"Why, I come to my own daughter's house and I still need to ask for your opinion!"
The expression on Father Lin's face was truly unpleasant. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it wasn't a good thing. Although he knew the man before him was the princess's biological father, the concierge didn't dare open the door. "Your Excellency, you've arrived too early. The prince and princess haven't even gotten up yet. How about... could you allow me to go and inform them?"
Although Lord Lin felt that it was a bit embarrassing for his father-in-law to come to his daughter's house and have to notify her before entering, he also knew that this was the gate of the Pingyang Palace, not some small family.
This is not a place where anyone can be tolerated for doing something wrong.
Even if he felt dissatisfied, he just snorted coldly and didn't say anything inappropriate.
The doorman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said, "Wait a moment," and closed the door.
Of course, a doorman is not qualified to enter the second gate directly. He can only find the butler first, and then the butler will pack up and report to the main courtyard.
After all this process, by the time Xiao Cen received the news, it was already half an hour later.
"What is he here for?" Xiao Cen sat on the bed, rubbing his eyebrows gently. The hangover discomfort was aggravated by getting up early, and he didn't like Lin's father either.
Due to several reasons combined, Xiao Cen felt that he was very restrained, even though he was just a little impatient.
But faced with this question, the butler was unable to give a clear answer. "This old servant really doesn't know, but... the princess probably knows. When I came to report, the princess was already dressed and looked like she had been waiting."
Lin Chunhuan was just waiting deliberately.
She deliberately revealed her love for the blood jade, took the thing in her own hand, and then carefully selected a good opportunity to force the thing on Lin Chunuan's hand.
What I'm waiting for is the moment when Lin's father comes to visit.
Of course, she didn't show all her emotions on her face. Father Lin was invited to the flower hall in the front yard. When she saw Father Lin, she still had a smile on her face, "Father, why are you here at this time?"
"My daughter was discussing this with the prince yesterday and was planning to go home later today. I didn't expect you to..."
“Bang!”
Before Lin Chunhuan could finish her words, a loud slap had already landed on her face. The bright red mark gradually swelled up, leaving an ugly mark.
"You can actually still laugh!" There was no joy on Lin's father's face.
His eyes slowly turned red with anger, and his hands were still trembling slightly from the excessive force he had just used. "Evil creature! How could I have given birth to such an evil creature like you!"
The pain in my cheek was itchy and numb, too real to ignore.
Lin Chunhuan stretched out her hand and wiped away the traces of blood on her lips. Since her rebirth, perhaps because Xiao Cen protected her too well, she had not suffered such an injury for a long time.
It had been so long that she almost forgot that being slapped in the face could actually hurt so much.
Poor her, she must have received so many slaps like this in the past.
Especially after being accused of adultery and sent back to the Lin family, she was obviously a legitimate daughter, but her life was worse than that of the maids in the mansion.
The servants of the Lin family all follow their masters and are used to flattering them.
With the hints from Lin Chu Nuan and Wang, being beaten and scolded became commonplace for her. At first, she could still hold on, thinking that it was just Wang's mother and daughter who were causing trouble. As long as she found a chance to see her father, even if her father didn't love her, he would not let anyone bully her like this.
Even if she was sent back to the nunnery, that would be fine!
But as the days passed, Lin Chunhuan figured it out.
This is the Lin family after all. No matter how powerful Wang and her daughter are, they cannot cover up everything. Therefore, without the consent of the head of the family, those servants would not dare to treat her like that even if they had more courage.
Her dear father actually always knew what kind of life she was living.
He just felt that she was divorced and had a bad reputation, so he wanted her to fend for herself, preferably die quietly. How could he care what kind of life she was living?
Looking at the face in front of him that looked somewhat like his own, Lin Chunhuan touched his burning cheek and smiled, "Father, what are you talking about? It's New Year's Day, why can't your daughter smile?"
Faced with her feigning stupidity, Father Lin was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed his finger at Lin Chunhuan's nose and never put it down again. "You, you dare to give your sister something like that? What kind of evil intentions do you have!"
"I just don't understand. Even though you weren't raised at home since you were little, I at least let you live to this age. Now I've even helped you find such a good marriage. Why do you have to go against your sister?"
As if he didn't hear what his father said, Lin Chunhuan found a seat and sat down at random.
She didn't go to the main seat on purpose. After all, this was in the palace, and no matter where she sat, she was the master!
The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, as if he was smiling at all times, but Lin Chunhuan's expression at this moment was not really pleasant.
The slight smile in the corner of his eyes was full of sarcasm. "I'm looking for my father. You didn't drag me to be buried with my mother when she died."
"You left me in a nunnery for ten years and let me grow up like an orphan. I should be grateful to you, right?"
When she mentioned the past, Lin's father's expression became a little more unnatural.
But that was all. There wasn't even a trace of guilt or indebtedness on the man's face. "Yes, I do owe you a little because of your stepmother."
"But if I keep you at home, neither you, your brothers and sisters, nor your stepmother will be able to live happily. It's not proper for a good family to quarrel all day long. I'm also thinking about our entire family."
"Sending you away is just a temporary solution, and aren't you living a good life now?! You are the Princess of Pingyang, a noble and honored woman that no one else can even ask for. What more do you want?"
The word "home" spoken by Lin's father.
Lin Chunhuan found it extremely irritating.
She actually wanted to cry a little, but for some reason, at this moment, she couldn't hold back a single tear and could only force out a weird smile.
The twisted expression on his face made Father Lin take a step back. "Why...are you looking at me like that?"
"father?"
Lin Chunhuan slowly withdrew his gaze, "So you still know that you are my father."
Father Lin felt his dignity was being challenged again and again, and his anger grew even stronger. "Okay, I'm not here today to hear you bring up old grudges. I want to ask you why you put something like a blood jade on Nuannuan!"
