Chapter 226 The Person Behind Lin Chong
Chapter 226 The Person Behind Lin Chong
Outside in the main hall, Lin Chong and Prince Chen were still in a stalemate. Prince Chen insisted that he had only wandered here accidentally. Besides, he had come to propose marriage, so even if there was something going on between him and Lin Ru, he would marry her anyway! I really didn't know what Lin Chong was struggling with!
Actually, Lin Chong had already planned to settle the matter peacefully! But he felt that Prince Chen had gone too far! Therefore, his face was as gloomy as water, secretly resenting Prince Chen for his lack of sincerity and inability to adapt!
Lin Yue knew that King Chen was so arrogant because he was sure of everything. Lin Ru could only suffer in silence. Moreover, it was her own fault that led to the current situation. She probably didn't expect that Lin Yue and Ruan would find out!
In the end, the only option was to move the wedding date forward so that Lin Ru could get married earlier and put an end to it.
But King Chen's attitude was too uncomfortable! Lin Chong couldn't swallow this!
Lin Yue watched with a smile. Anyway, she had achieved her goal, so she gave her husband a wink.
"Since Prince Chen is so sincere in his request, the Ningyuan Marquisate cannot resist his sincere request and will agree to marry off his daughter in a month. Is that okay?"
When Ye Yin spoke, Lin Chong and King Chen were both stunned, and then they realized that he was helping them.
He had been silent just now, and everyone thought that it was impossible for him to stand on either side, but now that he has spoken, it means that he will join forces with the Ningyuan Marquisate to target him.
King Chen was not surprised and smiled slightly, as if he had planned it long ago.
"That's exactly what the king intended!"
Lin Chong had no choice but to marry his daughter off in a hurry. If it got out, it would be criticized. But he could just put the blame on Prince Chen when the time comes!
"In that case, Prince Chen! All the rules must be followed. After all, you and I will be brothers-in-law from now on. The wedding ceremony cannot be perfunctory! We must not lose the face of the royal family! When the time comes, I will ask His Majesty to take a look at the Ningyuan Marquisate!"
The implication is that King Chen should not do anything that would lose his status!
Prince Chen suddenly widened his eyes. He didn't expect that Ye Yin would actually ask His Majesty to come forward and favor them so much. This was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that he was just relying on his own face.
According to the information he got, Lin Yue and Lin Ru are not biological sisters, their family affection is limited, and she has also framed her, so there is no way she can help Lin Ru!
When Lin Ru threw herself into his arms, he thought about it carefully. He was not interested in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. What he wanted was the secret behind Lin Chong.
Lin Chong has a close relationship with the Lang family. Although the Lang family has declined, they are protected by the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It seems that they have benefited from Lin Chong, but in fact, the old fox surnamed Lang is mysterious. The relationship between him and Lin Chong cannot be that simple, but the fact that he single-handedly helped the Lin family to the position of marquis shows that the old fox is resourceful, wise and scheming.
If he married Lin Ru, not only would he become a brother-in-law to the King of the Southwest on the surface, but he would also have the opportunity to uncover the secrets behind Lin Chong!
Right now, if Ye Yin helps them, it would be just what he wants! His original intention was to become a brother-in-law with Ye Yin and also to take advantage of his influence.
But he was a little hesitant because he had to report to His Majesty and gild the Ningyuan Marquisate. After all, if His Majesty discovered his little trick, it would be no small matter!
Therefore, he no longer cared about putting on airs and just went along with them in everything. Whatever Lin Chong said was the truth. He was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before!
"That's nature, that's nature!"
This really made Lin Chong proud!
Everything was settled, and after Prince Chen left, Lin Ping said to Lin Yue with a complicated expression, "Do you think they are good?"
"Brother, can't you see? If I try to stop them, I'll be their enemy from now on. It's better to do nothing! If it weren't for your face, the prince wouldn't have said anything."
Lin Ping was stunned. "I don't mean to blame you. I just thought you wouldn't let her have her way. It seems I was overthinking it!"
Lin Yue smiled slightly and said nothing. This brother didn't understand her yet. Even Ruan could see his attitude towards Lin Ru. He was confused by the situation. After all, she was still his biological sister. It was impossible for him to completely ignore her.
I believe he will be able to understand it soon.
Although he cares about Lin Yue, as a sister born of the same mother, there is really only so much Lin Ping can do.
Lin Yue is not a saint. If others treat her well, she will repay them. If they treat her badly, she will retaliate.
Ruan, on the other hand, looked relieved. She had grown up in the harem and was familiar with the methods used by the women there. Her careless mother-in-law and sister-in-law must have done something to hurt Lin Yue. They had probably entered the wing room to ask for Lin Yue's help! This was why she didn't follow them in.
After all, her husband had broken bones with them and was still connected to them. Although he didn't want Lin Ru to marry into Prince Chen's Mansion, she asked for it herself and no one could do anything about it. There were some things that Lin Ping would know later even if she didn't say it!
Ruan made up her mind and gave her husband a look, telling him not to mislead him.
"After returning home, the prince and I should set off back to the southwest soon!"
Lin Yue felt a little regretful that she couldn't see Lin Ru's "perfect life" after marriage, but she believed that someone would write to her!
"Okay, I'll see you off then! If you have the chance, sister, please come back to the capital more often and keep in touch with us."
Lin Ping knew that they still had to go around a long way to get to Yejia Village, so he didn't say much. He understood the significance of Yejia Village to Lin Yue, and when he thought of the hardships she had experienced, an indescribable bitterness rose in his heart.
"Will do."
After what happened to Lin Ru, Lin Yue had no appetite to eat at the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, so she went straight back to the Southwest Prince's Mansion.
"The matter of Fanghua has been investigated. The people behind Lin Chong are the Lang family."
"Lang family?"
Lin Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the fallen Lang family could hide so deeply!
"That old man, Lang Zhengde, is no ordinary man! Back then, Lin Chong was a small sixth-rank official, ostracized by the locals. But after marrying Lang, he rose through the ranks and became a marquis in just a few years. If the decline of the Lang family was within his expectations, then supporting Lin Chong was definitely his way out!
Lin Yue understood. It seemed that between Lang Zhengde and Lin Chong, Lang Zhengde was the one who controlled everything!
Otherwise, Lin Chong would never give those things to him.
I'm afraid Lang Zhengde doesn't know that Lin Chong hid those things without telling him, otherwise, he would have taken action long ago.
However, Lin Yue was very curious about Lang Zhengde's purpose and what he knew.
"He didn't kill Fanghua. On the one hand, he wanted to pry her open, and on the other hand, he probably felt that Fanghua didn't know much. Fanghua wasn't an important person, and the map in your hand might not be something Lang Zhengde doesn't have."
Lin Yue was surprised that Ye Yin would make such an inference.
"What makes you guess that? What's your basis?"
