When Prefect Lu heard the Shu father and son asking about this, he could not help but get angry.

"Hmph." Prefect Lu snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Master Shu. He placed the silver ingot on the table and said to the Shu father and son, "You two really have the guts to frame me!"

When Old Master Shu heard this, the hairs on his body stood on end. He knew exactly what kind of person this Prefecture Lord Lu was. If he offended him, then not only would he be rich, even the tomb of his ancestors would be dug out by this Prefect.

Old Master Shu quickly pulled his son. The two of them knelt down in front of Prefect Lu with a 'putong' sound, kowtowing to beg for forgiveness.

"My Lord!" This little one doesn't dare! This lowly one has no enmity with the Lord, moreover, I am relying entirely on the Lord to achieve this peaceful family business, so why would I do such a foolish thing? " Master Shu said with a sullen face while Shu Lin was scared silly.

In fact, Prefect Lu was only probing the two, he didn't really want to punish them for their crimes. Prefect Lu saw their reactions and knew that they were not lying. It seemed that the two of them didn't know much about old man Wang.

Prefect Lu saw the two of them kowtowing to him and felt annoyed. He waved his hand, signaling the two of them to hurry back. The Shu father and son were full of questions after they heard what Prefect Lu had to say. However, when they saw Prefect Lu was in a bad mood, they did not dare to ask. Thus, the father and son duo returned home dejectedly.

When he got home, the third son of the Guan family stepped forward to welcome him.

"Old master, young master, the two of you have returned. Do you want to eat something?" Manager Ding spoke to the two respectfully.

Old Master Shu waved his hand and said, "I have no appetite. You can leave for now. I'll call you if you need anything."

Ding San nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and said to Shu Lin, "That's right, Young Master, we have heard about that Old Man Wang you mentioned yesterday. We can't touch him, he has the backing of the capital, so we can't offend him."

Old Master Shu was stunned when he heard Ding San's words. He quickly called Ding San back to the living room and asked him a question. Ding San told him everything he knew.

Hearing that such a sloppy old man actually had the backing of the people from the Grand Dominance Manor supporting him, Old Master Shu not only broke out in a cold sweat, but also had cold sweat. Shu Lin felt a lingering fear in his heart. No wonder this old man acted so arrogantly that day. It was because there was someone above him!

Old Master Shu also understood why Prefect Lu had said that his father and son were framing him. Moreover, he could explain why a poor old man like old man Wang had so many years of government funds.

The father and son duo sat at the table and looked at each other. After a long while, Old Master Shu let out a long sigh of relief. He said to his son, "You, ah, what can your father say about you? Because you are so lustful and greedy, the wealth that my Shu Family had painstakingly accumulated over several generations, has almost fallen into your hands! "

Upon hearing these words, Shu Lin trembled in fear. "Putong!" He immediately knelt in front of his father. Old Master Shu thought for a moment before sighing, "Forget it, let it be like this for now. In the future, you are not allowed to harass others. Otherwise, you will be beaten up by then. Don't blame your father for not telling you in advance."

Just like this, Shu Lin obediently stayed at home for several months, returning the 600 taels of silver he had previously obtained from the embroidery lady. However, he was already used to being surrounded by flowers. Finally, after enduring for a few months, he couldn't take it anymore. He would also go out to look for the flowers from time to time, but he did not dare to offend the embroidery lady's family.

Just like that, a year or two passed peacefully. Until the year when the world turned upside down in the imperial court. Luo Tianhe had just died not too long ago, and Ye Feian's influence in the imperial court was like the sun in the sky. Ye Lianhe's alliance with the Guangling King Manor were both very low-key.

At this time, this news had also naturally reached the ears of the local rich and powerful families in the Ming Lin manor. On this day, Shu Lin and Meng Liang Qian Xi returned from outside the city on foot. Not far from him, he saw a woman dressed in heavy mourning clothes, crying as she made her way home.

Meng Liang and Qian Xi only felt that this woman was extremely beautiful. Her skin was like ice and her bones were like jade, and her beauty was unparalleled. They could not help but marvel at her beauty. But the person most shocked was Shu Lin, because Shu Lin recognized him at a glance. This person was none other than the little embroidery girl that he had been dreaming about day and night.

In just one or two years, Little Xiu Niang had become more and more beautiful. Shu Lin wanted to look at her again, but unexpectedly, the embroidery lady turned the corner and left his sight.

That night, Shu Lin tossed and turned, his mind filled with the image of the embroidery lady that he had seen earlier in the day. He tossed and turned for an entire night until the sun was about to rise before he finally managed to fall asleep.

The next day, Shulin took a set of coarse hemp clothes from a servant, put them on over his own clothes, and quietly sneaked into the alley where he liked girls.

Shulin felt itchy all over in his linen clothes. He had lived in luxury since he was young and had never worn such coarse clothing. Therefore, he had to scratch his body after taking two steps forward.

The moment one of them saw him take a few steps, they would start scratching him. They thought that he had lice on him, so they hid far away from him. Soon, Shu Lin arrived not far from the door of the embroidery lady's house. He saw that the door of the embroidery lady's house was open. A white paper couplet was pasted on the front of the door, and a memorial tablet was placed in front of the room. With a glance, he could tell that the widow Zheng had died, leaving the embroidery lady to live alone.

Shu Lin was not far away and saw that the embroidery lady was crying with tears in her eyes. She looked even more beautiful and charming. When Shu Lin saw the beautiful look on her face, he felt even happier.

Just like this, he unknowingly watched for more than four hours. It wasn't until it was late in the night that Shu Lin finally returned home.

When he got home, Shu Lin stayed up all night again. The next day, Shu Lin made up his mind. He decided that he would properly meet with the embroidery lady and have a few words with her. Let her marry you.

The next day, after Shulin changed his clothes, he went to his embroidery mother's house. At this moment, there was only the servant girl at home. When the servant girl heard the footsteps behind her, she turned around to take a look.

When she turned around and saw Shu Lin, she was shocked. She pointed at him and shouted, "Catch that hooligan!"

With this shout, the neighbors surrounded him. Shu Lin was at a loss for words. After all, he had entered the house without permission first. At this moment, Shu Lin wanted to explain something, but he was kicked to the ground by an unknown person. Just like that, he was beaten up by a group of people, and in the end, there were some who were afraid that it would be difficult to explain if they were beaten to death.
