Da Li Temple - Chapter 31.1

Chapter 31.1
Support

Lin Wanqing was stunned. Her face still had that usual humble smile, “Why did the Lord always not believe in me?”
??
Su Moyi looked at her in silence with a complex expression. The sun was bright, and the wind was gentle, but it was like there was a frozen road between them, and they could only stop at the same time.
??
After a long time, Su Moyi said solemnly: “Recorder Lin asked me to trust you, but when have you ever trusted me?”
??
Lin Wanqing choked, speechless.
??
“In that case,” Su Moyi coldly laughed, “Song Zhengxing’s case, in the future, I won’t bother Recorder Lin.”
??
The stern and swift Lord Su did what he said and acted resolutely. At the same time as giving this decision, he sent her to take charge of the public hall recordings.
??
The public hall was different from Su Moyi’s side. Most cases had already been well-documented, only lacking the judge’s decision.
??
Lin Wanqing, who suddenly became a writing tool, buried in piles of confessions every day, feeling indignant in her heart. What’s even more infuriating was that several times during this period, Lin Wanqing watched Su Moyi enter the study room. But when she tried to beg for an audience, she was told by the helpless Ye Qing, “Lord said that he’s not in.”
??
Okay —
??
Once Lord Su’s dog temper came up, one could do nothing. She couldn’t tell Su Moyi the truth, and Su Moyi wouldn’t give in.
??
She hadn’t met Su Moyi for a while, and even if she would like to admit fault and make a trick, it was impossible —
??
Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing sighed, only to feel that the candied hawthorns in her hand were not so sweet anymore.

“What’s wrong?” Liang Weiping, who was eating candied hawthorns next to her, had a surprised look
??
“Nothing ……” Lin Wanqing casually responded, tugging Liang Weiping’s sleeve: “Brother Liang, do you have any connections to the Archives Department?”
??
Liang Weiping, who concentrated on gnawing the candied hawthorns, was pulled by her, and the bamboo stick stabbed him in the throat, causing him to retch.
??
The startled Lin Wanqing was about to pat his back, but she saw him bite down on three candied hawthorns smoothly.
??
“……” Lin Wanqing drew the corners of her mouth and gave him the candied hawthorn stick in her hand, “Brother Liang, if you like it, just eat one more. I’ve eaten enough.”
??
“Oh,” Liang Weiping took it impolitely, nibbling on a bunch in one hand.
??
“I indeed have some relationship. But I need to know what you’re up to again.”
??
“I …… “Lin Wanqing wanted to cry. “Didn’t I change my license from Capital Government Office to Da Li Temple? But recently, I seem to offend that dog official again. You know that the Ministry of Officials always tends to fawns the powerful ones. You said if he didn’t ask or intentionally make some stumble, the Ministry of Officials may drag my matter to what year or month.”
??
“Well,” Liang Weiping continued to chew on the candied hawthorns and agreed, “So what do you want?”
??
Lin Wanqing hurriedly said, “Brother Liang, help me to find someone to check whether the Da Li Temple had listed me so I had some measures in my heart.”
??
“Then, what if you’re unlisted?”
??
“……” This question instantly strangled Lin Wanqing.
??
Liang Weiping saw the sadness in her face and silently closed the topic. Then, he led her straight to the Archives Department.
??
The Archives Department is a place set up by the imperial court, specializing in the records of officials at all levels. Before Liang Weiping came to the Capital Government Office, he was one of the recorders here. Therefore, he knew a lot of people and was able to say a few words.

When they arrived, it was lunchtime, and the people who managed the records changed shifts to have their meals. Liang Weiping went for a round trip outside and took Lin Wanqing to the hall where the records were stored. He went to find an old acquaintance to inquire about news and instructed Lin Wanqing to wait there.
??
On this afternoon summer, cicadas chirped in the trees like millions of bees buzzing around her.
??
Lin Wanqing sadly walked to the hall eaves to avoid the heat.
??
Then, a small recorder-like man called out to her. “You’re from Da Li temple, aren’t you?” He asked in a businesslike tone, his eyes falling on the token at her waist.
??
Lin Wanqing nodded numbly, unsure. That little recorder then fetched a volume of books from the room and handed it to her, “This is what your Lord Su wants.” Without waiting for Lin Wanqing to explain, the small recorder handed the item to her. His face was a bit unhappy, “The list of Hongzhou’s governors over the years is all here. I know your lord is busy with his official duties, but we also need sleep and eat, don’t we?”
??
After saying that, he lost his temper and seemed to throw things away. With a look of finally taking off his hands, he turned around and left, leaving Lin Wanqing with a resentful back.
??
“……” Lin Wanqing, who inexplicably took the blame for the insensitive Lord Su, held the volume of books and stood still for a moment before reacting.
??
Hongzhou Governor? Isn’t this Song Zhengxing’s official position before he came to Sheng City?

When her mind came together, she couldn’t hold down her curiosity. Anyway, it was the person himself who handed it to her. She didn’t steal it. She didn’t snatch it. She was indeed from Da Li Temple, so it wouldn’t be considered as prying into secrets if she took a quick look at it.
??
Lin Wanqing comforted herself while holding her breath, lifting a corner of the book. Her eyes flowed quickly, sweeping over the last page of the book.

Lin Wanqing’s eyes suddenly turned white, and she almost couldn’t stand. That pile of messy small letters actually contained her biological father’s name, Xiao Jingyan!
??
Thinking that she had misread it, Lin Wanqing went to the sunlight to take advantage of the light and went through the last page of the “List of Appointed Governors” again—
