The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"I can ignore other people, but I can't watch Madam Lin go into exile at such an age."

Mo Yuche's lips curved up as he said slowly, "According to the Northern Qi law, people over the age of sixty can be exempted from exile unless they have committed a serious crime such as treason or rebellion."

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, then her heart was relieved instantly. As the saying goes, worrying too much will lead to confusion. She actually forgot such an important thing.

Mo Yuche looked at the half-dazed look of the woman in front of him, the smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows deepened, and his pair of ink-black eyes flashed with a hint of doting.

The woman in the window seemed to sense the gaze and also looked towards the tree, but it was too dark at night and she could only see the man's slender figure but not the smile on his face.

When the man saw the woman looking up, his heart suddenly panicked. He stood up quickly and said in a low and pleasant voice: "It's getting late. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared into the darkness.

Mu Yan looked at the fleeing figure and murmured in her heart, why did he leave just like that? It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Han has a fickle personality, and this is really true.

Immediately she closed the window, keeping the late autumn chill out.

Soon, the contents of the account book were investigated thoroughly and confirmed to be true.

All the officials involved in accepting benefits in the account books were punished. Not only that, even those who bought official positions were removed from their posts when they were found out.

Lin Shilou, as the leader of the group that helped the prince buy and sell officials, was naturally sentenced to the heaviest punishment. He was ordered to be beheaded in public, and the Lin family's property was also confiscated. Meng and all the Lin family members were sentenced to exile.

Han Zhen specifically reported the marriage between the Han family and the Lin family to the emperor. Since the two families had arranged the marriage before Lin Shilou was convicted, the Emperor Qi did not think much about it.

Considering the Han family's military achievements, he did a favor and not only promised in person that Lin Shishi would not be implicated in the Lin family's affairs, he also extended the time for Lin Shilou's execution.

Otherwise, once Lin Shilou was executed, the marriage of Han Jiuxiao and Lin Shishi would be postponed for three years.

All things begin in spring and are completed in autumn. Autumn is the prelude to destruction and construction.

"Miss, you got up very early today."

Early in the morning, Ying came in carrying a copper basin.

Mu Yan chuckled and said, "Today is Shishi's housewarming celebration, so of course I have to get up early."

The Lin family's property was ransacked, and the house was naturally confiscated, so Lin Shishi took Madam Mu and some loyal servants to set up a new household.

Although the property of the Lin Mansion was confiscated, the official in charge of the raid on the Lin Mansion was Han Yunnan's close friend, so they did not touch Old Madam Lin's personal belongings or the dowry prepared by the Lin family for Lin Shishi, so they did not have to worry about money for the time being.

Of course, the emperor's instructions were also involved. Otherwise, even if one had the courage of a god, he would not dare to disobey the imperial edict.

Originally, Lin Shishi felt that she could not support this family, but after Mu Yan's persuasion, she became more courageous and decisive than before.

Today, Mu Yan was still wearing a red long skirt with chrysanthemums embroidered on the hem and a fox fur half-coat on top, which was warm and elegant. She looked up at the mahogany lacquered gold plaque with the words "Lin's House" written on it.

When the doorman saw Mu Yan, he welcomed her in very warmly and familiarly. Mu Yan found that the man looked quite familiar and thought that he must be the old man brought out from the Lin family.

Old Madam Lin was kind-hearted, so before the Lin family was ransacked, in order to prevent these innocent servants from being implicated, she tore up the indentures overnight, so that they were not implicated.

Some loyal servants, grateful for the old lady's kindness, followed her when they learned that the second young lady had set up her own household.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I saw Lin Shishi greet me with a smile on her face: "Yan'er, thank you for helping me find such a good house, and the price is so favorable."

Mu Yan joked, "We are good sisters, and you will soon become my sister-in-law. We are all family, so why are you being polite?"

When talking about Han Jiuxiao, Lin Shishi's face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. I sincerely thank you and you still tease me."

Mu Yan looked around and his eyes lit up: "You have arranged this house very well. It's worth my effort to help you find this place."

Although the Lin residence today is not as big as the previous Lin Mansion, it is exquisite and elegant. Unlike when the Meng family was in charge, the Lin Mansion was full of cheap luxury.

The most important thing is that this house is connected to the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. When Lin Shishi gets married there, she can come to visit the old lady from time to time.

Even Mrs. Bai said that after Shishi got married, she would open a small door between the two walls, so that the two families could visit each other often, just like one family.

This is a great thing for Shishi. Now that the Lin family is in decline, what she worries most is that she will not be able to take care of Old Madam Lin after she gets married. Now with Bai's approval, she can also take care of her grandmother every day.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Shishi's face. Although the Lin Mansion was ransacked, that home was not a home to her at all. It was just a place where she lived. Her father had always treated her coldly, and Meng Shi suppressed her all the time. She lived in fear.

Now that he had set up his own house, although the housekeeping work was a bit more stressful, he could make decisions on the affairs of the house himself and didn't have to live under the thumb of others as before.

"Since you like me, come and stay with me for a few days. It's a pity that Bingjie hasn't come back yet, otherwise the three of us sisters could have a good reunion today."
