Chapter 129: Selection of Crown Princess



Wang Lanye was helped up by her father and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Wang Lanye found it difficult to speak about what Lin Zan had just said, but for the sake of her own future happiness, she still spoke it out intermittently.

After hearing what his daughter said, Minister Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he staggered back several steps, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

Then Minister Wang called his wife, Wang Lanye's mother, and the family sat together to discuss the matter, and suddenly there was some chaos.

Lin Zan, who was enjoying a meal at the moment, had already guessed what happened in Shangshu Wang's mansion.

After she finished eating contentedly, she wiped the corners of her mouth and said to Langya beside her, "Langya, do you think that Shangshu Wang will choose to solve this matter quietly or make a big fuss?"

"Miss, for the sake of the royal family's reputation, I'm sure Minister Wang will not make a big deal out of this matter. However, if the Wang family fears the royal power, they may not cancel the engagement as you think." Langya said reasonably.

Lin Zan also nodded and frowned as she began to think. Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a noisy quarrel suddenly came from downstairs.

Curious, Lin Zan opened the door of the box and looked down the stairs, and unexpectedly saw the two sisters of the Tang family standing downstairs.

"Why are there no more private rooms? If not, let others vacate one." Tang Yu said domineeringly to the shopkeeper in front of him.

The shopkeeper's face was full of embarrassment. The capital was full of powerful people and he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he had to bow and apologize to Tang Yu.

"Miss Tang, the private rooms upstairs are full of important people, and I cannot afford to offend any of them. Please don't embarrass me anymore, Miss Tang."

The shopkeeper stood in front of the two sisters and begged for mercy repeatedly, but Tang Yu refused to give in. He even arrogantly picked up a plate of leftovers next to him and poured it on the shopkeeper's head.

"If you can't vacate a private room, you'll be a waste. Others can't afford to offend you, but do you dare to offend our Tang family?" Tang Yuhan said with a cold face.

Everyone around looked over here, but Tang Xiuzhe did not stop his sister's behavior from beginning to end until the people around started to talk about it.

Tang Xiu then gently raised her hand, and said softly with a smile as gentle as spring breeze. "Forget it, Xiaoyu, if there is no private room, then we can go somewhere else, so as not to embarrass the shopkeeper."

"No, I must eat the osmanthus sea bass here today." Tang Yu pouted and said very dissatisfiedly, then glanced towards the private room upstairs.

At this glance, he happened to see Lin Zan who was watching the fun at the railing, and his eyes widened instantly.

When Lin Zan saw that he was discovered, he did not panic, and even waved at Tang Yu with a smile, watching the fun with a sense of justification.

"Sister, we have a private room." Tang Yu's eyes rolled around, and then she pulled the frowning Tang Xiu directly to the second floor.

He pointed at Lin Zhan arrogantly and shouted, "Lin Zhan, give up your box."

This arrogant attitude made Lin Zhan's expression slightly stunned. With a meaningful smile on his face, he said contemptuously. "Why?"

"Because you are just an orphan with no one to rely on, and my sister is the future Crown Princess." Tang Yu raised his head proudly.

This made Lin Zhan's eyes narrow slightly, full of cold light, and he snorted sarcastically. "I don't know when the candidate for the Crown Princess was decided."

"It's just a matter of time. Anyway, among all the people in the capital, only my sister is worthy of being the crown princess." Tang Yu said proudly.

Tang Xiu frowned and tugged at Tang Yu's sleeve, then looked at Lin Zhan with a smile on her face. "I'm sorry, my sister is outspoken and has a straightforward personality. I hope Miss Lin will forgive me."

"Miss Tang, you are wrong. Your sister is not outspoken, but she speaks without thinking. She can't even be described as straightforward. She should be described as domineering and arrogant." Lin Zan said to Tang Xiu bluntly.

Hearing her say this, Tang Xiu's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected Lin Zhan to confront the two of them head-on.

Tang Yu was also angered by Lin Zhan's words and walked up to him to hit him.

At this moment, a sword flashing with cold light was placed across Tang Yu's neck. It was Langya with a vicious look on his face.

"Anyone who dares to hurt the young lady will die." Lang Ya's words chilled Tang Yu's skull, and the cold air from the sword seemed to freeze Tang Yu's neck.

Moreover, when Tang Yu saw the look in Langya's eyes, he knew that he was not joking. He was immediately frightened and his face turned pale and his body began to tremble.

Seeing this, Tang Xiu hurried forward, his voice became a little stern, and he looked at Lin Zhan and said, "Miss Lin, you are going too far. It's just a verbal dispute, why do you have to use swords?"

"Put away your sword." Lin Zan waved his hand indifferently, asking Langya to put away his sword.

This made Tang Yu feel relieved, but he still stared at Lin Zan with anger.

At this time, Tang Xiu looked at the dishes in Linzhan's private room, which were almost gone, and said with a cold face, "Ms. Lin seems to have finished eating and is leaving. I guess she doesn't mind giving this private room to us."

After saying that, Tang Xiu ignored Lin Zan and wanted to help Tang Yu, whose body was a little weak, into the box.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zhan directly blocked the two of them, leaning against the door frame of the box, and said leisurely, "I have indeed finished eating just now and want to leave."

"But after arguing with you guys just now, I'm hungry again. Please bring me another table of food, and I want the most expensive one."

Lin Zhan gave the two sisters of the Tang family a provocative look, then walked back into the box and closed the door heavily.

"Lin Zan, just wait for me." Tang Yu originally wanted to kick open the door of the box, but when he saw Lang Ya standing beside him with a sword in his hand, he finally held back.

This was the first time that the two sisters of the Tang family suffered a setback, and everyone was laughing in secret.

So Tang Xiu had no choice but to take Tang Yu away. Only after confirming that the two had left did Lin Zan come out of the box.

Then he threw a golden melon seed into the shopkeeper's hand and said with a smile, "Pack up all the dishes I ordered just now. I want to take them back."

"Okay." The shopkeeper happily took the golden melon seed and left.

Lin Zhan sat there with a bit of melancholy, then turned to Langya and said, "Langya, who do you think will marry the prince and become the most noble princess in the end?"

This inexplicable question made Langya stunned on the spot. How could a Jianghu person like him know about the affairs of the imperial court? So he shook his head honestly.
