But even in such a predicament, he still dealt with it calmly.
Quite a bit of character.
But in the past, he didn't even remember what his eldest daughter-in-law looked like, and he didn't even speak much to her.
Recalling the time when the eldest son insisted on marrying the daughter of a merchant family, he was so angry that he lost his temper.
They even locked him up for a few days.
If it were not for the comfort of the lady beside him, I am afraid that Mr. Dong would not be able to enter the Lin family in the end.
Now, the eldest daughter-in-law, whom he initially looked down upon and then neglected for many years, was working with them.
He was afraid, but if he really wanted to make Dafang and the Dong family disappear, it would not be impossible.
However, her backbone is stronger than that of her incompetent boss.
Madam Dong didn't know what Prime Minister Lin was thinking, she just straightened her back.
She said these words without showing any guilt.
Otherwise, how could the two old foxes in front of them agree to separate their families.
Thinking of this, determination was even more evident on his face.
A moment later, just when Princess Rongkang was about to speak, Prime Minister Lin said slowly.
"Does the boss think so too?"
Mrs. Dong was silent, she was forced into a dead end today, so she felt that the only way out was to separate the family.
But she did not discuss this matter with Uncle Lin, so she frowned slightly.
Just as I was thinking about how to answer, I saw someone pushing open the door and entering.
The person who came was none other than Uncle Lin.
His face was also solemn as never before, and when he saw the injury on his wife's face, he felt even more heartbroken.
He completely ignored Prime Minister Lin and Princess Rongkang sitting in front of him.
Ask directly.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
"fine."
Although the eldest lady Dong was so strong and scary just now, now that her husband is here, her tone suddenly softens.
No matter how much she tried to hold it back, her tears would burst like a dam.
I can't control it no matter what.
Uncle Lin patted her hand and whispered.
"Don't worry, this matter must come to an end today."
Then he bowed respectfully to Prime Minister Lin.
"Father, what Qin Zhen said is what I think."
When Prime Minister Lin heard this, a small corner of his heart collapsed.
Although he didn't like his son very much, he felt that he had no ambition and had a cowardly temper.
But he proposed to separate the family while he was still alive, which shows how resentful his son is towards this family and his father.
This is somewhat unacceptable to Prime Minister Lin.
So he didn't say anything and just looked at him with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
Uncle Lin also faced his father squarely for the first time, without flinching at all.
If Butler Lin hadn't sent someone to look for him and come back, he wouldn't have known that so many things had happened at home.
As soon as I arrived at Dongkua Courtyard, I saw a mess on the ground, and then I hurried to Ronghetang.
I am just afraid that my wife will be bullied again.
He is weak and incompetent, but after so many things, if there is still no growth at all, then there is no hope.
Therefore, it is the best choice to separate and live alone.
This is probably the only way the father-son relationship between him and Prime Minister Lin can be preserved.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Princess Rongkang looked at Dafang and his wife coldly.
what is it today?
Both of them became hardened. Could it be that Cheng Cheng knew that Lin Wanyi was having a smooth life in the palace, so he cheered up?
If this is the case, then when she enters the palace in two days, she will probably have to be beaten and shocked.
You can't let a teenage girl handle it.
A long, long time passed.
Prime Minister Lin then relaxed and said.
"In that case, it's up to you. I just put a word here and move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is no possibility of coming back. Do you understand?"
"The son is deeply grateful to his father."
"My daughter-in-law is deeply grateful to her father."
The words of Mr. and Mrs. Dafang completely made Mr. Lin understand.
How determined are they to move away?
Thinking of this, the emotions that were still a little sad were quickly cleared up.
He didn't have much hope for this son.
So, even if you leave, just leave.
So he waved his hand and Prime Minister Lin let them go.
Princess Rongkang was happy in her heart, but she still pretended to be embarrassed on her face.
"Prime Minister, if the boss and the others leave, there will be criticism from outsiders..."
"You and the second son's family defrauded the Dong family of so much money, are you afraid of criticism again now?"
Princess Rongkang smiled sarcastically.
She wanted to refute that she was not involved, but who would believe it.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Lin didn't want to hold anyone accountable and just put all the account books back in the wooden box.
He said seriously to Princess Rongkang.
"Let me tell the outside world that the bloody disaster in my life this year can only be resolved if someone leaves the house to pray for me. The boss and his family can ask themselves to separate the family to prevent the disaster for me."
Having said this, it actually set a good standard for the big house.
Otherwise, if the family were separated while their father was still alive, even if they had thousands of reasons, they would not be able to escape the pressure of filial piety.
"Yes, but it depends on the Prime Minister's orders."
Anyway, I'm out of town and will have nothing to do with them in the future.
Just make excuses, Princess Rongkang doesn't care.
Later, Prime Minister Lin gave another instruction.
"How much money is left on the public account?"
Princess Rongkang did not expect Prime Minister Lin to suddenly ask this question.
He calmed down and said.
"There are less than 100,000 taels left. Now is not the time for autumn harvest, so there is not much spare money on the books. Everything needs to be used."
Prime Minister Lin glanced at Princess Rongkang, his eyes seemed to be saying.
you sure?
But Princess Rongkang did not tell lies.
For such a large prime minister's house, there are naturally many places where money needs to be paid.
The rest of these are all managed carefully by Butler Lin.
"I collected three hundred thousand taels in one day, converted it into silver notes, and sent it to Dongkua Yuan. I think the power was given by the branch family."
"Master Xiang! I..."
"Don't tell me that you have no money. Didn't you spend enough from Mr. Dong? Do you want me to tell you the truth one by one?"
Then his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at the face of Princess Rongkang, quite majestic.
Even the title "True Face" was mentioned.
He is not the petty official he was decades ago.
Having held power in both the government and the public for so many years, even the emperor and queen mother could speak harshly, let alone a mere princess.
Princess Rongkang was so angry that she couldn't confront her head-on at this moment.
I can only agree and say yes.
But I would like to discuss it further regarding time.
"Prime Minister, one day is indeed a bit tight. Even though I don't have that much cash on hand, can I extend it to two days?"
"You don't have it? Then go and ask for it from the second roommate. If they don't have it either, just send this account book over. I want to see what else they can do, crying and complaining here!"
