The Little Angel who did not subscribe enough would see an anti-theft stamp. It would return to normal after 24 hours.

His Holiness was curious.

He casually found an excuse to meet Lin Ruhai.

In the end?

Lin Ruhai did not come at all.

Instead, his superior came.

He even claimed credit for himself in front of His Holiness. He said that he sympathized with his subordinates and let Lin Ruhai go home in advance when he saw that he was sick.

Even though the Chancellor Lord Hu knew what His Holiness wanted to ask, Jia Daishan, who understood His Holiness very well, could see that he was angry.

"Speak. Today was such a good opportunity.

Why didn't you catch it? "Jia Daishan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

He was a general.

Did he know how difficult it was to recommend a civil official to the Emperor?

However, the future son-in-law that he had high hopes for did not seize this rare opportunity!

Lin Ruhai thought of an excuse and hurriedly told Jia Daishan the facts and speculations that he knew without reservation.

Jia Daishan immediately frowned. "Are you saying that Hu Yao, that old man, schemed against you?"

Lin Ruhai nodded. "Yes!"

If it wasn't for scheming against him, the Chancellor wouldn't have needed to, under the circumstances that he had already returned home.

He even called him back to the Hanlin Academy.

Not only was it a thankless task, but it also increased the risk of being discovered.

Snatching away the opportunity that belonged to a subordinate.

Or taking the credit of a subordinate. This was actually quite common in the officialdom.

After Lin Ruhai became a provincial scholar, the teacher that Mother Lin invited had taught him the ways of being an official.

Naturally, he had also mentioned the various unspoken rules of the officialdom. Lin Ruhai was well aware of this.

However, the Chancellor's actions were obviously not for the sake of the officialdom.

Jia Daishan seriously recalled the scenes of interacting with Hu Yao in the past and gradually realized something. "You were implicated."

Lin Ruhai was confused. "Implicated?"

He paused and quickly realized.

He was a declining official who had just risen.

He had no power or influence.

Who else could have implicated him?

"Lord Hu has a grudge against the Duke?" Lin Ruhai's mind worked quickly. "Why haven't I heard of this before?"

If two families wanted to form a marriage alliance, they would naturally need to find out who the other party was on good terms with and who they had enemies with. They would also need to consider whether the benefits of the marriage alliance would outweigh the disadvantages.

However, Mother Lin had never heard that Rongguo Province had a feud with the Grand Chancellor.

Jia Daishan looked exhausted. "This Hu Yao might have already secretly pledged allegiance to one of the princes."

His Holiness was in good health. At a glance, one could tell that he could live for a few more decades.

However, the Crown Prince that His Holiness had appointed was already over thirty years old and was at his most high-spirited.

Previously, before Min'er's accident, he was immersed in the great situation between His Holiness and the Crown Prince. He did not notice anything wrong. He even wholeheartedly thought that in the future, His Holiness would ascend to paradise, and the successor would definitely be the Crown Prince. There would be no one else.

However, Min'er's words fiercely woke him up from his daydream. Although His Holiness and the Crown Prince were still filial, at the same time, they also had the biggest hidden danger between the successor and the successor.

The father was strong and the son was strong.

His Holiness was still in his prime, but the Crown Prince had already grown up. In the future, they would inevitably fight.

In Ke Min'er's memory, the final victor was not the Crown Prince.

Because the successor of Rongguo Province, Jia Xie, was the Crown Prince's study companion, the Jia family was naturally tied to the Crown Prince. If something happened to the Crown Prince, even if His Holiness did not completely kill him out of consideration for their friendship, the Jia family's final outcome would definitely not be good.

The Crown Prince was appointed the Crown Prince from birth. From a young age, he was different from the other princes. Now, he was directly on the opposite side of all the other princes.

In order to pull the Crown Prince down, the other princes could be said to have used all kinds of methods. They even put aside their prejudices and secretly cooperated with each other.

However, before the Crown Prince fell, they could only walk this path to the end.

However, when the Crown Prince fell, it would be the time for the Jia family to be dealt with. The Jia family would not have the opportunity to change their allegiance to another person.

Just thinking about it made Jia Daishan's heart tired.

The reason why Lin Ruhai was targeted was most likely because someone had seen how much he valued Lin Ruhai and how determined he was to nurture him.

Now that there was no war, generals were not popular, and their positions in the court were gradually weakened.

Rongguo Province still had a lot of military power in his hands. It was not obvious now, but if he kept the military power, it would attract the Emperor's fear sooner or later. Even if it was for the sake of his descendants, he could not keep the military power in his hands.

Fortunately, when Jia Daihua's eldest brother was still alive, he had already set a development plan for the Jia family to abandon Wu Congwen. Jing 'er had passed the Jinshi exam in her twenties, giving the Jia family a good start.

However, how could it be enough to have only one person in the family?

That was why he targeted Lin Ruhai, who was also of noble birth but had passed the Jinhua exam.

The Jia family had a lot of resources. If he could take the opportunity to promote Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai to high positions, the Jia family would not have to worry about the transformation of the family in the future.

Of course, this was on the premise that Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing could successfully be promoted.

If he wanted to destroy the Jia family, it was easiest and most effective to start with Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing, the two future pillars of the Jia family.

However, Jia Jing had already gained a firm foothold in the court, and he had also trained himself to be shrewd. If he wanted to make a move on him, he had to be prepared to lose himself.

Only Lin Ruhai had just entered the court, and he was young. It was easy for him to fall into the trap set by those old foxes in the court.

For example, today, he was targeted and schemed against by his immediate superior.

If Lin Ruhai had not been calm, Hu Yao would have also looked down on him because of Lin Ruhai's age. It was hard to say what would have happened at this time.

After Jia Daishan thought through all these twists and turns, his face became fierce. If he didn't teach Hu Yao a lesson, the others would think that Lin Ruhai was a pushover!

When that time came, Hu Yao wouldn't be the only people who wanted to deal with Lin Ruhai.

As long as he wanted to protect Lin Ruhai, he could only follow Lin Ruhai and run for his life.

A person's energy was limited. If he focused most of his energy on Lin Ruhai, how could he take care of the Crown Prince?

If something happened to the Crown Prince, what would happen to the Jia family?

Jia Daishan slammed the table fiercely. "Zhou Shan, give the information you collected about Hu Yao to Jing 'er. Tell him to report Hu Yao to the court tomorrow!"

As for the person behind Hu Yao?

Just wait and see. If he was a fox, he would definitely show his tail!

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lin Ruhai said a few more words to Jia Daishan and simply left.

With a creak, Yuan Yang pulled the door to Madam Jashi's room and closed it.

Only Jia Min and Madam Jashi were left in the room.

Jia Min's eyes darkened, but she didn't say anything and followed behind her.

"Sit down."

Jia Min sat down.

Madam Jashi looked at her only daughter seriously. Her eyes were obscure. "Min 'er, did you get what you wanted?"

Jia Min suddenly raised her head and happened to meet Madam Jashi's deep eyes. She almost subconsciously turned her head away.

When Jia Min reacted, she realized that her behavior would make her mother sad. But when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, her heart became more and more uneasy. She couldn't look directly into her mother's eyes, which were full of concern.

Jia Min knew that during this period of time, her parents had been busy with the things she thought of and hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

It was reasonable to say that she had gotten the result she wanted. Naturally, she should stay in the courtyard to prepare for the marriage and not add more trouble to her parents.

But as long as she thought of her third sister, who had been happy after marriage in her previous life, marrying into the Lin family because of her and ending up like her in her previous life, she felt guilty and uneasy. She was even more confused and longed for the future that originally belonged to her third sister.

She lowered her head. "Mother, I regret it."

As long as the marriage was changed, things would go back to the original track.

Her third sister would be like how she remembered. In the end, she would have children and a loving husband and wife. And she … with the memory of her previous life, at least, at least, she wouldn't end up in an early death.

And her daughter would certainly not be the same as before, living a life of "wind, frost, knives, and swords" in Rongguo Province.

That was enough.

"Mother, I've thought about it clearly these days. The Lin family is more suitable for me. Dingnan Houfu's marriage should be returned to my third sister." Jia Min didn't dare to look at Jia Shi's eyes.

Jia Shi's eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at this daughter who had rarely made her worry since childhood, a sense of anger gradually rose from the bottom of her heart.

But her expression was still calm. "Do you think the marriage is like buying jewelry?

If you don't like it, you can change it for another one? "

"In the past half month, because of your reckless behavior, in order to not let your reputation be damaged, in order to not let the other unmarried daughters of the Jia family be affected by you and in order to not become enemies with the Lin family, how much effort have your father and I made in order to not let your reputation be tarnished?

Now you're saying that you regret it as if nothing had happened before … "

"Min 'er, do you think it's possible?"

Jia Shi sat on the bed with her eyelids drooping. She looked extremely calm.

But Jia Min knew that at this time, her mother was like the sky covered with dark clouds in summer. There was a huge hidden power hidden inside. The calmer she looked on the surface, the more likely it was that she couldn't resist the thunderstorm after the explosion.

Jia Min sighed in her heart. Before she came, she was prepared to be rejected by her mother, so at this time, she was not disappointed.

"Mother, the Lin family doesn't know my third sister's and my name, and they have never seen us."
