Qingcai suddenly felt a little short of breath.
"Could you two be the sons of Lord Lin Ruhai?"
"Oh, you still know my dad."
"No wonder he has such a graceful appearance, being the child of Lord Lin."
Qingcai felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
The Duke of Jin was indeed powerful, but Lin Ruhai was a favorite of the Emperor.
Even the princes would show Lin Ruhai a great deal of respect.
If Lin Ruhai really comes to his door, his life will be in danger.
"Get out of the way."
Ning Hong said coldly, and just as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Wang Xu.
"Hey, do your parents love you?"
“Of course, my parents only have me as their son,” Wang Xu replied. “Why do you ask that?”
"If I were you, I would tell your parents everything that happened today, so they would know what kind of people are around you."
"I see."
Wang Xu nodded. He wasn't particularly clever, but he wasn't stupid either. He was certain that there was something wrong with the people around him. "Thank you, brother."
"No need to be so polite, but I'm worried that these people around you might do something desperate. How about I take you home?"
Ning Hong originally intended to leave directly. However, after thinking about it, she turned back.
He just made this matter clear in front of so many people.
These lackeys are inherently corrupt. If they were to act out of anger and harm someone, the blame would be placed on him, and he would be unable to defend himself.
It would be better to go through the trouble of personally sending the person back.
"Brother, how about this?"
Daiyu suddenly leaned close to Ning Hongze's ear and whispered a few words.
She felt it was inappropriate to visit them so abruptly.
No one knows whether the Duke of Jin is at home now, and if he is not?
They couldn't possibly stay and wait for him, could they? Besides, what if all the servants in the house ganged up on Wang Xu and tried to kill him?
At that time, not only will Wang Xu's life be in danger, but they will also be implicated.
Two fists can't beat four hands. There are so many people in the Duke of Jin's mansion, they'd better not gamble.
They should take the person back to the Lin residence.
Have the Duke of Jin or his wife come to his door to look for him.
Ning Hong smiled and nodded, then kicked Wang Xu's knee with her foot.
“You’ve offended us and tried to ruin my sister’s reputation. Now that you’re coming home with me, we can’t let you off so easily.”
"Ouch." Wang Xu's calf went numb from the kick, and he couldn't help but squat down.
He covered his numb leg.
How did that person kick him? He didn't use much force, yet it hurt him terribly.
"Are you a martial arts expert?" Seeing Ning Hong turn to leave, Wang Xu quickly followed.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
"It's none of your business," Wang Xu said coldly.
He was a man of experience, and he had a pretty good idea that these servants were problematic. But the Duke of Jin's mansion only consisted of his family of three; there were no other masters. Whose orders were they taking to plot against him? If something happened to him, who would benefit the most?
His father?
His mother?
Don't be ridiculous, the Duke of Jin's mansion has only ever had one heir.
Therefore, he only thought that these lackeys wanted to win his favor. Little did he know that these people were scheming to label him as arrogant, domineering, and abusive.
In the evening, the Duke of Jin and his wife arrived.
Both of them looked rather unwell.
Upon seeing Jia Min and his wife, he immediately erupted in anger.
Especially the Xu family of Jinghe, whose temperament was somewhat fiery.
"Hand over my son."
Lin Ruhai remained calm, while Jia Min's face flashed with a hint of sarcasm.
"Now you're thinking about your son?"
"What do you mean?"
"We're both mothers, which is why I wanted to give you a word of advice. You can't be deceived by appearances. What did those people say? That your son took a fancy to my daughter Daiyu, and then my son beat him up and brought him back to the Lin family mansion?"
"Isn't that right?"
"You can ask your son yourself."
Wang Xu spent the entire day in the garden of the Lin residence.
He wasn't hungry or thirsty, but no one paid him any attention.
Now, his parents have finally come looking for him.
The moment he saw his mother, Wang Xu couldn't help but rush into her arms, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Mother, you've finally come!"
"My dear son, did they bully you?" Madam Xu cupped Wang Xu's fair face to examine it. His face was fine, without any wounds. "Was he hurt anywhere else?"
"No, they didn't hit me?" Wang Xu wiped his face. "I'm just feeling wronged. Look at the kind of people you picked for me! They all know how to flatter me to death."
Wang Xu complained, and then proceeded to recount in detail the actions of the servants.
"But why? We only have Xu'er as our heir." Madam Xu looked at the Duke of Jin with a puzzled expression.
Her womb was uncooperative; she only gave birth to one son for the Duke of Jin.
Of course, based on her reputation for virtue and gentleness, she tearfully arranged for her husband to have a beautiful concubine.
But her usually obedient husband defied her wishes for the first time.
She was deeply moved and finally understood that her husband wasn't really afraid of her; he just loved and cherished her, which was why he was so obedient to her.
From then on, the Duke of Jin's mansion fell completely silent.
There were no more maids climbing into the bed.
The family of three finally had some peace and quiet.
Unexpectedly, there was someone behind the scenes who was plotting against them.
The two thought for a moment, their expressions changed simultaneously, and they looked at each other. Perhaps it was her?
After all, if his son really cannot inherit the Duke of Jin's mansion, and he is still thinking about Madam Xu, then the Duke of Jin's mansion will have no heir.
So the only option is to adopt that person's son? Isn't that right? After all, they are related.
This person was Wang Mei, who lived in the most secluded corner of the Duke of Jin's mansion.
The younger sister of the Duke of Jin.
She was married to the wrong person and suffered a lot of bullying. She was brought back by the Duke of Jin.
At first, she was quite grateful.
After all, her parents had passed away, and she was content that her elder brother and sister-in-law had taken her and her son in.
However, some time ago, she sought a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her son, but was refused.
Her son is no better.
His reputation for womanizing in the capital was quite poor.
She always thought the matchmakers rejected her son because they believed he was a failure and had no title to inherit. But she didn't see Wang Xu, who was older than her son, yet matchmakers kept coming to her.
Little did she know, the matchmaker simply didn't like her son.
Anyone with even a modicum of sense of justice wouldn't propose marriage to him; wouldn't that be like dragging someone into a fire pit?
However, Wang Mei turned to the dark side from that point on.
He was scheming to get his son the position of Duke of Jin.
Once Wang Xu is crippled, his reputation will be even worse than her son's, and her brother will naturally have to make a choice.
