Thinking of this, Lin Jiazhong hastily gave Lao Fan a bow, his demeanor becoming a trace more respectful, "May I ask if the elder gentleman is here from Shande Hall?

The matter at hand is a domestic issue of the Lin family.

I hope the elder gentleman could do us a favor by not intervening unnecessarily, could you please? "

"Shande Hall?" Lao Fan snorted through his nose, clearly not taking that pretentiously virtuous place seriously, "That shabby place is fit to invite me? They really have no eyesight!"

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but snicker, Lao Fan truly didn’t disappoint her, shutting Lin Jiazhong up with his first remark.

Upon hearing Lao Fan insult his eyesight, Lin Jiazhong became internally furious. Then, realizing that Lao Fan was not from Shande Hall, his previous respectful attitude evaporated instantly.

"If that’s the case, then please finish treating the patient and leave quickly. The domestic affairs of Lin family’s Hollow do not require interference from an outsider!"

This was clearly an order to leave.

Lin Yuan, with arms folded, watched the commotion leisurely and then slowly remarked, "Oh? Since it’s a matter of Lin family’s Hollow, elder sir, you really shouldn’t meddle. Might as well be on your way promptly."

Provoked by her words, Lao Fan’s competitive spirit was stirred.

His white beard bristled as he glared with his mung bean eyes and huffed, "What family matter of yours? You’ve captured my apprentice and now you want to send me off!

What kind of logic is that! I’ve lived most of my life, I’ve seen all sorts of people, but it’s my first time encountering such unreasonable and troublesome folk like you!

Humph, I won’t leave! I won’t leave at all! "

Saying this, he picked up a small stool that Lin Jiaxiao had knocked over, plonked down on it, and didn’t budge an inch.

Having achieved her goal, Lin Yuan secretly smiled and said no more.

Lady Ma, however, was the first to retort, "Troublesome? Calling us troublesome when you’re the one that’s about to die of old age?

You’re the one causing trouble! Don’t you realize who I am?

I am the official wife’s biological mother!

Biological mother! Once my daughter marries into the Master Magistrate’s household, I’ll see to it that I deal with you, you old troublemaker! "

There was suddenly a commotion at the doorway, and Lady Ma turned her head to see that it was her treasured daughter, Lin Siyu, arriving. She immediately broke into a beaming smile, rushed over to grab her daughter’s hand tightly, and pulled her into the courtyard.

"Look! Look! This is the future official wife! You old fossil, open your eyes wide and see clearly who’s the one lacking foresight!"

Lin Siyu had heard from her mother in the early morning about catching an adulterer at her second uncle’s place and she was eager to join.

However, her mother said it was best not to wander around before getting married because it wouldn’t look good to the Master Magistrate.

Yet, after waiting at home for so long without anyone returning, her curiosity got the better of her, and she had sneaked over to take a peek.

Fortunately, her mother wasn’t angry with her.

But with her own cunning, Lin Siyu could tell that the news of her marrying into the Master Magistrate’s family must have spread.

Seeing the villagers’ eyes full of envy and admiration, Lin Siyu felt her life was complete.

The life she had led, rarely stepping out of the inner family quarters, had finally paid off.

And as for that Little Disaster Star, on the day she married in glory, Lin Siyu intended to have her kneel and support her sedan chair—to step on her back whilst being carried in her palanquin!

But before she could even bask in the villagers’ compliments, Lin Siyu’s beautiful dream was about to shatter.

Lao Fan cast a sidelong glance at Lin Siyu as she entered the gate, smirked, and disdainfully said, "Another worthless vase."

"You old fart! Who are you calling worthless!

" Having been pampered from a young age, Lin Siyu could not tolerate the slightest grievance and immediately barked back fiercely, her voice a dead ringer for her mother’s when she fought in the streets, causing the surrounding villagers who were watching the scene to shake their heads in disapproval.
