"oh……"

The two were taken back to the marquis' mansion that night.

It had been a few days since she came to this world, and this was the first time that Lin Chunhuan officially met this so-called father. However, before they could even say a word, she was slapped hard in the face.

"Are you a waste?"

There was no anger on Marquis Yuanning's face, only endless indifference. The look he gave Lin Chunhuan was not like he was looking at his daughter, but rather as if he was looking at a stranger who had committed a heinous crime.

"This is the second time you've caused your eldest sister to fall into the water. How could there be someone as cruel and ruthless as you in our Marquis' Mansion? The Madam and your eldest sister didn't bother with you last time, thinking that you would remember their kindness."

"I didn't expect you to be so bold as to commit a crime in the palace!"

Lin Chunhuan frowned and touched her swollen cheek with a calm look in her eyes. Only then did Marquis Yuanning realize that he was a daughter who had always been timid.

It seems like she is not afraid of him anymore.

"Does father really care about my sister's life or death?" Lin Chunhuan asked calmly using sign language, but the evasive look in Marquis Yuanning's eyes did not make her stop. "Are you still worried that the position of Crown Princess will be taken by someone else?"

“Pah…”

Another loud slap in the face, Lin Chunhuan was unable to dodge it, but the coldness in his eyes became even more intense, "Did my words hit home with my father, and he got angry out of shame?"

"you……"

"Father!"

Just before Marquis Yuanning flew into a rage, Lin Yimiao rushed over with a high fever and quickly stood in front of Lin Chunhuan. It wasn't that she was kind-hearted at the moment.

But after today's actions, she realized that Lin Chunhuan and King Qin were actually somewhat familiar with each other, otherwise she would not even know that the old doctor was King Qin's man.

She was afraid that these slaps would ruin the marriage she had fought so hard for.

"Father, please don't blame Fourth Sister. Today's incident really has nothing to do with her. It was my daughter who had an argument with Miss Zhang, and she couldn't win the argument, so she pushed me into the water."

"The fourth sister wasn't with my daughter at that time, so I really can't blame her!"

Marquis Yuanning was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He snorted coldly and glared at Lin Chunhuan, "Then she deserves a beating too!"

"A sister from the same family, if she doesn't protect you when something happens, what's the point of raising her!"

'Of course.'

Lin Chunhuan took two steps back, "In my father's eyes, only a daughter like me who died in place of my elder sister can be considered useful."

Seeing that Lin Chunhuan was a little angry, Lin Yimiao quickly pulled Yuanning Hou aside and said, "Father, don't be angry!"

"Today, my daughter and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin were intimate, and many people saw it. The Concubine Dowager said that as long as my daughter is willing, the position of Princess of Qin will be hers. She will come to propose marriage soon. Whether it's the Crown Princess or the Princess of Qin, they will never bring disgrace to our Marquisate."

Lin Yimiao's words finally softened the expression of Marquis Yuanning. "But the King of Qin and the Crown Prince are still a little bit inferior. My son's talent is really worth using!"

"You can't say that."

Lin Yimiao's face was mysterious, and he lowered his voice even more. "Others don't know that the prince is afraid of his daughter, but you, father, know it. Even if my daughter marries him, I'm afraid she won't be favored by the prince."

"On the contrary, it's the King of Qin. He is at least a normal man. As long as my daughter works hard and gives birth to a child for His Highness, His Highness will side with her, even if it's for his own son or daughter, right?"

"And..." Lin Yimiao glanced in the direction where Lin Chunhuan was standing, "The Crown Prince is also at the Prince of Qin's Mansion today, so my daughter can't even get close to him."

"It's the fourth sister who has been with the prince for quite some time. It seems they knew each other before. Father probably doesn't know yet. The fourth sister is very capable...!"

Now it was Marquis Yuanning who was surprised. He stared at Lin Yimiao in shock for a long while, "Are you serious?!"

"nature!"

Lin Yimiao's words were so convincing that even if they were false, she made them sound true. "Father, if you don't believe me, just ask the prince if he is looking for a young master named Lin."

"Just bring the portrait of the person you're looking for and take a look at it, and everything will become clear, won't it?"

The father and daughter stood very close to each other and spoke in low voices. Lin Chunhuan couldn't actually hear what they were saying, but he knew what they were saying.

Lin Yimiao's words were taught to her word by word when she was in the palace. The matter of the Eastern Palace looking for someone was not a small matter.

Not many people in Kyoto know her face, but there are always those who recognize her.

The fact that Young Master Lin Chun is the fourth daughter of the Marquisate, Lin Chunhuan, cannot be concealed for long. Instead of letting Marquis Yuanning hear about it from somewhere else, it would be better for her to expose it on her own initiative and get some help.

"Why choose between the Eastern Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace? Both should be used by my father."

The King of Qin was right when he said that although not all men are heartless, most of them are more realistic than women. As long as the benefits are sufficient, no matter how much they dislike something, it can be turned into love.

For a moment, the look in Marquis Yuanning's eyes when he looked at Lin Chunhuan was much softer than before.

"Miaomiao still has a high fever. Go back and have a good rest. I have something to say to Xiaosi."

Hearing what Yuanning Hou said, Lin Yimiao responded and gave Lin Chunhuan a look before leaving, "Father, please talk to Fourth Sister well. Fourth Sister has been with me all day and is also very tired."

"My daughter is leaving."

After Lin Yimiao left, Marquis Yuanning drove everyone else out. The atmosphere in the main hall was a little awkward. After a long while, Marquis Yuanning coughed lightly and said, "Since Miaomiao said you were tired all day."

"Then sit down and talk."

In response to this, Lin Chunhuan just smiled indifferently. He did not stand out of anger, but just found a random seat to sit down.

Standing is so tiring. Others won’t feel sorry for her, she has to feel sorry for herself.

Marquis Yuanning let out a long sigh, "Ah... Father, did I hurt you just now?"

Marquis Yuanning didn't feel embarrassed when he didn't get a response. After all, he was a veteran in the officialdom and had a thick skin. "Actually, father loves you sisters equally."

"Your eldest sister's marriage to the Crown Prince has been widely rumored, and now this incident has occurred. Father is worried about her safety and the wrath of the royal family. He is so anxious... Never mind. Father is wrong today."

"Later, have the maidservant beside you go to Madam and get some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment. Take good care of her. She's a girl, so make sure there aren't any marks on her face."

For a moment, Lin Chunhuan actually had the urge to cry.

She didn't know where this impulse came from. If it was a trace of emotion from the original owner, she would just think that these tears were cheap.
