The Hou family's legitimate daughter died tragically and went to the palace, and then she was r

Following the voice, a man with a tall and steady posture and a handsome face approached them.

"Brother, why did you come back suddenly?"

Lin Qingyun spoke unexpectedly.

The person who came was none other than his eldest brother, the eldest son of Dingbei Hou Mansion, Lin Qingfeng.

His name is Qingfeng, but he is so arrogant on the battlefield that he is invincible. People say that he is even better than his father, and he is very similar to the old Marquis from forty years ago.

Because I had to deal with some things at the border, I came back later than Lin Xiaotian and the others, and they didn't come back until today.

"Qingfeng, you're finally back. Can you think of a solution? You can't just watch your sister jump into the fire pit and ruin your life."

Mrs. Lin seemed to have found support all of a sudden, grabbing Lin Qingfeng's hand, her voice choked with sobs.

"Tell me carefully."

Lin Qingfeng, who has been at the border and has not paid attention to the affairs in the capital, naturally does not know what is happening here.

After hearing Lin Qingyun explain the whole story clearly, Lin Qingfeng's brows slowly wrinkled.

"What you mean is that you don't want Xue'er to marry the disabled Xu Huaian."

In the past, when Xu Huai'an was well, he was a quick son-in-law in their eyes, but now that his legs are disabled, he is certainly not worthy of their Xue'er.

"He is indeed not a good match for Xue'er, and he cannot give Xue'er happiness."

The other three people all agreed with this statement.

"That's right. Xue'er is innocent and kind. If she marries him, her whole life will be ruined."

Thinking of Lin Qingxue who had fallen asleep in the room, they were both worried and angry.

Worried about Lin Qingxue's future and angry at Lin Jinglan, if she had been willing to help, things would not have reached this point.

"But you can't let Jinglan marry Xu Huaian on Qingxue's behalf. This is Qingxue's marriage, and Jinglan should not be responsible for it."

Unexpectedly, what Lin Qingfeng said next shocked the other three people.

"Qingfeng...you...Xue'er is your most beloved sister."

Mrs. Lin was a little in disbelief. She thought Qingfeng would think of other ways to help Xueer after she came back, but why did she mean that Xueer should accept her fate?

"Dad, mom is confused sometimes, are you confused too? Jinglan is going to marry the only prince in Prince Jin's palace. You forced Jinglan to marry instead, which not only offended Prince Zhao, but also offended Prince Jin. Although Gu Junheng was a dandy, he was deeply loved. The emperor’s favorite.”

Having said this, looking at Lin Xiaotian's slightly changed expression, Lin Qingfeng continued to speak.

"Father, think about it, if I offend King Jin and King Zhao one after another, my Dingbei Hou Mansion can still be prosperous for a few more years, and whether our Lin family will decline."

Lin Qingfeng said in a deep voice, and Mrs. Lin and Lin Qingyun also fell silent because of his serious words.

"The Empress made it clear that there is no room for change at this time. Xue'er will marry Xu Huaian and Jinglan will marry Gu Junheng. This outcome is already the best."

Only in this way can it be of the greatest benefit to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

"But what to do about Xue'er? How can she be happy when she marries Xu Huaian? You are forcing her to die."

Lin Qingxue was Mrs. Lin's favorite. Even though her eldest son weighed the pros and cons, she was still unwilling to give up on Xue'er.

"If you don't agree, you are forcing her to die now."

Lin Qingfeng said calmly, the reputation of having a private life had already spread, what else could she do?

Seeing his parents' worried expressions, Lin Qingfeng also softened his tone.

"Mom and dad, don't worry. Xue'er is the most favored young lady in my Dingbei Hou Mansion. She has two brothers, Qingyun and me, to support her. Prince Jin's Mansion will definitely treat Xue'er well if she marries her."

Lin Qingfeng was so comforting.

"What Feng'er said is that the Lin family's century-old foundation cannot be destroyed just now. The two brothers will have to gain a foothold in the Chu Dynasty in the future."

Lin Xiaotian finally agreed with his eldest son's statement that Lin Qingxue was still not as important as Dingbei Hou Mansion.

"Okay, let's go back first and let Xue'er have a good rest. There are so many maids and maids here to take care of her, so nothing will happen."

Lin Qingfeng comforted his parents and then went back together.

After they left, the door suddenly opened, and Lin Qingxue appeared in front of the door with a pale face.

"Miss, why are you up? Go and lie down."

The maid next to Lin Qingxue quickly stepped forward to help her lie back down.

But Lin Qingxue remained motionless, her eyes slightly hollow.

"Did my parents and brothers give up on me? They don't want to help me anymore, are they just going to watch me marry Xu Huaian?"

She had heard everything the Lin family had just said, and she couldn't believe that her eldest brother, who had always loved her, would persuade her parents to let her marry Xu Huaian.

I can't even believe that my parents actually agreed.

"Miss, actually Mrs. Hou Ye also loves you very much, but..."

The maid wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know what to say.

"But I'm still not as important as Dingbeihou Mansion. I'm not the first priority in their hearts."

Lin Qingxue murmured and interrupted the maid's words.

"I am not willing to accept my fate. Since they don't help me, I will help myself."

Holding the hand of the maid next to her tightly, Lin Qingxue spoke word by word.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. The person she, Lin Qingxue, wants to marry must be a good person among people, someone who can let her enjoy honor and glory, and cannot be a cripple.

The maid Ying'er looked at Lin Qingxue's ferocious look, and suddenly felt a little fearful in her heart.

Not long after Lin Jinglan on the other side returned to her yard, she heard the news that Lin Qingfeng had returned home.

"Miss, the eldest son is back, will there be any changes in this matter?"

Qiaoyan poured Lin Jinglan a cup of tea and asked with a worried expression.

I heard from people around the madam before that the eldest young master is the one who loves the second young lady the most.

What if he also comes to force the young lady?

"Don't worry, he won't."

Lin Jinglan pinched Qiaoyan's fleshy face and said with a smile.

Although Lin Qingfeng loved his younger siblings and was filial to his parents, as the eldest son of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, what he valued most was always profit.

This is Lin Jinglan's biggest feeling in his past life. Not only is he much more powerful than Lin Qingyun, he is also much more ruthless than him.

He only still loves Lin Qingxue, but has no feelings for himself at all.

"Miss, the eldest son is here."

At this moment, a girl led a young man in.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years. Jinglan has grown so big and is becoming more and more beautiful."

Lin Qingfeng had just walked in. Before Lin Jinglan could speak, he smiled and spoke first, with a friendly tone and a warm expression.

"I've seen big brother."

Lin Jinglan just stood up and bowed slightly, dignifiedly and politely.

She didn't expect that Lin Qingfeng would come to find her after she came back. Did she see that she was more valuable than Lin Qingxue?

"Why are Jinglan so polite? Come and take a look. This is a gift from my elder brother, a fire fox cloak. I hunted it myself. Jinglan will look great in it."

As he spoke, he opened the bundle in his hand and showed it to Lin Jinglan.

Lin Jinglan smiled, stroked the smooth and soft cloak, and shook his head gently.

"Brother, you should take the cloak back and give it to Qingxue. This fire fox cloak should not belong to me."
