Old Fu stood in front of the Lin Manor.
Boxes of heavy items landed on the ground.
These were all Lin Xianhong's personal belongings.
Ning Que had decided to divorce his wife, so he had to make things clear.
He didn't want a single item that belonged to her.
And as for Ning Royal Mansion's possessions, she shouldn't even think of claiming them!
At this moment, there were also some passersby in front of the Lin Manor.
Upon seeing Old Fu, they all looked as if they were watching a good show.
Who in Chang'an City didn't know about the affairs of Ning Royal Mansion?
The dignified Heir of Prince Ning was actually a lovesick fool.
What a pity…
The person you love often hurts you the most!
Lin Xianhong had an abortion privately to save Gu Yuan.
Completely disregarding the bloodline and reputation of Ning Royal Mansion.
“I bet they’ve come to offer gifts and beg for forgiveness.”
“Does that even need to be said?”
“Just tell me, how many times has this happened over the years?”
“Have they changed? It’s just old wine in new bottles!”
“Haha, exactly.”
Not to mention these passersby.
Even the Lin family servants were full of mockery.
They were typical examples of people who lorded it over others by relying on their master’s power.
Lin Xianhong marrying Ning Que was indeed marrying above her station.
But Ning Que happened to be a lovesick fool.
He was even polite to these servants.
But they were just cheap!
When treated well, they instead became arrogant.
Completely forgetting their status and hierarchy!
Mere servants dared to act wild towards the Heir!
Old Fu swept his gaze across them, his expression cold.
He memorized each and every one of them.
Finally, the main gate of the Lin Manor opened.
Lin Jiang slowly walked out.
He looked down at Old Fu and the others.
“What are you doing here now?”
“Didn’t the Heir already decide to divorce his wife?”
“My Lin family cannot possibly associate with your Prince’s Manor.”
“Take all your things back; we wouldn’t dare accept them.”
“Lest someone gossips and says our Lin family is taking advantage of the Prince’s Manor.”
Lin Jiang’s official position was indeed not high.
But having been in officialdom for many years, he was also an old hand.
This was a typical case of him wanting to have his cake and eat it too.
He wanted to earn money while maintaining his pride!
This wasn't the first time he had done something like this.
He achieved his current standing by relying on his original wife's power.
But he secretly had an outside mistress and caused the death of his original wife.
Mainly, he had experience with this.
Lin Xianhong was not returning to her maiden home for the first time.
Previously, after being drugged and spending a night with Ning Que.
When she woke up, she rode a carriage back.
Ning Que initially refused to back down.
In less than three days, he obediently came to apologize.
And also sent many valuable treasures.
See, aren't they back again?
However, this time, they still needed a good lesson.
Otherwise, how would they control Ning Que in the future?
As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
Ning Que was still the Heir of Prince Ning after all.
And he also had some ways of making money.
Like that Heaven on Earth, it was quite good.
This time, Ning Que even dared to clamor about divorcing his wife.
If he wasn't taught a lesson, he might rebel against the heavens!
“Patriarch Lin has misunderstood.”
“These are all the Second Miss Lin’s belongings.”
Old Fu remained expressionless.
However, they hadn't completely fallen out yet.
No matter how desolate Ning Royal Mansion was, it was still a Prince of Great Feng!
There was no need to argue with a small family like the Lins in the street.
The Lin family was accustomed to being shameless.
They already didn't have a good reputation in Chang'an City.
But Ning Royal Mansion couldn't be like that!
Besides, Ning Que had already said it.
When he got married, he invited the nobles of Chang'an.
He held a grand banquet, with hundreds of tables!
So, his divorce also had to be open and aboveboard!
He wanted to tell everyone in Chang'an City!
That he and Lin Xianhong had no further relationship!
Lin Jiang, however, didn't understand the meaning behind these words.
He still confidently waved his sleeve.
“You don’t need to loiter at the gate anymore.”
“With the Heir’s temper, we wouldn’t dare accept them.”
“It’s just a small matter, and he’s always talking about divorcing his wife.”
“Now he’s running back to send gifts, what does that mean?”
“If the Heir wants to retract his decision, then please ask the Heir to personally come to our door, and at that time, make everything clear. So that outsiders don’t say my Lin family is being clingy and taking advantage of the Prince’s Manor.”
Lin Jiang’s attitude seemed firm.
But in reality, he was saying the opposite.
A typical case of wanting to have his cake and eat it too!
“Haha, this time there’s a show to watch.”
“Do you think the Heir of Prince Ning will come?”
“He’s definitely coming!”
“Last time, he even bought all the peach blossoms in the city.”
“Do you know about last year? He bought several shops.”
“Tsk tsk tsk… the Heir is truly a lovesick fool!”
The extras and passersby were watching the excitement, not caring about the trouble.
Most of them were just ordinary people.
And Ning Que was a high and mighty Prince’s Heir!
Gossiping about such people could also satisfy their psychological needs.
Old Fu frowned, truly laughing in anger.
Did they really think the Heir would tolerate everything?
Everyone has their own bottom line.
Ning Que indulged Lin Xianhong because she was his wife!
And, keeping in mind that Lin Xianhong had fulfilled the Princess Consort’s last wish.
She finally got pregnant, but then she privately had an abortion.
Merely to save Gu Yuan!
To save her unforgettable white moonlight!
No man could tolerate such an insult!
“Patriarch Lin has misunderstood.”
“These are all Second Miss Lin’s personal belongings.”
“Since the Heir has decided to divorce his wife, he will not change his mind.”
“Today is to settle everything clearly.”
“All of Second Miss Lin’s things are here.”
“And please, Patriarch Lin, check if anything is missing.”
The smile on Lin Jiang’s face gradually disappeared.
Replaced by a look of utter shock.
“What did you say?”
Old Fu couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.
He just clapped his hands.
The servants immediately opened the wooden boxes.
These were all Lin Xianhong’s personal items.
Like rouge and powder, clothes and skirts.
Even the bronze mirror used for her makeup was there.
“Oh my, is the Heir serious this time?”
“Good heavens, is he going to completely draw a line?”
“This is kicking Miss Lin out of the family!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, this is going to be interesting.”
“…”
“What did you say?!”
At this moment, Lin Qinghuan rushed out.
She had a sword at her waist, her face full of anger.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“It’s better to settle things clearly.”
Old Fu was neither humble nor arrogant.
He looked at Lin Qinghuan, completely unfazed.
This was also an ungrateful wretch!
Ning Que had worried himself sick for her.
He went to great lengths to get her into the Six Arts Academy.
But what was the result? She didn’t even consider Ning Que important.
After many years of marriage, she had never even called him brother-in-law.
“Since that is the case, then I shall take my leave.”
“If there are any issues, you can also come to the Prince’s Manor to settle them clearly.”
Old Fu cupped his hands in a salute.
He no longer bothered with Lin Qinghuan’s entanglement.
He got into the carriage and led his people away directly.
“What are you all looking at?”
“All of you, hurry up and scram.”
Lin Qinghuan, her face flushed, threw a tantrum.
The passersby also knew her character.
They didn’t argue with her and dispersed.
“This… this…” Lin Jiang immediately looked worried and quickly said, “He can’t really be divorcing her, can he?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Lin Qinghuan, however, wouldn’t believe it until she saw the coffin.
Then, as if she thought of something.
“I know!”
“I didn’t expect Ning Que to be so devious this time!”
“He’s just deliberately trying to scare us!”
“He just wants us to admit our mistake voluntarily.”
Lin Qinghuan looked at the carriage leaving in the distance.
“A dignified man, yet so calculating.”
“Father, look at these things!”
“He’s so petty, completely without grace.”
“He can’t compare to General Gu at all.”
Lin Qinghuan angrily flicked her sleeve, gritting her teeth and saying, “Father, don’t bother with it. He thinks sending a steward to put on a show can make us admit our mistake. I just don’t understand, what is he so particular about? My second sister is still sick in bed, but he doesn’t care at all. This matter cannot be settled like this, I’m going to find him now, I must scold him until he wakes up!”
