Chapter 280: Weighing by the pound...

Wuwei Marquis Mansion Study

Lord Lin looked at the note on the desk and was extremely speechless. They didn't even inform me in advance, but asked me to do something with just a note.

Butler Feng stood aside, covering his mouth. "Our young lady wants to go back to the mansion to play hide-and-seek. I asked you to clear the place..."

Captain Li, the guard, looked at the roof and the ground, but didn't look at the Marquis.

You deserve it! I told you to deal with these messy people in the mansion a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Look, now I'm driving you crazy!

Lord Lin waved the note in his hand, "Li Kai went to clear out everyone in the backyard of the mansion. Take their sons and leave. All the secret passages have been uncovered..."

"Oh, by the way, Housekeeper Feng, notify the biological fathers of those children to come and pick them up. Since those children aren't listed in the family tree anyway, they can just take them away directly."

"Bring the account book with you too. When they come to pick up the kids, they'll settle the bill. Raising so many kids is such a waste of money!"

Lord Lin lay down on the rocking chair and began to sigh, "What a miserable life! What is my daughter trying to do? Didn't we have a good chat at dinner yesterday?"

Steward Feng frowned, lost in thought, muttering to himself, "What exactly is the young lady trying to do? Are you trying to uncover the mysterious treasure because you're in urgent need of money?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Lin on the side straightened up, his eyes deep and solemn, as if he was thinking about something important.

After a moment, he whispered, "Perhaps this is indeed possible. Could it be that this little girl knows some unknown secrets?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously stroked the exquisite ball hanging on his body.

This exquisite ball has a total of twenty-four layers, but it is slightly inferior to the thirty-six-layer one presented to His Majesty the Emperor.

The most important thing is that these two exquisite balls both come from that mysterious treasure land.

As for how they were able to get in, it is a mystery that no one can solve.

Thinking of his own daughter, Lord Lin couldn't help but feel helpless.

She was really like a small hand. Although the gap was small, the noise it caused was enough to make people jaw-dropping.

She even disregarded the title bestowed by the emperor, saying it was useless and claiming that having Lord Lin as her father was enough.

As for the exact location of the treasure, even the wandering rangers kept their mouths shut.

My daughter had no memory of the journey there, and only vaguely said that everything needed to wait for the right opportunity to come, and the passage would naturally open up when the time came. Such a statement was really too mysterious and unpredictable...

……

Outside the study of the Marquis' Mansion, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

The sunlight fell on the ground, but it could not dispel the depressing atmosphere.

I saw a row of people kneeling there straight, with their heads lowered, not daring to move at all.

At this moment, Lord Lin slowly approached. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step carried a sense of majesty and momentum.

When he walked in front of the crowd, he stopped and glanced around, making people shudder.

"Don't tell me you don't know or aren't clear about that."

Lord Lin's voice was deep and magnetic, but the chill in it made everyone present tremble. "You should know that everything you do in your daily life cannot escape my eyes."

Then he turned his gaze to Mrs. Yu in the crowd, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Madam Yu, once the accounts have been settled, I will take you and Qin Shou away! After all, I have saved your three sons."

Hearing this, Yu suddenly raised her head, her face filled with fear. Her body trembled involuntarily, like a dead branch swaying in the wind.

Looking at the seemingly gentle but actually cold-blooded Lord Lin in front of her, she felt a chill rising from her spine and spreading throughout her body in an instant.

At this moment, Yu was filled with regret and fear. She had stayed with such a secretive man for ten years without realizing his true face.

Could it be that she was the fool who had no vision? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.

Lord Lin ignored Yu's reaction and turned to walk towards the Marquis's wife.

He came in front of her, lowered his head slightly, and looked into her beautiful eyes affectionately.

However, the Marquis's wife felt unprecedented pressure, and even breathing became difficult.

"You must know clearly who the son next to you belongs to. But you may not know that the cruel woman not only switched our daughter, but also cruelly abandoned her."

At this point, Lord Lin suddenly stood up, his voice like thunder, filled with endless anger and grief: "That was an innocent child who had just been born! The only bloodline of my mansion!"

His eyes were bloodshot and his chest was heaving violently, as if he was about to erupt with all the anger in his heart.

"You actually drugged her, putting her in a coma for five years! For five whole years, I waited day and night, praying to God for help, and finally she woke up and gradually recovered. And all this is thanks to you!"

Lord Lin pointed at the person in front of him in anger, his fingers trembling slightly.

"You are a cruel and vicious woman, you deserve to die! Go back to your Gu family right now! Don't show up in front of me again!" Lord Lin roared at the top of his lungs.

At this time, Mrs. Lin Hou was already in a trance, standing there as if struck by lightning.

When she learned that the girls she had frequently brought into her house over the years were not her real daughters, she completely collapsed.

She wanted to grab Lord Lin like a madman and ask him why he knew all this but hid it from her.

However, Lord Lin just looked coldly at the woman who had lost her mind, with an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with her reaction at the moment.

Humph, this is just the beginning. You'll have a lot of suffering to endure in the future. Just like our precious daughter said, this is called mental torture...

Then, he raised his foot without hesitation and kicked the marquis' wife who was trying to approach him. The marquis' wife screamed and fell to the ground.

Lord Lin turned around without looking back and strode towards the other people.

"The Bai family, the Qin family, the Zhen family, the Shen family, and the Gu family..."

Lin Hou whispered the names of these families, as if every word contained endless profound meaning.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an elusive expression.

Then, he changed the subject: "Well, I have to say, you guys are really ingenious! The secret passage was dug so exquisitely, and the location is so accurate.

I never expected the secret passages you dug would overlap. Could it be that all of this was the result of careful planning and consultation?

Are you planning to treat my mansion as merchandise and weigh it by the kilogram?"

At this point, a sneer appeared on Lin Hou's lips, but that smile made people feel creepy and as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

He continued, "You come and go every day, and you're so enthusiastic about this matter that you simply never get tired of it.

Even the legendary stories told by storytellers can't compare to the splendour of your tricks. Humph!

I really don’t know whether to say you are too smart or extremely stupid.”

At this moment, Lin Hou exuded a powerful pressure, which made the air around him seem to solidify.

Everyone present felt a suffocating sense of oppression and did not dare to speak out easily.

Steward Feng came over and bowed. "Everyone has come to pick up their children. The accounts have been settled! The total is 5.74 million taels of silver."

Lord Lin nodded and said, "Everything in the mansion is recorded. Watch them move. We can't give our things to others. Donate them to charity in the future!"

Steward Feng chased them away, "The Marquis was so generous. He didn't drown you, nor did he imprison you. He even allowed your family to be reunited. What else can you be dissatisfied with? Shouldn't you be secretly smiling?"

These people who were driven out were extremely angry when they saw that the housekeeper, who was usually very respectful to them, actually drove them out like this.

The housekeeper Uncle Feng looked at them and sneered at them madly.

"You really think you're the young master of the Marquis' Mansion. Who is the one who usually speaks sweet nothings to your father when he meets him?

Who was it that helped his mother cover up the truth and drugged the maids in the mansion?

Who is the one who is going to kill the guard and the coachman if he is discovered? Do you really think that no one will notice what you did?"

Butler Uncle Feng complained, "They're a bunch of idiots. They can't even act well, and they're constantly being criticized by the Second Young Master of the Tong Family..."
