A father who had ignored her for more than ten years was actually moved to tears by just a few words from the other party. It was understandable, but it was also self-degrading.

But now that she had said this, Lin Chunhuan really couldn't keep a cold face anymore. After all, she wanted to live a good life... There was no need to be so stubborn and ask for trouble. "Thank you, father, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Okay, okay!" Marquis Yuanning breathed a sigh of relief. He pondered for a moment before speaking again. "I just heard from your elder sister that you spoke to the Crown Prince today?"

Lin Chunhuan nodded gently with a look of surprise on his face. "How did my father know?"

Marquis Yuanning was overjoyed when he received a positive answer.

There are no secrets in the capital. The prince's unusual behavior is something that people of certain status and position can always find some clues if they want to investigate.

After all, whenever the prince comes into contact with a woman, he will have such a rejection reaction, and he can't pretend to be calm even if he wants to, not to mention that the East Palace wants to form a marriage alliance with the Marquis's Mansion.

With a little more contact, an old hand like Marquis Yuanning would naturally be able to see some clues.

Over the years, especially after Qin Zhaoxun committed suicide, no woman had been able to get close to the prince. Before the emperor appointed the prince as the crown prince, he had intended to raise the prince under the name of the queen, which was also legitimate.

However, the prince could not even look at the queen. He vomited uncontrollably as soon as they met, not to mention calling out "mother". So the matter had to be dropped.

But Lin Chunhuan did what no one else could do, even though she was a woman disguised as a man. But as Lin Yimiao said, some contact is always better than no contact at all!

"Father is a marquis after all, so he should have heard some rumors." Marquis Yuanning laughed and brushed off Lin Chunhuan's question. Then he asked, "Would you like to tell father how you met the Crown Prince?"

Lin Chunhuan frowned at this, looking reluctant. Finally, he raised his hand with a helpless look, "We met by chance at Qianfeng Mountain."

He refused to say anything more.

Marquis Yuanning also knew that his daughter did not have much trust in him and was unwilling to talk to him much, and he did not care in his heart.

As long as he can achieve his goal, the rest of the things are not important to him. "Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to talk about it, your father won't force you."

"It's just Xiao Si."

As he spoke, Marquis Yuanning's expression gradually became serious. "You've seen your elder sister's current predicament. Perhaps your father has neglected you somewhat over the years, but your elder sister treats you well. If I hadn't allowed her to, she wouldn't have been willing to take you to the palace to see the world. This is also for your future."

"Look at your second and third sisters. When has your eldest sister ever taken care of them? Is that right?"

Faced with this brainwashing from Marquis Yuanning, Lin Chunhuan just leaned back in his chair, looking at him with a half-smile, to see what shameless words he could say next.

Lin Chunhuan didn’t believe whether Lin Yimiao was good to her fourth sister. The real master of the marquis’ mansion really couldn’t tell at all.

In fact, I just don’t care.

"Ahem..." Still no response. Even a thick-skinned man like Marquis Yuanning felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and then said, "Father doesn't want you to do anything."

"However, given the current situation, your elder sister will probably have no choice but to marry into the Qin Palace. This will inevitably offend the Eastern Palace. Since you are acquainted with the Crown Prince, please speak a few good words for our family in front of him."

"As long as the prince doesn't blame the Marquis' Mansion, it will be fine."

What a cunning old man, he kept saying that he just wanted her to say nice things, but what he said and did not say was that he wanted her to seduce the prince.

It’s disgusting…

"But father, the prince doesn't know my identity."

"That's not a big deal!" Marquis Yuanning waved his hand. In his mind, Lin Chunhuan's words had already meant he agreed to his request. "My son is so smart, he always finds a way. If you need anything in the future, the entire Marquisate will do its best to help you!"

"My dear daughter, the future of our mansion depends on you!"

The wrinkled palm fell on the back of his hand, and Lin Chunhuan lowered his head.

Although the development of all this was exactly what she wanted to achieve, she still felt disgusted after hearing what Marquis Yuanning said.

Of course, the benefits of doing so were obvious. That night, she moved out of the dilapidated Chunlan Courtyard and moved into the four-story Tingshui Pavilion.

Seeing the exquisite decorations everywhere and the beautiful clothes she had never seen before, Lu Fu, who was called over, felt that her eyes were not enough.

"Young lady, Tingshui Pavilion was the courtyard where Madam Yi lived before she got married. How could the Marquis be willing to let us live there?"

Madam Yi is the younger sister of Marquis Yuanning, and she also married into a noble family as his wife. Marquis Yuanning's parents died early, leaving him with only this relative, whom he doted on very much.

Therefore, the place where Madam Yi lived before was naturally excellent. Although it was not as spacious as Yixueyuan, the scenery was very good. When you opened the window, you could see a bamboo forest in the distance. It was quiet in the hustle and bustle, and the scenery was beautiful.

"Why not?" Lin Chunhuan leaned back in his chair, nibbling on seasonal fruit. "Don't you understand my father?"

"As long as he can bring him enough benefits, he will naturally be happy to flatter others. What does a yard mean to him?"

Hearing this, Lu Fu's expression became a little stiff.

She did not bother to look at those luxurious and exquisite objects, and came forward to squat in front of Lin Chunhuan, "Miss, I don't know what you did to make the Marquis ask us to move out of Chunlan Courtyard."

"But...if possible, I hope you will never do anything that goes against your will and makes you unhappy."

Lin Chunhuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled and pulled Lu Fu up. "Don't worry, it's not that easy for me to embarrass myself."

"Now that my father has his sights set on Tingshui Pavilion, he'll need spies. If maids and servants are sent here later, you don't have to reject them all. Pick out the ones you like and keep them."

"You've protected me for all these years, you deserve to enjoy yourself."

Lu Fu wanted to ask why the girl wanted to keep those people even though she knew they were spies, but seeing Lin Chunhuan's indifferent look, she still obeyed.

Her girl is different now. She must have her own reasons for choosing to do this. She can't ruin things!

Lin Yimiao's high fever subsided on the second day. The King of Qin was quick and did not let her stay in the water for long. In addition, the doctor was a man of real talent and came in time. After taking two doses of medicine, she recovered completely.

Just as he was about to go to the Prince of Qin's mansion to inquire about what was going on over there, he saw the eldest lady come in crying, "My son!"

"Mother really doesn't want to live anymore!"
