Supported by their maids, the Lin sisters returned to the Lin family home, looking unwell.

Upon entering the courtyard, one sees a room full of maids tidying up Lin Yaxian's clothes.

Lin Yaxian was stunned.

Shangxue asked anxiously, "What are you doing?"

One of the maids said cautiously, "The old master said that Second Aunt is going back to Lizhou."

Lizhou is the ancestral home of the Lin family.

Lin Yaxian's expression changed, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Lin Yating exclaimed excitedly, "How could Father do this! Come on, little sister, let's go see Father! We'll enjoy the snow. You go and call Big Brother and Mother."

After saying that, he grabbed Lin Yaxian and rushed out the door.

Before long, they arrived at Prime Minister Lin's study.

Chief Minister Lin was an elderly man in his early sixties with white hair, exuding an air of authority, and looking at them with a stern face:

"You still have the nerve to show your face here? Haven't you made enough of a scene at the Princess's residence? Lin Yaxian, I told you long ago not to bother the Shen family anymore. Why wouldn't you listen?"

"Since you made that choice back then, you have to bear the consequences!"

Lin Yaxian's eyes were red. Why did she have to endure this?

Why must we be so rigid? Why can't we forget to start over?

Why are they all so fixated on this? They're being so cruel to her...

Lin Yaxian was in unbearable pain: "Father, everyone makes mistakes, why am I the only one who is unforgivable? Why are you only holding me accountable? Even a thug can become a Buddha after laying down his butcher's knife! I'm not even a murderer or arsonist! I just chose the wrong path..."

Prime Minister Lin's face darkened; he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

He was stunned when she came out of the Lin family home alone.

He clearly said to bring Manman! Bring Manman!

She then came out on her own.

She said it was for the Lin family...

Later, when the Shen family's case was overturned, she went back to pester them...

Although he also hoped that his daughter could reconcile with her son-in-law, and even swallowed his pride to plead for her, Shen Zhiyan clearly refused.

He went back and gave Lin Yaxian a stern warning.

After three years of silence, he thought she had given up, but unexpectedly, this happened today.

Lin Yating said, "Father is only angry about what happened at the Plum Blossom Banquet. But my little sister did nothing at the time. I'm the one who made a fool of myself! I'm the one who targeted that Ye family member. If you have any issues, Father, come at me. Why take it out on my little sister?"

"Shut up!" Prime Minister Lin slammed his hand on the table. "Lin Yating, you're a troublemaker! And you... are the one who gets stirred up."

As he spoke, Prime Minister Lin gave Lin Yaxian a sidelong glance.

Lin Yaxian was filled with shame and indignation: "..."

Prime Minister Lin stared at Lin Yating: "You are now the wife of the Fang family, and I can't do anything to you. But you'll have to bear the consequences of your actions!"

Lin Yating recalled the matter of donating grain and fodder...

At this moment, Old Madam Lin was carried in by servants.

Madam Lin was in poor health, and her illness would flare up every spring and winter.

Hearing that the old man was going to send his daughter back to his hometown, she rushed over despite her illness.

Accompanying her was her eldest son, Lin Yasong.

Madam Lin coughed and said, "Ting'er is also very devoted to her sister... As for Xian'er, she didn't do anything. Even if she wanted to see Manman, it was only because she was her own daughter. What mother wouldn't want to see her daughter?"

"Even if she made a mistake, the embarrassment she caused today is enough punishment for her. If you send her back to her ancestral home, wouldn't the embarrassment only get worse?"

"What, is our Lin family afraid of the Shen family?"

Lin Yasong said in a muffled voice, "Ahem, we should still be wary."

Lin Yasong is now fully awake.

Although the old man is now a regent minister, he is quite powerful.

But the young emperor will eventually grow up, and if he doesn't harbor rebellious intentions, he will have to relinquish power.

In terms of longevity, the Shen family is the best!

Why should they bother with the Shen family? Sure enough, whether it was their mother or their two younger sisters, they were all women with long hair and short brains.

Thinking about it, he gave Lin Yaxian a disappointed look, thinking, "She's so pretentious and incompetent!"

If she can return to the Shen family, he will respectfully call her "elder sister"!

In the end, they got nothing and made a fool of themselves.

Prime Minister Lin rubbed his forehead and said coldly, "Alright. Lin Yaxian, you are never allowed to get close to anyone from the Shen family again. Otherwise, I will send you back to your hometown, or marry you off. You choose one."

Lin Yaxian's face turned pale. Marry? Where could she marry?

Three years ago, Zhiyan disappeared from the capital with Manman, and she had given up on him.

Thinking that if you don't want me, fine, I, Lin Yaxian, am the most talented and beautiful woman in the capital. People who wanted to marry me used to be lining up at my door. There are plenty of people who want me!

When I remarry into a wealthy family, they will regret it.

But the result was...

The people who used to flock to my door are long gone.

Her mother recommended one company after another, but in the entire capital, no one dared to take her.

It is said that a wife who abandons her husband and daughter when he is in trouble should not be married.

Let alone marrying into a family of higher social standing than the Shen family, any decent family that values ​​reputation would be unwilling to do so.

Lin Yaxian became the laughing stock of the capital!

Moreover, given the current power of the Shen family, whoever marries her would be making an enemy of the Shen family.

Even if the Shen family doesn't target them, they can't stop others from thinking that way.

Prime Minister Lin picked up a book and slammed it on the table: "Alright, all of you, get back!"

Lin Yating, arm in arm with Lin Yaxian, left the study in a disheveled state.

......

Lin Yating returned home.

She was greeted by her husband Fang Jingcheng's thunderous curses.

They called her brainless and asked why she offended the Shen family.
