"Lin Hong! What did you do?" Lin Tang face fell. He would never expect that Lin Hong would push his own brother to the cliff. Although he knows that there is some hate among the two brothers, he would never thought that Lin Hong would do it under so many gaze of n.o.bles.

Lin Hong face becomes white like sheets. With his hand outstretched like that, it would seem to other that he's the one pus.h.i.+ng his brother to the cliff. Not to mention the scream Lin Kang had when he falls down. How come they are here, didn't their voice cannot be heard anymore?

"Father," Lin Hong turned towards his father only to see the latter face is also very pale.

The hunt ended early and people on the capital are busy talking about the events that happened there. The name of Lin Hong becomes the biggest joke in the capital. An older brother pushed his own younger brother down the cliff in front of countless n.o.bles. There is no way out for the boy to have a clean name anymore.

Because of the incident, Lin Hong is taken away by some people. No matter how much the boy pleaded to Lin Tang, he didn't even looks towards the kid. There is simply nothing Lin Tang can do. Against the law, he doesn't have that much power and can only let them take his precious son.

Lin Tang face is truly dark after the hunt ended. The emperor looks at him coldly and didn't talk to him at all. Then, Jun Hua, who's still dressed as Jun Min, comes to him.

"Prime Minister Lin Tang."

"What is it, Young General Jun?" Lin Tang feels that he no longer had any face in front of Jun Min. Previously, he had promised Jun Zhenxian that there would be nothing happened with Jun Hua in Lin family residence. Now that something like this happened, can they still trust his word?

As he had predicted, Jun Min comes to him to talk about that.

"I think that I will take my sister away from Lin family residence. Do you have any objection?"

Facing the cold eyes from Jun Hua, Lin Tang cannot bear to say no. He feels as if the moment he said no, he will be dead. It truly terrifies him and makes him nodded his head repeatedly.

"Yes, you can take her back. I think she had learned enough in the residence."

Jun Hua looks towards Lin Tang and sneered. "If I found any mishap to her, I won't show you any mercy even if you are the prime minister."

That was a threat! A blatant one at that! But Lin Tang didn't dare to show any objection. The pressure given from Jun Hua is not one that he can take lightly. He feels fear towards the other party. And with the strength of Jun Hua, there is no guarantee that the emperor would side with him if he is proven wrong.

As Jun Hua walks away, Lin Tang can only hoped that Jun Hua won't complain to her brother. It will be the end of him if the little girl were to utter even a word of dissatisfaction.

This is the first time Lin Tang regretted having Jun Hua in the residence. With such a scary brother, there will be no one dares to lay his hand on that girl unless he wants to court death. Lin Tang certainly still wants to live for a long time. Because of that, he fears the worst will happen.

When he turned his gaze towards the other n.o.bles, many of them looked at him with sneer. The reputation of him as a father had destroyed. There will not be a single person in the capital not talking about his failure in teaching his son.

For Lin Tang who cares deeply about his reputation, this is definitely a huge blow. To recover from this backside, it will certainly take him a long time.

"I can't believe that Lin Tang son actually did that," Yan shakes his head. "Didn't he know that he is already the favorite son?"

Soujin narrowed his eyes. "There should be more in the story than that."

"Are you interested in finding it out?"

"No, this is just some child play. Not worth my time," Soujin said lightly. "Besides, I have sent some people."

"…" Yan shakes his head. The word you said is contradicting each other. But this incident is really interesting, what did Lin Hong hope in killing his brother?

Lin Tang walks home in fury.

"CHUN MAORA!"

Chun Maora had heard about that news, but she cannot believe what she had heard.

"Lin Tang… I…."

SLAP!

"You vicious woman! What did you teach Hong'er?"

Chun Maora cries loudly in front of Lin Tang only to get beaten up by the latter. No matter what Chun Maora did, she can't ease the anger in Lin Tang.

"What did you teach your son, huh? To think that he would do something like that! Do you want to destroy my family name?"

Lin Tang is highly enraged. His first son is detained, his second son died, now he doesn't have any son left. He could only vent his anger towards his wife.

"It's a mistake! Hong'er won't do something like that!"

"What mistake? I was walking with the other n.o.bles to hunt when we see the two kids near the cliff and Hong'er just pushes his brother down!" Lin Tang said before kicking Chun Maora again. He can't believe that his son had just crushed his reputation like that. Now, what did they say about him?

"Mother!" Lin San wants to help and run towards her mother.

SLAP!

"You return to your room! Didn't your mother teach you any manner?" Lin Tang shouted.

Holding her cheeks, Lin San run away. This is the first time Lin Tang ever raise his hand towards Lin San. The girl eyes are red and she deeply hates her father for hitting her and her mother like that. Chun Maora was about to plead when Lin Tang strike again causing her to fall unconscious.

Because of the ruckus, Lin Yuan didn't dare to come out from their quarter. On the other hand, Jun Hua had escaped to Jun family residence even before the hunt ended because 'Jun Min' asked that to Lin Tang. Lin Tang doesn't have any choice and let the girl go.

When Chun Maora is unconscious, Concubine Qi comes to Lin Tang.

"My son… please let me return back to mourn for my son."

Lin Tang feels another headache. He had never really cared about the woman in front of him. Although the other party had given him a son, he didn't think about caring for her since the boy is truly weak. Now that the boy had died, what should he do with the mother?

Lin Tang finally chose to let that woman return to her paternal family. There's no way he could stand seeing the mess on his house. In the end, he locks himself in his room to drinks wine until he pa.s.sed out.

The name of Lin family is tainted because of this incident.
