Chapter 85 takes an unexpected turn, leaving everyone stunned!

No matter how he tried to probe, Lord Su Mu's mouth was as tight as a clam shell, and he couldn't get any information out of him.

He was extremely anxious. He couldn't believe that Lin Luoxi had offended any important figures. She was just a bit hot-tempered and protective of her own. In fact, he and the clan elders liked Lin Luoxi's personality very much.

Seeing that Lin Dayou's courtyard gate was closed, Su Mu's people didn't even need to knock on the door. They stepped forward first and called Lin Dayou to open it.

Old Man Lin and Lin Daguang, who were following in the crowd, naturally saw Su Mu, the imposing official among the constables.

His desire for Lin Dayou's entire family to suffer misfortune was palpable.

Their laughter was eerie, sending chills down the spines of the villagers who had come to watch the spectacle, who quickly distanced themselves from the two perverts.

"Hey, I'm here, I'm here..." Lin Dayou, who was helping Lin Wentao get out of bed at home, quickly responded when he heard Lin Zhousheng's words.

Her movements were incredibly gentle; after helping Lin Wentao to sit down, she jogged over to open the door.

As soon as the courtyard gate opened, they were stunned to see Lin Zhousheng and the armed constables behind him. At the same time, they nervously swallowed hard.

"Dayou..." When Lin Zhousheng saw Lin Dayou open the door, a smile that was more like a grimace appeared on his face. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Not to mention the indescribable complexity in Lin Zhousheng's heart, the villagers who had followed him all fell silent the moment they saw Lin Dayou open the door.

They envied and were jealous of Lin Dayou's gradual recovery thanks to Lin Luoxi.

However, they only operated within this small area and had never met any officials. The moment they saw Lin Dayou open the door, they began to worry about Lin Luoxi.

They were not only worried that Lin Luoxi might really get into trouble, but also worried that Lin Luoxi's arrest would affect the future marriage prospects of the young men and women in Wutong Village.

As everyone's expressions varied and thousands of thoughts flashed through their minds, Su Mu's actions left them speechless.

"This must be Lin Luoxi's father. He exudes righteousness, and you can tell at a glance that he is the kind of father who can raise such outstanding children."

Lin Zhousheng stood in front of him, not moving for a long time. Su Mu got anxious and went around Lin Zhousheng to stand in front of Lin Dayou.

Seeing that Lin Dayou looked about 80% like the boy from yesterday, one could tell that the person in front of him must be Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian's father.

Before Lin Dayou could react, Su Mu began praising him profusely.

When Lin Dayou saw the smile on Lin Zhousheng's face that was more like a grimace, and saw the two rows of officials behind Lin Zhousheng, his heart sank to the bottom, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn when Su Mu suddenly pulled this stunt, leaving the usually honest and law-abiding Lin Dayou momentarily speechless.

"Lord Su, what are you doing here?" Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian, and Xie Hanchuan rushed over and finally arrived.

"Miss Lin, Brother Lin, Brother Xie, you three are back from work so early today?" Su Mu saw that Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian had messy hair and their clothes were torn in several places.

Remembering that Yan Shaoqun said the tiger was killed by these three, he looked at Lin Luoxi and the other two boys and girls with admiration and respect.

"Hmm! Lord Su, Master, Uncle Village Chief, please come in." She first glanced at the villagers gathered around her door, then saw Lord Su and Lin Zhousheng standing at her door. Her father was standing at the door, not knowing whether to invite them in, and stood there dumbfounded.

He frowned, quickly stepped forward to greet them, and then invited Lord Su and Lin Zhousheng to his home.

Su Mu, along with his advisor and several servants carrying things, entered the courtyard together, while the other constables automatically stood at the entrance of Lin Luoxi's courtyard.

The villagers who had followed along to see what was going on were all dumbfounded when they saw Lin Luoxi and Lord Su's conversation.

Who said Lin Luoxi had committed a crime? Who said these officials were there to arrest Lin Luoxi? Judging from how familiar Lin Luoxi and Lord Su are, it's completely different from the rumors.

Those who came to gloat and watch the spectacle were inevitably disappointed when they saw that the officials hadn't actually come to arrest anyone.

But seeing how familiar Lin Luoxi was with Lord Su, they wanted to know how Lin Luoxi got to know Lord Su.

Even though there were constables guarding Lin Luoxi's house, they were unwilling to leave and all stood at a distance, trying to figure out what was going on.

The villagers who liked Lin Luoxi's personality and were worried that something might really happen to her breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the officials hadn't come to arrest her.

However, they were also very curious about how Lin Luoluoxi had gotten in touch with Lord Su, so they didn't leave. They all gathered in twos and threes, gossiping and waiting.

The most conspicuous were Lin Daguang and Old Man Lin, who originally wanted to see Lin Luoxi's unfortunate state after being arrested by the officials.

Unexpectedly, they witnessed Lin Luoxi getting to know the man called "Master," and the man praising Lin Dayou, which infuriated the father and son to the point of rage, making them want to grind their teeth to dust.

"What tricks did that little beast use to make even that Lord Su speak to her so politely?" Old Man Lin squinted, trying to see something through the courtyard gate.

"What other relationship could it be? That little bitch has probably hooked up with someone..."

Lin Daguang also saw Lin Luoxi and Lord Su Mu walking into the Lin family courtyard, chatting and laughing. Unable to get his wish, he couldn't help but smear Lin Luoxi.

"Clang!" The sound of a sword being drawn rang out beside Lin Daguang, the sound of metal clashing together interrupting Lin Daguang's unfinished words.

"How dare you slander our master? How many heads do you have?" A constable with a very serious expression drew his broadsword and coldly shouted when he heard Lin Daguang spouting nonsense.

No matter how arrogant he was, he only dared to run rampant in the small village of Wutong. Lin Daguang had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened by the gleaming knife on his shoulder that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground without any backbone.

Adding to the turmoil was the righteous-looking constable who glared at him coldly, making him tremble with fear and beg for mercy repeatedly.

"Officer, officer, spare my life! I had a foul mouth, please spare my life..." He knelt and begged, begging the constable to take away the gleaming broadsword on his shoulder.

"Hmph, if you don't have the guts, don't spread rumors. Be careful or I'll cut your tongue out." The righteous-looking constable, seeing Lin Daguang's spineless appearance, first warned him before taking away his sword.

He turned around and returned to Lin Luoxi's doorstep, where he joined his fellow constables in upholding their duties.

The villagers naturally saw what Lin Daguang was doing. Seeing that Lin Daguang had offended the officials, they were afraid of being implicated, so they all spontaneously stayed away from the father and son.
