Chapter 1849: Resentment and Anger
Betraying Lin Yuelan was ungrateful.
The five brothers had to die to atone for their sins!
Otherwise, even if Lin Yuelan forgave them, their conscience would never let them live.
However, they had followed Lin Yuelan for a few years, so they were clear about this.
Lin Yuelan would never forgive them. Instead, they would have to accept retribution.
Second Brother Hu was pressed down by his brothers and fed medicine. Out of survival instinct, he could only struggle with all his might. However, his brothers were all craftsmen and had plenty of strength.
Therefore, no matter how he struggled, he could not break free. He could only watch as his brother fed him the medicine.
“Big brother, third brother, do you really want me to die?” Suddenly, he pushed his brothers away. “I…”
Soon, he was stunned.
A pair of black hands touched his throat and then said happily,”I… I can actually speak!”
“Since you can speak, then tell me clearly how I owe you money!” Lin Yuelan’s sharp shout immediately sounded in Second Brother Hu’s ears.
Second Brother Hu’s excitement was immediately doused with a bucket of cold water.
Second Brother Hu looked at Lin Yuelan, who had a dignified and fierce look in her eyes, but he could not say anything for a moment. He stuttered,” I… I…”
Prince Ping said encouragingly,” Second Brother Hu, don’t be afraid. The emperor is here. If you have any grievances, you can tell him in detail. The emperor will definitely make a decision for you. You don’t have to worry that someone will cover up the truth and deceive the world!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he was filled with anger again. He questioned loudly,” Prince Ping, who are you talking about?”
Prince Ping looked at the furious Jiang Zhennan and laughed.” Who else can it be?”
“You!” Jiang Zhennan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. However, he was stopped by Lin Yuelan. She said,” Brother Nan, don’t be angry. His Majesty is here, and he will naturally give us justice.”
Prince Ping’s face darkened when he heard that. He looked at Second Brother Hu and said angrily,” What are you waiting for? Hurry up and report your grievances!”
Second Brother Hu was quick-witted. Then, he kowtowed in the direction of the empress and the emperor and shouted loudly,” Your Majesty, please make the decision!”
The Emperor said majestically,” Tell me! If you lie, your head will be gone!”
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, Second Brother Hu and Boss Hu’s faces turned pale again.
Boss Hu quickly pulled Second Brother Hu back and advised him with a pale face,” Second Brother, we can’t do this. The princess has already treated us well enough, and she doesn’t owe us anything at all. We’ll leave now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp and dignified voice shouted, “Nonsense!”
This voice naturally belonged to the Emperor.
He then shouted,” Boss Hu, according to what you said, the princess doesn’t owe you any money?! Then do you know that just because you people are holding a sign, kneeling in front of the Crown Prince’s residence, and accusing the Princess of Guguo, I can have people pull you down and behead you immediately!”
When Boss Hu and the others heard this, they were so frightened that their entire bodies trembled. They kowtowed and said,” Your Majesty, please spare our lives. Your Majesty, please spare our lives. We, the moners, do not dare to…”
At this moment, Second Brother Hu suddenly seemed to be provoked and said loudly, “Your Majesty, this moner and the others are from Lin… When Princess Guguo established the Lin Family Real Estate Construction pany, we had been working with her. Moreover, this craftsman team is mainly made up of us brothers. We bring a group of other brothers and helpers to build houses and sweat everywhere. It can be said that we contributed the most to Lin Group’s housing construction pany. It’s only natural that we should receive the greatest reward.
“Not only did this princess of Guguo only give us meagre wages, but she suddenly arranged for a young girl who doesn’t know anything to take care of us. How can we be convinced? We brothers worked so hard to create a reputation, but all the credit goes to that girl, Lin Jinmei. The houses that we created that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver go all to the princess of Guguo, and we only get a pitiful few dozen taels of silver. Emperor, shouldn’t we ask for this money?”
What Second Brother Hu said was what Boss Hu and the others thought.
They had been following Lin Yuelan for the past few years. It was clear that the house was built by their brothers, but the credit, reputation, and money did not belong to them. This gradually made them feel resentful and resentful.
Otherwise, they would not have followed Second Brother Hu here to cause trouble.
However, after ing here, especially after hearing Jiang Zhennan’s words, they felt extremely regretful, so they wanted to retreat.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If they had not met Lin Yuelan back then, they would still be just a small craftsman in Ning An Town. They would also work hard every day, but they could not earn much money.
Therefore, they were hesitant and conflicted. They wanted to seek justice for themselves, but they were afraid of being called ungrateful.
However, now that Second Brother Hu had told them about these things, they did not know whether they should heave a sigh of relief or hold it in and continue to be nervous.
“Bastard!” Right at this moment, a clear and beautiful voice was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman walking over.
She looked at the other 20 to 30 workers kneeling on the ground and asked sharply, “Ask your conscience. Did the Lin Group’s housing construction pany mistreat you? Did I really owe you any hard-earned money?”
