Lin Yue'e already had a fine figure, and with her pretty, spirited face, she looked truly sharp in uniform.
Li Chen even thought about having a set made for Chu Ruoyan to try on. Paired with her long legs, this uniform would have a charm all its own.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to wear this uniform."
Lin Yue'e actually loved her job, but certain troubles had been making her unhappy.
Noticing the gloom between her brows, Li Chen asked how work had been going lately and told her to speak frankly.
Lin Yue'e looked at him for a while, seemingly coming to a decision, then asked the owner to bring some wine.
The same old rule applied: she didn't dare tell the truth without a little alcohol.
Only after drinking two pots did Lin Yue'e finally pour out her recent woes.
In her few days as a constable, she had followed the laws of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty, arresting those who deserved arrest and punishing those who deserved punishment.
The problem was that just about everyone around here had connections, and all the people she arrested would pull strings higher up.
Never mind the royals and powerful nobles themselves-even their household stewards could make the Governor of her office rise to greet them, while the Chief Constable had to bow and scrape.
After the stewards finished lecturing the Governor and Chief Constable, those two would come lecture her.
Every time, they made Lin Yue'e apologize to the people she had arrested. But she was stubborn and refused.
In the end, the Chief Constable had no choice but to apologize on her behalf.
"I clearly didn't do anything wrong! Why should I apologize? I'm here to work, not to say sorry."
