Old Madam Lin was very pleased with herself and quickly said,""Senior Grand Preceptor Jiang is a distinguished guest. How can he stand outside all the time?”
"How rude, how rude. Senior Grand Preceptor Jiang, please come in.”
Old Master Lin reacted and immediately invited Grand Preceptor Jiang into the main room.
Lin Qinghan sat quietly beside the old madam.
Jiang Ziqiu, who was sitting next to Grand Preceptor Jiang, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Qinghan.
Why was this girl so obedient today? Was this still the little beast that bared its fangs and brandished its claws last night?
He was so obedient now. He was completely different from the hag who dared to roar at him and expose him yesterday!
Of course, Lin Qinghan noticed Jiang Ziqiu's gaze. It was so annoying that she wanted to slap him.
However, in front of his grandmother and father, he still had to maintain his image. Therefore, he still sat quietly.
Lin Qingxue was different. She looked at Jiang Ziqiu with her beautiful eyes.
This was the eldest princess's son. Knowing that he might come, Lin Qingxue specially dressed up. If she could get young master Jiang's favor, she could become the eldest princess 'daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, she was extremely excited. With her appearance that was the best in the capital, she did not believe that any man would not be tempted.
"Young master Jiang, my second brother offended you yesterday. Qingxue apologizes on behalf of my second brother.”
Lin Qingxue's graceful body swayed as she walked towards Jiang Ziqiu and bowed lightly.
Jiang Ziqiu looked up and glanced at Lin Qinghan before looking away impatiently.
Senior Grand Preceptor Jiang leisurely drank his tea and did not care about this scene. He seemed to be used to it.
Born in a prestigious family, coupled with her outstanding appearance and temperament, there were indeed many girls in the capital who admired Jiang Ziqiu. It was not strange that Lord Lin's daughter had a crush on him.
Old Master Lin saw that Lin Qingxue treated the man like this in public and was a little unhappy. Perhaps it was because of Lin Qinghan's comparison, which made Lin Qingxue's actions seem a little impetuous.
Jiang Ziqiu did not want to pay attention to the woman in front of him at this time. He replied directly,"Hey, you're blocking my view by standing here.”
Lin Qingxue frowned. What was going on? This Jiang Ziqiu wasn't convinced by her beauty and was complaining that she was an eyesore? He must not have seen her face clearly. As long as he looked at her once, the result would definitely be different.
"Young master Jiang, Qingxue didn't mean it, please forgive her.”
As she spoke, Lin Qingxue slowly raised her head, her watery eyes looking pitifully at Jiang Ziqiu. She thought that this time, he had finally seen it clearly.
Jiang Ziqiu was famous for his rebellious personality. The more Lin Qingxue behaved like this, the more Jiang Ziqiu disliked her.
"Since you didn't do it on purpose, then hurry up and get out of the way!" he said angrily. You won't block my line of sight when you raise your head?”
Lin Qingxue's face instantly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. There were so many people around, this young master Jiang really didn't give her any face.
Old Master Lin looked embarrassed and turned to Lin Qingxue,"Why are you so rude today? Why are you standing there? Hurry up and retreat!"
Lin Qingxue grew up in a honey jar and was praised and envied by everyone around her. Her beautiful face had always been her proudest asset, but now she was ignored by Jiang Ziqiu in public and scolded by Father Lin in public. After being humiliated like this, Lin Qingxue suddenly felt ashamed and angry. She covered her face and ran out crying. Seeing this, Madam Xie couldn't help but follow her out and comfort her.
Lin Qinghan was a little confused. He remembered that in his previous life, Jiang Ziqiu had fallen in love with Lin Qingxue at first sight. He loved her and protected her.
The day before her wedding, she had heard that the eldest princess 'son, Jiang Ziqiu, had requested an entire city from the emperor for the sake of Lady Qinghan, claiming that he would build a palace for his beloved woman, Lin Qinghan.
But in this life, why didn't Jiang Ziqiu bow down to Lin Qinghan's beauty like in his previous life?
Lin Qinghan was deep in thought when she heard Grand Preceptor Jiang say,"This son of mine is also a spoiled playboy. He's on par with your second son. The two of them can be considered to have gotten to know each other without fighting this time.”
Old Master Lin replied politely," Although Young Master Ziqiu is a little playful, he is a famous young talent in the capital. How can those good-for-nothing kids in my family be compared to him?"”
Grand Preceptor Jiang sighed. How could he not know that Old Master Lin was just being polite? A father knew his son best. How could he not know what his son was like?
Grand Preceptor Jiang shook his head with a bitter smile." Sigh, Master Lin, you have three sons and two daughters. You can always pick one or two outstanding ones. Look at me. I only have one son and one daughter, and they're both spoiled playboys.”
Old Master Lin comforted him," Grand Preceptor, you don't have to worry so much. Your young masters and young ladies are all of noble status. They are personally taken care of by the Eldest Princess and are protected by the Emperor. They will naturally be noble and worry-free for their entire lives. Grand Preceptor, you can relax."”
Hearing his father's words, Lin Qinghan couldn't help but laugh.
Grand Preceptor Jiang's attention was drawn to Qinghan's confused smile and he immediately asked,"Qinghan, do you have a different opinion from your father?”
Lin Qinghan was a little embarrassed to be suddenly asked by Grand Preceptor Jiang,"This little daughter does not dare to discuss the Grand Preceptor's family matters.”
Grand Preceptor Jiang praised Qinghan for being a smart child and liked him very much. He said,"Don't think too much about it, Qinghan. Just treat it as a test. Uncle Jiang really wants to know what your answer is.”
This way, no matter what he said, no one would be able to say anything.
Seeing that Grand Preceptor Jiang was so thoughtful, Lin Qinghan didn't refuse.
She smiled faintly." Uncle Grand Preceptor, Qinghan thinks that although it is a good thing to be born noble, it is not as stable as being strong. One's life cannot always be smooth sailing. Who can guarantee that glory and favor will last forever?"”
Old Master Lin heard the truth from his daughter and quickly scolded,"Don't talk nonsense. What does a girl know?”
Grand Preceptor Jiang pondered for a moment." Lord Lin, you don't have to be like this. This girl is right."”
Lin Qinghan bowed slightly to Grand Preceptor Jiang, then sat down quietly.
Old Master Lin quickly smiled apologetically." This little girl has just reached adulthood and is still immature. If she has said anything wrong, please forgive her."”
Grand Preceptor Jiang shook his head and said," Lord Lin, this girl is right. How can a person enjoy glory and favor forever? If one day the glory and favor is gone, and the child doesn't live up to expectations, the family property will be squandered no matter how much it is.”
Old Master Lin did not say anything else. He naturally felt the same way. How could his sons not worry him?
Old Madam Lin patted Lin Qinghan's hand in relief, feeling very pleased with herself. Her granddaughter was more than ten times better than the rumors.
Grand Preceptor Jiang exchanged a few pleasantries with Old Master Lin before taking his leave. He was just paying his respects.
As he left, Jiang Ziqiu walked past Lin Qinghan and whispered,"You're quite good at pretending! You little girl, I'll remember our debts first.”
Lin Qinghan was speechless. He was the one who was caught cheating, yet he still blamed himself. Was there something wrong with this brat's brain?
After sending off Grand Preceptor Jiang and the others, Old Master Lin immediately gave the order.
"Men, tie up the Second Young Master and give him 50 sticks of punishment. No one is allowed to plead for mercy!。”
When Lin Ruomu heard that, she instantly jumped up and roared,"Father, father, you can't hit me. Father, I know my mistake.”
"Old Master, Ruomu has lost his mother, and he pities you…" Madam Xie immediately begged.
"Shut up." Before Madam Xie could finish speaking, Old Master Lin shouted back.
Old Master Lin remembered all of Lin Qinghan's words. If he didn't discipline her properly, she might really cause trouble in the future.
Being shouted at like this, Madam Xie was shocked. This was the first time Old Master Lin had used such an attitude to shout at her in front of a scary person.
"A loving mother often spoils her son. I'm talking about you!”
Mrs. Xie's eyes instantly welled up with tears, as if she had suffered a great grievance. She wanted to continue persuading him, but she did not dare to.
Lin Qinghan sneered in her heart. This had nothing to do with a loving mother. This was obviously flattery, the most vicious way to harm people.
When Lin Ruomu saw her doting Madam Xie being shouted at by her father, she was instantly unhappy."Father, don't shout at Mother. If there's anything, come at me.”
Madam Xie also knelt beside Lin Ruomu with a compassionate look as she cried,"Master, if you want to hit me, then hit me, sob…"
