Lin Wan looked at the two people in front of her calmly, and saw that their expressions were getting more and more nervous. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. Was she happy? But she had endured all the grievances and misunderstandings in the past. Now when she recalled those uncomfortable times, it seemed that she had let them go. Seeing her mother and brother begging her now because of her past neglect and favoritism, she felt nothing but surprise.

"What does father say about this matter?"

After a while, Lin Wan finally asked.

"The master said that this marriage would be good for Heng'er, so..."

Wang spoke with hesitation.

Lin Zhigao's original words were: Lin Heng is so old, but he is still just a student. We don't know how long we have to wait for him to suddenly wake up and take the imperial examination to become an official. After all, the Wang family has real power and ability in the court. If it weren't for Miss Wang's health, you wouldn't be able to get her to marry you even if you beg her.

Wang lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

She knew that Lin Heng was not good at studying, could not stand loneliness and loved to play. It would be a death sentence for him to stay in the study room all day to study for exams.

But no matter how bad it is, this is still her son!

Lin Wan looked at Wang's troubled and aggrieved expression, frowned, and could not say any words of comfort.

Then he looked at Lin Heng who was standing beside him with a depressed look on his face, "What about you? How did you get to meet Lord Wang?"

Lin Heng's face was gloomy. "My eldest brother-in-law took me there. He didn't say that Lord Wang wanted to see me. He just said he was taking me to meet some friends and have a drink. Who knew he was going to sell me out?"

"You are stupid! Your brother-in-law is dating people who are from the same class as him. You don't even have a degree, so why are you trying to join in the fun?"

Wang wiped her tears and cried and cursed.

"If I'm stupid, aren't you stupid too? We are sincere to them, but what about them? They only think about themselves. They say they are doing this for my own good, but in fact their purpose is to sell me to the Wang family so that they can benefit the Shen family."

"You...are you blaming me? How could I know that Fu'er...she would be like this?"

Wang thought of Lin Fu's coldness towards her and her attitude when she persuaded Lin Heng to agree to the marriage. She felt very upset and covered her face and cried.

Lin Wan frowned and let the two of them quarrel.

After Wang cried for a while and calmed down, she asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Wan'er, go and persuade your father not to accept this marriage."

"Yes, second sister, you are now the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion. As long as you disagree or object, father and the Wang family will definitely not dare to reject you."

Lin Wan sneered in her heart, watching the two people talking as if it was a matter of course, and asked with a smile: "Mother, I am just a married woman, how can I interfere in the marriage of my brother from my natal family. Moreover, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. Isn't this what you told me at the beginning?"

"Wan'er, I was wrong about what happened in the past, but you are living such a good life now! You see, marrying into a marquis's mansion is respectable and wealthy, and your life is much more comfortable than Fu'er's. Why do you still care about things that happened so long ago?"

"Hehe, hehe." Lin Wan couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.

"It seems that you took the trouble to find this marriage for me, not Lin Fu who deliberately changed it? I have to thank you for my good life now, right?"

"Wan'er, that's not what I meant." Wang explained haltingly, "Let's not talk about the past. You were wronged. But isn't it enough that the result is good?"

Seeing her cold face, he quickly continued, "Okay, okay, it was me as a mother who made mistakes before. If you want to blame someone, blame me. But Heng'er is your brother. Can you bear to watch him marry a girl he doesn't like?"

Before Lin Wan could say anything, Lin Heng became impatient and shouted, "You are already the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, and you won't even help with such a small favor? My mother has begged you so much, what else do you want? How can you be so cruel!"

"I am cruel?" Lin Wan was very amused. She looked at Lin Heng and asked word by word, "What do you think of me? Can you come when I want you to and leave when I want you to? Lin Heng, who gave you the face?"

Lin Heng's face flushed with irritation at her mocking tone, but Lin Wan did not give him a chance to refute, "You are right, I am now a member of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, why should I help you with this matter!"

"Lin Wan, don't be so shameless. Even if you marry into the Marquis' Mansion, you are still the daughter of the Lin family. If you don't have the support of the Lin family, do you think you can be so comfortable in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Lin Heng angrily cursed: "Master Lu is both his childhood sweetheart and his confidante. Do you think that you, his legal wife, can be valued by him? When he gets tired of you and divorces you, I wonder what you can do! You will still ask to return to the Lin family by then."

"You just want to see me embarrassed and you gloat over my misfortune. Let me tell you, Lin Wan, even if I really marry that lame Miss Wang, you will also be embarrassed. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion will laugh at you for having a lame relative!"

After Lin Heng finished speaking, Lin Wan didn't show any expression. She had known Lin Heng's character for a long time, so it was not surprising that he said such words. However, the maids serving in the room all looked extremely ugly, and they looked at Lin Heng with eyes that made them want to drive him out.

But before Lin Wan could speak, a cold male voice came from outside: "Don't bother with the affairs of our Marquis' Mansion, Master Lin!"

When Wang and Lin Heng heard this, their faces changed. They jumped up from their chairs in shock and looked towards the door together.

Lu Tingxu, dressed in the uniform of the Jinwu Guards, walked in with a dark face. He didn't even glance at Lin Heng and Wang when he passed by, and walked straight to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan didn't expect him to come back early today, and she happened to hear Lin Heng's crazy words. When she saw him come in, she stood up to greet him. Unexpectedly, Lu Tingxu walked quickly to her side and helped her sit on the main seat.

"Why did the prince come back early today?"

"I have a dinner party with my colleagues tonight, so I came back to pick something up. I heard from the servants that Madam Lin and Master Lin were coming, so I came to see them."

Lu Tingxu originally wanted to give Lin Wan face in front of the Lin family, and when he heard that the Lin family was coming, he went to see Lin Wan. But as soon as he entered the yard, he heard Lin Heng brazenly saying that Lin Wan would be divorced sooner or later, and he also talked nonsense about his private affairs, and he got angry on the spot.

Seeing that his face looked extremely bad, Lin Heng did not dare to speak again for a moment, and shrank his neck to reduce his presence.

Wang smiled awkwardly and said flatteringly, "Since the prince has something to do, we will go back first. Wan'er, come back and sit with us when you are free some other day."

Seeing that she looked like she had changed a lot, Lin Wan nodded and didn't even bother to smile.

Lu Tingxu didn't want to just endure it. Although he and Lin Wan were not a real couple, Lin Wan was his wife who was married in a formal ceremony and now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. How could he allow her to be scolded by a younger brother from her natal family like this?

"Mr. Lin's words just now made our mansion look like a den of dragons and tigers. I wonder what terrible way he treated Wan'er. What? Does he look down on our Yongning Marquisate?"

Lin Heng's face turned pale. "No, it's not."

"Wan'er is married into the Marquis' Mansion and is a member of our Mansion. This time, for Wan'er's sake, I will not bother with you. If it happens again, I will definitely ask Lord Lin how he disciplined her! Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I won't dare to do it again."

"It's easy to leave without seeing him off!"

Wang and Lin Heng left the mansion in cold sweat. Lin Wan just watched coldly from beginning to end, and did not say a word to persuade Lu Tingxu when he got angry.

Some people will think you are easy to bully if you don't let them know how powerful you are.

Lin Wan had already lost her heart towards those so-called blood relatives. Now that Lu Tingxu had gone on a rage, they probably wouldn't have the nerve to cause trouble for her again.
