Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"With the power of a true dragon's inner energy, even against a first-rate ninth-rank opponent, I probably wouldn't be at a disadvantage..."

He was in high spirits!

However, I wonder if they can suppress that bastard Lin Ruobing! ...

Although Lin Ruobing is not as famous as Lin Ruoxue, she was still chosen by Zixia Academy as a so-called "immortal seed," which shows her extraordinary talent. Li Lan estimated that her cultivation level was only one step away from becoming a top-tier cultivator...

Forget it, I'll just have to play it safe a little longer!

Li Lan forcibly suppressed the urge to pin her down and give her a good beating!

……

The next morning.

"Young master, the master is looking for you."

Someone came to report.

Li Lan then went to the front hall, where he found Lin Ruoshi there as well.

"Just now, Master Cen sent some books to your residence, saying they were for the two of you."

Lin Zhengdao.

But upon hearing this, Li Lan frowned instantly and said, "Father-in-law, this... I'm afraid something is not right."

Lin Zhengdao asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Lan said, "Master Cen, as a great Confucian scholar in the capital and one of the examiners for this year's literary examination, has already gone to the palace. Why would his servants send books at this time?"

"Moreover, it was before the major examination of literature and morality."

"This isn't right."

Lin Zheng frowned instantly and said, "Po Shan, investigate!"

Tie Poshan immediately organized a team, and on Li Lan's suggestion, wiped every page of the book with vinegar.

"There really is... a problem."

Tie Poshan was astonished. In one of the collections of essays, a line of writing appeared immediately after being wiped with vinegar...

……

On the title page of the collection, the words "vinegar" are clearly visible.

"Bow down and submit, offer up your two women for my pleasure, and you will be spared the extermination of your clan."

Just these four lines!

It was also written with alum on the title page.

With just one glance, Lin Zheng roared and slammed his hand heavily on the rosewood chair, shattering the armrest!

"What an arrogant tone! What audacity!"

Lin Zheng originally possessed the air of a scholar-general, but at this moment, a murderous aura surged across his face. Li Lan keenly sensed that the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees, and a chill flashed by.

This was caused by fluctuations in Lin Zheng's internal energy!

At least... a top-tier expert!

Lin Zheng's skill level is truly impressive.

It was clear that Lin Zheng was truly enraged.

"What a provocative demonstration!"

Li Lan then said calmly, "He anticipated that we would inspect, so he wrote this sentence in advance and placed it here. Such arrogance truly shows that he regards us as nothing."

Previously, the other party used alum to write a secret letter to frame the Lin family, but Li Lan saw through it. Now, the other party is still using this method to provoke the Lin family. It can be said that... they are truly rampant!

"What do you think?" Lin Zheng asked him.

Li Lan said, "Since he is so certain, it means he has already set up a scheme, and he is not afraid at all that we will know that he has set up a scheme... This scheme must be extremely dangerous and ruthless."

Li Lan sighed. The enemy was in the shadows while they were in the open. The key was that the other side was a member of the royal family, so they had very few ways to counterattack and were far too passive!

Even Li Lan couldn't immediately guess how many ruthless tricks and vicious schemes the other party had prepared.

"There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and it is impossible to know all the thoughts of thieves. Therefore, the best strategy is still to take the initiative."

Li Lan pondered for a long time before looking at Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng's face was extremely gloomy. He had thought about it for a very long time and deeply understood that the Lin family was now walking on thin ice, and one wrong step could lead to an abyss. Finally, he nodded and said:

"Go ahead and do it... The only thing to remember is not to get too close to the First Prince because of Jinyang Palace."

He seemed afraid that Li Lan wouldn't understand the danger involved, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Whether it's the Third Prince or the First Prince, they could ultimately cause unimaginable disaster. Stay away from them...."

Li Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she agreed.

Return to the room.

He asked Yue Ran to grind the ink.

"Young master, what do you want to write?"

"write a letter."

"write a letter?"

"That's right, write a letter to the gods in heaven and ask them to bless Xiaoyue Ran, so that she may stay young forever and live forever, hahaha..."

Li Lan put pen to paper, and it was a poem.

In his view, the fate of the Great Li Dynasty was coming to an end. He originally did not want to get too involved with the royal family, but now that the Third Prince was being aggressive, he did not want to be slaughtered, so he had to find some way to protect himself.
