Chapter 128: Ji Yun An is Leaving

Lu Lin kept the silkworm eggs and silkworms in one of the side rooms and he would check them from time to time. One day, Lu Lin found a few silkworms in his quilt, he jumped back and screamed like a startled rabbit.

The people in the county Yamen flocked to his room to see whether he is all right, they were so confused when they found their Magistrate Lu made a scene over a few silkworms. They found that behavior rather inexplicable.

Although they thought that Lu Lin was being a bit over dramatic, none of them said anything considering Lu Lin was their magistrate. They kept all the ridicules to themselves.

However, even if the crowd did not say anything, Lu Lin could still sense their ridicule from observing their countenance.

In fact, Lu Lin did not hate silkworms, but it gave him chills when he touched a few worms when he was half asleep.

Although raising silkworms was a profitable business, they were still worms.

It was Yuan Bao who had put the silkworms in Lu Lin's quilt for fun.

Lu Lin wandered around in the house with a pale face, searching for Yuan Bao.

"Yuan Bao has run away in advance, this little brat has gone too far this time. Some pranks are not funny, he needs to learn that! How dare he put worms in my quilt!"

Chen Xiao Mi smiled helplessly and said, "Kids are like this, that's why they are kids. Besides, Yuan Bao might think you like the worms as much as he does, I'm sure he means no harm."

Lu Lin puffed up his cheeks with anger.

"Yuan Bao needs some punishment, he is getting a bit unruly recently."

Chen Xiao Mi looked at Lu Lin and said, "It's just a few silkworms. No need to blow this out of proportion, besides, people may laugh at you if they hear you punish your child because of a prank."

Lu Lin pouted, 'This is so wrong! How can they laugh at me when I'm the victim! Have they laughed at me before?'

Chen Xiao Mi tilted his head and looked at Lu Lin, "What are you thinking, you look so serious."

Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiao Mi sullenly, "Do you think I'm cowardly and useless?"

Chen Xiao Mi smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be? You're a tough and fierce man!"

Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiao Mi and asked suspiciously, "Really? Do you really think so?"

Chen Xiao Mi nodded, "It can't be more real."

Lu Lin shook his head and said, "With that being said, I still need to discipline Yuan Bao and Mai, it's all right they are running wild at home, but they need to learn to behave themselves when necessary."

......

In the yard.

Chen Xiao Mai and Yuan Bao were feeding the silkworms, each holding a basket full of white mulberry leaves. They were both beaming with pleasure.

"Little Uncle, let me tell you a funny story about Father Lin. " Yuan Bao said in a depressed manner.

Chen Xiao Mai blinked and asked casually, "Funny how?"

Yuan Bao blinked and said, " Father Lin flew into a temper when he saw the silkworms I put in his quilt, he told me that he would punish me if I don't behave myself. How strange. It's a prank!"

Chen Xiao Mai narrowed his eyes, "I'm not surprised at all. You Father Lin now is all prudent and dignified, he is actually very timid. When I was younger, I showed him a snake that Qin Ming Ge caught for me, but you know what, your father turned pale immediately! I didn't even ask him to touch the snake, he just turned pale and stammered."
