As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Minister Lin's residence. The group of people walking on the street with a man with a bloody face had already attracted a lot of attention.
However, because the group of people looked murderous, not many people dared to gather at the gate of Minister Lin’s mansion.
The guard also failed to recognize their second son because he was beaten so badly. In addition, the Lin family has been in great glory recently, with the empress and concubines all being members of their Lin family.
The original Lin family was just a second-rate family, but suddenly became a powerful family in the court. The qualities of some people were also uneven. It happened that this gatekeeper was...
He was the kind of person who looked down on others. When he saw a group of people who looked like servants standing at his door, he immediately started shouting loudly.
"You lowly people are so bold that you dare to gather together and cause trouble at the gate of our Shangshu Mansion!"
The shopkeeper was so angry that he laughed. It seems that there is really no need to worry about the Lin family. He doesn't need to take them to heart at all. What kind of people are they
But at this time he had to stand up and speak, looking at the guard: "Young man, I am the owner of Kyoto Restaurant."
"I am following the order of the county lady to send your second young master back."
When the guard heard this, he sneered, "Then where is our second young master?"
The shopkeeper pointed at Lin Xin who was pressed in the middle. The guard also saw Lin Xin and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Is this our second young master? The clothes are similar."
"Our second young master is a handsome and elegant man, he is nothing like the pig-head in front of us, you are so brave!"
When the second young master Lin heard his own guard calling him a pig head, he was so angry that he screamed, but because he had no teeth, he didn't know what he was yelling.
The shopkeeper felt a little sympathy when he looked at the security guard. Some people could not help themselves if they were to seek death. Thinking of this, he sighed.
"My dear, I am the owner of the Kyoto Restaurant, but I never lie. If you don't report it, don't blame others for what happens to you."
The guard was frightened by these words, and his face turned pale, because he thought of one thing, if the man in front of him was really the second young master, then the world would be in turmoil.
"Just wait for me. I will report to my husband and wife right now. How dare you hit our second young master?"
As he spoke, he ran inside. Soon, Minister Lin came out with Madam Lin, but this Madam Lin was not the Queen's mother.
That is to say, the one that Minister Lin brought out was not his actual wife. Of course, the shopkeeper didn't know that, because she was the lady of the inner house and no one else knew her.
Besides, the wife inside the house didn't often go out, and the shopkeeper was a man. When he saw Minister Lin coming out, he went to greet him.
"I meet Master Lin."
Minister Lin frowned, but he recognized his son. He was very angry and looked at the shopkeeper coldly: "Shopkeeper, why did you beat my son like this?"
The shopkeeper naturally didn't have the hobby of trying to please someone who didn't like him. Seeing that Minister Lin was unhappy, the shopkeeper wouldn't say anything, and of course he wouldn't be so tactful in his words.
"I didn't do this. I just sent the Second Young Master Lin back out of kindness! In addition, I have another message that the county lady asked me to bring to you."
"The county lady asks you, what is she? Sir Lin, please go to the Kyoto Restaurant and answer the county lady yourself. I'll take my leave now!"
I originally wanted to explain to Lord Lin what happened, but the shopkeeper was not so kind. He left after saying these words.
Seeing the shopkeeper turn around and leave, Second Young Master Lin's mother started crying and looked at Master Lin: "Master, who is this county lady?"
"She is so bold that she dares to beat our son. Doesn't she know that our son is the brother of the imperial concubine? A county lady is so arrogant!"
Minister Lin also frowned. The shopkeeper just mentioned the county lord but did not mention which county lord. As far as he knew, the county lord that he was afraid of was not in Kyoto.
But Lord Lin didn't know that Xiaoman had already returned. Seeing his beloved concubine crying like this and his son being beaten like this, Lord Lin was very angry.
"Since the other party is waiting for me at the Kyoto Restaurant, I will go there now."
Lin Chongqie stood up and said, "Master, I want to go with you to see which county lady is so brave!"
The Second Young Master Lin opened his mouth to speak, babbling something, but no one could hear clearly what he was saying, and the people around him did not dare to speak.
I was afraid that once I opened my mouth, my husband and I would think of them. Lord Lin would naturally not refuse his concubine's request, so he prepared to take her with him.
Of course, this favorite concubine is very powerful, and she will not forget those who serve her son. She snorted coldly, "These servants who follow my son."
"They were all beaten to death. My son was injured so badly, but they were fine. I don't know what to do with the loyal servants who protected their master."
Sure enough, Lin Chongqi's words were soon put into practice. The two servants were taken away. Although they begged for mercy, it was of no avail, and Lord Lin would not bear to see them.
It was normal for a wife to feel distressed and vent her anger when her son was beaten. Moreover, in a family like theirs, no one took the lives of slaves seriously.
After dealing with the two servants, he sent the second young master Lin back to his own courtyard and found a doctor to treat him. Then Lord Lin took Madam Lin to the Kyoto Restaurant.
When they arrived at Kyoto Restaurant, Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning had almost finished their meal. Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, are you sure that Lord Lin will come?"
Xiaoman nodded; "He will definitely come. If he knew it was me, he would definitely come alone. If he didn't guess it was me, he would definitely bring his favorite concubine with him."
"After all, we just came back today, and the news is only in the palace and has not spread out yet. It depends on whether Lord Lin's little daughter cares about the family or is just concerned about her own fright."
Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman helplessly, but Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiangning with a smile on his face: "Senior Brother, I will trouble you again for the next thing."
"I'm very angry and won't speak."
Gu Xiangning was speechless and felt a little strange. Before he could express his opinion, he heard Xiaoman continue to say, "Didn't you feel useless just now?"
"Now I'll make you feel useful. You're my fiancé. I'm in trouble now, so I'll leave it to you to solve it."
After saying that, he smiled cunningly, and seeing Gu Xiangning remained silent, Gu Xiangning was helpless and nodded: "Okay, then I'll come forward this time."
"But I don't deal with women."
Xiaoman curled her lips and said, "A concubine has the right to speak? If she dares to speak, I will report it to the emperor tomorrow. Lord Lin favors his concubine and kills his wife. Then your plan will be implemented."
Gu Xiangning felt amused in his heart. The Lin family had fallen into trouble with Xiaoman. He just wondered what the person in the palace would do to Xiaoman after he recovered.
Fights between women are always a big drama. Of course, Gu Xiangning is in such a good mood because he is not worried that Xiaoman will suffer any loss.
As the two were talking, they finally heard a knock on the door: "County Lady, Lord Minister Lin is here with Madam Lin."
Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning looked at each other and immediately confirmed that this Madam Lin was definitely not the Queen's mother, but the legal wife of Lord Lin.
But he still wanted to see her, so he said, "Come in."
The shopkeeper then opened the door and brought in Minister Lin and Madam Lin. When Xiaoman looked at Madam Lin, she couldn't help but smile sneerfully.
"When did Lord Lin divorce his wife and remarry? This Lady Lin, I have never seen her before!"
When Lord Lin came in and saw Xiaoman, he opened his mouth in surprise. He obviously couldn't understand why Xiaoman, who was not in Kyoto, would appear here
"When did the county lady come back?"
Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and stopped talking, but his eyes were looking at Gu Xiangning. Gu Xiangning couldn't help but cough twice at this time.
"Master Lin, you can't see me in your eyes."
Hearing Gu Xiangning's voice, Lord Lin realized that Gu Xiangning was also beside him, and was immediately startled: "This subordinate greets Lord Gu Xiang."
These two people have been tied together since they appeared in front of the world. They are an engaged couple, and both of them are people who don't care about worldly views.
It is normal to be together at this time. Gu Xiangning sneered: "I really think Lord Lin can't see me! You don't talk to the county lady either."
"The county lady is very angry now. She will not speak until you answer her question. Let the shopkeeper give you the county lady's question."
"Your son raised this question. Who is the county lady? And when did you divorce your wife and remarry? If you don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dispel the county lady's anger."
"We are all old acquaintances, and you know the county lady's temper. If you don't explain clearly, it may be useless for anyone to plead for you."
When Lord Lin heard this, he immediately knelt down. If he really angered the county lady, her imperial concubine and daughter would be speechless.
When he sent his daughter to the palace, even if he gave up on her, I'm afraid she would have a lot of complaints against him as a father and would never speak for herself.
Thinking of this, Lord Lin looked at Xiaoman and said, "Please show some mercy, my son is young and ignorant. Please be magnanimous."
Xiaoman's face changed when he heard this, and he stood up all of a sudden: "Master Lin, are you saying that this county lady is bullying others by taking advantage of her power? Or are you saying that this county lady is bullying your son by taking advantage of her age?"
