As soon as the carriage arrived at General Lin's residence, Butler Liu immediately greeted him.
"Second Miss, where have you been? General Lin is very anxious."
Lin Yi looked embarrassed. She expected that if she disappeared for so many days, there would be some movement in the house. Although he hated Lin Mansion, there was no need to anger Butler Liu.
"I've been away from home for a few days."
With that said, Lin Yi held Qin Shuihan's arm tightly and walked into the house.
Qin Shuihan patted her little hand and told her not to worry.
"Second Miss, I have been practicing for Mr. Shen so early in the morning, but I didn't see you coming. The eldest lady is very angry."
Butler Liu followed them and started talking nonchalantly.
Hearing the words "Master Shen", Lin Yi suddenly froze on the spot, unable to move his legs as if they were filled with lead.
This hatred is irreconcilable!
Seeing Lin Yi's sudden serious expression, Qin Shuihan realized that the housekeeper had mentioned Shen Dingjue just now. He quickly stepped forward to hold Lin Yi's arm, interrupting Housekeeper Liu's fuss.
"Steward, I would also like to inform General Lin that I would like to see you."
Hearing King Han's words, Butler Liu was slightly startled. King Han, who had always regarded the Lin Mansion as his own territory, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to see the master?
He didn't dare to stay and hurried to pass the message.
Returning to Lin Mansion again, looking at the scenery in front of her, Lin Yi felt that it was so strange. Without the figure of the maid who was looking forward to it, everything had changed.
That terrible scene came to her mind again.
Cuizhu was just a teenage girl. When faced with a beast like Shen Dingjue, in order to protect herself, she stepped forward and bit him without saying a word. It was undeniable that the bite was indeed very heavy, leaving bright red tooth marks on Shen Dingjue's arm.
Lin Yi regretted a little, why didn't he bite Shen Dingjue in the first place?
What's the use of throwing some tables and benches!
But when I think of the scene where I was knocked unconscious, the desperate heartache mixed with the endless panic comes over me again.
She leaned against Qin Shuihan and clutched the clothes on her chest tightly.
"Lin Yi, I'm here."
Qin Shuihan grabbed her clenched fists and comforted her to relax.
Li Shang's expression was also a little solemn. His martial arts was too weak to protect Miss Lin Er.
Biyue, who had no idea, was also infected by their emotions. The housekeeper just now didn't know martial arts. How many masters are there in the house?
Lin Yi recovered, raised her head awkwardly, and forced a smile.
She squinted her eyes again and looked around.
From now on, this is my battlefield.
Butler Liu hurried over and felt that the atmosphere between them seemed a bit strange. He did not dare to ask more questions and led them directly to the main hall. He saw Lin Weifu and everyone waiting at the door.
"I didn't know that when King Han came to my house, he was not welcomed from afar."
Lin Weifu bowed respectfully. When he saw Qin Shuihan walking in with Lin Yi on his arm, he immediately guessed that the relationship between the two was unusual. Yi'er had not been seen these days. Could it be that she was abducted by King Han?
After greetings, everyone took their seats.
Qin Shuihan glanced at Lin Weifu coldly, wondering if this father had no responsibility for Shen Dingjue's matter.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then slowly said: "I am just sending Miss Lin back home. I will also inform General Lin that I will marry Miss Lin and hire her at a later date."
Lin Weifu was shocked. He had never heard that King Han wanted to marry Yi'er.
Shen Ruzhi on the side looked displeased. Her daughter hadn't married King Huan yet, so why should Lin Yi get married first?
I had heard that King Han often sent Lin Yi back home, and I thought it might be just for fun. How could the most popular fifth prince of Qin marry this daughter of a concubine? My own daughter doesn’t even dare to climb high!
Lin Xuan'er looked aggrieved, why could she marry King Han!
"I dare to ask King Han, in what capacity do you want to marry your little girl..."
After all, the other party was a prince, and even if Lin Weifu didn't want to, he wouldn't dare to refute his face, but he wouldn't be willing to let his daughter become a concubine. What's more, he is in no hurry to marry her off. After all, Lin Yi looks so much like her mother, Xiao Su.
"General Lin, don't worry. The three letters and six etiquette procedures are all the same. I will officially marry Miss Lin Er as Princess Han."
Even if his father does not agree now, Qin Shuihan will use all means to marry Lin Yi as a royal concubine.
You really said it!
Lin Yi suddenly felt hot on his face. Will the words "Princess Han" be his label in the future?
But she didn't think it was so easy to get married in ancient times. She understood the truth behind parents' orders and matchmaking, not to mention that Qin Shuihan's father was not an ordinary person, but the emperor with the highest power.
But being able to say this in front of Lin Weifu made her feel very moved.
"Why! She is just a concubine!"
Lin Xuan'er stood up angrily. Because she stood up too hastily, the teacups on the table were tossed by her sleeve and fell to the ground.
There was a crackle, and a set of exquisite tea sets instantly shattered to the ground.
"Xuan'er!"
Shen Ruzhi shouted in a deep voice and motioned for her to sit down quickly, silently remembering that her spoiled daughter must never say anything rude again.
"mother!"
Lin Xuan'er ignored Shen Ruzhi and just stared at Lin Yi fiercely, wanting to go up and slap her.
"Prince Huan didn't even marry me, why should she get married! Mother, I am the legitimate daughter of the Lin family!"
Looking at Lin Xuan'er who was messing around, Lin Yi felt baffled. She lowered her head and thought for a moment. Now that she was on the battlefield, she couldn't back down. She didn't even take Lin Xuan'er seriously.
"What my sister said is wrong. Whether I marry or not has something to do with King Han. King Huan didn't marry my sister. That's King Huan's business, not Yi'er's."
Lin Yi spoke calmly and raised her head to look at Lin Xuan'er innocently.
"You, you shameless thing! You haven't returned home for so many days, and you went to someone else's house before you were married. You are so shameless!"
Lin Xuan'er completely ignored Shen Ruzhi's eyes and continued speaking without restraint.
Beating a dog depends on its owner. Qin Shuihan's face became darker and darker. If Lin Yi hadn't looked so indifferent, he would have really wanted to slap Lin Xuan'er to death.
"My sister hasn't returned home all night, so why didn't she see Prince Huan coming to propose marriage? I think my sister should stay a few more days. Maybe Prince Huan will come to propose marriage right away."
Lin Yi took a sip of tea and pushed it back, neither salty nor bland.
"you!"
Lin Xuan'er didn't expect Lin Yi's mouth to be so powerful. She actually said that she had no power to resist. She was so angry that she was about to rush towards Lin Yi.
Lin Weifu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and slapped him down.
Snapped--
This slap was so loud and powerful that Lin Xuan'er was knocked to the ground.
Lin Yi was also shocked. The slap sounded painful. She felt a little incredible that Lin Weifu used so much force.
Shen Ruzhi stood up and rushed over. She hugged Lin Xuan'er distressedly. She didn't expect Lin Weifu to be so harsh. The five-finger palm prints on his face were clearly visible.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, let mother see!"
Shen Ruzhi glared at Lin Weifu angrily.
Lin Xuan'er covered her face and looked at Lin Weifu blankly. She never thought that her father would hit her, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Dad...Dad! You hit me! You actually hit me! I'm not your daughter anymore!"
Immediately, the sound of crying and grabbing echoed in the house.
Lin Weifu stood there motionless, feeling as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over.
Because he was using his left hand, he couldn't control his strength. He was just angry for a moment, so he threw her away. After all, it was his daughter, and he didn't feel good about being hit by such a heavy hand.
Unfortunately, there was King Han nearby in the main hall, and he had to maintain his image as the head of the family.
"King Han, I'm really sorry for making you laugh today."
Qin Shuihan snorted, looking at this farce, he had no intention of staying here. But the slap just now was a good one. I really didn't expect Shen Ruzhi and Lin Xuan'er to have such an upbringing.
He couldn't help but worry, could Lin Yi be protected with only two guards?
Lin Yi saw Qin Shuihan was silent and frowned, so she immediately walked to his side.
Their eyes met, and Lin Yi seemed to understand his worries. She shook her head, squeezed his big hand, and gave him a reassuring smile.
Qin Shuihan smiled knowingly, then put away his smile and said to Lin Weifu: "General Lin, I will take my leave now. I also ask General Lin to take good care of my future princess."
"Yes, I would like to send you to His Highness Prince Han."
After Qin Shuihan left, Lin Weifu immediately called Lin Yi to the study.
"Yier, have you been in Prince Han's Mansion these days?"
"Um."
Lin Yi responded without saying much. She glanced at the room from the corner of her eyes, and it seemed familiar. The scene of Lin Weifu and Xiao Su quarreling appeared in her mind.
However, it was normal for couples to quarrel. Anyway, the original person's memory didn't tell her the reason for the quarrel, so she didn't think much about it. I just lament that there are not many books in this study, and there are more animal furs on display.
Lin Yi didn't know that these were ancient marching maps. Compared to paper, cowhide was easier to preserve and less likely to wear out.
Lin Weifu lowered his eyes and asked, "What happened in your boudoir? Why are there still patches of blood?"
That's the blood of Cuizhu's injury! Lin Yi couldn't help gritting his teeth.
"Can daddy make the decision for Yi'er?"
After saying that, she stared at Lin Weifu calmly. Without waiting for his answer, Lin Yi continued: "He is your adopted son, Shen Dingjue! He wanted to cheat on Yi'er. During the quarrel, the maid protected me from my injuries. . ”
"What?"
Lin Weifu was shocked, how could this be possible? Shen Dingjue was now the eldest son of the Lin family and was holding a military talisman of his own. How could he be so presumptuous! However, the Holy Emperor had just issued an edict for him to go out to quell the chaos. If he could return with meritorious service, he planned to seize the remaining two military symbols justifiably.
Lin Weifu frowned, with his daughter on one side and the military talisman on the other, what should he do?
But Shen Dingjue is the only person he can rely on at the moment.
"Yier, don't talk nonsense...he is your adopted brother..."
Lin Yi's heart suddenly felt as cold as freezing point.
She clearly saw the blood stains and still questioned her own words. Even though she knew it was Shen Dingjue, she didn't want to stand up for her. It was really a plastic father-daughter relationship, and all the hard work on his treatment was in vain.
Maybe this father only likes him because he looks like his original mother.
Lin Yi touched her chest. The distressed feeling did not belong to her, but was the instinctive reaction of her body.
Anyway, she is not the original person, so she is completely free from worries.
"Father, maybe my eldest brother was joking with me. Anyway, I wasn't injured at all. Don't worry about it, dad. Yi'er is a little tired, so she's going back to her room to rest."
Without waiting for Lin Weifu to react, Lin Yi walked out directly.
From now on, she will no longer care about her original feelings, and she will return to the real Lin Yi.
Looking at her retreating back, Lin Weifu couldn't help but be stunned. He actually called himself "father" instead of "dad". Why did he suddenly feel that he was drifting away from his daughter?
