Lin Xiong'an's study...
"Father, that letter really isn't mine! Father, you have to believe your daughter!"
Lin Qianqian knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably, and hurriedly explained to her father.
Lin Xiong'an remained silent, his face ashen, before finally speaking after a long pause:
"I know, get up! But you have no choice but to go through with this marriage. Today's incident has caused such a big commotion that the whole capital probably knows about it. Even if you don't marry, you might not find anyone to marry you in the future."
"Father!"
Lin Qianqian looked at her father in shock. Was her father going to give up on her?
"Alright, it's settled then. Don't worry, I'll prepare a generous dowry for you and make sure you don't suffer any injustice."
Lin Xiong'an comforted him.
"…yes!"
Seeing that her father was determined to accept the marriage and marry her off to that peasant, Lin Qianqian had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree to the marriage.
"Qianqian, did you put the letter in Yuxin's room that your mother asked you to put there?"
Lin Xiong'an couldn't understand, so he asked.
"It's been placed under her bed."
When Lin Qianqian talked about this, recalling the situation at the time, she replied with certainty.
"But how did it end up in your room, with your name on it?"
Lin Xiong'an frowned and asked, puzzled.
"Could it be that Lin Yuxin discovered something about Father?"
Lin Qianqian seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said with certainty:
"Father, she must have discovered something and deliberately put this thing back in my room. Yes, it was her, that bitch!!"
Lin Qianqian was trembling with anger. Her reputation was ruined, and she was forced to marry that peasant. How could she not hate him?
"You're right. I underestimated that girl; she does have some tricks up her sleeve. But what's with that purse? How come it has your name on it?"
Lin Xiong'an frowned, puzzled, as he thought of the purse.
"Father, could this be Lin Yuxin's scheme? Did she know all along and deliberately set this up for us to fall into?"
Lin Qianqian's intelligence was fully on point at this moment, and she quickly came up with this idea.
"Impossible. That girl has always lived in the countryside and is extremely uncivilized. How could she possibly know our plan? I think it must be that bitch Zhao Hanyue. Only she has the means to do this."
Lin Xiong'an thought about it for a long time and still felt that Lin Yuxin wasn't that smart, that she had the means to make him so easily fooled. He felt that this matter must be related to that bitch Zhao Hanya.
"Father, what should we do now?"
Lin Qianqian knelt on the ground and asked Lin Xiong'an.
"Go back first. Since your matter is settled, let it be. Don't worry, I will get justice for you."
Lin Xiong'an looked at his daughter sitting on the ground. After all, she was the daughter he had loved for more than ten years, and he softened and said...
"Father, I want them to be torn to pieces!!!"
Lin Qianqian gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.
"Don't worry, I know. I will definitely avenge you. You go back first. I'm going out of the manor for a while."
Lin Xiong'an comforted Lin Qianqian, then stood up and walked outside.
...
"Mother, Lin Qianqian deserved what she got today!"
Lin Yuxin followed Zhao Hanyya back to Xuanlin Pavilion, sat on a chair and looked at her mother, giggling.
[Now that Lin Qianqian's matter is resolved, the next part of the story should focus on the eldest brother! But Bai Weiwei has already been betrothed to the Crown Prince, so she shouldn't be a threat to him anymore!]
Lin Yuxin was happy but also a little worried, since the timeline of this matter had not yet passed, and anything could happen.
"Alright, Xin Xin, next up is the state banquet. Let's not think about anything else for now."
Seeing her daughter looking worried about her eldest son, Zhao Hanyue quickly changed the subject.
[Right, a state banquet?? This is the state banquet in the story. The State of Qi is making things difficult for our country, and the regent is assassinated while trying to save the emperor, then poisoned and falls into a coma!]
[However, the State of Qi launched an attack on our border because of this state banquet. The emperor, finding no one else available, sent my maternal grandfather, the Grand General of the State, with 500,000 soldiers, but he was killed in battle.]
No, we cannot let Qi succeed at this state banquet.
Lin Yuxin couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stood up, saying to Zhao Hanyue:
"Mother, I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Xin Xin, wait!"
Seeing her anxious look, Zhao Hanyue didn't expose her, but instead called out to her.
"Mother?"
Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Hanyue with confusion.
"Snow Shadow!"
Zhao Hanyue gently patted Lin Yuxin's hand, signaling her to calm down, and then shouted into the air.
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure flashed by and knelt down in front of Lin Yuxin.
"Mother? What is this?"
Lin Yuxin stared in surprise at the kneeling person. Could this be the legendary Shadow Guard? So cool, right?
"His name is Xueying. He will follow you and protect you from now on. I assigned him to you some time ago, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. You can ask him to do anything you need in the future."
Zhao Hanyue looked at Lin Yuxin and said gently.
"For me? Hehe, that's great! I was just worried about not having anyone to use."
Lin Yuxin was delighted; Xueying's skills were far superior to hers.
She only knows some basic martial arts, and usually uses poison or silver needles for self-defense. If she really encounters a master, she will be badly injured, if not killed.
I just don't know how powerful Xueying is. Maybe I'll give her a try sometime?
"Okay, go ahead!"
Seeing how happy she was, Zhao Hanyue smiled and told her to go back.
