Lin Shaohua felt a sharp pain in his forehead; he hadn't even had time to react and dodge.
When Master Lin saw that his son was bleeding from the head, he was immediately frightened, and his anger subsided.
"Hua'er, you..."
"Since Father is alright, I'll head out now."
Before Master Lin could say anything, Lin Shaohua covered his wound with one hand, lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and turned to leave without revealing his expression.
The old master Lin, left inside the house, was red and pale.

The Tang family was happily eating lunch, and Lin Zao was finally at ease, her worries gone.
Before she could even take a few bites, a servant came to announce that a woman claiming to be her fourth sister had come to visit.
Lin Zao raised an eyebrow. She hadn't even gone to find her, yet she dared to come knocking on her door?
If she and Chengbo's daughter hadn't conspired to warn Wang Xuzhi back then, Chengbo wouldn't have died!
She wanted to see what her fourth sister was up to when she came to her door!
Lin Zao said coldly, "Let her wait. I'll see her after I finish eating."
The servant responded and left.
Seeing Tang Jian's questioning look, Lin Zao said, "It's okay, I can handle her. Let's eat slowly, there's no rush."
Seeing Lin Zao say this, Tang Jian was no longer worried. He knew his wife's abilities very well.
Several children, including Du Zhen's nephews and nieces, also ate with the family.
Now that Du Zhen and her father have been taken away by the young Marquis of Jingyuan, Lin Zao and his wife, having promised Du Zhen, will naturally take good care of the two siblings.
So when it was time for lunch, Lin Zao had her maid bring the two of them over to eat with them.
Just tell the servants to treat the siblings like guests from now on.
This way, they won't feel wronged.
After finishing her meal, Lin Zao went back to her room to change into a gorgeous outfit before leisurely leading her maids to the reception hall.
When she arrived, her fourth sister, Lin Fu, was already getting impatient.
He slammed the teacup down on the table with a loud "thud".
"What, is this how the General's Mansion treats its guests? Making guests wait for so long, has my dear third sister become a phoenix overnight and now looks down on her fourth sister?"
As Lin Zao lifted the curtain, she said:
"Fourth sister is joking. I was just so happy to hear that my younger sister was coming that I dressed up so carefully. I didn't expect that my younger sister wouldn't wait even for a short while. I'm so sad."
Hearing the sound, Lin Fu saw Lin Zao come in. Seeing her dressed in a glamorous and wealthy manner, Lin Fu was furious.
She always liked to compete with her third sister and always wanted to be the best. So what if Lin Zao's father was the famous Second Master Lin?
Lin Zao was just a pitiful little girl who was not favored.
Moreover, after Master Lin disappeared, her father took over the Lin family. In her eyes, Lin Zao was just a beggar living under someone else's roof and had no right to compare with her.
So what if she had a handsome fiancé? He's now her husband.
She never expected that Lin Zao, who had been missing for many years, would return as a high-ranking general's wife and give birth to twins!
Even if her husband is the richest man in Yaozhou, so what? A businessman is still a businessman. In the eyes of officials, he is just a lowly person.
Moreover, Lin Zao's husband is a third-rank official, the General of Anbei.
Lin Fu was so angry when she learned about this from her mother the day before yesterday that she fell ill. Now that she has recovered, she couldn't wait to visit her.
