The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Bai frowned and asked, "Lin family? Which Lin family?"

"She is the legitimate daughter of the original wife of Lin Shilou, the president of the Hanlin Academy. She has a good relationship with me, so my cousin became interested in her after meeting her."

"Are you saying that Jiu Xiao has fallen in love with that woman?"

Mu Yan nodded, "My cousin is very serious, and I know that girl. She was raised by Old Madam Lin. She is well-educated, well-mannered, and has excellent character. She is a good girl picked out of a hundred."

Bai smiled and said, "Okay, then I must find a chance to meet this beautiful woman that Yan Er praised."

Soon the two of them arrived in front of the study, and Bai said to Mu Yan, "Okay, you go in by yourself, I'll go prepare lunch first."

Mu Yan put her hand on the door frame, but she didn't have the courage to push it open.

Although this was not the first time she had seen her grandfather in this life, her grandfather had been in a coma the last time she went to the border, and this time was the first time they had officially met.

Yes, she was scared.

She was afraid that her grandfather would ask her about her changes, and she didn't know how to answer. She was even more afraid that after pushing open this door, she would find out that her rebirth was just a dream.

It was not until Bai walked away that Mu Yan made up her mind. She took a deep breath and prepared to gently push the door open.

But I didn't expect the door to open from the inside.

What caught my eye was that familiar and old face, with a hint of kindness in his majestic look, "Why, is grandpa a man-eating tiger? You have been hesitating outside for a long time and dare not come in."

Mu Yan smiled foolishly, and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was always afraid to come to her grandparents' house with her mother. She said that her grandfather Han Zhen was a big tiger, so she was afraid.

"Even if my grandfather was a tiger, he wouldn't be willing to eat me."

"Hahaha, then what are you still standing there for? Come in quickly."

The grandfather and grandson started their formal conversation only after they closed the door.

As expected, Han Zhen still asked about her bravery in crossing the border, defeating three enemy armies alone on horseback, and fighting against the armored army with wits.

I wonder how she could have changed so much in just one year.

Mu Yan thought for a moment and said, "My granddaughter did have a wonderful encounter, and she also worshipped a divine master, but the master has been in seclusion for many years and will not let me reveal his name to the public."

She really couldn't explain to her grandfather something as illusory as rebirth, so she could only say this.

Han Zhen stroked his graying beard and said, "So that's how it is. This must be an opportunity given to you by God. You must repay your master in the future."

"Don't worry, grandpa. Your granddaughter knows what to do."

Han Zhen then asked, "The Liao people would launch a surprise attack after they were defeated. Our spies didn't even find out about this. How did you know about this?"

Fortunately, Mu Yan had already thought of an excuse for this matter: "An intelligence organization has appeared in Beijing. This organization is very powerful, spread all over the country, and has an excellent reputation.

The leader of that organization happened to be a good friend of mine. He told me the news as soon as he got it, so I had the chance to come and save you."

Perhaps because of their blood relationship, Han Zhen believed in what Mu Yan said without a doubt, "So that's how it is. It seems that God is still protecting our Han family, otherwise your uncle and I would not be able to return safely.

Tell your good friend that our Han family will remember this favor."

Mu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately these things were resolved.

The family had a great time during the lunch, and Mu Yan told all the embarrassing things Han Jiuxiao did when he was pursuing Lin Shishi.

Wearing red and green, walking with your legs turned back, etc., the house was filled with laughter.

During the entire lunch, Han Jiuxiao's face was as red as if it was congested, and it went all the way to his ears.

Han Yunnan and his wife had never seen their son so attentive to that girl, and they secretly vowed to help their son marry this girl.

Just when the Han family was trying to arrange a marriage for Han Jiuxiao, the Lin family was in chaos.

"no!"

Madam Lin slammed the dragon head cane heavily, "I will never allow you and your wife to marry Shishi into the Duke of Xianguo's mansion."

Lin Shilou said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, that is the Duke's Mansion. Do you know how many people I asked to arrange this marriage for her?"

Meng also pretended to persuade her, "Mother, my daughter Yanyan didn't even get such a good marriage."

Old Madam Lin was so angry that she laughed back: "How dare you say this is a good marriage."

Lin Shishi's eyes were slightly red, and she choked up as she said, "Father, the third young master of Duke Xian's mansion, Xian Yuqing, already has three wives who have died. It's said outside that these wives were abused to death by Qi Yuqing. How could you bear to marry your daughter into that hell?"

Lin Shilou slammed the table hard and said, "Nonsense, those are just some rumors in the market, don't take them seriously. Besides, after you got engaged to the young master of the Li family, the young master of the Li family had an accident, and there were rumors that you were destined to be a husband-killer. Now that you can get married to the Duke of Xian's mansion, it is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life."

Lin Shishi was so shocked by these words that she took two steps back. Fortunately, the maid beside her supported her and she was able to stabilize her body.

I didn't expect that my biological father also thought that I was an unlucky person who would bring bad luck to my husband, just like outsiders did.

Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it and said, "If you two insist on marrying Lin Shishi to him, I'll have to die. Don't think I don't know what your intention is."

The Lin family has always been dependent on the prince. Now the prince is under house arrest, and the emperor is thinking of deposing him. If the prince is really deposed one day, the Lin family who depends on the prince will probably be in danger. That's why they urgently need another big tree to rely on.

And the wife of Duke Xian had just revealed her intention to marry into the Lin family some time ago, so Lin Shilou was eager to marry Lin Shishi to her so as to gain benefits for himself.

Duke Xian was of noble status, so he could find any kind of noble lady, but why did he insist on marrying into the Lin family? It was because the third son of the Xian family was violent by nature, and he even beat to death countless maids and servants who served in his room.

Originally, this matter was kept under wraps by Duke Xian's Mansion, but the fact that the third son of Duke Xian married three wives within two years and all of them died unexpectedly made people think deeply.

Although there was no substantial evidence, the matter was still widely spread. Therefore, no noble family would be willing to marry their precious daughter to this man to suffer humiliation, as they might even lose their life if they were not careful.

Although the Lin family was of the second rank, they had few descendants. In Lin Shilou's generation, he was the only one serving as an official in the court, so it was indeed a high-ranking marriage for the Lin family to be able to marry into the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

Lin Shilou compared the pros and cons and finally made up his mind: "Mother, the marriage of children is decided by their parents and matchmakers. As Shishi's father, I have the right to decide her marriage. I have decided to discuss the marriage with the Xian family, and no one can stop me."

Having said that, he turned away and walked out, ignoring Mrs. Lin's disappointed look.

When passing by Lin Shishi, he did not forget to order: "Don't go out during this period of time, stay at home and prepare for your wedding."
