Prime Minister Jiang cried and ran as fast as he could into the storeroom.
He kept muttering as he ran, "My money, the money I've toiled for half my life."
"Heavens above, please bless me so that the money is still here..."
The servants' eyes turned red with rage as they watched their master descend into madness.
The three little kids followed him around happily.
Upon arriving at the storeroom, Prime Minister Jiang took a deep breath before instructing the two servants standing at the door, "Open the door."
"Yes, sir."
One of the servants took out a key and unlocked the lock with a click.
Prime Minister Jiang didn't have time to wait and personally pushed open the storeroom door.
With a creak, the wooden door was opened by him.
The prime minister's eyes widened, and when he saw the items on the shelves in the storeroom and the boxes on the ground, he both cried and laughed.
"Good, good, everything is still here, everything is still here, it's good that everything is still here."
As he spoke, he excitedly walked to the box, rubbed his hands together, and lifted the lid of the wooden box. Suddenly, his smile froze, and his movements stopped in mid-air.
A short while later, he eagerly opened another box.
Then, he opened the remaining dozen or so boxes in succession.
Prime Minister Jiang felt a bloody taste burst through his throat.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft~"
He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, "You wretch! You deceived my feelings for over ten years, and... and..."
He pointed to the box, unable to lift it in one breath.
Upon hearing his words, Yao Qianshu and Lin Chang'an rushed to his side, saying, "Prime Minister Jiang, don't be sad..."
"Empty?" Lin Chang'an exclaimed in surprise.
Yao Qianshu said, "Isn't Prime Minister Jiang too pitiful?"
"You were seduced, forced to raise someone else's son, and now you've been swindled out of all your money?"
Lin Chang'an quickly reached out and covered his mouth, "Stop talking, can't you see that Prime Minister Jiang is so angry he can't speak?"
"Let's not talk about it now, let's wait until he's fully recovered!"
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing Lin Chang'an's words, Prime Minister Jiang coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Lin Chang'an carried Lin Wanwan forward, patting his back with one hand. "Prime Minister Jiang? Are you alright? We won't say anything more, we won't say anything more. Don't be afraid, we'll talk about it when you're better. If you vomit too much blood, you'll die. Your wife just died, do you want your whole family wiped out?"
"You...you..." Prime Minister Jiang was in tears. He hadn't been angered to death by Madam Qin, but he was angered to death by these brats.
"Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll have you thrown out!"
He's so angry!
I originally thought that after getting rid of those two scumbags, the son would still be mine.
The moment these three people showed up, they killed his son too!
Yao Qianshu, unafraid of death, said, "Prime Minister Jiang, don't worry, we'll leave in a bit. We'll leave after we finish eating the melon."
【yes. 】
[Hehe, Lord Shen's son-in-law is keeping a mistress, and it's causing quite a stir~]
After we finish this one, there's always another one to try!
Fifteen minutes later.
The servants immediately shooed the three brats out.
Yao Qianshu and Lin Chang'an walked down the steps, dissatisfied. "Aren't you going to keep us?"
"Get out of here!" Prime Minister Jiang shouted angrily.
After saying that, the door slammed shut.
The three of them exchanged a glance and smiled in unison.
Just as the three were about to turn and leave, suddenly, there was a creaking sound behind them.
The gates of the Prime Minister's residence were opened again, and the three of them thought that Prime Minister Jiang had changed his mind and regretted it.
Seeing this, Lin Chang'an quickly said, half-jokingly, "Prime Minister Jiang, are you perhaps..."
Before he could finish speaking, a small, exquisite embroidered shoe flew out from inside the door.
With a "thump".
It landed at his feet.
Then the door was slammed shut again.
Lin Chang'an looked down and realized that his sister's little shoes had fallen off sometime during the day.
He picked up the little shoes from the ground and put them on Lin Wanwan.
The two adults and one child skipped and hopped into the street.
Hehe, let's go to Brother Shenghuo's house.
Lord Shen has come to catch his son-in-law in the act of adultery; the son-in-law is staying at Uncle Yao's house.
Shen Jia Dalang was the eldest son, and he had already moved to a separate household many years ago.
The youngest son of the Shen family is the Minister of Personnel, while the eldest son only managed to get a position as Vice Minister in the Ministry of Personnel because of his younger brother.
Yesterday, His Majesty refused to let him take leave, and he didn't return to his residence until evening.
So he wrote a heartfelt and patriotic letter overnight to request leave, which was eventually granted by His Majesty.
I went to my son-in-law's house early this morning.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an's eyes lit up.
Pulling Yao Qianshu aside, he said, "Qianshu, last time I heard my mother say that your father visited our Marquis's mansion and wanted to hug my sister. Since we're out anyway, why don't we go to your mansion for a visit and let your father hug her while we're at it?"
"Didn't you say you knocked your father unconscious? Then he definitely didn't attend court..."
Yao Qianshu was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Alright, alright, let's go to our general's mansion. My father is too dizzy to attend court; he says he doesn't want to get up every day..."
The two adults and one child happily headed towards the Yao residence.
When passing by the Zuo residence, Lin Chang'an even went up the steps to listen for any sounds.
When the servants at the gate of the Yao residence saw the young master return, they all smiled and opened the gate.
"Young master, why are you up so early today?"
Yao Qianshu hugged Lin Wanwan tightly and said proudly, "My two brothers are visiting. Go and inform my parents."
One of the servants, upon hearing his young master's words, almost grabbed a rope and tied Lin Chang'an up.
"Quick, come in first."
We mustn't let them get away.
