son, don't mess around

Sun family.

"Yan'er hasn't been found yet?!"

The atmosphere in the front hall was depressing.

Sun Qiao frowned and looked at the servants in the mansion.

The servant reported: "I have sent people out to look for the young lady. She disappeared last night and has not returned yet. The people we sent out have not found her."

"Even the guards following the young lady are nowhere to be seen."

Upon hearing the news, Sun Qiao frowned even deeper, with a bad feeling in his heart.

My little sister is missing!
My younger sister has disappeared since the poetry meeting in Chujiang City last night. News also came from the Jiang family that my younger sister did not return to the Jiang family, so where could she have gone?

Thinking back to what happened last night, Sun Qiao felt a stronger sense of foreboding.

Thinking of this, Sun Qiao suddenly stood up and went to the backyard.

"Father."

Sun Qiao found Mr. Sun and reported the news.

"Yan'er hasn't been found yet?"

Old Master Sun, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, looked at Sun Qiao, who had a gloomy face, and said calmly: "What do you think?"

"I guess something might have happened to Yan'er..."

Sun Qiao said in a deep voice: "When Yan'er left yesterday, she also took away many guards from the mansion, as well as her personal maid... It's obvious that she might have done something."

At this point, Sun Qiao paused, his heart sinking: "Last night, I heard that something happened at the poetry gathering... The prince of Lin beat Xu Xiuzhu, the son of the Xu family, in public, and crippled Xu Xiuzhu's legs on the spot. His methods were extremely cruel!"

A trace of fear flashed across Grandpa Sun's eyes: "This boy is really ruthless!"

"This is unusual!"

Sun Qiao said in a deep voice: "Xu Xiuzhu was treated like this. Xu Yan rushed to the Jiang family last night, wanting to ask for an explanation from the Jiang family, but..."

"I heard that Xu Yan left the Jiang family today in disgrace, with a very ugly look on his face. At the same time, there is still no sign of Xu Xiuzhu..."

"I'm afraid something big has happened!"

"..."

Any disturbance in Chujiang City cannot escape the shadow of the aristocratic family.

Such a big event last night would naturally attract everyone's attention. However, the Xu family did not react at all to the humiliating treatment of their only son Xu Xiuzhu, which undoubtedly made people alert.

Where did Prince Lin come from?
Could it make the Xu family so fearful?

What's going on here?
Could it be... that their Sun family is also involved?
Old Master Sun's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he was silent for a long time. He had already experienced what Prince Lin had to offer yesterday.

This boy is very thoughtful, he acts without regard for the consequences, and he is coming with great force...

"I'm afraid he has big plans."

Old Master Sun said in a low voice: "His appetite is not just for the small Chujiang City."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Qiao's pupils shrank: "Father, what you mean is..."

"Hurry up and find Yan'er. We can't let her get into trouble or leave any room for criticism."

Sun Changtian's eyes were gloomy, and he also had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of a servant coming from the courtyard outside the door.

"Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see you. He said he was sent by Prince Lin!"

When these words were spoken, Grandpa Sun and Sun Qiao were both shocked. They looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

……

On the other side, after temporarily dealing with the Xu family’s affairs, Lin Jiangnian returned to the Jiang family.

Xu Xiuzhu's behavior this time has already touched Lin Jiangnian's bottom line. No matter what, he will not let Xu Xiuzhu live anymore.

This man must die!
Even if the Xu family insisted on protecting him, Lin Jiangnian would not give him any chance to survive.

However, Lin Jiangnian would not let him die too easily. This man had committed such a heinous act, and letting him die directly would be too easy for him.

As for the Xu family, Lin Jiangnian had no intention of letting them go.

This time he came to Jiangnan, originally for these noble families. Now the matter of the Xu family just gave Lin Jiangnian the opportunity to make trouble.

If Xu Yan is willing to cooperate, Lin Jiangnian can give them a way out. If the Xu family is unwilling, Lin Jiangnian naturally doesn't mind using the Xu family as a scapegoat.

The Xu family is a family of some size in Chujiang City, and is considered quite powerful. Taking advantage of the Xu family is a good choice for Lin Jiangnian. On the other hand, the news has been spread, and the next step is to wait for the situation to continue to develop.

Lin Jiangnian, on the other hand, will continue to deal with other people involved in this matter.

The mastermind behind this incident is Sun Yan, and Jiang Yuxiang’s good friend Yu Yunyao.

However, Lin Jiangnian did not act rashly, and Sun Yan could not move lightly for the time being. After all, she was still Jiang Zheng's wife in name, the eldest lady of the Jiang family.

Whether for the sake of the old man or his uncle, although Lin Jiangnian wanted to kill her very much, he couldn't do it easily.

This matter needs to be carefully considered.

As for Yu Yunyao, she was a good friend of Jiang Yuxiang, but she betrayed her good sister, so she deserved to die.

But how to deal with her still has to be decided by my aunt.

After returning to the Jiang Mansion, Lin Jiangnian had to face a realistic problem...how to face his aunt?
What is meant to come will eventually come.

"Your Highness."

In the backyard, Xiao Zhu, who was sitting on the steps in a daze, saw Lin Jiangnian and stood up excitedly and walked forward quickly.

"Your Highness, where did you go last night? Xiaozhu was very worried about you!"

Lin Jiang stroked Xiao Zhu's head tenderly: "I went out to do something and just came back."

"Oh."

Xiao Zhu nodded as if he understood, and was about to say something, but he saw Xiao Zhu's eyes were a little complicated. She looked at him cautiously, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"what happened?"

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Zhu wanted to say something but didn't say it.

At this time, a faint voice came: "Hey, Shede is back?!"

Turning back, he saw Xu Lan standing under the eaves, with his arms folded across his chest, his face full of anger, looking at him with resentment: "You haven't come back all night, Your Highness should have had a wonderful night last night, right?"

Since she met Xu Lan, this girl has never called Lin Jiangnian "Your Highness" but always addressed him by his name.

Today, he called out "Your Highness" for the first time, but his tone was full of yin and yang.

"What's your expression?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? I didn't do that. It's all over the place. Do you still want to keep it secret?"

"What's spreading outside?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned. Has it spread?
Could it be about what happened between him and his aunt last night?
That’s not right. Not many people know about this.

Seeing Lin Jiangnian pretending to be stupid, Xu Lan couldn't help but sneer and walked directly to Lin Jiangnian: "Are you still pretending? What did you do last night? Don't you know what happened?"

"I didn't do anything last night?"

Seeing Xu Lan's aggressive attitude, Lin Jiangnian began to feel a little uneasy.

Could it be that something really happened?
How come he doesn’t know what’s going on outside?
"Still pretending!"

Xu Lan sneered, his face full of contempt.

At this time, Xiao Zhu tugged at the corner of Lin Jiangnian's clothes, and explained with a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, it's said outside that you and Aunt Xiang were... intimate yesterday, pulling and tugging, did you..."

Xiao Zhu's eyes were complicated, nervous and uneasy.

Your Highness, could it be that you are really with Aunt Xiang...

After listening to Xiao Zhu's gentle explanation, Lin Jiangnian finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he was discovered pretending to be his aunt on the deck of the cabin yesterday!
Lin Jiangnian almost forgot that he had beaten Xu Xiuzhu in public last night, which had exposed his identity. He could not hide his identity as the prince of Lin, and soon someone recognized him as the man brought by Jiang Yuxiang.

For a moment, many people thought of the close relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang on the deck. The close pull between the two naturally aroused the suspicion of many people.

As rumors spread, the relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang naturally became more and more outrageous.

There were rumors that Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang were hugging each other on the deck, and as the rumor spread, it became that the two of them were kissing passionately on the deck, regardless of worldly opinions...

Gossip has been the easiest to spread since ancient times, especially gossip involving ethics, which is more likely to attract discussion from others.

Never underestimate everyone’s enthusiasm for eating melons at any time!
Lin Jiangnian was busy cleaning up the Xu family today and did not pay attention to the news circulating outside. Naturally, he did not know that the news was already spreading outside.

There are countless versions of the story about the relationship between him and Jiang Yuxiang.

Why not ignore worldly views and pursue true love firmly!

What do you mean the Prince of Lin is worse than a beast? He is indeed a perverted sex maniac who doesn't even let his elders go...

Various versions of the rumor circulated, becoming more and more outrageous.

Lin Jiangnian finally understood why Xu Lan's eyes had become so contemptuous. It turned out to be a complete misunderstanding.

...Of course, it can’t be said to be a misunderstanding.

After all, to some extent... the rumors from outside are actually not wrong.

In fact, it is more exciting than what they have heard.

"Ugh!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "This matter is a long story, it's not what you think."

Then, Lin Jiangnian told the girls the whole story.

About how he accompanied his aunt to a poetry reading last night and pretended to be someone else to shock Xu Xiuzhu, but his identity was exposed, which led to all kinds of rumors.

After listening to Lin Jiangnian's explanation, Xiao Zhu suddenly understood and finally put down the worry that had been hanging in her heart.

"So that's how it is! I was so scared. I thought..."

Xiao Zhu patted her chest, which had grown slightly, and felt relieved. She had been worried all night since she heard the news last night, and she didn't dare to think about how His Highness would explain to Sister Zhiyuan.

It turns out it was just pretend?

Then she would be relieved!

Although Xu Lan still felt that something was wrong, her brain obviously couldn't think of so many details. After listening to Lin Jiangnian's explanation, she only cared about whether Lin Jiangnian was lying.

However, seeing that Lin Jiangnian looked calm and showed no sign of lying, he believed it.

In fact, she herself didn't quite believe that Lin Jiangnian would attack Aunt Xiang. After all, Aunt Xiang was his... Even if this guy was a beast or not a human being, he wouldn't extend his evil claws to the elders around him, right?

"So what happened last night? Why did Aunt Xiang come back only today? I heard something happened?"

Xu Lan asked again.

"This is a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly when I have time."

After fooling Xu Lan, Lin Jiangnian found an excuse to leave and came to his aunt's courtyard.

When I walked into the courtyard, it was quiet.

Very quiet.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly became very nervous and felt a little uneasy.

Many memories of last night also emerged in his mind. Although under the effect of Liu Su's medicine, he could not remember clearly what happened last night, and only had some vague memories.

However, those blurry fragments still left a deep impression on Lin Jiangnian. The more he thought about it, the less he dared to think about it.

He took a deep breath, walked under the eaves, and just approached the door.

Then she heard the sound of the door opening, and then Liu Su in a red dress appeared at the door, looking at her with a smile.

"Where's my aunt?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

"She just went to bed. She is weak and needs more rest."

Lin Jiangnian nodded with relief.

"You want to see her?"

Liu Su looked playful.

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"She probably doesn't want to see you."

Liu Su said.

"We have to meet each other eventually."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I can't keep running away."

"It's not you who's running away now, it's her."

Liu Su shook her head lightly: "If you meet her now, it will only mess up the relationship."

"Then we can't disappear forever, can we?"

"She said she would find a way to solve it."

Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "What method?"

"do not know."

Liu Su looked at Lin Jiangnian, smiling: "However, I guess it's probably one of those... Either they will never have anything to do with you again, or they will find a deserted place and run away secretly to start a new life..."

"Anyway, I guess I don't want to see you anymore in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian felt a little depressed. This was not the situation he wanted to see.

"What, you can't bear to leave?"

Liu Su looked at him amusemently.

Lin Jiangnian said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to me after all!"

"so what?"

Liu Su smiled and said, "How are you going to solve this? Marry her?"

She looked nonchalant, but Lin Jiangnian looked calm. He nodded and said, "If...she agrees, I will marry her."

The calm tone stunned Liu Su, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

She stared at her: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Why be afraid?"

"Your identity? Her identity... Do you really dare?"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "There is nothing in this world that I dare not do. These are not a problem, including you."

Liu Su didn't expect that Lin Jiangnian would suddenly drag her into this, and she was a little dazed for a moment.

After a while, she sneered, "Aren't you afraid that Zhiyuan will be angry? Aren't you afraid that your eldest princess will be angry? And you are even more afraid of Lin Hengzhong's opposition? Old Master Jiang's opposition? And the gossips of the world? The abuses that pierce your spine?!"

Liu Su wanted to say something to make him give up, but when she saw Lin Jiangnian's determined eyes, she suddenly fell silent again.

This guy, although he is a bit of a jerk, but once he decides on something, he will do it no matter what.

He is often more stubborn than anyone else!

It was like this in the capital, and it was also like this when they wanted to kill the leader before.

Liu Su was silent.

After a while, he took a deep breath, sneered again, and said sarcastically: "Perhaps you are not afraid?"

"But aren't you afraid of her, too?"
