1783 The Lin Familyâs Visit 6
âNo,â Lin Jiaxing responded firmly. âYour grandfather was a kind-hearted man who never held grudges against anyone. The Lin Family enjoyed its glory as an imperial family, and when your grandfather sensed something amiss, he chose to withdraw. Your mother was also known for her kindness and never harbored enmity towards anyoneâŠâ
âHow come?â Lin Jiaxing asked, sounding very concerned.
Her uncle gave the answer within such a short while, only because her grandpa and mother might be least likely to have become enemies with anyoneâŠ
Then her venom could not have been related to the Lin Family.
Could the origin of the venom have something to do with Golden Rolls?
The door to enchantment was opened and Golden Rolls should have been there apart from the sword. But the Golden Rolls were gone. She was drugged and could the person who took away Golden Rolls also drugged her?
Golden Rolls were very important⊠just look at how desperate Piaomiao Pavilion was.
And they came to Phoenix Girl directly for Golden Rolls, which meant that Golden Rolls were supposed to be in the hands of Phoenix Girl after all.
Then it might be a little difficult to find the solution.
âChaoyan?â Lin Jiaxing felt even more worried seeing her absent-minded behavior. He called her by the name.
Gu Chaoyan instantly brought herself back, smiling. âUncle, sorry. It is just some minor thing that I believe might have been related to our family. Donât worry.â
âI am now the Queen and the Gu Family is not my own home, but the Lin Family is. You have now become the imperial familyâs relative!â
âWhat do you want for the Lin Family? The rank? Jiashuâs marriage? And the Lin Familyâs stores and businessâŠâ
âIf the Lin Family had a rank, Jiashu would have a better future.â
âThe King has expressed his willingness to grant the Lin Family a rank,â Gu Chaoyan revealed, her smile growing wider. âJiashu has successfully passed the examination, which opens the path for him to serve the court. Uncle, you can continue managing the stores and enjoy a comfortable life at the mansion. Once the rank is finalized, Jiashuâs marriage can be arranged by the Ministry of Rites. Alternatively, he can choose a girl he likes, and the King will bestow his blessing upon their union.â
âThey have finished selecting the gifts, and itâs getting late. Uncle, please take them back home. We will arrange for the items Aunt has chosen to be delivered from the court tomorrow.â
As Lin Jiaxing was about to say something, he noticed Gu Chaoyan rubbing her temples, a sign of fatigue. He decided against voicing his concerns at that moment.
Being the Queen came with many responsibilities and challenges. Lin Jiaxing understood the weight on her shoulders and chose not to burden her further.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lin returned from her distraction and hurried back upon hearing that they were leaving. However, to her disappointment, she only found Lin Jiaxing waiting outside the palace, and the absence of the Queen made her smile fade.
Why was the Queen avoiding her?
With a solemn expression, Mrs. Lin boarded the wagon without uttering a word. Once settled, she couldnât contain her curiosity any longer. âWhat did she talk to you about?â she asked, her voice filled with apprehension.
âShe was dodging me! She just did not want to give us anything. But her mother took half of the Lin Familyâs properties.!â
