After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day
Chapter 40 What could happen at this moment?
The Beizhao Kingdom has strict rules.
In particular, the boundary between legitimate and illegitimate children is very clear.
It was almost unheard of for He Qingchen, a royal heir, to marry a little concubine's daughter.
In addition, the Beizhao Law had extremely strict provisions on the protection of women and the requirements for men. It stipulated that all Beizhao people were not allowed to divorce their wives and remarry, nor were they allowed to favor concubines and kill their wives.
After marriage, only the legitimate wife, legitimate children and illegitimate sons can be included in the family tree, while illegitimate daughters and concubines do not have this qualification.
Lin Huaian has one wife and three concubines.
The legal wife was naturally the second daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, Qi. As for the three concubines, they were Shen, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Hanzhou, Han, his childhood sweetheart and cousin, and Zhao, a dowry sent by Qi to Lin Huaian's bed.
Qi had three sons.
They are the eldest daughter Lin Qingran, the second son Lin Weiran, and the third son Lin Yiran.
Lin Qingran escaped from the marriage.
Lin Weiran is studying at Tianheng Academy.
Lin Yiran was born prematurely after Madam Lin was frightened. He has been weak and sickly since childhood. Because he was still young, he was kept in the backyard all year round and seldom went out. He was always taken care of by a wet nurse and was not close to Lin Huaian and his wife.
The merchant lady Shen had a miserable fate.
She was the first one to enter the Lin Mansion.
Shen Shi had given birth to two children for Lin Huaian. After she became pregnant with her third child, she was so traumatized by the changes in the Shen family that her body became increasingly weak. In the end, she couldn't even protect her children, resulting in two deaths.
After Qi gave birth to Lin Qing, her younger cousin Han failed to get pregnant, so she was taken back and gave birth to Lin Huaian's eldest son.
As for Zhao, she was a tool given by Qi to Lin Huaian in an attempt to divide his favor.
Over the years, she had given birth to children smoothly, but unfortunately, they were two illegitimate daughters who could not even be included in the family tree. Now, she was looking forward to having more children for Lin Huaian, and it would be best if she could give birth to another son.
Of course, this is what outsiders know.
As for the inside...
**
Several elders of Lin Huaian’s clan live in the west of the city.
There were five people in total.
They took two carriages and arrived at the Lin family in Yong'an Lane in the south of the city about an hour later.
He went to ask the Lin family's servant for help, but he didn't dare to say anything to them in detail.
He just followed Lin Huaian's instructions and told them to bring all the seals, documents, family trees and other necessary items related to the preparation and modification of the family tree.
As for what to do and the fact that Lin Huaian was demoted to Yuanwailang, the servant did not dare to mention it.
At this moment, looking at the dilapidated Lin family, everyone's hearts were startled. They glanced around the Lin Mansion, looked at each other tacitly, and suppressed the uneasiness that flashed through their hearts.
Adding or modifying a family tree is no trivial matter.
Either there is a new baby or some unexpected event that requires some changes to be made in the family tree.
Although they were far away in the west of the city during these days, they had not heard that Lin Huaian's wife or any of his concubines were pregnant. Lin Weiran was not yet an adult and had never married or taken concubines, so it was not a celebration of having a baby.
So, what happened?
The Lin family had married off their daughter with great fanfare a few days ago, and the marriage was arranged with the prestigious Prince of Yan's Mansion.
Although the Prince of Yan was in such a state, and Lin Qingran got married in a hurry for the sake of getting married, which was not so pleasant to say, but as the daughter of an assistant minister, she became the princess of the first rank prince.
But it was enough for the Lin family to prosper for many years.
What could possibly happen at this moment?
It can't be that Lin Qingran failed to bring good luck and ended up killing Prince Yan. The Lin family was afraid that His Majesty would blame them, so they simply kicked Lin Qingran out of the family tree? Would the Qi family agree to such a thing?
The elders of the tribe were full of wild thoughts.
When he entered the front yard and saw many guards dressed in the uniforms of Prince Yan's Mansion standing in the yard, he became even more panicked.
They looked at each other, not daring to breathe.
Lin Huaian was on pins and needles in the room. When he saw the elders, he felt relieved and hurried forward to greet them, calling them one by one: "Granduncle, great uncle, you are finally here, come, take a seat."
The person leading the group was the oldest member of the Lin family.
His name is Lin Song.
Lin Song is over 80 years old, but still very energetic.
Over the years, with him in charge of the Lin family, the Lin family has developed steadily. In recent years, many members of the Lin family have moved here from their hometown in Hanzhou and settled in the west of the city.
According to seniority, Lin Huaian had to call him great-uncle.
At this moment, Lin Song was wearing a plain robe, a string of Buddhist beads on his left hand, and a crutch in his right hand. He raised his eyes tremblingly and glanced at Lin Huaian, but his peripheral vision fell on the two people sitting in the room drinking tea.
They were dressed luxuriously, wearing royal attire.
Unexpectedly, he also guessed it.
The man was the famous Prince Yan of Beizhao, He Qingchen.
female……
The hair crown and hair ornaments on her head were from the royal family, and even her clothes were of a style that only a princess could wear.
This woman should be the Princess of Yan.
wrong.
The Princess of Yan is Lin Qingran, the second daughter of the Lin family. Lin Qingran is a woman of some reputation in the capital, and they are relatives. They have all seen her. This woman is clearly not her.
Lin Song raised his eyes, met Lin Huaian's calculating eyes, and frowned.
Seeing Mrs. Lin with a ferocious and fierce face behind him, he had a rough idea in his mind.
He waved to the people beside him, and they slowly took their seats.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Song asked, "Why did you call us here today? Who are these two people in the room?"
His tone was calm, without any disturbance, but his eyes were fierce and gloomy as he stared at Lin Huaian, as if to say, "Try to tell two more lies?"
The others, with faces kissed by wind and frost, were staring straight at Lin Huaian.
Lin Huaian was startled suddenly, and reacted in an instant.
He tried to relax his expression, put on a smile, and introduced them to the others: "This is your Majesty's second son, Prince Yan. The one sitting next to him is... the Princess of Yan."
Everyone was startled at first, then quickly saluted.
Then there was astonishment and confusion: "Princess Yan?"
How could this woman be the Princess of Yan?
They looked at Lin Huaian in a daze, then looked at Shen Guidi, who was sitting on a stool and drinking tea slowly. He looked nothing like Lin Qingran. They were completely confused.
Some time ago, Prince Yan was stabbed and poisoned and fell into a coma. His Majesty issued an imperial decree to grant a marriage, ordering Minister Lin's legitimate daughter to marry Prince Yan to bring him good luck.
The princess should clearly be Miss Lin Qingran, the second daughter of the Lin family who grew up under their care.
But the woman in front of me is clearly not that.
How is this going?
"Zichou, what's going on? Where is Qingran? His Majesty has granted the marriage, and Qingran is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, and the princess of Prince Yan's family is the princess. How could it be this woman?" One of the elders of the clan was straightforward. He realized that something was wrong and asked immediately.
