"So, the Zhao family simply blocked the bride's arrival outside the door, and did not send anyone to the Lin family to complain. They just let the matter go on and let the whole capital city laugh at them?"

Principal Lin completed the unfinished words for him.

His voice was cold, and his words only suggested that Zhao Hongqin's explanation was ridiculous, even absurd.

Zhao Hongqin's face instantly froze when he was interrupted.

He pursed his lips and explained, "Uncle Lin, you misunderstood. This matter, in fact, sounds very absurd and strange to me. I have been an official for many years and have seen many, if not thousands, of people, but I have never heard such a ridiculous statement.

But right now, my eldest brother did go out of town and go to the temple last night, and he did ask about his marriage with Miss Lin, and he even fell and injured himself on the way back.

Even though I don't want to believe it, the facts are right in front of me.

Our Zhao family did not intend to embarrass the Lin family. The truth is that our eldest brother just came back early this morning and was in a coma. We called in several doctors before we finally woke him up. That's when we learned all this.

I have been so busy this morning that I really can't take care of anything else.

Thinking about the wedding banquet, I could only hand it over to the housekeeper in the mansion and asked him to arrange someone to go to the Lin family quickly. However, something went wrong and the servant who delivered the message has been arrested.

However, now that things have come to this, this matter can only be temporary..."

Zhao Hongjun looked embarrassed and as if he had no face to speak.

Lin Xiao had a stern face and stared at him solemnly.

For a long time.

He then asked quietly, "Then according to what Lord Zhao meant, my Lin family should just pretend that nothing happened today, return all the dowry, and wait for the so-called ripe time in the mansion?"

"That's about it. I asked my elder brother, and he said that the master didn't mention when the opportunity would come, and just told us to wait."

"I remember that when we got engaged, Madam Qi specially thought of a way to ask the Imperial Observatory to compare the horoscopes of Mr. Zhao and my niece. After confirming it again and again, they chose today as the day for the wedding.

So, it was Madam Qi who invited the Imperial Observatory, but her skills were not good enough?"

"This……"

"Or is it that the master that Mr. Zhao invited is more capable? That's not impossible, but I didn't know that there is such a powerful master in the capital? What's the master's name? Which temple is he in?"

Zhao Hongqin was speechless when asked.

This improvised excuse couldn't even convince himself, but he couldn't think of a better way at the moment.

He didn't expect that the people arranged by the Lin family would directly sabotage his plan.

Ask him which master he is?

Who the hell knows which master it is?

How could one dare to say that any master from outside could predict people's fortunes without going through the Imperial Observatory?

Isn't this a slap in the face of the royal family?

Seeing this, Principal Lin snorted coldly and said slowly, "Master Zhao also knows that my Lin family has been in trouble recently. I hope you can be more generous and tell us which master it is. Then we can go and ask the master for help."

Zhao Hongqin: “…”

He gritted his teeth secretly and could only continue to make up a story: "This... It's not that I don't want to say it, but the master said that he would go out to travel today. My eldest brother was able to find him before he left. It was really fate. That's why... By now, he must have already gone on a journey."

Zhao Hongqin originally thought that if he had any sense, he would stop talking here and not ask any more questions.

However, Principal Lin didn't take his predicament seriously at all, and asked with a smile: "Is that so? It's normal for the master to travel. But what is the master's name? Since he is so powerful, it's reasonable for us to spend some time to find him. Who knows, he can lead the Lin family out of the predicament, Lord Zhao, don't you think this makes sense?"

Zhao Hongqin: "...Yes, he is a master in Jing'an Temple, his Buddhist name is Liaochen."

Seeing that the other party was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Zhao Hongqin gritted his teeth and could only make up one.

It just so happened that among the masters he knew who were famous outside, there was such a person, so he immediately used the person's name.

He also knew that Principal Lin would not really verify it.

I was just so angry that I wanted them to say something specific.

Principal Lin snorted slowly, and said as if he understood, "It was him? Then I know. I should listen to his advice. However, it is one thing for me to accept his opinion, but does Lord Zhao intend to say it to others in the same way?"

This reason is fine to be used to appease the Lin family.

Once this gets out, won't everyone laugh out loud?

What's more, using such a ridiculous reason to intercept the wedding banquet and dowry, and making such a thing happen when the bride is about to get married, I'm afraid no one will believe it, let alone understand that this matter was caused by Zhao Hongjun.

They would only say that the Zhao family saw that the Lin family was in decline and therefore they disliked Miss Lin.

Not getting married for the time being is just a reason to appease the Lin family.

The time has come. I'm afraid that what Miss Lin is waiting for is not the bridal sedan chair for her wedding, but a letter of withdrawal of engagement?

No matter what Principal Lin thinks or says, this is the only reason Zhao Hongqin can think of for now.

Right now, the Zhao family was in a mess, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with the Lin family. He thought for a moment and simply said, "Uncle Lin, you see, it's only a matter of time before our Zhao and Lin families get married.

The marriage between my eldest brother and the girl from the Lin family was also chosen by my aunt.

Now that Master Lechen also said that theirs was a marriage predestined by heaven, it didn’t matter if it happened earlier or later.

Right now, because of my eldest brother's injury, the wedding banquet that was supposed to start cannot begin. I'm afraid there will be a lot of guests gathered outside. I'm still busy here, so why don't you take care of it?

After all, we are one family, so let’s not have different opinions.

Do you think there is any other more reasonable reason to postpone this marriage for the time being? We will definitely cooperate."

Principal Lin glanced at him, somewhat surprised by his honesty and confidence.

Such a big matter is left to an outsider like him to handle?

Isn't he afraid that he will only focus on protecting Lin Churan and the Lin family's reputation and directly destroy the Zhao family's reputation?

Of course, that's what I think.

But when Principal Lin came, he was already thinking about this matter, what the worst outcome would be, and what to do if he encountered the worst situation.

Now, Zhao Hongqin has handed the initiative to him.

Then he had no reason to hesitate.

He nodded immediately and said to Zhao Hongqin: "In that case, I will think of a suitable reason and take the dowry back later. I will also explain it clearly to everyone. I just don't know how far the Zhao family can go."
