1779 The Lin Family’s Visit 2

“Understood,” Sword One promptly replied.

The Lin Family, Gu Chaoyan’s own household, may not have been particularly pleasant, but the Old Master of the Lin Family still sided with her.

As the Queen, it was Gu Chaoyan’s duty to meet with the Lin Family and make appropriate arrangements.

...

Meanwhile, back at Fengxian Palace, Sword One conveyed the message about summoning the Lin Family to the court. Gu Chaoyan took a moment to rest in the court, feeling quite fatigued after her visit to Duke North Mansion. Although the tea from the mansion was fragrant and of excellent quality, Gu Chaoyan hadn’t been able to fully savor it. However, she felt revitalized after taking a sip of tea in Fengxian Palace.

At the Lin Mansion.

The court officials were efficient, especially when it came to tasks related to Fengxian Palace. They worked with even greater diligence.

Two hours later, the imperial decree and the carriage arrived at the Lin Mansion simultaneously.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial decree awaited the Lin Family’s arrival after completing his task.

The three members of the Lin Family, particularly Mrs. Lin, were filled with surprise and joy. “We’re going to the court! We’re going to the court! She will make arrangements for us! Ah, I never imagined that we would become relatives of the imperial family! And soon, we will also become a noble family!”

“…”

“When the coronation ceremony took place, we were escorted to attend, but we were not mentioned. I thought she had forgotten everything we did to her, using us only when convenient and abandoning us when she was finished. But she’s not like that, is she?”

“…”

“I have never set foot in the court before in my entire life, and now we’re going as relatives of the imperial family! It’s truly astounding!” Mrs. Lin cheered, feeling as if a life of luxury awaited her in the near future. Despite the hardships they had endured, it all seemed worthwhile now. Marrying into the Lin Family was the right choice after all! Now they were reaping the rewards.

Lin Jiashu and Lin Jiaxing were relatively more reserved. They didn’t share the same level of excitement as Mrs. Lin.

Chaoyan was not only the Queen but also the Phoenix Girl.

In truth, if she hadn’t planned to bestow a significant reward upon the Lin Family, they wouldn’t be safe.

While Mrs. Lin may not have noticed, Lin Jiashu and Lin Jiaxing did. The Lin Mansion had been provided with numerous guards and hidden protectors.

They must have been arranged by Chaoyan, ensuring their safety.

Chaoyan’s actions were likely driven by her desire to honor her mother’s memory. However, she had already done enough. She had considered the Lin Family’s well-being thoroughly.

If she were to overlook the smaller favors and instead bestow significant rewards, the Lin Family would undoubtedly face a challenging future.

The Lin Family had been a business-oriented family for generations, lacking the firm foundation and influence of the originally noble families.

It was unexpected for them to thrive so remarkably.

But this was sufficient. Just like the Jiang Family, who withdrew from the political sphere, they would benefit from maintaining a low profile.

Mrs. Lin grew frustrated, observing the two men’s lack of enthusiasm or plans for the Lin Family. “What are you two staring at?”

“…”

“This is a rare opportunity, and we should consider how to leverage it for the benefit of our family!”
