"The restaurant where the little saint girl is setting up her stall is owned by the young prince of Loulan, Chen Bichen. If we go and smash her stall, it would be equivalent to smashing Chen Bichen's place and slapping him in the face. This is not a good thing for our Lin family. As for negotiating with the head of the Yun family, there is no need for that. This little saint girl was born to Yun Lingjun, the daughter of Yun Ting. Yun Ting owes Yun Lingjun a lot. I heard that this little saint girl doesn't even recognize him as her grandfather, yet he still dotes on her like she's nothing. If we go and negotiate with him, the result is completely predictable."
Lin Zhuo said in a cold tone.
"Then go find Yun Wuchen? Since they are from the Yun family, he should be responsible for solving the problem, right?" When Cheng heard that this was not possible, she immediately looked furious.
"Yun Wuchen is in trouble and can't show up for the time being." Lin Zhuo shook his head.
"According to what you said, does that mean our Lin family will only be slapped in the face by her? What if the backlash she said is true, then what will happen to our son?" This is what Cheng was most worried about.
Lin Zhuo pondered for a moment.
Then he raised his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, I will go meet her in person! If she knows the situation, she will know what to do!"
"What if she doesn't know the current situation?" Lin Mengzhi frowned and asked, thinking of Zheng Jue's arrogant attitude today.
"If she doesn't know how to deal with the current situation, then she will naturally have no way out, and that is death! Even if Yun Ting dotes on her, I'm afraid he won't use the entire Yun family as a burial companion to go against my Lin family! After all, she is just a little girl!" Lin Zhuo's words were full of contempt.
Xiao Shuangbao said that he would wait two days to see whether Lin Mengzhi suffered a backlash.
However, that night he discovered something was wrong.
"Father! Mother!" In the middle of the night, Lin Mengzhi frantically knocked on Lin Zhuo and Cheng's doors.
When the couple woke up and saw him, looking sleepy, they couldn't help but feel a pang of worry at Lin Mengzhi's distraught expression, as if he had suffered a major blow. They asked, "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What happened?"
"Husband and wife, mother... the backlash is real! It's real! I've already suffered the backlash!" Lin Mengzhi said with sweat all over his forehead, a little confused, his tone full of panic.
"What's going on?" Lin Zhuo frowned, while Cheng pursed her lips nervously and stared at her son.
Although the left side of his face was swollen like a pig's head, her eyes were still full of the kindness that a mother should have.
At this time, Lin Mengzhi held his head and said painfully: "Father, Mother, you know, I read books at night. Because of Tang Zhu's trick, I have a photographic memory. No matter how difficult the content in the book is, I can understand it at once. The most important thing is that I can remember everything I see.
“But just now, I picked up a book to read, and I found that I forgot every line I read.
"Father, Mother, my photographic memory is gone! Just like that! Tang Chu is fine, that little saint's tricks have really backfired on me! Father and Mother, tell me! Will I never be able to study again? Will I become a complete idiot, or even a fool?"
When he spoke later, Lin Mengzhi's tone was almost incoherent!
His panic and fear were all written on his face, and tears started to flow. He looked really miserable and pitiful with snot and tears running down his face.
Cheng's eyes immediately turned red with tears, and she almost collapsed into Lin Zhuo's arms: "Master, Master! What should we do? Meng Zhi is our most important son! What if he is retaliated against? What if you go to see that little saint tomorrow and she refuses to stop? Isn't Meng Zhi hopeless?"
When Lin Mengzhi heard this, he was so scared that he burst into tears again.
Lin Zhuo hugged Cheng with an extremely ugly expression.
He was silent for a long while, and finally said, "Don't worry. Even if Meng Zhi refuses to stop this time, as long as Yun Wuchen recovers, we can ask him for help and find another 'Tang Zou'. Meng Zhi will still be the smartest and most studious child in the world. Our Lin family has been able to achieve what it has today thanks to that jade hairpin. It doesn't matter if it's gone now, we will always have another 'jade hairpin'."
Lin Zhuo's tone was firm and steady.
After comforting his wife and children, he asked the servants to send Lin Mengzhi back to his room.
The next morning, he packed up and went directly to the restaurant.
It was only just past breakfast time, but the restaurant entrance was already crowded with people.
Lin Zhuo came in a carriage. When he arrived and lifted the curtain, he saw the grand scene in front of him. His eyes instantly became dark and deep.
I never thought that this little saint's influence would be so great!
He sank his eyes, then got off the carriage, walked straight into the restaurant and asked for a private room.
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao had not arrived yet.
"If the little saint girl comes, please notify me. I have something important to discuss with her." Lin Zhuo said to the shopkeeper.
"But the little saint said that anyone who wants her to tell fortunes must go outside to queue up and draw lots, without exception." The shopkeeper said immediately.
"I'm not telling fortunes. I'm here to discuss something with her." Lin Zhuo frowned, his whole body filled with overwhelming pressure.
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed with a smile on his face, and then raised his hand to invite him upstairs.
Not long after, Little Frost Treasure came.
Chen Cao was setting up a stall outside.
She went straight into the restaurant.
"The little saint is here! There's a guest waiting for you. He says he has something to discuss. It's the head of the Lin family, Lin Zhuo." The shopkeeper lowered his voice as soon as he saw her and said, "Head of the Lin family said that as soon as you arrive, I want someone to notify him. What do you think?"
"Whatever you want to say, you have to wait until I finish calculating these three divinations today. It's the same if he wants to see me. If he really wants to talk, just let him wait. The shopkeeper will tell him what I want to say." Xiao Shuangbao smiled slightly, and then went upstairs.
The shopkeeper conveyed Xiao Shuangbao's words truthfully.
Lin Zhuo was quite annoyed and immediately strode out, trying to force his way into the private room.
However, when he arrived, he discovered that the best guard of the Lin family who was with him could not even enter the door of the private room where Xiao Shuangbao was!
The guards around the other party are not only highly skilled, but there are more than one of them!
Lin Zhuo thought that this little saint girl was not only the granddaughter of the head of the Yun family, but also the most beloved little princess of the Emperor of Dongqi State. His expression changed a lot in an instant.
"Okay! I'll wait for her!"
In the end, Lin Zhuo turned and left.
He returned to his private room, but asked someone outside to keep an eye on Xiao Shuangbao's every move.
Not long after, the first person who drew the lot today was taken upstairs and into Xiao Shuangbao's private room.
