Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Master Liao was still walking extremely arrogantly, as ever.

Unfortunately, he was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

He was merely a sheltered child who had always been safeguarded by his parents. He ambled in, completely oblivious.

Before this, he had always been able to leave the yamen freely unscathed.

Moreover, his uncle, who cherished him the most, was holding a high position in the yamen. Therefore, he had no scruples nor fear. When he saw Baili Jia Jue, he immediately yelled, “Why is this private advisor released? Uncle, he bullied me terribly before this! This uncivilized fool only knows how to make slanderous accusations at me!”

“You...”

Before Elder Helian could shut him up, the Retired Emperor who was sitting on the side casually interjected, “Oh? What did he do?”

“When he was in Fuping County, he fabricated countless evidence and besmirched my name, is that enough?” Master Liao said, while shaking his legs, “I know that he dares to act so arrogantly because he has the Chen family’s support. Otherwise, how can a lowly scum like him arrest me? He’s merely an insignificant private advisor, yet he dares to flaunt his authority here. I have seen countless people like him. He made himself seem rich and noble simply because he has a pretty face when in reality, he’s just a poor bimbo.”

Elder Helian could no longer contain himself when he heard this.

With a deafening noise, he stood up abruptly!

The Retired Emperor simply took a sip of tea, his eyes frigidly cold, and commanded, “Sit down, let your nephew finish speaking.”

Elder Helian angrily clenched his teeth, as he understood what the Retired Emperor was implying- he was forbidding him from interrupting his nephew.

In the past, he had never felt that it was inappropriate for Xiao Yu to speak in such a manner.

After all, he was his only nephew.

Of course, he had to shower him with love!

However, now he wanted nothing more than to give him a slap, forcing him to shut up!

What a brainless pig!

Is he so dumb that he can’t read the situation now?

No matter how troubled Elder Helian’s heart was, the milk was already spilled. Ever since young, Master Liao had always behaved lawlessly and fearlessly.

However, Master Liao did not know the identity of the person who was sitting beside his uncle, nor did he hear what the Retired Emperor had said just now. He merely thought that the person was a newcomer from the provincial capital. As he had never seen the imperial official before, he did not take him seriously.

Helian Wei Wei looked at him and smiled evilly, “According to you, I was wrong to declare you guilty?”

“Whether you were wrong or not, I’m sure you know yourself.” Master Liao glanced at Helian Wei Wei with great disdain, saying, “I originally didn’t want to argue with you, but you kept messing with me and trying to start a fight! You constantly try to punish me for my crimes, but look now! I’m still a free, innocent man. However, I’m afraid your private advisor would be the one that’s groveling for mercy after interrogating me. Let me enlighten you, this is the difference between you and me! Stop pretending that you’re someone important. Who do you think you are? You’re just a stinky nerd from a godforsaken countryside!” Having said that, he turned his head around and looked at Elder Helian, saying, “Uncle, that Wei person is certainly not worthy of being an imperial official, he hooked up with a village girl when he was at Fuping County. He would do anything to stand up for her. So, he asked his private advisor to slander me, locking me and my father up. You must severely punish him!”

“Shut your mouth!”

This time, Elder Helian finally yelled the words that he had in mind, with an ugly and distorted expression.

After that, the first thing he did was to apologize to the Retired Emperor. He had never broken into a cold sweat in fear before but now, he finally felt his knees weakening in horror.

“Your Highness, it’s all my fault for not raising him properly. However, Xiao Yu is a child who would never harm anyone. He merely speaks rashly. I beg for Your Highness’ benevolence and great mercy, please spare this child! Furthermore, what Xiao Yu said was not completely false. I received news claiming that Lord Wei was very intimate with a village girl from Fuping County, it’s difficult not to be suspicious about it...”

Elder Helian said that, hoping to shift the attention of the Retired Emperor onto a different matter.

However, these very words would later become the quicksand that swallowed him whole.

Helian Wei Wei slowly began to speak, “Is Elder Helian implying that I’m the one who should be punished, and your nephew is simply a kid who’s a little naive? You are quite the sweet talker, but isn’t Master Liao almost 20 years old? Can he still be called a kid? Is he a giant baby?” action

When she finished speaking, the entire yamen erupted into peals of roaring laughter.

No matter how dense Master Liao was, he could still detect the ridicule hidden between Helian Wei Wei’s words. His huge, round face flushed a deep shade of red, while his lung inflated and deflated furiously as he bellowed, “You! Who are you calling a giant baby?”

“I’m obviously talking about you.” Helian Wei Wei looked at him pitifully, mocking, “It’s so obvious but you still can’t get it, you’re really like a giant baby. I’m not talking about your physique, but rather your intelligence.”

“You!” Master Liao yelled lividly as he pointed his finger at her.

Elder Helian was afraid that he would say something inappropriate, thus he hastily interjected, “Lord Wei said so much it made me even more suspicious. If you have no relationship with that village girl, why are you so agitated?”

“Elder Helian, I’m not agitated. This is the second time you have slandered me today, so I think it’s time for me to prove my innocence.” As Helian Wei Wei was speaking, she removed the mask that was covering half of her face.

A familiar face instantly appeared in front of Elder Helian’s eyes!

How could it be her!

Elder Helian fumbled a step backward, falling into the wooden chair in dismay.

He looked as though he had just seen a ghost.

His expression was a dozen times paler and uglier than the time he met Baili Jia Jue!

It was at that very moment when he realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

The other imperial officials had never set foot in the Capital before, thus they did not understand why Elder Helian would behave like that suddenly.

However, each of them was wisely shrewd and had mastered the art of reading facial expressions.

Judging from Elder Helian’s countenance, something unexpected has definitely happened!

Otherwise, he won’t be like this!

Could it be that Lord Wei has another unknown identity?

Without giving the imperial officials the time to figure it out, Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly and said, “Long time no see, Elder Yun. You did not attend the last general meeting, but I finally get to meet you here at the provincial capital. However, I would like to ask Elder Yun, what relationship do you think I have with that girl? Hmm?”

Her question completely flustered Elder Helian, his entire face was burning hot from embarrassment, all he wanted to do was to find a hole and hide in it!
