After knowing what the two of them had done, Lin Zhenan was so angry that he almost didn't recover.
Lin Shijin will inherit the Xuanping Hou Mansion in the future, but his performance today is really disappointing. He doesn't even have basic adaptability and sense of responsibility. He was indifferent when something happened to his own sister.
The character and ability of the heir can directly determine the future direction of a family. Obviously, Lin Shijin does not have this condition. If the Xuanping Hou Mansion really falls into his hands, it will be over.
After discussing it with their father for a long time, the two made this decision.
Although heirs are very important to a big family, if they are rude and immoral, it is better not to have them.
Since these two people often complain that there is not much help at home, that is as good as they wish.
If the direct descendant does nothing, he can choose a capable one from the collateral descendants. As long as his surname is Lin, it won't matter to him. What can others say?
Lin Shijin was shocked at first when he heard what his father said, and then felt a little baffled.
His mother had told him since he was a child that he would inherit the Xuanping Hou Mansion in the future and be the master of this family. This knowledge had been deeply rooted in his bones as he grew up, so when he heard his father say those words, he was completely Don't care.
Just because his sister's incident has spread a lot in the capital, he hasn't been out recently to avoid the limelight, but he hasn't gone to see Lin Xuanwei either.
Three days passed like this, until at midnight, he heard a noise outside the yard.
Lin Shijin walked out irritably and saw several children chirping and running around outside the yard, shouting excitedly such things as "so big and so beautiful".
The clothes on these children were not luxurious, and one child even wore ill-fitting clothes, showing a long wrist in embarrassment.
Lin Shijin was upset, thinking that a servant's child had come in and he didn't take good care of it.
"Which servant's child are you? Why are you making such a fuss here?"
Several children were frightened. Seeing his cold face and luxurious clothes, they knew that they had bumped into a nobleman. They were so frightened that they all stood there with pale faces.
The housekeeper who was following the children came over quickly. He first asked the children to go to the front hall, and then explained to Lin Shijin:
"Eldest Young Master, these children are all members of the clan. The Marquis asked them to come."
Lin Shijin frowned and his face suddenly darkened, "My father? Why did my father let these children come here?"
The housekeeper looked up at him in surprise when he heard this. His eyes seemed to say: 'You don't know? '
"The Marquis wants to choose two of these children to stay. All the elders of the family are here today. By the way, my uncle just sent the young lady back."
These words were like a bolt from the blue to Lin Shijin, who was so stunned that he couldn't find the north, south, east or west.
No matter which child you choose, he is still here fine! No disease or disability, father, what does this mean? !
Lin Shijin walked to the front yard with a gloomy face. He wanted to ask his father what he was going to do and whether doing this without his consent was putting him in the eyes.
The front hall was bustling. The elder of the Lin family was sitting on the heavy and solemn Taishi chair, talking to Mrs. Lin across a small table.
The old man's hair was gray and his eyes were full of excitement. He took Lin's hand and patted it, "Jingyue, we have heard about it in the countryside. You are a promising person. All the children you gave birth to have great abilities. Our Lin family There is really smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and a princess has appeared!"
Lin's gentle smile paused for a moment, because strictly speaking, Juan Juan was not considered to belong to the Lin family.
But the excited old man did not think of this aspect. He only felt that his ancestors were honored.
"We are old at this age, and we actually don't want to come here to get involved in these things, but we old guys discussed it together and decided that we should go to Beijing to see our little princess of the Lin family, and wait until we old guys die. There are some people chatting in the end, hahaha..."
Ms. Lin lowered her head and looked at Xiaotuanzi in her arms, with gentle eyes, "Juanjuan, this is my great-uncle, this is my great-uncle, this is..."
She introduced the old men in front of her to Juanjuan one by one.
But the little guy who used to be lively and smart today is blushing and silent for some reason, and his big eyes are blinking.
Mrs. Lin lowered her head in confusion and rubbed her furry head.
"What's wrong Juan Juan? Why are you blushing?"
Juanjuan made a sound, buried her head in her mother's arms and rubbed her breasts, and said in a somewhat embarrassed voice:
"Mom, Ni, Ni, say it again! Juan Juan didn't remember..."
QAQ
There were too many people, and she remembered this and forgot about that. Her little mind was busy for a long time in vain, and the final result was that she didn't remember any of them!
The adults were amused by her and laughed, and each of them touched Juan Juan's little face curiously.
What Lin Shijin saw when he first came in was this happy scene.
Several elders in the clan who were not smiling even when facing him were happily teasing a baby.
Right next to it, there were about a dozen children dressed in simple clothes and standing cautiously beside their grandfather. Their clear eyes carefully looked at the displays in the room, with yearning and wonder on their faces.
Lin Shijin could pretend he didn't see the previous scene, but he couldn't accept his position as the heir apparent being shaken.
Especially when he saw his father bending down to ask the name of an older child, the anger in his mind reached its peak.
"Father! What are you doing?!"
The expression on Lin Shijin's face was like the look on his face after he discovered that his wife had cheated on him, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
The child Lin Zhenan was holding was frightened and looked at him uneasily with his big eyes.
The hall became quiet, and several clan elders turned back to look at the angry Lin Shijin.
"Father, have you discussed this with me? Don't you know that finding a child now will affect my status?"
Then, he looked at the old Marquis standing next to him, and the anger in his tone subsided, "Grandpa, why don't you stop my father? I have two years and nine months to go before taking the exam. Why are you so little?" Instead of considering my future, at this tense moment, people threaten my status and distract me!"
His words silenced everyone. Looking at the whole room, only a certain little girl with bright eyes could be seen.
[So when he fails the exam in the future, he won’t say that it was because of what his uncle did two years and nine months ago that affected him and caused him to fail the exam! 】
Mrs. Lin pursed her lips in amusement.
Don't tell me, it's really possible.
After Lin Zhenan looked at him calmly for a while, he said in a deep voice: "I told you three days ago. Now that I have handed the letter of separation to your mother, you can also ask the questions I asked you that day. It’s time to give me an answer.”
