Jia Min and Lin Daiyu had never experienced anything like this before, and they were somewhat panicked.

Although the manager and his men were guarding the gate, the people outside were extremely excited and there was no guarantee that they would not force their way in.

Lin Daiyu went back to her room and took out her sword, then stood in front of Jia Min and said, "Don't be afraid, mother. If anyone dares to break in, I will definitely protect you."

She had a stern look on her face, holding a sword in her hand, looking imposing, with her thin body standing in front, looking really like a heroic female general.

If it wasn't the wrong timing, Jia Min really wanted to sigh.

I don’t know when my two children have grown up. They seemed like babies crying for food yesterday, but when danger comes, they can stand up and protect her from the wind and rain.

The old mother was really touched.

Jia Min was extremely grateful behind her, and Lin Daiyu's palms, which were holding the sword, were covered with sweat.

To be honest, she had never fought against anyone other than Cheng Yu, so she was unsure about her own strength.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blame Lin Chengyu in her heart. Every time they practiced together, he seemed to be afraid of hurting her and never dared to use his full strength. Don't think she couldn't see it.

Not long after, a maid ran in and said happily, "Madam, young lady, the master is back."

Inside the house, not to mention Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, the maids also breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Min asked hurriedly: "What's the situation outside?"

The maid replied, "The servant at the second gate said that the master scared the people outside with just a few words and they fled in panic. They didn't dare to say a word. Now they have all dispersed. The master had the leaders of the riot sent to the government office."

"Serves them right." Jia Min snorted bitterly, "Those with evil hearts should go to hell where their tongues are pulled out, but now they are getting away with it."

Lin Chengyu came in after lifting the curtain. "Don't worry, mother. Those people won't get any advantage."

Jia Min pulled him up and looked him over. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, she let go of his hand and pretended to be angry and asked, "You still remember to come back?"

Lin Chengyu laughed and said, "Mother, this is your son's home, so of course I have to come back."

"Oh... So you still know this is your home. I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago." Jia Min looked dissatisfied. "If it weren't for the incident at home, you wouldn't have come back. I'm afraid you would have been happy here for a long time."

Lin Chengyu said helplessly: "The prince was injured in order to save me, I can't just be so cold-hearted and abandon him."

Jia Min didn't say anything at this point, and asked worriedly, "How is the prince's injury? Is it serious?"

Lin Chengyu nodded, then shook his head, with an inexplicable look on his face. Jia Min was anxious, "Speak up, is it serious or not?"

Lin Chengyu sighed with sorrow and self-blame, saying, "The injury is serious. There is a hole in the shoulder. The imperial physician said that I need to take good care of myself and not to pull the wound, otherwise it will cause a root cause of the disease and I will be uncomfortable in the future."

Jia Min didn't expect it to be so serious, so she didn't blame Lin Chengyu for not going home, and said hurriedly: "Then you take good care of yourself in the palace, don't rush back."

She thought that although the palace had everything it needed, the prince's rescue of Chengyu was a great favor to the Lin family.

Although Chengyu was asked to go and take care of the child, Jia Min knew her son's personality. Even though she said that he was taking care of the prince, she was afraid that once he went to the palace, the prince would still worry about him.

Jia Min thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to stay here. I will personally prepare a generous gift for you to take back."

"Normally, your father should come to thank you, but the prince is seriously injured now, and it's not a good idea to disturb him while he recovers." She was still thinking about what kind of gift to give to show her respect. "Go back and tell the prince that after a while, when his injury gets better, your father must come to thank you in person for saving his life."

Lin Chengyu nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely convey every word to the prince."

After dinner, Jia Min urged Lin Chengyu to leave quickly, "The prince cannot be without someone by his side, so go back quickly after you are full."

Lin Chengyu: “…”

Xuan Zheng's favorability rating has really skyrocketed this time.

"It's still early, no rush." ​​Lin Chengyu held the teacup and drank tea slowly. "It's not too late to go back when it's getting dark. The prince has maids to take care of him. I have to serve him tea and water when I go back. Please let me relax at home for a while."

Jia Min frowned slightly and said disapprovingly: "How did you become like this? The prince was injured to save you, but you just wanted to shirk your responsibilities. Isn't it disheartening?"

Lin Chengyu was about to say something when Jia Min kicked her out with a fierce look on her face.

"The older you get, the more trouble you have."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard Jia Min's words, "Chengyu is teasing you on purpose. He says he doesn't want to leave, but in fact his heart has already left."

Jia Min couldn't help laughing and scolding a few times, but her expression was extremely indulgent.

After Lin Chengyu arrived at the Linhuai Palace with the generous gifts prepared by Jia Min, when Manager An saw this scene, two words suddenly popped up in his mind -

dowry.

Although he is older, he has seen a lot of things and has long noticed the trick between the two little ancestors.

But not sure.

Until I accidentally saw that scene.

Steward An came forward and asked with a smile, "Young Master, you are back. What are you doing?"

Lin Chengyu said: "Thank you."

The smart man didn't need much explanation, Manager An understood immediately and quickly had the things carried to the warehouse and put away carefully.

Lin Chengyu asked: "Is the prince back?"

Manager An said, "He just came back and should be changing his clothes now."

Lin Chengyu nodded and said nothing.

After walking a few steps, a maid came towards her, holding the clothes that Xuan Zheng wore when he went out today. She walked hurriedly past Lin Chengyu, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.

Xuan Zheng had just changed his clothes when Lin Chengyu pushed the door open and asked, "How is it?"

Xuan Zheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes sparkling, as if he was asking for credit, "Of course it's easy to get. There is nothing in this world that I can't get."

Lin Chengyu followed his words and praised him a few more times.

The assassin's name was Zhao Zhong. Both his parents had passed away, but he had a wife and children at home.

Zhao Zhong's parents did die in a tragic way. Just as the rumors said, they were eaten by vicious dogs after death, and not even a complete body was left.

But all this can only be blamed on their gambling addiction. They owed a huge gambling debt that they could not pay back. When they were chased by people to collect the debt, they accidentally fell off a cliff and were finally eaten by a group of hungry dogs.

Zhao Zhong should have felt more relaxed now that his parents were no longer a burden to him.

But the four words "a son pays for his father's debts" made it impossible for him to escape.

His parents died, and as their son he had to pay off their debts.

But his monthly salary was so little that even if he went without food and drink for his entire life, he would not be able to pay back such a huge sum of money.

The debt collectors knew he was in the army, so they never looked for him.

But every time when he was not at home, she would threaten and intimidate his wife and children, and even threatened that if he did not pay back the money, she would kidnap and sell his wife and children, and he would never be able to find them in his life.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a man found him, asked him to do something, and promised him a large sum of money.

The money was so much that after paying off their gambling debts there was still a lot left over, enough for their family of three to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Zhong was moved.
