Chapter 468: Details, a big problem (Part 2)

Meng Xiuyuan spoke slowly and seriously, in fear that Lin Chujiu couldn’t understand the status of the Zhang family. After thinking about it, he added: “The Zhang family donated half of their family assets to the emperor and sent a pair of twin sisters to the palace during the empress dowager’s birthday. The twin sisters are adored by the emperor and have been honored for 20 years. One of the sisters give birth to the Eight Prince and is now 17-years-old. The emperor loved him dearly. If there is no current crown prince, he will likely sit on that throne.”

In the end, Meng Xiuyuan looked at Lin Chujiu with anxiety. His deep eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, he said nothing.

Lin Chujiu didn’t realize it, she didn’t pay much attention to his words. She just smiled carelessly: “It seems like a bumped into a monster.” With the Zhang Family’s status, they will definitely take a shot before she could do so.

“They’re not monsters. They’re just related to the imperial family. Although the imperial family’s power is getting more and more important, the rights of the aristocrat families in the Central Empire are still very large. The emperor needs to give the face the top four of great families, which are Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong and Xiling Family.”

The seven great families of the Central Empire were Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong, Xiling, Hua, Tang, and Lin. The top four families were also known as the four dragon legs of the Central Empire. Their family lived in the east, south, west, and north of the central empire, which surrounded the capital.

“I have no friendship with the seven great families of the Central Empire.” The Zhang family of the central empire can be said a huge family, but if one of the seven great families will move forward, the Zhang Family will definitely concede. However, the problem is, Lin Chujiu cannot do that. She has no relationship with the seven great families.

Although, she’s very reluctant to admit … that she may have a relationship with the Lin family of the central empire. She doesn’t know if the Lin Family will help her, an outsider, to go forth against the Zhang Family, who will likely snatch their current position. The Zhang Family has now the same strength as the Lin Family. So the Zhang Family might not give the Lin Family a face.

After a moment of pondering, Meng Xiuyuan said: “The Meng family has a connection in marriage with the Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong, and Xiling Family. I’ll write them a message and ask for help, maybe there will be a way.”

The Meng family was a family of scholars. The daughters in their family were very knowledgeable, which they became popular in noble families. Noble families like Dongyang Family. The Dongyang Family prepares the Meng Family’s daughters to become their son’s wife, but… …

Meng Xiuyuan was not part of the legitimate branch of the Meng Family in the central empire. Their position in Wenchang College was already pretty awkward. So even if he sends a letter, it might not become effective, so he was hesitating a bit.

“You don’t need to trouble yourself. A strong dragon cannot repress a snake. This is the East Country. The Zhang Family of Central Empire also needs to consider things to some degree, even if they are arrogant.” Although Lin Chujiu didn’t know the Meng Family’s status in the central empire, she doesn’t want to owe a big favor to Meng Xiuyuan, so she refused without a second thought.

Meng Xiuyuan knows his status in the main branch of the family, so he didn’t say much, just persuaded: “The Zhang family has been more and more domineering in recent years, so they will not accept defeat.” He just wanted Lin Chujiu to know more about the Zhang Family’s behavior so that she will not suffer a big loss.

“Rest assured, I have a plan in mind.” Lin Chujiu calmly and confidently said. She didn’t have any trace of panic and anxiety in her face. When Meng Xiuyuan saw that, his heart felt at ease a bit.

However, Meng Xiuyuan was still feeling guilty for failing to help, so when Lin Chujiu asked him to help her write a deeply affectionate plea, Meng Xiuyuan wrote without hesitation. He didn’t act like the only son of the Dean of Wenchang College. Lin Chujiu secretly pondered: Meng Gongzi is truly a kind person.

She knew that many literate men were so noble that they wouldn’t easily write for others. Especially, such a promising and famous aristocratic son like Meng Xiuyuan… …
