"Mrs. Lin had an attack tonight, but the midwife we ​​originally hired suddenly developed dysentery and couldn't go. Originally, my brothers and I thought of the Crown Princess's instructions, so we invited a new midwife, but the Lin family said that we were from unknown sources and refused to let the midwife in..."

Xu Xingyin said angrily, "How can we delay this woman's birth? Go find Lin Jinzhong. He can't just ignore his wife's life or death!"

The secret guard replied with cold sweat, "Lin Jinzhong happened to be out of the capital on business, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back now. So I came to report to the Crown Princess, to see if you still need to intervene in this matter?"

"Of course I will! Prepare the horses and go to the Lin family!"

As Xu Xingyin spoke, he stood up and quickly put on his clothes. He said hello to Jing Zhichen who was unwilling to move on the bed and went out.

It was a foreign official's home and something related to the imperial harem, so Jing Zhichen couldn't interfere, but he still sent Aoying to accompany and protect him.

At night, the palace gates were locked, so Xu Xingyin naturally could not leave the palace openly, so he could only be carried out of the palace wall by Ao Ying.

It was cold at night and Xu Xingyin shivered from the cold. The sleepyhead was finally awakened.

Then, I reacted belatedly.

No, Jing Zhichen ran into her bed in the middle of the night, and then she apologized to Jing Zhichen?

This guy is really good at playing the trick of being the first to complain!

Xu Xingyin was annoyed all the way, and Ao Ying was also extremely ashamed of his master's shamelessness, so he had to quickly send the man to the destination to avoid hearing any words he shouldn't hear.

It was dark at night. When Donggong and his party arrived at the Lin family's house, the door was closed and there was no intention of receiving guests.

Xu Xingyin frowned and took a few steps forward, but before he reached the door, he was stopped by a servant with a stern look on his face.

"Who breaks into the Lin residence in the middle of the night?"

The leading servant was holding a stick and looked ferocious.

Aoying took a step forward and waved the East Palace token in front of those people.

"The Crown Princess has arrived, and you dare to block her way?"

The servants sneered at the words and said, "Although we, the lowly people, don't know any royal relatives, we know that the imperial city has been locked. Not to mention the Crown Princess, even the emperor can't get out at this time! Where did this rogue dare to pretend to be the Crown Princess?"

It was indeed against the rules to leave the palace without permission in the middle of the night, so Xu Xingyin was speechless and paused before speaking.

"I heard that my concubine sister was giving birth, so I left the palace to help. Lord Lin is not at home today. If something goes wrong during the madam's delivery, who among you can take the responsibility?"

The servant obviously didn't believe it and sneered.

"Madam, when you give birth, the master and the old lady will make the decision. Our Lin family is not a place where just anybody can come in!"

Xu Xingyin was extremely angry at the servant's attitude, and he turned around and instructed Ao Ying.

"No need to waste time talking, just break the door!"

Aoying received the order and used his internal energy to punch the Lin family's gate.

With a loud bang, the door was blasted with a big hole.

The servants probably didn't expect that they would force their way in. They looked at each other and then picked up sticks to drive them away.

With Aoying's skills, dealing with these servants was like dealing with chickens. He knocked them all to the ground in no time.

At the same time, the Lin family members who heard the noise also rushed out and were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.

The old lady in the lead pointed at the tip of Xu Xingyin's nose and said angrily.

"Where did this little thief come from? How dare you trespass into our Lin Mansion!"

Aoying introduced at the right time, "This is Lin Jinzhong's stepmother, Zhuang. Now her biological son's wife is about to give birth. If there is anyone who doesn't want Mrs. Lin to give birth to a first son, then she would be the first one to bear the brunt."

Xu Xingyin glanced at the other person coldly after hearing this, "I am the Crown Princess and the sister of Madam Lin Xu Wanmian. I came to visit my concubine sister today, but your family repeatedly blocked me. What is your intention?"

Zhuang folded her hands and responded arrogantly, "So what if it's the Crown Princess? This is our Lin family's family affair, it's not your turn to interfere!"

Xu Xingyin was very angry at Zhuang's arrogant attitude and argued in a deep voice.

"Family affairs? After all, Xu Wanmian and I are from the same clan and are sisters, so how can it not be considered my family affairs! Now Xu Wanmian is about to give birth, if something happens, who will explain to Lin Jinzhong when he comes back?!"

Zhuang had been prepared. "Giving birth is a life-threatening experience for a woman. Who can guarantee that it will be safe and smooth? Even if there is a chance, it's just her bad luck. Which of us country women didn't go through the same thing? Why do girls from your Duke's Mansion have to be superior to others?"

The Lin family had long been dissatisfied with the "arrogant" Xu Wanmian. When they heard this, they immediately surrounded him and started cursing him one after another.

"That's right! Usually, it's fine that my loyal wife looks down on us everywhere, but now even the relatives from her mother's family who are not even remotely related to her have come to show off their power. Do they really think that our Lin family is easy to bully?"

"That's right. We spent most of our lives not wanting to eat or wear anything, and that's how we cultivated an official like Jinzhong. Well, now, let alone enjoying life, we have to be looked down upon and considered a disgrace by others every day."

"Yes! To put it bluntly, if our Jinzhong hadn't been an official, would your daughter be willing to marry him? In the final analysis, she is attracted by our Jinzhong's future, but now that he is married, she is making trouble for him. Now that she has a baby, she even invites her sisters from her mother's family to support her. If someone doesn't know, they would think that our Lin family is doing you a disservice!"

Hearing the inexplicable insults and accusations, Xu Xingyin's face gradually became gloomy. He was no longer polite and spoke sarcastically.

"It's really hilarious. Lin Jinzhong studied hard for decades and finally passed the imperial examination. Thinking of his support, he brought you to Beijing to enjoy the good life. But what about you? You are like leeches in the fields, wishing to suck Lin Jinzhong's blood dry!

How many students of the same period as Lin Jinzhong can stay in Beijing to work like him? These are the graces that Xu Wanmian asked for him! And you, enjoying all the benefits that the couple worked hard for, but you are targeting Xu Wanmian everywhere, you are really asking for more!

If you really have some integrity, why not steel yourself and stop being the Lin family members who cling to the rich and powerful as people say, and go back to your hometown to live a ‘clean’ life! ”

"Even if you say anything, I won't let you step through this door today!"

Zhuang's face turned pale and blue after hearing Xu Xingyin's words, but she still stood firmly in front of Xu Xingyin with her hands on her hips and spoke in a sharp voice.

"That sounds nice, but who knows what you really mean? I've heard that when Jinzhong's wife was at her parents' home, she didn't get along with her biological sister. Now that Jinzhong's wife is giving birth, you insist on rushing in. Who knows if you have bad intentions?"

The other members of the Lin family also slowly came to their senses and echoed each other.

"You keep saying 'what if'. Who doesn't hope that we can be loyal to our wives? Isn't that obvious?"

"What Crown Princess? I think she's more like a robber! In our village, if someone breaks into someone else's house at night, he's a robber! He should be arrested and put in jail!"

"That's right, the Crown Princess is so great? She's just a woman in the harem. Our Jinzhong is a top official in the court. If you anger our Lin family, you will suffer!"
