I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Song Shiqiu looked away in embarrassment and snatched the brocade box away: "I'll keep this imperial edict for you, and we'll talk about it later."

He had never been flustered when he had followed Your Majesty in clearing out the imperial court and debating with many scholars. Why is he so uneasy today?

Lin Jin was stunned. She didn't know why she felt that Song Shiqiu was a little angry. Normally, Song Shiqiu would never do such a rude thing. Did he think that he was ungrateful?

"Then I'll leave first." Lin Jin took the local affairs book from Song Shiqiu's hand, bowed slightly, then turned around and left as if running for her life. She was really afraid that Song Shiqiu would be in a bad mood and hire a bunch of "tutors" for her and sign her up for a bunch of "interest classes".

She really doesn't know how to clone herself, and a day doesn't have forty-eight hours. At her age, she can't continue to develop her brain. Her capacity is limited, and she is definitely not a genius like Song Shiqiu, okay?

Lin Jin didn't know that Song Shiqiu had been watching her fleeing figure since she turned around and left. The servant boy laughed in a muffled way, which attracted a sharp look from Song Shiqiu: "What are you laughing at?"

"Why am I laughing? Don't you know it well, sir? Otherwise, why would you look at me like that?" The servant boy's laughter turned into a light laugh.

Song Shiqiu's face tightened, and he touched his earlobe for some reason. It seemed a little hot, so he pretended to be calm and put the brocade box back on the antique shelf: "Do your thing, and don't look at things you shouldn't look at."

The servant snorted twice casually: "My lord, why are you doing this? I think Miss Lin Liu has no intention towards you. It's just that you are too ruthless on weekdays, so Miss Lin Liu has to restrain herself."

Song Shiqiu wanted to tell him off for talking nonsense, but somehow, he asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Let's talk about these books. If Miss Lin Liu wants them, just have someone send them all to her. Why does she want to take them one by one? Isn't it just because she wants to see the adults a few more times? Besides, why does Miss Lin Liu only want to read books written by adults?" The book boy thought he knew more about love than Song Shiqiu, and his words made sense.

"Finally, it's about Miss Lin Liu's marriage. My lord, you've been so considerate of her, so she should be grateful. Why does she rebel against you again and again? It's because you're a blockhead and can't see her feelings. It was like this last time, and it's the same this time." After the book boy finished speaking, he hit his left palm with his right fist, feeling that his analysis was absolutely correct.

After all, their adults are made of stone, otherwise how could they not understand Miss Lin Liu's feelings? Even outsiders like them can see it.

Song Shiqiu suddenly thought that what he said made sense, but he quickly reacted: "Don't talk nonsense, you have ruined the girl's reputation, what crime should you be punished for!"

The book boy looked at his master with disappointment. He had said so much, but the master was still being stubborn. Wasn't this just a dead duck trying to be stubborn?

"Well, let's not talk about Miss Lin Liu, let's talk about you, sir. Since you are also interested in Miss Lin Liu, why do you keep pushing her away? No matter how good a man in this world is, how many can compare to you, sir?" The book boy didn't understand what the sir was thinking. It was understandable that he didn't have a girl he liked before, but now he finally fell in love with Miss Lin Liu, and he even helped her find a husband.

I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen an adult as stupid as this.

Song Shiqiu knocked over the pen holder on the table in a panic, and the precious wolf-hair brush fell to the ground: "You are just talking nonsense. When did I have such thoughts about her!"

The servant boy came over to clean up the mess without even looking at him: "If there is nothing, why did you lose your composure? You can deceive yourself with your mouth, but you can't deceive your heart. I don't believe that you did so many things without any selfish motives. It's all for the sake of the second girl, isn't it?"

"Why else?" Song Shiqiu sat at the table, but found that he still couldn't read the words on the document. Lin Jin's face appeared in front of him for no reason, and what was more important was Lin Jin's eyes that had shed tears twice today.

The book boy was really mad at Song Shiqiu for doing this. If things went on like this, when would they have a mistress? "Even so, how about the lord feeling sorry for Miss Lin Liu? Is it because of Miss Two that he feels sorry for her?"

"In fact, I feel sorry for her!" Song Shiqiu patted the table.

If today was the servant boy's first day serving Song Shiqiu, he would really be scared. But he had been following Song Shiqiu since he was a child and was not scared. Before, their masters were not yet in love, so he didn't dare to say much for fear that the masters would be angry and embarrassed. Now it was clear that the masters were deceiving themselves.

"Pitiable? Miss Lin Liu was pitiful in the past, but how can she be pitiful after coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I think you are..."

"This is my punishment." The servant boy predicted Song Shiqiu's words and it was nothing more than cleaning a few rooms.

Song Shiqiu: “…”

This is outrageous.

Song Shiqiu sat at the table, but he couldn't calm down. He always felt like something was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. He had to put his official duties aside for the time being and go out for a walk to get some fresh air. As a result, he still walked to the outside of Fuyun Courtyard.

It must be because he comes to Fuyunyuan for meals every day.

"Didn't Miss Lin Liu go to look for adults just now? Why did you come back with red eyes?"

Song Shiqiu stopped when he was about to change direction.

"What can I do? I'm afraid that Master has mentioned Miss Lin Liu's marriage again. Miss Lin Liu is really something. Since Master Xinyue has said it, why doesn't she just say it directly? When the Lin family sent her to the mansion, Miss Lin Liu only needed a document to become Master's person. Why is she doing this?"

"Why didn't I hear that? Did you say Miss Lin Liu has a lover?"

"Where does the sweetheart come from? You know our master's temper. If Miss Lin Liu had shown her affection for you, would you still keep her in your house? If you were treated the same way as Miss Lin Liu, would you be attracted to her?"

In the past, Song Shiqiu would have definitely scolded these two ignorant girls for talking nonsense about their master, but now he was standing outside the yard separated by a wall and could not say anything, so he could only leave in a hurry.

When did such a rumor spread in the mansion, and why did everyone think that Lin Liu loved him?

Could it be that the authorities are really confused?

For some reason, Song Shiqiu felt a heat rising on his face and felt uncomfortable in his heart, which was extremely tormenting.

If that was true, then what was she thinking when he urged Lin Liu to choose a husband again and again?

What kind of feeling is it?

He didn't know why he suddenly thought so much. There were many women in this world who admired him. Although Lin Jin was not the last one, she was definitely not outstanding in the crowd, and she was not the type of gentle and quiet woman he liked. Why should he care?

Song Shiqiu clenched his fists, unwilling to admit that he had begun to have inappropriate thoughts about Lin Jin without knowing when.

As the saying goes, the closer you are, the more distant you will become. He was just worried about affecting Lin Jin's reputation.

He just didn't want to see Lin Jin so sad, so he let her go a little.

If Lin Jin knew that her actions could be over-interpreted like this, she would really want to kill herself, but she knew nothing, so she focused all her attention on Fengwuzhi. She knew why Song Shiqiu didn't let her lend the book out.

This is not a local record at all, this is clearly a "personal account"!

This book contains everything she wanted to read. It also records a case she encountered at that time. Beyond legal principles, there is only human feelings. However, when law and feelings cannot coexist, Song Shiqiu will stand on the side of human feelings based on the law.

Lin Jin felt as if he saw two sides of Song Shiqiu. As an official, he needed to uphold the laws of Daxia, but as an individual, he sympathized with the plight of the lower-class people. Song Shiqiu stood in such a high position not because he loved power, but because the higher he stood, the more he could do for the people.

She touched the line of small words next to it, which should have been written by Song Shiqiu after he was promoted.

Fortunately, the law has been established and is being practiced.
