In front of the palace.

Grandfather Lin knelt in the front.

Despite his age, he was shirtless. His upper body was tightly bound with hemp ropes, and he also had a thorn stick on his back. It was not easy for someone of his age to do this.

Linjiang and Linchao have the same shape.

Lin Qinghuan at the back was slightly better.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it.

A lot of people gathered at the door.

They all watched the scene with great interest.

Everyone was standing by and pointing and talking.

Feeling their teasing and mocking gazes, Lin Qinghuan lowered her head even further. Her face flushed red, and she didn't dare to look them in the eye. This was the first time in her life that she had experienced such humiliation.

But they had no choice...

This is what Grandfather Lin meant!

For the sake of the Lin family, we must do this!

The Lin family is already at the end of its rope and can no longer withstand further turmoil. Ning Que is now the true King of Ning, and many people will want to curry his favor.

Then, the Lin family is the best target.

Ning Que didn't need to say anything.

Naturally, someone would target the Lin family.

They are all common people now.

He does not hold any official position or title.

Lin Chao was demoted to Sikou and exiled to the northern border. He would face the Liao Kingdom head-on as a death warrior. Whether he could return alive was a question.

Dafeng and Xiliang have already reached an alliance.

The next step is to target the Liao Kingdom!

…

"Hey, what's going on with the Lin family?"

"Weren't you quite cocky a few days ago?"

“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s not easy for Grandpa Lin either.”

"He must be over sixty this year, right?"

"That can't be helped. Who made him have these descendants? Besides, you don't really think he's a good person, do you? How could this old man not know what the Lin family did back then?"

"The Lin family is a fence-sitter. They go whichever way the wind blows. When they saw Prince Ning inherit the throne, they immediately ran over to admit their mistake. It's true that the humblest people are invincible. How dare you come here?"

They all just enjoy watching the fun.

They had heard about what the Lin family had done.

The Lin family has been arrogant in recent years.

Look down on this and look down on that.

Many people have suffered greatly from it.

Now that things have fallen from grace, how can they not take advantage of it?

"What do you mean?"

Ning Que walked out slowly.

Everyone quickly raised their hands and bowed.

"We have met the prince."

"No need to be polite."

Grandfather Lin raised his head, his face filled with regret as he said, "Your Highness, I am willing to sacrifice my dignity today and seek Your Highness's forgiveness. My unfilial daughter, Lin Xianhong, has committed a grave error, and it is our Lin family who is at fault. I beg Your Highness to show mercy."

"You're quite an interesting person."

Ning Que just sneered.

He stood on the steps, watching coldly.

Speaking of which, Grandfather Lin was quite a character back then. He had heard his father say that Grandfather Lin had once saved the late emperor's life. Even when faced with an assassination attempt, he had dared to stand before the late emperor. It was precisely because of this that he developed the root of his illness.

Now he is terminally ill.

Without Baoshen Pills, you won’t live more than half a year.

"This king has stated this repeatedly."

"I divorced my wife that night, His Majesty's edict has been issued, and the head of the clan has even expelled Lin Xianhong from the clan. The fate of your Lin family has nothing to do with me anymore. You Lin family members got into trouble and were punished, and that's what you deserve."

"Get lost!"

Grandfather Lin’s face flushed red.

But he didn't have the nerve to argue.

Without even thinking, he bowed deeply and kowtowed.

"What are you doing?"

"I know that nothing I say now can make up for the injustice Your Highness suffered in the past. Your Highness is right. The Lin family no longer has any relationship with the palace. I do not expect to be forgiven by Your Highness, nor do I have the qualifications. I have come here today simply to atone for my sins and express my apology."

"It was my Lin family who was ungrateful and neglected the prince. Xianhong also married into the palace, but she didn't know how to cherish it, and even implicated the royal bloodline. She deserved the fate she's faced today."

Ning Que was too lazy to even look at it.

"This king said, it has nothing to do with me."

"You don't have to be so hypocritical here."

"If you know what's best for you, get out of here as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment."

Belated affection is cheaper than grass.

This family knows they are wrong.

They know they are afraid!

If the Gu family was determined to help them, they would probably show a different attitude.

After so many years together, he has already realized it.

I don't have any good feelings towards the Lin family.

They are all greedy and ungrateful people.

Grandfather Lin acted as if he was okay, but in reality, he was worried that the Lin family would be doomed. Ning Que knew what was going on in the old man's mind.

This time, they were putting on a show in front of the palace, simply to make a statement. Whether or not they could get his forgiveness wasn't important; as long as they could get others to stop bullying their family, that would be enough.

Grandfather Lin made up his mind.

Without thinking, he started to kowtow.

Because he was using so much force, his forehead started bleeding.

"grandfather!"

"father!"

"Ning Que, you've gone too far!"

Finally, Lin Xianhong emerged from the crowd. She hurriedly helped her grandfather up, saying with immense heartache, "My grandfather is already over sixty years old, and you actually made him kneel and kowtow in front of your house? Are you even human?!"

"No, are you sick?"

"I made him kneel down?"

"Are you blind?!"

Grandfather Lin pushed her away and angrily scolded, "Xianhong, why don't you listen to me? You're the one who caused all this!"

"I advised you to live a good life with the prince. You refused to listen and even cruelly beat the child you had worked so hard to conceive. Come here now and kowtow to the prince and admit your mistake."
