After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 92 Hand Me Over

Fang Lingchu continued eating; she was truly hungry.

Minister Fang sat down and ate with everyone.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Minister Fang looked at his youngest daughter and said, "His Majesty said that you should start attending court tomorrow."

Upon hearing that she had to go to work tomorrow, Fang Lingchu said with dissatisfaction, "Why? I haven't had enough rest yet."

Minister Fang glanced at his daughter, whose mouth was greasy from eating, closed his eyes, and said, "The Crown Prince and General Gu went to court today. You didn't contribute anything, so why are you resting?"

After listening to her father's words, Fang Lingchu couldn't help but complain to the system in her mind.

Are the Crown Prince and Gu Wangyan out of their minds? Otherwise, why would they go to work today? Do they even realize how terrible their behavior is? It's one thing for them not to rest, but why are they dragging me into this?

Fang Lingchu cursed the Crown Prince and Gu Wangyan in her heart, but on the surface she still had to maintain a certain image.

Although Fang Lingchu had long lost her image in other people's eyes, she herself didn't realize it!

"Father, can we make a deal? Can I go the day after tomorrow? You can ask for leave for me and say that I'm injured and not feeling well."

Minister Fang looked at his daughter and said expressionlessly, "His Majesty said that even if we have to carry you, we will carry you to court. Moreover, the Crown Prince has already said that you are not injured, which is good."

Fang Lingchu felt wronged, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was trembling with sobs.

"But I'm scared too. There are so many snakes, so many wolves, and those drug people are so scary. As a girl, shouldn't it be normal for me to have some psychological problems when facing those things?"

When Minister Fang saw his daughter like this, he almost softened.

But the next moment, they heard Fang Lingchu's conversation with the system.

[System, how was my performance? This trick always works, it'll definitely have my dad completely under my thumb. Hehehehe]

Her heartache vanished instantly. She looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If you intend to defy the imperial decree, then our whole family can meet at the guillotine."

Fang Lingchu was stunned when she heard her father's words.

[Guagua, it seems like my dad doesn't love me anymore. He doesn't even feel sorry for my tears anymore. Waaaaaah, sob sob sob, I don't have a dad anymore.]

Upon hearing the last sentence, Minister Fang almost got up and beat Fang Lingchu.

Fang Lingchu was suddenly startled by Fang Shangshu's fierce gaze. She quickly got up and jumped a few meters away from him, then said, "Father, I just don't want to go to court. You don't have to look like you want to beat me to death."

Minister Fang was so angry he almost choked. He glared at her fiercely and said, "You come here right now."

Hearing Minister Fang's call, Fang Lingchu jumped even further away, looking at her father with a wary expression, and said, "Why do you want me to go over there? Father, your daughter is suffering from mental torment, you can't hit me anymore."

Minister Fang, suppressing his anger, said, "Come here, His Majesty has something for you."

Upon hearing that the emperor had something for her, Fang Lingchu moved her feet slowly with a wary expression, while asking the system in her mind.

[Guagua, does His Majesty really have something he asked my father to give me?]

The system said: [Don't worry, host, it's true. Besides, you were just assassinated yesterday, your father shouldn't be willing to hit you.]

Only after hearing the system's words did she feel relieved enough to walk up to her father.

Minister Fang took out a box from his sleeve, placed it in Fang Lingchu's hand, and said, "After you finish eating, go back to your room and get some rest so you can go to court tomorrow."

Fang Lingchu took the box, weighed it in her hands, and then bid farewell to her parents.

Only after seeing Fang Lingchu leave did Minister Fang's anger subside a little.

Then he looked at his son and said, "Don't come home for the time being."

His words left everyone at the table utterly bewildered. Minister Fang, unable to speak directly, made a pointed remark about Fang Lingchu and the box she had just taken.

They didn't say anything more.

After the two young masters of the Fang family finished their meal, Minister Fang saw them off.

Then Minister Fang took Lin Wanrou to study calligraphy.

The two of them talked about something, and the next day, the Fang family girls' school had several more female students, and the content of their teaching was no different from that of the men.

A gentleman should master all six arts, without neglecting any of them.

Several talented women from prominent families also came, as did two daughters from the Su family. Although they had been granted official positions, they were only outside the official ranks and not officially appointed officials by the court, so they also had to learn.

In addition to Fang Lingyan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, there were a total of more than a dozen noble ladies participating in this secret teaching session.

Su Shushuang was both a student and a teacher, so she was quite busy and moved into the Fang family's house.

Fang Lingchu's side.

Back in my room, I couldn't wait to open the box.

Then I saw a note and an appointment letter.

"Fang Lingchu, the young master Fang, is hereby appointed as the chief examiner for the Spring Examination."

There was also a small stamp at the bottom of the box, with the words "fair and honest, selfless" written on it, along with the stamp and her name.

Fang Lingchu turned the box over and over, even emptying its contents.

The system, not understanding what Fang Lingchu was trying to do, asked, "Host, what are you doing?"

Fang Lingchu said with an incredulous look, "No, the Emperor only gave me this?"

The system didn't understand why Fang Lingchu had that expression.

What's wrong? Something's not right?

Fang Lingchu was furious and said, "Of course it's wrong! I did save his son, after all. I'm not talking about a fortune in gold, but at least I should be rewarded with something useful. This is just making me work overtime. Is this how emperors repay kindness with enmity?"

The system thought for a moment and said, "But others don't know you saved the Crown Prince. Everyone only saw all the generals fighting desperately to protect him."

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu was speechless for a moment.

He threw the things back into the box, tossed the box onto the bed, and lay down on it, looking like he was just giving up.

Seeing Fang Lingchu's utterly dejected expression, the system advised her: "[Before, don't be like this. Think about how many lives you've saved. Does that make you feel a little better?]"

Fang Lingchu said sullenly, "[This is terrible. I don't want to be this kind of unsung hero at all, sob sob sob]"

The system suggested: "Or you could hand me over?"

When Minister Fang, who was eavesdropping outside, heard the system's words, his breathing slowed down.

His eyes were wide open; he was extremely nervous.

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu immediately stood up and said, "System, do you want me to be captured like a monster and burned alive?! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

The system knew that what it had just said was a bad idea, so it could only laugh and try to appease people.
