The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

In particular, Lin Ruhai had no clan to take care of, only an only daughter.

The royal family's actions are clearly bullying, and Lin Ruhai is supposed to be grateful? Screw that!

With Lin Ruhai as a living example right in front of them, anyone who still doesn't raise their guard against the royal family would be a complete fool.

Besides, what's wrong with grassroots forces?

Many things are more efficient when done in the name of civilian forces than when the government intervenes.

"Uncle, please rest well. You should recover soon!"

Noticing Lin Ruhai's subtle gaze, Jia Huan responded with a light laugh.

"Indeed, Ru Hai, don't overthink it!"

Master Zheng chuckled and said, "These petty scoundrels have ill intentions; don't take them too seriously!"

"I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson later!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Butler Lin rushed in from outside, his face extremely grim.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Lin Ruhai was in poor spirits and did not notice anything amiss, but Lin Daiyu did.

He left Jia Baoyu's side and went directly to Steward Lin to ask.

"Miss, the enemy's men are here again!"

Butler Lin frowned deeply, but still told him what was going on: "He specifically asked to see the master by name!"

boom!

Lin Ruhai slammed the medicine bowl he was holding onto the ground, sending shards of porcelain and the medicine scattering everywhere.

Lin Ruhai's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, as he roared, "This is truly outrageous!"

After saying that, everything went black and he fell backward, causing a commotion.

"He was just angry, but it's nothing serious!"

Jia Huan rushed out instantly and carefully examined Lin Ruhai for a while before comforting him, "Don't worry, as long as you let out the breath you've been holding in, you'll be fine!"

While they were talking, the old steward helped Lin Ruhai up and suddenly pointed a finger at a vital acupoint on his back.

Wow!

While unconscious, Lin Ruhai suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled the medicine he had just drunk, along with a strange-smelling breath, filling the entire room with an odd odor.

Butler Lin and Lin Daiyu were filled with worry, but when they saw that Lin Ruhai's complexion was much better than before and his breathing had become steady, they immediately felt relieved.

Master Zheng merely frowned, clearly uncomfortable with the strange smell in the room, but did not do anything impolite.

But Jia Baoyu didn't care about anything else. He covered his nose, and with a slight gurgling sound in his throat, he rushed out of the house, making a clear gagging sound on the steps outside.

Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned icy cold. The emotion she had felt earlier from Jia Baoyu's thoughtful comfort vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable anger and displeasure.

Jia Baoyu's behavior clearly shows that he despises his father.

The Second Master Zheng's expression was also quite unpleasant; Jia Baoyu's performance was truly appalling.

Can't you just put up with it? You think you're so precious?

"This is stagnant qi in the liver, and it also carries the turbid qi from my uncle's body. It smells unpleasant!"

Jia Huan explained at the right moment, "Let's go out. Uncle also needs to change rooms to rest!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief; the smell in the room was indeed unpleasant.

Besides, who knows if Lin Ruhai's liver fire and stagnation contain any toxins?

Master Zheng led the way out, and Jia Huan followed closely behind. At the same time, he called out Steward Lin: "Steward, we'll deal with the unpleasant guests outside. Sister Lin, please stay and keep Uncle company!"

After a moment's hesitation, seeing Lin Daiyu nod in agreement, the old steward followed her out.

"You wretched creature, aren't you coming along?"

Master Zheng Er was about to go and meet that unpleasant guest surnamed Qiu when he caught a glimpse of Jia Baoyu out of the corner of his eye. He immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Haven't you made a fool of yourself enough?"

Jia Baoyu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he swallowed back the words "I want to stay with Lin Daiyu" that he was about to say.

With his head bowed, he followed behind Master Zheng, looking dejected.

To Old Steward Lin, this appearance clearly resembled that of a mischievous child who hadn't yet grown up.

But Jia Baoyu seems to be thirteen years old already, right?

Outside, his name was also faintly mentioned, as if he was the heir recommended by the Rong family.

Seeing is believing, what a waste of such a good-looking face!

Jia Huan was unaware of Old Steward Lin's inner thoughts; if he had known, he would have certainly clapped his hands in agreement.

He had now remembered exactly who this unpleasant guest surnamed Qiu was.

The commander of the city's garrison seems to also hold the rank of Cavalry Captain.

Because the title of "Admiral" was too exaggerated, both the man himself and outsiders preferred to call him "Captain Qiu" rather than the so-called "Admiral Qiu".

Fortunately, this is the Great Qian Dynasty, a standard Han Chinese court, not my Great Qing. Although the title of the city's patrol commander is prestigious, his rank is not high. He is on par with the commander of the Five Cities Garrison, a mere sixth-rank official.

If this were in my Great Qing Dynasty, this fellow would have an extremely prestigious title: Commander of the Nine Gates!

If they were to face the Nine Gates Admiral, the pressure would be immense.

Now, it's Qiu's turn to feel immense pressure. After sitting in the Lin family's gatehouse for a while, he was sweating profusely and feeling quite uncomfortable.

He's just a mere sixth-rank official, is it really appropriate for him to come to the home of a second-rank official and cause trouble?

"Lord Qiu, the Lin family doesn't welcome you, so don't bother coming here!"

It was rare for Master Zheng to lose his temper. He ordered a servant from the Lin family to invite Commander Qiu to the front courtyard flower hall. His tone was full of sarcasm, and his eyes were sharp with extreme dissatisfaction.

Commandant Qiu simply bowed repeatedly without saying a word, his face full of bitterness, not knowing what was going on.

Ignoring the sarcasm and ridicule of the Second Master Zheng, he finished his tea, stood up, bowed again, and turned to leave without any hesitation.

"Has this guy gone mad?"

After watching Captain Qiu finish his pantomime performance, Master Zheng was completely bewildered.

I thought there would be a heated debate, but I never expected to see this scene.

Jia Huan was also very surprised, but fortunately, he had seen a lot in his previous life and knew all sorts of strange scenes in those bizarre movies, TV series and novels.

Based on Captain Qiu's expression and demeanor just now, a bold idea suddenly arose in my mind.

Seeing that the Second Master Zheng was frowning deeply, looking completely puzzled, he suddenly spoke softly: "Master, was this Commandant Qiu also forced to come here?"

What is the basis for your statement?

The Second Master Zheng was utterly shocked, feeling as if his mind couldn't process what was happening.

Not only him, but also the old steward Lin, who was serving him, looked completely incredulous.

Only Jia Baoyu remained bewildered, unaware of what had happened.

"Commander Qiu's demeanor and behavior do not suggest that he has come to provoke us!"

Jia Huan explained, "Furthermore, how dare a mere patrol battalion commander repeatedly provoke us? Aren't you afraid that my uncle will submit an impeachment memorial and have him dismissed from his post?"

Master Zheng nodded, agreeing that what he said made sense.

If it were her, even if she had her own thoughts, she wouldn't pressure a second-rank official like that.

This doesn't look like a marriage alliance at all; it's clearly an attempt to make enemies!

It's unclear what Lin Ruhai was thinking. If it were him, he would have ordered his servants to kick the man out and beat him every time they saw him.

What is Ru Hai's attitude?

It doesn't matter if you have doubts in your heart, just look directly at Steward Lin and ask.

"The master told us not to act rashly, saying that anything unusual must be a sign of trouble!"

Butler Lin said with a wry smile, "Although what you say makes a lot of sense, this old servant and the servants below are feeling quite frustrated and uncomfortable!"

That's right, they've come knocking on our door to bully us, what's the point of being composed?

"Could it be that Ru Hai also feels something is wrong?"

The Second Master Zheng dared not underestimate him this time, and frowned, saying, "But who exactly is behind Commandant Qiu, that he would do something so inappropriate?"

No one could respond to that.

Previously, Jia Huan had never had any dealings with this guy.

Although the patrol battalion was also an office responsible for maintaining order in the capital, the western part of the city did not provide them with any room to maneuver, as it was a key area guarded by the Five City Garrison Command.

With the addition of servants and guards from each household, the security and order were quite good.

I reckon the underlings in the gang must have some dealings with this guy. I'll ask him about it privately when I get back.

Things happen inexplicably, which means they are unpredictable.
