Lin Residence, Lin Wenxuan and his mother had returned from reporting to the government office and were anxiously waiting for news.
Before leaving, they had given the constables a considerable amount of silver, guaranteeing that any news would be delivered to them immediately.
During lunch, Lin's father noticed the two of them were restless and frowned, "Are you hiding something you've done from me?"
Lin's mother averted her eyes guiltily and forced a smile, "What are you talking about, my lord? What could we possibly do?"
Lin Wenxuan echoed, "Exactly, father. You really don't trust mother and me."
Upon hearing their denials, Lin's father's expression slightly softened.
But in no time, a servant hurried in, panting, "Master, there's trouble! People from the government are at the door!"
Lin's father slammed his chopsticks down and bolted up, "Why would people from the government suddenly come over?"
