Chapter 514 A Dog Beside Princess Huayang
Song Yanxi speculated, "My daughter personally believes that Princess Huayang married twice for the sake of the stability of Da'an."
Yan Qing nodded, her eyes full of admiration as she said, "As expected of the daughter of the Yan family, you have a very clear understanding of things."
Being praised suddenly, Song Yanxi felt a little embarrassed.
Compared with her grandfather and mother, she is not a smart person.
Sometimes she even felt that it was her scumbag father's bloodline that was not good enough that held her back as a child of the Yan family.
Yan Qing didn't know what she was thinking, but he felt that since she knew some things, he should have explained them to her earlier.
She would never let her daughter go through the same detours she had taken.
Holding Song Yanxi's hand, Yan Qing said earnestly: "The eldest princess is so smart that she is almost a demon. Her methods and courage are no less than those of men.
If she hadn't married a wealthy man, the rebel army wouldn't have had enough food and fodder to overthrow the tyranny, let alone the chance to escape."
"My daughter has heard about this."
Yan Qing sighed and said, "Things that have been passed down and known to you youngsters are naturally embellished and beautified.
Although I have never seen that gentleman, I have heard from my brothers in the army that he is as strong as an ox and very rough.
Princess Huayang is so proud that she would never marry someone like that if it weren't for Da'an's future."
Song Yanxi sighed and couldn't help asking, "Mother, what's going on between the Princess and General Lin?"
"Let me think about what to say." Yan Qing's face showed embarrassment.
She considered it over and over again, then said, "Your grandfather said that they both had the same feelings for each other, but unfortunately they both had family backgrounds at the time, so they were destined not to be together in this life.
But I think the princess has no feelings for Lin Zhongquan at all, it's just that he's just being too enthusiastic and wishful thinking."
She asked Song Yanxi, "Xier, do you trust your intuition?"
Song Yanxi: "I believe it."
Hearing his daughter say this, Yan Qing felt much more relieved and sighed, "That's what I told your grandfather at the time, but he didn't believe it. Instead, he thought it was just a little girl's fantasy.
Lin Zhongquan fell in love with the eldest princess at first sight because of her beauty, so he traveled hundreds of miles to catch up with the rebel army.
When he was in the army, every time he looked at the eldest princess, anyone could see that it was the look a man gives a woman.
But the look in the princess' eyes when she looked at him was not only admiration but also indifference."
Yan Qing even felt like laughing when he said this.
She lowered her voice and said, "Your aunt once said that Lin Zhongquan was like a dog surrounding Princess Huayang, and he was the most loyal one."
Song Yanxi: “…”
This really sounds like something my aunt would say.
Meeting her gaze, Yan Qing asked, "Are you wondering why the eldest princess didn't consider Lin Zhongquan when she remarried?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to answer, she continued, "He did ask His Majesty to marry Princess Huayang, promising her to be his principal wife and demoting his wife He to a concubine."
When Yan Qing mentioned this, he felt angrily. "They are indeed father and son. Once they become rich and powerful, they want to abandon their wives. Their behavior is the same and disgusting."
Song Yanxi felt more complicated after hearing this.
No wonder when Mrs. Lin was seriously ill once, she couldn't help but scold Lin Zhongquan in her sleep, calling him ungrateful and a despicable villain.
She raised two sons alone, and finally waited for him to become rich, but she found out that he intended to marry the eldest princess and demoted his wife to a concubine.
Given her temper, she would probably want to burn down the general's mansion.
"Mom, why did General Lin change his mind later?" Song Yanxi asked.
Yan Qing couldn't help but sneer, "How could he have changed his mind? It's obvious that Princess Huayang doesn't want to marry him."
She recalled, frowning and said, "After I gave birth to Bai'er, your grandfather took me to a farm on the outskirts of the city and raised me for a year. By the time I learned the news, the third daughter of the Lin family had already been born.
I don’t really know what happened in the middle.”
Yan Qing frowned and asked, "Xi'er, why are you so interested in what happened back then?"
Song Yanxi said frankly, "My daughter thinks that the uproar over the fact that Third Miss Lin is not General Lin's bloodline may have a hidden story behind it."
"You mean this?" Yan Qing thought carefully and nodded, "This matter is indeed a bit strange. When I talked about it with your aunt, I suspected that He's words and deeds when she first came to Beijing had offended people.
You know her personality. When she was young, she didn't know the rules as well as she does now."
Thinking about the previous rumors, she said, "Xi'er, Miss Lin San has already passed away. Why are you asking about this?"
Song Yanxi said, "My daughter suspects that Lin Tingfeng's plan to rescue her from the siege by the disaster victims was partly the work of her father."
Now that she knew that Lin Zhongquan had a close relationship with Princess Huayang, she couldn't help but think more deeply.
Old Madam Lin once said that Lin Tingfeng was the one most like Lin Zhongquan among the two brothers. When she mentioned him several times, the look in her eyes did not look like relief.
At that time, Song Yanxi didn't understand. She just thought that Lin Zhongquan had not returned home for many years, which made her feel resentful.
Now it seems that she had probably already realized at that time that the son she raised was exactly like his father in his cold-blooded and selfish nature.
He designed her to commit suicide for love, falsely accused her Yan family of treason, and personally led troops to slaughter the entire Yan family. None of these things can be called worthy of being called a "human being."
Such a cruel and ruthless beast without any humanity, how could we know whether she was behind Lin Tingxuan's death.
A healthy person who was able to escape from the farm and walk back to the general's mansion for two days and one night, died of illness.
Does Lin Tingfeng really think that others are fools?
Yan Qing's eyes were filled with anger. He grabbed Song Yanxi's hand and said, "Are you saying that this father and son have always been in contact?"
She thought of something and her expression became uglier. "How could I forget, they are father and son!"
Sensing her change of mood, Song Yanxi spoke before she could blame herself, "Lin Tingfeng has been raised by Madam Lin since he was a child, and he rarely spends time with his father. No one would have thought that they have such a good relationship in private."
She paused and continued, "Besides, this is just my daughter's speculation. Perhaps his resemblance to his father is just a matter of blood."
Yan Qing nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Xi'er, I understand what you mean. Tomorrow I will start to investigate Lin Zhongquan.
If they have any private dealings, the Lin family's intentions might go beyond just your dowry."
Song Yanxi said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you to do."
Yan Qing guessed something and said unhappily, "Before, you treated Miss Lin San as your own sister, and Bai Er was jealous for a while because of this.
A white-eyed wolf like her is not worth your bother."
Song Yanxi was helpless and asked with a smile: "Mom, do you really think your daughter is such a kind-hearted person?"
