"Brother, are you out of your mind? We're doing a business that could cost us our lives. If it succeeds, fine, but if it fails, we're doomed. Do you think these kids and their wives will be spared by this damned emperor? How can you be so confused? Third brother, you're smart, tell me, am I right?"

Bai Mu frowned, and after a while, he finally spoke: "Brother, I have been investigating Lin Zixing these past few days and found that the whereabouts of this sixth young master of the Lin family are quite interesting."

"Why are you investigating Lin Zixing? We're talking about your sister-in-law right now."

Bai Mu remained unmoved. "He is away from home most of the year and doesn't spend much time in the capital. This time, we took down the Orchid Gate in Anzhou Prefecture, and he caught and killed a few small fry who had escaped."

This surprised Lao Liu. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

They deliberately let those who slipped through the net go, in order to see what kind of power was behind the Orchid Gate.

What does it mean that Lin Zixing silenced them?

Looking at Jiang Yong'an holding a wine glass, Bai Mu continued, "This sixth young master Lin is quite an interesting person. By the way, the third young master of the Lin family also returned to the capital earlier. I heard that he has recently gained the emperor's favor."

"That's Consort Lin's brother. When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit from it."

Bai Mu smiled coolly, "Young Master Lin and our favored Consort Lin are not exactly siblings; I've heard they even have some grudges."

The sixth prince had never been interested in such palace secrets.

"However, it's not wrong to say that even the chickens and dogs rise to heaven. The wife of the third young master Lin, who is also your little niece, has been frequently going to the palace to entertain Consort Lin recently, and is quite favored."

The sixth brother couldn't sit still any longer. "Has the Emperor found out about my eldest brother's identity?"
