Lin Yuanyue smiled stiffly and could only follow Lin Xi inside. When she met Lin Hewen's gaze, she immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Father, although it was wrong for my elder sister to sneak out, there must be something behind it. Please don't punish my elder sister. If you really want to punish my elder sister, why not punish me?"

When Lin Hewen heard these words, his eyes turned fierce when he looked at Lin Xi, and he said without mercy: "It's ok for you to sneak out and meet a stranger, but you actually asked your sister to make up for you."

"Are you dissatisfied that the recent turmoil in the Lin Mansion is not enough? You still want to go out and embarrass yourself."

When he thought about the Lin family becoming a laughing stock, he instantly looked several years older. What's more, he could no longer contact Yue'er and the Ninth Prince.

Lin Xi, it’s useless.

When he thought of this, his chest seemed to be blocked and he was out of breath. The look he gave Lin Xi became more vicious, "Since you..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Xi said bluntly: "Father, why don't you listen to me?"

A trace of hatred flashed in Lin Yuanyue's eyes, and she cried and said, "Father, you must forgive my elder sister!"

When he heard Lin Yuanyue's words, the anger in his heart was ignited for some reason. He faced her with a stern face: "I didn't expect anything from you. Now you are meeting a man outside your relationship, and you still want me to listen to you?"

After hearing his words, Lin Xi had already given up hope in him, but now, her eyes were cold and she smiled slightly as she said, "Father, is it related to Master Chen San?"

Hearing this, even Lin Yuanyue's expression changed. She lowered her head, not wanting people to see the hatred in her eyes. How could it be possible? Didn't her mother go and find someone to test it?

Chen Xun, it is impossible that he is interested in Lin Xi.

Lin Hewen's expression changed, and he asked hesitantly, "Did you meet Mr. Chen San today?"

In Kyoto, no one wants to curry favor with Master Chen San, including him. However, Master Chen San seemed to have no hobbies, and no one knew what he really liked. In the past, someone had taken a risk and tried to get in touch with him, but that person had a miserable ending. As a result, everyone has given up the idea now, but they don't want to give up this opportunity.

So what if he is the Ninth Prince? He is Master Chen the Third.

If the Lin family really establishes a relationship with Mr. Chen San, wouldn’t the Lin family have an extra guarantee for its future?

Lin Hewen thought more and more and couldn't help asking, "When did you become so familiar with Mr. Chen San?"

Lin Xi nodded, put her hands in front of her, her face full of shyness, and said softly: "Third Master, today you gave me his beloved pet to raise. If your daughter is not wrong... I think Third Master should do the same as me."

Hearing that Chen Xun gave Lin Xi a pet, Lin Hewen's eyes lit up and he walked a few steps to her, wanting to confirm it again: "Is it true?"

"This matter cannot be false. Third Master's beloved pet is in my courtyard now."

Listening to what Lin Xi said, Lin Hewen instantly felt that the fragrance of flowers floating outside the window made him feel comfortable, and even the annoying cicada chirping became pleasant to his ears.

That was the ruthless and impartial Mr. Chen San. Even the people in the Chen Mansion had never heard of him giving anything as a gift. But now he actually gave his beloved pet to Lin Xi.

The meaning of this is naturally self-evident.

The tense lines on Lin Hewen's face softened instantly, and his eyes turned gentle as he looked at Lin Xi. "Lin Xi, if the Third Master really likes you, you will be a great contributor to the Lin Mansion."

With Mr. Chen San around, who would dare to say anything about the Lin family?

Lin Xi pursed her lips and said nothing, then continued, "I also invited Master Ouyang to stay at my house for a while."

"What?" Hearing this news, Lin Hewen staggered in surprise. The way he looked at Lin Xi changed. He looked more seriously at his eldest daughter, whom he had never looked at directly. His eyes were deeply immersed in memories. Finally, he couldn't help but sighed: "Actually, you look a lot like your mother."

Master Ouyang was an old scholar who was famous in the capital in those days. However, he offended His Majesty and left the capital to travel around the world. All the students who were taught by him were able to pass the exam.

Lin Yuanyue was still kneeling on the ground, and had not yet reacted to Lin Hewen's change. Her red lips gradually turned white. She saw that her father wanted to start paying attention to Lin Xi.

She originally wanted to see her father punish Lin Xi, or at least let her father see that Lin Xi was even more useless than her. But how come her father saw Lin Xi and even started to ignore her?

Lin Yuanyue bit her lower lip hard, and finally stood up by herself. The expression on her face became calm, and she said to Lin Xi in surprise: "Sister, why didn't you tell the family about your relationship with Third Master, and why did you keep it a secret?"

"It's not like we're hiding it. We haven't spoken about it publicly. Father, don't tell anyone." Lin Xi sneered, looked at Lin Yuanyue, and then said, "Sister, why didn't you tell your family about your affairs? Otherwise, it wouldn't have become so ugly in the court."

Lin Yuanyue smiled ugly.

After saying that, Lin Xi was so hungry that she was about to cry. She knelt on the ground again and again, straightened her back and said to Lin Hewen, "Father, if I hadn't found my mother's belongings and mistakenly thought there was a thief in the house and was anxious to go to court, I wouldn't have involved my mother and Zhao Yu in this matter."

When this matter was mentioned, Lin Hewen's face darkened instantly, "Let's not talk about this matter anymore, it's not your fault."

He was really angry when he thought that Xu had embezzled those things behind his back. Now Lin Zhaoyu has been sent back to his hometown to hide for a while. If he has a relationship with Chen Xun now, and if he can help him take care of things in the future, maybe he can resume his career in politics.

When Lin Yuanyue heard this, she lost confidence and now looked at her father with a stiff smile on her face.

Could it be that father is really partial to Lin Xi now?

Or, has he given up hope on her and her brother now?

Lin Xi glanced at Lin Yuanyue lightly. She didn't mind Lin Yuanyue's hypocrisy, but she deceived her with the family affection that she cared about most, and even regarded herself as a stepping stone in her life.

Now is just the beginning.

Lin Hewen had never considered herself as his hope, and from now on, she was the only one he could count on.

And Lin Yuanyue, just look at how this stepping stone has left her with nothing!

"Father, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Lin Xi showed no hesitation.

When Lin Hewen heard the news she brought, he felt mixed emotions, but unexpectedly let her continue.

Lin Xi then continued, "Lin family, we don't have many children in this life, and Brother Ming is also a child of the Lin family. If he gets well, the Lin family will definitely get well in the future. This means that everyone will prosper together. Father, don't you agree?"

Lin Hewen frowned: "That's what I mean." The words came out of his mouth. It seemed that he knew too little about Lin Xi in front of him.

When I heard what Xu said before, I never took her seriously, but now I think she is indeed smart.

"Brother Min, just take care of the arrangements!"

"As for mother's mistakes, if she is not punished, she will certainly not be able to convince the public." Lin Xi smiled lightly, "Why not give the housekeeper power to my aunt first?"

Lin Yuanyue's heart was filled with alarm. The housekeeper's power was a real benefit. If it was gone, it would be inconvenient to do anything in the future. "No."

She is so amazing.
