Lingchan opened the car curtain.
From the dull and heavy curtains, a few slender and shiny fingers suddenly stretched out and opened the curtains. The stunningly beautiful girl in the carriage poked her head out. She had obviously been treated extremely rudely, but she didn't look angry. Instead, she had a slight smile on her face. Smiling, he asked curiously: "Who are you?"
Tantai Zhi rarely felt nervous.
He coughed lightly and said as gently as possible: "I am the brother of that boy in Tantai. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Tantai Zhi's keen eyes saw that the corners of Lingchan's mouth were straightened...but she was still very polite. Not only did she not throw the car curtain directly in his face, she also nodded to him and said flatly: "Thank you. "
In Tantai Zhi's long life, no girl had ever faced him with such a cold attitude, but the strange thing was that he didn't even feel angry.
He looked at the shallow red mark on the girl's face and hesitated, "Aren't you going to treat the injury on your face?"
"It's been taken care of."
He obviously just wiped away the spilled blood and didn't even apply any medicine.
"Such a beautiful face cannot be treated so casually." Tantai Zhi took out a bottle of wound medicine and handed it to Ling Chan, "This is the palace's secret medicine. It will not leave scars easily when applied to the face."
Lingchan took it slowly, hesitated for a moment, and gave Tantai Zhi a sweet smile, "Thank you."
It was just an insignificant bottle of medicine, but Lingchan lowered her guard against him and revealed her soft inner self.
Tantai Zhi said gently: "Shall I give you a ride? You came out of the capital and were rejected by King An. Some unsighted people may offend you. If I give you a ride home, no one will dare to speak rudely to you."
Lingchan blinked her big eyes, "Are you supporting me?"
"Hmm...I guess so."
"Why?"
"You are a good girl," Tantai Zhi said, "you should not be treated unfairly."
…
Tantai Zhi sent Ling Chan to Mrs. Fu's natal family all the way.
Mrs. Fu's actual surname is Lin, and she and Concubine Shu are cousins. The Lin family was from a poor family, but it was only because Concubine Shu became the favored concubine of the current Holy Emperor that they became successful.
Concubine Shu's father doesn't like to study, and he can't support the wall with mud. He is still doing business. Only Mrs. Fu's father is a seventh-rank sesame official. Concubine Shu used all the political resources given by the emperor to this uncle.
Mrs. Fu relied on this relationship to marry Marquis Xuanwei and become Mrs. Hou.
Therefore, the ancestral home of Guanqin is actually the ancestral home of King An in Tantai.
The Lin family has become a mess.
Just now, King An clearly expressed his dislike for Lingchan, and his attitude was so intense that he used force in front of the palace gate.
He hates Lingchan.
One is a noble man from Tianhuang, and the other is a weak girl in the boudoir.
One is a biological grandson, and the other is a fake grandson.
"How about letting Miss Cousin live outside?" Someone said, "We can't anger His Highness Prince An!"
Mrs. Lin sighed, "What's the use of living outside? She is our child now. If we drive her away, we will lose our family!"
"What should we do?"
"Pick her in through the side door, and I'll set up a small courtyard for her to live in."
Mrs. Lin became angry just thinking about it.
Her daughter looked shrewd at home. She married into the Marquis's family for so many years and kept Marquis Xuanwei's family docile. Why did she start to lose her mind when she reached middle age?
Adopted daughter? How did you come up with this bad idea!
A servant came to report: "My cousin's motorcade has arrived at the door."
Mrs. Lin nodded lightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "I directly led my cousin to the courtyard, saying that I was tired and told her not to come to say hello."
"Well..." The servant was covered in sweat. He quickly approached Mrs. Lin, "His Royal Highness is here too! Waiting for you to pick her up outside the door."
The old lady's hand shook, and the porcelain cup in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
She stood up in a hurry and told the big family in front of her, "Hurry, hurry, come with me to greet my niece!"
"Huh?" His eldest daughter-in-law was still muttering, "Mom, you just said that she can go alone. She is just an adopted daughter. She is not worthy of being welcomed by our whole family..."
Mrs. Lin ignored her.
This eldest daughter-in-law is fond of whispering, and she is also bad-mouthed and not kind-hearted. However, she is timid and timid and dare not not follow her. There is no need to waste time explaining to her. His Royal Highness is still waiting!
He can actually control the prince!
This adopted daughter is extraordinary! Her daughter has a good taste!
Squeak...
The door to Lin's mansion opened.
A group of rich ladies dressed in gold and silver filed out of the door. The old lady at the head was deeply blessed and said respectfully: "Welcome to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Tantai Zhi glanced at her with his peripheral vision and continued talking to Lingchan, "Look, I said they will take you very seriously. This is your relative."
Lingchan smiled sweetly at him, "I know it's because Your Highness is here, thank you. Please let them get up. As long as you accompany me on this trip, they won't bully me anymore."
Tantai Zhi's little thoughts were seen through, and he chuckled, "In the capital, it's not good to be too kind."
He suppressed his smile again, looked coldly at a group of women who were starting to tremble slightly, and said calmly: "Get up."
A group of people breathed a sigh of relief as if they were surviving a disaster.
Guanqin helped Lingchan get out of the car and walked towards Lin's house step by step.
Mrs. Lin led a large group of people who did not dare to chat with the prince. They surrounded Guanqin, all talking about his welfare.
The colorful clothes and layers of jewelry concealed the girl's delicate figure.
Tantai Zhi watched her being overwhelmed by the crowd with his habitual polite smile.
But before being escorted into the door, the girl turned her head hard and gave him a bright, grateful smile.
The sky was getting darker, but the sun seemed to be attached to her, reluctantly outlining her figure with its dim light. In the dim world, she was the only one shining brightly.
The grand gate of Lin Mansion, the noisy servants coming and going, and the ladies surrounding Lingchan all dimmed into the background.
Tantai Zhi could only see Ling Chan.
【Damn guy! 】The system is scolding him again, 【It is his blessing that Chanchan smiles at him! Why is he motionless? Is he a puppet? As for the prince, he has no manners at all! 】
[Chanchan,] the system said: [You haven’t read the original work, you don’t know, this Tantai Zhi is not a good thing! He is cruel and ruthless, you must not believe him. 】
Lingchan smiled: [I know that in this small world, the only person I can trust is our Tong'er, and you are the only one who is the best to me. 】
【Um! 】The system is almost so proud: 【We are the best partners! 】
…
Lingchan was welcomed by Mrs. Lin to the courtyard where Mrs. Fu lived as a girl.
The old lady said with emotion: "No one has lived in that yard since your mother got married. It's just right for you to live here now."
Lingchan glanced around and saw that some of the furnishings were old, but they still looked not outdated today. They were clean and luxurious, and they were obviously carefully maintained every day.
Ling Chan smiled: "I'm going to live in mother's boudoir? Wouldn't it be bad?"
Mrs. Lin paused, then took Lingchan's hand, and said with a loving smile: "Although you are not your mother's biological child, she treats you no differently than her biological child. Grandma sees you as her biological granddaughter! My daughter lives with her mother. What’s wrong with the room?”
At first glance, it is a newly replaced place.
Ling Chan knew it in her heart, and Mrs. Lin also saw that the little girl was not easy to fool. Thinking of the prince, she immediately raised all kinds of enthusiasm, and threw down a cannonball of gold, silver, jewels and sugar-coated cannons, gently soothing the little girl's hurt heart.
