Privately decided for life!

Xu Huaian's words suddenly silenced the already chattering crowd.

Aristocratic families always attach great importance to rules. Even things like a private life-long contract are mentioned, which is enough to make a woman lose her face and live without shame.

Unexpectedly, Dingbei Hou and his wife gave birth to such a daughter after many years of careful teaching.

"No, you're talking nonsense. I've never done such a thing at all."

Lin Qingxue was immediately angered by Xu Huaian's words, pointing at Xu Huaian and shouting.

And Xu Huai'an glanced at Lin Qingxue, his eyes no longer had the previous admiration and love, tenderness and care, only his eyes were full of coldness.

Lin Xiaotian and his wife also looked at Xu Huaian bitterly.

Lin Jinglan looked at them and thought, if he were not in front of the empress at this moment, his good father would probably have wanted to kill Xu Huaian.

"Xu Huaian, the honor of my daughter's family is no joke. Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

The emperor also frowned. A good Hundred Flowers Banquet should be a joy for the emperor and his ministers, but something like this happened. It was really disappointing.

"Your Majesty is aware that although my daughter may be lively and active, she will never do anything that goes against the rules and regulations of giving or receiving in private."

Lin Xiaotian kowtowed to the emperor and spoke sadly.

"Master Lin, please see if this thing looks familiar to you."

After hearing Lin Xiaotian's words, Xu Huaian smiled coldly, and then took out a handkerchief from his arms.

There is a peony embroidered on the handkerchief, and the word Qingxue is embroidered below the handkerchief.

"Miss Lin Er gave me a personal handkerchief and said that she would not marry me unless I am. In addition, we are already engaged, so Your Majesty, this marriage cannot be dissolved."

A woman's handkerchief is a personal item. With this evidence, even if the Lin family refutes it, there is nothing they can do.

Lin Qingxue collapsed on the ground with a sad expression.

"It's not me, I didn't"

She murmured these words, but no matter how much she said, no one believed her.

"Master Lin, is it because my son is slightly ill now that you dislike him so much? You have said before that Qingxue and I, Huai'an, are a match made in heaven."

Although King Zhao always loved to protect himself wisely, in front of everyone, the Lin family wanted to regret their marriage. If he did nothing, he would be in vain as a father.

"Yes, they were in love before, and my son was injured just to protect Miss Lin Er. What you did is a bit unkind and unjust."

After Princess Zhao finished saying these words, she kowtowed to the emperor and empress, tears falling from her eyes.

"Your Majesty and the Queen, please make the decision."

Tired by his reputation, coupled with the current practices of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

The emperor and empress also looked solemn and glanced at Lin Qingxue with an unkind look.

Everyone knew in their hearts that there were only two solutions at this time.

Lin Qingxue's reputation has been ruined. If she doesn't agree to the marriage, it seems that she will have no choice but to die to prove the family tradition.

Lin Jinglan watched all this quietly, and the dog-eating-dog scene looked pretty good.

"Xue'er, my legs will still be well. Don't worry, I will never let you down after you marry me."

Xu Huaian turned the wheelchair and came to Lin Qingxue, leaned over and grabbed her hand, and said softly.

But Lin Qingxue could see clearly that the tenderness in his eyes was no longer there.

"I don't want it, I don't want it"

But her words were ignored at this time.

"Xu Huai'an, the eldest son of Prince Zhao, has a noble character and is both civilized and martial. He is a perfect match for the second lady of the Lin family. We have chosen an auspicious day to get married. We will give him a pair of Ruyi jade as a token of grace."

Finally, the emperor no longer hesitated and issued the decree in a deep voice.

After this decree, there was no room for change in Lin Qingxue's marriage to Xu Huaian.

It's just that this decree is very unhappy and perfunctory at first glance.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The people in Prince Zhao's Mansion kowtowed and thanked them, but the Lin family's faces were ashen and they forgot their movements for a moment.

"Master Lin, madam, why don't you thank me? Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty's will?"

At this moment, there is no expression, and the only person who can say this is Gu Junheng, a dandy who is not afraid of anything.

When Lin Xiaotian raised his head, he saw that the emperor and the queen's expressions were not very good, and they were slightly gloomy.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Everyone in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, including Lin Jinglan, kowtowed and thanked him.

It's just that Lin Jinglan is probably the only one who is happy at this moment.

The Lin family's parents helped Lin Qingxue, who was in a daze and still in disbelief, to get up and sit aside.

At this time, they had no time to care about Lin Jinglan.

It was originally a Hundred Flowers Banquet, but after such an incident, it seemed that the Hundred Flowers Banquet was no longer so happy and pleasant.

Many wealthy families are even reluctant to go on stage to perform.

Those noble ladies relied on their status and talents, but they were involved in Lin Qingxue's scandal today. They themselves felt embarrassed and simply stopped performing.

The emperor, empress, and others lost much interest in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. In the end, they casually pointed out a daughter of a minor official who was willing to perform her talents as the leader of the Hundred Flowers Banquet. This was the end of the Hundred Flowers Banquet that the capital's daughter had been waiting for for a long time.

Naturally, those daughters had anger in their hearts, and all this anger was directed at Lin Qingxue.

If Lin Qingxue hadn't done such a shameless and ungrateful thing and made the matter such a big deal, how would the Hundred Flowers Banquet have been affected?

"Jinglan, you have been wronged by what happened today. Your grandmother passed away and your grandfather left home. I know your situation in the Lin family."

Princess Jin kept Lin Jinglan sitting next to her. Before leaving, she held her hand and spoke with heartache.

"I didn't know before, but now that I know, I will protect you. If you have any difficulties, just send someone to inform Prince Jin's Mansion, and I will support you."

The behavior of Lin Xiaotian and his wife today also made many people aware of their preference for Lin Qingxue and their lack of regard for Lin Jinglan.

"That's right, you are my son, no one can bully you. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to spare him."

Gu Junheng stood lazily beside Princess Jin and spoke in an arrogant tone.

But King Jin and Princess Jin showed satisfied smiles.

Well, this guy knows how to love his wife, so that’s good.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Jinglan understands."

Lin Jinglan bowed respectfully to Princess Jin. She was generous and neither humble nor overbearing, which made Princess Jin couldn't be more satisfied.

Fortunately, Jinglan did not stay with his parents, but was raised by the old marquis and his wife.

Jun Heng from his family is just lucky.

Looking at Lin Jinglan's leaving figure, Princess Jin sighed.

"What a wonderful child, but with such a pair of parents."

Fortunately, he will be part of their family from now on.

"Then, should the mother-in-law advance our marriage and bring her home as soon as possible?"
