Acai's Sky

Chapter 284 Don’t Try to Overthrow Your Master

Half a month passed quickly.

On a sunny day, Ah Cai, filled with anticipation and curiosity, officially stepped into the gate of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion for the first time.

The mansion exudes grandeur and solemnity, yet retains a sense of refinement and sophistication. Every architectural detail seems meticulously crafted, exuding a unique charm.

Ah Cai followed closely behind Lord Lin, closely following his footsteps, measuring the entire Wuwei Marquisate step by step.

Lord Lin's face was all smiles, his mouth wide open, almost unable to close, his eyes full of doting and pride for his daughter, "My daughter, feel free to wander around our mansion, and tell me directly if you see anything you like.

Don't worry, in order to welcome my precious daughter back, Daddy has thoroughly cleaned the entire mansion inside and out several times, and even repainted it all!"

Hearing such caring words from her father, Acai nodded obediently, her heart filled with warmth.

She was carrying an exquisitely embroidered bucket bag, and something seemed to be moving inside it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two small and cute pets sticking their heads out. They were also attracted by the novel scene in front of them, looking around excitedly and watching with great interest.

At this time, Lord Lin noticed the two little animals and couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself, "Why do these cats and dogs feel a little strange? How can cats and dogs look so gorgeous?"

But seeing his daughter's happy face, he didn't think about it anymore. As long as he could make Acai happy, nothing else mattered.

So the father and daughter continued to stroll in the mansion, enjoying this rare warm moment...

Lord Lin brought Ah Cai to a three-story building and said, "This courtyard was built specifically for you, my daughter. Come in and see if you like it."

Acai looked at the small building in front of her and found it was almost exactly the same as where she lived.

"You don't need to look to know how much effort Dad puts into it!"

Lord Lin smiled and said, "That's right. When you woke up, Dad built it according to where you live. He's waiting for you to come home at any time."

Acai's eyes were slightly red.

She knew clearly in her heart that she had always had a weak relationship with her relatives and never thought that she would have another father due to an accident.

This miraculous transformation made her feel extremely happy, as if the god of fate had suddenly favored her.

She held onto Lord Lin's sleeve tightly and walked into the exquisite little building together.

Stepping into the building, Ah Cai said softly, "We may not be able to live here for long now, so let's enjoy it for one day at a time."

Lord Lin thought for a moment and understood the deeper meaning of his daughter's words, but he did not take it to heart.

Instead, he responded generously: "It's okay. Wherever my daughter goes in the future, I will follow her. Why bother about these material things?" His tone was firm and full of love.

At this moment, Ah Er also followed in and curiously asked Uncle Feng, the butler beside him, in a low voice, "Shouldn't it be okay for us to rush in like this?"

The housekeeper Uncle Feng helplessly pushed away the second master of the Tong family who was watching the fun on the roof of his own mansion all day long, while muttering to himself that this guy was outrageous.

Ah Er didn't seem to notice the disgusted look on the steward Feng Shu's face. He continued to poke him and asked, "Do you have any rules in your house that prohibit outsiders from entering the house?"

Faced with Ah Er's constant pestering, the housekeeper Uncle Feng had no choice but to continue to push away his disruptive hands, but he never said a word.

I secretly complained in my heart: You guys have already barged in so brazenly, and you are asking all kinds of questions and talking nonsense. It really gives me a headache!

Lord Lin smiled and looked lovingly at his daughter sitting in the small building he had carefully prepared, his heart filled with joy.

"My dear, when do you plan to open that mysterious treasure place? Are you in urgent need of money? No problem, the wealth in our mansion is at your disposal."

Lord Lin said in a heroic tone.

Ah Cai took a sip of her fragrant tea and replied calmly, "Dad, you may not know this, but several experienced farmers at the Tong Family Manor have noticed something a little unusual about the weather lately. So, we're taking precautions and making plans in advance."

At this time, Ah Er also came forward and interjected, "Not to mention that promoting high-yield crops requires a lot of manpower and material resources, even considering the large-scale construction of sturdy and durable houses and the consolidation of city walls, it is no easy task..."

Tong Shiqi, standing by, nodded repeatedly in agreement, adding, "There are so many things we need to deal with right now, and time is tight. The task is arduous and onerous, so we must recruit a large workforce to accomplish this."

However, Lord Lin did not seem to care, and shook his head slightly. Then, he said to the people present in a serious and solemn manner:

"You young men, all of you, are so arrogant and self-important, wandering around in the name of knights-errant, living a carefree life. But have you ever considered that this vast world is controlled by the current emperor, and all matters must be decided according to his will?"

At this point, Lord Lin slightly emphasized his tone and said:

"The most important thing is that the imperial power is supreme!"

It seemed as if this sentence was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

Lord Lin then began to analyze the argument word by word, "The so-called promotion of high-yield crops is nothing more than a concern for those impoverished people to avoid starvation if a disaster strikes. Isn't that the case?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him with sharp eyes.

Then, Lord Lin looked around again and continued, "This great achievement rightfully belongs to His Majesty the Emperor alone. It can never become the private property of any of you. Don't you understand this principle?"

As he spoke, he gently tapped the armrest of the chair beneath him with his fingers.

Finally, Lord Lin raised his voice and sternly said, "As for strengthening the city walls and building infrastructure, these should be the shared responsibilities and obligations of all civil and military officials. If everything is left to you, wouldn't that mean you will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, only caring about eating, drinking, and having fun without putting in the slightest effort?"

After hearing this, Ah Cai involuntarily reached out and scratched his head, with a very embarrassed look on his face, and said:

"However, our inferences are not necessarily 100% accurate! How could the Emperor believe us so easily?"

Ah Er then said, "That's right, can the emperor believe it? Do you, Lord Marquis, believe it?"

At this time, Ah Da on the side immediately spoke up and asked: "Actually, we don't expect to make any achievements. We just hope to survive this disaster smoothly..."

Seeing this, Ah San quickly echoed, "That's right, time is really too tight right now, and we don't have any solid evidence..."

Hearing this, Lord Lin suddenly burst into laughter. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"How can this be considered a big deal? After handing over the treasures to the court, we can explain the situation to His Majesty the Emperor. Even for the sake of these treasures, the Emperor will agree to your proposal!"

Then, Lord Lin patted his chest with a confident look and assured, "I'll leave this small matter to you to discuss with the Emperor. You don't need to worry about it. Remember, in this world, only imperial power is supreme!"

Finally, Lord Lin solemnly warned everyone: "If any unexpected situation really occurs, the emperor will naturally issue an edict of apology to calm the public anger, but this has nothing to do with you!"

"After all, the most intolerable thing within the imperial power is the existence of people like you who are full of heroic sentiments."

"Don't you understand the principle of 'great achievements shock the master'?"

Ah Er pouted, "Let's get through the future disasters and go out for a walk! We're all getting stupid staying here!"

Lord Lin glared at Er and said, "I just took my daughter back home, and you want to take her out to travel and enjoy the scenery. Is this appropriate?"

Seeing this, the others covered their mouths and shook their shoulders.
