Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

The Lin family is a top-notch family in Wangjiang City, different from the Wang, Fang, and Zhang families in Fenglin City. In Wangjiang City, the Lin family stands alone, proud and arrogant.

Especially after Lin Zhengren won the first place in the Three Cities Debate for five years, this momentum reached its peak.

Although there was the incident of Zhu Wei's lone gun siege later, it was not just the Lin family who lost face that time, but the entire Wangjiang City. Therefore, there was not much damage to the Lin family's prestige.

Some people are flourishing, while others are depressed.

The more those people flourish, the more depressed he becomes.

The Lin family's easy-to-obtain medicinal material business was lost, and Lin Zhonglun fell from the clouds to the dust overnight.

As a member of the Lin family, he had no worries about food and clothing. But in the past, he used to entertain friends at Wangjiang Building, but now he can only sell wine on the street and dream in the wild kiln.

He deeply resented, but was powerless.

Lin Zhongli is the legitimate son of the Lin family, an elite in the Wangjiang City Taoist Academy. His father is the head of the Lin family, and his brother is Lin Zhengren!

Some things are destined to be born. He didn't believe it before, but now he has to believe it.

...

"Full glass!" Lin Zhonglun walked into the wine shop like a walking corpse and threw a big gourd onto the counter.

The wine shop owner took the wine gourd and looked embarrassed: "Master Lin... Your previous two glasses of wine haven't been paid..."

"What?" Lin Zhonglun suddenly stood up straight, staring at the shop owner with a straight face, "Are you afraid that I can't afford the wine? Let's settle the bill at the end of the month!"

"Uh, okay, okay." After all, he couldn't afford to offend the Lin family's descendants, even if he was a broken-down wine shop owner, so he had to bow his head and pour the wine.

Suddenly a voice came into the wine shop, "Isn't this Brother Zhonglun?"

Lin Zhonglun turned his head and saw Lin Zhongli surrounded by a group of people. It seemed that he was doing something and passing by here, and then he heard the dispute between Lin Zhonglun and the wine shop owner.

"Zhongli... Young Master Lin." Lin Zhonglun said with difficulty. This scene was too embarrassing, especially when he was seen by Lin Zhongli.

Lin Zhongli looked up at the sky, then looked at Lin Zhonglun who was hanging his head, and said with a smile, "Good wine mood in broad daylight."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Lin Zhonglun forced a smile, picked up the wine gourd and left.

He almost fled like a bereaved dog.

"I suddenly remembered... the pharmacy seems to have lost a manager recently! They need people!" Lin Zhongli said casually behind him, as if he had just remembered something.

Lin Zhonglun's footsteps stopped.

He turned around, his face squeezed out a somewhat unnatural smile, "Does Young Master Lin think... I can do it?"

"Brother Zhonglun's ability is naturally no problem." Lin Zhongli smiled and leaned forward to the hunched Lin Zhonglun, whispering, "I heard that the widow you married is quite pretty... right?"

"Ruyi?" Lin Zhonglun suddenly took two steps back, "No, no way!"

He shook his head hard, as if he couldn't resist the terrible struggle in his heart without doing so, "No way!"

Lin Zhongli stood up straight, still maintaining a calm smile, "No pressure."

He turned his head and looked at the shop owner who was smiling and apologizing, pointing to Lin Zhonglun in front of him, and said loudly, "This is a person from my Lin family! Don't underestimate him! If he wants any wine in the future, just give it to him. We'll settle the bill at the end of the month at my Lin family."

The wine shop owner replied loudly, "Yes! Young Master Lin has spoken, and I dare not neglect it!"Lin Zhenglun forced a laugh and said, "Thank you, Young Master Lin."

"You're welcome." Lin Zhengli waved his hand and walked ahead.

The group of people crowded around him again and praised him.

"Young Master Lin is righteous!"

"Why call him Young Master Lin? He's the leader of the clan!"

...

Lin Zhenglun stumbled back home with a wine gourd in his hand. The wine today seemed particularly strong. He had only taken two sips on the way, but he already felt drunk.

It was a two-story courtyard that was cleaned up very neatly. Especially the front yard had some flowers and plants, which were well taken care of and particularly pleasing to the eye.

Lin Zhenglun was unsteady on his feet and bumped into a flowerpot. He became impatient and kicked it over with one foot!

Crash!

Song Ruyi hurriedly came out of the room and scolded, "Lin Zhenglun! What are you doing again?"

"What's it to you?" Lin Zhenglun glanced at her and walked unsteadily into the house.

Song Ruyi stepped sideways and blocked him, holding back her grievances and said, "You're always immersed in wine all day long. What do you mean? Don't you want to live?"

"Haha! It's interesting." Lin Zhenglun raised the wine gourd and laughed. "What? Do you want to divorce me?"

"Let's just divorce!"

"Haha!"

Lin Zhenglun laughed twice, suddenly smashed the wine gourd on the ground!

The wine gourd bounced twice on the ground and rolled down the steps. The gourd itself was not broken, but the cork was knocked off, and the wine flowed out. The whole courtyard was filled with the smell of alcohol.

"Don't you look at yourself!" Lin Zhenglun roared, "A widow who is willing to be abandoned! Do you think you can still marry into a good family?"

"What did you say? Say it again!" Lin Zhenglun took a big step forward, pinched her neck, and pressed her against the wall, his eyes bloodshot. "Say it again!"

Song Ruyi's face turned red, struggling and said, "You...just kill me! Life...is not as good as death!"

Lin Zhenglun let go and took two steps back.

"You're still feeling wronged? Are you still feeling wronged?" Lin Zhenglun pointed at her and yelled, "You sent silver and jade to An'an in Fenglin City, didn't you? You used my money to support your ex-husband's child! Do you know what our family situation is now? I can't even afford to drink anymore!"

Song Ruyi coughed for a while, then looked at the man in front of her, feeling that everything was too unfamiliar.

"Never mind whether I should send things to An'an or not. Even with just my dowry, I can send her things for ten years without repeating them!"

"Your dowry?" Lin Zhenglun dragged out his tone and suddenly shouted, "Where is it?"

He shouted, "Why the hell do I have nothing?"

"It's not my fault that you couldn't keep it from being stolen. Do you blame me?"

"I couldn't keep it? I couldn't keep it!" Lin Zhenglun's face turned red and his neck thickened, and he lost all his grace. "I just didn't have a good father! That short-lived ghost didn't leave me anything except the surname 'Lin'!"He glared at Song Ruyi and said viciously, "Otherwise, how could I marry you? How could I let people laugh at me? Laugh at me for marrying a widow?"

"Now you're resentful that I'm a widow?"

Song Ruyi's voice trembled, "You said you were a member of the Lin family, born into a noble family. Afraid of people looking down on you, laughing at you. I even left An'an behind and came to Wangjiang City with you!

I asked her brother to take care of her, and he's only seventeen years old! He hasn't even come of age yet! I even took away his family property!

My heart has already become so ruthless, is it wrong to send her some silver? Huh? My member of the Lin family!"

She approached him, staring straight at Lin Zhenglun, angrily questioning, "Do you want to eat, do you want to wear, do you want to live in a two-story courtyard, Lin family member?!"

Slap!

Lin Zhenglun slapped her to the ground.

"Absurd! Ridiculous!"

Lin Zhenglun turned and walked out, stepping on the puddle of wine, and slipped to the ground.

He quickly got up and stumbled out, "Too absurd! Ridiculous to the extreme!"

"Lin Zhenglun!" Song Ruyi lay on the ground, covering her face with her hands, tears streaming down, gritting her teeth, "At this point, I only ask you one question, when you said you loved me, was it true?"

"Ah ha, ah ha! Love?"

Lin Zhenglun kicked another flowerpot flying.

"Go to hell! What is this illusory thing?"

He fled the courtyard like a runaway.

He didn't know where he wanted to go or where he could go. But it seemed that there was no face to stay any longer.

He had to leave, he had to escape.

A homeless dog, truly homeless.
