After An Xin heard about this, she felt that the girl had a serious mental illness and that Lin Zhenrong was a narrow-minded person.
His dismissal from office this time was indirectly related to the Meng siblings. An Xin didn't believe that there was any good reason for him to approach them so eagerly.
However, Feng Lingyun mentioned it casually, and it seemed that after Xuanping Hou found out, several visits to persuade him were of no avail.
She went home and made a fuss, asking the marquis' wife, who didn't want to care about her and her siblings, to find a few wealthy, friendly families of minor officials in the capital city who had good character and were of the right age to meet Meng Yulan, who had already reached the age of 15.
But the uncle, Marquis Xuanping, was really worried about his two nephews and felt that he could take care of them if he kept them in the capital.
But the two siblings crushed the true love of their uncle.
With Lin Zhenrong's intentional or unintentional instigation, the Meng siblings felt that the Xuanping Marquis and his wife were disgusting and hypocritical and drove them out, and even wanted her to bring benefits to the Marquis's Mansion through marriage.
The two siblings were like possessed. Now they could only listen to what their father, Lin Zhenrong, said, a classmate who they did not often interact with during his lifetime.
The word "stubborn" is expressed vividly.
An Xin shook his head and put the matter behind him.
Every day, apart from going to the Imperial College to play Cuju with Feng Yuxiu and others, he would handle some official business and then go home to lie down.
As for the sudden appearance of Xiao Wenjin, the first son of the Prime Minister's family, in the capital during this period, the story of how he was played too harshly by Princess Lingshan and became a disabled person was widely spread.
Every time An Xin went to the morning court these days, he would feel a chill on his back.
She didn't even need to look to know that it was the old Prime Minister Xiao who thought these words came from her, just to avenge his children for framing his students.
An Xin really wanted to spit pearl cream all over his face.
If An Xin had a grudge, she would take revenge on the spot. If she couldn't take revenge on the spot, she would just put the person in a sack at best. Such shady means were not her style.
An Xin didn't want to take the blame for others, so one night a dark shadow entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and stood at the door of the study. Prime Minister Xiao's close attendant heard a thump.
He looked around cautiously, and finally when he lowered his head, he saw a letter lying on the ground not far from him.
If there weren't several lanterns hanging in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he might not have been able to see the letter.
Of course, the attendant would not think that the letter was sent to him, so after checking that there was no danger, he took it in and gave it to the Prime Minister who was in the study.
"What is this?" Prime Minister Xiao asked, looking up.
The attendant shuddered. After all, he was standing guard at the door and someone brought in a letter, but he didn't even see the person. He didn't know if he would be punished.
"This letter was thrown in by someone. I am useless and didn't see who did it."
Prime Minister Xiao gave him a gloomy look, and his followers' legs went weak.
"Go down." There was no emotion in his tone.
This follower has followed him for many years, and Prime Minister Xiao still trusts him.
After his attendants carefully left the door, Prime Minister Xiao opened the envelope, took it out and unfolded it. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He thought that his son's reputation was ruined this time, maybe it was done by the female chief academic officer of the Imperial College whom he had always disliked, or by his political enemies in the officialdom, but he never expected that it was actually her who did it in the end.
Prime Minister Xiao didn't believe this was true. He walked out of the study and went straight to the backyard where the women lived.
It was not too late yet. He pushed open the unlocked gate and walked in. He waved and sent away several maids who had come out to visit after hearing the noise.
With dignified eyes, he looked at Xiao Wenrou who walked out of the boudoir, handed over the letter in his hand, and asked calmly, "What do you want to say to your father?"
Xiao Wenrou took a deep breath, strong and calm, and looked up at his cheap father with a gloomy face nonchalantly, "What did you say?"
"Does father want us siblings to continue to be at odds with each other and eventually kill each other?"
Prime Minister Xiao felt a little strange looking at his daughter in front of him, but after seeing her finish reading the letter, her expression changed slightly and then quickly recovered.
He faced him calmly, and Prime Minister Xiao suddenly felt that he was not as angry as when he first came.
Deep down, I feel a little bit of admiration for my daughter, for being able to remain so calm and composed.
When Prime Minister Xiao walked out of the yard, he thought that his son was ruined. If he told this matter again, just as Xiao Wenrou said, he didn't want his two children to become enemies.
Thinking about my son who had become irritable and ill-tempered ever since that incident, he would beat and scold the servants in his yard every day.
No matter how cautious these family members were in front of him, they would sometimes be turned away by him because of something they said unintentionally.
Prime Minister Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head in disappointment. Then he thought of something and walked towards the study with a gloomy face.

After Xiao Wenrou sent her adoptive father away, she returned to her boudoir and hurriedly patted her chest. She knew that the ancients valued boys more than girls.
Even though Prime Minister Xiao and his wife were nice to their daughter, Xiao Wenrou could still see that they valued their son Xiao Wenjin more.
Xiao Wenrou took the letter that Prime Minister Xiao did not take away, which could prove that she was the one who ordered people to spread rumors, and burned it over the candlelight.
The burning firelight illuminated her face, her small nose, her delicate mouth, and her pair of deep, black eyes that glowed with a dark light, hiding a sinister look.
She didn't regret ruining the reputation of Xiao Wenjin's cheap brother, because he had been blaming her for all the misfortunes he had encountered during this period of time.
She said that if she didn't want to plot against others, he wouldn't have been taken away by that devil An Xin to be given to that dissolute woman, Princess Lingshan.
Every time I saw her, she was either acting weird or looking at me with gloomy eyes.
A few days ago, Xiao Wenjin was unhappy, and when he saw her, he vented his emotions again.
Xiao Wenrou was not a good-tempered time-travel girl, so she stopped tolerating and fought back.
After what happened to Xiao Wenjin, Prime Minister Xiao and his wife forbade anyone in the mansion to mention what happened between him and Princess Lingshan that day.
But the annoyed Xiao Wenrou raised a malicious and sarcastic smile, and described in detail and inhumanely what they saw when they broke in that day.
The enraged Xiao Wenjin pounced on Xiao Wenrou like a madman.
When Xiao Wenrou was pulled away by the servants, her hair was torn apart and she was slapped several times in the face.
At that time, the brother and sister looked at each other fiercely, as if they wanted to kill each other.
This is why when Prime Minister Xiao received the letter, he did not doubt the authenticity of what was said in it.
However, because Xiao Wenjin's emotions fluctuated greatly during this period, the Cuju team that the Xiao family had requested permission to form fell into Xiao Wenrou's hands as they wished.
