Lin Zhongyu didn't expect that the Lin family was far less rigid than he imagined. It was harder than he thought to recognize himself.
It's easy to recognize relatives, but if you want to be naturalized, you need to go back to the Lin family's place of origin to do a series of things. Fortunately, the officials there are all old friends of the Lin family.
After all, things were much easier to handle. Lin Mengya finally felt relieved and greeted the three men at home, which was quite enjoyable.
In fact, the situation in the Lin family was far from as peaceful as what she saw in front of her.
However, her father and brother seemed to be getting better and refused to say anything to her. She knew that it was their father and brother who wanted to make her feel at ease.
But as a member of the Lin family, how could she escape from these things?
"Come on, try it. This was your favorite dish when you were a child. Your mother left early and your father is away from home all the time. It's really hard on you."
Lin Muzhi still felt guilty for this daughter.
The death of his wife and the persecution from the Shangguan family made this resolute man feel depressed.
Therefore, all I knew was to channel all my grievances into leading the troops in battle. Although the enemy was frightened by the news, they ignored Lin Mengya, and that was why they were separated from each other.
Prince Yu is a good young man, but there is no such thing as true love in the royal family. The queen is also eyeing the Lin family, and Lin Mengya's life may not be easy.
"Thank you, dad. When I was in the palace, I often missed the food at home. Daddy please, brother please."
Lin Mengya understood her father's feelings, but in her heart, she was thinking about Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu.
During the years when my father was leading troops and fighting abroad, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, under the governance of Shangguan Qing, although not monolithic, had cultivated many confidants.
Otherwise, I would not have hidden the torture and abuse from my father for so long.
Just now, she and her brother asked some questions, and they said that the mother and daughter were actually very quiet, and they didn't say anything noisy at all, and even looked like they were repenting every day.
Abnormality is a demon, so she felt that Shangguan Qing must be holding back some big move.
At this time, if she does something crazy, the Lin family will be in big trouble.
"Dad, my daughter knows that you must be angry with Er Niang. But after all, we are a family. Now that you are angry, you naturally want to deal with Er Niang. But Dad, the Shangguan family is ready to make a move now. There is already a big problem.
The momentum of the No. 1 family in Jin Dynasty. If this matter spreads, I am afraid it will be detrimental to you."
Lin Mengya is not afraid, she just understands things very well The severity has eased.
The most important reason why the Lin family has been able to survive for so many years is because the Lin family has always maintained a neutral attitude.
But she married Long Tianyu at this time, which made the balance of the Lin family feel tilted.
In addition, Shangguan Qing has never been favored by her father, and she has not given birth to a son for the Lin family. Naturally, the Shangguan family will never let go of any opportunity to suppress and control the Lin family.
Contrary to Lin Nansheng's indignation, Lin Muzhi took a deep look at his daughter, with a bit of relief on his face.
"Being a father has not come first, since you are so generous. However, appropriate punishment is still needed. How about this, grounding them for a month, what do you think?"
After thinking about it, Lin Mengya nodded.
She is not a Virgin Mary Sue or anything, everything she does is just for her family.
As for Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu, after the Shangguan family's troubles are solved, who will care about their life or death.
On this side, inside the Xinuan Pavilion, there was a warm atmosphere, and the family members all had friendly smiles on their faces. On the other side, Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu were feeling desolate.
"Mother, I wonder if your message has been delivered to my grandfather?"
Every day, Lin Mengwu waited eagerly for a reply from her grandfather's family. She had had enough of this miserable place.
What Daddy did was really go too far. Her beautiful clothes and jewelry were all taken away. If grandma comes, she will definitely file a complaint.
"Don't worry, your nanny said that the government has been heavily guarded recently, and it's really difficult to get the news out. However, I will send a letter home to your grandmother every month. If your grandmother hasn't been there for a long time,
If I see it, I'm afraid I will know the situation of our mother and daughter."
All the rosiness on Shangguan Qing's face seemed to be exhausted in one night.
Her face was full of hollow paleness, and her hair was still neatly combed into a bun, but she looked a little overwhelmed.
She is no longer the majestic and noble Mrs. Lin. From the day the Marquis came back, she had determined the fate of their mother and daughter today.
"It takes so long, mother, can't you think of a way?"
Lin Mengwu pouted and said coquettishly like her mother.
In a few days, it will be the Winter Solstice Festival
Well, according to custom, there will be an extremely grand prayer banquet in the palace.
She is still a girl who has not yet left the court. If she does not seize the time to show her face, how can she find a suitable husband?
"Mother knows your thoughts. During the Winter Solstice Festival, mother will definitely let you enter the palace."
Looking at his daughter, a hint of determination flashed through Shangguan Qing's eyes.
Even though the dead person has been dead for so long, he can still occupy the master's heart. What if she also dies? Then will he miss her as much as he misses that woman?
The door to the courtyard suddenly opened with a creak. The mother and daughter immediately looked at the door with caution, only to find a tall and slender figure.
Her face was elegant and exquisite, with a hibiscus-like expression on her face that looked like a smile but not a smile.
The gently swaying red agate tassel on her forehead made her complexion look like jade, elegant and extraordinary.
The white fox fur cloak swayed, looking noble and elegant. But the mother and daughter hated this beautiful woman.
"What else are you doing here? Do you still think our mother and daughter are not miserable enough?"
Also the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Mengwu hated Lin Mengya at this moment. Her eyes were full of deep resentment.
"You brought it upon yourself, what does it have to do with others. Lin Mengwu, if you, mother and daughter, hadn't poisoned me first, why would you have ended up like this?"
Lin Mengwu's expression changed, not because she knew she was wrong, but because she was afraid that her father would hear it. By then, mother and daughter might not be as simple as being grounded.
"Lin Mengya, what are you doing here?"
Shangguan Qing's expression was uncertain.
Until now, she still doesn't know why she was defeated at the hands of this dead girl. Obviously, she can play with this dead girl in the applause. Crushing this dead girl to death is easier than crushing an ant.
But he didn't expect that she would be defeated again and again, which made this damn girl so proud.
"I came here to warn you. Don't try to do anything to harm the Lin family. Otherwise, even my father can't protect you. Don't forget, from the moment the emperor issued the decree,
I am Princess Yu, and if you try to harm Princess Yu, no one in the palace will take care of you."
Only then did Shangguan Qing know why she didn't reveal everything in front of Lin Muzhi.
She felt chills in her heart. Only now did she understand why the Queen had repeatedly warned her not to do anything if she was not sure of victory. Provoke Lin Mengya again.
It turned out that she had already transformed into a poisonous snake.
"I know you are trying to find a way to ask for help, but the reinforcements I told you are already in my hands. From the day you walked in, you are no longer a member of the Shangguan family, but a member of my Lin family. If
What are the shortcomings of the Lin family? Do you think you can escape unscathed? Think about your dead fiancé, he was a good person, why did he die? "
Looking at those seemingly clear eyes, it seemed that everything about me was seen through these eyes.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Please stay here with your daughter. Otherwise, I will let you know that life is worse than death."
Turning around, Lin Mengya left gracefully.
Shangguan Qing's face turned completely gloomy, and Lin Mengwu gritted her teeth with hatred, wanting to rush forward and bite Lin Mengya to death.
"Mother, could it be that the wet nurse fell into her hands?"
Both of them were shocked. The letter Shangguan Qing wrote to Shangguan's family was still in her hand. If Lin Muzhi discovered it, it would be a big deal.
"No, I have to get that letter back quickly!"
After bribing the gatekeeper with a pair of white jade bracelets, Lin Mengwu's nanny finally appeared in front of them.
"You - didn't you fall into Lin Mengya's hands?"
Incredibly, looking at the intact nanny in front of her, Shangguan Qing immediately realized angrily that she had fallen into a trap.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
The nanny was ignorant. She was just preparing food for the madam and the young lady, but she didn't expect to be called over by the madam in such a hurry.
"Are you okay? Nurse, are Lin Mengya feeling sorry for you?"
Lin Mengwu asked before she realized what had happened.
She shook her head. She had been in the kitchen since the afternoon. Where had she seen any young lady?
"Oops, we've fallen into a trap! Go back quickly. No matter what, you must find the letter and destroy it. You must not let Lin Mengya find it. Go quickly!"
Shangguan Qing panicked for the first time, so now, she could only pray that the wet nurse's hands and feet would be faster so that she could find the letter before Lin Mengya could.
"Okay, I will go back now. Madam, miss, please take care of yourself."
The nanny immediately hurried back to her small yard, and without anyone discovering it, she found this letter from the lady from the brick crack in the corner.
