"No one can force me to do something I don't want to do!" How could Lin Jinghan let these maids get close to her? She waved her hand and shot a few silver needles into their acupuncture points. They could no longer move, but they still maintained the action of pulling Lin Jinghan, which looked quite funny.

Everyone in the hall was horrified. They had never expected that a country girl like Lin Jinghan could be such a master! No wonder she was so arrogant!

But this is the Prime Minister's residence, how can Lin Jinghan be so presumptuous?

"Humph! Do you think that just because you know a little bit of Kung Fu, you can do whatever you want in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Lin Jingshan looked at Lin Jinghan coldly and clapped his hands, "Capture him!"

Then, several guards came in and gathered all their internal strength to grab Lin Jinghan!

In this era, people attach great importance to a woman's reputation. If the news that Lin Jinghan was captured by her own guards were to spread, her reputation would be ruined and she would definitely not be able to marry into a good family in the future.

From this we can see that Lin Jingshan has no father-daughter affection for Lin Jinghan at all.

Lin Jinghan had no hope for this family and didn't care much about it. Suddenly, she burst out with a powerful aura, shocking the guards. Then, she looked at Lin Jingshan coldly and said:

"The Prime Minister went to so much trouble to invite me home, was it just to humiliate me? If so, Jinghan is really disappointed..."

Lin Xiang was a man, used to arresting those who disobeyed him, so he naturally didn't think too much about it. However, the eldest princess quickly discovered that Lin Xiang's behavior was inappropriate and quickly advised:

"Jingshan, look at you. You haven't slept for several days in order to find your daughter. Now that you see your daughter, why are you in conflict? We are all family. We can discuss things together!" As she said this, the eldest princess patted the back of Lin Jingshan's hand, and at the same time winked at the guards, indicating that they should leave.

They asked Lin Jinghan to come back because they wanted her to block the marriage proposal from Prince Jingnan. If some bad rumors were to arise at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort for them?

Moreover, what the princess said was indeed the truth. In order to find Lin Jinghan to come back and prevent the marriage, Prime Minister Lin hadn't slept for days! He was worried that if he couldn't find her, his beloved Lin Wanrou would have to marry a dying man like the King of Jingnan.

The reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion is so prosperous is mostly because of the eldest princess. Therefore, the one who really calls the shots in the mansion is actually the eldest princess. However, the eldest princess is very good at dealing with people. She usually acts like a little woman in front of Prime Minister Lin and always puts Prime Minister Lin first in everything.

Therefore, the guards left immediately after receiving the eldest princess's order.

Lin Jingshan's ability to secure his position as Prime Minister stemmed not only from his connections with the Princess, but also from his own political acumen; otherwise, the Princess wouldn't have favored him. He realized his impulsiveness, but the words were already out, and he felt a bit embarrassed.

The eldest princess stepped forward very understandingly and walked over to Lin Jinghan. "Jinghan, don't misunderstand. We're not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. The Emperor has already granted you the marriage to Prince Jingnan as his consort. The wedding is in three days. If you were to wear mourning clothes at this time, it would not only anger Prince Jingnan but also bring disgrace to the royal family. This is a serious matter, so you must put the overall situation first."

Wait, a marriage? King Jingnan? Why do I feel like I've heard the name King Jingnan somewhere before?

Lin Jinghan couldn't remember who King Jingnan was for a moment, so she stopped thinking about it. At this moment, she suddenly realized: This family asked her to come back just to get her married?

However, the original owner was just a rural girl. By letting a rural girl marry a prince, weren't they just randomly matching couples?

Besides, Xingqing Township is not far from the capital, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has not looked for her daughter for more than ten years, but they came to her at this time. No fool would believe that there is no conspiracy!

However, now that she knew the reason why the other party asked her to come back, then everything could be easily solved.

The eldest princess smiled at Lin Jinghan very gently. In her opinion, Lin Jinghan, such a little sparrow, could suddenly fly up to the tree and become a princess. She must be very grateful and happily marry her husband.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jinghan did not act according to their script at all.

"I remember the aunt at the door saying that I'm not in the family tree yet, so I can't be considered the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. So, the Emperor's marriage to the Prime Minister's daughter has nothing to do with an outsider like me, right?"

After saying this, Lin Jinghan even looked at Lin Wanrou, "I think the Emperor's marriage proposal should be to this sister!"

Lin Jinghan was certain that Lin Wanrou didn't want to get married; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find her, the so-called "elderly lady," and so she specifically picked up the things that mattered to them, just to see if they were anxious or not.

The eldest princess unconsciously clenched her hands, and her well-maintained long nails pinched her so hard that it hurt. The smile on her face fell, and she scolded:

"Don't talk nonsense. The Emperor has granted us a marriage, how can we treat it as a joke? You are Jingshan's daughter. The Emperor knows this and has agreed to your recognition of your ancestral roots!"

Lin Wanrou was also anxious, she walked forward and pulled Lin Jinghan's arm,

"Don't worry, sister. Everything about the family tree has been prepared. Tomorrow you will truly become the eldest daughter of our Prime Minister's Mansion. Then, you can just be the Princess of Jingnan with peace of mind. Our Prime Minister's Mansion will always be your backing!"

Seeing that they were anxious, Lin Jinghan was not anxious at all.

"Jinghan grew up in the mountains and never imagined that one day she would become a princess. Naturally, she would be very happy. However, Jinghan has to mourn for her mother and is also worried about her brother's safety. She really cannot marry. I would like to ask the Prime Minister to help inform the emperor that Jinghan will disappoint his kindness..."

Lin Jingshan couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Lin Jinghan in disbelief: How dare you openly disobey the order? Are you tired of living?

However, if you think about it carefully, Lin Jinghan has never seen the world. She probably hasn't even seen a ninth-rank official like a county magistrate in her life. It's understandable that she doesn't know that it's difficult to disobey the emperor's order...

"You know, if you don't marry the emperor who has granted you the marriage, not only will you lose your life, but your adoptive father's family will also be implicated! At that time, it is not impossible to kill all nine generations of your clan!" Lin Jingshan threatened.

"Punish the nine clans? Does that include you?" Lin Jinghan asked doubtfully.

"Sister!" Lin Wanrou stamped her feet and said coquettishly,

"Prince Jingnan is the God of War of Donglin. To marry her is what many girls dream of. Don't refuse such a good thing. When you become the princess, I will still rely on you to take care of me..."
