C12 Let My Daughter Go

"Are you really... the bastard son of the Lin family of C City who married into the Chiang family?"

Loo Feng lost his composure.

The shock that Lin Xiao gave him was so great that he couldn't think straight when he spoke.

Any one of these four poems could be called a peerless masterpiece. Therefore, the way he looked at Lin Xiao now was completely different from before.

"Lin Xiao, you're so amazing!"

Some of the young geniuses opened their mouths to praise him, their eyes filled with admiration. The others also felt as if they were listening to Lin Xiao's poems and sweating profusely.

"Do you want to drink your own water or do you want me to help you?" Lin Xiao looked at Wang Mao coldly.

"Lin, don't go too far!"

"Wang Mao!" Magistrate Loo said coldly, and immediately, guards surrounded Wang Mao, " A gentleman's word is a horse's whip. Since you said those words just now, you should keep your word. Men, invite Wang Caijun to the deck, finish drinking the river water, and drive him off the ship."

The guards of the magistrate court held onto Wang Mao and pressed him down into the river. The continuous sobs and curses caused Cai Shaozhi's expression to turn extremely ugly.

He fumed with rage in his heart.

He originally wanted Lin Xiao to make a fool of himself in front of everyone, but he did not expect that... he would be able to stand out in front of Lord Loo for nothing.

This idiot really deserved to die!

The Orchid Poetry Club continued until it was rectified.

Magistrate Loo asked questions one after another, and Lin Xiao was forced to compose three poems, stunning everyone on the spot. Even when they got off the boat, Magistrate Loo kept on asking Lin Xiao about the meaning of his poems.

"It's already late today. If there's a chance in the future, I'll light a candle with Lord Loo again."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he brought Chiang Jiao along with him to get off the boat and return to the Chiang family.

On the way.

"When did you become proficient in poetry? Why don't I know anything about it?" Chiang Jiao said in surprise. She couldn't help but want to ask when Lin Xiao made the second poem, but with Lord Loo present, she couldn't speak.

Grandfather Jiang loved poetry very much, and Chiang Jiao had been influenced by him since she was young, so he was also quite proficient in it.

The four poems that Lin Xiao had written, as well as the three that he had written later, were all the best of the best. If news of this got out, it would definitely shock the scholars of the Chu Dynasty.

"Did you really write these poems?" Chiang Jiao's eyes were filled with doubt, but in her heart, she hoped that Lin Xiao was indeed talented.

Lin Xiao was silent.

These poems were personally taught by his mother when he was young.

Lin Xiao's silence destroyed the hope in Chiang Jiao's heart.

"The most important thing about being a person is to know your own self reflection. I'll let it go this time, but in the future, don't use other people's things to increase your prestige."

When he got home, the night was silent.

The next morning, Lin Xiao went to the Crane Hall again. First of all, he was going to get the medicine for Mrs Liu. Second, he wanted to ask about refining medicine for Duan Nantian's youngest son.

"Sir, when this medicine is refined, not only is there no bitter aura, but its fragrance even permeates the air, causing one's spirit to increase by several times. I wonder what its name is?" Tang Hetong was extremely respectful.

"Minor Origin Returning Pill."

"Little Returning Origin Pill... Good name, good name!" Tang Hetong was so excited that his face turned red, "Sir is truly a god. If this place is born, it will definitely shock the medical field."

Lin Xiao smiled and left the Crane Hall.

As soon as he entered the entrance of the Chiang family, he heard a commotion coming from the main hall.

"Second Uncle, don't blame me for being unreasonable. It was your daughter who found a useless husband that her grandmother didn't like. What can I do about your family not being liked by the old lady?"

"I came today to take back the account book. Grandmother also said that from today onwards, your daughter doesn't need to go to the satin house anymore. She should stay at home and reflect on her mistakes."

"Hehe, it's not that I'm criticizing you, Second Uncle, but is that Young Master Cai someone you can afford to offend?"

Lin Xiao's expression changed drastically.

It was Chiang Rui's voice.

Chiang Rui coveted the Chiang family's ancestral industry and had wanted to kick Chiang Jiao away for a long time. Mrs. Wen did order Chiang Rui to take over the B City ancestral industry, but not now.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao strode into the hall.

"Yo, isn't this Lin Xiao? It's not even noon yet, and he's already back to eat for free? I really envy you. You don't do any proper work all day long, and you even have food and wine to eat. " Seeing Lin Xiao at the door, Chiang Rui's eyes were filled with disdain.

Lin Xiao swept his gaze across the other three people in the hall.

Chiang Jiao's bright eyes were slightly red and her expression was stubborn. Chiang Ruhai's face was pale and angry, but he did not dare to say anything. Mrs Liu sat paralyzed on the chair.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Chiang Rui's face.

"Grandmother asked me to take care of the ancestral business of B City. I'm here today to collect the books. Lin Xiao, from today onwards, Chiang Jiao is nothing. I want to see how she will protect you in the future." Chiang Rui said proudly.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiao grabbed the account book on the table and threw it at Chiang Rui's face.

"Take the account book and scram."

"Idiot, do you want to die?" Chiang Rui, whose face was injured, was furious. He reached out and locked Lin Xiao's throat.

Before he could even touch Lin Xiao, Chiang Rui was kicked out of the hall with a bang.

"You dare to hit me, you idiot. I won't argue with you today, but just you wait!" Chiang Rui got up, held the account book, and left in a sorry state.

Only now did Mrs Liu and Chiang Ruhai react. Lin Xiao had actually beaten up Chiang Rui and given Chiang Rui the account book that he treated Chiang Jiao like his life!

"Look what you've done!"

Mrs Liu jumped up crazily, "Lin Xiao, other than causing trouble for the family every day, what else can you do? I don't ask you to give my daughter wealth, but can you not harm my daughter!"

"Mother-in-law..." Lin Xiao was about to say something.

Chiang Ruhai, who was over forty years old, actually kneeled down on the ground with a plop: "I beg you, I beg you, please let my family go, let my daughter go, as long as you can divorce my daughter, I will kowtow to you, okay?"

Lin Xiao wanted to help Chiang Ruhai, but Mrs Liu pushed him away.

"Who told you to show off at the Orchid Poetry Club yesterday? Of all the people you could have provoked, you chose to provoke Young Master Cai. When the matriarch found out about this matter, she took out her anger on my daughter and even refused to let her go to the satin shop!" Mrs Liu cried and cursed, "Do you want me to kneel down and beg you too? If you still have any humanity, let my daughter live!"

"Enough!" Chiang Jiao stood up angrily, his eyes filled with stubbornness.

"Whether it is the ancestral business of the Chiang family or the satin farm, it is my fortune to have it and my fate to lose it. If it's gone, then it's gone. We have hands and feet, how can we starve to death?"

"Daughter, now that the entire B City knows that you were kicked out by the Chiang Clan, Chiang Rui and his son are ruthless. Will they let others tolerate you?" Chiang Ruhai said anxiously.

Chiang Jiao's expression dimmed.

Her father was right. Chiang Rui and his son were ruthless in their actions. They would definitely do something like uprooting the roots. With their relationship as father and son, just a simple greeting from them would make sure that no one in B City would dare to use her.

"Right now, our family will only be able to live a good life if you and Lin Xiao divorce each other. That young master of the Cai family is only scaring you. As long as you sever your relationship with Lin Xiao and marry into the Cai family, even the old lady will have to look at our family's face!" Mrs Liu cried and begged.

"Chiang Jiao, if you want..." Lin Xiao wanted to speak.

"Shut up." Chiang Jiao said word by word, "Even if I starve to death on the streets, I will never agree to divorce, much less use my marriage as a condition for charity from others."

"Also, Mother, I hope you understand that even if I divorce Lin Xiao, I will never choose Cai Shaozhi. Don't make things difficult for Lin Xiao. This is my own idea and has nothing to do with him."

At this moment.

Chiang Jiao raised her head and met Lin Xiao's determined gaze.

"Don't worry. No matter how Chiang Rui took the account book today, he will return it tomorrow." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "This is my promise to you."
