After Lin Ruhai returned home, he heard that Jia Min had brought Lin Daiyu to the palace, and asked hurriedly, "Do you know who summoned them?"

The steward said, "It's the Imperial Concubine."

Lin Ruhai still frowned, and the steward was a little puzzled, so he said, "Master, don't worry. The imperial concubine is the niece of our wife. I think they just asked the wife and the girl to come to the palace to talk."

But things were not as simple as he thought.

Lin Ruhai no longer had the heart to read those ancient books. He sat down, stood up, and looked outside...

"Why aren't you back yet?"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the servant came running in. Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you back?"

The servant panted and said, "The madam and the young lady are back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." But before Lin Ruhai could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw another servant running in, speaking in a hurried tone and with a nervous look on his face.

"Master, the imperial edict has arrived, and Madam wants you to go out and receive it quickly."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he quickly packed up his things and walked quickly, not daring to delay for a moment.

As he walked, he couldn't help thinking, his wife had just entered the palace, and an imperial edict came down from the palace. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Lin Ruhai was worried and knelt on the ground respectfully, listening to the eunuch reading the imperial edict.

He knew the meaning of every word in the imperial edict, but when they were put together, it was a little difficult to understand.

Lin Ruhai was really confused and shocked. After sending away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, he stared at Jia Min in a daze, holding the imperial edict amid the congratulations of the servants, "What does the emperor mean? What happened when you entered the palace today? Why did he suddenly make Daiyu a princess?"

There were servants present at the moment, so Jia Min did not want to say more. She only said, "Your Majesty, we should just thank you for your grace. There is no need to ask so many questions. Stop asking."

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had been married for many years, so they immediately understood what she meant. They could only suppress their doubts and worries and show an expression of gratitude for the emperor's grace.

Everyone in the Lin family was in a joyous mood.

But the Jia family was a different story.

The decree that Lin Daiyu was named Princess Le'an spread quickly throughout the capital. When Grandmother Jia heard it, she was shocked at first, then delighted, and laughed heartily, "Our family has had one happy event after another these days."

Mrs. Wang curled her lips secretly and couldn't help thinking that girl Lin was not from the Jia family.

The old lady was really happy for nothing.

What's more, those people in the Lin family were extremely arrogant to begin with, and now that they have gained power, they look down on others even more.

I don’t know what kind of incense the Lin family burned.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but think that maybe the Lin family used some evil magic to trick the emperor into issuing such a foolish edict.

Even if such honor existed, it should belong to her Baoyu.

God is really blind.

Wang was already upset, and seeing the others laughing non-stop made her feel even more uncomfortable, as if she was troubled by a hundred claws and seemed unwilling to give up.

The girls in the Jia family were all happy for Lin Daiyu. The smiles on their faces had never disappeared since they found out about this. They talked to each other and discussed going to the Lin family to congratulate her.

Mrs. Wang sneered inwardly, curled her lips, and said, "In my opinion, it's better not to go."

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her.

Grandmother Jia stopped smiling and said, "The Lin family has a big happy event. They get along well with Miss Lin, so it's only natural for them to go there."

After hearing what Lady Jia said, the smiles on the faces of the three sisters, which had been frozen after being poured cold water by Lady Wang, immediately became lively again, and they discussed in a low voice what gifts to bring so as not to appear rude.

But where Mrs. Wang is, there is no silence as long as the Lin family is mentioned.

She turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, put on the airs of a mistress, and said, "Old lady, you don't know that Miss Lin has high standards. Even if we move all of our daughter's things over there, I'm afraid they won't be appreciated. That's why I said it's better not to go."

Grandmother Jia was annoyed with her, and even more annoyed with her words. Her face changed and she said, "You are my aunt, but Lin girl really called you aunt in vain. I really don't know how Lin girl has wronged you to deserve so many harsh words from you."

Madam Wang forced a smile and said, "The old lady has misunderstood. I don't mean to be mean to Miss Lin. It's just that she is now a princess with a noble status, so naturally she would look down on those worthless things of our girl."

Everyone present looked at her with very strange eyes, wondering what kind of grudge the lady had with the Lin family. Every time she mentioned the Lin family, she always looked disdainful yet jealous.

The Lin family and the Jia family are in-laws. If the Lin family gains power, the Jia family will naturally rise with it. How come the madam doesn't even know this?

Jia Tanchun originally respected Mrs. Wang very much, but this respect was completely worn away by Mrs. Wang's confusing behavior time and time again.

"Madam, please don't blame me for being nosy. Sister Lin treats us sisters very well on weekdays. Now that she is getting happy, if we pretend we don't know and dare not say a word, won't people say we are cold-hearted?" Jia Tanchun smiled distantly, no longer as affectionate and intimate as before, "Besides, no matter how expensive or cheap the things are, they are the thoughts of us sisters."

Madam Wang sneered, "Forget it, forget it. I was just kindly reminding you. You may think I was wrong now, but you will know when you go to the Lin family."

Jia Tanchun and the others disagreed. In their minds, even if Daiyu became an emperor, let alone a princess, she would definitely not be as indifferent as the lady said.

Mrs. Wang felt that Lady Jia and the others were blinded by greed and deceived by the pretentious Lin family, which is why they thought that all members of the Lin family were good.

If it weren't for the Lin family, her nephew would have died.

Ren'er just made some minor mistakes, but he is just a child after all. There is no need to show mercy to him. Why do you have to force him into a desperate situation?

Her brother therefore broke off relations with her and no longer cared about her affairs.

I think this is the Lin family's plan, to make her deserted by her friends and family and end up alone.

dream!

Mrs. Wang thought that even if she didn't have the Wang family to rely on, she still had the daughter of the imperial concubine, so who would dare to do anything to her?

Even the old lady had to look up to her for the sake of the empress.

After sending away Mrs. Wang who had spoiled her fun, Grandmother Jia started chatting and laughing with Sanchun again.

"The old ancestor is so happy today, is there any good news?" Before Wang Xifeng stepped into the room, a crisp voice came through the curtain.

Although Grandmother Jia was old, she was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and knew that Wang Xifeng had become somewhat estranged from the Lin family because of Wang Ren's matter.

She restrained her smile a little and said, "Your sister Lin has been adopted by the emperor as his daughter and named Princess Le'an. They are discussing going to congratulate her."
