After Lin Huaian was demoted, he asked for a leave of absence.

He finally convinced himself to accept the fact that he was demoted and went to report for duty.

However, the looks his colleagues cast at him from time to time still made him feel uneasy, and he wished he could hide on the spot.

I endured for half a day.

Just as he was about to have lunch with two colleagues, he saw a servant running hurriedly towards them from a distance.

He narrowed his eyes, and when he saw the person clearly, his heart sank.

"Sir, something happened." The servant had just stood still and spoke immediately without caring about the presence of others.

Lin Huaian was unable to stop him and could only glare at him angrily.

He forced a smile and was about to explain something to his two colleagues when they consciously stood two steps away.

"I think Brother Lin has some important matters in his house, so we won't disturb him."

One of them quickly hinted to him to leave quickly.

Seeing this, the other person quickly cooperated: "Yes, Brother Lin, you should go back quickly. There hasn't been any major incident in the past few days. We will talk to the doctor later for you. Brother Lin, don't worry."

Normally, after lunch break, they should return to their duty stations and continue working on various matters of the Ministry of Rites.

But they had already said this, and looked at the boy who seemed to be hesitant to speak, with an anxious look on his face. Lin Huaian didn't bother to find out what they were thinking anymore.

He could only thank him politely and hurriedly left with the servant.

As he walked, he lowered his voice and asked, "What happened? Didn't I tell you not to come here if it's nothing serious?"

While saying this, he did not forget to prick up his ears, alert for people approaching from behind.

The boy didn't dare to hide it.

He turned around to look at the two colleagues of his master who had not left yet, pursed his lips and whispered: "Sir, the eldest son has been arrested and taken to the Dali Temple Prison.

Madam is getting anxious and angry right now, and she asked me to come out and find you to discuss this matter."

Hearing the voice, Lin Huaian paused slightly.

He widened his eyes in astonishment and stared at the boy blankly, as if he was judging whether what he said was true or false.

The two people behind them were far away and did not hear what they said, but they saw Lin Huaian staggering and running back in panic.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads with emotion.

Looking all over the capital, there are very few poor scholars who have a bright future like Lin Huaian, who advances quickly in officialdom and has some ability.

There are many people who are smarter and more scheming than him.

But he was the only one who almost took the position of Minister of Rites and squeezed into the ranks of important officials of Beizhao.

Who would have thought that he would suffer a series of setbacks after marrying off his daughter?

They had met the eldest daughter of the Lin family several times.

That girl doesn't look like a disaster star. She is also the one chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to bring good luck. It can be seen that she is extremely blessed.

But why did something happen in the Lin family just after she got married?

Lin Huaian was demoted, the head of the Qi family, who was related to the Lin family, was placed under house arrest, and even Concubine Hui and her son in the harem did not fare much better.

The most terrible thing is the rumors in the capital.

If it is true as the story says, then Lin Huaian demoted his wife to a concubine and even colluded with the Qi family to humiliate and harm his original wife. I am afraid that the crime of this cannot be covered up.

Now, it’s only been a few days?

Something happened again?

Lord Lin, do you have an unlucky constitution?

Or was it that after his daughter got married, she took away all the blessings that belonged to the Lin family?

The two shook their heads thoughtfully.

But they all silently had an idea in their hearts, that is, they had to stay away from Lin Huaian in the future, and they couldn't let him pass on his bad luck to them!

They thought so, but they didn't know that Lin Huaian on the other side was almost going crazy after hearing what the servant said.

Just an hour ago.

Following Shen Guidi's instructions, Song Lin delivered Rong'anlou's signature dishes to the private room next door. After saying those words, Lin Weiran became even more elated.

Under the influence of alcohol, his words became more frequent and more outspoken.

No one could stop him.

Then he thought that this was indeed the Lin family's territory. As long as they didn't say these words, they wouldn't get out. He could only let him go.

What's more, the owner of Rong'an Tower came several times in person.

He enthusiastically followed Lin Weiran's instructions and had the best food and drinks in Rong'an Building.

They ate to their heart's content.

They even had some other thoughts in their mind, for example, the shopkeeper Song, who couldn't be called before, now bowed and scraped in front of them.

They looked at this and felt so relieved.

It has to be their Brother Lin!

In the past, they often came to Rong'an Building, but the people in Rong'an Building would not open any back doors or make any special exceptions for them.

Things will be different from now on.

They are classmates of the young master of Rong'an Building, and Brother Lin personally told them that they need to be taken care of when they come in the future.

Shopkeeper Song also agreed.

Everyone was in a good mood, eating and drinking to their heart's content. The people in the next room were probably annoyed by their noise, so they deliberately knocked on the door of the room several times.

However, when they had eaten and drunk their fill and were about to return home, they were dumbfounded.

Originally, they were going down the stairs in groups of three or four, supporting each other and about to go out, but they were stopped by people in Rong'an Building.

Lin Weiran was naturally unhappy about being stopped.

With hazy eyes, he pointed at the person who was blocking his way and cursed, "Why are you blocking my way? A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of here."

People in the lobby on the first floor looked over.

The storyteller paused for a moment, then pretended he knew nothing and continued telling his story.

The audience's attention was all drawn to the movement near the door.

The gentleman was not angry and continued talking.

Seeing that the person who was blocking him didn't move, Lin Weiran became a little angry.

Just as he was about to yell a few more curses, someone beside him said, "Why are you stopping us? Are you new here? I don't know you. Is this your young master?"

When the words "young master" were mentioned, Lin Weiran's body straightened up immediately.

Although I was drunk and felt a little dizzy, I didn't want to miss a single word of the good words I wanted to hear.

The man glanced coldly at Lin Weiran and the people behind him.

He chuckled: "Master Lin doesn't know yet? Rong'an Tower changed hands a few days ago. Didn't Master Lin tell you?"

Lin Weiran: “…”

His classmates: “…”

Everyone in the lobby: "..."

Everyone seemed to be shocked by this sentence.

Has Rong'an Building changed hands?

When did this happen?

Lin Weiran's classmates were also dumbfounded. The little thoughts that had just arisen in their minds in the private room were now completely gone.

What replaced it was panic and unspeakable uneasiness.

Lin Weiran drank too much and felt dizzy.

For a long time.

Only then did I understand the meaning of the words.

He immediately became angry and yelled, "You are talking nonsense. Rong'an Building is my father's property. My father values ​​this place the most. How could he give it to others so easily?

You'd better stop talking nonsense and making trouble, otherwise, you will be in trouble."
