Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1187: Vicious Means
Lin House.

The Lin family members were still unaware that the emperor had also found out about the rumor. They were angry at Chu Chengyao for his despicable tactics and for not even letting a poor woman go.

Lin Yanqing specifically called Lin Wanrong to let her know how vicious the royal family's methods were and let Lin Wanrong think carefully about whether she really wanted to marry into the royal family.

Upon hearing that her own mother was implicated, Lin Wanrong felt panicked and guilty, and she wanted to retreat again. The words that were about to come out of her throat stopped abruptly when she felt the warmth on the back of her hand. She met Lin Jinyan's eyes, bit her lip to swallow the words back, and remained silent.

"My cousin has been raised by my grandmother for many years, and the General's Mansion has also been very fond of her. The Prince of Jin is spreading rumors and making trouble in order to prevent us from siding with the General's Mansion and the Prince of Qi.

Therefore, I ruined my cousin's reputation and prevented her from becoming the Queen of Qi. Unfortunately, I guessed it was him, but I have no evidence! I used to treat him as a gentleman!"

Lin Jinan's slightly childish face was filled with gloomy anger. Lin Yanqing and Lin Siyuan were also angry, and both of them were extremely disgusted with Chu Chengyao's behavior.

"When the King of Jin first started spreading rumors, he didn't specify who it was. Later, he vaguely mentioned my cousin but didn't confirm it. Yan'er thought that the King of Jin might not only want to... ruin the good things of the King of Qi and my cousin. After all, this is not the first time that the King of Jin has taken action against Aunt Xu."

Lin Yanqing and Lin Siyuan recalled that Zhong Yi had kidnapped Madam Xu. After just a moment's thought, they understood what Lin Jinyan meant.

Lin Jinan: "Yan'er, are you saying... Prince Jin not only wants to ruin my cousin's marriage, but also wants to help her when she is in trouble?"

Lin Yanqing angrily scolded: "This bastard is still ruthless! He wants to harm people and then save them, forcing Wanrong's reputation to be ruined and she has no choice but to become his concubine! Don't even think about it!"

After understanding Cheng Yao's thoughts, Lin Siyuan suddenly felt frightened:

"If that's the case, the reason why the rumor is so vague is to let Wanrong go to Prince Jin's Mansion and then find a reason to vindicate Wanrong. If we were really kept in the dark, we would be grateful to them..."

Lin Jinyan held Lin Wanrong's hand tightly and sighed worriedly:
"No matter how despicable the King of Jin is, he is still a prince. Let alone there is no evidence, even if there is solid evidence, as long as he denies it, the Lin family is just a minister and cannot force Your Majesty to punish the King of Jin.
The people's mouths can't be stopped. If the rumors continue to spread, my cousin's reputation will be ruined. Not only will the wish of King Jin be fulfilled, but she will no longer have a chance to meet King Qi. For the rest of her life, she will be criticized for this." Lin Yanqing, with an angry face, looked at Lin Wanrong with distress, worry and indignation, and thought silently.

After coming out of the study, Lin Jinyan took Lin Wanrong back to Yan Yuxuan. After some comforting, Lin Wanrong left feeling relieved and her face regained its color.

Lin Jinyan, who had just seen someone off and was thirsty, took the hot tea handed to her by Bai Zhi. The jasmine fragrance filled her mouth as the tea went down her throat, and her heart inexplicably beat faster for a moment:
"What day is it today?"

Seeing Lin Jinyan finish her tea and stare at the cup in a daze, Bai Zhi held back her smile and said seriously:

"It's the second day of the Chinese New Year. It's been eight days since Boss An left Beijing."

Lin Jinyan muttered absentmindedly:

"It's less than ten days yet? Counting the days, we should be arriving in Zhangzhou soon..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Jinyan suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked up at Bai Zhi who was laughing secretly, and her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment:

"Baizhi!"

Bai Zhi begged for mercy with a smile, and the two of them laughed and joked for a while. Lin Jinyan ordered Bai Zhi to take out the letter that An Zhixian left before leaving Beijing.

"With this, Grandfather will have nothing to worry about."
