Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 258: A son hitting his father is a great act of unfilial piety

Liu Ling, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue, flushed red, covered his chest with his hands, and almost rushed to Xu Jinyu and shouted at her: "You are talking nonsense! When did my wife dislike me? My wife and I are in love, and everyone knows it."

Unfortunately Liu Ling didn't dare to do so and could only lower his head and walk quickly, facing all kinds of looks from everyone.

[Hey~~ Why are you running so fast? I wanted to tell him how to choose the pink color. This pale color really doesn't look good. It will only make things worse and make his wife dislike him even more. ]

Liu Ling, the deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue, walked even faster. If it were possible to run here, he would have run, just to get away from Xu Jinyu as soon as possible.

But no matter how fast Liu Ling runs, can he be as fast as Xu Jinyu's voice?

[Ah... Lord Liu puts on powder not to dress himself up, but because he has injuries on his face. Eh~~ two panda eyes on the left and right, plus the bruises on the corners of his mouth and face. If he doesn't put on some powder, how can he go to court and be criticized for his untidy appearance? ]

[So, as a civil servant, did Lord Liu get into a fight after leaving court? ]

Yes! Did you go to the fight?

The weather is so nice today. I can have fun before going to court.

The officials turned their heads towards Liu Ling. Liu Ling covered his face tightly with his hands, but the despair in his eyes still made everyone's hearts burn with anger. It seemed that the matter was not trivial.

Lord Xu, please help! Speak quickly.

[The wound on Liu Ling's face was caused by his son! The son beat his father, his son is thinking about going to heaven! ]

Xu Jinyu raised his head in confusion and glanced at Liu Ling.

In ancient times, the country was governed by filial piety. How dare he do that? A son hits his father. This is an act of unfilial piety. Liu Ling's son will never be able to turn things around in his life.

The civil and military officials looked at Liu Ling in surprise. Didn't Liu Ling always like his son very much? He praised his son wherever he went, wishing to praise him, but this...

Zuo Yuanying had rolled up his sleeves and came over indignantly: "Brother Liu, how can we let a son beat his father? Don't worry, I will impeach your son in a moment and will not let..."

Liu Ling pushed Zuo Yuanying's arm away: "No need!"

Zuo Yuanying put his hands on Liu Ling's shoulders and said, "Yes! If a tree is not pruned, it will not grow straight. If a person is not disciplined, he will grow old. The child is still young. Do you want to stop him until he kills someone or sets a fire?"

Liu Ling emphasized: "Really not necessary!"

But how could this stop the enthusiastic Lord Zuo?

"Brother Liu, listen to me. The child is still young, so educate him quickly. It will be too late to educate him when he grows up. You don't have to worry about your son's fate. With everyone's pleading, your son will be fine. He will take the imperial examinations and become an official in the future."

"Ok!"

The people watching the fun nodded in unison, indicating that they would really plead for mercy and there was no need to worry about His Majesty punishing their son.

Liu Ling wanted to cry but had no tears. He really didn't need anyone to plead for him. He just asked Xu Jinyu to shut up. If they didn't shut up, don't blame him for being rude.

[Hmm~ The fight between the father and son was a misunderstanding. It’s not some deep hatred. It’s just this misunderstanding...hahahaha...this misunderstanding...this misunderstanding...hahahaha...I’m dying of laughter...hahaha...]

Liu Ling's eyes bulged out. This matter was too embarrassing. He must not let Xu Jinyu expose it.

"May······"

Before Liu Ling could even shout out, he was stopped by a quick-witted official.

【Last night, Liu Ling's wife went back to her parents' home, so Liu Ling went to meet his lover, a widow. Not only was the widow beautiful, but she also praised Liu Ling in various ways every time she saw him. So Liu Ling liked this widow very much, and he would go to her place to sit whenever he had time.】

[It was the same as last night. He came to the widow's yard with some cakes and hairpins in his hands. He entered the room. The wine and food were all ready. There was even incense in the room. Liu Ling was very satisfied. At this time, a voice came from the bedroom: "Baby, you are here."]

【Liu Ling was so overjoyed. This was the first time he had been treated like this. He dropped what he was holding and rushed to the bedroom. Then he saw his lover in a gauze dress waiting for him under the dim candlelight. However, the first reaction of his lover when he saw him was to hug his shoulders and scream, as if he had met a pervert.】

[Before Liu Ling could react, a man rushed in from outside the room and punched him in the eyes twice. That's how Liu Ling got his panda eyes. Liu Ling was a smart guy back then, so of course he wouldn't show weakness. He fought back after he recovered. The two of them fought in the dim bedroom until the widow rushed over to stop them.]

【"father!"】

【“Son!” The father and son looked at each other in bewilderment! 】

[Hahaha... The widow had more than one lover, and Liu Ling knew that. He had no intention of marrying the widow, so he let her go. He didn't expect that the other lover was his own son. Hahaha... The father and son actually fought over a woman. ]

"Hmm~~" This person is biting his cheeks hard to prevent himself from laughing.

"Cough cough..." This is because of choking on saliva.

"Huff, huff, huff..." This is exhaling deeply to relieve the breathing difficulty caused by silent laughter.

····

You can't laugh. It would be very impolite to laugh. Lord Liu is already very sad, so don't laugh. We are all colleagues, so we should give each other some face.

Another official from the Ministry of Revenue patted Liu Ling on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect your son likes it so well-cooked."

The official said this because he knew that Liu Ling's lover was a middle-aged widow.

Liu Ling took the gag out of his mouth expressionlessly and said, "We are father and son. It's not strange that we like the same things."

"Not strange! Not strange!"

All the officials agreed with a smile. They had something to talk about today. Why not go and visit Master Liu after the court session? This would be a show of love from an uncle.

He didn't notice the sneer on Liu Ling's lips at all.

Liu Ling broke free from the hand that was pressing on his shoulder and walked towards Xu Jinyu.

"Hey, Lord Liu, don't be impulsive." The person who was worried that Liu Ling might self-destruct grabbed him.

Liu Ling turned around and said politely: "Please let me go, and I don't want to die yet, so..."

The official who held Liu Ling understood.

Then Liu Ling walked in front of Xu Jinyu, who had just finished reading a piece of gossip and raised his head.

My heart was particularly happy: [What, Master Liu is willing to ask me about foundation? ]

However, Xu Jinyu still saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Master Liu."

Liu Ling forced out a slightly sinister smile.

[Don't smile if your face hurts. This is too scary, like Grandma Wolf. ]

Liu Ling couldn't help but clench his fists, but for the sake of his plan, Liu Ling put away his smile and said to Xu Jinyu in a gentle voice: "Master Xu, last time I saw the son of the Minister of Revenue buy half a truck of rouge and powder in your sister's store in one go. Is there a discount for buying more?"
