Chapter 72 Rejection, I was confused for a moment
Lin Xiangfu, study.
Lin Ruhui has had a gloomy face ever since he came back from court.
Not to mention ordinary servants, even Steward Lin didn't dare to step forward for fear of bringing bad luck.
"Where are the people? Why haven't they come yet?"
"Your Majesty, I have already asked someone to invite her. I'll be right there." Butler Lin entered the study room, not daring to breathe, praying in his heart that Lin Qingxue would come soon.
After I walked out the door, I looked up and saw the pink figure coming towards me, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally here!
He hurried over and said anxiously, "Second Miss, you are here. The master is looking for you!"
"What does father want to talk to me about?" Lin Qingxue asked.
"You...you'll know when you go in." Steward Lin kindly reminded, "I don't know what happened, but the Prime Minister lost his temper right after the court session. He's still very angry now. You'd better talk to him nicely when you go in."
Lin Qingxue thought that Lin Ruhui was angry because someone had pointed out something wrong with him, so she pushed the door open without thinking much.
She looked at the slightly gloomy face and immediately ordered the maid to present the snacks, "This is the peach blossom pastry that mother just made. Father, would you like to try it?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and poured a cup of tea. "Father, don't be angry. Those people are just jealous of your ability and the emperor's favor for you. They are just a bunch of ants. Why do you have to bother with them?"
Lin Ruhui's anger, which had been suppressed, burst out again when he heard Lin Qingxue's words.
He studied hard for more than ten years before he passed the imperial examination and experienced the ups and downs of officialdom and worked hard for most of his life before he got his current position.
He has no disciples and no family. Even though he is the Right Prime Minister, he can only be barely called a new noble.
As a result, his daughter started talking like an ant.
She is so arrogant!
But Lin Qingxue couldn't understand his expression, and said, "When my daughter marries into Prince Jing's mansion, they should curry favor with their father!"
When Lin Ruhui heard this, the anger in his heart instantly rushed to his head.
He had warned her last time, but she was still obsessed with marrying King Jing!
"Shut up!" he shouted.
Lin Ruhui was born with a good appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and fair skin. When he was young, he was known as a gentleman like jade. Now that he is older and has a beard, he looks even more elegant. Even after many years in the officialdom, his bookish air has not faded, and he has not been tainted by the turbid air of the officialdom. His every move shows the demeanor of a gentleman. This is also the reason why Xiao Chen was willing to marry him even if she had to remarry.
Because of this appearance, even if he is angry, he won’t be too scary.
Although Lin Qingxue was in awe of him, she was not afraid. So even though she was startled, she still boldly asked, "Father, did...did your daughter say something wrong?"
She is telling the truth.
King Jing's cousin is a popular prince in the court, and his aunt is so favored, so the position of crown prince is a foregone conclusion.
When she becomes the Crown Princess, who would dare to offend her father?
Lin Ruhui directly threw an iron ring over, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Lin Qingxue's expression changed immediately, but she still managed to calm down and shook her head, "What is this? My daughter has never seen it before."
"Really?" Lin Ruhui narrowed his eyes fiercely.
The pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes now showed a bit of gloom and disappointment.
"Yes, my daughter doesn't recognize him." Lin Qingxue felt very nervous and didn't dare to look into Lin Ruhui's eyes.
"Someone, go and bring Iron Leopard over here."
Hearing this name, Lin Qingxue panicked instantly and could no longer remain calm, "Father, I recognize... I recognize this iron ring."
I didn't expect my father to catch Tiebaozi. Wouldn't that mean she hired someone to kill someone...
She met Lin Ruhui's cold eyes and suddenly felt hopeless.
If her father finds out, she's done!
“Get down on your knees!” Lin Ruhui was completely enraged. He slammed the table hard, knocking the iron ring off the table.
In fact, what Prince Ning’s Mansion sent this morning was not an iron ring.
But the ears of the iron leopard.
He was afraid of scaring Lin Qingxue, so he didn't dare show her the bloody thing.
"Father, I... I was confused for a moment..."
"You were so foolish that you hired someone to kill your own sister?" Lin Ruhui was furious. He never expected that Lin Qingxue would be so bold and cruel.
Although Lin Miaoyin is a little stupid, she has loved her younger sister Lin Qingxue since childhood. Every time Lin Qingxue made a mistake, she would take the blame for her.
Is this how she treats her eldest sister?
Lin Qingxue was so scared that she knelt on the ground and trembled, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
Lin Miaoyin was so ungrateful for treating her and her mother like this. She just wanted to kill this ungrateful person!
Lin Ruhui looked at Lin Qingxue with extreme disappointment and waved his hands angrily, "In two days I will ask Nanny Si from the palace to come and teach you the rules. Now get out of here and go back to Baoyin Courtyard. Don't come out before you reach the age of 15!"
Hearing Nanny Si's name, Lin Qingxue turned pale with fear, "No, I don't want Nanny Si to teach me the rules, I don't want..."
Nanny Si was notoriously strict and was feared by the entire Shengjing City.
If she fell into her hands, she would be severely beaten even if she didn't die.
"You can't refuse this!" Lin Ruhui's face was cold and stern. "Also, don't mention marrying King Jing again. I've already found someone for you. I'll tell your mother in the next two days that you should stay calm and not communicate with King Jing anymore."
"No, I don't!" Lin Qingxue shook her head desperately.
Looking at Lin Ruhui's dignified face, she felt extremely aggrieved. "Why is father so partial? Lin Miaoyin wanted to marry Prince Ning, so father did everything he could to fulfill her wish. I wanted to marry Prince Jing, but you tried to stop me. Am I your daughter?"
"And this iron ring, you only saw me hiring someone to kill someone, why don't you think that it was Lin Miaoyin who went too far." Lin Qingxue became more and more angry as she spoke, her face twisted, "My daughter has never heard of a marriage that allows her to go back to her parents' home to ask for a dowry three years after getting married. This is such a ridiculous thing, isn't your father afraid of being laughed at?"
"You..." Lin Ruhui was furious and suddenly raised his hand.
But it didn't fall.
"Lin Miaoyin didn't care about my kindness in raising me. She blackmailed my mother and even took away my daughter's dowry. My father didn't reprimand her, but instead blamed me. What's the logic behind this?"
"Also, my aunt said that as soon as I reach the age of 15, she will ask the emperor to grant me a marriage with my cousin, Prince Jing. It will be useless even if my father objects..."
"Pa!" Lin Ruhui couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him.
Although her father didn't dote on her very much, he had never hit her over the years. But now, he beat her so hard that half of her face was swollen because of Lin Miaoyin. The grievance in her heart suddenly burst out with tears.
"I would rather die than not marry King Jing!" She said this and ran out of the study without looking back.
When she went out, she bumped into Xiao Chen who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Little Chen looked at this scene and immediately asked out of concern, "Qingxue, what happened?"
Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth, covered her face with her hands and ran away without saying a word.
Little Chen hurried to the study, "Master, what exactly... happened?"
"Go back and ask your good daughter!" Lin Ruhui tried his best to restrain himself, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
