Chapter 20

[…So, Lin Caoer just changed her grandparents like this? ]

777 watched the host say these words. The captain of the guards sent by the host's grandfather pondered for a while and went directly to ask the housekeeper beside the original body whether Mother Lin wanted to recognize a son. Mother Lin thought for a while and nodded.

Her idea was simple. She couldn't have children, and this farmer's family seemed easy to control. She didn't really plan to raise him as a son, so she just thought of him as hiring a long-term worker to take care of them in their old age.

The old man Lin on the side hadn't reacted yet. After Lin's mother introduced that her family was now a good citizen and had some property, Lin Cao'er nodded directly.

Boss Lin and Li Meihua looked at Old Lady Lin in a daze - they were immediately frightened by the murderous looks of Old Lady Lin and Old Man Lin, and subconsciously nodded in agreement to this absurd thing.

An hour later, Steward Lin, who had rushed over from the city, nodded immediately after seeing Boss Lin, Li Meihua, and Lin Cao'er who was the focus of the prince's attention.

So they went straight into the Lin family ancestral hall, and the eldest brother Lin's family was adopted out.

It was exactly noon when the host and his companions returned to the city.

They didn't even miss lunch.

Lin Cao'er was in a trance when she got on the carriage.

It’s not that Old Man Lin’s family didn’t plan to resist, but first of all, those officials had knives in their hands, and secondly, the noble family didn’t look easy to mess with.

Finally, Lin Caoer generously gave out the recipe for Jianbing Guozi.

No one in the clan believed that Old Man Lin's family could give them the fifteen taels of silver every month, and what they could eat was the most substantial.

As for the old man Lin’s family’s throwing tantrums.

Tsk, they don’t have the ability to keep their son, so you can’t blame them.

If the clan generously lets the person go, you may be able to make a good impression in front of an important person and gain some favor.

777 could analyze the above reasons, but the speed, which seemed like riding a rocket, still made 777 extremely confused.

【What else? In ancient times, power was the only way. Did anyone care about the so-called beauty paper, beauty bowl, and beauty lamp that the children of the aristocratic families brought out? They would turn a blind eye to the occupation of good farmland that was not excessive.】

Gu Youxing said slowly.

[That's right. Old Man Lin's family can't possibly go to the government office to sue someone. They'll be skinned alive if they go in. The clan has all agreed, so they can't cause any trouble. But host, you look like a villain.]

777 will say after analyzing.

Using power to force parents to adopt their children or something like that, if it happened in modern times, the fourth power would really be able to write such headlines.

[Aren't we villains? We are plundering the emotions of this world. Oh, Xiaoqi, is the task progress bar full now?]

Gu Youxing said with his cat eyes narrowed.

777 checked and said: [It’s still a little short. Maybe because it’s in the countryside, even if it gets to the ministers, it’s probably not a big deal. ]

Gu Youxing touched his chubby chin thoughtfully and said, "The dog emperor should give up his previous plan now, but who knows, it seems that we need to add fuel to the fire."

[Host, what are you going to do? ] 777 asked doubtfully.

[Well... we'll have to see if the power of the plot is really that strong.]

Pei Muli is riding a horse.

The little girl who made pancakes before found a child to help pass the message to him. Although he was not interested in being a savior, the parents who forced their son to death in an open and aboveboard reminded Pei Muli of himself.

Ha, his father, the Emperor, who was more than a decade older than his uncle the Crown Prince and could not even protect his wife, was probably similar to this family when he ignored the evidence of his mother’s murder.

Pei Muli thought to himself with self-mockery, but the horse's increasingly faster pace revealed his uneasy heart.

As the horses accelerated, the vendors nearby were immediately thrown to the ground. Unfortunately, Pei Muli didn't care about all this, and his guards would help him deal with it.

What he didn't notice was that while his guards were dealing with these small vendors, there was a girl dressed in aristocratic clothes behind them with her maid and servant, who paid some money and helped the small vendors set up their stalls again.

The vendor who got double the money: Hehehehehehehe.

However, just as the horse arrived at the city gate, Pei Muli seemed to sense something and turned his head inexplicably.

——Just happened to meet the eyes of a little girl in a carriage at the city gate.

“Stop!”

Pei Muli shouted.

Unfortunately, instead of stopping, the carriage followed the carriage in front and left.

Pei Muli turned his horse around and caught up with the carriage in front, and the guards following Pei Muli also followed.

"Stop that carriage!"

Pei Muli said fiercely.

The person in the carriage was the little girl who brought him the message. Her face looked extremely disheveled and her eyes were red, showing that she had been crying. She had completely lost the cuteness she had a few days ago.

It looked like it had been sold.

The guards did as they were told and the carriage in front soon stopped, but what happened next was beyond Pei Muli's expectations.

——The guards who got off the carriage were of the same rank as them, and no one except the princes and dukes were qualified to have guards of this rank.

But the guards of other princes' families did not have the aura of these guards.

That was the murderous aura that only came from killing hundreds of people.

And in the capital, there is only one family with such guards.

"Pei! Mu! Chu!"

Pei Muli gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words.

Along with this voice, a child came down from the carriage. He had the iconic cat's eyes and stood arrogantly on the carriage with his little chin raised and shouted at Pei Muli.

"It is me! Pei Muli, do you miss the feeling of being beaten? How dare you stop my carriage!"

Pei Muchu said this extremely arrogantly, and the captain of the guards and the guards who heard his words immediately stood up straight and drew their swords.

"You--" Pei Muli gritted his teeth, but finally did not conflict with Pei Muchu. He was not important now.

It is definitely not because he would suffer a loss even if the incident came before his father.

"Prince Zhongning, there is a little girl in the carriage behind you. I have met her once before. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to give her up?"

Pei Muli subconsciously labeled Pei Muchu a type. After all, Pei Muchu had always been a domineering person who would not let go of anything he saw, so he thought that the little girl must have been bought.

He didn't even ask a question.

It’s a pity that Pei Muli didn’t remember that besides tears of sadness, he also shed tears of heartache for his family.

then……

"Pei Muli, you've robbed me again! Last time you robbed my horse! Now you're robbing my cook!"

The child opposite suddenly became like a kitten with its fur standing on end, baring his teeth and yelling at Pei Muli.

The child's sharp cry made Pei Muli frown subconsciously.

Before Pei Muli could react, the child waved his hand.

"Someone, beat him up!"

*

Lin Cao'er knelt on the steps outside the imperial study, her body shaking like a sieve, completely devoid of the energy she had previously when chatting and laughing with customers at the stall.

She broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to be used as cannon fodder, I'm dead, I'm dead."

Although Lin Cao'er studied agronomy in her previous life, the Internet atmosphere in her previous life was such that everyone was a keyboard politician, and everyone knew a little about everything. But given her current situation, Lin Cao'er concluded that she was basically hopeless.

The emperor's biological son and nephew are both his flesh and blood, and it would be difficult for the emperor to deal with either of them. However, he must give an explanation for such matters as fighting in the street and overturning the stalls of small vendors, disrupting the public order in the capital.

"I, probably, am the one who gave the explanation." Lin·Explain·Cao'er thought angrily.

"Are you afraid?"

A child's voice came from in front of Lin Caoer.

Lin Caoer looked up.

——The young prince was sitting on a chair, with two young eunuchs fanning him and a palace maid feeding him fruit. He was living a very comfortable life.

This was in stark contrast to the Fourth Prince, who was kneeling on the ground and grinning from time to time.

He is worthy of being the current emperor's favorite nephew.

Lin Cao'er glanced at the Fourth Prince with sympathy, then replied, "I was frightened by the dragon's might, and lost my composure for a moment..." Lin Cao'er flattered him in a proper manner.

Normally, this matter would have just been blown over, but unfortunately the young prince who could beat the prince in the street was not a man who played by the rules.

He jumped off the chair and came to Lin Caoer and said to her.

"I know you are afraid of being punished by the Emperor's uncle, but the Emperor's uncle is not an unreasonable person, and..."

When the young prince spoke of this, the cat's eyes curved into crescents.

"Uncle Emperor dotes on me the most, not to mention that it was the fourth brother who started the fight first."

The young prince looked at the still kneeling Fourth Prince with contempt.

Lin Cao'er was wondering how to answer when a eunuch came out of the imperial study.

"Young Prince, His Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

Lin Cao'er heard the eunuch speaking to the young prince in a low voice again.

"Your Majesty just broke a cup."

The young prince obviously listened to the eunuch's advice. His little face immediately tensed and he nodded.

"As expected of the royal family, such a young child knows how to start a palace fight. I wonder what means the little prince will use." Lin Cao'er thought with a sigh, and a series of means such as green tea and white lotus eye drops flashed in her mind.

But the next second.

The shrill cries of the children reached the sky.

"Wow! Uncle Emperor, Fourth Brother bullied me! Fourth Brother bullied me! He even beat me! Wow! Uncle Emperor!"

Lin Cao'er looked at the little prince, who had just acted like a little adult, with a dazed look on her face as he ran into the imperial study crying and shouting.

I almost tripped over the threshold.

He looked exactly like a child complaining.

Lin Cao'er, who was expecting some advanced palace fighting tactics, said:... ?

Pei Muli, who was kneeling obediently and didn't hit the child at all, was hit by the child instead: Fuck!
