The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

The young lady of the Marquis's mansion widened her eyes in shock and immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

"Princess, who is it that is spreading rumors about you! I have never said such a thing!"

Lin Chuyun had Xia Chu help the young lady of the Marquis's mansion up, glanced at Shi Yixi standing beside her, who was sweating profusely, and then smiled and spoke.

"Of course it's Scholar Shi!"

Shi Yixi looked up at Lin Chuyun. Everyone knew that the title "Scholar Shi" was now a mockery of him, and Lin Chuyun was saying it on purpose.

The young lady of the Marquis's mansion didn't care how Shi Yixi was addressed at all. When she heard the princess say that Shi Yixi was gossiping about her, she was furious!

"Shi Yixi, it was you who spoke nonsense in front of the princess!"

"no no..."

The young lady of the Marquis's mansion directly revealed what Shi Yixi had said to her before.

"Princess, it is I who should tell you that Shi Yixi said to me that you are willful and capricious! You have no manners whatsoever as a princess!"

Seeing the young lady of the Marquis's mansion looking like she was about to rush up and hit Shi Yixi, Lin Chuyun immediately told Zhu Chu to take the young lady of the Marquis's mansion downstairs.

Lin Chuyun raised an eyebrow as she looked at Shi Yixi, who had already knelt down on his own initiative. Was he admitting his guilt without being asked?

"Scholar Shi, do you have anything to explain now?"

"minister......."

"Fine, I don't want to listen to you. Get lost!"

Lin Chuyun's actions this time were solely to embarrass Shi Yixi, nothing more.

"Princess, that wasn't what I truly felt. I really do love you!"

Lin Chuyun didn't want to listen to Shi Yixi at all, and directly ordered her to pick him up and throw him out of the hall. Before he was thrown out, Shi Yixi was still shouting that it was true!

Lin Chuyun found it all very annoying, but when Xia Chu came in to report that another person wanted to see the princess, Lin Chuyun could only think of one person.

Lin Chuyun dismissed all the maids and watched as the person approached the hall.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects!"

"flat body"

Lin Chuyun recognized the familiar gesture and knew it was him. Ever since they confirmed they would be teammates entering the small world together, Lin Chuyun and Chen Lingmo had agreed on a hand gesture.

Just now, when Chen Lingmo got up, he made that gesture. Lin Chuyun looked around and saw that there was no one there, not even any maids.

The two sat together and discussed some plot details. Lin Chuyun also learned that Chen Ling's current name was Ji Yisi, and his official rank was just below Shi Yixi.

After all, the top scholar (状元) should indeed hold the highest official position, but besides the top scholar, the second and third scholars (榜眼 and 探花) are also considered high-ranking officials.

No wonder Shi Yixi was so flustered to express his loyalty to Lin Chuyun; he probably wanted to climb the social ladder by relying on Lin Chuyun!

Lin Chuyun knew that another heavy rainstorm was coming soon, which would damage many villages and even towns. In her previous life, Shi Yixu had solved this problem thanks to the original owner's money and connections.

But Shi Yixi took all the fame, so when the original owner discovered Ming Xiaxia in public, those people didn't care!

So in this life, Lin Chuyun plans to do it herself. She doesn't want to be someone behind the scenes. However, there are very few famous women in the past and present. Everyone thinks that only men can do this. But Lin Chuyun has money and connections, so how could she not do it!

After this incident, Ji Yisi volunteered to go to the place in the court where the rainstorm was most severe. It was extremely dangerous there. If he could complete the task, he might not receive any practical reward, but if he failed, he would be drowned in spittle!

They might even lose their lives there. In his previous life, Shi Yixi was always worried and unwilling to go. It was only after the original owner gave him all his guards and a large sum of money that Shi Yixi agreed to go.

However, when Shi Yixi arrived, it was already too late. The people had already harbored resentment towards the imperial court, and he was immediately chased and attacked by them upon his arrival.

Instead of comforting the people, Shi Yixi mocked them, seemingly oblivious to the fact that those officials were people willing to give their lives for the people.

This directly provoked public outrage, and the guards arranged by the original owner all died protecting Shi Yixi. Only then did Shi Yixi realize the need to show weakness and conceal his true emotions.

Fortunately, the items and methods brought by Shi Yixi did indeed reduce the subsequent losses for the people, but many houses were damaged. It turned out that the original owner had secretly funded Shi Yixi again.

Now, Shi Yixi was naturally unwilling to go. When he saw Ji Yisi volunteering, he even mocked him behind his back. After all, Ji Yisi was clearly not as capable as him, but he was still a rank official. He was just a fifth-rank official!

"It would be best if you went this time and didn't come back!"

Shi Yixi spoke in a sinister tone, revealing that he had been trying to see Lin Chuyun for days, but she had been refusing to let him. In contrast, Ji Yisi was able to easily see Lin Chuyun.

Shi Yixi was starting to panic. He felt that Lin Chuyun had lost control since falling into the water, and he could only go and check on the other noble ladies of the capital.

"I want to go with you this time!"

Lin Chuyun looked at Ji Yisi and finally made this decision. Ji Yisi looked at Lin Chuyun with some worry, after all, there was still some danger there.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself, and I'll also take good care of the people!"

"But what about His Majesty?"

"I will go and tell my father!"

Finally, after Lin Chuyun's coaxing, the emperor agreed and even gave her two of his personal guards. However, only her two personal maids, the emperor and Ji Yisi, knew that Lin Chuyun had left the palace.

Ji Yisi arrived just in time; the public wasn't too angry yet, so he resolved the situation smoothly. Lin Chuyun, disguised as a servant, accompanied Ji Yisi to appease the crowd.

Soon, the disaster situation here was almost under control. On the day of their departure, the locals spontaneously went to see Ji Yisi and Lin Chuyun off.

The words shouted by the people kneeling on the ground stunned Lin Chuyun.

"How do you know?"

"We're not stupid, we could tell on the first day why such a delicate young lady would come here."

"Yes, we know that His Majesty the Emperor has a beloved princess who is the right age!"

Lin Chuyun didn't expect the public to recognize her on the very first day. In the end, the two left surrounded by the crowd.

The emperor, having learned of what had happened, promoted Ji Yisi to the fifth rank, just above Shi Yixi. Lin Chuyun laughed when she found out.

"My father really understands me. I only hinted at it a few times, and he knew what to do!"

Ji Yisi smiled as he looked at Lin Chuyun. In his opinion, as long as the task was completed, that was all that mattered. He believed Lin Chuyun could do whatever made her happy.
