Chapter 87 We are mature and stable

Lin Yu turned around and shot back: "I don't need you to worry about my life. You never cared about me before, but now you are pretending to be so. Please go back. I have the ability to support myself. I don't need you to give me charity to support my studies."

"You support yourself?" Father Lin seemed to have heard a big joke. He pulled Lin Yu's arm and said, "You are just an eight-year-old kid. How can you support yourself? You dress like a little beggar. If people see you, I would be ashamed to have a son like you."

Lin Yu shook off his hand and said coldly: "Since you feel ashamed, then we will not be father and son anymore. I don't want to be hypocritical with you anymore. It's really disgusting."

"You!" Father Lin raised his hand and shouted, "You traitorous son, I must teach you a lesson today!"

"stop!"

"Don't touch Lin Yu!"

Zong Jincheng and Zong Wenxiu shouted in unison.

Buyan quickly grabbed Lin's father's hand and threw it to the ground.

Father Lin wailed, "Ouch... my waist... Who dares to hit someone in the academy? Haven't you heard of my reputation as Lin Youde from Qingyun Street?"

The little devil snorted and replied even more arrogantly than him: "Then you haven't heard of the name of Zong Jincheng, the leader of the four little dandies in Beijing?"

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

Are you here to fight evil with evil?

But you know what, it's quite useful.

Father Lin was so frightened that his scalp tightened, and he trembled and said, "Zong Jincheng from Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion?"

His Lin family was a merchant family, with only a little money, but no power at all. Moreover, the other party was the Yuanyang Marquisate, the richest official family in the capital, and the other party had countless times more money and power than him.

Father Lin was immediately frightened, and took a few steps back, then quickly changed his expression and said with a flattering smile: "So it's Master Zong, I'm blind and didn't recognize you, I've heard of your great name for a long time, I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Lin Yu sneered even more. He was not surprised by Lin's father's reaction. It was his nature as a businessman and he was used to doing that.

Zong Jincheng raised his head proudly and said, "Lin Yu has already said that he doesn't want to be your father and son anymore. If you keep pestering me like this, I won't be polite."

Father Lin waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, since Master Zong has spoken, I must obey. I don't want this child anymore, I'll give it to you, I'll get out of here right now, and I won't dare to come to Qingbo Academy again!"

After saying this, he rolled and crawled away, not even daring to look back.

Father Lin's fear of the Marquis Yuanyang Mansion was not only because it was a marquisate, but also because the mansion's businesses involved too many industries, and he could destroy his Lin family with just a flick of his finger.

Although Lin Yu is his son, he has countless sons. This disobedient and unfilial son may as well be treated as one that he has never had. Anyway, he does not expect Lin Yu to achieve anything. In the future, he will definitely kneel down and beg him to go home.

Zong Jincheng looked at Lin's father's back and frowned, "Brother, I wanted to help Lin Yu chase him away, but he ran so fast that I felt even more unhappy. Why is that?"

Zong Wenxiu thought for a moment and said, "I think he must have put himself in Lin Yu's shoes and felt bad for having such a cold-blooded father. It's better not to have a father like this."

Zong Jincheng nodded heavily: "That makes sense."

Lin Yu saw this and came over to thank them.

Zong Jincheng waved his hands and said, "It's okay, just raise your hands."

Zong Wenxiu was more polite. He smiled and comforted her, "Lin Yu, you have improved a lot in this exam compared to the last time. If you keep doing this, you will definitely get good grades and make your father regret it."

Lin Yu also smiled and said, "Thank you, I thought so too."

After saying that, he looked at Zong Jincheng again, "Are you going to the children's class to find Qin Ye after you finish the exam this time?"

Zong Jincheng tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "Not yet. My brother told me not to be too anxious. What's the matter? Do you also want to go to the Tongke class?"

Lin Yu smiled and shook his head: "No, the Tongzike is for child prodigies. I'm just an ordinary person who works hard. I will study my lessons step by step and take the regular imperial examinations in a few years. That's enough."

"Ah?" Zong Jincheng looked puzzled.

On the other side, Lin Yu said goodbye to them and went back to the academy to continue reading.

Zong Jincheng looked at Lin Yu's back and asked in confusion, "Brother, why is he so unconfident that he doesn't even want to enter the children's class? At least go and try. Maybe he is also a child prodigy."

Zong Wenxiu chuckled and said, "How can there be child prodigies everywhere? I heard that Lin Yu started to learn when he was three years old, and he studied for five years before he managed to get third place in the eight-year-old class in the academy. Outside of Qingbo Academy, there are countless students of different ages who are better than him. He doesn't have a clear advantage."

Zong Jincheng said, "Oh," and understood, "That's right. It's impossible for everyone to be as smart, talented, and capable as me. Otherwise, how can I highlight my uniqueness? I understand."

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

It starts again, it starts again.

Can’t I have a little bit of my brother’s confidence?

"Master Cheng, Master Xiu, Madam has to hurry back to the Shangshu Mansion and asked me to take you back." Butler Liu came over and called them.

The two brothers were chatting happily. Just as Zong Wenxiu was about to say "OK" in reply, Zong Jincheng quickly covered his mouth with his hand and stopped him.

He asked Butler Liu, "Is it that the Duke of Jin's Mansion is going to visit the bride? Don't we need to go?"

Steward Liu stepped forward and said with a fake smile, "Do you two want to go? There are many people going to the Shangshu Mansion today. Not only are there people from the Duke of Jin's Mansion, but the Shangshu himself will also be there. There must not be any mistakes."

"No... isn't it appropriate?" Zong Wenxiu whispered, "Jincheng, there must be a lot of people in the Shangshu Mansion today. If we go, we might cause trouble for the Madam."

Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes, patted his hand vigorously and said, "How could that be? We are both so mature and stable, we won't cause any trouble, absolutely not."

Zong Wenxiu: “…” I was a little unconvinced.

Butler Liu: “???”

Mature and stable?

Mr. Xiu may be in line with this, but what do these two words have to do with you, the little devil?

Do you want a little bit of it?

The reliable butler managed his facial expressions well. He complained about Zong Jincheng a thousand times in his heart, but he kept smiling and said nothing, and it was obvious that he didn't want to take him with him.

Zong Jincheng was still fooling around, "I'm really not making trouble. I just learned how to read people's expressions from my brother, and I need to practice with more people. I promise not to say anything nonsense, and even if I do, I will speak quietly and only to my brother."

Steward Liu compromised and said, "Then I will go tell the Madam, and the two gentlemen should also get on the carriage. You can talk on the way."

"Okay." Zong Jincheng pulled Zong Wenxiu and ran towards the carriage.

Zong Wenxiu asked as he ran, "Jincheng, what do you want to do? Butler Liu said that today is a serious day and we can't hinder the Madam."

"No, no, I definitely won't talk nonsense this time." Zong Jincheng whispered in his ear.

Zong Wenxiu immediately stopped trying to persuade him: "Are you telling the truth?"
