A short while later, Wang Yu returned, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Master, we've found out. The neighbors next door are Lin Shaoyang, the second young master of the Lin family of the Minister's residence, and his sister."
"Um."
Li Xiaochen responded with a cold expression, his demeanor inscrutable, and then waved for him to leave.
Lin Yuxin, unaware that she had aroused suspicion, was engrossed in reading gossip! Her second brother, standing nearby, was so frightened by her inner thoughts that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Sister! No matter how you know so many secrets, if this gets out, you'll be hunted down!
Fortunately, my sister didn't tell anyone; she just kept it to herself.
Anyone who talks about princes or concubines should be beheaded!
Lin Yuxin looked at someone who interested her and turned to ask her second brother who he was.
"Second brother, who is that person over there wearing dark green clothes?"
Lin Yuxin pointed to a man sitting on the far left, with women on either side of him; he looked like a bad guy.
"His name is Lin Jun. We usually get along fairly well."
After Lin Shaoyang clearly saw who it was, he explained it to his sister.
[Lin Jun? He's that scumbag father's illegitimate son? Good heavens, I'll have to warn my second brother. He needs to be careful; Lin Jun is no good! He's been using him all along. With my scumbag father's schemes, Mother's dowry, besides being used to marry that green tea bitch into the Sixth Prince's household, was all saved for him. Besides, he's the kind of person who'd use you as a scapegoat if an assassin tried to kill him.]
Lin Shaoyang heard his sister's words and stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. What a cruel heart.
Although what his sister said was somewhat unbelievable, as if she knew a lot of things, he had a gut feeling that what his sister said was true.
He had no idea that his strict father was so scheming to get rid of his children.
"Second brother, you should avoid contact with Lin Jun in the future. He doesn't seem like a good person."
Lin Yuxin tilted her head and said earnestly to Lin Shaoyang.
Since I can't tell my second brother the truth, I can only offer him a gentle reminder, hoping he'll take it to heart. If all else fails, I'll find a way to cripple that Lin Jun.
"Okay, Second Brother understands."
Lin Shaoyang felt a warmth in his heart; his sister still cared about him.
The poetry recital was almost over, and Lin Yuxin, having finished watching the festivities, stood up and said to Lin Shaoyang:
"Second brother, let's go back, it's getting late."
"Okay, let's go!"
The brother and sister got up and left the private room. Just then, the door to the next room opened, and a tall, slender figure appeared in the doorway.
The first thing you see is a figure in crescent moon white, tall and elegant, with a face that is breathtakingly beautiful. The young master is gentle and refined, dignified and otherworldly.
Her face was cold and devoid of emotion, but that didn't stop Lin Yuxin from admiring the handsome man.
Wow! Handsome guy!
The figure stopped in his tracks after hearing the sound. Was it the same sound from before?
"Ah Chen, why aren't you leaving?"
Seeing Li Xiaochen standing motionless at the door, Fu Beiyin asked curiously, then peeked out and saw the two people standing outside.
"Greetings, Regent, Lord Fu!"
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Shaoyang looked over, his face paling slightly, and quickly bowed.
At the same time, he tugged at his younger sister, who was still swooning over her crush.
[The Regent? That Li Xiaochen, the Regent who held immense power and ultimately met a tragic end through framing? He's so handsome! It's such a shame he's dead!]
Lin Shaoyang's heart was pounding. "Little sister! Can you say less? Your second brother has a weak heart and can't handle any more shocks."
He hurriedly tugged at his sister's sleeve again and called out:
"Sister, quickly pay your respects to the Regent."
"Ah! Oh, good day, Regent!"
Lin Yuxin then realized what was happening and hurriedly performed an awkward and inappropriate bow.
Li Xiaochen remained silent, staring intently at Lin Yuxin. Was she the one who spoke just now? But he didn't see her open her mouth. Could that have been her inner thoughts? Were the words he overheard inside also spoken by her? What else does this woman know?
He'll die? No way!!
After a long silence, Li Xiaochen finally spoke:
"The Lin family?!"
"Yes, I am Lin Shaoyang, the second son of the Lin family of the Minister's Mansion. This is my younger sister, Lin Yuxin."
"Lin Yuxin? I seem to remember that the daughter of the Minister's mansion is named Lin Qianqian?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Beiyin, who was standing to the side, asked curiously.
"Reporting to Lord Fu, my younger sister was switched at birth and raised in the countryside. I only recently learned the truth and reunited with her."
"So, Lin Yuxin is the real heiress of your Lin family!"
Fu Beiyin said with interest.
"yes."
Lin Shaoyang replied respectfully.
"They're gone."
At this moment, Li Xiaochen suddenly said something, then turned and left.
"Hey! Ah Chen, wait for me!"
Fu Beiyin realized what was happening and quickly chased after him.
He had just seen Li Xiaochen staring at Lin Yuxin, which was why he asked, and now he's gone again.
"Little sister! You can't be so reckless in the capital in the future. Li Xiaochen is the one you can't mess with in the capital. You should avoid him when you see him in the future, otherwise even ten Lin families wouldn't be enough to save you."
Seeing that the two big shots had left, Lin Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and earnestly advised his younger sister.
Although my sister often keeps her thoughts to herself, she can't bear to say things that are too outrageous. If she accidentally lets something slip, it will be all over.
He's a little distressed now that he can hear his sister's inner thoughts, but he's the only one suffering!
"Second brother, why? Is he scary?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxin immediately asked with a gossipy expression.
