Chapter 75 Return the Money Quickly

Just when Prince Duan was extremely disappointed and irritable, a guard came running in from outside with an arrow and a letter.

When he got closer, he knelt and saluted, "Your Highness, someone just shot an arrow into the tree in front of the gate. There was a letter on the arrow. I took it down and delivered it to you immediately."

Prince Duan was full of confusion. He reached out to take the letter and read it quickly.

It was written about the Royal Secret Guards.

The letter said that the reason why Prince Chang was able to escape the pursuit unscathed was because he was surrounded by twenty or thirty royal secret guards.

These people fought to the death to hold back the peerless master who was chasing him, allowing him to escape.

The reason why Prince Duan was seriously injured was that he was only protected by two or three royal secret guards and had weak military force, which led to his death.

He also said that if he didn't believe it, he could go to King Chang secretly to verify it.

The letter also said that although Prince Duan and Prince Chang had the same father and mother, he was not as favored as Prince Chang.

Prince Chang was the son that Emperor Wu of Qin truly cherished, and was also the best candidate for the next generation crown prince.

Although Emperor Wu of Qin had many princes, the only one he truly favored was Prince Chang.

Although this letter was clearly intended to sow discord, it still aroused Prince Duan's suspicion.

Thinking carefully, I discovered some clues from my father's attitude towards me and Prince Chang.

When there is only one good thing, it must belong to Prince Chang, and all other princes must stand aside, just like the "Longquan Sword".

The emperor usually gives priority to Prince Chang in his rewards, and only the leftovers from Prince Chang will be distributed to other princes.

Each time King Chang received a reward, the quantity was larger and the value was more valuable.

Whenever there was something good, Emperor Wu of Qin would always think of Prince Chang and send it to his palace.

Emperor Wu of Qin had a very exquisite jade chess set. Prince Duan took a fancy to it first and wanted to ask Emperor Wu of Qin for it.

But King Chang also took a fancy to her.

Emperor Wu of Qin gave priority to Prince Chang and instructed Prince Duan to be caring and humble to his brothers and set a good example as an elder brother.

Now it seems that all those instructions were nonsense!

It was just a high-sounding excuse to give the chess piece to King Chang.

Generally, when a prince reaches the age of sixteen, he will set up his own residence and move out of the palace.

However, it took more than a year for Emperor Wu of Qin to release Prince Chang.

Prince Chang's Mansion is not only located closest to the imperial palace, but is also much larger than those of other princes.

It is one-fourth larger than Prince Duan's Mansion.

Don't think too much. If you think too much, you will see loopholes and flaws everywhere.

Prince Duan's heart sank, and he felt a chill that penetrated to the bone.

The details that I had never noticed and ignored before, when I think about them now, reveal Emperor Wu of Qin's excessive preference for King Chang.

He had never expected that his father's preference for Prince Chang would reach such a high level, and that Prince Chang was surrounded by dozens of royal secret guards to protect him.

There are many more than the number of princes.

This is unbelievable.

No wonder King Chang was able to escape smoothly, while he had to go through a life-or-death experience and was lucky enough to survive.

Now not only is his right arm seriously injured, but he has also been poisoned.

There was such a big secret between my father and Prince Chang, but he was kept in the dark and treated like a fool.

Could it be that their usual father-son and brotherly love is all a lie?

Very good!

It’s really great!

He clenched his fists, anger rising in his heart.

The seeds of jealousy and resentment quietly took root, sprouted, and grew slowly in my heart...

******

Lin Pianran waited for two days, but the Lin family did not come to return the money.

On the third day, Lin Pianran finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

After breakfast, she took Huanxue and Tianzhu and walked towards the Lin family's residence in a swagger.

He ran straight towards Zhao Yurou's yard.

Who knew that the yard gate was crowded with people.

Great furniture all waiting.

Just wait and watch the show.

Lin Pianran leaned over and asked a noble lady, "Madam, what happened in there? Why is it so noisy?"

The noble lady said excitedly, "The government officials are here!"

"I heard that the Lin family lost a lot of good things again!"

"Especially in Miss Lin San's room, there are several large boxes of jewelry and silk fabrics that Prince Chang just gave her as a reward!"

"Those treasures didn't even stay at the Lin family for one night before they were all taken away in the middle of the night. What a pity!"

"The Lin family reported the incident to the authorities early this morning, and they are now searching for any suspicious leads!"

"In my opinion, it will be the same as last time, with nothing to show for it."

Lin Pianran deliberately opened her mouth in surprise, looked around, and then whispered, "Could someone be targeting the Lin family? Otherwise, why do things keep going missing?"

"Yeah! I also think that the Lin family has been particularly weird lately, and things have been happening all the time."

"All kinds of weird things keep happening. It's really strange!"

Thinking about how much she gained from a stroll last night, Lin Pianran couldn't help but smile.

Now all those treasures are lying quietly in her space!

Whether it was Prince Gong or Prince Chang, they just gave gifts to Lin Chuyan.

Send as much as possible.

In the end, Lin Pianran would accept all of them without hesitation.

hey-hey.

After saying a few more words, Lin Pianran continued to walk into the yard.

When we walked into the yard, there were fewer people.

Oh, my old acquaintance Shen Xuanzhi is also among them.

When Shen Xuanzhi saw Lin Pian, he changed his usual aloofness and indifference and came forward to greet her, "County Lady, why are you here? Is there anything?"

Lin Pianran took out the IOUs from her sleeve and handed them to Shen Xuanzhi.

He sighed softly again, "Master Lin and his men haven't paid back the money they owe me. I'm worried that things might get complicated, so I have no choice but to come and collect the debt myself!"

Hearing the music, one can understand the elegant meaning.

Shen Xuanzhi immediately knew Lin Pianran's purpose.

She's here to cause trouble, to deliberately add insult to injury.

That sounds interesting.

Then give her a helping hand!

Shen Xuanzhi turned around and ordered the yamen runner, "Quickly invite the two Lords Lin over! We have something important to discuss."

Soon, Lin Aodong and Lin Aosong were brought over.

The moment they saw Lin Pianran, a strong fire instantly erupted in their eyes.

Lin Pianran could even hear the creaking of Lin Aosong's back teeth.

The expression on his face was almost out of control and became extremely ferocious.

As soon as he saw Lin Pianran, he was like a fighting cock with its feathers standing on end.

He cursed with a mocking look on his face, "You evil creature, since you have no relationship with the Lin family anymore, why are you still coming to the Lin family?"

"Is it impossible to survive outside?"

"You came back to beg for our forgiveness?"

"But don't be so delusional."

"We will never forgive you!"

"I won't be so kind as to take you in anymore!"

"An ungrateful person like you deserves a miserable end!"

Wow, you feel pretty good about yourself!

Do you really think the Lin family is your home of happiness?

She doesn't want it!

Lin Pianran chuckled softly, "I am now the county lady. In terms of status, I am higher than you. When you see me, you must bow and greet me."

"Speak kindly and don't lose your manners!"

"Okay! Are you here in our Lin family to show off your power as a county lady? You are so shameful!" Lin Aosong replied angrily.

Shen Xuanzhi quickly spoke up to stop him, "Master Lin, etiquette cannot be abolished. I have to pay my respects to the county lady when I see her."

These words made the two adults of the Lin family feel very embarrassed.

In the end, he had no choice but to bow to Lin Pianran.

Lin Pianran felt extremely happy that she could humiliate Lin Aodong and Lin Aosong a little.

"Also, this county lady finally stepped out of the Lin family's hellhole and spent two days of comfortable and good times. Why would she turn back?"

"Even if I starve to death outside, I will never have anything to do with the Lin family again!"

"I am a person of integrity, so please stop imagining things!"

His words were sonorous and powerful, and his impact was felt.

Lin Aosong was speechless and unable to resist, his face looked extremely bad.
