Chapter 277: Young Master Lin Gives Her an Out

Chapter 277: Young Master Lin Gives Her an Out

Lin Nuo once again refreshed his understanding of young ladies from noble families.

They were graceful and elegant, especially in big occasions, adhering strictly to etiquette. Even if they held opinions against someone, they were always polite on the surface.

That was the public’s perception of noble young ladies.

Of course, this was just a conventional understanding.

After all, there could be countless variables in this world.

Qin Shili was proud and aloof, it was understandable if she occasionally shot cold remarks at others. But the amiable Liu Shuqin joining in on the verbal sparring was truly surprising.

However, Liu Shuqin’s way of dishing out comments still had an air of sophistication, always claiming that her harsh words were for Zhou Hui’s own good, maintaining the moral high ground throughout.

On the other hand, Su Kexin was more direct, openly saying that Zhou Hui was embarrassing herself and sticking out her tongue, a classic childlike mockery.

As for Luo Xiaoxue, she mixed sharpness with steadiness. Her careless comments, like calling someone a nouveau riche who couldn’t even smile while eating, seemed boastful at first glance but were essentially the truth.

After all, she had sufficient means and was entirely qualified to say such things.

Lin Nuo walked over, not yet starting the meal, casually tossing a few peanuts into his mouth from his hand.

Noticing Lin Nuo’s arrival, the girls all turned their gazes towards him.

Lin Nuo asked, “What’s up?”

“Just giving suggestions to Miss Zhou,” Qin Shili responded first.

“I told you there’s no need to squabble with her; that just lowers your status. Here, have a peanut to calm down a bit.”

Lin Nuo handed each of the four ladies a peanut. Ideally, some drinks would accompany them, but they probably wouldn’t drink, so that was that.

“Ha, Lin Nuo, you can’t deal with me, so you have them step in, huh? Bullying me with numbers, is that your style?” Zhou Hui huffed angrily.

“Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t incite them, and honestly, you have no right to ask me to. Everyone knows what you’re like. Just getting verbal jabs instead of a beating is already good enough for you,” Lin Nuo nonchalantly snarked while munching on his peanuts.

“And by the way, don’t talk to me about grace. I have plenty of grace; otherwise, you’d never be standing here talking.”

If Zhou Hui was treated as the big villain, she definitely wouldn’t be around anymore.

“What’s going on here?”

Lin Nuo’s father, Lin Yuan, approached, followed closely by Zhou Hui’s father, Zhou Wu.

“Dad, they’re bullying me just because there are more of them!” Zhou Hui hurriedly pouted to her father, plotting her revenge.

“Is this true, Nuo’er?” Lin Yuan questioned Lin Nuo.

Zhou Hui thought Lin Nuo would definitely refute with an explanation, giving her the chance to feign innocence, making things even messier.

Then Lin Nuo casually replied, “Her statement is a bit off. They didn’t bully her; it was just me bullying her. What’s the problem with that?”

“Wait, Junior Martial Brother didn’t…”

Liu Shuqin was about to clarify when Lin Nuo quickly shoved her another peanut, cutting her off with, “Peanuts are tasty; eat more. I suggest you keep out of this—it’s my affair with the Zhou family.”

Lin Nuo then turned his gaze towards Zhou Wu and continued, “The Zhou family is a big household; surely, you wouldn’t fuss over a down-and-out young master like me, right?”

Zhou Wu suspected Lin Nuo was being a bit mischievous and avoided a direct confrontation, turning instead to Lin Yuan. “Lord Lin, my Hui’er is quite precious and cannot bear grievances. Please take charge of this.”

“Yes, I understand,” Lin Yuan turned to Lin Nuo, looking serious. “Nuo’er, apologize to Miss Zhou.”

“You do it. Why didn’t anyone apologize to me before?” Lin Nuo sneered, unconsciously finishing his peanuts.

“Ah, I ran out so quickly; I need to grab some more.”

“Nuo’er, you’re being rude; after all, you represent our Lin family.”

“Stop trying to play that card with me; who represents your Lin family?” Lin Nuo shot back in front of Lin Yuan, as a villain, feeling no need to humor anyone. Now that he was annoyed, he definitely wouldn’t give any face.

He didn’t care about reputation; if someone tried to oppress him, he wouldn’t grant them any courtesy.

In his mind, he had dozens of schemes to take down the Lin family, but for now, he hadn’t fully entered villain mode; he was just keeping it in reserve.

If the Lin family dared to be unreasonable, he wouldn’t mind switching to full villain mode.

Things escalated; what was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned sour, and everyone’s attention shifted to Lin Nuo and the others.

The Lin family was embarrassed, but Lin Nuo was secretly gleeful.

Well, this was great! The situation had blown up, the Lin family’s prestige was in tatters, and everyone was satisfied.

Seeing Lin Nuo taking the brunt of the blame for their reputations, Luo Xiaoxue couldn’t just stand by idly.

At this moment, she approached Dai Sheng and another minister. The two walked over, exchanged pleasantries, and Dai Sheng said, “Lord Lin, Lord Zhou, there’s been a misunderstanding. We were nearby and witnessed everything. Firstly, it was Miss Zhou who stirred trouble; Young Master Lin was only responding appropriately. As for her claims of bullying, he merely gave her an out, yet she refused to acknowledge it and even maliciously complained. We couldn’t stand by and decided to clarify the matter.”

“This…”

Both Lin Yuan and Zhou Wu were taken aback.

Dai Sheng and his companions were high-ranking officials of the court; they wouldn’t deliberately favor Lin Nuo. This might truly be the reality.

If it was indeed like this, then things would get awkward.

Lin Nuo was also puzzled.

Where did these two come from? When did I give her an out? Am I that kind of person?

Lin Nuo quickly clarified, “There’s no need for the two lords to speak up for me; the truth is I did bully her.”

“No, Young Master Lin, you are magnanimous, we know this, but we can’t allow you to be wronged. Our conscience doesn’t allow it; we must come forward to relay the truth.”

Dai Sheng hurriedly replied, as this was at the behest of the princess, they had to restore your reputation.

“No…”

“Please, Young Master Lin, don’t say anymore; we all didn’t see that, and so did the ladies present.”

“Don’t muddy the waters!”

Lin Nuo gave in, he was just all fired up to counter Zhou’s family and Lin Yuan, but now others were accusing him of being rude. This was the treatment a villain should receive.

This is just plain slander!

“Yes, yes, indeed, Young Master Lin is definitely giving her an out, with the best of intentions.”

Luo Xiaoxue immediately chimed in, “It’s a pity she doesn’t appreciate it and even slanders Young Master Lin. Dai Sheng, doesn’t this lack the proper decorum that a lady should possess?”

Dai Sheng quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, it’s unbecoming for the Zhou family; Lord Zhou should reflect on this.”

With more people chiming in, Zhou Wu’s side was clearly at a disadvantage. After all, they were bullying with their numbers, and being scolded by high-ranking court officials had him shrinking back, losing all his prior boldness.

“Apologies, I, Zhou, lack proper management, causing trouble for Young Master Lin; I apologize on her behalf.”

Zhou Wu quickly bowed alongside Zhou Hui, though Zhou Hui was reluctant, she had no choice but to go along.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Wait, just like that, you give in? Keep arguing, I was planning to keep needling you!

Now that you’ve apologized, what’s the point of me countering you?
