"Thank you for your concern, Steward Wang. I'm fine. I'm just pregnant and had a bumpy ride, so I look a little pale, but it's nothing serious."

Steward Wang pretended to be relieved. "It's good that Miss San is fine. This makes me feel relieved. The masters didn't expect Miss San to come today. You are right to come today. How can the Third Master's big day be without your blessing? The masters will be very happy to see Miss San come to congratulate you. Miss San, please come in."

Lin Qingrou looked at the smiling face of Butler Wang and really wanted to slap him.

He really brought up things that were not relevant to the topic, and every word he said hit Lin Qingrou right in the heart.

Others may not know about the grudge between Fang Yueqing and her mother, but how could the people in the Marquis' Mansion not know about it?

Butler Wang's words seemed to be welcoming her, but in fact they were mocking her and waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

But his words didn't sound strange to people who didn't know the situation, but if she had any extreme reaction, it would make people feel that there was a problem.

In front of Xiao Jingyi, Lin Qingrou naturally didn't dare to do anything out of line, so she had to follow him in obediently.

Looking at Lin Qingrou's reluctant back, Butler Wang couldn't help but smile.

He had already given her a lot of face just now, and even called her "Third Miss" instead of "Aunt Lin".

If he wasn't worried that Lin Qingrou would bring shame to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, he wouldn't have held back.

As soon as the three entered the room, they saw Lin Yanming accepting everyone's congratulations at the door of the main hall. It was obvious that he was in high spirits today and was smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

After all, Lin Yanming was not young anymore, so he did not go to pick up the bride in person, but stayed in the marquis's mansion to greet the guests.

When Lin Qingrou saw her father's happy look, she felt that everything her mother had done for him was in vain.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi and Tang Yingqian quickly stepped forward and joined the congratulations.

Lin Yanming hurriedly bowed, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Kang and Princess Kang."

Xiao Jingyi smiled and gave him a hand, "Today the Third Master is very happy, no need to be polite."

Although Lin Qingrou married him, she was only a concubine after all. It seemed inappropriate for Xiao Jingyi to call Lin Yanming by any name, so he had to keep everything as before.

The two were chatting happily and no one paid attention to Lin Qingrou behind them.

But how could Tang Yingqian, who was listening silently on the side, let Lin Qingrou sit idle? She pulled Lin Qingrou behind her and pushed her in front of Lin Yanming.

Tang Yingqian smiled and said, "Uncle, Sister Lin is here to congratulate you today, are you very happy?"

Lin Qingrou was suddenly pushed to the front, without any preparation, and was caught off guard and looked into the eyes of her father at close range.

The father and daughter looked at each other, both felt that the other was unlucky, and immediately looked away.

Tang Yingqian knew that she would be unhappy about Lin Yanming marrying Lin Qingrou, but she didn't expect that it seemed that Lin Yanming also disliked Lin Qingrou. This really made Tang Yingqian curious.

In the past, she had a good relationship with Lin Qingrou and had come to the Marquis' Mansion several times.

Although the relationship between them as father and daughter cannot be said to be very close, at least the father is kind and the daughter is filial, and they seem to be very harmonious.

Now it seems like they have become enemies and look down on each other.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said to Lin Qingrou: "Rou'er, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and say hello to your father. It's not easy for you to come to the ceremony today, why don't you say a few words of blessing."

Lin Qingrou glared at Tang Yingqian when she heard that. If it weren’t for the good things Tang Yingqian did, there’s no way she would have come here.

Ever since the two of them parted unhappily before she left the Marquis' Mansion that day, Lin Qingrou just pretended that she didn't have this father. She didn't even look at him straight in the eye the last time she came back.

Faced with such a treacherous father, Lin Qingrou couldn't say a single nice word, let alone offer a blessing.

Lin Yanming knew very well that his daughter would never say words of blessing to him and Qing'er, and he was unwilling to force it. After all, a forced melon is not sweet.

"Rou'er, if you don't want to, don't force it. If you are so reluctant, even if you say blessings, it won't make people happy."

Lin Qingrou was relieved when she heard that, but Tang Yingqian certainly wouldn't let her get away so easily.

"Uncle, you are wrong. I am so happy to know that I can attend your wedding today. I have prepared a lot of blessings for you. Sister, you have prepared a lot of words, why can't you say them when you see uncle? I know you are a little excited, but calm down a little. Uncle is still waiting to hear your blessings."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingrou glared at Tang Yingqian again. She was putting herself in this position.

She was showing her "filial piety" in front of so many people. If she couldn't explain the reason today, she would be embarrassed.

Tang Yingqian threatened in a low voice: "Mrs. Lin, I advise you to be obedient. I have already said this. If you insist on not cooperating, not only will your father lose face, but you will also slap me and the prince in the face in public. You know the prince's temper. In his heart, face is more important than anything else. If you make him lose face, how do you think he will deal with you?"

Tang Yingqian's words really worked. When she said this, Lin Qingrou couldn't help but think of what had just happened at the door.

Although Xiao Jingyi seems to be easy to talk to on a daily basis, he can do anything if his bottom line is touched.

Lin Qingrou unconsciously protected her belly with her hands. Even for the sake of the child, she had to compromise.

Tang Yingqian saw Lin Qingrou's action and knew that she was scared, so she chuckled.

Lin Qingrou closed her eyes and said reluctantly, "Princess, you are right. Today is my father's big day. As his daughter, I naturally have to come and congratulate him. I wish my father and his new wife a loving and harmonious marriage."

This was already Lin Qingrou's limit. She racked her brains to come up with these two words.

Lin Yanming didn't know the inside story, but when he heard these words of blessing from his daughter, he felt a little touched.

After all, Lin Qingrou is his daughter. Even if Lin Yanming is dissatisfied with her actions, he still has some concerns in his heart.

Although his daughter's tone was a little cold just now, she did say words of blessing for him and Qing'er. Lin Yanming's heart was inevitably touched, and his tone softened a little.

"Rou'er, thank you for your blessing. Dad thought you would never forgive me. It seems that being a mother soon is different. Your thoughts are more mature than before. Dad's daughter has grown up. Thank you, Princess, for taking care of Rou'er. As a father, I am very pleased to see that you two get along so well. Rou'er sometimes has a childish mentality. Please bear with me in the future."
