A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

"Compal~"

Lord Lin immediately stood up and opened the door with a smile, but his smile froze when he saw Lin Chengfeng.

"Why are you here?"

"Father." Lin Chengfeng carried Renbao into the study without explaining. He sat down and smiled at Su Xuance, "Xuance, your Renbao is so cute, I really want to steal him home."

Lin Chengfeng was very tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His gaze was bright and piercing, and he exuded an aura of righteousness.

Upon returning to the Lin residence, he learned that the Duke of Lin had come to the Su residence. Thinking that he hadn't had a chance to catch up with Su Xuance in a long time, he made a special trip to visit him.

As soon as they entered the mansion, they encountered Renbao.

Renbao spoke to him very familiarly, and in just a moment, he was willing to squat down and let her ride him like a horse.

"I won't give it to you. I want to get married and have a child as soon as possible." Su Xuance poured him tea, took Renbao from his shoulder, and teased him.

Upon hearing this, Duke Lin became excited and exclaimed, "Exactly! Just being envious won't do any good!"

Renbao covered her mouth and giggled: "Uncle Lin, Grandpa is subtly criticizing you."

Knowing that Renbao could read fortunes, Lord Lin leaned closer and asked softly, "Renbao, could you tell the fortune of your good-for-nothing uncle? Where is his marriage prospect? Is he destined to be a loner for life?"

"Sure." Renbao stared intently at Lin Chengfeng's face and said slowly in her childish voice, "Uncle Lin's marital palace is very full, his future aunt will be beautiful and gentle."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lin beamed with joy: "Renbao, when will you be able to marry this aunt?"

"Next June, Renbao will be able to attend Uncle Lin's wedding banquet!" Renbao said cheerfully.

Lin Chengfeng was shocked. He was surrounded by men, and apart from the maids in the mansion, he never saw a woman.

They're getting married next June. After going through the traditional wedding rites, it will take at least a few months. So, wouldn't he be able to meet his soulmate very soon?

That's a bit unbelievable.

"Master, the meal is ready," Laifu came to report.

Lord Lin and his son stayed at the Su residence for a meal.

Renbao loved to eat, and the cook at the Su residence adored her. She specially went to learn about cuisines from all over the world and even consulted with many chefs from restaurants.

Her current culinary skills are comparable to those of the imperial chefs in the palace.

Upon tasting the dish, Duke Lin's eyes lit up, and he praised it highly: "The cooks in the manor are incredibly skilled. I've tasted dishes from all the restaurants in the capital, and there are very few that can compare."

Renbao stuffed large mouthfuls of meat into his mouth and whimpered, "So delicious."

Lord Lin wanted to pick up a piece of meat, but Lin Chengfeng stopped him: "Father, your body is not suitable for eating meat and fish. You should eat some vegetables instead."

"You little brat, I love eating meat. What's the point of living if I can't eat my fill until I die?" Lord Lin snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Renbao took a white porcelain bottle out of the bamboo basket and handed it to Lord Lin: "Grandpa Lin, take one of these Nine-Ganoderma Pills every day, and it will cure your illness and even prolong your life!"

Jiuzhiwan!

Lord Lin and Lin Chengfeng leaned closer to look, and a rich, pure medicinal aroma wafted over them.

They'd heard of this medicine! Rumor had it that taking it could not only dispel illness, but also give those seriously ill a glimmer of hope.

A single dose of this medicine, which would cost tens of thousands of taels of gold, was given away by Renbao in a single porcelain bottle.

"Renbao, this medicine is too precious." Duke Lin refused to take the medicine, saying, "Grandpa feels unworthy to accept it; just one pill will suffice."

Renbao slammed the bamboo basket shut, making a loud thud: "I have plenty of this medicine, Grandpa Lin, don't worry about taking it."

She leaned forward and stuffed the porcelain bottle into Lord Lin's pocket.

"Take it."

Lord Lin's face flushed red, both excited and moved, and he hesitated in his voice, "Then I'll accept it?"

"Hmm." Renbao sat back down on the stool, picked up a big chicken leg and started gnawing on it, his little chubby leg wobbling.

The servant brought the wine.

Renbao can't drink it; she drinks fruit syrup, which tastes sweet and she likes it very much.

Su Xuance leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Renbao looked at Duke Lin and said loudly, "Father, don't worry, Renbao will definitely persuade Grandpa Lin to return to the court!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Su Xuance: ………

My darling! He heard everything, so how can he whisper anymore?

Lin Chengfeng put down his wine glass.

Lord Lin took a slow sip of wine and looked at Renbao, teasing her, "Renbao, how do you plan to persuade me?"

Renbao placed a pigeon leg on his plate, looked at him expectantly, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandpa Lin, go ahead, go to court with Renbao tomorrow."

"Alright." Duke Lin laughed heartily and agreed indulgently.

Su Xuance and Lin Chengfeng exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

So, you just agreed?

The next day.

Renbao fell fast asleep on Su Xuance's shoulder as they entered the palace.

When the civil and military officials saw her, they immediately stopped whispering among themselves, not wanting to wake her.

The emperor appeared, and all the officials paid homage.

"My esteemed ministers, please rise," the emperor said with a smile.

"Oh dear, I'm late." Duke Lin, dressed in his slightly disheveled official robes and carrying a pot of tea, entered the Golden Palace. He rubbed his eyes and muttered, "The time for court is too early; it's a bit unreasonable. I think it could be changed."

So familiar!

Upon hearing this voice, all the civil and military officials trembled and turned around in disbelief.

The emperor held back, pretending not to hear. He had finally managed to persuade Su Xuance to bring Lin Qiaozui back, lest she be angered and sent away again on her first day of court.

"Duke Lin, this is a rule established throughout history. How can it be changed so easily? Aren't you putting His Majesty in a difficult position?"

In the silence, Su Chengxiao spoke up.

Lord Lin had been recuperating at home for several years, and his reputation for spending his days eating in the streets and alleys or traveling around was known throughout the court.

They only paid lip service to their envy; in reality, they were unwilling to relinquish their positions of real power.

Therefore, in Su Chengxiao's view, the fact that Duke Lin was able to return to the court today was nothing more than an imperial favor.

His initiative will surely please His Majesty.

"Are you out of your mind? You don't care about Renbao, but you're going to dote on a fake heiress."

As soon as Lord Lin saw that it was Su Chengxiao, he started cursing.

"You're petty and can't stand seeing your younger brother do well, so you try to trip him up behind his back."

"How can someone like you be allowed to serve in the court? Has His Majesty's eyesight failed him?"

In short, it implies the two people.

Only Lord Lin would dare to say that.

"You!" Su Chengxiao's face turned green with anger.

Lord Lin approached step by step, his face close to his: "What do you mean, 'you'? You have no ambition, are blind and stupid, and your brain doesn't work. If I were you, I would have already found a wall to smash my head against and died. How could I still have the face to live in this world?"

Renbao was woken up. She looked up, rubbed her eyes, and a look of shock appeared on her chubby little face.

Is this still the same smiling, incredibly kind Grandpa Lin from yesterday?

Today's damage is extremely high!

Noticing she was awake, Duke Lin immediately looked at her, his expression changing completely. He said gently, "Renbao, who else has bullied you in court? Tell me their names, and today Grandpa Lin will give them a good scolding!"
