Zhao Lin said calmly, "It seems that a lot of things have been lost, which has caused such a great marquisate to be so anxious."
Fu Liqing said, "Yes, but if you lost something, shouldn't you go to the Five Cities Military Commission? Why are you searching on your own?"
Fu Liqing was puzzled, but Zhao Lin knew it very well.
Han Yuehua must have come up with this idea because she was afraid that others would know that her own son was forced to run away from home.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that as soon as he met Zhao Mingya, Butler Fang brought people to catch the thief.
Fu Liqing held the manuscript and said in disbelief, "Mr. Zhao, did you really write this novel?"
Zhao Lin smiled faintly and said, "Not like?"
Fu Liqing said quickly, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just too shocking. May I ask your age?"
"16."
"One year younger than me?"
Fu Liqing looked at Zhao Lin in shock. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was written by someone over forty years old with a wealth of experience."
Zhao Lin looked up, revealing a deep loneliness: "Who says young people don't have rich experience?"
Fu Liqing's heart was pounding.
This Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is only about the same age as me, so where does he feel such a strong sense of loneliness?
He must have a lot of stories.
But it’s not easy to ask, so I can only keep it in my heart.
Fu Liqing said, "We will start engraving the plates immediately, and the first volume will be printed within two weeks."
Zhao Lin nodded: "Since I've sold it to you, everything is up to you. Goodbye."
While Butler Fang and the others entered another brothel, Zhao Lin hurriedly left.
Fu Liqing quickly asked, "Sir, could you please leave your address so that I can visit you later?"
She really wanted to make friends with this young but talented person.
Zhao Lin quickly left his address and turned to leave.
But as soon as he reached the street, Zhao Lin stopped.
Zhao Mingzhu was standing in front.
Zhao Mingzhu stared at Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin naturally knew Zhao Mingzhu, although they had not spent much time together.
Zhao Lin frowned slightly. He didn't know what Zhao Mingzhu was doing here, and he didn't bother to care about her. He just kept on being cautious.
Zhao Mingzhu saw Zhao Lin's caution, her eyes reddened, and she hurriedly said, "It's only me, no one else."
She couldn't imagine that when siblings met, the other party would be wary of her like a thief!
What on earth has he been through?
Zhao Lin sneered and said, "As expected of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, you finally found it."
Seeing that he didn't even address her, Zhao Mingzhu felt a pang of pain in her heart and quickly explained, "I just came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect to actually run into you. We've been looking for you. Where have you been these past few days?"
She almost asked, "Are you really in brothels and gambling houses these days?"
"Looking for me? What do you want from me? Don't you think bullying me is enough?"
Zhao Lin said this and walked around Zhao Mingzhu. He had to go back and do other things, so he didn't have time to waste with this young lady.
"Zhao Lin, you haven't been home for so many days. Mother is almost dying of worry. Not only did she send out all the servants in the Marquis' Mansion, but she also sent out everyone from the three of us, just to look for you. Come home with me."
Seeing Zhao Lin was about to leave, Zhao Mingzhu hurried over and tried to hold Zhao Lin's hand.
Zhao Lin immediately dodged and sneered, "Miss Zhao, what are you doing? Going home? Do I even have a home?"
Zhao Mingzhu felt a pang in her heart and said, "Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will always be your home, and you will always be our brother."
Zhao Lin immediately laughed: "Stop joking. How can a petty thief who steals things be qualified to be Miss Zhao's brother?"
Zhao Mingzhu's expression froze.
Zhao Lin said coldly: "Miss Zhao, don't waste your time. You actually came to see me, you should know everything and understand that there is no point."
"No, it does," Zhao Mingzhu said quickly. "This is all a misunderstanding. If you come back with me, you'll know. Everyone in the family has been worried about you these past few days. Mom is looking for you, and we're all looking for you too."
"Really? That's not what Zhao Mingya said when I met her just now. Let me think, what did she say?"
Zhao Lin pretended to think for a while and said, "I remember now. She said that if I want to go to your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, I have to kneel down and beg her. Unfortunately, I am a stubborn person and cannot kneel down."
Zhao Mingzhu was stunned.
She didn't expect that even now, Zhao Mingya would still treat Zhao Lin like this.
Have they forgotten that this is their own brother?
Zhao Mingzhu hurriedly explained: "She was joking with you. We all want you to go back."
"What are you going back for? Are you going to the ancestral hall to be punished by kneeling and not allowed to eat, or are you going to be a target for Zhao Chenhan to practice martial arts on? Or has Zhao Chenhan made some mistake again and is anxious for me to go back and take the blame for it? Miss Zhao, you are also a mother, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Zhao Mingzhu was suddenly startled.
A few years ago, Zhao Chenhan damaged Zhao Jingzhou's military documents. Zhao Chenhan was very scared, so he ran to the Second Prince's Mansion to ask Zhao Mingzhu for help, saying that it was Zhao Lin who did it. He also said that Zhao Lin was his biological son and it was okay, and he was an adopted son, and he was afraid of being driven away for making such a big mistake.
Zhao Mingzhu had no choice but to agree to Zhao Chenhan's request, on the condition that Zhao Lin would often visit the Second Prince's residence in exchange for Zhao Lin's agreement to take the blame. Zhao Jingzhou then severely beat him with a whip, and Han Yuehua punished him by forcing him to kneel and rest in bed for a long time before he recovered.
But afterwards, Zhao Mingzhu felt that Zhao Lin was too vulgar and lacked the upbringing of a marquis. Going to the Second Prince's Mansion would embarrass her in front of the Second Prince. So she refused to let Zhao Lin in several times when he went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Okay, I'm very busy and don't have time to waste with you. Go back and tell Han Yuehua that since we have severed ties, don't bother me anymore. You must know that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Some things you do will be punished sooner or later."
