The next day, Lin Mo got up early and went to Sun Mian's residence.

He entered without any hindrance. This time, instead of going to the back garden, Sun Mian chose to lie in his room and pretend to be sick.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard arguing inside.

"Father, please stop pretending to be sick!" Sun Ruoxi said. "Brother Lin Mo needs your help right now. The capital is in such chaos, and the Great Xia is in such chaos. We need you to stabilize the situation!"

"You're his father-in-law. How can you lie at home pretending to be sick all day at such a crucial time?"

"Father-in-law? How many times have I told you, I absolutely disagree with your marriage!" Sun Mian coughed angrily. "Even if I starve to death in bed, die outside, or jump off the city wall, I will still agree!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo exclaimed, "Holy crap, you've even learned that phrase! It's so catchy!"

At this moment, Sun Ruoxi laughed, "Father, it's not that I'm criticizing you. Whether I marry or not is not your decision!" She said, "Now Brother Lin Mo is the Regent, hehe..."

Sun Mian was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Yes, the entire capital city is now under Lin Mo's control.

Another option is to force Sun Ruoxi to marry him by threatening suicide or shaving her head.

But Sun Ruoxi had already decided on Lin Mo and was determined to marry no one else.

This completely baffled Sun Mian. Breaking up a loving couple only works if you have the power to do so.

"You little brat...you're driving me crazy!" Sun Mian was both angry and anxious.

“Father, listen to your daughter’s advice,” Sun Ruoxi said earnestly, “Stop being stubborn and wholeheartedly help your son-in-law!”

"Absolutely not!" Sun Mian insisted. "Unless I die!"

“Father, why did you do this?” Sun Ruoxi sighed. “Don’t I know you? If you had stood firm back then, perhaps the matter of the Great Xia Empress would never have happened.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Mian trembled.

The saying goes that no one knows a daughter better than her father, and conversely, no one knows a father better than his daughter.

When Empress Wei Maozhen tried to win over Sun Mian, she used both enticement and coercion.

“Father, on another note, I have another question for you,” Sun Ruoxi continued, “Shouldn’t Wei Maozhen and Li Hu have died?”

Sun Mian was speechless.

“Daughter knows that you want to say that Brother Lin Mo’s actions have caused such a chaotic situation,” Sun Ruoxi said. “But, looking at the thousands of years of history of this continent, which monarch who has gone down in history did not win in chaos?”

As the saying goes, "Times create heroes." If the world is not in great chaos, how can the cards be completely reshuffled? How can great achievements be made?

According to the current laws that exempt scholars and officials from punishment, those who betray their country or plot to usurp the throne can escape death.

Where is the fairness? Where is the justice?

If these harmful rules and regulations are not broken, how can the people of the world truly enjoy peace?

These remarks left Sun Mian speechless.

Standing outside the door, Lin Mo couldn't contain his excitement and shouted, "Well said, my beloved concubine!"
