The Governor's Mansion.
A birthday banquet is being held in the magnificent mansion.
Today is the birthday of the Marshal's wife, Wu Xueqin.
Wu Xueqin invited several close daughters of officials and wives of wealthy families to celebrate her birthday.
A table draped with a white tablecloth was already surrounded by people.
Dressed elegantly, Wu Xueqin sat in the main seat, smiling and greeting everyone, "Almost everyone's here, let's begin! The Commander isn't feeling well today, so he won't be coming out to greet us!"
The women smiled and raised their glasses.
"By the way, Madam, we saw the Marshal's car leave when we arrived this morning?"
"Is there some important person here to celebrate your birthday today?"
"Oh no, could this be someone from Yandu?"
The crowd began to discuss it.
When the commander-in-chief's car is dispatched, those being picked up are no ordinary people.
He's at least on par with the Grand Marshal!
Wu Xueqin was stunned; she had no idea about this.
However, she still gave an awkward laugh, "I guess it's because my family has come to visit?"
"Madam, the Marshal is so kind to you!"
"After all these years, you and the Marshal are still very much in love!"
"Oh my, we're so envious!"
Everyone showered him with compliments.
At this moment, a woman sitting next to Wu Xueqin, dressed in a flamboyant manner, suddenly spoke up, "Of course, the Marshal is devoted to his wife, entrusting all his virility to her. Our wife is the head of the Marshal's mansion!"
Her name is Li Yan. She used to be Wu Xueqin's maid and they usually addressed each other as sisters. Later, Wu Xueqin arranged for her to marry into the wealthy Liu family in the city. She also gave birth to a son, and her status in the Liu family increased day by day.
"Li Yan is right. As the saying goes, a man's heart is where his money is!"
"With the lady in charge of the finances, she has won the Marshal's heart!"
"As long as we follow closely behind Madam, our future will be bright!"
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
However, Wu Xueqin's expression was not very natural.
This morning, she was dismissed by the commander-in-chief and is no longer the chairman of Xiongfeng.
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly spoke up: "Speaking of which, those of us who came with Madam as part of our dowry have all made it big by now, haven't we? These days, most of us are either wealthy wives or wives of officials! My son, for example, has been fortunate enough to be taken care of by Madam and has been assigned to a position at Xiongfeng!"
Li Yan's eyes flickered, then she suddenly said, "Except for one person!"
"You mean, Yunlan?"
Mentioning this person made everyone's eyes look uneasy.
"That shameless hussy dared to seduce the commander-in-chief back then! She was utterly shameless!"
"They even had a bastard child!"
"He was kicked out of the Marshal's Mansion back then, and we haven't heard from him for so many years. I wonder what happened to him?"
"He's probably already dead."
"Haha, so what if he doesn't die? That little bastard was blinded by her, what future can he have? Can he compare to our young marshal?"
Everyone sneered.
Buzz!
Just then, a low humming sound came from behind.
Everyone looked up and saw the gate slowly open, and a black, antique-style Hongqi sedan slowly drove in.
At the same time, a dignified old man carrying two stars on his shoulders hurriedly led people out of the villa to greet them.
Even the band immediately changed their tune, transforming into a grand and majestic welcoming melody.
"The people the commander-in-chief invited have arrived!"
"Could it really be the lady's family?"
"Let's go take a look!"
At this moment, all the guests quickly stood up and followed Uncle Fu to the gate to greet him.
Squeak!
The car door opened, and a black sneaker slowly stepped out.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a fair and handsome face peeked out from inside.
Although the young man was slender, he seemed to exude an invisible aura of dominance the moment he stepped off the bus.
That silhouette, that aura—it's just like a young, commanding general!
"He, he is..."
"Is it that little bastard?"
Everyone gasped in surprise, and all eyes turned to them in disbelief.
Even the First Madam's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists tightly!
"Oh? You've gone to such lengths to welcome me back?"
The moment Lin Yu saw the First Madam, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Uncle Fu hurriedly came over, bowed respectfully, and said, "Second Young Master, welcome home!"
"Welcome home, Second Young Master!"
The soldiers behind Uncle Fu also shouted in unison, their momentum unstoppable.
The First Madam felt a little dizzy.
"Uncle Fu, today is my birthday. Why did you bring this little brat back? Is he trying to upset me?" the First Madam scolded sternly.
"Exactly! What's the point of bringing that little bastard back? It's bad luck!"
Li Yan suddenly stood up, pointed at Lin Yu and cursed, "Your mother is a lowly servant, and you were kicked out of the house by the Marshal a long time ago, so why did you come back?"
"This is my home, why can't I come back?"
Lin Yu wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Aunt Li Yan, it's been so many years, and you're still as arrogant as ever!"
"You, you actually dare to insult me?" Li Yan was so angry that she trembled all over.
She remembered that this little brat was very timid back then, and anyone could slap him. She never expected that he would dare to scold her this time.
"Your mother is nothing but the madam's maid. Your existence is a disgrace to the entire marshal's mansion and brings shame upon the madam. Get out of here!" Li Yan cursed fiercely again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's body trembled slightly, and his fists slowly clenched.
Back then, he and his mother lived in the Marshal's Mansion. Because his father looked down on him, he was suppressed by the First Madam and was often bullied. Although he was the second young master, he lived worse than a servant.
Snap!
Li Yan pulled a wad of bills from her bag, threw it on the ground, and sneered, "You came back just to get some money, didn't you? Crawl over here on your knees, grab it with your mouth, and the money is yours! Take the money and get lost!"
"Come on! Climb over here!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Yu smiled slightly.
She walked over slowly, gazing at the cake on the table.
"Wow! What a huge cake! Haven't made a wish yet? Looks like I've arrived just in time?"
As he spoke, he slowly pulled a candle from the top, gently blew it out, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Mom, I'm back! Let me make a wish for you!"
"How dare you! Those are the First Madam's candles!"
Whoosh!
Li Yan was about to curse when Lin Yu suddenly struck, shoving a candle into her forehead.
The sound stopped abruptly!
With a gentle flick of Lin Yu's hand, the flamboyant body slowly collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open in disbelief!
The scene fell silent instantly, everyone staring in horror at the young man before them.
Lin Yu smiled slightly and stared at the First Madam, saying, "First Madam, it's your birthday today, and I don't have anything good to give you, so I'll just kill someone to liven things up!"
