Acai's Sky

Chapter 268 Such a Lin Hou

Wuwei Marquis Mansion Study

Lin Chuan slowly stepped into the study and signaled the housekeeper to gently close the door.

At this moment, the captain of the guards was standing upright with a list in his hand, and he had obviously been waiting for a long time.

Lin Chuan glanced at the captain of the guards and nodded slightly. Seeing this, Captain Li Kai hurried forward and respectfully handed the scroll and detailed list to Lord Lin.

Lin Chuan took the scroll and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"You just woke up and you can't wait to run here to watch the fun?" Lin Chuan murmured softly.

"I'm just like those free-spirited knights, searching for places full of interesting things." He continued to talk to himself.

Uncle Feng, the steward standing by, heard Lin Chuan's words and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He then asked cautiously, "Did the Marquis say that the young lady has woken up?"

Marquis Lin nodded slightly in affirmation, sighing helplessly as he lamented, "Yes, these knights are truly unpredictable. They do nothing all day long, just squatting around our mansion to watch the fun, completely oblivious to the magnitude of the impact. Now they've even brought children along to join in the fun."

Li Kai, the head guard, looked puzzled and dissatisfied. He couldn't help but say, "Since the Marquis knew that the young lady had regained consciousness, why didn't he send someone to welcome her back immediately?"

Lin Hou glared at him fiercely, his tone slightly accusing, "How could she be willing to return? First, she was secretly swapped by her biological mother, and then she was ruthlessly abandoned by her aunt. I'm afraid no one would want to return to such a sad place."

The captain of the guards, Li Kai, stared at the Marquis intently and asked with a slightly puzzled tone, "Are you saying that the young lady came here simply to watch the show?" His eyes revealed a hint of confusion and curiosity.

Lin Hou gently stroked the portrait in his hand and said slowly, "Children are always curious about new things.

Look, today they successfully rescued the second brother again, and brought him back to life and sent him back home. In that case, I decided to come and join in the fun."

His voice was calm and gentle, but it couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Uncle Feng, who was standing nearby, still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face after hearing this. He interrupted anxiously, "Humph! But that Second Young Master isn't even our child! Why bother saving him? It's simply unnecessary and asking for trouble!"

Uncle Feng frowned, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this decision.

Seeing this, Lord Lin couldn't help but chuckle, and then responded with a bit of sarcasm: "Maybe they don't understand the interests involved. I'm afraid it's just because Madam Ru is pregnant. If something really happens, it is likely to result in two deaths. That's why they are so nervous and try their best to save a life!" At this point, he shook his head slightly, expressing helplessness.

Uncle Feng was furious when he heard this and couldn't help but yell, "These people are going too far! What do they think our mansion is? Can just any kid be stuffed in there? This is simply going too far!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, waving his hands around as if trying to vent his anger and dissatisfaction.

Lin Hou nodded, agreeing with Uncle Feng's point of view, and then sighed, "If it weren't for these chivalrous knights holding the swaddling clothes and searching for clues everywhere, I'm afraid that woman would have succeeded this time. After all, this is my only bloodline inheritance..."

The captain of the guards, Li Kai, asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's so special about this swaddling clothes that makes you care so much about it?" As he spoke, he stared closely at Lord Lin in front of him.

Marquis Lin slowly raised his head and explained the reason in a low and gentle voice: "This is a special item made by the royal family of the previous dynasty. I only got a small piece of it by chance. My wife was pregnant at the time, so I thought of making it into a swaddling cloth for future use.

This fabric is extraordinary, infused with a unique secret medicine that makes it impervious to all poisons, antiseptic, and durable. It is perfect for making swaddling clothes for children."

Steward Feng nodded in agreement, "Indeed! This precious fabric was produced in extremely limited quantities in the previous dynasty, and it wasn't widely distributed. Therefore, few people in the world know about it."

At this time, the captain of the guards, Li Kai, looked at Lord Lin cautiously, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then as for Madam..." He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear.

A scornful smile played across the corners of Marquis Lin's mouth, and he replied firmly, "She has lost all status in my heart for daring to swap the bloodline of my Lin family. Haven't you seen how arrogant and domineering Madam Ru is now?"

Hearing this, the captain of the guards Li Kai suddenly understood and couldn't help but sigh: "So that's it! I was wondering, our Marquis has always been wise and brave, how could he suddenly become so unreliable. It turns out he is deliberately putting on a show for others to see!" As he spoke, he admired Marquis Lin's wisdom.

Lin Hou turned his head slightly, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said in a calm tone: "The child is saved, and I don't have any other special ideas at the moment.

They're just having fun and messing around, and what they're really trying to do will become clear over time."

Upon hearing this, Steward Feng shook his head and sighed, "Alas! It's understandable that such a small mansion has attracted the Emperor to send people to secretly monitor it. But why are the Qin family also keeping such a close eye on it? It's really puzzling!"

Marquis Lin stroked his chin, reminiscing about the past, and slowly said, "In fact, my grandfather once mentioned that there might be precious treasures left over from the previous dynasty hidden in our mansion.

Unfortunately, even though he exhausted all his efforts to search, he still found nothing. I guess these people came here just for the treasure!

Hey, let's see who can find the treasure. Everyone has come to the mansion to make a fuss, so it's a good opportunity to see who has the better skills!"

Guard Captain Li, standing nearby, looked puzzled and couldn't help but interrupt, asking, "Sir, didn't you say before that those chivalrous men in the martial arts world love to join in the fun?

Why is it that you yourself are enjoying this, even voluntarily and generously giving up your mansion to allow them to do whatever they want?"

Marquis Lin suddenly raised his head, tilted his neck back, and laughed heartily: "Hahaha! What does it matter if I have a lot of money and wealth? This marquis can earn enough wealth with his own ability.

However, this treasure from the previous dynasty is of extraordinary significance. If someone can really find it, it may be able to save countless people across the country from danger.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? So, let them be! Humph..."
