Meanwhile, at the Governor's Mansion.
The sound of slaps and a woman's screams echoed continuously from the luxurious bedroom!
"Ah! You little bastard, you dare slap me in the face! When my son comes back, he will never let you get away with this! He will definitely kill you!! Ah!!"
In the other study, Lin Yuanlong was practicing calligraphy, his strokes flowing smoothly and powerfully.
Uncle Fu said worriedly from the side, "General, the lady's maid has come several times already. This isn't good. The eldest lady is, after all, the eldest daughter of the Wu family. If word gets out to the Wu family..."
Lin Yuanlong waved his hand, "Yu'er has harbored too much resentment over the years, it's good for him to vent it!"
"Better to suffer some physical pain than to be stabbed?" Lin Yuanlong shook his head and sighed.
"General, I see that the Second Young Master harbors deep hatred for the First Madam; I'm afraid it's not as simple as physical suffering..."
"Hmph! That's her own fault!"
Lin Yuanlong snorted coldly and said, "At worst, we'll just tear off the mask! In this world, strength is the only true measure of success! With my Yu'er's current status, what do the Wu family and the elders have to fear? Besides, if they dare to touch my son, they'll have to ask me, Lin Yuanlong, for permission first!"
Thirty years of observation show how a father respects his son, and thirty years of observation show how a son respects his father.
That's just how the world is.
Uncle Fu was slightly surprised.
The current commander seems to be different from before.
The former commander-in-chief, who was adept at navigating social situations and always willing to compromise, seems to have completely changed now.
"By the way, isn't the military parade next month?"
Lin Yuanlong suddenly thought of something.
Uncle Fu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Commander, a military parade is held every three years, and this year it's another grand review! Time really flies!"
Lin Yuanlong nodded: "Let Yu'er be the commander-in-chief of this military review!"
"Um, Commander, the review of troops is usually conducted by the first commander under the commander-in-chief, or the heir apparent. If the second young master is made the commander-in-chief, wouldn't that be tantamount to announcing to the world that you intend to appoint him as the heir apparent?"
Uncle Fu was somewhat worried. Although he already knew about the commander-in-chief's decision, announcing it to the public was another matter entirely.
Once the news is made public, the second young master will inevitably be thrust into the spotlight, facing all sorts of pressure, and even scrutiny from Yandu.
Lin Yuanlong waved his hand, "True gold fears no fire, and a true dragon fears no deep pool. If my son can't even withstand this much pressure, what right does he have to be the future king!"
"That's settled then. Make your preparations and release the news!" Lin Yuanlong ordered without room for argument.
Uncle Fu looked helpless, then nodded, "Yes, Commander!"
On the other side, a luxurious bedroom.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smoked a cigarette.
"Wu Xueqin, do you know why I hit you?"
Lin Yu pointed at Wu Xueqin's nose: "It's all because of you, you slut, that my wife has suffered! I'm just warning you this time. If you dare to play tricks on me again, I'll make sure you don't live more than a month!"
Wu Xueqin lay on the ground like a dead dog, trembling, her face swollen beyond recognition, but her eyes were still sinister as she stared intently at Lin Yu.
"You little bastard, what do you have? You're just relying on Lin Yuanlong! You're nothing but a chicken, do you really think you can become a phoenix just because you've climbed up a branch?" Wu Xueqin said through gritted teeth.
Lin Yu frowned. "You think I rely on Lin Yuanlong?"
"Isn't that right?" Wu Xueqin sneered disdainfully. "Without the Lin family, what are you? What do you have to compare with my son?"
"Your mother is nothing but a slut, a mistress. Everything you have today is stolen. Lin Yuanlong gave you a little power, and you actually think you're some kind of young marshal? Ridiculous! You clown! You bastard! You're just a mixed-blood mongrel!"
"A mongrel?" Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Wu Xueqin, how dare you call me a country bumpkin!"
"That's right, I'm a mongrel. Mongrels are wild and ruthless! You, a city cabbage, still got beaten by me, didn't you?"
As Lin Yu spoke, he raised his hand to slap him.
“You little beast, your mother was originally my servant, and I looked down on her my whole life. Can’t you stand up for her?” Wu Xueqin shouted hurriedly.
Lin Yu's hand trembled slightly as he suddenly recalled how humble his mother had been in front of the First Madam, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Just because her mother was a maid, does that mean she should be looked down upon, trampled on, and humiliated?
Seeing that her words had an effect, Wu Xueqin continued with a cold laugh: "If you want people to respect you, you first need to have the qualities to earn their respect! If you really want to make your mother proud, why don't you make a bet with me!"
"Heh? You think I need your approval?"
Lin Yu sneered and continued, "However, I'd like to hear what you want to bet on?"
Lin Yu wanted to see what other tricks this old hag was up to.
Wu Xueqin sneered, "I bet I can bring down Xiongfeng within half a month. I'll make you understand that without the Lin family, you're utterly useless!"
"Half a month? To destroy Xiongfeng?" Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's interesting! Okay, I'll bet with you!"
"But now that I have your life in my hands, what else do you have to gamble with? Hmm?" Lin Yu said with a disdainful look.
Wu Xueqin gritted her teeth: "I own countless properties and shops, plus the dowry I brought from Yandu, which adds up to tens of billions. I can take it all out!"
"Alright! That's great! A 10 billion bet, I'll take it!" Lin Yu agreed without hesitation, and sneered, "This time I'll make you lose fair and square, and make you kneel obediently before my mother's grave to properly repent!"
