Chapter 468: Details, a big problem (Part 2)
Meng Xiuyuan spoke slowly and seriously, in fear that Lin Chujiu couldn’t understand the status of the Zhang family . After thinking about it, he added: “The Zhang family donated half of their family assets to the emperor and sent a pair of twin sisters to the palace during the empress dowager’s birthday . The twin sisters are adored by the emperor and have been honored for 20 years . One of the sisters give birth to the Eight Prince and is now 17-years-old . The emperor loved him dearly . If there is no current crown prince, he will likely sit on that throne . ”
In the end, Meng Xiuyuan looked at Lin Chujiu with anxiety . His deep eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, he said nothing .

Lin Chujiu didn’t realize it, she didn’t pay much attention to his words . She just smiled carelessly: “It seems like a bumped into a monster . ” With the Zhang Family’s status, they will definitely take a shot before she could do so .
“They’re not monsters . They’re just related to the imperial family . Although the imperial family’s power is getting more and more important, the rights of the aristocrat families in the Central Empire are still very large . The emperor needs to give the face the top four of great families, which are Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong and Xiling Family . ”
The seven great families of the Central Empire were Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong, Xiling, Hua, Tang, and Lin . The top four families were also known as the four dragon legs of the Central Empire . Their family lived in the east, south, west, and north of the central empire, which surrounded the capital .

“I have no friendship with the seven great families of the Central Empire . ” The Zhang family of the central empire can be said a huge family, but if one of the seven great families will move forward, the Zhang Family will definitely concede . However, the problem is, Lin Chujiu cannot do that . She has no relationship with the seven great families .
Although, she’s very reluctant to admit … that she may have a relationship with the Lin family of the central empire . She doesn’t know if the Lin Family will help her, an outsider, to go forth against the Zhang Family, who will likely snatch their current position . The Zhang Family has now the same strength as the Lin Family . So the Zhang Family might not give the Lin Family a face .
After a moment of pondering, Meng Xiuyuan said: “The Meng family has a connection in marriage with the Dongyang, Beitang, Nanrong, and Xiling Family . I’ll write them a message and ask for help, maybe there will be a way . ”

Meng Xiuyuan was not part of the legitimate branch of the Meng Family in the central empire . Their position in Wenchang College was already pretty awkward . So even if he sends a letter, it might not become effective, so he was hesitating a bit .
“You don’t need to trouble yourself . A strong dragon cannot repress a snake . This is the East Country . The Zhang Family of Central Empire also needs to consider things to some degree, even if they are arrogant . ” Although Lin Chujiu didn’t know the Meng Family’s status in the central empire, she doesn’t want to owe a big favor to Meng Xiuyuan, so she refused without a second thought .
Meng Xiuyuan knows his status in the main branch of the family, so he didn’t say much, just persuaded: “The Zhang family has been more and more domineering in recent years, so they will not accept defeat . ” He just wanted Lin Chujiu to know more about the Zhang Family’s behavior so that she will not suffer a big loss .
“Rest assured, I have a plan in mind . ” Lin Chujiu calmly and confidently said . She didn’t have any trace of panic and anxiety in her face . When Meng Xiuyuan saw that, his heart felt at ease a bit .
However, Meng Xiuyuan was still feeling guilty for failing to help, so when Lin Chujiu asked him to help her write a deeply affectionate plea, Meng Xiuyuan wrote without hesitation . He didn’t act like the only son of the Dean of Wenchang College . Lin Chujiu secretly pondered: Meng Gongzi is truly a kind person .
She knew that many literate men were so noble that they wouldn’t easily write for others . Especially, such a promising and famous aristocratic son like Meng Xiuyuan… …
