After everyone left, there were only four members of the Lin family left in the room.

The faces of Lin Xiaotian and Mrs. Lin finally darkened, and their eyes looking at Lin Jinglan were filled with resentment and anger.

"Have you expected what happened today?"

Lin Xiaotian spoke in a deep voice, and Mrs. Lin also sat up and looked at her biological daughter with an unkind expression.

"What joke are you talking about, father? I have been kneeling in the ancestral hall all the time. If Aunt Du hadn't pulled me over, I wouldn't have known that my mother was seriously ill."

Lin Jinglan still stood there, with a calm expression on his face, but his eyes were cold.

Now that Princess Jin's betrothal gift has been received, the marriage is a certainty and the entire capital will know about it before tomorrow.

There is no possibility of changing the marriage between Lin Jinglan, the eldest daughter of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and Gu Junheng, the eldest son of Prince Jin.

No matter how her parents forced Lin Jinglan from now on, there was nothing they could do.

"Jinglan, do you think you will be happy if you marry that dandy Gu Junheng?"

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Jinglan's eyes full of disappointment and asked coldly.

"A gentleman should keep his promise. Since I am engaged to Gu Junheng, my daughter will never regret it no matter whether she is happy or not in the future."

Lin Jinglan didn't change at all, and still spoke calmly.

The slightly raised corners of her lips seemed to be smiling. Even marrying Gu Junheng would be much better than marrying that cripple Xu Huaian.

"Okay, okay, you are indeed my good daughter. Just don't regret it in the future."

Lin Xiaotian seemed to be trembling with anger, and his indifferent tone did not sound like he was facing his daughter, but more like he was facing his enemy.

"Since my mother is fine, my daughter will leave first. Anyway, my sister is here to accompany my mother."

After taking a look at Lin Qingxue, whose eyes were red and swollen and still crying, Lin Jinglan saluted the two of them and then turned around and returned to her yard.

"Miss, please eat something quickly. You haven't eaten all day and all night."

Qiaoyan had already prepared a table of food and was eagerly waiting for Lin Jinglan to come back.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Jinglan felt some warmth. Now in the entire Hou Mansion, Qiaoyan is probably the only person who really cares about herself.

"You eat too."

"No, that's against the rules."

Qiaoyan shook his head hurriedly, and Lin Jinglan also shook his head with a firm tone.

"Sit down and eat."

Qiaoyan sat down helplessly, and the two of them talked while eating.

"Miss, Princess Jin has paid a betrothal gift today. It's great that you finally don't have to marry Prince Xu anymore."

Even Qiaoyan understands that even marrying a dandy is better than marrying a cripple.

"probably."

Smiling slightly, Lin Jinglan was thinking that now that she was married to Gu Junheng, her parents would think of ways to prevent Lin Qingxue and Xu Huaian's marriage.

After all, Lin Qingxue was their heartthrob and treasure, and they would not just watch Lin Qingxue marry Xu Huaian.

"It's just Miss. I heard that Prince Jun is also a dandy who flirts with cats and dogs and hangs around brothels. If you marry him."

Qiao Yan didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was obvious. Such a person seemed not much better than Xu Huaian.

"It doesn't matter. You have to remember one thing. At least Prince Jin's Palace is much simpler than Prince Zhao's Palace."

The Prince Zhao's Mansion not only has Xu Huaian, the eldest son, but now the Prince Zhao's backyard is complex and has many heirs, not to mention the amount of scandals in it.

In her previous life, she was stuck in a quagmire, immersed in the conspiracy and calculations in the backyard all day long.

Prince Jin only has one wife, Princess Jin, and only one son, Gu Junheng, making him the simplest family in the entire capital.

Lin Jinglan had a good sleep and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

In the past, since her parents came back, she would get up early every day, go to greet her parents, and then help her mother dress and eat.

Originally, as a legitimate eldest daughter, she didn't have to do these things, but at that time, Lin Jinglan thought that she had not been with her parents for many years, and now she wanted to be more filial and wanted to strengthen her relationship with her parents and family.

But every time they had a meal, their family was enjoying themselves happily. She was busy working nearby, but no one paid attention to her. She was just like an outsider.

Now that she has been reborn, she will not be asking for trouble in the future.

After having a simple breakfast with Qiaoyan, she was just about to go out when a man suddenly walked into her small courtyard, with a menacing attitude and angry eyes.

"Lin Jinglan, you are too presumptuous. You are a daughter, but you are unfilial and disobedient. How can you be worthy of being a member of my Lin family?"

Lin Jinglan's expression gradually turned cold as she watched the young man coming towards her and yelling at her.

"Second brother is quite free. He comes to question me as soon as he comes back, so he is filial."

The tone was sarcastic and devoid of any emotion.

This young man is her second brother, the second son of Dingbei Hou Mansion, Lin Qingyun, a famous young general.

I left home a few days ago to inspect the Xishan Camp and just came back this morning.

But her biological second brother was equally biased to the extreme. He never regarded her as his biological sister and only recognized Lin Qingxue.

In his previous life, he and his parents forced him to marry Xu Huaian.

Later, when I encountered difficulties in Prince Zhao's Mansion, I wanted to ask him for help, but he said coldly that a married woman should not have too much entanglement with her natal family.

Even when he saw himself being bullied and laughed at by others, he just looked on with cold eyes.

"How dare you speak to me like this?"

Lin Qingyun was a little surprised by Lin Jinglan's tone. His sister had always been dignified and polite, and her attitude towards him had always been flattering. She had never spoken to him like this before.

"Second brother, is there anything? If not, I will leave first. I still have something to do."

Not wanting to say anything more to this black-hearted second brother, Lin Jinglan stepped out of the courtyard.

"Lin Jinglan, I know everything that happened in the past two days. Why did you disobey your parents and not want to marry Xu Huaian?"

Sure enough, it was still for Lin Qingxue.

"There is no reason. The person who made the engagement with me is Gu Junheng, not Xu Huaian. Naturally, I don't want to marry him."

He looked straight at Lin Qingyun. He had been injured on the battlefield and had hidden illnesses that made it difficult to sleep at night.

After she found out, she wrote a letter to ask the seniors in the Valley of Divine Medicine to get him a prescription, mix his meals, and cook a bowl of soup every night to help him sleep.

But not only did he not show any gratitude, he also repeatedly told Lin Qingxue that this was what a servant should do, and she was the only one who did it regardless of her status as a daughter-in-law, just to curry favor.

But in this life, such a thing will never happen again.

Lin Qingyun's face darkened when he heard Lin Jinglan's indifferent words.

"Let's talk about the wedding later. Now hurry up and kneel down to apologize to your parents. And Xue'er, you have to apologize to her too!"
