?Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The Showdown(1)_1 Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The Showdown(1)_1 “Manager, Master, there is some trouble at home. I need to go back and check it out immediately. I am sorry.” After hearing Kong Er’s words, Lin Ziyin greeted a few people around him and decided to go home immediately.

“Although it is a matter in the Miss’s family, since I am here, too, if the Miss doesn’t mind, I would like to go and see.” Hei Yi, who was on the side, had naturally heard what Kong Er said. He had seen the eldest daughter of the Lin Family on several occasions. She was not flippant. According to the servants, it seemed like she had been set up. There were many instances of good people being wronged in the back courtyards of large households. As a butler, Hei Yi, even as a man, was somewhat acquainted with such matters.

Remembering the repeated instructions from Prince Ling and Si Jinhan not to let the Lin Family suffer any grievances, he immediately volunteered to step in.

“Butler, you are kind to be concerned. Please.” Lin Ziyin did not refuse his goodwill.

Hei Yi was Prince Ling’s man, a well-known fact in the village. With him present, the Ma Family likely wouldn’t dare to cause a ruckus.

As it was a matter of ordinary people, it was not appropriate for the monks of the temple to get involved, let alone to go forward and gawk. Therefore, the martial monks of Ding’an Temple all stayed behind to continue working in the field.

Anxiously worried, Lin Ziyin rides the ox-cart and rushes home with Butler Hei.

“What, are you trying to beat a man to death? Without Zhicai, Zige would be dead.” Before reaching the house, Lin Ziyin and his group heard the sharp voice of Yan Family’s lady, “You all saw clearly. It was our Zhicai who saved Lin Zige. How dare you beat him? This is unreasonable.”

“I’ll beat you, you ill-intentioned wretch.” Wu Dayou’s voice sounded even angrier.

“Hold Dayou back.” Lin Changshu seemed more rational, but Lin Ziyin could still hear the anger in his voice.

“Everyone, stop!” At a crucial moment, it was the village elder who had the authority. The noise at the door seemed to diminish a bit.

At this time, Lin Ziyin also jumped down from the ox-cart and arrived at the front door.

Indeed, there was a big commotion at home, and it seemed like all the villagers had gathered. Many villagers were pointing at the Lin Family and commenting.

Lin Ziyin, with no patience to listen to everyone’s comments, squeezed through the crowd with a stern face and Butler Hei, “Excuse me, please make way.”

Upon hearing his voice and seeing his unhappy face, along with Butler Hei’s intimidating stare, everyone was scared and immediately moved aside to give way.

Walking along the path cleared by the villagers to the doorway, Lin Ziyin finally saw what was going inside. Lin Zige was crying inconsolably, her eyes red and swollen, leaning against Guo Huiniang. Wu Dayou, wielding a practice stick, glared at Ma Zhicai who was trying to put on a pitiful face. Lin Changshu and Wu Dali, among others, trying to hold him back hard for fear of any mishap.

The Yan Family’s lady was throwing a tantrum on the ground, her face covered with tears and snot. To those who were unaware of the situation, it would seem like the Lin Family was bullying them.

“Ziyin, you are back just in time.” Seeing Lin Ziyin, Ma Dalang immediately walked over, rubbing his hands, “The incident has happened. Zhicai had good intentions, but it turned into this. But don’t worry, we, the Ma family, are reasonable. Since Zhicai caught Zige’s arm, we definitely would not tarnish her reputation. We, the Ma family will take responsibility.”

Knowing that Lin Ziyin was now holding the power in the Lin Family, the obsequious look on Ma Dalang’s face was unbearable for anyone to watch.

“Responsible for what?” Lin Ziyin asked with a cold laugh.

Stumped by her ridiculing question, Ma Dalang was taken aback. Her reaction was off, Lin Zige’s arm was touched by Zhicai. Many villagers had witnessed it. Could she be so unconcerned about it?
