[What's going on? It's morning! Did this scumbag father spend the night here last night?? No way! They're about to get a divorce, and he's still trying to seduce my mother??]
Lin Yuxin looked at her scumbag father and went through all her suspicions.
"Xin Xin is here! Come and sit down. We'll leave after we finish breakfast."
Zhao Hanyue quickly interrupted her daughter's speculation, saying that if she continued thinking about it, she might already have a fifth child.
She feels disgusted just looking at Lin Xiong'an now, and she really can't bring herself to eat him.
"yes!"
Lin Yuxin snapped out of her daze, stepped forward, looked at Lin Xiong'an, and gave him a perfunctory greeting.
"Father!"
"snort!"
Lin Xiong'an looked down on this daughter, so he didn't even glance at her. He snorted coldly and said to Zhao Hanyue in a deep voice:
"That's settled then. Don't bring up the divorce again for the time being."
After Lin Xiong'an finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked out.
Lin Yuxin blinked, watching him leave, and asked Zhao Hanyue curiously:
"Mother, he came about the divorce? What did he say?"
"What else could he say? He said that the state banquet was about to start and he didn't want to make a fool of himself at this critical juncture and displease the Emperor. He suggested that they discuss it after the banquet."
Zhao Hanyue calmly ate the food she had just picked up and said.
"Don't worry, Mother, he won't be able to hold out for much longer."
Lin Yuxin was relieved to see that her mother seemed to be in a good mood.
After the mother and daughter finished their breakfast, they went out.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the General Zhenguo's Mansion.
Lin Yuxin and Zhao Hanyue were helped down from the carriage by servants. Lin Yuxin looked up at the magnificent plaque of the Great General Who Protects the Nation and suddenly felt a deep sense of respect.
The family of General Zhao Shijie was known for its loyalty and bravery. Zhao Shijie came from humble beginnings and joined the army because of poverty. He went through many life-and-death situations before finally becoming a general. Later, he made contributions to the emperor's rise to power and was directly appointed as General Zhao Shijie by the emperor.
Zhao Yingjie has five sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Zhao Yingbo, died in battle ten years ago, leaving behind his wife, Shi Hui, and two sons, Zhao Chenxi and Zhao Chenxuan.
The second son, Zhao Yingfeng, did not die, but he could not do much. Ten years ago, his elder brother died in battle, and he became a cripple, paralyzed in bed for ten years. He had a wife, Chen Lanzhi, and a son, Zhao Chendong.
The third son, Zhao Yingbo, was born prematurely and was weak from a young age. So he did not learn martial arts but instead took the imperial examination. However, he failed the exam three times. His wife, Qian Li, had two sons, Zhao Chenhai and Zhao Chenfeng.
The fourth son, Zhao Yinglan, and the fifth son, Zhao Yingshu, are not yet married, but they are also serving in the army under Zhao Shijie.
The only daughter in the General of the Nation's mansion was her mother, Zhao Hanya.
She was originally the most favored woman in the General's Mansion, but she was forced to marry Lin Xiong'an due to a conspiracy. Although the Zhao family was heartbroken, they were helpless.
They've been helping us all these years, secretly giving us a hand. Otherwise, how could someone as foolish as Lin Xiong'an have risen to the position of Minister?
Lin Yuxin snapped out of her thoughts and followed Zhao Hanyya inside.
When the two arrived at the reception room, it was already full of people, with two elderly people over fifty sitting at the head of the table.
The man looked stern, but his eyes revealed his joy, indicating that he was very happy about Lin Yuxin's arrival.
The elderly woman sitting to the side looked much more harmonious.
Looking at so many people, Lin Yuxin suddenly felt a little scared.
[Is there really that many people in my maternal grandparents' family? It feels like a joint trial. Are my maternal grandparents sitting at the top? My maternal grandfather looks so serious, while my maternal grandmother seems much more approachable.]
Zhao Chengjie frowned. What was that voice just now? Grandfather? The only person here who called him grandfather was…
Zhao Shijie looked around at the younger generation and felt that none of them seemed like it, and besides, the voice just now was a woman's voice? Suddenly, Zhao Shijie's gaze fell on Lin Yuxin, who was walking towards them.
Why is my grandfather looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?
Lin Yuxin felt a little uneasy being stared at by someone who had been on the battlefield and killed people, but it was only for a moment. After all, she was a modern soul and knew the greatness of soldiers, so these fears could be ignored.
Zhao Shijie's sharp eyes flashed.
"Father, Mother, I've brought Xin Xin back to see you!"
Zhao Hanyue led Lin Yuxin to the two elders and introduced them.
"Xin Xin, quick, call for help!"
Following Zhao Hanyya's words, Lin Yuxin sweetly began to greet people:
"Hello, maternal grandfather. Hello, maternal grandmother."
"Good, good child, you've suffered all these years. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Fang Lan felt a surge of joy upon seeing Lin Yuxin. This child had to be a member of their Zhao family. She quickly reached out her aged hand, took Lin Yuxin's hand, and said excitedly.
"Grandma, your granddaughter didn't have to suffer! You're back now, aren't you?"
Lin Yuxin was warmly pulled by her maternal grandmother and answered with a smile.
[Hmm, my maternal grandmother is so enthusiastic, I like it, hehe. But my maternal grandfather hasn't said a word. Does he not like me? But if he didn't, he wouldn't have asked her to come back, would he?]
Lin Yuxin secretly glanced up at Zhao Shijie, only to meet her grandfather's stern eyes.
Lin Yuxin was taken aback for a moment, but then gave Zhao Shijie a sweet smile!
[Never mind, Grandpa is a hero after all. Our mission isn't finished yet, so I can't let him scare me away! Okay, let's do our best!]
At this moment, Fang Lan looked up and saw Zhao Shijie with a blank face. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
