The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 56
[Chapter 56: Take Some Return Gifts]
The thing Lin Tian stuffed into Lin Kang’s hand was a woman’s inner pocket, which was embroidered with delicate patterns.
“Master, this…”
Lin Kang’s mouth twitched wildly. Could it be that the master had done something shameful?
If the master knew about this, he would probably have his legs broken!
“What are you thinking about? I asked someone to buy it back!”
Lin Tian knew what Lin Kang was thinking as soon as he saw his expression.
He patted him on the back of his head in annoyance and told him to get back to work.
After listening to Lin Tian’s explanation, Lin Kang was relieved.
The two sneaked into Ouyang Mansion in the dark. After avoiding the guards who were changing shifts and patrolling, Lin Kang successfully entered Ouyang Haowen’s yard.
“Damn Lin Tian, I will make you pay for it!”
As soon as Lin Kang entered, he heard Ouyang Haowen holding a wooden figurine and cursing fiercely.
The sinister expression made Lin Kang feel cold on his back.
I didn’t expect that Ouyang Haowen, who looked gentle and refined outside, could be so vicious.
Lin Kang didn’t dare to stay here for long. He found an opportunity and sneaked into Ouyang Haowen’s room.
“Just put it here!”
Ouyang Haowen’s room was tidy. Lin Kang turned around twice and casually put the object in a cloth bag.
The cloth bag seemed to be seldom used, so it shouldn’t be discovered so quickly.
After completing the task, Lin Kang hurriedly left the scene of the crime.
Ouyang Haowen knew nothing about it.
On the other hand, Lin Tian on the other side sneaked into the study of the head of the Ouyang family.
It was just that the time was not very coincidental. The head of the Ouyang family was talking to someone in the study at this time.
“Is there something wrong with this matter?”
This was a slightly hesitant voice, sounding like the head of the Ouyang family.
“Head of the Ouyang family, don’t worry, it’s guaranteed to be foolproof. This is a mutually beneficial thing!”
The other voice sounded weird, and Lin Tian had never heard it before.
After listening to it twice, he found that there was really no useful information in their conversation, so Lin Tian simply walked away.
He thought he could get something by sneaking in tonight, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
The content of the conversation between the head of the Ouyang family and that person was nothing more than cooperating to deal with the Lin family.
Lin Tian could guess roughly as long as he made a random guess.
“How boring.”
Lin Tian muttered while strolling around.
He obviously sneaked into the Ouyang family, but now it looked like he was strolling in his own back garden.
Occasionally, the guards would find something wrong, but Lin Tian was so fast that people could not see him at all.
After feeling around, Lin Tian found the bedroom of the head of the Ouyang family.
“It looks like there should be a lot of good things here!” Lin Tian looked at the furnishings in the bedroom.
Whether it was a vase or a small set of tea sets, they all looked valuable.
Compared with the Lin family, they were actually much richer.
“The Ouyang family, it seems to be a bit interesting!” Lin Tian muttered while thinking.
Then he opened the drawer in the room and turned the whole room upside down.
When Lin Tian came out, he already had two objects in his hands.
If the head of the Ouyang family was here at this time, he would definitely recognize what Lin Tian was holding.
Isn’t that the jade toad that he loves every day!
And the dragon-patterned jade pendant that he had worked so hard to find. It is said that this is the same jade as the one the emperor wears, taken from the same piece of jade!
Lin Tian has a sharp eye. After putting these two objects on himself, he bypassed the patrolling guards in a few seconds.
When Lin Tian met Lin Kang outside the Ouyang Mansion, no one noticed that two outsiders had entered the Ouyang Mansion tonight!
Even when the head of the Ouyang family returned to his bedroom late at night, he didn’t find anyone here!
“Master, why did you take so long?”
Lin Kang waited for a long time before seeing Lin Tian come out, and asked anxiously.
He was afraid that Lin Tian would be discovered by the guards of the Ouyang Mansion because of his excessive impulsiveness.
After waiting here for two incense sticks, he finally saw Lin Tian come out.
“I gave a gift to that guy Ouyang Haowen, of course I have to bring some gifts back!”
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he walked forward leisurely.
Seeing this, Lin Kang hurriedly followed.
“Master, wait for me!”
“Come up quickly!”
The two of them returned to the Lin family openly.
Except for themselves, no one knew that they had gone out.
The next morning, Lin Tian got up early and went to the Prince Jing’s mansion.
He had known for a long time that Xu Wenxuan was someone close to the Prince Jing, but the two of them did get along well, so he didn’t expose it and pretended not to know.
Sometimes pretending not to understand can avoid many incidents!
“Who is coming? Do you have a visiting card?”
The guards in front of the Prince Jing’s mansion were as stern as always, and Lin Tian didn’t even blink when he saw it.
At this time, Lin Tian put away his dandy smile and became serious.
“There is no visiting card. Go ahead and tell the two brothers that Lin Tian from the City Lord’s Mansion is here to pay a visit.”
Lin Tian raised his chin, and Lin Kang, who received the message, hurried forward and put the silver that had been prepared long ago into the hands of the two guards.
One of them weighed the weight in his hand, and the two looked at each other.
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
One said, walked into the door and said something to the people inside, and soon came out.
This is the order that a wealthy family should have. The gatekeeper is only responsible for guarding the door.
And those who are going to pass the message usually wait behind the door.
After about half an incense stick of time, the man came back, followed by another man, who gave the guard a look.
“Master Lin, please follow me this way.” The man who followed behind him said, and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian nodded and followed the man in.
The guard was a little confused. Isn’t Lin Tian a famous playboy? Why is King Jing willing to see him?
But even if he was confused, the guard didn’t dare to ask. He withdrew his thoughts and continued to stand at his post.
Lin Tian followed the servant who led the way and walked in, admiring the scenery of King Jing’s mansion.
This is indeed a house left by the previous dynasty. It has not been sold yet. The decoration inside is really exquisite.
“King Jing is inside. Please go in by yourself, Master Lin!” The servant bowed and led the way for Lin Tian.
Lin Tian nodded and was about to go in, but was stopped by the man again.
“Please stay, Master Lin. King Jing said please go in by yourself!” The servant repeated.
Lin Tian glanced at Lin Kang, and it was obvious that Lin Kang was very worried.
But the other party was King Jing, and Lin Tian had to see him today.
“You wait here first.”
Lin Tian had already given the order, so Lin Kang could only retreat to the back obediently, but he was still worried.
