The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Bai had an imperial decree, so according to etiquette she didn't need to perform grand ceremony to Madam Lin. However, to show her respect and sincerity, she still greeted Madam Lin according to the etiquette of the younger generation.

Old Madam Lin was kind and had a good smile. She had a very good impression of the Bai family, so even if she had never met Han Jiuxiao, she knew that the children raised by such a family would be good.

"Mrs. Han, you are too polite. Please get up and sit down."

Bai sat down and said to Madam Lin: "I am sorry to bother you by coming here today."

Lin Shishi had already informed Old Madam Lin about the Han family's affairs in advance, so she naturally knew why Bai came today.

"Madam, that's not the case. I am already very pleased that your Han family came to visit me right after returning to Beijing."

Then she said to Nanny Chen who was standing beside her, "Call the second young lady over and give Madam Han a cup of tea."

Bai was delighted, it seemed that Madam Lin had passed this test.

Generally, when the man's family comes to propose marriage, the woman's family will let their daughter look at each other behind a screen. If the woman agrees, they will let their daughter pour a cup of tea for the man's family. After the man drinks the tea, it means that the two of them are preliminarily settled.

After a while, Lin Shishi walked out from behind a huanghuali carved screen. Today she was wearing a dignified smoky purple dress and a white jade butterfly hairpin on her head, which was simple and elegant.

She walked forward slowly and bowed to Bai, her whole appearance graceful and elegant.

When she looked into Bai's eyes, her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, which made people feel more favorable towards her. Unlike Meng, who had a fawning and obsequious look on her face when she saw Bai, which made people look down on her.

She spoke as sweetly as an oriole: "Shishi greets the Madam."

Mrs. Bai looked at her future daughter-in-law with satisfaction. She was very satisfied. It seemed that her boy had good taste and she couldn't help but praise him.

"Miss Lin is truly a beautiful lady with a fairy-like appearance and a graceful figure."

When Mrs. Lin heard Mrs. Bai's praise, she smiled even more: "It's not as good as you said, Madam. It's just that it looks more neat."

Then he turned to Lin Shishi and said, "The tea is a little cold. Don't neglect our honored guest. Go and add some hot water."

"Yes, grandmother."

Lin Shishi agreed repeatedly. She knew that there were some things that Mrs. Lin was not convenient to say in front of her, so she deliberately sent her away.

After Lin Shishi left, Old Madam Lin hesitated for a moment and never spoke.

Bai looked at Old Madam Lin, who was hesitant to speak, and said, "If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak."

Madam Lin seemed to have made up her mind and sighed, "Madam Han, I know why you came here this time. You must be aware of the situation in my house. Shishi's biological mother passed away early, and her father...

So she was raised by me all along. Of course, I hope she can marry into a good family, but I am only her grandmother after all. I cannot decide her marriage alone. It still depends on her father."

Bai understood what Old Madam Lin meant. She loved her granddaughter and couldn't bear to see Lin Shishi marry into the hell of Xianguogong Mansion, so she intended to marry into the Han family.

But the decision on children's marriage still lies with the parents. If Lin Shilou nodded, she would naturally be happy to do so. Not to mention Lin Shishi, Old Madam Lin would naturally ask about it in advance.

In fact, during the time that Lin Shishi had been in contact with Han Jiuxiao, she had already developed feelings for him, but due to her shyness as a girl, she did not say it out loud.

And Mrs. Bai's next words gave Madam Lin a reassurance.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin. I came here just to test your opinion. After all, the Second Miss was raised by you. With your approval, leave the rest to our Han family."

……

"Mother, cousin, what are we doing here?"

Han Jiuxiao rubbed his sleepy eyes. He didn't know why Bai and Mu Yan woke him up from bed so early in the morning and brought him to the restaurant without saying anything.

Mu Yan's lips curled slightly: "Of course I come to the restaurant to have breakfast, are you here to have a quick meal?"

Han Jiuxiao frowned and said, "I won't have breakfast. I have to hurry back to the barracks. If I'm late, I will definitely be scolded by my grandfather."

Then he stood up and wanted to go out.

Mu Yan was not in a hurry. She took a sip of tea and said quietly, "Okay, then you can go back to the barracks now. We will not be responsible for your marriage."

What? ! ! What daughter-in-law!

Speaking of this, Han Jiuxiao sobered up and pulled back his legs. He asked hurriedly, "What's the matter? What does it have to do with Miss Lin Er?"

Mu Yan looked at his anxious expression and deliberately kept him in suspense. She coughed lightly and said, "I only said I would find you a wife. When did I ever say it had anything to do with Miss Lin Er?"

Han Jiuxiao surrendered immediately, "My dear cousin, my best cousin in the world, please tell me, tell me quickly."

Bai looked at Han Jiuxiao's worthless appearance and said with a smile: "Okay Yan'er, stop making fun of this fool."

Han Jiuxiao was anxious: "Mom, what's going on?"

Bai patted his shoulder and said, "Sit down first. You'll know soon. The show is about to begin."

In order to see the scene clearly, they had already reserved a seat on the second floor near the fence so that they could see clearly what was happening outside.

The road directly opposite their downstairs was also the only way for every official to go to and from court.

As soon as the palace bell rang, within half a cup of tea, the officials who were leaving the court came out one after another.

When the Northern Qi Dynasty went to court, civil officials rode in sedan chairs and military officials rode on horses.

Han Jiuxiao looked at a blue sedan chair outside the window and said, "Isn't that the sedan chair of Lin Shilou, the president of the Hanlin Academy?"

Mu Yan gave him a shushing gesture, "Don't talk, just watch carefully."

The next second, a very luxurious carriage came and intercepted Lin Shilou's sedan chair.

A well-dressed young man from a wealthy family walked out of the carriage, holding a stunning beauty in his arms. The woman had a frivolous attitude and it was obvious at first glance that she was not the daughter of a respectable family.

The two of them hugged each other in public, and the scene was disgusting.

When Lin Shilou's followers saw someone blocking the sedan chair, they shouted, "How dare you! This is the sedan chair of Mr. Lin, the head of the Hanlin Academy. Who dares to block it?"

The servant next to the rich man took advantage of his power and said, "My son is the third young master of the Duke of Xian's mansion. He wants to discuss matters with Lord Lin. Please get out of the sedan chair."

When the person in the sedan heard that it was Xian Yuqing, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop the attendant beside him, and then walked out of the sedan.

When he saw the woman in Xian Yuqing's arms, his face sank and he said in a bad tone, "So it's the Third Young Master Xian. I wonder if you have something to discuss with me?"

At this time, the officials who were leaving the court also noticed the movement here and stopped to take a look.
