Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Lin Lu stared at the servants standing in two rows in front of him, his face ashen. "Investigate! Find out who set fire to the ancestral hall!"

A servant stepped forward and pointed at Hua Qing, "Master, it's Hua Qing."

She told us to pour kerosene on the ancestral hall at night, or wine if we didn't have kerosene.

Hua Qing knelt on the ground, "Master, I am innocent. It was the second young lady who set the fire."

Lin Lu stepped forward and grabbed Hua Qing by the collar. "Then tell me where Lin Lanzhi is. Besides, we clearly heard someone shout that Hua Qing set the fire and put the young lady into it."

Hua Qing: "Master, it was the second young lady who called out. She called out. You have to believe me."

"Drag this wretched maid away and beat her to death."

The servants rushed forward and dragged Hua Qing away. Only then did Hua Qing realize her fear. "It was the eldest young lady who set the fire. She arranged for me to pour the kerosene, saying she wanted to burn the second young lady to death. Master, I am innocent!"

Lin Lu became agitated, "Drag her away and beat her to death, or give each of them fifty strokes of the cane."

"Keep searching. Find Lin Lanzhi, alive or dead."

The servants went to search through the ruins of the ancestral hall again. Seeing that the servants were too slow, Lin Lu took it upon himself to dig through the ruins. Some of the fires had not been completely extinguished, and his hands were burned and bloodied, but he still kept searching.

Qiao Qiqi has already left me, but Lin Lanzhi, though useless, absolutely cannot die. She is Qiao Qiqi's and my only bloodline.

After settling Lin Lanxi in, Madam Lin walked to the ruins of the ancestral hall and saw Lin Lu still going crazy. She quickly went up to persuade him, saying, "My husband is a pure and kind person. The ancestral home has been destroyed, but you should also take care of your health. You can leave these things to the servants. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Lin Lu's eyes were red, but he remained unmoved and continued to dig through the rubble with his hands. If this continued, Lin Lu's hands would be ruined. "Take him away."

One or two of them are all troublesome.

"How dare you! Let me go."

Madam Lin rubbed her temples. "Take him away and tie him up. Then take the manor's token and go fetch Physician Liu."

As a princess, she had been forced to marry a minor official named Lin Lu, and now he was even expected to use her influence to summon a royal physician for him. Seeing Lin Lu's erratic behavior, Madam Lin was at her wits' end.

However, we can invite Physician Liu back to examine our dear daughter again. Staying in this house is truly tiresome; the things we pursued in our youth are nothing more than this.

When Xiong Bufan woke up, it was already dawn. In comparison, Xiong Bufan was actually the most comfortable person in the Lin family last night.

The cloth bag contained no food, only some hard, inedible gold and silver pieces. It was empty: "Take out a piece of silver from the cloth bag and use it to buy food. We can't steal food outside; we have to exchange it for silver. Gold can be exchanged for more."

"it is good."

Xiong Bufan took out a small piece of silver and walked to the steamed bun stall. He handed the silver to the shopkeeper and said, "Exchange," and then pointed to the steaming buns.

The shop owner was a very kind old woman. Looking at a dirty child with holes burned in his clothes, black marks on his face, and burnt hair, she took out a small piece of silver. The child was also pitiful. "Child, do you want a few buns?" she said.

"They've all been changed."

Nowadays, buying and selling relationships are no longer called exchanges. This child isn't very bright, and I don't know how her parents could let her go down the mountain alone.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The steamed buns were too hot. Xiong Bufan held one in his hand, and it soon turned red from the heat. The old woman pulled out a table and chairs. "Child, come sit down and eat here. It's free."

After Xiong Bufan sat down, the steamed buns weren't very hot anymore. He opened his mouth and stuffed one into his mouth, wolfing it down. The old woman then served Xiong Bufan a bowl of wonton soup. "Child, slow down, drink up. The soup is free."

Xiong Bufan took the bowl of wontons and sincerely thanked the first person in this world who had shown him kindness, "Thank you."

The old woman's eyes grew even more loving; the poor child.

"Two steamed buns, please." Another customer had arrived, and the old woman quickly returned to her pot.

After finishing his soup, Xiong Bufan didn't ask for more; he just pitifully licked the bowl and looked at the old woman.

The old woman sold steamed buns all morning, and Xiong Bufan kept eating them. Finally, the old woman packed up her stall, and Xiong Bufan finished all fifty-odd steamed buns. He also drank a whole bucket of wonton soup.

The old woman watched as Xiong Bufan licked the bowl clean, then added some water to the bucket of wonton soup, soaked it in a salt cloth, and served Xiong Bufan a bowl. Xiong Bufan thanked her and started eating.

Seeing that Xiong Bufan had licked the bowl clean again, the old woman thought to herself, "My goodness, this child can eat too much. I wonder if he was kicked out because he eats too much?" The old woman didn't show it on her face and continued to pack up her stall.

Xiong Bufan patted his belly and looked at the old woman. The old woman put away the bucket and the steamer for steaming buns, and spread her hands, "That's all. Go find something else to eat."

Kongkong urged Xiong Bufan, "Go with her, you won't go hungry, she's a good person."

Xiong Bufan: "Is there enough to eat?"

"Can"

Xiong Bufan looked at the old woman pitifully: "Grandma, can I go home with you? I think you are a good person."

The old woman was over sixty, but she pushed her little cart with incredible speed, leaving Xiong Bufan standing there pitiful, while Kongkong anxiously waited in the space. "Bufan, hurry and chase after her!"

Xiong Bufan chased after her, while the old woman ran ahead, asking, "Why are you chasing me?"

"I want to go home with you. I'm not a bad bear, and I don't eat people."

People on the street pointed and whispered, thinking that the old woman had wronged the child. The old woman stopped and explained, "That child is mentally challenged, but he insisted on coming home with me. I would never bully a child. Please don't spread rumors."

A person on the street gave a meaningful "oh," and Xiong Bufan caught up with her, pulling the old woman along, "Grandma, please take me home, I promise I'll be a good girl."

The old woman shook off Xiong Bufan, saying, "I'm not your grandmother. You child, get out of here and don't disturb my journey home."

The way people looked at her on the street changed. The old woman felt like she was being pricked by needles. She pulled Xiong Bufan to a corner and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"I want to go home with you. My parents don't want me anymore."

The old woman scratched her messy hair. "Go on, go on, but I can't feed you."

I'm not your grandmother, just call me Granny Qiu.

"Yes, Granny Qiu."

The old woman secretly regretted her kindness; in her old age, she had brought home a child whose gender was unclear.

Xiong Bufan was happy to have found a place to stay, so he didn't have to go back to the Lin family. Anyone in that group who could breathe was capable of harming Lin Lanzhi.

The Lin family was still in a mess. Lin Lu was on leave at home. After the doctor explained that he might never be able to write again, he went completely mad, throwing things around the house with his hand that had been hit by Bao Cheng's hammer.

The dynasty has no need for a top scholar who can't write. My career is ruined. Moreover, my wife married me because of my talent and my beautiful handwriting. With my hands ruined, I've lost both my wife and my career. It's all that rebellious daughter Lin Lanzhi's fault for making me look for her in the ancestral hall.

Lin Lu was furious at home and even ordered people to burn down Lin Lanzhi's courtyard, Lige Courtyard.

Lin Lanxi was still asleep. Madam Lin stood by the bedside, holding Lin Lanxi, who was wrapped up tightly in the blankets. "Lanxi, my darling, please wake up soon."

A servant rushed in, shouting, "Madam, something terrible has happened! Master is going to burn down the Lige Brothel!"

Madam Lin frowned, and Qingzhu slapped the servant across the face, "Madam is perfectly fine, how dare you, you fool, curse her."

The servant dared not speak out in anger, but Madam Lin waved her hand and said, "Alright, what exactly happened?"

"Master, they're setting fire to the Lige Brothel."

"What? Take me there quickly! Qingzhu, take good care of Miss."

According to the laws of this dynasty, those who maliciously set fire to the capital will be punished with whipping, and officials will be punished even more severely. If someone were to find a pretext for this, Lin Lu's official position would be completely ruined.
