The officials saw Zhai Tianyu's expression changing and slowly turning dark and immediately had different reactions. While the officials of Ji Yang fraction cheered up, the one in Liu Dong Ming's fraction turned sullen. They all turned to glare at Liu Yu Nan.
Just as Ji Yang thought no one believed that Liu Yu Nan did not steal the gold taels. Liu Yu Nan was known for his corrupt activities but he had only done small corruption till now, who would have thought that Liu Yu Nan would suddenly grow the guts of a tiger and he would actually steal so many gold taels? He even blamed it on the sea pirates who were rumoured to be targeting the officials.
But no one saw the sea pirates!
Who was he trying to fool?
Only Liu Dong Ming could see through Zhai Tianyu's thought process and was speechless. Was his daughter a demon? Why was this man acting as if she was going to eat him alive? Where was his majesty as the Emperor? Scared of his wife? A sixteen-year-old girl?
