After the system ran, I took off with my family

It was already noon when they came out of the Jiang Mansion. The sun was shining brightly. After saying goodbye to Tang Yunci and his sister at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, Lin Shuyue took Qingzhi on the carriage.

"Yier, did Miss Lin really say that?"

In the study, Jiang Yushan put down the teacup, his face looking a little gloomy.

Jiang Yi nodded and lowered his brows, his long eyelashes hiding his deep eyes.

Jiang Yushan looked at his increasingly stable son, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then asked: "Is it possible that these words are just her excuses? She..."

Jiang Yi raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yushan and interrupted, "Dad, no matter whether what Miss Lin said today is true or false, we can only let it go. Becoming a disciple requires mutual consent and cannot be forced."

"Well, if that's the case, then let's stop here. You don't have to go out of your way to please the Lin family, but you can't offend them either. People like them don't care how high your official rank is. If you offend them, you'll probably get into trouble."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yushan's face was full of fear.

I still remember that last year, Gao Qian, the grandson of Gao Kun, the Minister of Rites in the capital, molested a female guest in a restaurant while drunk and wanted to drag the female guest back home. Fortunately, he was stopped by his classmates and the female guest was able to escape.

At first, no one took this matter seriously, but who would have thought, a few days later, on a dark and windy night, the piece of flesh under Gao Qian's crotch was cut off silently.

That morning, the servant saw that Young Master Sun had not gotten up for a long time, so he bravely went into the room to wake him up. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gao Qian lying on the bed with a pale face and a pool of blood under him. The piece of meat and a piece of letter paper were placed on the table. The servant was so scared that he peed his pants.

Gao Shangshu, who had just finished his morning court session, rushed over after hearing the news. He became furious upon seeing this situation and vowed to catch the murderer. However, after reading the letter on the table, he ordered the housekeeper to call the imperial physician with a green face. Even though his old wife at home kept crying and making a fuss, he no longer mentioned looking for the murderer.

It turned out that the person Gao Qian had flirted with in the restaurant that day was the daughter of an elder of a sect in the Endless Mountains. The woman had been in poor health since childhood and had not been able to learn martial arts.

This time, she secretly followed her fellow brothers who came to Beijing for business. She had just found a restaurant to see the world when she was spotted by Gao Qian and almost abducted.

After the woman returned to the sect, she told her father everything about her experience. The elder had a daughter in his middle age, and although his daughter could not learn martial arts, she was still a treasure in his hand.

Upon learning that his daughter was bullied, the elder angrily left Wujin Mountain and traveled thousands of miles to the capital to seek revenge. The letter on the table was left by the elder. The letter directly stated the whole cause and effect, and said that if the Gao family wanted to seek revenge, they could come to Wujin Mountain to find him.

After that, whenever Gao Qian went out after his injury healed, he would be put in a sack and beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

Shangshu Gao investigated several times, both openly and secretly, but could not find out who did it. However, he had a vague answer in his mind, but he had no evidence. Moreover, the imperial court and the martial arts world had always kept to themselves.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yushan's expression became more fearful. At this time, Jiang Yi's low voice sounded, "Dad, I'm afraid someone in our family has offended Miss Lin."

"What? What's going on?"

Jiang Yushan looked horrified.

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Yushan with dark eyes, and opened his thin lips slightly: "Before the banquet, my mother said some ambiguous words, which caused many women at the banquet to speak rudely to Miss Lin.

Cousin Zhou even insulted Miss Lin directly and told her mother to kick Miss Lin out, saying that she was not worthy of coming to the banquet. My sister was slapped by her mother for speaking up for Miss Lin.

Jiang Yi stared at Jiang Yushan, and the words he said made Jiang Yushan's eyelids jump.

"Dad, this is the first time Miss Lin and mother have met. Why is mother so hostile to my savior?"

As soon as Jiang Yushan raised his head, he met his son's deep eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse voice: "Yier, don't think too much, maybe there is a misunderstanding. I will ask your mother in person later."

"Dad, over the years, Jiang Shun has offended so many people under my name. Every time I want to punish Jiang Shun, my mother always finds various reasons to stop me. The drowning on the Qiqiao Festival, Jiang Shun's death, and the unreasonable troubles she made for Miss Lin...

Dad, I'm not a fool. I've endured many things just because I don't want to embarrass you, but..."

Jiang Yi showed a bitter smile, then stood up, patted his sleeves, glanced at Jiang Yushan who had a gloomy face, and turned to walk out.

Jiang Yushan listened to his son's light voice.

"Dad, I suddenly feel that what Miss Lin's Xiantian master said was not wrong..."

Jiang Yushan didn't look away until Jiang Yi left the room. After a long silence, he stood up, walked out of the study and headed towards the backyard.

……

Lin Mansion in Wutong Lane.

Lin An and Li felt a little uneasy when they looked at the pile of supplements, cloths, jewelry, and a small box containing five hundred taels of silver on the table.

"The compensation from the Jiang family is so generous, Ah Yue, would it be inappropriate for us to accept it?"

Lin Shuyue casually opened an exquisite box, inside which was a pair of violet earrings, perfect for a married woman to wear.

She took a look at it and handed the box to Li, not forgetting to comfort the two of them.

"Dad, Mom, just accept it with peace of mind. I know what I am doing."

Seeing that their daughter knew what was going on, Li and Lin An stopped asking questions and told their daughter to put the things away before returning to the backyard.

Time flies, and the Xunweilou branch was finally completed on this day.

Looking at the brand new and elegant garden transformed from two shops, Lin Shuyue readily paid the final payment to the craftsman.

"Ayue, I've already asked someone to make the plaque, and it can be hung up after the garden has cooled down."

"And I asked someone to make the tables, chairs and pots in the garden. I spent a lot of money..."

Lin An reported the progress of the branch to his daughter in detail.

As the branch store has not yet found a suitable manager to take charge, Lin An has been taking Qing Yuan to the branch store every day these days to manage the branch's affairs in an orderly manner.

"Dad, you've worked hard these days. When the new manager arrives tomorrow, you can hand over the branch to him."

The new shopkeeper of the branch was bought by Lin Shuyue from a dental shop a few days ago. His surname is Li.

This shopkeeper Li has some connection with Qinghe. He is the nephew of Qinghe's deceased wet nurse, Mama Liu.

Originally, he had been managing a restaurant in Wanhe County for Qinghe's family.

Three months ago, Qinghe's hypocritical stepmother falsely accused him of embezzling money from the restaurant, beat him up and sold him, and the man was later sold to a pawnshop in the city.

However, because he was sold for embezzling money from his master, no one dared to buy him until Lin Shuyue went to the pawnshop a few days ago and Qinghe recognized him.
