Lin Qinghan realized that after her rebirth, many things had changed along with her, so what would happen in the future was still unknown. She had to do everything she could to reverse the situation where the Xie mother and daughter had the upper hand in her previous life. In her previous life, her two older brothers were harmed, either dead or exiled. In this life, she had to do her best to protect them.
“……”
It was late at night. The wooden clapper struck three times, and the Lin Mansion fell into silence.
Only Lin Qinghan was tossing and turning in bed, anxiously looking at the moonlight shining into the room.
Yun Zheng, who was keeping watch outside, had martial arts skills and was very sensitive to human auras. He could sense from Lin Qinghan's aura that she wasn't asleep.
Of course, Lin Qinghan couldn't sleep because something big had happened in her previous life. Her second brother, Lin Ruomu, was furious because of a woman and offended a powerful person. He was tortured and his legs became crippled.
Sure enough, at about four o'clock, a commotion came from outside.
Lin Qinghan immediately got up to change and hurried out of the courtyard.
Yun Zheng immediately followed her. Ah Zhu was sleeping because she was on night duty yesterday. She didn't know that Miss had gone out.
Because Xiaoxiang Restaurant was next to Father Lin's study, Lin Qinghan arrived not long after.
Before she entered the door, she heard the sound of a teacup shattering.
Immediately after, Father Lin's angry shout was heard."This unfilial son! What an enemy! It's fine if he's playing with things and losing his will, but he just wants to provoke the number one silkpants in the capital, Jiang Ziqiu. Even his father can't do anything to him, so how can I care?”
Madam Xie was secretly delighted. She knew that Second Young Master would take the bait.
She pretended to say," Old Master, please sit down and calm down first. What will happen to us mother and daughter if we get angry and damage your body? No matter what, Wu Ruo Mu is still your son. We can't just ignore him. Let's discuss it properly."”
Lin Qinghan sneered in her heart. It was a pity that the Xie mother and daughter didn't go to the opera.
In his previous life, Second Brother had offended the number one silkpants in the capital, Jiang Ziqiu. Before the Lin family could arrive, he was captured by Jiang Ziqiu's men and tortured on his legs. He wondered if the mother and daughter had contributed to this matter.
"Father, what happened to Second Brother?" Lin Qinghan pushed the door open and entered.”
At this moment, Father Lin, who was in a fit of anger, said unhappily,"What does a girl know? It's so late at night. Hurry up and go back.”
"Father, I don't know much, but second brother is my biological brother. How can I not worry about him?" Lin Qinghan said calmly.”
Father Lin let out a long sigh." If your two brothers can be as sensible as you, I have nothing else to ask for."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the butler rush in and reply,"I heard, Master. Jiang Ziqiu was drinking at the Emerald Cloud Brothel today. After hearing Miss Muyao play the zither, he tried to force her to join his private band. However, Miss Muyao has been very close to our second young master, and he sees her as his confidante. When he heard about this, he was very angry and argued with Jiang Ziqiu at the Emerald Cloud Brothel. Later, the two sides made a bet, saying that the loser would be at the mercy of the other party. In the end, after gambling for an entire night, the Second Young Master actually did not win a single round. Jiang Ziqiu had the advantage in numbers and was clamoring to take the Second Young Master away!”
"What is it? Just for a prostitute? Why are the youngsters nowadays so ridiculous!”Papa Lin's face was flushed red, and his voice was hoarse from anger.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go take a look.”The group immediately went forward.
At this moment, no one cared about Lin Qinghan, so she quietly followed her father.
The carriage sped all the way and stopped in front of the Emerald Cloud Brothel. This Emerald Cloud Brothel was a famous place for fireworks in the capital, and it was also a place where men could spend thousands of dollars in ecstasy.
It was said that the Jade Cloud Brothel was backed by the Li Flower Association, which was the largest and longest entrenched dark force in the six states.
The black markets of the hundreds of state capitals of the six states were all owned by the Li Flower Association. It was said that the combined national treasury of the six states was less than the annual income of the Li Flower Association's owner. However, the big boss behind the Li Flower Gathering was very mysterious. Until now, no one knew who the big boss of the Li Flower Gathering was.
Father Lin didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly followed the butler to the third floor of the Emerald Cloud Restaurant.
The third floor was a place specially used to entertain the nobles and children of aristocratic families. Unlike the noisy first floor and the gaudy second floor, the third floor was very elegant and unique. It was like a fairyland, and it had a refreshing feeling.
There were not many women here, but all of them were elegant and elegant. They wore plain clothes and were dressed elegantly and uniquely, but they also carried a cold and distant air. Every woman had their own skills, and Muyao was the one who was proficient in playing the zither.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was focused on the center of the hall. There was a long table there, and there were two dice bells on the table. There were a few dice on the table, and on both sides of the table were two groups of people who were hostile to each other and were about to fight. They were Lin Ruomu, Jiang Ziqiu, and the others.
Although there were two groups, Lin Ruomu only brought a manservant, while Jiang Ziqiu brought a bunch of guards and followers, eyeing Lin Ruomu and Jiang Ziqiu like tigers eyeing their prey.
"You lost again. If you don't win a game in a night, you'll be drunk. This is called fate. I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Do you think I want your legs to recover? Or do you want your arm?"
The number one silkpants in the capital, Jiang Ziqiu, said proudly.
"Since you're so devoted to Miss Muyao, I'll spare you if you kneel and kowtow three times and call me Godfather.”
Lin Ruomu clenched her fists. A warrior could be killed but not humiliated! Moreover, this gambling game was too strange. Who could gamble for an entire night without winning a single round? This was too absurd! "Impossible!" he shouted at Jiang Ziqiu. How can I keep losing! You must be cheating!"
As soon as he said this, the entire place fell silent and the atmosphere became stagnant. Although Jiang Ziqiu was a well-known playboy in the capital and loved to gamble with his life, everyone knew that the two things that this playboy, Young Master Jiang, hated the most in his life were cheating and lying.
"You dare to say that I cheated? I'll beat you to death!”
He jumped up to the long table and grabbed Lin Ruomu's collar, wanting to hit her.
"Come on, I can teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!”
Lin Ruomu was also furious. She clenched her fists and was about to swing them over.
When Old Master Lin saw this, he was furious. This little bastard, why did I give birth to such a reckless thing!
However, no matter how angry he was, he was still his own son. Old Master Lin could only pull a long face and look at Jiang Ziqiu."Young Master Jiang, this young man only had a small quarrel, why did you have to fight? If there is any misunderstanding between you and my son, just say it.”
Although the number one silkpants in the capital was a domineering person, he was not an unreasonable person.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and his ruffian appearance made him look even more handsome.
He was a famous handsome man in the capital, so he was naturally very good-looking.
His extremely good-looking appearance coupled with his trademark roguish smile made him exude a unique sense of beauty.
"Alright, since Old Master Lin has spoken, then tell me what kind of misunderstanding it is. How dare you say that I cheated!？If I can't explain it, I'll cripple one of his legs.”The surrounding people's hair stood on end. This Second Young Master Lin was too rash today. His words of cheating had really offended Jiang Ziqiu. Although Jiang Ziqiu had agreed to listen to the Lin family's explanation, his guards had surrounded Lin Ruomu. They were waiting for Jiang Ziqiu to nod his head before they would capture the Jiang Mansion and punish her.
Lin Ruomu, this kid, said that he cheated, but there was no evidence at all. How could he explain it? Old Master Lin felt a headache.
Just as the situation was in a stalemate, a girl's voice sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an ordinary-looking woman walking into their line of sight.
