After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

late at night.

In the study of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Huaian was wearing casual clothes, sitting at the desk with a book in his hand.

The cover of the book had turned white and yellow, and the corners were curled up. Even if other methods were used, the corners could not be straightened out.

The pages of the book were densely filled with various words and sentences.

Those words almost covered up most of the content on the main pages of the book, which showed that the book was not only quite old, but the owner also loved it very much, so much so that even after it became like this, the owner was unwilling to throw it away.

However, its owner was very annoyed tonight and had no intention of looking at it.

He held it in his hand, but was reluctant to turn the page. His eyes were blank and he felt a little depressed. He patiently forced himself to read it for a while, but every time he heard some movement outside the door, he would look up.

It was quiet outside the door.

After midnight.

Outside Lin Huaian's study, there was a series of knocks on the door. The sound seemed to be deliberately planned. He first knocked on the door three times with the back of his bent fingers, and then put five fingers together and used the palms to collide.

The two extremely similar knocks on the door were particularly abrupt in the silent night.

When Lin Huaian heard the voice, his body suddenly tensed up.

He put down the book in his hand and casually stuffed it into the pile of folders beside the desk. He checked it carefully again to make sure it would not be discovered. Then he took a deep breath, adjusted his messy clothes, and went to open the door.

Two people, one tall and one short, dressed in black and wearing veiled hats, almost blended into the dark night.

When Lin Huaian saw them, his expression did not change, but his voice became more stable: "You are finally here, please come in."

The two of them said "hmm" lightly and walked into the study.

Lin Huaian clasped his hands on the door, glanced outside cautiously, and signaled his guards to keep a close eye on the study. Only then did he feel relieved and went into the room and closed the door.

The other two people in the room were also here for the first time.

After they entered the room, they did not take off their hats, but glanced at the study, looked at each other, then looked away, and then their eyes fell on a bookshelf in Lin Huaian's study.

Lin Huaian followed their line of sight, rubbed his hands a little nervously, and called out carefully: "Master Wang... Brother Qi, please sit down first, and let's sit down and talk."

The shorter man glanced at him indifferently: "No need, let's talk business."

Lin Huaian paused, a look of displeasure flashed across his mind, but at the moment he was in a low position and his words had no influence, so it was not his turn to make a scene.

The taller man took one look at Lin Huaian and knew what he was thinking.

He sneered, turned his eyes away and said to the man in a deliberately intimate tone: "Let's sit down first. We need to think about today's matter carefully. Your uncle is also upset right now."

The 'uncle' he was referring to was naturally Lin Huaian.

The taller person is naturally Lin Huaian’s elder brother-in-law, Qi Heng, Marquis of Dingyuan.

As for the slightly shorter one, he is the fourth son of Emperor Zhaoyuan, Prince Huai He Chengqi.

He Chengqi is the son of Concubine Hui, and is the nephew of Qi Heng and Madam Lin. He is only sixteen years old this year. Although he has left the palace to build his own residence and has been granted the title of king and participated in government affairs, because he is still young, Emperor Zhaoyuan and Concubine Hui are not in a hurry to choose a concubine for him.

According to their original plan, they were going to push Lin Huaian to the position after the former Minister of Rites retired.

At that time, Prince Huai would ask Emperor Zhaoyuan for permission to marry Lin Huaian's legitimate daughter as his concubine, thus completely tying the Qi family, the Lin family and Prince Huai's Palace together.

In terms of age and relationship, King Huai should naturally be more comparable.

Unfortunately, He Qingchen became a variable.

Now that Lin Qingran has escaped, we can put the issue aside for now. According to what Lin Huaian and Qi Heng had discussed last night, since a concubine's daughter has entered Prince Yan's Mansion and Prince Yan is still alive, they will persuade the concubine's daughter to be a thorn in Prince Yan's Mansion.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion has been impenetrable over the years, and they are worried that they have no way to reach their hands into the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

This was also what Lin Huaian had hinted to Shen Guidi when she got married.

Shen Guidi's appearance is like her mother's.

She is truly a stunning beauty.

When he brought the person back last year, he had thought about presenting Shen Guidi to Emperor Zhaoyuan, or sending her to Prince Huai's Palace, but Lin Qingran stopped this.

Now that he has married into the palace, he also hopes that Shen Guidi can capture He Qingchen.

Until then, all is well with you all.

Little did they know that everything seemed similar to what they expected and anticipated, but the results were completely different.

It's only the first day of our marriage and yet so many things have happened.

It seems that Shen Guidi has most likely already taken control of Prince Yan's Mansion, but her intentions may not be on their side, otherwise, how could she have caused such a stir regarding the dowry and those restaurants and villas?

Or maybe, He Qingchen was simply using Shen Guidi as a weapon to stop them from using Shen Guidi?

He Chengqi was silent for a moment, but still sat down obediently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Lin Qingran: "Uncle, have you found your cousin now?"

Lin Huaian didn't expect that He Chengqi would ask this first.

He was stunned for a moment, then said with embarrassment, "Not yet. I have already sent more people to investigate. I believe there will be news in the next two days."

He Chengqi raised his eyebrows: "Really? What about my aunt?"

Lin Huaian and Qi Heng were both stunned, as if they didn't understand what He Chengqi meant.

He Chengqi simply explained the matter more clearly: "What I mean is that my cousin is a delicate little girl who ran away from her marriage and has not returned. The Lin family and even the Qi family have been unable to find her in the past two days. Have you ever thought about how she, a little girl, is doing outside?"

Could it be that someone hid her?

He didn't say the rest of the sentence.

But the other two people present looked at each other and immediately understood.

After figuring this out and knowing who it was, Lin Huaian became furious.

He suddenly felt his heart aching.

Although he knew that Qi doted on Lin Qingran too much, he didn't know that she dared to condone Lin Qingran's escape from the marriage and even hid her. Afterwards, she secretly proposed to him that Shen Guidi marry in her place.

It's better now.

Shen Guidi was married off, but she still didn't forget to cause some trouble and even withheld the dowry, so that in the end he and Qi Heng had to cede land and pay compensation before they could appease He Qingchen a little.

So she was the one behind all this?

Who gave her the courage to openly disobey the emperor's order and help Lin Qingran escape from marriage?
