The First Daughter of Rebirth

"What?" After hearing the servant's report, Zhao Lin felt very strange. Ever since the two families broke off their engagement, they had rarely interacted with each other. But in the final analysis, the fault of the Marquis Zhongyi for breaking up the engagement this time was

, so they have nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, Keren has a better home now and will bring greater benefits to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so he does not want the previous marriage.

Now that I mention it, I don’t know why Lin Zhi came here today.

In fact, not only Zhao Lin, but everyone present was very confused about the sudden arrival of Zhongyi Hou. As Zhao Keren, who was once engaged to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, when she heard the news, she couldn't bear it.

He frowned.

At this time, no one noticed that there was a flash of interest in Zhao Keran's eyes. Others may not know it, but she knew in her heart why Marquis Zhongyi came here. When she originally thought that Marquis Zhongyi wanted to know the truth of the matter, she

He would immediately come to ask for help, but he didn't expect him to be so forbearing, so he chose to come at this time today. It seems that he is not a simple person!

"Is he the only one here?" Zhao Lin asked.

"No," the servant who reported the news respectfully replied, "Marquis Zhongyi and her wife are here, and even Prince Lin is here."

After hearing the servant's answer, Zhao Lin couldn't help but frown. At the same time, he felt very confused in his heart. What on earth did they come for today! They chose to come at this time today, and it was definitely not for trivial matters. However, it was lifted.

After the engagement is made, do the two families still have any major matters to discuss?

Although he was very confused in his heart, Zhao Lin still said, "Please invite them in quickly."

No matter what the reason was, Zhao Lin felt that he should invite people in first. Because even if the two families were not very happy now about the marriage contract, no matter what, the friendship between the two families lies in

If you don't see it there, it won't be very good.

After hearing Zhao Lin's instructions, the servant quickly went out, preparing to invite Marquis Zhongyi and others to come in. Zhao Keren, who was still sitting in the hall at this time, didn't know why, but an ominous premonition flashed through his heart.

Soon, Zhongyi Hou Lin Zhibian entered the hall with his wife Lin Zhou and his son Lin Xiran. In an instant, a strange atmosphere filled the hall. Looking at Lin Zhou and Lin Xiran entering the door, Zhao

Ke Ren felt very unnatural, and she didn't know if it was her illusion. She always seemed to feel that Lin Zhou's eyes seemed to be full of hatred when he looked at her.

Looking at Lin Zhi walking into the hall, Zhao Lin smiled and said, "My dear nephew! Do you have anything important to do when you come here today? We are holding an important party at home today!"

Lin Zhi still respected Zhao Lin very much. If nothing else, he would talk about the friendship he had with his father. He had to do this in order to save his face, "Uncle Zhao, this junior doesn't know that your family is holding such a ceremony."

It is indeed the junior's fault that you came to this important gathering uninvited. However, when you come here today, you do have something very important to discuss with you. Moreover, this matter is related to the face of our two families, so I also

It had to be done.”

In fact, Lin Zhi chose to come today on purpose. When he knew that Zhao Song would take his family back to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion today, he had already made a plan. Such a day was the most suitable, and even Zhao Song and the others were present.

, if there is any grudge, it is better to understand it today.

After Zhao Lin heard what Lin Zhi said, he couldn't help but frowned. He didn't know what Lin Zhi was talking about, but it seemed like it wasn't a trivial matter, especially since Lin Zhi had been talking about it since he came in.

With a dark face, he also said that this matter was related to the reputation of both families.

After thinking about it seriously, Zhao Lin said, "Just tell me what is going on, my dear nephew! I am all ears."

But before Lin Zhi could answer, Lin Zhou couldn't help but said, "Master Hou, you must give us an explanation for this matter, otherwise, we will never give up."

"Shut up!" Lin Zhi glared at Mrs. Lin Zhou. Mrs. Lin reluctantly closed her mouth!

After hearing what Lin Zhou said, Zhao Lin felt very unhappy. Although he didn't know what Lin Zhou meant, it was obvious that their family was here today to target the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

When he thought of this, he felt very unhappy in his heart, "My dear nephew, if you have something to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush here."

In fact, not only Zhao Lin, but also everyone present was very puzzled. They were all very curious about the purpose of Zhongyihou and his family coming here today. But whether it was Zhao Song, Qin Xianghe, or Zhao Ke

People, they all seemed to feel an ominous premonition, as if something was out of their control. Zhao Keran didn't say anything, just watched the show quietly. However, one thing made her

What made him very dissatisfied was the looks that Lin Zhou and Lin Xiran cast on him, which seemed to be full of regret and passion. Zhao Keran thought that he was really unlucky to bear such looks.

After Lin Zhi heard what Zhao Lin said, he did not directly say what happened. He just said, "Uncle Zhao, this matter is very involved. I still hope to talk to you in private."

Although he didn't know what it was about, Zhao Lin agreed to Lin Zhi's request, "Well, if that's the case, let's go to the study to talk!"

"That's good." Lin Zhi agreed.

"What about Mrs. Lin and Prince Lin?" Zhao Lin asked, "Do they also want to talk together?"

"No need." Lin Zhi shook his head, "Uncle Zhao, the reason why they came here is just because this matter is really important and has an important relationship with them, so they are very concerned about it. However, this matter is still

I'll just talk to you. If there are too many people, I'm afraid there will be chaos. Wait a minute, and then call them all in after we have the results!"

Lin Zhou who was on the side also really wanted to talk together, but after hearing what Lin Zhi said, she didn't dare to put forward any opinions. Because it was she who insisted on getting engaged to Zhao Keren in the first place that made things happen today.

It was like this, so in this situation, she really didn't dare to say anything more.

"Well, let them wait in the hall first!" Zhao Lin said, "Let's go to the study room to talk!"

Then, Zhao Lin turned around and ordered, "Come here, serve tea to Mrs. Lin and Prince Lin. Ling'er, please entertain Mrs. Lin and the others well. Also, everyone else should stay in the hall to help greet them.

Let them!"

"Master, don't worry," Xiao Ling responded quickly, "I will greet Mrs. Lin and Prince Lin well."

Soon, Zhao Lin brought Lin Zhi to the study. After closing the door, they both sat down.

"My nephew, I wonder why you came here today?" Zhao Lin asked, "I just saw you looking very anxious, and you also said that this matter also involves us.

These two families. I’m really curious, what exactly is this thing you’re talking about?”

"Uncle Zhao, you and my father have been friends for many years, and I respect you very much." Lin Zhi stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I also know it, because the relationship between our two families is so good.

, that’s why our two families made an engagement in the first place. Although the engagement has been canceled now, I have never blamed you Zhenbei Hou Mansion. After all, this matter was our fault in the first place, so we didn’t dare to say anything more.

.However, it was only recently that I realized that our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion actually took such a blame."

"What do you mean!" Zhao Lin frowned and asked, "What kind of loss did you suffer? As far as I know, the cancellation of the engagement this time was originally due to Prince Lin's indiscretion.

caused such consequences."

Zhao Lin felt a little displeased with Lin Zhi's words. Previously, Lin Xiran had hurt Keren in public for a brothel girl. After he found out about it, he was very displeased and thought that this was a mistake.

It was a slap in the face of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. But even so, for the sake of the friendship between the two families, he never thought of breaking off the engagement. However, later, both his wife and his son wanted to break off the engagement.

After thinking carefully, I agreed.

Originally, he was very regretful about breaking off the engagement. However, fortunately, Keren was very successful at the concubine selection banquet. She was favored by the prince and was selected as the prince's concubine. For such a person who can give Zhenbei Hou Mansion

He was very satisfied with the engagement that brought greater benefits. However, he did not expect that Lin Zhi would come at this time and say that the Zhongyi Hou Mansion was the one who took the blame for the cancellation of the engagement. It was either obvious or meant that it was terminated.

Is the engagement incident the fault of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion? Therefore, Zhao Lin was dissatisfied with Lin Zhi's words.

After hearing what Zhao Lin said, Lin Zhi was not angry, but remained very calm, "Uncle Zhao, there is no need to be angry. Since I dare to say this, I must have my reasons. I understand everything."

This was done after investigation and is definitely not just talking."

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Zhao Lin frowned and said, "You mean that the fault for breaking off the engagement this time is not your Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, but our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Really? If this is really the case, then you have to bring out the evidence. Lin Zhi, for the sake of the friendship between the two families, I still have to remind you that if you tell a lie here today, then we

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion will never give up easily."

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. Since I dare to come here, I definitely won't be messing around." Lin Zhi didn't pay attention to Zhao Lin's threat at all, "If I don't have complete confidence,

, that will never come. You must know that your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has now reached the imperial level, and I will not make fun of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion."

"Well, if you have something, just tell me!" Zhao Lin looked at Lin Zhi with sharp eyes, "I'm all ears."

Facing Zhao Lin's sharp gaze, Lin Zhi did not give in at all, "Uncle Zhao, in this case, I will tell you directly. After knowing about Ran'er and the brothel girl, I felt the same in my heart.

I was very angry, so I didn’t have the face to say anything more about your proposal to terminate the engagement. But later, when I thought about it carefully, I felt that something was not quite right. Ran’er has never been that kind of person, but

Why did it suddenly become like this? So, I decided to investigate this matter carefully."

At this point, Lin Zhi paused, looked at Zhao Lin, and continued, "But you won't know until you check. Once I checked, I was really shocked. The brothel woman named Ruxue actually approached her on purpose.

Ran'er's. Moreover, she was instigated by others and came here specifically to seduce Ran'er in order to terminate the engagement between the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

"What?" After hearing what Lin Zhi said, Zhao Lin was shocked, but then he became furious. "What you said is true. Someone really did this? And his purpose is to destroy the marriage contract between our two families. You

Tell me, who did this?"

Then Zhao Zai said, "This matter is absolutely true." Compared with Zhao Lin's anger, Lin Zhi was very calm, "Besides, Uncle Zhao, this person is none other than your granddaughter.

Zhao Keren is engaged to our Zhongyihou Mansion."

"What, it's impossible." After hearing what Lin Zhi said, Zhao Lin's first reaction was to deny, "Keren is a very gentle and kind person, how could she do such a thing! Besides, she is just a

She's just a boudoir lady, even if she wants to do it, she doesn't have the ability."

"Really?" Lin Zhi looked at Zhao Lin with a half-smile, "Uncle Zhao, if you really think so, you are absolutely wrong. You must know that Zhao Keren is now the crown prince's concubine.

, if there is no definite evidence, do I dare to say such a thing? Also, you are right, Zhao Keren is just a boudoir lady, and she is indeed incapable of doing such a thing, but if she has help,

, it’s another story.”

With every word Lin Zhi said, Zhao Lin's expression became more and more gloomy. Until Lin Zhi finished speaking, his expression could only be described as a black word, "I ask you, what did you say?"

They are all true. Also, who is the helper you are talking about?"

"They are her parents." Lin Zhi had nothing to hide, so he said it directly, "Also, I dare to use the entire Zhongyi Hou Mansion as a guarantee. Everything I said today is true, and I will

There is real evidence and it is definitely not just talking."

After hearing what Lin Zhi said, Zhao Lin was furious. He had never thought that someone had done so much behind the breakup of the engagement. Especially, it was his granddaughter who was involved in the matter.

He planned it all by himself. And his son and daughter-in-law even helped in doing so many tricks. Did they really think they were dead? How dare they do so many things under his nose.

"Then why did she do this?" Zhao Lin suppressed his anger and asked.

Zhao Lin was very confused about the reason why Zhao Keren did this, because when she proposed to change the engagement candidate to her, she clearly agreed, but afterwards, why did she do so many things?

To break off this engagement? What is her purpose?

"It's very simple." Lin Zhi smiled sarcastically and continued, "How could she like a small family like our Zhongyihou Mansion? Her heart is higher than the sky, and she has already been there for a long time.

How can His Highness the Crown Prince care about the engagement with our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion!"

"You mean-" Zhao Lin was very surprised when he heard the meaning of Lin Zhi's words.

"Uncle Zhao, let me tell you the truth! Zhao Keren had already had a tryst with the prince when they were still engaged. To be honest, if Keren had told us directly, she didn't want to be with us.

I will never force a marriage in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion." Lin Zhi said, "Although our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is not as good as the royal family, it is still possible if we want to find a well-matched Crown Princess. If she can marry us directly

We would never stand in her way. However, we didn’t expect that she would frame Ran’er like this in order to break off the engagement. Now, everyone thinks that Ran’er is a frivolous person. Our Zhongyihou Mansion

It has become a joke in the entire capital."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhi looked at Zhao Lin, "Uncle Zhao, I have investigated this matter clearly. If you don't believe it, I can show you all the evidence. You should know, now

Zhao Keren has become the concubine of the crown prince. If there was no such thing, I would never dare to come to your door like this. In any case, you must give an explanation to our Zhongyihou Mansion about this matter.

.Otherwise, I won’t let you off easily even if you want to report it to the emperor.”

After hearing Lin Zhi's words, Zhao Lin's heart tightened. He knew exactly how important this matter was. If this matter was really known to the emperor, let alone the position of the lovely crown prince's concubine, even

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion would all be implicated in this. He would never have imagined that Zhao Keren would be so bold and dare to pull off such a trick, and was caught by Lin Zhi.

When Zhao Lin thought of this, he was so angry that he immediately shouted, "Here comes someone!"

Soon, a servant came in, and Zhao Lin immediately ordered, "Go to the hall right now and call the young master and his family in. Now, right away."

Seeing such an angry look, the servant didn't care how long he stayed, and immediately left towards the hall.

"Xiannephew, don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." After Zhao Lin calmed down, he turned to look at Zhao Lin and promised, "But, you still

You need to give me some time to deal with it. I hope you will give me some time for the sake of the friendship between our two families."

"Uncle Zhao, you have to know that I don't want to embarrass you." Lin Zhi said, "But in the end, this matter is all your fault. How are you going to explain it to us?"

Facing Lin Zhi's aggressive look, Zhao Lin had no choice but to ask, "Well, nephew, tell me! How do you want us to handle this matter?" 13acv.

Zhao Lin knew very well that the person who had the initiative now was definitely not him. If this matter really came out, then Zhao Keren's marriage would definitely be over, and it would be difficult to find anything in the future.

It's a good marriage. Moreover, when the time comes, it will also involve the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Also, the most important thing is that Zhao Keren is now the future crown prince's concubine. If this matter is revealed at this time, it is uncertain how the emperor will deal with it. If the emperor becomes very angry at Long Yan because of this,

Then the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will be buried with Zhao Keren.

After seeing Zhao Lin's appearance, Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, I know that now Keren is the future crown prince's concubine, and everything is a foregone conclusion, so I won't do it either.

What will you do that is too embarrassing for you? However, you also know that in the final analysis, we are the victims of this incident, and if this continues, I am afraid that the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will have a close relationship for generations.

The good situation may be broken."

"Then nephew, what do you think I should do?" Looking at Lin Zhi's appearance, Zhao Lin's eyes were dark and uncertain, because he didn't know what Lin Zhi wanted to say, and what if he didn't agree.

, does that mean that from now on, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will be in a state of hostility!

"Uncle Zhao, don't be nervous. This matter I proposed is definitely a win-win situation for both of us." Lin Zhi said with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, my request is very simple. As long as-"

In the hall——

The atmosphere in the study was not good, but the atmosphere in the hall was not much better either. After Zhao Lin left with Lin Zhi, Lin Zhou and Lin Xiran sat down. But since they sat down, they

He always said nothing. Also, Lin Zhou kept looking at Zhao Keren with a look of hatred from time to time. Lin Xiran looked at Zhao Keren with a very complicated look from time to time.

This point made Zhao Keren feel creepy and even a little restless.

Not only Zhao Keren, but also everyone else present felt very uncomfortable with the strange atmosphere. However, due to Zhao Lin's instructions before leaving, no one left.

After a while like this, a servant hurried in and said directly, "The Marquis asked the young master and his family to go to the study to see him immediately."
