Chapter 255: Extra Story: Yu Zhong
[Oh my gosh! Help!!!]
This cry of surprise startled the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yu Zhong.
[Oh my gosh!]
[Ah!!! Someone help me, save me!]
He looked around and saw everyone seemed accustomed to it, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Today was his first day on the job, he couldn’t afford a mistake.
If not for the recent mishap at the Ministry of Justice, which caused a temporary shortage of staff, he wouldn’t have gotten this position.
[Ah, what a nice day it is today, with a gentle breeze and pleasant fragrance, it feels like summer!]
[I really want to fly a kite in the countryside...]
[No worries, surviving is already an achievement, no worries, no need to be nervous, gold will shine eventually...]
Yu Zhong took a deep breath, what Vice Director Su said was right, no need to be nervous, gold will shine eventually, now it’s his time to shine.
[Life is like a game of chess, I am born to be useful...]
Exactly, exactly! I am born to be useful!
[I can choose not to be...]
Yu Zhong: "???"
[Grape wine in luminous cups, one for cattle and horses, one for me...]
Does the Vice Director of Revenue do this every day?
How serious a place the Golden Hall is, yet never criticized?
Forget it, this isn’t his concern, better to think about how to establish connections with colleagues, a very important matter.
Yu Zhong couldn’t help but worry about his declining Yu Family, but in front of him were important courtiers, how could he make them remember him, how could he fit in with them...
[That being said, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice has quite a perky behind, bet it feels nice.]
But it must be said, Vice Director Su is really out of line, even uttering such audacious words, this newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice is really too pitiful... wait?
Isn’t he the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice?!
At just twenty-six and unmarried, Yu Zhong’s face turned red: "!!!"
The surrounding people were looking at him, some courtiers were wondering who Su Juan was talking about, but following others’ gazes, it became clear.
Yu Zhong’s heart was in his throat, his body frozen, not daring to move.
[Pah, pah, pah! Su Juan, you are talking nonsense, how can you desecrate such a wise and heroic Minister of the Ministry of Justice!]
[Really outrageous and improper.]
[But indeed, it’s perky, who wouldn’t want to pat it twice if they see it?]
Yu Zhong’s face flushed red, never being stared at his behind by girls before, awkwardly moving a few steps, wanting to escape Su Juan’s gaze.
Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue gave him a sympathetic look, kindly shielding him from Su Juan’s gaze, giving him an "I understand" expression.
Yu Zhong wanted to cry but had no tears, he wanted to make connections with more colleagues, but he didn’t want to do it this way!
Minister Mo saw his embarrassment and earnestly said, "You’ll get used to it."
Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "..."
Who can get used to being stared at their behind like this!
After the court session that day, Yu Zhong ran away, clenching his behind, being stopped by two or three people on the way, taken to a restaurant for drinks, only finding out after a jug that they too were victims of Su Juan’s harassment.
Colleagues patted Yu Zhong’s shoulder like someone who had been through it saying, "We are all victims in misfortune..."
Yu Zhong: But I don’t want to be victimized with you guys!
...
Since that day in the Golden Hall, every time Yu Zhong met those colleagues at court, whether familiar or not, their gazes were fixed on his behind.
In less than half a month, his perky behind became famous far and wide, even matchmakers visiting would first want to see the behind.
Without even having dealings with this Vice Director of Revenue, Yu Zhong had already suffered deeply, secretly vowing to stay away from this notorious Lord Su.
Running into Su Juan was due to a high-profile case that had taken the court by storm; that day he was about to leave when people below reported that the Vice Director of Revenue was waiting outside.
When he reached outside, Yu Zhong was stunned for a moment.
A girl stood not far away, dressed in a purple gown like a fairy descended to the mortal world, graceful and beautiful, with skin like cream, every strand of hair seemed soft, looking very demure and bright.
Which family does this girl belong to, why is she standing here alone, without anyone serving next to her?
She was exactly his type, with a charming face, looking gentle and quiet, speaking lightly and softly, tenderly.
The girls in the capital were indeed different from those in several places in Huai State, just looking was delightful.
Yu Zhong forcefully moved his gaze away from the person in front of him, looking around, not seeing any other figures, thinking: Isn’t Vice Director of Revenue supposed to be waiting outside, where are they!?
