"Good idea!" The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yan Deyu inquiringly. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing wrong. In fact, in order to consolidate his position and implement his own plan, the emperor originally planned to take Lin Wanrou as his concubine.
At this point, the princess clearly understood! As long as she could find this eldest daughter, or invent one, Prince Jingnan would not be able to make plans for her daughter.
The emperor and the eldest princess sent people to look for Prime Minister Lin's eldest daughter, and the process was surprisingly smooth because they found the jade pendant of Prime Minister Lin's family in a pawnshop!
All of this was naturally Sikong Zhan's work. As for the jade pendant, it was of course taken from Lin Jinghan...
A few days later, a carriage was traveling on the bustling streets of the capital and finally stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Miss, please get off the car." Although the guards in the car called her "Miss", there was no respect on their faces.
A slender hand pushed aside the curtain of the sedan chair, and a beautiful woman walked out from inside. She was dressed in plain clothes, her skin was whiter than snow, and her face was as rosy as a peach. However, the coldness in her eyes made everyone at the door take two steps back.
This woman is Lin Jinghan.
"Miss, please come this way!" A nanny came over and pointed to the side door, intending to lead Lin Jinghan in through the side door.
Lin Jinghan curled her lips into a smile and leaned lazily against the sedan door. "Since you call me Miss, how can a Miss go through the side door?"
"Miss, you don't know that although you are the eldest daughter, you have not yet been included in the family tree. Only after you are included in the family tree will you be eligible to go through the main gate." The nanny had a smile on her face, but there was undisguised contempt in her eyes.
The eldest princess had already instructed that there was no need to be too polite to this so-called eldest lady, lest she suddenly become so popular that she really thought she was a phoenix.
"Is that so? Then please trouble Madam to inform the people in charge in the mansion. I will wait for them to enter me in the family tree before going home through the main gate. Also, you can take your time to prepare. I'm not in a hurry." After saying that, Lin Jinghan jumped out of the carriage by herself. She didn't ask anyone to help her, nor did she step on the stool prepared by the coachman. She didn't even look at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but turned around and walked outside.
The jade pendant, the only thing that could prove her identity, was lost. Then, people from Prime Minister Lin’s residence came to her. Even after she refused to go to the Prime Minister’s residence, they kidnapped Lin Lixuan and threatened her to go home.
She was certain that the other party must have some plans for her, but on the way back, none of the guards and maids were respectful to her.
The other party not only wants to plot against her, but also wants to trample her into the mud. What a wishful thinking! She wants to see if the other party can still sit still after she leaves!
"Miss, please stay!" The smile on the nanny's face disappeared, replaced by the usual harshness when she taught the maids.
"If you leave at the door today, it won't be long before this news spreads throughout the capital. In the future, I'm afraid there will be no place for the young lady in this capital!"
She just didn't believe that she couldn't scare a wild girl from the country!
Seeing that Lin Jinghan was unmoved and still walked out slowly, the guard blocked her way and said, "Miss, please stay! You must go home today!"
"What if I don't go back?" Lin Jinghan stared at the guard in front of her with a very cold tone, making people subconsciously afraid to provoke her.
The guard involuntarily retracted his hand. Halfway back, he realized he had been intimidated by a little girl. Annoyed, he stretched out his hand again, "Today, even if the young lady doesn't want to go back, you must go back! Don't forget, your brother is still in our hands!"
"How dare you, a mere guard, stop the master? Who gave you the courage?" Lin Jinghan's face instantly turned cold. She raised her hand and gave the guard's hand that was holding her back a bone-breaking blow. She ignored the guard's wailing and said word by word:
"Go back and tell your master that if my brother loses even a hair, you will never let me set foot through this door!"
At this moment, a woman in pink came out from the main gate. Hearing the guards' wailing, she frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The person who came was the eldest daughter of the eldest princess, who should now be said to be the second daughter of Prime Minister Lin - Lin Wanrou.
"To reply to the eldest lady, to reply to the second lady, yes, the eldest lady has returned, but, she refuses to return home now..." The nanny immediately came forward and explained what had just happened, not forgetting to point to Lin Jinghan who was not far away.
However, in the words of the nanny, everything that happened at the door was naturally Lin Jinghan's fault.
Before the nanny finished speaking, Lin Wanrou's expression changed immediately. She pointed at the people in front of the door and began to scold them:
"You bastards! Daddy told you to invite sister home, and you, a bunch of slaves, dared to act arrogantly towards your master! Everyone, go back and receive your punishment!"
After scolding the servant, Lin Wanrou's eyebrows, which had just been erected, suddenly relaxed, and she became as gentle as a spring breeze. She walked up to Lin Jinghan affectionately and took Lin Jinghan's hand in a familiar manner. "Is this beautiful lady my sister? How wonderful! From now on, I will have a sister to take care of Wanrou!"
"I never imagined that one day, I'd have a younger sister." Lin Jinghan glanced at Lin Wanrou a few more times. The woman before her had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, peach-shaped eyes, a small nose, and a playful curve at the corner of her mouth. She was very pretty, with a very innocent smile. She was the kind of little beauty that everyone loved. But she wondered if her inner self matched her outward appearance.
"Sister, let's go home and talk!" Lin Wanrou and Lin Jinghan became even more enthusiastic. They pulled her and wanted to walk into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and did not forget to scold the servants again:
"Listen up, everyone! This is my sister, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Anyone who dares to disrespect her is disrespecting me and my mother!"
At this moment, Lin Jinghan completely understood. This so-called sister didn't come out earlier or later, but just when she was about to leave. On the surface, she was helping her, but in fact, she was tripping her up.
Firstly, these servants would certainly bear a grudge against her because Lin Jinghan was punished; secondly, Lin Wanrou cared so much about her, if she still insisted on the servants' excuses and refused to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would appear petty.
Lin Jinghan shook her head slightly and sighed, "If Second Sister had come out earlier, how could these people dare to be so presumptuous? I've only seen stories of evil slaves bullying their masters in storybooks before, but I didn't expect to see it in person right after arriving in Beijing. Looking at their behavior just now, if I didn't know them, I would have thought they were the masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Since the other party wanted to find a way for her, she would just help her. She thought it was not bad to add fuel to the fire.
