Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 24: Coming to Lin Family Residence

"Ow! Ouch!" Yan was being treated by the doctor when he returned to the palace. Ming Hui didn't help him at all and only talked with Soujin who came with them.

"Why didn't you stop him? With your skills it was easy to block him," Yan looked at his best friend resentfully. If only he stepped up and blocked Jun Min's attacks, he won't end up with another set of bruises all over his body.

"You deserve it," Soujin said a simple sentence.

Yan felt defeated. Just a few days ago, this person had beaten him up even more badly to the point that he was not able to come out of his room for two days. Now that another person had beaten him up, he didn't bother to help him. What a good friend he was!

Ming Hui coughed a bit. "But Brother Soujin was right. Jun Min is still too young for that, so it's just natural that he got angry. Besides, not every man is like Third Brother who chases after girls day and night."

"Don't say those kinds of words! You have gotten our bad influence!" Yan said helplessly.

Ming Hui stuck her tongue out before retreating back to her room. It soon will be dark and it's improper to stay at her brother's residence too late. After Ming Hui left, Yan leaned back on the chair helplessly.

Soujin stared at him. "Stop pretending, Jun Min didn't use that much of power to strike you. Besides, you have learned a bit of martial arts." 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

"Still, I cannot compare to a general," Yan retorted. That little boy surprisingly held so much power. Even Yan himself knew that he was not the boy's match despite his training in martial arts.

Soujin picked up a cup on the table and sip his tea. "The plan was successful. You can rest easy for the next few days."

"Really? So quick?"

"En," Soujin nodded. "Thanks to some unexpected help."

"Then it's time for drinking!"

That night, the two men drank heartily that come the next morning, Yan wasn't able to attend the morning court because he was sick.

Inside his residence, Yan could not get up from bed because he drank too much wine the day before. The hangover made him dizzy. On the other hand, Soujin's tolerance for alcohol was much higher, so he was still relatively fine and returned to his residence before it was too late at night.

…

Jun family residence

Jun Zhenxian stared at the 'boy' in front of him helplessly. "Why are you dressed up as Jun Min? Didn't you say that you wanted to go to Lin family residence?"

"Of course, this is to give Jun Hua some backing," Jun Hua answered. "If I don't show up as Jun Min, they might not know about my 'affection' towards my sister."

Jun Zhenxian felt that his granddaughter had gotten some bad influence from him. Now she could even lie with such a straight face!

"Take care of yourself. If you don't feel comfortable there, you can always return."

"Yes, thank you Grandfather."

Jun Hua smiled at her grandfather and didn't say anything further. There was nothing else she could say as her grandfather understood that she had her own thoughts. Before long, the carriages were ready and Jun Hua helped in picking up her belongings. Yamin, who was dressed up as Jun Hua, only stood on the side quietly.

"It's time to go," Jun Hua got into one of the carriages, while Yamin and Xia got into the other.

The Lin family members were waiting in their courtyard. Lin Tang heard from Jun Zhenxian the night before that Jun Hua agreed to come here. Because of his meeting with the emperor the day before, he was relieved and confident that his plan would go smoothly.

Beside him, Chun Maora stood quietly. She was actually angry about Jun Hua's arrival at the Lin family estate. But no matter how much she complained, Lin Tang won't change his decision. She could only stand there with suppressed rage deep inside her heart.

Lin San and Lin Hong were standing calmly. Lin San heard about Jun Hua's arrival. Normally, she wouldn't have bothered, but this time she had to wait there and welcome her. On the side, Lin Hong was expressionless. No one could know what this little boy was thinking.

Lin Yuan was standing beside her mother and on the other side was a boy around the age of thirteen. The boy looked fairly small and thin for his age, that his mother kept him away from the other children. With one look, it was clear that they have been through a lot in this residence.

When the carriages arrived, the servants came out to help them carry Jun Hua's belongings. Jun Hua didn't bring a lot of things, only those she needed and some personal things. Xia came out first before helping 'Jun Hua' out of the carriage. The people who were standing there could see for themselves a beautiful figure wearing a veil walking towards them.

"Jun Hua greets father, mother, brother, and sister," Yamin said in soft voice.

Lin Tang was about to let Chun Maora guide the girl when he saw a young man emerge from the other carriage. The person stature was not big, but his presence alone had brought a lot of pressure to him. Chun Maora and the others also turned their eyes towards that person and completely ignored 'Jun Hua'.

'Jun Min' smiled at the group of people in front. Her smile was indifferent but still not cold.

"Prime Minister Lin Tang, Madam Lin," Jun Hua only greeted two people.

Lin Tang's smile turned warmer. "Young General Jun Min. It's a surprise to see you here."

Jun Hua nodded. "I'm here to escort my little sister."

Lin San sneakily looked at Jun Hua and her heart skipped a beat. She finally understood why her sister fell for him. Handsome, strong and famous; who among the maidens won't have their hearts moved?

Lin Hong could clearly feel the emotional fluctuation his sister felt. At that moment, he realized that Jun Min was truly an eyesore. With such a good abilities, why did he have to appear within this family?

Lin Yuan's heart was pounding heavily. She once again felt that she had fallen in love with this young man in front of her. Sadly, his gaze never once came to her.

The little boy at the side only gave a sidelong glance at Jun Hua, but he didn't have much reaction.

As Jun Hua talked with Lin Tang, she observed all of her siblings' reactions. She felt that her time in this residence was going to be quite interesting.
