there today, but I didn't expect that I didn't even see him in person. I just sat in the corner and sorted out my papers all day. Volume, and still have to be ridiculed by others!"

"It's all my fault that bitch Chu Huanyan only gave you such a low-level official. She is simply humiliating you."

As he said this, Yang thought of the unlucky hairpin on her head again, and gritted her teeth in hatred towards Chu Huanyan.

Lin Zeyuan had a cold face, remembering the mocking looks on everyone's face today, "The most important thing now is to seize the time and climb up quickly, but now I can't even see the peak, and there is nothing I can do at the moment."

"Why don't you go find Chu Huanyan again?" Yang suggested.

"I'm afraid that the time interval is too short, and Chu Huanyan will have other ideas."

After all, he still had to maintain his image in front of Chu Huanyan.

"Yuan'er, I see that Chu Huanyan is completely devoted to you. It shouldn't be a problem for you to find her. What's more, she caused this, so she should be responsible for it!" Yang spoke without thinking, her tone full of sternness. Of course.

Lin Zeyuan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed with Yang's words.

It was getting late now, and it was his first day in office. Lin Zeyuan was worried that if he passed by now, he would be too eager. So I decided to leave the Hanlin Academy early tomorrow and then go straight to the Hou Mansion.

However, when he arrived on the second day, he discovered that there were more documents waiting for him than yesterday, and by the time he finished processing them, it would be later than yesterday.

This was even more true in the next few days. After four days in a row, he finally waited for Xiu Mu.

"Zeyuan, today is a holiday. You are not having a good rest at home. Why did you come here suddenly?" Chu Huanyan walked into the lobby and looked at Lin Zeyuan sitting there.

Seeing that he looked tired, his face was gloomy, and he was obviously much more haggard than in the past few days, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.

She knew very well Lin Zeyuan's situation in the Hanlin Academy these days.

The newcomers plus the junior officials from the bottom of the ninth rank, these two points together are enough to make Lin Zeyuan busy with trivial tasks that the senior officials are unwilling to do.

"Yan'er, it's rare to take a break today. I thought we haven't seen each other for several days, so naturally I came to see you." Lin Zeyuan said hurriedly.

In the past few days, he had already thought about asking Chu Huanyan to make an appointment with Shangfeng in the name of the Hou Mansion, and invite him to come out for a drink and banquet. It would be best to give him more gifts. In short, he must build a good relationship!

"Ze Yuan, you are interested." Chu Huanyan sat down with a smile.

Lin Zeyuan looked at Chu Huanyan and said impatiently: "Yan'er, I wonder if you have time these days. If you are free..."

"Where is the free time?" Chu Huanyan directly interrupted Lin Zeyuan's words, sighed and said, "I have been so worried these past few days, I am almost exhausted."

Lin Zeyuan's face darkened, "What happened?"

Chu Huanyan sighed, "Seeing that it's almost time for Ziyuan to attack the king, there are many things that need to be prepared quickly. I've been so busy these days that I can barely even take care of eating."

"How can it be so complicated? Hasn't the matter of attacking the prince already been decided?"

"Having said that, there are countless trivial matters and joints involved, so we still can't take it lightly. And..." Chu Huanyan sighed heavily again, "Zi Yuan has been really incompetent recently and has caused a lot of troubles. , I have some doubts as to whether now is the best time for him to attack the prince."

Lin Zeyuan's gaze deepened, "Yan'er, what do you mean?"

"Because I have no time to take care of him because of the attack on the king, I am too busy with many things. Also, I am worried that he will become complacent after the attack and cause even bigger troubles, so..."

Chu Huanyan paused deliberately and looked at Lin Zeyuan with questioning eyes, "Zeyuan, do you think I should find a way to postpone the attack on the king so that I can relax and deal with other matters?"

She knew very well the purpose of Lin Zeyuan's coming here today.

If it were in the past, Lin Zeyuan might have thought more carefully, and in order not to offend Chu Ziyuan, he would have chosen to sit back and watch without expressing any opinions.

But it's different now. I'm busy with Chu Ziyuan's affairs, so I naturally don't have time to pay attention to him. When my own interests are involved, I'm afraid Lin Zeyuan won't be able to care much about it.

Sure enough, Lin Zeyuan spoke.

"Yan'er, after all, this is a matter of the Hou Mansion. I shouldn't have intervened. However, I feel really sorry to see you working so hard, so I can't help but say a few more words."

"Ze Yuan, just say what you want to say, that is, there is no need to be so hostile between you and me." Chu Huan glanced outside the door.

Under Chu Huanyan's instruction, Ah Si had already reported to Chu Ziyuan that his plan to seize the title was being discussed in the lobby. At this moment, Chu Ziyuan happened to walk outside the door.

Before he came in, Lin Ziyuan's words came.

"Actually, I don't think it's a good time for Ziyuan to take over."

Chu Ziyuan's steps suddenly stopped and he stood by the door, his face suddenly darkened.

"Why?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"First of all, Ziyuan has caused too much trouble some time ago, and I have heard about it. If he is allowed to attack the prince at this time, I am afraid it will attract criticism."

"Secondly, if his character is undecided and he rashly inherits the title, I'm afraid he will begin to disobey your control and cause even greater trouble."

"Besides, I really feel sorry for you, and I don't want you to work so hard for him. After all, you are just his eldest sister, not his mother, so why do you need to go to such an extent."

Lin Zeyuan's tone was gentle and caring, as if every sentence he said was from Chu Huanyan's perspective and thinking for her.

Sincere and full of love.

Chu Huanyan looked at the other party, "Zi Yuan is my brother after all. I am willing to work for him, but... what you just said is not unreasonable."

"Yan'er, do you agree that he shouldn't be allowed to attack the prince now?" Lin Zeyuan felt a little happy in his heart.

Outside the lobby, Chu Ziyuan clenched his fists instantly and held his breath, wanting to hear Chu Huanyan's answer.

"This..." Chu Huanyan looked hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "No, it still can't be like this!"

"Yan'er..."

"Ze Yuan, you don't know something. Zi Yuan likes Miss Liu from the Prime Minister's Palace. If he is not allowed to seize the title, he will be even less worthy of Miss Liu. As the eldest sister, it's okay for me to be tired. I still can't feel wronged. Got him."

Chu Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the eldest sister still cared about him, but this instigating Lin Zeyuan...

Chu Ziyuan gritted his teeth, feeling filled with hatred.

He must make Lin Zeyuan pay for what he just said!
