"Xin Xin! I was confused, I'm so sorry!!"
Seeing that Lin Yuxin had cried because she missed him so much, Lin Xiong'an, the old father, felt instantly satisfied and finally said an apology after so long.
However, these words made Lin Yuxin roll her eyes inwardly. Who cares?!
“Father, look at what you’re saying. You’re our father, how could we possibly speak ill of you? How about this, you come with me to the inner courtyard, and I’ll have someone find you a more festive outfit. Then you can sit here in this grand hall, wouldn’t that show the demeanor of the master of the Lin family?”
Lin Yuxin suppressed her urge to vomit, moved a little closer to Lin Xiong'an, and whispered an explanation to him, putting on an act of doing it for his own good. Even though Lin Xiong'an was a cold-blooded person, he softened his voice at this moment.
"Xinxin is so sensible! This is a good idea, quick, take your father there now, don't miss the auspicious time!"
Lin Xiong'an looked at Lin Yuxin with a kind expression and urged her with a smile.
“The father and daughter came.”
Lin Yuxin clenched the handkerchief in her hand, afraid that she might slap Lin Xiong'an's face in a moment. With a forced smile, she led Lin Xiong'an towards the backyard.
Before leaving, he gave Zhao Hanyue a wink.
Zhao Hanyue nodded, and after the two left, she sat down in the high seat and apologized to the guests present.
"Please excuse my poor appearance. Alright, the auspicious time has arrived, let's prepare for the wedding ceremony!"
"Yes, yes, let's get down to business and not let irrelevant people affect our mood."
Zhao Shijie nodded in agreement, speaking up for his daughter to lighten the mood.
Everyone understands that even if they wanted to say something, it's not the right time to say it, and since neither the prince nor the general said anything, they dared not say anything either.
"The auspicious time has arrived, let us pay our respects to Heaven and Earth!"
The etiquette matron, standing to the side, keenly observed and began to shout at the top of her lungs.
Seeing that his mother and sister had a plan, Lin Chenglie felt relieved. The wedding ceremony was important now, and he couldn't let this sordid matter ruin Qingxue's mood.
So he took Ji Qingxue's hand and led her towards the door of the lobby.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
With these words, it was clear that the wedding ceremony was complete, and the surrounding crowd became lively, offering congratulations and blessings incessantly.
The aunts and other ladies who were close to the mother all helped the newlyweds into the bridal chamber.
Although the last ritual of the wedding ceremony is entering the bridal chamber, nowadays it is only about sending the bride into the bridal chamber. There are still some rituals to be performed inside the bridal chamber, such as sitting in the tent, scattering the tent, eating dumplings for the deceased, sharing a cup of wine, and finally tying the hair together.
After all these procedures are completed, the bride will wait in the bridal chamber, and the groom will come out to toast everyone. He has to keep the guests entertained.
Sometimes, drinking would continue until night, so the wedding night really had to be done at night.
Right now, everyone's just venting.
"Oh!! Lord Kobayashi, time for some wedding night pranks!"
"Hehe, you're the kind of person who thinks the wedding night is more fun when it's lively."
While things were bustling around here, Lin Yuxin led Lin Xiong'an towards the backyard.
As they walked further and further astray, they were almost at the back gate. Because Lin Chenglie was getting married today, almost all the servants in the house had gone to the front yard to help, so there was basically no one in the back yard, and it was quiet at the moment.
"Xin Xin! Is it really necessary to go this far just to change your clothes? Where are your clothes?"
As Lin Xiong'an watched them walk further and further away, he began to feel uneasy. He slowed his pace and tentatively asked a question.
"Lin Xiong'an, do you really think you have any clothes left in our Lin family? If you did, I probably would have burned them all!"
Seeing that he had noticed, Lin Yuxin simply stopped leaving, turned around and looked at Lin Xiong'an with disdain, and spoke indifferently.
The respect and grievances that had been on Lin Yuxin's face were gone, replaced only by the indifference she showed towards strangers.
Lin Xiong'an then realized he had been tricked and immediately became furious.
"Lin Yuxin, how dare you lie to me? I am your father!"
Lin Xiong'an pointed at Lin Yuxin and roared.
"You should be glad that you and this body are related by blood, otherwise, you would have died countless times by now?"
Lin Yuxin didn't care whether Lin Xiong'an got angry or not. She looked Lin Xiong'an up and down and said something very blunt.
"You wretched girl, how dare you commit patricide! Today I'm going to punish you and beat you to death!"
Lin Xiong'an was repeatedly rejected and insulted by his own child, so how could he remain calm?
He had been observing the area the whole time, and since there was basically no one around, he became bolder and raised his hand to strike Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow and stood there motionless. Just as his hand was about to land on Lin Yuxin's face, there was a loud "bang!"
"ah!"
The next second, Lin Xiong'an was kicked away.
After An Er kicked Lin Xiong'an, he stood motionless behind Lin Yuxin.
"Are you still going to hit me? If you still want to fight, I'll have my men fight with you. I guarantee I'll leave you with a whole corpse. Lin Xiong'an, you really have no brains left. I'm a princess, how could I not have someone protecting me? How could I just stand there and glare at you while you beat and scold me?"
Lin Yuxin watched Lin Xiong'an get kicked, her face expressionless, but now she spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.
"You unfilial daughter! I am your father! How dare you have someone hit me?"
Lin Xiong'an clutched his chest where he had been kicked, a trickle of blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth, and looked up at Lin Yuxin, questioning her.
