Chapter 727: Putting on air

But there was no need for him to think about something like this, his wife was eloquent enough to battle this out, and now that she has given him a hook to save himself, there was no time for him to waste as he hurriedly nodded and said, " She is right, even if you try to force us there is no point. After all, there is no law that states that nephews will have to support their uncles. What\'s more, we are already separated, even if you try to force us you will not get anything, and we are just small merchants who do not worry about our reputation, even if you ruin my I can always work as a worker in the shop, there is no need for me to worry."          

He shrugged as he went on, " I wouldn\'t be worried by something so small, after all even if you ruin my reputation it\'s not like I am going to starve like you, right?  I will still survive and live a comfortable life but what can you do? Therefore, as long as we are bent on not supporting you, you cannot do anything."      

Then he thought about it and then added with a meaningful expression, " But the same cannot be said for the concubine, women in the harem have to watch themselves. If they don\'t then the other concubines and the Empress will create trouble for her and the Emperor does not like women who are scheming either, which is why the women in the harem act like green tea and white lotuses. If you get a hang of them then they would do everything that you ask them to do, even if you ask for a house made of gold, they will agree to it."      

" Do you still wish to waste your time with us?" Lin Yan asked when he saw that Lin Rui was done speaking. He looked at Lin Ze who was thinking over everything carefully and decided to add a sly remark as well, " If you were to get the support of the concubine maybe you will get your son to work in the court before Rui, why don\'t you think over this opportunity carefully? I am sure you will understand that this is once in a lifetime opportunity, lest the woman pulls her hands back then what are you going to do?"      

Su Wan realised that she no longer needed to help her husbands, so she sat down and then picked up the teacup that was in front of her and then started taking a sip of it. They were no longer as naive and stupid as they once were, now they can scheme even better than her, this was good. At least she would not have not to worry about them getting schemed against.      

Lin Chen too looked at his uncle he knew his uncle better than everyone and he decided to use this to his advantage as he said, " And what\'s more the one who is riding on your head and using you as a pawn is a woman, don\'t you think that this is simply outrageous?"      

" A woman is using you, a man who is the owner of his house? Have you ever listened to even old lady Lin, ex-uncle? I don\'t think you have ever done that. You are the man out of all men who would not even think of listening to his mother, since when did you start dancing to the tune of a woman? That woman sitting in the imperial palace must be laughing at you. She is a woman who stays at the palace and had to follow everything that Emperor and his officials tell her to do but because you are a commoner she is looking down at you."      

" And there is one more thing," Lin Rui suddenly remembered and added swiftly, "Only the Empress in the imperial harem has a formidable family background because she is the official daughter but the same cannot be said for the Concubines, they are all daughters of the officials yes but if they are legitimate daughters then their families are not strong enough to go against the Emperor, they are at most a fifth or fourth-grade official, not at all worthy to be feared."      

" And those whose families are strong they could only send their illegitimate or concubine-born daughters can be sent to the harem, which means that either way that woman is not so strong."      

The Emperor has deliberately arranged this such that no woman would be able to fight for the throne of the Empress, this way neither the Empress would scheme against his concubine for securing her place and nor will the concubines fight for the throne, they will most work hard to attract his attention and nothing else.      

This was one of the reasons why the entire harem was under the control of the Emperor even though the ruler of the Harem was the Empress. Their families were strong enough to fight against the emperor and create a mess but that did not mean that they can overthrow him, at most they will create trouble in the harem and as many Concubines were pregnant at the moment, the Emperor did not want those families to cause terror in the harem lest he loses an innocent child.      

When Lin Ze heard this, he suddenly remembered the stories that he has heard in the tea house, the storyteller in the tea house was saying the same thing as Lin Rui, if that was the case then he was really getting fooled by the woman in the imperial palace, this was such a humiliating thing!     

He the man of the house was actually getting fooled by a woman, pooh! Even if that woman was the daughter of an official she was just a small official\'s daughter, who gives her the right to make a man dance to her tune? She was just a small official\'s daughter and yet she was put on air in front of him! That dumb b! tch!
