Chapter 802: Rumors 4 (1)
When Lin Yuzan heard his daughter's neat answer, a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes. Without any further delay, he immediately asked the servants to move the golden bed in and repeatedly reminded them not to break it.
The onlookers watched the child being carried into the room on the golden bed, then lost interest in watching the fun and dispersed. A few of the more honest people, before leaving, cast contemptuous glances at the old man who had "tricked" the child.
After a while, only Lin Yuzan and Jingzhao Yin and his entourage were left at the Lin family's gate.
Zhang Bufan looked at Lin Yuzan speechlessly, opened his mouth, and finally said: "Why didn't Mr. Lin tidy up when he came out?"
Lin Yuzan's face was a bit embarrassed as he replied, "Master Zhang, to be honest, I sat in the courtyard last night, thinking all night, and I really didn't feel like cleaning up. When I heard you were coming this morning, I wanted to wash and change clothes, but I realized I forgot to buy any clothes."
Zhang Bufan understood what he said and patted the old man's shoulder sympathetically. "Although it's common for a man to rely on his wife's family to be laughed at, when you enter the officialdom in the future, your wife's family will also rely on you. Don't hold a grudge. It's not shameful to spend your wife's money now. Just support her in the future."
Lin Yuzan: ..., he has never spent Wan Niang's money!
The old man couldn't argue now, so he could only sigh and reply, "Master Zhang, I naturally understand, but my Lin family's sky is supported by the emperor."
Zhang Bufan's heart trembled, and he quickly agreed, "Of course. Your Majesty is not only the heaven of Mr. Lin, but also the heaven of all the people in the world!"
Lin Yuzan smiled inwardly and moved aside to make a gesture of invitation: "Master Zhang, since you are here today, I believe you already know where the assassin came from last night. Let's go inside and talk in detail."
Zhang Bufan: ..., he didn't even have time to check!
The old man looked at the enthusiastic old man and was afraid of losing face, so he had to bite the bullet and follow him in.
The Lin family's entrance was once again peaceful, and at the corner of the street, a simple carriage left at this moment, and a man's voice slowly rang out from inside.
"Master, this golden bed was made by our master himself. Lin Yuzan lied in public and is not afraid of being exposed."
Another person scoffed coldly, "When has Lin Yuzan ever lied? Didn't he just say this bed was made of pure gold? One is true, the other is false. If it were you, which one would you believe?"
Hearing this, the man was slightly stunned. After careful consideration, he replied, "This man is just a weak scholar with no other source of income. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would find it hard to believe that Lin Yuzan could come up with so much gold."
The man sitting across from him said calmly, "When the truth is unclear, people will naturally choose the answer they find easier to accept. If anyone comes to the pavilion to inquire, just tell them the wages truthfully, and there's no need to elaborate on the rest."
"Yes."
The cold wind blew, gently lifting a corner of the car curtain, revealing a slightly immature boy's face.
At this moment, another carriage passed by them.
Yu Ke frowned, watching the young man's carriage gradually go away, muttering to himself: "Isn't this the banker I met during the Dragon Boat Festival? Why is he here?"
But she soon put this person out of her mind. She looked up at the magnificent Lin family mansion, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she walked forward with her maid to the doorman and said, "My daughter Yu Ke has come to give a housewarming gift. Please let the uncle pass on the message."
As she spoke, she handed a silver note to the doorman without leaving any trace.
The concierge couldn't help but smile warmly when he saw such a generous person. He said respectfully, "Miss Yu, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."
After saying this, he quickly disappeared through the door.
At this moment, Lin Yuzan was talking with Zhang Bufan in the hall. They were both surprised to hear that the little girl came to give a housewarming gift.
Zhang Bufan quickly winked at his subordinates, then said to the old man, "Come to think of it, my Nichang has also heard the news, and she must be on her way here."
Lin Yuzan's face was touched, yet a hint of shame appeared. "I didn't expect Qingjie'er's classmate to be so loyal and righteous, not even shying away from the fact that my family had just been hunted by our enemies. It's just that we moved so hastily that we didn't plan a housewarming party. I'm afraid we'll be inadequate in our hospitality and be disrespectful!"
"What's the big deal? Since it's classmates congratulating each other, let Princess Le'an take her classmates to Chunmanlou for a meal. When Nishang comes over later, I will let her lead the way, and the waiter there will arrange a good private room for Princess Le'an." Seeing the old man's embarrassment, Zhang Bufan made a suggestion at the right time.
The old man thanked him gratefully.
The two of them immediately began to exchange pleasantries and chat about trivial matters.
Little Yining, who was eavesdropping at the back of the hall, curled her lips, turned around, and labeled her father a hypocrite.
"Princess, it's time to go back. The master has already asked someone to bring Miss Yu directly to you." Qiu Yi reminded in a low voice.
Little Yining raised his eyes, looked at her aggrievedly, and said reluctantly, "I haven't told Dad yet, but Mom has taken my golden bed away!"
Just now, she was carried into the yard on the golden bed when her mother stopped her and forcibly sent the bed into the warehouse.
Her mother even cursed her father in the air and threatened to confiscate all her golden fingers if she made any trouble.
Xiao Yining: o(╥﹏╥)o, her dream of a golden bed is over again!
Dreaming for a lifetime, realizing it for a few seconds, this world doesn’t wait!
"Princess, the lady is doing this for your own good. She's afraid that the golden bed will be too cold and the chill will invade your body, making you feel unwell." Qiu Yi also advised in a low voice. It was obvious that her mood was fluctuating greatly because of the golden bed.
Little Yining was about to cry, "I'm just touching it, I'm not going to sleep with it!"
After saying that, the two little ones hung their heads, held hands, and left in frustration.
Lin Yuzan didn't realize that he had inadvertently made his wife angry again. He and Zhang Bufan had already returned to the topic and were talking about the death of last night.
"Mr. Lin, I counted the bodies of those men in black last night. There are over three hundred bodies, not counting those who escaped. The people behind this are powerful and have gone to such great lengths to take your life. I personally believe that they are coming for Your Majesty."
Lin Yuzan raised his eyebrows slightly, feigning confusion as he looked at the whimsical old man. "Master Zhang, have you figured out who those men in black are responsible for?"
Zhang Bufan glanced at him unhappily, "Mr. Lin, do you really think I'm the living Di Renjie, that I can solve cases with lightning speed? These men in black are all assassins, how could they have any characteristics?"
Lin Yuzan listened to a few more nonsense, sighed helplessly, and continued acting.
At this time, Zhang Bufan spoke again, his tone full of sighs: "Your Majesty has suffered a lot! For many years, he didn't even want to meet with his clan members. In the past two years, he finally had close relatives from his uncle's family, and they were all helpful people, but they were wiped out by villains, leaving him alone again. Alas..."
An imperceptible trace of impatience flashed across Lin Yuzan's eyes, and he complained inwardly: How did this Lord Zhang become the Jingzhao Yin? He even got the victim wrong!
The old man was angry and ordered quickly: "Come, go to the Jiahe Princess's Mansion and invite my uncle over."
Zhang Bufan glanced at him approvingly: "Mr. Lin is indeed very insightful. He knew that I still needed to go to the Jiahe Princess's Mansion, so he invited people over."
Lin Yuzan: ..., he just wanted to share the hardship!
