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

They looked at Lin Huaian blankly, as if they were trying to confirm with Lin Huaian whether this matter was true or not.

Lin Huaian's face turned red and he didn't dare to say a word.

Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes.

"You heard it right. Yesterday, your Lord Lin was demoted. To be honest, it was all thanks to the Princess of Yan in front of you. She looked well-behaved over the years, but as soon as she came to power, she wiped out her father's future."

Mrs. Lin acted sarcastic and didn't feel she was doing anything wrong.

Little did they know that the faces of these elders had turned ashen and they were almost choking with anger.

Especially Lin Song.

He pointed at Lin Huaian and opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Over the past few decades, the Lin family has been mobilizing the entire family to cultivate scholars. In order to make the children of the family have a bright future, their members have contributed money and effort and have never relaxed.

These years have not been without results.

At least, the Lin family has produced several successful candidates in the past few decades.

In order to be closer to the capital city, where talented people gather and have more resources, members of the Lin family moved here one after another. Even the part that stayed in their hometown of Hanzhou did not neglect to support them.

Lin Huaian is the most promising one in the Lin family.

He first passed the imperial examination in Hanzhou.

Later, with the help of his status as a juren, he was noticed by Shen, a wealthy businessman in Hanzhou. With Shen's support, he came to the capital smoothly, passed the imperial examination, and later caught the eye of the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingyuan. He then worked his way up to his current position.

If it happened to someone else, they would have to spend at least half of the ten years or so working outside as an official to gain experience.

Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about the top and second place scorers in the same period as Lin Huaian.

It has been more than ten years, and now they have just been summoned back to the capital by His Majesty, and are living at the fifth or sixth rank.

In this life, the best they can hope for is a third-rank retirement.

Lin Huaian is different.

He was just one step away.

He was only one step away from becoming the Minister of Rites. He was only one step away from bringing the entire Lin family to a new height.

But now, it’s gone?

Several elders found it hard to accept. They stared at Lin Huaian, hoping that he would give them a reasonable explanation that could convince them.

Obviously, he was the Minister of Rites a few days ago, only one step away from the position of Shangshu.

Obviously, he is still the Taishan of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Why is it falling instead of rising, and almost reaching the bottom?

Lin Huaian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after looking at Mrs. Lin and getting a roll of her eyes, he said nothing.

Is there anything that the elders of the clan don't understand at this moment?

Back then, Lin Huaian got in touch with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and everything went so smoothly. Now, they never expected that Lin Huaian would fall into the hands of his two biological daughters?

Does this count as... success and failure are both due to the Qi family?

After all, the root of all things actually lies in the Qi family, in this Mr. Qi?

at this time.

Shen Guidi was quickly flipping through the records of Lin Huaian's lineage page by page.

Everyone was devastated by Lin Huaian's demotion, and it seemed that they had no idea why they were here.

From the Minister of Rites to the Deputy Minister of Rites.

Such a gap was unbearable not only for Lin Huaian but also for the entire Lin family.

With such a small official standing against the mighty Prince of Yan's Mansion, how could the Lin family dare to say anything?

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the direction of Shen Guidi.

“Ah… what is this?”

He Qingchen didn't even look at what Lin Huaian and the others were thinking about. He immediately looked at Shen Guidi.

She opened her mouth slightly and stared with her eyes wide open, as if she had seen something extraordinary. Her slightly exaggerated expression of surprise, coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, made her look a little clumsy and cute.

He pursed the smile that was about to leak out of his lips, pretended to cooperate and asked: "A'yi, what's the matter?"

Several elders and Lin Huaian ignored Mrs. Lin's sarcasm. They looked at each other and looked at Shen Guidi with the same nervousness.

Shen Guidi glanced at them out of the corner of her eyes, curled her lips slightly, and handed the family tree to He Qingchen.

Just as she was about to speak, Lin Song immediately interrupted her: "Princess..."

She paused.

He Qingchen glanced at Lin Song, took the family tree directly and asked, "Is there a problem with this family tree?"

The hearts of several elders were immediately lifted.

Lin Huaian's face was more dejected than ever before. He stared at He Qingchen and Shen Guidi unwillingly, wondering helplessly if he had no chance of turning things around.

Shen Guidi had a calm expression, and pointed to one of the pages as if to discuss the matter. "Your Highness, please look at the inner page of this family tree. It seems to me that something is wrong. It's like... a new page has been added on top. What do you think?"

He Qingchen suppressed his laughter and looked seriously at the page in the family tree that Shen Guidi pointed to.

It clearly describes the marriage and offspring of Lin Huaian's lineage.

The names and birthdays of Mrs. Lin, her children, and Lin Huaian's illegitimate son were all clearly written on it.

He wasn't interested in knowing this.

He just knew that Shen Guidi deliberately reminded him that the inner pages of the family tree were wrong, and there must be a reason for that. He carefully stroked the things on the paper with his rough hands a few times and confirmed that there was a page on it that was covered by the page in front of him.

He flipped the papers up and down curiously and found that the two pieces of paper were stuck tightly together.

"Master Lin, this is..."

Lin Huaian stammered, his eyes wandering, not daring to look at Shen Guidi, and only said: "Well, that is, when I got married and entered the family tree, I made some mistakes, and it was really difficult to change it. My uncle suggested that I just use a new piece of paper to cover the old one, so..."

"How could there be mistakes in the family tree?" He Qingchen looked at him with a smile.

At this moment.

He seemed to have guessed what his Ah Yi wanted to do.

Or maybe, his Ah Di wanted to do something with the family tree to embarrass the Lin family.

It seems that his Ah Di really hates the Lin family.

"This... How can a person have everything go smoothly without making any mistakes, Your Majesty, isn't that right?" When Lin Huaian said he was wrong, he did not forget to signal Madam Lin to prevent her from ruining his plans.

However, Mrs. Lin is stupid.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Huaian and several elders, then suddenly realized, "Lin Huaian, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that I am wrong, or that this bitch and her mother..."
