The unfamiliar yet familiar face made the delighted little girl stop in her tracks, hesitant to go any further.

Is this stunningly handsome man her father? Lin Daiyu's little head was filled with shock and doubt. But upon closer inspection, it was indeed her father's features, only countless times more handsome. The overly stunning face made the little girl, who had been away from home for a long time, a little timid.

Qingyin's eyes softened even more as she smiled and beckoned, "Pin'er."

Only when she heard her father's familiar, gentle voice again did Lin Daiyu rush into Qingyin's arms like a dove returning to its nest.

The little girl, who had rushed into the man's arms, had so many questions she wanted to ask her father, but she swallowed them all back, though her smiling eyes revealed her great joy.

Qingyin could clearly sense the little girl's joy and timidity, and her eyes softened even more. Her daughter was so sensible that it was heartbreaking. Even now that she had seen him, she did not complain to him, but simply clung tightly to him.

Qingyin gently took Lin Daiyu's small hand, and the sunlight shining from the horizon shone on the father and son, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

But Lady Wang, standing to the side, had no mind to appreciate the rare beauty. Hearing that Lin Ruhai, a court official from the capital, was also there, she trembled like a leaf and was terrified.

She looked up with a slight fear: "Grandma, brother-in-law, I...I..."

"I don't have a sister-in-law like that, who doesn't even know what propriety and shame are." Qingyin said gently, but none of the onlookers dared to say a bad word. After all, if anyone tried to scheme against their daughter, they would be lucky to be scolded until they couldn't lift their heads.

The scolded Lady Wang collapsed to the ground. Jia Baoyu, who was hiding behind her, was not frightened by his mother at all. He had always liked beautiful women. Since childhood, he had been raised by Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia to be willful and fond of beautiful women. Right now, he kept staring at his extremely handsome and unfamiliar uncle.

Because of his young age, Qingyin ignored Jia Baoyu's rather presumptuous gaze. However, since Wang was his second brother-in-law's legal wife, how to deal with her would definitely depend on Grandmother Jia. He naturally couldn't overstep his bounds. But because of the issue of the legitimate son, this matter would definitely be minimized. Qingyin's sarcastic glance flashed by, and no one noticed.

However, this matter is easy to handle. Although he cannot deal with it directly, he can still cause some trouble for the Wang family. Qingyin thought to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.

After a while, as expected, Grandmother Jia followed Qingyin's words, scolded Wang Shi a few times, and then let the matter drop.

Qingyin didn't speak, but thought to herself, "Sure enough, although Grandmother Jia loves Jia Min, as time goes by, her affection will gradually fade. Qingyin doesn't doubt Grandmother Jia's love for Lin Daiyu, but that doesn't mean Lin Daiyu is Grandmother Jia's most beloved person. Wang Shi's handling of this matter makes this very clear."

The little girl, seeing the scene before her, followed her father's example and remained silent, only tightening her grip on her father's hand. Qingyin clearly sensed this and encouraged her by holding Lin Daiyu's hand even tighter.

Sensing her father's words of comfort, the little girl smiled sweetly, and the slight sadness in her eyes faded somewhat.

Although she was also her maternal grandmother's relative, her aunt was also her maternal grandmother's relative, so it was normal for her maternal grandmother to feel sorry for them. However, she was now also her father's most beloved daughter, just like her brother Baoyu.
