Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Gan Yuwan couldn't help but ask, "Brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing in our house...?"

When Yun Huai'an saw him return, he immediately put on the "I'm doing this for your own good" face that he had prepared beforehand.

With a stern face, he said, "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for you!"

"It's already difficult enough for your family to support five girls, and now you also have to support your fourth brother's daughter, Ziyan. I see that your burden is too heavy, so I want to help you. Let Ziyan pack her things and come with us in a bit."

Yun Huaikang was so angry at his shamelessness that he laughed.

When he didn't pick up Ziyan, his good older brother never said a word.

I just picked Ziyan up last night, and they came to snatch him away first thing this morning. They're faster than dogs that smell shit.

However, Yun Huaikang is not someone to be trifled with.

I was already fuming with nowhere to vent, and since my older brother was shameless enough to keep coming after me, I figured I might as well be ruthless.

"Big brother—" Yun Huaikang said, enunciating each word clearly.

"I'm still calling you 'elder brother' now only for the sake of our parents. From now on, I will never call you 'elder brother' again."

He pointed to the door, his voice as hard as steel.

"Get out of our house now, right now, immediately!"

Yun Huai'an was stunned. He never expected that his second brother, who was usually easy to talk to, would suddenly turn on him.

His face immediately darkened: "Second brother, what are you saying? You're really going too far..."

Yun Huaikang didn't waste any words with him. He bent down, grabbed a carrying pole from the wall, swung it around, and smashed it down!

Yun Huai'an's pupils contracted sharply as he tried to dodge, but before he could turn around, the carrying pole had already fallen, landing solidly on his back with a dull thud!

Yun Huai'an was knocked to the ground, his mouth full of dust, and he grimaced in pain.

Where is the imposing demeanor of the "eldest son in the family" from just now?

Liang Dahua screamed in terror, her usual gentleness completely overwhelmed, and cried out, "Murder! Murder! Yun Lao Er has murdered someone..."

Yun Huaikang swung the carrying pole and smashed it at Liang Dahua again.

Liang Dahua also fell directly to the ground, her face covered in dirt.

Yun Linlin immediately covered her head and squatted on the ground, trembling with fear.

Yun Huaikang said coldly, "Get out of here right now! If you dare to come again, I'll break your legs with a carrying pole!"

Yun Huai'an wanted to curse again, but when he saw the carrying pole in his hand, he could only hold back. He didn't even care about Liang Dahua and Yun Linlin anymore, and got up and ran outside.

Yun Linlin had no choice but to help her mother and Liang Dahua and quickly run out as well.

Yun Pianpian and her younger sisters stood aside, their eyes wide with shock. They had never seen their father so fierce before!

After all the people they disliked were kicked out, the door slammed shut.

Yun Pianpian was curious why her parents were so angry, so she asked them and learned what had happened that morning.

Her face turned red; she was angry.

Parents work hard to make and sell pastries, only to have half of their earnings taken away. Anyone would be furious in that situation.

"This can't go on," Zhen Linqing said, frowning. "We should find a shop in the county town; that would be more secure."

He took a wooden plaque from his pocket and handed it to Yun Huaikang.

"Uncle, take this to Baoqing Restaurant in the county town and find Manager Xue. Just tell him I'll be waiting for him here."

Yun Huaikang took the sign and was stunned for a moment. Gan Yuwan slapped him, and he finally came to his senses with a "Hey!" He then put the sign away and ran outside.

He knew his time had come.

At noon, the main hall of Baoqing Tower in the county town was bustling with noise and the clinking of glasses.

Manager Xue Liang was so engrossed in using the abacus that his fingers were practically smoking, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead one after another.

A farmer dressed in coarse cloth stood in front of him and said, "Shopkeeper, I need to talk to you."

Xue Liang didn't even look up: "Can't you see I'm busy? We can talk later!"

The farmer neither left nor got angry, but handed him a wooden sign right under his nose.

Xue Liang glanced at it, and the abacus in his hand fell to the ground under the counter with a "clatter".

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, scurried out from behind the counter, bent down and approached Yun Huaikang, asking politely in a low voice.

"Young master...is he at your residence?"

Yun Huaikang nodded: "He wants you to come with me."

Xue Liang dared not utter a single word of dissent. He shouted to the shop assistant, "Keep an eye on the shop," and quickly hitched up a horse-drawn carriage with a sidecar, then followed Yun Huaikang's oxcart away. His actions were even more efficient than if he had received an imperial edict.

Half an hour later, Xue Liang rushed into the Yun family's courtyard.

He knelt down with a thud as soon as he entered the door.

"Your Highness! I've finally found you! Where have you been all this time? You stayed at my inn one minute and then disappeared the next! I was terrified! If anything had happened to you while you were here, the Prince and Princess would have chopped me up and fed me to the dogs!"

Although Gan Yuwan and Yun Huaikang had known for a long time that Zhen Linqing was a prince.

But seeing that he was down-to-earth, one would think that the prince was just an ordinary person.

But in this situation, the manager of Baoqinglou, a big establishment they usually can't even talk to, is kneeling down without warning.

His head was almost hitting the crack in the floor tiles, yet he kept calling out "Your Highness" and "Your Highness's Consort." This was no ordinary person.

The whole family's knees buckled, and they all knelt down.

In their minds, a county magistrate was a very high-ranking official, while princes and nobles were things that only existed in plays.

Zhen Linqing reacted quickly and reached out to support them.

He even secretly and carefully tugged at Yun Pianpian's hand.

Yun Pianpian really wanted to kick him, but she held back in frustration.

Seeing her huffy little face, Zhen Linqing smiled knowingly, then turned to Xue Liang and said, "You should get up too."

Xue Liang quickly got up from the ground and bent down to stand next to Zhen Linqing.

"Your Highness, did you summon me here because we're about to return? I've already prepared the carriage; we can leave at any time!"

Zhen Linqing held out his hand: "Give me five hundred taels of silver first."

Without saying a word, Xue Liang took out a five-hundred-tael silver note from his pocket and respectfully presented it to him with both hands.

Zhen Linqing took it and immediately stuffed it into Yun Huaikang's hand.

"Uncle, this is the capital. Go to the county town, rent a shop, and open a pastry shop. Xue Liang will take care of the paperwork for you."

Yun Huaikang stared down at the five-hundred-tael silver note in his hand, his ears ringing, his mind blank. Five hundred taels! He had lived half his life and had never even seen what fifty taels of silver looked like. This felt like a dream.

Gan Yuwan was also a little confused. She nudged her husband, and Yun Huaikang suddenly came to his senses, bowed, and stammered, "Thank you... thank you... for your generous gift, Your Highness!"

Zhen Linqing glanced back at Yun Pianpian. But the girl kept her head down, not even lifting her eyelids, and didn't look at him at all.

He felt a dull ache in his heart, like he was holding a damp piece of cotton in his hand. But there was no point in saying anything now.

Xue Liang reached out to help him, and the two boarded the carriage. The wheels rolled on, and they soon disappeared at the end of the village road.

Once the courtyard gate closed, Yun Huaikang and the others looked at each other in silence for a full three seconds.

Then—"Wow!!!"

"We're rich now..."
