"Next time, if Brother Yi wants to ride in a carriage, why not ride in Ru'er's? Ru'er's carriage is bigger and more comfortable."
The intimate way Lin Yueru talked with Su Yi seemed to be declaring to everyone that even if Mu Jin and Su Yi stood side by side, so what? Mu Jin was ultimately an outsider, and only she and Su Yi were a match made in heaven.
Su Yi's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled: "I remember this is not your first time visiting the Shu Mountain Hunting Grounds. In previous years, when the weather was clear, the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to travel, so even the Emperor's carriage was much smaller than before."
"But your Lin family's carriage today is almost the same size as the Emperor's palanquin, how impressive!"
"But it's really tough on those guards. The continuous rain has made the roads treacherous and difficult to travel, and because your Lin family's carriage is too big, the journey is extremely difficult, causing the rest of the procession to be delayed for a long time because of you."
Lin Yueru turned deathly pale from Su Yi's sarcastic remarks.
In previous years, Lin Yueru would ride in this princess carriage with Nan Wenhui, but this year Nan Wenhui caught a cold and did not come. Lin Yueru, who always loved to show off, would never ride in a small carriage that matched her status.

Lin Yueru forgot that although Nan Wenhui was her grandmother, Nan Wenhui was not present, and at this moment she represented the Lin family.
Su Yi continued, "I have been away from the Southern Shu Kingdom for a year and was unaware that the court had changed its system, allowing officials' carriages to be of a higher standard than those of the royal family."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he looked around at everyone present and asked, "Who can tell me when the Southern Shu Kingdom changed its system and why no one informed me?"
Su Yi's words were like a resounding slap in the face to Lin Yueru and the Lin family. This undoubtedly showed that the Lin family had violated the rules of etiquette. An official's carriage dared to be more luxurious than that of the royal family. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had wolfish ambitions.
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If the emperor were to punish them, it wouldn't be unjust to exterminate their entire clan.
