Chapter 1842: Betrayal
When the Emperor brought a group of people to the Crown Prince’s residence, the door was already surrounded by people.
However, when Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan saw the person who was standing in front of the door with a sign that said,” Return my hard-earned money,” their pupils constricted violently.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at each other and nodded tacitly.
It seemed that another industry was about to be exposed.
No, perhaps all her properties would be exposed that day.
However, when Lin Yuelan looked at the people in the middle of the crowd, a murderous look flashed across her eyes.
She had already said that anyone who betrayed her should be prepared to accept her punishment.
The people who were surrounded by the crowd could not help but feel a little afraid when they saw a group of people come out. Moreover, each of them was graceful and noble, and their auras were extraordinary.
Then, they saw Lin Yuelan in a white wedding dress and Jiang Zhennan in a white suit walking behind her. They looked very guilty and quickly lowered their heads. They clenched their hands and quickly released them.
The Emperor walked out, dressed in a dragon robe, his aura imposing.
“Long live the Emperor!” Although the commoners did not know the Emperor, they knew that he was the Emperor when they saw his clothes and his imposing manner.
“Rise!” the Emperor said loudly.
“Thank you, Emperor!”
After that, these ordinary people started to get up in a scattered manner. Their expressions were filled with nervousness, fear, and excitement.
The Emperor lived in the Imperial Palace all year round. It was possible for ordinary people like them not to see the Emperor once in their entire lives.
Now that they could see the dragon’s face, they felt a little impulsive.
The Emperor looked around and saw 30 to 40 young men kneeling in front of the Crown Prince’s residence. They were holding a wooden sign with the words ” Return my hard-earned money ” written on it.
He frowned slightly and asked sternly,” Who are you?”
The person who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered felt a sense of fear.
They had never thought that they would panic when they saw the Emperor.
They couldn’t help but recall the fate of those people from Lin Family Village when they sued Lin Yuelan two years ago. They were struck by lightning and turned into charcoal. However, they still had a breath left in them. They had to endure the pain of having their skin scorched and being in despair. It was a fate worse than death.
In the end, they still couldn’t escape the fate of death. After they died, they were thrown into a mass grave.
When these people thought of this, they immediately felt timid and did not want to continue.
Moreover, if this continued, their conscience would be very uneasy.
They were living a comfortable life now. They had many servants and concubines to serve them. It was all brought to them by Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan was clearly their benefactor, but now, for that…Could it be that they really wanted to repay kindness with ingratitude? Their conscience couldn’t bear it.
When the Emperor saw that they did not reply, Eunuch Zhang, who was beside him, also repeated it sternly and asked loudly,” Who are you? Why are you kneeling in the Crown Prince’s Residence?”
“Comm…Commoner…” Cold sweat immediately flowed down the forehead of the leader. He was instantly flustered by such a question as if he had forgotten everything.
“Master Hu…” At this moment, a clear voice suddenly called out to him.
Master Hu raised his head and saw Lin Yuelan’s half-smiling yet cold gaze. He was stunned at first, but then he suddenly had an idea.
Then, he heard Lin Yuelan asking,” Master Hu, why are you guys here? And you brought such a large group of people.” Lin Yuelan’s sharp gaze swept across the thirty people kneeling on the ground.
Master Hu’s face turned pale, and a sense of guilt surged on his face. He opened his mouth to explain but was interrupted by the Emperor.
The Emperor asked curiously,” Girl, do you know them?”
Lin Yuelan replied with a smile,” I do. They are the craftsmen of the Lin Group’s housing construction company.”
This time, she did not mention anything about her relationship with the boss of the Lin Group’s housing construction company.
Since these people had come to the Crown Prince’s residence to ask for her salary, this meant that her business was about to be exposed.
Instead of hiding it like that and appearing guilty, it was better to admit it openly.
The imperial grandson interrupted again,” Oh, so Princess Gu really knows them. However, why are they holding wooden signs that say ‘return my hard-earned money’ and asking you for wages?”
However, Lin Yuelan still said,” Your Highness, I don’t know about that. You should be asking them!”
