Chapter 198: A Gentleman

“I wonder who dares to do this in the capital.” Yin Wuzhan frowned.

Not only did they look down on Jin’er, but they also looked down on them, the Yin Family.

“You don’t have to interfere in this matter. Jin’er will investigate it himself. If Jin’er can’t find out, you might not be able to either.”

Yin Wuzhan’s lips twitched.

A father who was not as good as his son.

He couldn’t refute that.

“I heard that this matter even reached the Lingering Garden?” Yin Shuguo asked.

Yin Wuzhan nodded. “Mm-hm.”

“I didn’t investigate the exact details. I was afraid that Jin’er would think that we had interfered in his matters without his permission. However, I heard that the director of the Lingering Garden had resigned. It seems to be related to his adopted daughter.”

“Meng Zhao?”

“Mm-hm.”

Yin Shuguo frowned. “Isn’t that adopted daughter of Meng Zhao the fiancée of Liu Junqing, who almost harmed Jin’er?”

“Mm-hm.”

“Jin’er still kept her around?”

“It’s probably because she’s Meng Zhao’s adopted daughter that he gave Meng Zhao face.” Yin Wuzhan actually wanted to say that there were still rumors outside that she was Yin Jiujin’s lover.

However, after thinking about it, he did not say it.

To prevent the Old Master from losing his temper.

The Yin Family did not allow men to be unfaithful.

Perhaps it had skipped a generation, Jin’er’s temper was more like the Old Master’s. It was only because the Old Master was old and the Old Madam had already passed away that the Old Master’s temper was restrained.

“It’s fine to keep her around. Don’t interact with her too much. Liu Junqing isn’t a good person. His fiancée isn’t necessarily a good person either.”

Yin Wuzhan didn’t say anything, but Min Qinglan glanced at Yin Shuguo when she heard that.

It was as if she agreed that Old Master was really sharp-eyed.

The other members of the Yin Family didn’t investigate Yin Jiujin further. As a result, Min Qinglan went to find out.

However, she didn’t ask openly. She only asked around secretly. She knew that Yu Qingwan seemed to have tried to “seduce” Yin Jiujin and was almost crippled by him. In the end, Meng Zhao came out to plead for mercy.

In the past, she had thought that Yu Qingwan was more presentable than Yan Jinyu. Now, she knew that although Yan Jinyu came from a small family and didn’t grow up at home, she was still more outstanding than some people.

However, Min Qinglan had never thought that the first time she saw Yan Jinyu. She felt that she had charmed Yin Jiujin and made him neglect his job.

She was indeed frightened by Yan Jinyu.

She didn’t dare to have too much prejudice against Yan Jinyu now.

Min Qinglan now knew that since Yin Jiujin was so ruthless as to cripple Yu Qingwan, the rumors outside about Yu Qingwan being his lover were only rumors.

“Dad, don’t worry. Since Meng Zhao had to plead for leniency and even exchange his position as the Lingering Garden’s director, it’s obvious that Jin’er doesn’t care about Liu Junqing’s fiancée.”

Yin Shuguo snorted. “The people in the army won’t betray their comrades for no reason. There’s obviously something wrong with Liu Junqing. Unfortunately, Jin’er doesn’t want us to interfere. Otherwise…”

“There’s something wrong with Liu Junqing. That fiancée of his might not be clean either. Perhaps, this matter is greatly related to her.”

Yin Wuzhan deeply agreed with this.

***

Yin Jiujin’s car headed straight for the Bamboo Forest Elegant Abode, but he didn’t enter the Azure Garden that he lived in. Instead, he entered the Elegant Court on the other side.

Compared to the Azure Garden, the Elegant Court looked even more ancient.

The buildings in the Azure Garden were slightly more modern, but the Elegant Court was a real old building. Even the door was made of wood, and there was a plaque above the door.

The words “Elegant Court” were written on the plaque.

The handwriting was very nice.

The bamboo forest surrounded them like a secluded place.

The person who lived here was indeed no different from living in seclusion. He didn’t go out of the main building and didn’t even go to the main building to eat with everyone during the new year.

If he didn’t really live in the Yin Family’s mansion, even the Yin Family would have forgotten that there was such a person.

The car stopped outside Elegant Court. Cheng Lin sat in the car and waited while Yin Jiujin got out alone.

Yin Jiujin didn’t knock when he arrived at the wooden door. He simply pushed it open and walked in.

It wasn’t that he was being rude, but he knew that even if he knocked, no one would come to open the door for him.

The courtyard was not big. Other than two buildings, there was only a garden.

In addition to growing flowers, there were also some vegetables and fruits planted in the garden. However, in this season, be it flowers or fruits, they had all withered.

There were a few osmanthus trees in the courtyard.

On the other hand, the trees were evergreen.

Under one of the osmanthus trees, there was a bamboo recliner with a person lying on it.

Dressed in a long white jacket, he was carrying a hand warmer that had been left behind from an unknown era. His face was covered by an old book, so others could not see his face.

If there was a sun today, it could be said that he was out in the late winter to bask in the sun and warm up when he was lying in the courtyard like this. However, the wind today was so cold that there was no trace of the sun.

Then, if he was lying in the courtyard like this, he was either mentally ill or waiting for someone.

“You’re here.” His voice was very pleasant, soft and gentle.

Just from his voice, one could tell that he was a very gentle person.

He removed the book on his face and sat up.

Only then could one see his face clearly.

He was a very handsome young man. He had a warm smile on his face, looking very much like the gentle young master of a noble family in the ancient times.

It was mainly because he was wearing a long jacket and lived in such an antique courtyard. He looked even more like it.

“You came a little later than I expected.”

“You interfered in my matters,” Yin Jiujin said indifferently. No one could tell if he was happy or angry.

The man was still smiling warmly. “Yes and no.”

“Why pursue the matter so much? Anyway, this small matter can’t stump you. Speaking of which, you haven’t stepped into my courtyard for eight years, right? In other words, we haven’t seen each other for eight years. Since you’re here, why don’t you come in and have a cup of tea?” Eight years ago was the time when Yin Jiujin and the Yin Family were at odds.

“I knew you would come, so I specially prepared some tea.”

“Feng Yun, do you know my fiancée?”

Feng Yun, who was about to walk into the house, stopped in his tracks with his back facing him. “Who knows?”

“Whether you know her or not, don’t interfere in our matters in the future.”

However, Feng Yun did not respond to him. He turned back and smiled at him. “Aren’t you going in for a cup of tea?”

Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened. He stared at him and walked forward.

The two of them entered the house together.

Although it was a wooden building, it was much warmer inside with a charcoal fire.

The two of them sat opposite each other on the soft seats. In front of them was the equipment for warming tea. The teapot on the charcoal fire was still steaming.

Feng Yun flipped the teacup over and poured a cup of tea for Yin Jiujin.

“Please.”

Yin Jiujin glanced at him before picking up his teacup and taking a sip. “The reason.”

Feng Yun poured himself a cup of tea too and smiled warmly. “Didn’t you already guess it? Why ask?”

“So you’re really doing this to let me intimidate others and clear the obstacles for my fiancée to come to the capital?”

“Jin, you don’t have to emphasize that she’s your fiancée. I won’t snatch her from you.”

Yin Jiujin’s expression froze.

He felt unnatural as if someone had seen through his thoughts.

He was afraid that others would think about his girl. So what was wrong?

“That girl hates trouble. Isn’t that good? With your deterrence, there will be fewer people who dare to look for trouble in front of her when she comes to the capital with you in the future.”

Yin Jiujin looked at him coldly. “Don’t call her so intimately. That’s my little girl, not yours!”

Feng Yun chuckled. “It’s rare to see you like this.”

“You make it sound like you see me often.”

“Isn’t it because you haven’t stepped into my courtyard for eight years?”

“If I don’t come in, can’t you go out?”

The warm smile on Feng Yun’s face froze for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. He looked at Yin Jiujin as usual. “I might not be able to see you even if I go out. Ever since that incident eight years ago, you rarely come home.”

“It’s not a big deal. Why are you still holding a grudge?”

Yin Jiujin fell silent. “Looking back now, it’s indeed not a big deal.”

Feng Yun was surprised.

He did not expect him to say that.

Didn’t it cause a huge commotion then…

“Whether this matter is big or not, doesn’t depend on the matter itself. However, I have my own decisions regarding this matter. I don’t want others to interfere too much in spite of my wishes.”

“At the end of the day, you were in your rebellious phase eight years ago.”

“…” Yin Jiujin.

“I don’t have that kind of phase.”

“Regardless of whether you did or not, eight years is enough. No matter how great the favor you owe, you should have repaid it long ago. Besides, that’s a traitor.”

“…Someone who hasn’t left the courtyard for 10 years doesn’t have the right to lecture me.”

Feng Yun choked.

Yin Jiujin stood up. “I’m not asking about your matters. Whether it’s the matters after you return to the Yin Family or the matters before you return, I won’t ask too much. Similarly, don’t interfere too much in my matters, especially those related to my fiancée.”

“I’ll protect my own people. You don’t have to interfere too much.”

Feng Yun looked up at him and smiled. “I’m just repaying you. Why are you making things so complicated?”

“I don’t care if you’re repaying me. Don’t interfere in our matters in the future.”

After turning around and taking two steps, Yin Jiujin stopped again, but he didn’t turn back. “If you have the time to interfere in other people’s business, why don’t you investigate if your enemies are all dead?”

“What favor are you repaying if your enemy isn’t dead!”

After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Feng Yun who was no longer smiling.

He had actually found out something about the fact that his enemy was not dead.

He didn’t expect his cousin to still be able to guess so much even though he didn’t say anything after he returned to the Yin Family.
