"There is no need to go through so much trouble." The Ximen Imperial Clan's clan head seemed to be very angry, "Let Sir Lin come in. Also, send someone to invite Sir Shangguan and Mister Liu." The head of the Xi Men family instructed, "Since Young Master Lin wants to talk to Si'er so much, let's have a chat together."
Lin Jing had already completely awakened from his drunken state. He knew that if he did not go, there would be a big problem, so he could only follow Xi Men Si to the living room for tea.
Shangguan Feng and Liu Sheng returned after a long while. Liu Sheng was still dizzy, but Shangguan Feng's expression turned ugly. Lin Jing knew that he wouldn't be able to escape this calamity, so he subconsciously leaned back.
When the Patriarch of the Xi Men family and Xi Men Zi saw this situation, they knew that they had caught on and were trying to figure out how to maximize the benefits this time.
"Greetings, Patriarch Xi Men." As soon as Shangguan Feng entered, he directly said it. Then, he looked at Lin Jing with an unsightly expression. "I said I won't let you out. Did you forget?"
"Please forgive me, Master Shangguan." At this time, Lin Jing didn't dare to say anything about 'brother Shangguan'. He immediately changed the way he was addressed. He knew that he had made a mistake this time, so he didn't explain anything.
"Don't you need to explain?" Shangguan Feng looked at him and said coldly.
"Please forgive me, young master. This subordinate was wrong. I naturally do not dare to explain myself. I just hope that young master will spare me this once for the sake of the Lin Family." Lin Jing said.
"Are you threatening me?" Shangguan Feng was furious.
"This subordinate would not dare." Lin Jing said.
"Then tell me, how should I deal with your actions today?" Shangguan Feng said.
"Your subordinate is willing to accept any punishment." Lin Jing pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth.
"Then, according to the family rules, I will break my own arm." Shangguan Feng said without even looking at him.
"Young master ?" Lin Jing wanted to say something, but Shangguan Feng Lin didn't intend to give him the chance.
The Patriarch of the Xi Men family and Xi Men Si had been listening attentively the entire time. They had been watching the show, but were a little surprised when they saw it, "It seems that this Shangguan Feng Lin is indeed the leader of the three." Xi Men Si thought:
If this Lin Jing really had lost an arm here, then before the conflict broke between the Lin Family and Nangong Family, he would definitely blame his own family. Although the Lin Family was nothing, it would not be beneficial for him to provoke a family for no reason. Therefore, the Xi Men family's patriarch decided that he must not let Lin Jing have any problems with him. "Sir Shangguan, this matter isn't that serious. I think Sir Lin already knows that he was wrong, so let's just forget about it."
When Shangguan Feng saw the Ximen Family's Family Head pleading, he remained expressionless. "Patriarch Xi, this is our own matter. I hope you won't interfere." Shangguan Feng did not appreciate his presence.
"What are you waiting for?" Shangguan Feng looked at Lin Jing and said.
"Yes." Lin Jing knew that he couldn't avoid this attack. He took up a saber and was about to cut down, when someone stopped him. "Sir, please forgive Brother Lin this time." Shangguan Feng looked over and saw that Liu Sheng had woken up at some point, and was now standing in front of Lin Jing, blocking his way.
"Are you going to disobey my orders?" Shangguan Feng looked at Liu Sheng in dissatisfaction.
"Young master, for the sake of the Lin Clan and the Liu Clan, please spare him this time." Liu Sheng did not care about Shangguan Feng Lin's expression and continued speaking.
"You're threatening me too." Shangguan Feng looked at him and said.
"This subordinate would not dare." Liu Sheng said, not daring to let go.
Shangguan Feng's current expression was rather ugly, but he still had to deal with what was happening. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Shangguan Feng looked at Liu Sheng and asked him.
"Please forgive me, Young Master." Liu Sheng said he would protect Lin Jing no matter what.
"In that case." Shangguan Feng said dejectedly, "Since Liu Sheng is willing to give you a chance, then on Liu Sheng's account, I'll let you off this time. However, you're not allowed to step out of the door for the past few days, since Liu Sheng wants to help him, then you'll have to suffer the same punishment as him." Shangguan Feng looked at them as he finished speaking, "Still not leaving?"
"Servants, bring the dishes to the two gongzis' rooms." Xi Men Si said.
Shangguan Feng did not say anything else, but spoke deeply to the Xi Men family's leader, "It was my negligence this time. Please do not blame the family head. If the family head is not satisfied, then Shangguan will cut off one of his arms as punishment." Shangguan Feng said.
"You're too polite, let's leave this matter at that." "Of course, the Xi Men family's Patriarch is not stupid enough to pursue this matter now." It's already very late, rest, Shangguan Gongzi. " As the Xi Men family head said this, he had Shangguan Feng sent back to rest.
The Patriarch of the Xi Men family looked at Xi Men Zi and said: "See, this is the power of the Shangguan family."
Xi Men Qian said in disbelief: "What's wrong with that? The Lin and Liu Families are afraid of him, but we are not one of them. "
"You didn't see what happened tonight at all." The head of the Xi Men family said, "It's just a show."
"What do you mean?" Xi Men Si asked.
Of the four of you, only Liu Sheng is drunk, not to mention he was drunk on purpose. The others are all sober, especially that Lin Jing, she saw you and I discussing something, but she couldn't reveal it to us, so she told Lin Jing to borrow the alcohol to act crazy. Even if he couldn't hear what we said, he could still temporarily disrupt our plans. The head of the Xi Men family said, "That's why it happened today."
"Then what if something really happens to Lin Jing?" Xi Men Si did not understand how they could be so confident that Lin Jing would be fine.
"Of course Lin Jing can't let anything happen to us here, otherwise the Lin Family will have a grudge against us, so even if he really does decide to do this, we have to stop him. Moreover, there is Liu Sheng, and he has a good relationship with Lin Jing, so even if we dare to make things difficult for Lin Jing here, Liu Sheng will stop us." The Xi Men family head explained, "Just like just now, when Shangguan Feng comes, he can say that he has no other way and leave it at that."
"Then how are they going to gather information in the future?" Xi Men Si said, "You can't go out."
"That's how smart they are. They're saying they can't go out, but who would let people in the door to check if there's anyone there, so they can go out quietly on their own. We can't suspect them yet, because they're under house arrest." The head of the Xi Men family said, "Of course, for safety's sake, Shangguan Feng will pass by any time, but when he comes, everyone will definitely stay in their rooms. If there's really something wrong when the time comes, they can say that they have been in their rooms all along."
"Then we have to be careful." Xi Men Si said.
"Remember, from today onwards, any intruders are to be killed." The head of the Xi Men family said.
"Even ?" Xi Men Si said.
"To them, of course." The head of the Xi Men family said craftily.
