The old man didn't care whether Lu Zhichen wanted the Taoist temple to make some elixir, nor did he care that Lu Zhichen allowed Tao Qingyu to collude with the Taoist temple to play such dirty tricks.
These things may cause some public outrage, but the court can suppress it by giving some money.
Only Lu Zhichen did something without telling him and the Lin family, which was why the old man was furious.
Lin Zong knew exactly what his father was thinking and shook his head at Lu Zhichen. "When you were little, you were the child your mother and I trusted the most. How did you become like this now?"
There is no use in having a disobedient child. The Lin family can support Lu Zhichen and some unknown princes, but it is more useful to have their own bloodline.
"Uncle, uncle, I really didn't mean to hide it." Lu Zhichen heard the implication of Lin Zong's words. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only pull his leg and beg for mercy, "I, I was just bewildered for a moment."
The old man was at the head of the group, and the more he looked at his grandson, the more he disliked him. Although he was a descendant of the Lin family, he was so useless, without any bearing or sophistication, and he even wanted to change things with some unreasonable things. How great it would be if Lu Zhixing was not blind!
Lin Zong also frowned and supported Lu Zhichen, "Chen'er, as a man, you should have integrity. You look really ugly like this."
You despise me when I'm obedient, and you also despise me when I'm disobedient. Being the younger generation of the Lin family is actually very difficult. The veins on Lu Zhichen's hands bulged. He suppressed the anger in his heart, put down his hands, and knelt with his head lowered.
"That's enough. It makes me uncomfortable to see you like this. Go away!" The old man looked at Lu Zhichen with disdain and shouted softly.
"Yes, grandson will leave now." Lu Zhichen uttered a few words and staggered out of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Zong frowned as he watched him go away and shook his head, "Dad, this kid is still useless after all. He still needs more practice."
"Do you think all children can be as smart and capable as Pu'er?" The old man did not hide his love for Lu Zhixing at all.
"So what if he's capable?" Lin Zong disagreed. "What's the point of him being so disobedient? Although Chen'er's talent isn't great, he could still be useful if he were to be disciplined. Moreover, if someone with such a personality were to take the top position, our Lin family's position would be even more unshakable."
The old man snorted lightly, but didn't refute. "Then you should temper Chen'er's temper more, take back the power in his hands, and don't let him make such a stupid mistake again."
"Yes, son, I understand."
That night, Lin took away most of Prince Yu's power, leaving only a few useless civil servants. He was so angry that he smashed his study to pieces.
After receiving this news, Lu Zhixing sneered and placed the message written in code on the candle flame. The flickering flame could not dispel the coldness on his face.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu hadn't been proud for two days when the power in his hands was taken back. It was very distressing for him." Liu Bai shook his head.
Lin's style has always been like this. He discards the useless ones and teaches the disobedient ones a lesson, so that they can only serve as his puppets.
"My fifth brother will probably take his anger out on me." Lu Zhixing glanced at the next room. "We'll have to tighten security before we return to the palace. The necessary personnel have been arranged."
Although Song Yushu saved the prince's life from the northern border, wasn't the prince being too kind to this little eunuch?
Even when she was angry, she still didn't forget to protect him. Liu Bai was puzzled, "Your Highness, we are not involved in this matter on the surface. If His Royal Highness Prince Yu wants to blame someone, he will blame the Crown Prince, right?"
"We just arrived at the temple and something happened. Even if we can't find any evidence on the surface, with Fifth Brother's vengeful nature, it would be strange if he didn't cause trouble. You must make careful arrangements." Lu Zhixing knew that Liu Bai's brain was not very bright, so he had to explain to him and let him pay attention.
Otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble, especially with the little scammers. The fifth brother's usual trick is to take it out on the weak if he can't beat the strong.
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Your Highness." Liu Bai nodded repeatedly and hurried down to arrange manpower.
Lu Zhixing sat in his seat and sighed softly. He used to like the little liar's nature of telling him the truth, but now he felt very uncomfortable.
She doesn't even know how to say something nice to comfort herself? Where has she gone now?
Speaking of Song Yushu, she was checking the physical condition of the rescued prostitutes and good girls. Most of them were covered in wounds, and their lower bodies were severely damaged, so it was not easy for them to return home.
In this era, it was a serious crime for women to expose their ankles, let alone these abducted girls from good families, who were even more miserable than prostitutes.
At least secret prostitutes can go to the brothels under the name of Song Yu's books and make a simple living.
"Sir, you saved us and we are very grateful, but we are already broken and can never go back. Please leave us a cenotaph after we die." A woman knelt on the ground with a desire to survive in her eyes, but she had to bow to reality.
For them, death may be another kind of relief.
All the decent girls except the prostitutes covered their faces and cried. They really didn't know whether it was better to give birth or to die. They had survived the previous hellish life, but now they had no desire to live.
Even the prostitutes felt sad for these decent women. Good women suffered such inhumane treatment. They still had a glimmer of hope, but these decent girls...
Song Yushu put down the acupuncture needle in his hand and helped the girl up. "My dear girl, you have finally made it this far. I believe you wanted to live before. I know why you wanted to die. It's just that those evil people are not yet dead, and you died. Don't you think it's a pity?"
I didn’t expect that this well-mannered and easy-going little adult was actually a eunuch!
But what was even more shocking was what Song Yushu said. The girl pursed her lips and said, "I, do we need the Shangguan Mansion to testify?"
This is tantamount to exposing their wounds to the public, which makes living meaningless.
The girls, except prostitutes, trembled all over when they thought of this and wished they could die on the spot!
Song Yushu quickly said, "No need, no need."
"That?"
"Why should those who abused you live well while you are left to die? It's one thing for the government to punish them, but it's another for you to punish them yourself."
"Sir, what do you want us to do?" It was the girl who had knelt down to Song Yushu before who reacted first. She thought that Song Yushu wanted them to serve her, but most of them were civilians with no background. They were not good at literature or martial arts. What could they do?
"Live well and watch their end."
