"What?" Lin Shijin really didn't think of it for a moment.
After he stood stunned for a while, an incredible look appeared in his eyes.
"Father! You actually..." Are you kidding me?
Lin Shijin took a step back in shock, with an expression on his face as if he had been betrayed.
He turned to look at his grandfather who lowered his head and sighed and his grandmother who avoided looking, "Do you also agree with father doing this?"
No one answered him, but they already told him the answer.
Lin Zhenan suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart and asked coldly, "Have you discussed it with your sister, who will stay?"
Lin Shijin lowered his head and his eyes flashed.
He didn't even visit Lin Xuanwei in the past few days, let alone discuss it with her.
Although he felt that his father's business career would not be of much help to him, with this status he could make friends with useful people, so he absolutely could not leave.
Thinking of this, Lin Shijin took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering and said, "Father, I'll stay."
Lin Zhenan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Your sister agrees?"
Lin Shijin nodded immediately, "My sister knew that she had done something wrong. In order not to damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion, she voluntarily left to follow her mother."
[Can Lin Xuanwei have this realization? Why don't I believe it? 】
If she had thought this way earlier, she would not have done so many things that harmed the reputation of the Hou Mansion.
But it doesn’t matter if Lin Xuanwei is gone, she is so annoying! Just thinking about her Juan Juan makes her teeth itch with anger.
Lin Xuanwei, who was still in a coma, didn't know that her fate was decided by her brother.
After determining who would stay, Lin Shijin's heart dropped. He looked at the children again and asked, "Since I stayed, father should send these children away."
Lin Zhenan glanced at him and said, "No matter which of the two of you stays, I will choose two of these children to raise under my knees. I have already discussed this matter with the elders of the Lin family."
"Father!" Lin Shijin called him in a loud voice, his face full of anger, "Why do you have to do this to me!"
Lin Zhenan did not speak to him again.
He has made up his mind, and the position of Crown Prince is only occupied by a capable person.
"Go back, don't yell in front of the elders, and take advantage of today to see your sister more."
Lin Zhenan walked towards the children and stopped looking at him.
The person behind him clenched his fists in anger, his eyes were filled with resentment, and finally he shook his sleeves and left angrily.
He is his father's only biological son. What his father is doing now must be to motivate him. It is impossible for other children to override him!
Lin Shijin comforted himself and left. As for what his father just said about letting him go see his sister, he didn't take it to heart at all.
If Lin Xuanwei hadn't caused such an incident at the spring banquet, her father would not have reconciled with her mother, and he would not have been forced to choose one or the other. Therefore, the current consequences were entirely caused by her alone, and she deserved to suffer it.
At this time, in the main hall, Juanjuan was eating leisurely with her legs dangling, her cheeks bulging, and several children were watching her secretly.
Not all Lin family members live a good life, and only those in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion live well. Although one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, but the most important thing is to look at oneself.
Several children were brought over from their hometowns. The most powerful officials they usually see are squires and county magistrates. Common people always have a kind of natural respect and fear for princes and nobles. Just hearing the title of princess makes people laugh. It makes them feel in awe, not to mention that one day they can be in the same room with the princess.
An elder in the clan was introducing the children to Lin Zhenan. Every time he read a name, a child would raise his head and look at him with nervous expectancy.
They all know what the purpose of coming today is, so how can they not look forward to it.
Among the dozen boys, the only girl among them attracted special attention.
Seeing Lin Zhenan staring at the thin girl for a while, the clan elder took the initiative to explain to him.
"Her name is Lin Xi. She is from your grandfather's third family. Her parents died in an accident. This time she came to me after hearing the news and begged in front of my door for a long time. I really had no choice but to let her come. of."
The little girl was skinny and looked stunted at first glance. The only thing on her face that was sallow and thin was a pair of startlingly bright eyes.
The moment Lin Zhenan moved his eyes away, the little girl's big eyes that were as bright as stars dimmed.
But then, she clenched her fists nervously and pulled up Lin Zhenan's sleeves with trembling hands, her voice trembling because of her nervousness.
"Uncle, uncle, can you let me stay? I can do a lot of work and I can read."
Seeing this, the clan elder quickly scolded her, "Xiao Xi, you forgot what I told you when you came here!"
The reason why he spoke before Lin Zhenan was also to protect her.
Lin Zhenan waved his hand and said it was okay.
There are only two places in total, and at least I have remembered this little girl now.
He looked at Mrs. Lin and asked, "Sister, what do you think?"
His sister has always been a better judge of people than he is, so he listens to his sister.
Logically speaking, a married daughter should not be involved in this matter, but these are all family members, and it doesn't matter if they say more.
So Mrs. Lin lowered her eyes and asked softly in Juan Juan's ear: "Juan Juan, is there any brother or sister you like?"
The little girl also looked at this golden nugget. Regardless of Juan Juan's age, the title of princess alone meant that he was a very powerful person in her eyes.
Juan Juan's clean eyes stayed on Lin Xi for a while, then he chewed the snacks in his mouth and swallowed them, patting the residue on his hands.
Xiao Naiyin said crisply: "Juanjuan likes this sister!"
Lin Zhenan smiled. He asked his father and mother again, and neither of them had any objections, so he left the little girl behind.
In addition to Lin Xi, he finally picked a boy who was thirteen years old and looked very good.
On the way back, Mrs. Lin curiously asked why she liked that sister.
The little guy tilted his head and thought about it for a while, then said seriously: "Sister has a golden light on her body!"
The grandfathers in the fairy world said that the golden light will come with great luck, and when the time comes, it will soar into the sky.
And judging from the concentration of golden light on my sister, it won’t be long before she becomes popular.
In the palace, Jiang Yuesheng's white and tender face was filled with condensation. She asked the man in black below, "Did she say something?"
The man in black replied respectfully: "Your Highness, no, but she said she wanted to see you."
What they were talking about was the maid they picked up in the capital that day. The Ninth Princess did not torture the maid because she wanted to rebel against her.
