Lin Tingwan saw that everyone turned their heads to look at her, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

She didn't know at first.

In her previous life, after she returned to Shangjing, she fell out with her only good friend Su Hanyan because she had been away for too long and because of Lin Tangning and Fang Yule.

Yu Huaixing was the only one left by her side. At first she felt strange as to why he didn't drink tea.

But one time when the two of them went out together, he accidentally ate a pastry that had tea mixed in it. After a while, his whole body was covered with red rashes, he had difficulty breathing and almost had an accident. Fortunately, he didn't eat too much and there was a clinic nearby that saved his life.

Later, when he died, he said it was because he drank the tea by mistake and was not treated in time.

But Lin Tingwan knew it very well in his heart. He knew that he could not drink tea and never drank it. Moreover, it happened after he stood up to plead for the Lin family.

No matter how you look at it, this seems like a conspiracy, a naked conspiracy! It's just a murder to silence the witnesses.

Yu Huaixing quickly reacted, "Yangyang is right, I can't drink tea. I didn't expect that Yangyang still remembers these things from childhood."

He was just giving Lin Tingwan a way out. Although they often played together when they were young, they were too young to drink tea at that time. Even Yu Huaixing himself did not discover this problem until he grew up.

Lin Mingqian nodded, but his eyes were still a little suspicious, "So that's how it is. It's my fault that I almost harmed His Royal Highness."

"General Lin, what are you talking about? We haven't seen each other for a long time. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. How can I blame you when you don't know anything?" Yu Huaixing's lips curled up slightly with indescribable tenderness and kindness.

The servants followed Lin Tingwan's order and came over with tea. They placed a cup of water in front of Yu Huaixing.

"General Lin, I am here today only because my father misses you. We haven't seen each other for a long time and I want to invite you to dinner at my mansion tomorrow. What do you think, General Lin?"

Lin Mingqian laughed loudly, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Your arrival is just in time, Prince."

Lin Yuehong raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked jokingly, "Sir, I wonder if my sister and I can go to the dinner together tomorrow?"

"Of course, the General of the Central Army and Yangyang can come with General Lin."

"Oh, although I am a few years older than you, the three of us grew up together. Call me Zhonglang Jiang and call her Yangyang. Your Highness, you are really partial to her like you were when we were little." Lin Yuehong raised his eyebrows.

Yu Huaixing smiled shyly, "What are you talking about, General Zhonglang? It's just that you have an official position, so it's not nice to call someone by his name."

"Oh my, so that's how it is." As he said that, he nudged Lin Tingwan with his arm.

Lin Yuehong turned and looked at her, "Yangyang, are you willing to go with me tomorrow?"

"Of course I am willing."

Yu Huaixing nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the person he brought with him. The latter immediately understood and put his hand on his wheelchair. "General Lin, I have already passed on the message. I will not bother you any more. Goodbye."

Hearing this, Lin Mingqian said with a look of regret, "How can this be? Since the prince is here, please stay a little longer." After that, he suddenly changed the subject to Lin Yuehong, "Prince and Yuehong have not seen each other for many years. I remember that you two used to get along best. Now that you finally meet, why don't you catch up?"

This was pure lies. Just like what Lin Yuehong said just now, Yu Huaixing's relationship with him was not as good as his relationship with Lin Tingwan. Perhaps he had been staying with him since childhood just to be closer to Lin Tingwan.

Although he didn't know what Lin Mingqian was planning, Lin Yuehong took a step forward after he realized what was going on and pushed the person pushing his wheelchair away. "Yes, my father is right, so stay here for dinner."

"This..." Yu Huaixing hesitated for a moment.

Lin Mingqian didn't even give him a chance to respond, and quickly called someone over and said, "Inform Marquis Wu'an that we'll have dinner at the Lin residence today."

"Yes--"

This family was very decisive and by the time he reacted, he had already been pushed to the backyard by Lin Yuehong.

Lin Mingqian asked everyone to leave, leaving only Lin Tingwan and Song Yingyue.

He asked, "Yangyang, since you don't want to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you willing to marry the Crown Prince?"

Lin Tingwan was a little confused and looked at him in confusion. Although she had a good relationship with Yu Huaixing in her previous life, she had never thought of marrying him.

"Dad, why do you have such an idea?"

Lin Mingqian looked serious. "To be honest, if Dad goes to His Majesty alone to cancel your engagement with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the chances of success are slim. But if Marquis Wu'an comes with Dad, His Majesty should agree."

"Marquis Wu'an is a hereditary marquisate, but he has the merit of following the emperor. Moreover, it is because of Your Majesty that the prince has this maternal disease. Your Majesty will not refuse it no matter what."

Lin Tingwan knew what he meant, but she shook her head, "Dad, the prince has been very kind to me since I was a child. I don't want to use him. It's better not to involve the Wu'an Marquis family in this matter."

Song Yingyue was a little reluctant to hear this, "What's wrong with you? It's not easy for your father to solve the arranged marriage for you. Just now you said that if there is any way, you will definitely cooperate. Now your father puts this method in front of you and you don't want to, what are you going to do?"

Lin Mingqian frowned, "Alright, this is between Yangyang and I, don't butt in on it anymore."

Song Yingyue said earnestly, "General, I am doing this for your own good. This matter is difficult to handle. Don't you think about it carefully? With the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if the engagement is cancelled, it will be a matter of loss of face in the common people, let alone in the royal family."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future, what will you do if he makes things difficult for you because of this incident? We can't afford to offend the royal family, sir!"

"I've made an agreement! You don't have to worry about this. This is a matter between us father and daughter. Get out!"

"Master, I know you also want the best for Yangyang, but you can't keep doting on her unconditionally! This matter involves the life and death of the entire Lin family, you can't accompany her in making trouble!"

"I said, get out!" Lin Mingqian said with a serious expression.

This was the first time in all these years that he had spoken harsh words to Song Yingyue. She looked sad, sighed deeply, shook her head helplessly, and passed by Lin Tingwan.

Lin Tingwan didn't know how to express her inner feelings at the moment. The relationship between her and Song Yingyue had just eased a little a few days ago. She also knew that Song Yingyue was right and this matter was of great importance.

But deep down she still felt sad that she didn't stand on her side.
