The Lin family had finally grown up a seedling, how could he have the heart to cut it off like this?

"The flowers in the greenhouse are destined to be unable to withstand the devastation. They will not survive the slightest bit of cold wind. Aren't the clan leaders worried about the future?"

Lin Runkun was silent, and Jiang Ruanxi knew that he had listened to his words.

"The patriarch is not young anymore." Jiang Ruanxi plucked his fingernails, "Lin Shu is only in his weak years. The patriarch can protect him today. If the patriarch goes away in the future, who can protect him?"

Lin Runkun understands this truth, but is still a little hesitant, "But the risk is really too great."

"If you give up, you will gain. Instead of worrying about it all day long, why don't you give it a try?"

Jiang Ruanxi looked at the branches outside the window, "Maybe a hundred years from now, the Lin family will become a scholarly family and be respected by others, just like the He family."

Hearing this, Lin Runkun's eyes sparkled.

That is his lifelong pursuit!

If such a day comes, he will die in peace.

"Don't worry, Patriarch. There are still five days left. During this time, you can think carefully."

After Jiang Ruanxi left, Lin Shu thought that Lin Runkun was giving up on him and really wanted to listen to Jiang Ruanxi's words, so he quickly said, "Chief, her words are not credible. She and her cousin are husband and wife, how can she still think about us?"

"But do you have a better way? Just like what she said, even if you have collected enough money this time, the Hou Mansion is greedy. If they use this to blackmail you again, what will you do?"

"Besides collecting enough money again and constantly meeting his demands, what else can you do?"

His words silenced Lin Shu. He really had no countermeasures now.

"Are you willing to live a life controlled by others like this?"

"My nephew is naturally unwilling."

Lin Runkun nodded, "Then do as Jiang Ruanxi said and confess this matter to His Majesty."

Wha, what?

Lin Shuzheng didn't expect such a method, and he was stunned, but he thought that he could only do this now.

After all, he really couldn't afford so much money.

I soon let go.

the next day.

Lin Ningkun and Zhou were still at home, happily waiting for Lin Shu to send money, but they did not expect to wait until Lin Tingting came in with a sad face.

Not only Lin Tingting came over with a sad face, but also He Shi came over with a big belly.

"Mother, what on earth are you doing? Do you have to force me to death for you to be satisfied in your heart?" Lin Tingting came in and said unhappily.

Zhou was confused, Lin Ningkun also frowned slightly, but Jiang Ruanxi took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "Third sister, why don't you explain something directly? Mother may not understand what you say."

"It's all your fault. Even if you want Brother Lin Shu's money, can't you endure it any longer?" Lin Tingting was so angry that she cried, "You have done things so ruthlessly, I don't think you will say anything about my marriage. , you just let me live alone forever."

"Tingting, what's going on? Don't scare mother. Can you explain it directly?"

"Mother, the whole of Kyoto knows about the fact that you spent money to ask your second uncle to take care of his official career." He said with a mocking look on his face and a bit of anger.

Wha, what?

Mrs. Zhou couldn't believe it, Mrs. He continued, "Not only that, everyone also knows that you used Lin Shu's excuse to threaten Lin Shu. Our good Hou Mansion has now become a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouted for beating.”

Jiang Ruanxi unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, pretending to be surprised and said, "Sister-in-law, are you mistaken? How could people in Kyoto know about such a private matter?"

"How could I be wrong? It was Lin Shu and Lin Runkun who said this." He looked at her younger sibling and had a feeling in her heart. She always felt that this matter had a lot to do with her, but it had nothing to do with it. evidence.

"What? Isn't Lin Shu crazy? Does he really not want his future?" Zhou couldn't believe it. "And Lin Runkun, isn't he crazy with him?"

"Whether they are crazy or not, the most important thing for mother now is to figure everything out before talking." Jiang Ruanxi reminded.

"Master Marquis, someone from the palace wants you to come into the palace to meet His Majesty."

Just as Jiang Ruan Xi finished speaking, a servant came in to report.

The faces of the Lin family suddenly became serious.

"Why did your majesty suddenly send someone here? He didn't tell you earlier or later, so why did it happen at this time?" Mrs. Zhou frowned.

Lin Ningkun couldn't be happy either, but he still comforted him, "Mother, the Holy Father may not be looking for me because of Lin Runkun and Lin Shu's affairs, but maybe it's because of something else."

Zhou was not a fool. Although Lin Ningkun said so, she still couldn't be happy.

Jiang Ruanxi on the side said quietly, "Master Hou, don't keep the people in the palace waiting for too long."

Lin Ningkun's heart was extremely heavy, but he did not dare to delay.

After he went to the palace, Lin Tingting started to cry, "It's over. If the Holy Emperor makes an attack this time, our Lin family will be doomed."

Moreover, her marriage is probably not going well.

Lin Tingting felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. If she had known that when she was at Guangming Temple, she would not have been so picky, not choose the prince, and just hug Sun Chengye's thigh tightly, and she would not have ended up in such an embarrassing end.

"Third sister, don't talk nonsense." He scolded, "The Holy Emperor has not spoken yet, and we don't know what the situation is. Don't say those dejected words. Let's wait until the second brother comes back to talk about everything."

"You just have to wait. I don't have the patience anyway." Lin Tingting can't control that much now. If she really waits until the imperial edict is issued, her marriage will really be over.

No, before that, she must find a way to finalize her marriage.

Lin Tingting left, and Mr. He's face turned cold. "I said that the second and third sisters are like this. Should you take good care of them? They are not big or small. How will we talk about marriage in the future?"

"My sister-in-law is really wronging me if she blames me for this incident." Jiang Ruanxi smiled lightly, "My mother is still here, how can it be my turn to teach the third sister? Besides, if the eldest sister-in-law is like Mother, even if mother is gone, it is my sister-in-law who should teach me, don’t you think?"

Mr. He's face was ugly. Jiang Ruanxi knew what Mr. He was thinking and didn't care at all. "Sister-in-law comes from a scholarly family. I think she knows many rules better than me, right? You said this, maybe you wish your mother was gone." ?"

Zhou turned back to look at He, with deep anger in her eyes.

"Mother, she didn't mean that." Before He could speak, Lin Feng came out and said, "Second brother and sister, you also misunderstood. My wife meant that mother is old and her own health is not convenient now, so I just wanted to trouble my second younger brother and sister to take care of this matter."

He had a bad temper, but he had a man who protected him.

Just because of this, her life won't be any worse.

"Sister-in-law, is that true?"
