"You also need to understand that to gain something, you naturally have to lose something. Do you want your current status, or do you want those women? You can't have your cake and eat it too. I don't need to teach you this principle a second time, do I?"

Lin Dayong's forehead was covered in sweat at this moment.

He didn't know how he got out of the Imperial Study. When he stepped outside, he felt a chill all over his body and realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the palace where the Empress lived.

His shirt was already soaked with sweat.

It's early spring and still a bit chilly. He didn't know if it was from the sweat or the force, but he felt like he was in an ice cave from head to toe.

This reprimand made him deeply realize his own foolishness.

Previously, I always thought that I had saved the life of the Marquis of Zhenxi, and I had married the Marquis of Zhenxi's daughter. I also had military power, so I shouldn't have to be subservient to a woman every day. Even if this woman was a princess, since I married her, I should stay at home and have children, and be a good wife and mother.

Just like Bai Shi before, no matter if she is beaten, scolded, or abused, she should remain silent and honestly stand by her side as her virtuous wife. Even if one day she is to be taken away, she should immediately give in to her!

After all, since ancient times, the husband has been considered the most important person in the world.

No matter if you're a princess or a noble lady, you should listen to him. If fate wants you to die, then you must die.

But now he has finally realized that everything he has was given to him by the Marquis of Zhenxi. If one day the Marquis of Zhenxi wants to take it all back, he will never be able to defeat him with his current mind!

Therefore, before you have a solid foundation of power, you must keep your woman in check!

So he could only go inside, forcing a smile and acting mischievous...

Just as Lin Dayong was humbly and repeatedly assuring everyone that he would not make the same mistake again, at the post station, Lin Ru and her family all put on their night clothes.

Bai Shi tugged at the black clothes that were tightly binding her body, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"My dear daughter! Is this really okay? This dress is really..."

"It's too conspicuous..."

"Won't we be exposed?"

This was the first time Bai had ever worn such clothes. Although the clothes meticulously outlined her perfect figure, it was still too shameful!

Especially the rise and fall of her chest, and her two straight legs!

It looks like she's not wearing any clothes, after all, who would wear clothes but only underwear when they come out!

And this chest area, it feels even more shameful than wearing a bellyband!

Although the clothes are black, they still seem a bit strange.

Even the three brothers, Lin Bai, Lin Mo, and Lin Qing, covered their legs somewhat embarrassedly!

This thing looks exactly like someone who isn't wearing pants.

Although not a single bit of flesh was exposed, they inexplicably felt ashamed.

Lin Ru found it somewhat amusing to see the four of them acting so awkwardly!

"Alright, alright, not a single bit of skin is showing. What are you four trying to cover up here for?"

"They didn't say anything else. If we don't wear it, we still have to wear a cape."

"Otherwise it's just too cold."

"Don't worry, I've improved this garment! It's extra stretchy, so you don't have to worry about it tearing during strenuous exercise, and it will also blend perfectly into the darkness."

"We're off to do something naughty in secret."

"It's not like we're going to a banquet."

Why think so much?

"Hurry up, let's go."

"If we keep arguing about our clothes, that old beast will be coming out of the palace."

"I guarantee he'll win back his princess wife this time."

"I don't believe that the Marquis of Zhenxi, having heard the gossip outside, wouldn't give that old beast a good talking-to."

"And today's banquet, it must have been planned. I didn't go, so that they could use me to teach that old bastard a lesson and let him know who gave him everything he has now, so that he can support that old bastard to work for him in the future."

Lin Bai nodded, "I think the Marquis of Zhenxi wanted the people of the world to see how polite he was to guests from outside, while we refused his invitation, which was very impolite."

"That will make it even easier for them to smear us in the future."

Lin Ru looked at Lin Bai with some surprise, "Xiao Bai! You really haven't wasted all that time studying. The Quan family is indeed worthy of their name. They've taught you to be so smart in such a short time. They really are experts in their fields!"

Lin Bai scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm not very good at it yet. My master said I'm still far from being smart, but I will study hard and try to help my sister solve her problems as soon as possible!"

"I want to be my sister's most capable subordinate."

Lin Qing quickly chimed in, "Me too! Me too!"

"I also want to be my sister's most capable subordinate."

"How about this? My elder brother will be my most capable civil official, and I will be my most capable military general."

Bai asked with amusement, "Then what does your second brother do?"

"We can't forget about your second brother, can we?"

Lin Qing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Of course I haven't forgotten! It's just that there's only one civil official and one military official, and it seems like there's nothing else. But my second brother can make so many weapons and farm tools. Whether it's civil or military affairs, we need my second brother a lot. I always feel that my second brother is more capable than the two of us. But I've never heard of any official position for making weapons and farm tools?"

"Why don't you, sister, bestow an official title upon second brother separately?"

Although Lin Mo was used to his younger brother's nonsense, such praise still made him a little embarrassed. Although his expression did not change, his ears were slightly hot!

Lin Ru looked at Lin Mo. If you didn't see his red ears, you would think that he was completely calm at this moment, which made her a little envious of her second brother's extremely stable emotions!

If my second younger brother were in modern times, he would probably be very popular. Not only is he good-looking, but he is also very emotionally stable. In modern times where everyone is going crazy, he is a rare find!

She chuckled and touched Lin Mo's ears, teasingly saying, "Second brother! We're still inside, and your ears are already red from the cold. What will we do if we go outside? You should wear more layers later."

Lin Mo knew her older sister was teasing her, and her ears turned even redder!

But Xiao Linqing couldn't understand it at all!

He quickly went to his second brother, and with great concern, stood on tiptoe, wanting to cover his brother's ears with his hands.
