Chapter 147: Beating the Mandarin Ducks

Ever since he learned that Qin Keqing was the daughter of Prince Zhongyi, Lin Yun had wondered whether Xiangling might also be the orphan of Prince Zhongyi.

At the same time, he was also thinking about whether to find Xiang Ling and find out her life experience.

After arriving in Jinling, Lin Yun still couldn't make up his mind whether to send someone to find Xiangling.

It wasn't until he came back from Xue's house that he finally made up his mind that no matter who Xiang Ling was, he should find her first.

Back on the cruise ship, Lin Yun immediately called Xiao Mo and Du Sha over, told them about Zhen Yinglian's situation, and asked them to use the excuse of purchasing maids to go to the human trafficking place in the city to find Zhen Yinglian's whereabouts.

Xiao Mo never doubted or thought too much about what Third Master told him. He asked about Zhen Yinglian's situation and took Du Sha to find someone.



After sending the two people away, Lin Yun made himself a cup of tea and stood at the window to watch the performance on the stage outside.

Although the distance was a bit far, the cabin he lived in was on the top floor. Looking from a high position, he could still clearly see people showing off their talents on several stages.

From the audience seats below the stage, cheers could be heard from time to time.

Lin Yunzheng was watching with great interest when he suddenly heard several knocks on the door from outside.

"Please come in."

Lin Yun turned around and saw the warehouse door being pushed open, and the person who walked in was Divine Doctor Guo.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old man, if you don't want to go to the show, why are you here here?"

The old miracle doctor: "The ones appearing now are all little girls with mediocre qualifications. It's useless to look at them. I might as well come over and have a chat with you."

Lin Yun asked the old miracle doctor to sit down, and while making tea for him, he smiled and said, "You want to ask about Miss Liu, right?"

The old miracle doctor: "I can rest assured that you are doing your job."

"Well, you have learned how to flatter me."

"Go, go, go, I am not that kind of person."

After a pause, the old miracle doctor continued: "I heard that your father came to Yangzhou a few days ago. Does he have any objections to your marriage to Ke Qing?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "As long as there is no objection, my father will worry about where to make a home for us."

The old miracle doctor: "What's so embarrassing? You and your wife can live in peace in Yangzhou."

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "It would have been okay if my uncle hadn't been transferred, but it's probably not okay now. I heard from Brother Lian that after discussing with my uncle, my father and uncle are planning to buy a garden in Beijing so that we can get married in the capital."

Hearing this, the old miracle doctor frowned and said: "There are too many disputes in the capital, and you are not a trouble-maker. You will probably cause trouble there."

Lin Yun: "Everywhere there is right and wrong. I have thought clearly about it. I still have my uncle to take care of me in the capital, but no one can protect me in Yangzhou."

"This is true."

After a pause, the old miracle doctor said again: "I heard from Miss Liu that you want her to help you do business?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "If she finds someone to marry after she is redeemed, there will be no need for trouble. Now that there is no one to marry, she must find something to do."

The old miracle doctor: "It is not easy for a woman to do business."

"Whether it works or not, I have to let her try."

As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, he saw Jia Lian's young man Xing'er hurried in and said to him: "Young nephew, please go and have a look. Our second master has a quarrel with his friends."

Jia Lian disappeared as soon as he came back. Lin Yun guessed that he must have gone to the painting studio of Songzhu Pavilion to see Miss Yimei. Now that he heard that he had quarreled with others, it was not surprising.

It's common for men to get jealous over actors. What's more, Jia Lian drank a lot of wine at noon, so it was good that they didn't get into a fight.

After Lin Yun said goodbye to the old miracle doctor, he took Zhong Yi and Xing'er to the painting studio of Songzhu Pavilion.

There were quite a few maids and servants in the studio. As they walked along, everyone was whispering to each other, presumably talking about the quarrels between the guests inside.

Several people came to the top floor of the painting studio, and from a distance they heard Jia Lian's voice, "Old man, if you are sensible, get out of here, lest your second master has someone throw you into the lake."

Another old voice sounded, "I'm here today to see who dares to touch me."

Immediately, another woman's voice sounded, "Master Cao, Second Master Lian, please calm down and talk to me if you have anything to say."

Jia Lian: "Stop talking, if you don't drive the old man away today, I will dismantle your painting workshop as well."

Lin Yun quickly quickened his pace and walked into an elegant warehouse where a dispute was taking place.

When he went in, he saw a tense situation in the warehouse. Jia Lian and his long follower Zhaoer were confronting an old man in his fifties wearing brocade clothes. Beside them, Mama Liu from Songzhu Pavilion was trying to persuade the two to reconcile.

The girl Yimei who caused the conflict hid in the corner without saying a word. She must not have wanted to offend the two guests.

Seeing Lin Yun come in from the outside, Mother Liu smiled at him as if she had been saved and said: "Mr. Lin, you came just in time. Come and persuade Mr. Lian. We can discuss anything."

Lin Yunchong scolded Zhao'er: "What's wrong with you here? Get out quickly."

Zhaoer hurriedly exited the warehouse after hearing the sound. He was very clear about the interests of this young nephew. He would rather offend the second master than dare to contradict the young nephew.

After Zhao'er shouted back, Lin Yun raised his hands to the old man and said, "May I ask what your name is, sir?"

The old man glanced at him and said coldly: "Who are you?"

Lin Yun: "My surname is Lin Mingyun, and this is my elder brother."

"Oh, are you Lin Yun and Lin Ruoyu?"

Lin Yun was stunned when he heard the other person say the word Ruoyu. Lu Xingzhi came up with this word, and not many people outside knew about it.

He hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, old gentleman, what is your surname?"

The old man twirled his beard and said, "My surname is Cao, and my courtesy name is Shaoqian."

"Well,"

When Lin Yun heard that the other party was called Cao Shaoqian, he immediately became confused. Isn't this the Imperial Academy offering wine? How could he come to visit the art studio?

Jia Lian saw that his expression was wrong and asked quickly: "Brother Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yun hurriedly raised his hands to Cao Shaoqian and said, "I'm disturbing the old gentleman's enjoyment. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he took Jia Lian's arm and walked out of the warehouse.

Jia Lian said anxiously: "Brother Yun, who is he? Why are you so afraid of him."

Lin Yun lowered his voice and said: "Shut up, let's talk after we go out."

Jia Lian was reluctantly dragged out of the cabin by Lin Yun. When a few people came to the bottom deck, he immediately asked Lin Yun: "Who is this old man?"

Lin Yun: "He is the Jiujiu of the Imperial College in Jinling. Whether I can go to the Imperial College to study or not depends on him."

"ah!"

Jia Lian exclaimed in surprise, and then said angrily: "The Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine came to visit the art studio. It is really insulting to gentlemen."

Lin Yun advised: "Second Brother Lian, you'd better go back to Beijing as soon as possible."

Jia Lian said anxiously: "I haven't redeemed myself for Miss Yimei yet."

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Haven't you seen it yet? Cao Jijiu appears here just to stop you from redeeming yourself for Miss Yimei."

Jia Lian looked confused and said: "How do you say this?"

Lin Yun: "Didn't you notice just now? You and Cao Jijiu had a dispute. What was Miss Yimei's attitude? Is she on your side?"

Jia Lian said awkwardly: "Is she afraid of offending the guests?"

Lin Yun said angrily: "If she is determined to leave with you, is she still afraid of offending the guests?"

"This~"

Lin Yun: "You try again tonight. If my guess is right, Miss Yimei will definitely not see you again."

Jia Lian said anxiously: "How is this possible?"

Lin Yun: "Don't believe it, wait until night, you will know once you try it."

"I don't believe it. Miss Yimei is definitely not this kind of person."
