The servant was carrying a bag.

Lin Chang'an carried Lin Wanwan in his arms and trotted in.

The official of the Court of State Ceremonial finally met them.

He was filled with anger whenever he thought of his daughter.

That was his daughter, born late in life; she was his only daughter.

He treated her with utmost care, afraid she would melt if he held her in his mouth or drop her if he held her in his hands. After a trip to the private brothel, he almost had his clothes stripped off.

He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Lin Wanwan, whom he was holding in his arms.

Yes, she is indeed cute.

It was those eyes, darting around, that sent a chill down his spine.

Lin Chang'an put Lin Wanwan on the ground.

He took the bag from the servant and said, "Your Excellency, this is a gift of fish for you."

The Prime Minister said, "No need, I have plenty of fish in my mansion."

Lin Chang'an said, "Prime Minister, we've come to deliver this fish-fragrant dish because we know you're all alone and no one is willing to offer it to you!

The prime minister almost suffered a heart attack.

Who caused him to become a lonely figure?

Now you suddenly realize he's an old man with no one to take care of him?

How dare you!

"So you are Lin Shiming?" The cold voice of the Minister of State Ceremonies rang out from above Lin Chang'an.

Lin Chang'an asked, "And who is this?"

"I am the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial. Wasn't it you who undressed my daughter in the private courtyard last time?"

"You're so young and you're not learning anything good, you're just copying your father's ways. What will you be like when you grow up?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an became excited.

"So it's the Minister of State Ceremonies. His official rank is higher than my father's."

"Yes, I can curse! I can curse!" He blinked. "Sir, please curse a few more times!"

Honglu Temple?

"My scumbag father really deserves to be cursed."

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too"—this is the principle at play.

“He went to brothels to raise fish in ponds, kept mistresses, and now he’s even eating his daughter-in-law.”

"You're right to scold me."

"He'll get his comeuppance sooner or later!"

Why does the style of the painting seem a bit off, Lord Honglu Temple?

He clearly came to argue for his daughter, and he only said a few words of abuse. How did it become that he was the one abusing his own father?

"Lin Shiming!"

"Don't interrupt me, I'm talking about you!"

Why did you take off my daughter's clothes?

Lin Chang'an laughed and said, "Look at me, don't I look like the old bachelor next door who took off your daughter's clothes?"

The official of the Court of State Ceremonial was taken aback.

Why isn't this guy afraid of him? Did he mistake him for someone else?

Prime Minister Jiang then remembered that his name was Lin Chang'an.

So he helped explain, "Lord Wan, you've mistaken me for someone else. I remember this child's name is Lin Chang'an."

"Lin Chang'an?"

Damn, did I really insult the wrong person?

He gritted his teeth, then gritted them again.

What did you just say about your father?

"My father kept a mistress."

"The next sentence."

"My father ate his daughter-in-law!"

The official from the Court of State Ceremonial asked in shock, "Tell me quickly, how was it eaten?"

"I don't know either, I heard it from my sister."

younger sister? ? ? ?

Lord Jiang and Lord Wan searched for Lin Wanwan to find out what was going on.

I found the little guy standing on the chair with his bottom sticking up, holding something in his hand, slowly moving towards the candlelight.

Prime Minister Jiang: "Lord Wan, why does that thing look so familiar?"

"Yes, it seems like I've seen it somewhere before..." the official of the Court of State Ceremonies said in confusion.

"ah--"

A scream suddenly came from inside the house.

Startled, Lin Wanwan's hand trembled, and the object in her hand caught fire.

"Ah, those are letters of friendship with Yun Ao Kingdom, my reward for promotion!"

After saying that, the official from the Court of State Ceremonial hurriedly ran to Lin Wanwan.

He snatched the letter from her hand.

But the letter was small, and the candle burned very quickly.

By the time it reached the hands of the Minister of State Ceremonies, it had already turned into a pile of black ash.

"Ahhh."

"Give me back my letter!!!"

The official of the Court of State Ceremonial held the lump of black ash, crying and calling it his precious treasure.

The prime minister was dumbfounded.

He had just finished reading it and put it on the table when these two people came over, so he didn't notice it.

This letter is about his connections.

If Lord Wan gets promoted this time, he will also benefit.

this……

"You..." The Prime Minister pointed at Lin Chang'an, unable to utter a single word.

【hey-hey. 】

Lin Wanwan didn't think she had done anything wrong at all, and kept swinging her toes around.

Lin Chang'an quickly covered her mouth.

My dear sister, things are already at a critical stage; we can't afford to add any more fuel to the fire.

He grabbed Lin Wanwan and ran away while the two weren't paying attention.

When Lord Wan saw him flee, the old man hurriedly chased after him.

"Don't run!"

"You brat, stop right there!"

Lin Chang'an was terrified and ran towards the Marquis's residence through winding and circuitous routes.

Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he took a deep breath.

"Sister, how could you burn other people's things?"

"This is a huge problem."

Lin Wanwan stuck out her tongue.

Lin Chang'an had no choice but to run to the back gate of the Marquis's residence, carry Lin Wanwan, and crawl through the dog hole back home.

Ye Lanyin smiled with satisfaction when she saw that the two of them really kept their word and came back right after delivering the package.

"Have some fruit, it's hot today, it'll help you cool down. Wanwan, have some too..."

Ye Lanyin smiled and handed the fruit on the table to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan rubbed her little hands together, preparing to take it.

"Lin Wanwan, come out here!"

Suddenly, the roar of the Marquis of Zhenbei rang out from outside.

Ye Lanyin's hand paused, stopping in mid-air.

Lin Wanwan's smile froze; no matter how she stretched out her hand, she couldn't hook it.

"Pot~"

"Mother will go see what's going on." Ye Lanyin placed the fruit on the table and then went out.
