Lus's older brother, Luyu, was the eldest grandson of the Lu family in Suzhou. He wouldn't go fight with his classmates, but he could warn Luzhuo for his sister's sake.

  For such a small matter, Lin Yuhong was troubled by a little girl, and if it got out, he would be embarrassed. Lu Zhuo wouldn't even bother with him if his surname wasn't Lu.

  Lu Yu's attitude can be regarded as the Lu family's attitude, and Zhou Tong and others can only retreat in defeat, but once they leave the school and go to the foot of the mountain, what they do is their own business.

  It started raining just after noon and didn't stop until school was over, fortunately it wasn't too late, so everyone huddled together reading books and chatting while waiting for the rain to stop.

  "My family's new house will be completed soon, we're moving in on the 12th of next month, everyone must come to help me warm up the house then."

  "It's just a rest day, you've actually chosen a good day."

  Zhou Shu Ya proudly said: "I deliberately chose it, otherwise you wouldn't have had time to pass."

  Choi Rong sighed, "My family's other house is only half built, I don't know when we can move in."

  "What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine." Lin Yubin emphasized: "My little aunt hasn't even decided whether to sell it to you yet."

  Lu Ling suddenly burst out laughing and pushed her away, saying: "We're all family, what can't be said? Everyone knows that the other courtyard was built for my aunt."

  Lin Yuhbin pursed his lips and didn't speak. His sister had said that doing something was one thing, but not putting it into words was another matter altogether.

  Cui Rong saw that Lin Yuheng was unhappy, so he pulled Lu Ling and changed the subject: "We're going to the warm room, what should we bring?"

  "I'll give you a table screen, embroidered by myself."

  "Then I'll give you a painting, one that I painted myself..."

  Lin Yuhbin quietly got up and pulled Zhou Shuya's sleeve, and the two went out to talk.

  Lu Ling looked at the two people's backs and stuck out her tongue, whispering to Cui Rong, "Sister, is she mad at me?"

  "Don't think too much about it, she doesn't have such a big temper."

  "What's she going out for?"

  Cui Rong furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying: "She might not go to the Zhou family's warm house, but rather go and apologize to Shu Ya."

  "Why is that?"

  "How could you forget that she is still in mourning?" Cui Rong said in a low voice, "Although reading books doesn't interfere with it, it's not good to drink and feast. When we go to the warm house, we will have to make merry and drink wine."

  Outside, Lin Yuhuan apologized to Zhou Shuya and explained that she couldn't come in person when warming up the house, and asked for her understanding.

  Zhou Shuya knew she was filial, so she wouldn't mind. She pulled her hand and comforted her with a few words, then turned to look inside the house. She couldn't help but whisper: "Yubin, Lu Ling didn't mean anything else, he's just impatient and hasty. Moreover, our fellow students are all trustworthy."

  Lin Yuhbin smiled and nodded, "Of course I know, and I'm not angry either. It's just that the other courtyard is indeed registered under my younger sister-in-law's name."

  Zhou Shuya smiled and pointed at the gradually brightening sky: "Look, the rain has stopped."

  "Let's hurry back home."

  Zhou Shuya let out a "heh" and laughed, "You're in such a hurry to leave even though your house is nearby. You go ahead, I'll play with them for a bit longer."

  Lin Yuhbin didn't insist, went in to pack things up, "The rain has stopped, are you leaving?"

  Shang Danlan immediately stood up and said: "Our home is far away, we should also leave."

  Tan Zhu and Tan Ju hastily got up, bid farewell to their classmates one by one, and the four sisters walked out together.

  "Hey cousin, what did you send to Zhou's house?" Dandan asked when they were far away from the classroom.

  "Shu Ya loves orchids, and I have several pots that are doing well. I plan to pick one out to give to her."

  Shang Danlan nodded slightly and asked her two sisters, "What about you?"

  "Let Second Sister choose first." Danzhu said casually.

  "Let's start with Si Mei first." Dan Lan looked at Dan Hua.

  Danhua puckered her mouth and said: "I have a box of strange stones collected, I plan to pick out ten pieces to give to her."

  "Wow, you're really generous! That stone box of yours, I couldn't even touch it normally."

  Danhua worried, "It's just unknown whether she likes it or not."

  Lin Yuhong smiled and said: "She's a refined person. I've seen those stones you have and liked them, let alone her?"

  Danhua felt slightly relieved and looked at Danlan.

  "Then I'll give her a chess set," said Danlan. "The one my brother bought for me two years ago, the pieces are very smooth now after I've polished them for a long time."

  "I'll give her a set of lake pens." Danzhu clapped his hands and laughed, "Adding to what they gave, I think Shu Ya's room decorations are enough, and the four treasures of the study are also complete."

  They arrived outside, and the drivers of both families had already prepared their carriages. Danzhu then pulled Lin Yubin along, saying: "You come with us first, I still have something to say to you."

  Lin Yuhong got on the Shang family's carriage.

  "Cousin, August 7th is grandma's birthday, are you coming?"

  Lin Yuheng was taken aback, thought for a moment and shook his head. "I'm in mourning, so I shouldn't be attending banquets anyway. Moreover, it's my great aunt's birthday, so I'll just put the gift together with the Lin family's gifts and send them over."

  "Then next time you have a holiday, you must go and see your grandmother. She misses you so much and has been talking about you all these days, saying that you never come home even though you're in Suzhou, it's not easy to meet up."

  Lin Yuhong's face turned red, and she lowered her head in shame. She went to school every day, and after school, there were many things to do, so during this time, she really hadn't thought about her maternal grandmother.

  It seemed that she hadn't gone to pay respects to her white-haired grandmother since they last met before the Dragon Boat Festival, which was really unfilial.

  Just as she was thinking, the carriage suddenly made a "bang" sound, Lin Yubin habitually fell forward, and Danlan, who was sitting beside her, also fell forward but still managed to steady herself. Seeing Lin Yubin fall, she subconsciously reached out and pulled her...

  Lin Yuhong was blocked like this, the force of the impact weakened, but still "thudded" against her forehead, and the three sisters of the Shang family stabilized their figures after being frightened, and hurriedly supported her to ask, "Sister Lin (cousin), how are you?"

  Lin Yuhbin covered his forehead, with a somewhat bewildered expression.

  The Lin family's carriage stopped behind, and Yingyan jumped out from inside and rushed over, anxiously asking, "What happened to the young lady?"

  The carman looked at the pit under the wheel and said with a bad face: "This is someone who deliberately dug it, and also laid dry grass on it. We pass by here every day, but we have never seen such a pit."

  The Lin family's coachman also rushed over, his face pale as he circled the carriage twice before staring fixedly at the thicket to the east.

  Yingyan had already helped Lin Yubin out, and seeing that he wasn't moving, she scolded him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the carriage over, Young Miss wants to go back and see the doctor."

  The three sisters of the Shang family also fell down, but none as seriously as Lin Yuhong. They quickly got up and surrounded her.

  The Lin family's carriage driver turned around, picked up a stone and weighed it in his palm, saying: "I think this hole looks like it was made by a wild beast, so I'm afraid the beast is still here, let me take a look."

  He finished speaking and threw the stone in his hand fiercely towards the bush, saying: "Let's see if those beasts are still here, it's best to drive them away, otherwise the people behind will suffer."

  A stone was thrown into the bushes, making a "thud" sound, and at the same time, there was also a cry of pain. Jing Yan was stunned, her eyes turned red with anger, she pushed Lin Yubin to Danlan's three sisters, jumped up and picked up the stones on the ground and threw them in, saying viciously: "Really, I heard the beast's cry, it's true that good people are bullied, what kind of beast dares to come out and bully people."

  A shrub cluster emitted a miserable cry of "ah", after a chaotic flash, several people jumped out and covered their faces to escape.

  Although everyone didn't see their faces, they recognized the clothes on them. Shang Dan pointed at one of them and said: "I recognize him, Zhou Tong was wearing that same outfit this morning."

  Several people were yelling and running down the mountain. Because they ran too fast, they fell several times. Lin Yubin couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Serves them right!"

  Danhua smiled and looked at Yingyan: "Lin sister, you have a good daughter."

  Yingyan immediately dropped the stone in her hand, clapped her hands, and stood obediently behind Lin Yubin with her head down.

  Lin Yuhuan glanced at her and smiled: "The Feng Qiu beside my cousin is also good."

  "Miss, your forehead is swollen, why don't you go back and let Dr. Xue take a look?"

  "Tell your cousin to hurry back, seeing a doctor is urgent." Shang Danlan instructed the coachman to pull the Shang family's carriage aside and let the Lin family's carriage go first.

  Lin Yuhbin then bid farewell and, just before leaving, took a glance at the pit and said: "Get someone to fill it up, lest others who come after us also fall in."

  "Don't worry, cousin."

  That pothole wasn't big, only about the size of a large bowl, but it was deep. The road was originally flat and smooth, but suddenly "bang" one side of the wheel sank in, and the impact force was not ordinary.

  Luckily, the driver slowed down due to the rain today, otherwise it would have been even worse.

  Lin Yuhu's injury was not serious, but his forehead had turned blue and swollen into a lump. Lin Qingyu looked at him with concern and told someone to soak a cotton cloth in well water for her to apply a cold compress before going to find the carriage driver to ask about what had happened.

  The driver assigned to Lin Yubin, Jiang Nan, was selected from the Lin family's guard team. He not only drove but also took on the responsibility of Lin Yubin's safety.

  At this time he was kneeling at the gate of Zhengyuan asking for punishment.

  Lin Qingwan didn't wake anyone up. "Can you tell who made the move? Were they targeting someone else, with Yuhun being just a pool fish, or was she the target?"

  Jiang Nan hung his head in shame.

  "That means you don't know either?"

  "It should be Zhou Tong and others from the Lu family," Jiang Nan said with his head down: "They have some conflicts with the young lady."

  "Should I?"

  Jiang Nan lowered his head, as a guard, words like "should" and "maybe" should not appear.

  Lin Qingyan's face was cold as she said: "Do you know why I specifically assigned you to be the driver for Young Miss?"

  "I know, it's for the sake of protecting big sister's safety."

  "Why must her safety be protected?" Lin Qingwen asked softly, "She's just a little girl, what danger could she possibly be in?"

  "Because she is the old master's only bloodline."

  Lin Qingwan snorted, "Is that all you can think of?"
