forecourt.

In the main hall.

Lin Huaian and Madam Lin have been feeling uneasy ever since they were invited into the palace.

They originally thought that it would not be so easy to enter Prince Yan's Mansion, but unexpectedly, the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion did not stop them at all. Instead, they kindly invited them to sit in the main hall and drink tea.

Even Wang Huan, the palace's steward, was here with them.

This not only did not make the huge stone in their hearts fall away, but made it even heavier.

Waited for a while.

No one came.

Mrs. Lin lowered her head silently and sat there without saying a word. However, Lin Huaian was not so good-tempered. His face was gloomy and he secretly blamed Shen Guicui for not treating him as a father. Even now, he still wanted to show off his dignity as a father.

Wang Huan stood by the door, looking at him calmly with a faint smile on his face.

That smile, however, did not reach his eyes at all.

Lin Huaian was getting impatient and turned his head and stretched his neck to look outside the door. There was no movement outside the yard. He put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and the cup hit the table, making a crisp sound.

Wang Huan couldn't help but look over, and his eyes met Lin Huaian's.

"What's wrong, sir? But the tea doesn't suit your taste? That shouldn't be the case. It was bestowed by His Majesty, the finest Qingfengsui, which the princess always loves to drink. I originally thought that the princess' taste must be something that Lord Lin's family is used to, so I made the tea and sent it to you. Are Lord Lin and Madam not used to it?"

Lin Huaian hadn't opened his mouth yet, but his face lengthened when he heard Wang Huan's sarcastic tone.

He glared at Wang Huan fiercely.

I feel unhappy.

What does Prince Yan’s Mansion do?

Even a servant dared to be sarcastic and bullying, and did not take him and his wife seriously at all.

Even if we don't talk about other things, at least, in name only, they are the parents of Princess Yan and the parents-in-law of Prince Yan. Giving them a hard time and bullying them, how could that be disrespecting him and his wife?

This is clearly a disrespect to Prince Yan and Princess Yan?

Is this the upbringing in Prince Yan’s Mansion?

Really vulgar, ignorant and uneducated!

Lin Huaian thought so, but seeing that this was the territory of Prince Yan's Mansion, he did not dare to care too much. He just secretly thought that he would have a good talk with the rebellious girl later.

"What is the prince busy with? Has the person who went to report not returned yet?" He answered irrelevant questions and only focused on what he wanted to know.

Wang Huan didn't say anything, just smiled softly: "Of course I have already gone. However, Your Excellency also knows that the prince and the princess are probably still having dinner at this moment, so you have to wait here for a while."

Lin Huaian: “…”

Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise in the yard. He Qingchen put his arm around Shen Guidi's waist and walked in slowly.

Lin Huaian and his wife held their breath and stood up to salute.

The two of them walked slowly without looking at each other, sat down in the main seat, and then said calmly: "Master Lin, Madam Lin, there is no need to be polite. What do you want to see the king and the princess for?"

He Qingchen sat upright and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

Lin Huaian had a sullen face and was not in a hurry to speak. However, Mrs. Lin beside him hurriedly took a small box from her nanny and placed it on the table next to He Qingchen.

He Qingchen glanced and waited for Mrs. Lin's next words.

Seeing that He Qingchen did not refuse, Madam Lin felt more confident and quickly pleaded, "My Lord, I have brought everything you want. Please release Wei Ran. He is still young and in the prime of his studies. The autumn examination will be soon. If he can't come out..."

Lin Huaian tugged at her hand and gave her a wink.

It was not what he had originally expected.

He originally planned to have a good talk with King Yan first. After all, although the Lin family is not in a good situation now, the necessary relationships are still there.

Prince Yan is different from other princes.

They have been in the capital for many years and have deep roots. They also have countless complicated in-law relationships, and with the fanning of the flames by the concubines in the harem, all kinds of pillow talk are flying around Emperor Zhaoyuan.

The King of Yan did not.

He was exiled from the capital many years ago and had no connections in the capital, let alone a wife, concubines or relatives by marriage. The worst thing was that his biological mother and maternal grandfather only had his royal brother in their hearts.

If he wanted to do something, he had to go through his royal brother.

It's different now.

He has a relationship with the Lin family.

Lin Huaian's roots in the court over the years have not been entirely useless.

He originally thought that they would talk about it first, and if it didn't work, he would use the shop as a test, raising the stakes layer by layer. The Prince of Yan's Mansion wanted the shop in Chunliu Lane, and they wanted Lin Weiran's safety and freedom.

This is a fair deal.

However, his wife came up and took out all the chips at once.

This time, Lin Huaian couldn’t do anything.

He Qingchen watched their actions coldly without saying a word. Instead, Shen Guidi, who was sitting on the other side, reached out, took the box, opened it and flipped through it carefully.

Inside, there were indeed several shops in Chunliu Lane.

only……

She threw the things back into the box coldly and pushed the box away. He Qingchen glanced at her and immediately understood that his Ah Di was not satisfied.

In fact, he was not satisfied either.

The two people in front of him ignored his Ah Di the whole time. They wanted to get rid of Ah Di with just such a small amount of money. The abacus beads were clacking too loudly.

"Ah Yi, what do you say?"

"It seems that Lord Lin and Madam Lin are not sincere. Well, I don't want the shop in Chunliu Lane. Lord Lin has many beloved sons. I think he doesn't care whether this one is good or bad."

Shen Guidi looked at Mrs. Lin with a meaningful smile.

However, there was some ill intention in that smile, which made people feel scared for no reason, especially when she said "many sons", which made Mrs. Lin subconsciously think of the concubine she kept outside.

After all, Lin Huaian doesn't have many sons.

Including the sickly illegitimate son, Lin Huaian only had three sons, two of whom were born to Madam Lin. Not to mention the youngest son who was too young, the eldest son, Lin Weiran, carried all her hopes.

Mrs. Lin would never watch Lin Weiran get into trouble.

Hearing the voice, she glared at Lin Huaian fiercely and met Shen Guidi's half-smile.

She had just seen it.

Prince Yan obviously indulges this bitch, which means that if she wants to save Wei Ran, she has to beg this little bitch.

When Mrs. Lin thought about asking her, she felt as if she had swallowed a fly in her throat.

But no matter how painful it is, you still have to ask for help.

To this end, she gently touched Lin Huaian, signaling him to speak quickly.

Lin Huaian pursed his lips tightly and said nothing else, only asking: "From what the princess said, are you still not satisfied with those shops? That was the condition proposed by the princess herself. I have now sent the deeds over. What else is the princess dissatisfied with?"
