son, don't mess around

In Linjiang City.

On the streets, fully armed city defense soldiers were standing on both sides to maintain order, and the streets were filled with common people who came to watch the excitement, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the Prince Lin.

The news of Prince Lin's return spread as fast as wings, causing the streets in the city to be crowded and chaotic.

The "Linjia Army" in black armor was majestic and guarded the carriage closely. The man leading the way on horseback was Wu Yue.

Wu Yue sat on the horse with an expressionless face, looking ahead, thinking about something in his deep eyes.

Until suddenly there was a commotion among the noisy crowd.

"Your Highness, please make the decision for me!"

A sharp and miserable voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure was seen squeezing out from the crowd, staggering into the street, and falling to his knees with a thud.

Wu Yue, who was concentrating his thoughts, suddenly came to his senses and reined in his horse!

"Stop!"

He spoke suddenly.

The carriage behind him was also forced to stop.

"who?!"

Wu Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked forward.

Today, the prince of Lin is going home. Who in Linjiang City dares to block his way?

In front of him, a woman in her sixties appeared. She was hunched over, with tattered clothes. She was kneeling in front of him, her head hitting the floor, crying and sobbing.

"Please ask His Royal Highness to help me!"

The voice was pitiful, and he shouted out in a hoarse voice.

The sound was so loud, as if it had exhausted all the strength in the body, and it was still clear even in the chaotic and noisy environment.

Of course!

There seemed to be a brief silence around for a moment, and the next second, it was instantly boiling with noise.

"Oh my god, who is that? How dare you block the way of Prince Lin? Are you looking for death?"

"Who is it? Seeking justice for the dog prince? Isn't this just a joke?"

"Wait, that old woman looks familiar? I seem to have seen her a few days ago. She went to the government office to report that her son was beaten to death!"

"Hiss...beaten to death? Wait, is this the man whose wife was robbed a few days ago?"

"It seems so. I heard that his wife was snatched away by someone, and he went to argue but was severely beaten. When he wanted to report to the government, he was retaliated and beaten to death..."

"Hiss, how pitiful! Who could be so cruel?"

"When you mentioned it, I seemed to remember it. It was something that happened a few days ago, right? Chen..."

"Hush, do you want to die?"

"..."

This sudden scene attracted everyone's attention on the surrounding streets.

No one expected that someone would actually dare to stop Prince Lin in the street!
This scene makes people feel a little dazed!

No, isn’t this damn prince the biggest scourge of Linjiang City?
Seek justice from him?

Is there any royal law for this?

Everyone's sighing eyes fell on the old woman who was blocking the carriage on the street.

The old woman looked to be around sixty years old, with grey hair, a haggard face full of wrinkles, and her clothes were tattered, making her look miserable.

So pitiful!
Her hunched body blocked the carriage, forming a sharp contrast with the tall horse. If she had not stopped in time, the horse's hooves would have almost trampled her.

"Shhhhhh!"

At the moment when the old woman appeared, several figures in black armor appeared in front of her at an extremely fast speed. The swords at their waists were unsheathed and surrounded her.

Murderous!
"who?!"

"How dare you stop His Royal Highness from riding? Do you know your crime?!"

The tone was cold and emotionless, filled with murderous intent.

It seemed that in the next second, this old woman would be eliminated!

Faced with such oppressive and fierce murderous aura, the old woman trembled all over, but still knelt there, her head hitting the hard ground heavily, her voice trembling and hoarse with grief.

"I have been wronged. I beg Your Highness to seek justice for me!"

"My son died tragically, my daughter-in-law was kidnapped, my family was destroyed, and I have no way to report it to the authorities..."

"I am guilty. I am here to stop His Highness today. I hope His Highness will show mercy and seek justice for me!"

"Please, Your Highness. I kowtow to you..."

There was an uproar and a lot of discussion all around. On the street, the hunchbacked old woman stood in front of the carriage and hit her head heavily on the ground, bleeding profusely.

In front of him was the murderous aura lingering around the pitch-black armor.

On horseback, Wu Yue frowned and said expressionlessly: "Take him away."

"Yes!"

His Highness is returning home today and should not be disturbed by anyone. Just as the guard was about to step forward to deal with it, a voice came from behind.

"Wait first!"

"..."

Inside the carriage.

Lin Jiangnian was a little puzzled when he was stopped on the street.

Especially when he heard Lin Qingqing come to report that... a sixty-year-old woman came to him to seek justice.

Avenge?

Come to him?
Who doesn't know what kind of existence the Prince of Lin is in Linjiang City?
That doesn't have a good reputation at all!

In the eyes of the people of Linjiang City, the Prince of Lin is an absolute scourge. He relies on his father being the Prince of Lin to do whatever he wants and bully the people.

It would be fine if he didn't create injustice, but why do people come to him to seek justice?
It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
"Your Highness, how should we deal with this?"

Lin Qingqing asked.

Lin Jiangnian thought about it for a moment, but he still didn't understand what had happened.

But he had just returned to Linjiang City, and someone came in public to stop him from seeking justice, which made people suspicious.

"I'll go take a look!"

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Jiangnian made a decision immediately.

However, before getting up, Lin Jiangnian thought of something and turned to look inside the carriage, where An Ning was sitting quietly by the side with a cold face.

Before he could even open his mouth, Jinxiu, who was standing beside him, noticed it instantly and asked warily, "What are you looking at An Ning for?!"

When An Ning saw His Highness looking at her, she was also slightly stunned and looked a little unnatural.

"An Ning, can you do me a favor?"

Lin Jiangnian ignored Jinxiu's vigilant gaze and looked at An Ning.

"Wha, what are you busy with?"

"Come with me, I'll provide you with personal protection... Hey, Jinxiu, what are you doing? Stop it!"

"..."

The car curtain opens.

Lin Jiangnian walked out of the carriage, and behind him, the twin sisters Jinxiu and An Ning walked out.

An Ning held the sword in her arms, her fair face looked a little unnatural, and she lowered her eyes slightly. Jin Xiu, who was standing beside her, was slightly angry, and stood with An Ning, following behind Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, the streets were in chaos and the city defense soldiers on the streets were trying their best to maintain order and prevent any further accidents.

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward, his eyes falling on the street ahead, where an old woman surrounded by black-armored guards was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You guys step back first." Lin Jiangnian said.

The black-armored guard did not move, and looked at Wu Yue standing beside him.

Wu Yue frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this person's origin is unknown and he may be in danger. Let's leave this matter to the government."

"If the government was useful, why would she come to me?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Wu Yue.

"This……"

Wu Yue frowned even deeper.

"Why, is it that my words have no effect?"

Lin Jiangnian's tone remained nonchalant.

But Wu Yue's heart was slightly shaken. He glanced at Lin Jiangnian and calmed his mind.

"My subordinates dare not!"

Then he waved his hand: "Everyone, leave."

The black-armored guard retreated.

An Ning and Jinxiu followed behind Lin Jiangnian. An Ning turned a blind eye to the scene and didn't care. All her eyes were focused on Lin Jiangnian in front of her. At the same time, she looked around vigilantly to prevent any danger from approaching His Highness.

Jinxiu silently took in this scene.

It seems that there are many people in Prince Lin's Palace who do not recognize His Highness's status...

A hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes, but quickly disappeared.

After the black-armored guards retreated, Lin Jiangnian walked up to the old woman.

This is an old woman with gray hair, hunched over and extremely thin. Judging from her clothes, her family is obviously not well off.

He looked disheveled, with an old face that looked like he would collapse at any moment. His eyes were red and swollen, blood was flowing from his forehead, and he was immersed in grief.

When she heard footsteps approaching, the old woman slowly raised her head. When she saw Lin Jiangnian, she trembled all over and her voice became more intense; "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"This old lady greets His Highness..."

"I beg Your Highness to seek justice for this old woman..."

As she spoke, she knelt in front of Lin Jiangnian again and knocked her head heavily to the ground.

"Old man, please get up first."

Lin Jiangnian did not step forward, but looked at the old woman quietly: "Do you recognize this prince?"

"I have seen His Highness's portrait..."

The old woman's voice was hoarse and trembling, and she looked extremely haggard, as if she had been crying for a long time and was exhausted. "I have finally waited for Your Highness to come back. Please ask Your Highness for justice for me. I kowtow to you..."

The old woman's tone was agitated and somewhat incoherent, as if she was grasping at her last straw, and she continued to kowtow to Lin Jiangnian.

“Old people don’t have to do this.”

Lin Jiangnian shook his head but did not step forward.

Unsure of the old woman's identity and origin, he remained vigilant.

"You stopped me on the street and told me what grievance you have."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and said, "If you can't explain it clearly, I will not let you off easily."

Hearing this, the old woman trembled all over, as if the grievances she had felt for so many days suddenly surged into her heart, and her voice became hoarse and screaming.

"Your Highness, this old woman has been wronged greatly!"

"The old woman's daughter-in-law was taken away by someone, and her son went to seek justice but was beaten to death..."

"The old woman reported the matter to the authorities, but they drove her out and even her house was ransacked..."

"I am really at my wit's end..."

"Your Highness, please make the decision for this old woman..."

"..."

"Damn it!"

In the city, in a street teahouse.

When he saw the scene blocking the road ahead from a distance, Chen Junru's face in the box suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Isn't this the old woman?"

"She's crazy, trying to block Lin Jiangnian's way?"

"Want to find Prince Lin to support her and redress her injustice?!"

For a moment, the eyes of the other playboys in the box all turned to Chen Junru.

Obviously, everyone present knew what was going on.

This matter should have been resolved. With the power of the Chen family in Linjiang City, ordinary people would have no chance of winning.

The family whose wife was robbed by Chen Junru was originally just an ordinary family in Linjiang City, without any power or foundation. Under normal circumstances, it was not worth taking seriously.

But no one expected that Prince Lin would come back at this time!

What was even more unexpected was that the old woman was so ignorant of the danger that she actually stopped the Prince Lin’s car to protest her innocence?
"Is she mentally ill? Prince Lin would care about such a trivial matter as hers?!"

At first, Chen Junru thought so too, but when he saw the carriages stop on the street in the distance and Lin Jiangnian's figure appeared, Chen Junru finally could not sit still!
"Quick, find someone to take care of her for me, drag her away, and don't let her talk nonsense!!"

Chen Junru felt uneasy.

Although he was not worried, his father had already handled the matter properly and there was no evidence left.

But Chen Junru still felt a little uneasy, and the source of all this uneasiness came from... Lin Jiangnian!

Chen Junru's face turned pale and he stood up immediately.

"No, I'll go check it out!"

After saying that, Chen Junru went downstairs.

The other playboys in the box looked at each other in bewilderment.

"what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Let's watch the show!"

"Chen Junru is really panicking now. If he is really targeted by Prince Lin, it will be very interesting!"

"No way, Lin Jiangnian would care about such a small matter? He himself is not a good guy. Isn't it funny that the old woman is looking for him to seek justice?"

"That's hard to say!"

One of the playboys had a meaningful look on his face: "Now that the life and death of Prince Lin is unknown, the Prince Lin's Mansion is in danger, how can the Prince Lin jump around?"

"But we may not be able to do anything to the Chen family..."

"..."

On the streets.

The old woman trembled and tearfully recounted her grievances.

My family was originally ordinary citizens in Linjiang City. My son was filial and married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the family lived in harmony.

Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law was spotted and snatched away by someone when she was out on the street a month ago. When her son learned the news, he went to the house to argue, but was beaten and bedridden.

The son was so angry that he went to the county government office to report the case, but was stopped outside the gate because his case was not accepted. In a rage, the son prepared to go to the Linwang Mansion to seek justice, but before he arrived at the Linwang Mansion, he was stopped by a group of thugs and was beaten up. He was seriously injured and died within two days of returning home!

The originally happy and harmonious family was shattered in an instant.

The old woman was heartbroken and wanted to seek justice for her son and daughter-in-law. She went to the government office to report the case, but was still turned away and had no way to appeal.

How could a powerless person like her fight against a powerful family?
With nowhere else to go, the old woman heard from a kindhearted person that the prince of Lin was about to return home. So she waited for a long time, and finally waited until the prince of Lin came back, and then she dared to stop the carriage in the street.

She wanted to beg Prince Lin to redress her grievances and give her justice!
After listening to the tearful description of the old woman, Lin Jiangnian's face showed no reaction. Instead, Jinxiu and An Ning, who were following behind Lin Jiangnian, were the first to be moved.

"Strongly robbing a woman, treating her life as nothing... Is there any law in this?!"
