If the ratio is not enough, you will see the anti-theft badge.

After 24 hours, it will return to normal.

Since he had discovered that he had been schemed against, Lin Ruhai was naturally not stupid enough to resist by himself.

He was still very self-aware. He knew that with his current ability and influence in the officialdom,

Even if he had been schemed against, there was no way he could rely on himself to take revenge.

It just so happened that Duke Rongguo, Jia Daishan, also wanted to look for him.

Today, during the morning court session, because the Emperor suddenly remembered his daughter's wedding, he asked him who his daughter's husband was as expected.

Considering that he had previously promised Lin Ruhai's request,

Jia Daishan naturally thought of a way to attract His Holiness's attention to Lin Ruhai.

His Holiness was curious,

So he casually found an excuse to meet Lin Ruhai.

In the end?

Lin Ruhai did not come at all. Instead, his superior came,

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

Even if His Holiness wanted to ask about the matter, the Chancellor, Lord Hu, knew,

But Jia Daishan, who understood His Holiness very well, could see that he was angry.

"Speak,

There was such a good opportunity today,

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

As a military general, he wanted to recommend a civil official in front of the Emperor,

Do you know how difficult it is?

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 old man Hu Yao schemed against you?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Yes!"

If it wasn't for the fact that he schemed against him,

There was no need for the Chancellor to do so when he had already returned home,

And even call him back to the Hanlin Academy.

Not only was it a thankless task,

There was also an increased risk of being discovered.

It was actually quite common in the officialdom to snatch the opportunity that belonged to a subordinate, or to take the credit of a subordinate.

After Lin Ruhai's mother had passed the High Scholar examination, she had invited a teacher to teach him the ways of being an official. Naturally, the teacher had also mentioned the various unspoken rules of officialdom. Lin Ruhai was well aware of this.

However, the actions of the Grand Secretary were clearly not for the sake of the bureaucracy.

Jia Daishan carefully recalled all the interactions he had with Hu Yao in the past. Gradually, he realized something. "You've been implicated."

Lin Ruhai was confused. "Implicated?"

He paused for a moment and quickly realized that he was a fallen noble who had just risen. He had no power or influence, so who could implicate 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 naturally had to find out who the other party was on good terms with and who they had enemies with. They also had to consider whether the benefits of a marriage alliance were more than the disadvantages of a marriage alliance.

However, Lin Ruhai's mother had never heard of Rongguo Province having a grudge against the Chancellor.

Jia Daishan's face was tired. "This Hu Yao might have already secretly joined the ranks of one of the princes."

His Holiness was healthy and healthy. At a glance, one could tell that he could still live for a few more decades.

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

Before Min 'er's accident, His Holiness and the Crown Prince had a good relationship and didn't notice that anything was wrong. He even thought that His Holiness would ascend to Nirvana in the future and that the successor would definitely be the Crown Prince and no one else.

However, Min 'er's words fiercely woke him up from his daydream. Although His Holiness and the Crown Prince were still a good father and filial son, 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 the prime of his life, while the Crown Prince had already grown up. In the future, it would be inevitable for them to fight.

In Ke Min 'er's memory, the final victor wasn't 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 didn't completely kill him out of consideration for their friendship, the Jia family's final outcome wouldn't be good.

The Crown Prince was appointed the Crown Prince from birth and was different from the other princes from a young age. 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 wouldn't have the chance to change their allegiance.

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

The reason why Lin Ruhai was targeted was most likely because someone saw that he valued Lin Ruhai and wanted to focus on nurturing him.

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

Rongguo Province still had a lot of military power in his hands. It wasn't 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 couldn't 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 even 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 Tanhua 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 wouldn't have to worry about the transition in the future.

Of course, this was on the premise that Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing were able to succeed.

If he wanted to destroy the Jia family, it would be 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. He himself had also gained a lot of experience in the officialdom. If he wanted to make a move against him, he had to be prepared to lose himself.

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

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

If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai's calmness, Hu Yao would also look down on him because of Lin Ruhai's age. At this time, it was hard to say what the result would be.

After thinking through all these twists and turns, Jia Daishan's expression became fierce. If he didn't teach Hu Yao a lesson and make an example out of him, the others would think that Lin Ruhai was a pushover!

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

As long as he still 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.

Huyu looked at Jia Min worriedly. He only obeyed Jia Shi's order and left behind Yuan Yang.

With a creak, the door of Jia Shi's room was closed by Yuan Yang.

Only Jia Min and Jia Shi 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.

Jia Shi 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 Jia Shi'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 thinking of the purpose of her visit today, she felt more uneasy and couldn't look directly at her mother's eyes full of concern.

Jia Min knew that her parents had been busy for a long time 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 yard to prepare for the wedding and not add more trouble to her parents.

But as long as she thought that her third sister, who had been happy after marriage in her previous life, would marry into the Lin family because of her and end up like her in her previous life, she felt guilty and uneasy. She even looked forward to 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 with 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 is returned to my third sister." Jia Min didn't dare to look at Jia Shi's eyes.

Madam Jashi's eyes narrowed as she looked at her daughter who had rarely made her worry since she was young. Anger gradually rose in her heart.

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

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

"For more than half a 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, in order to not make enemies with the Lin family, how much effort did your father and I put in?

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

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

Madam Jashi 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 lot of hidden power in it. 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 wasn't disappointed.

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

Jia Shi's eyes were wide open. Her eyes were full of disbelief. "You want to marry into the Lin family with your third sister's identity?

Do you know what will happen to you after this incident?

Moreover, the Lin family has never seen you. Dingnan Houfu's illegitimate son has been intimate with you before. "

Madam Jashi almost gritted her teeth when she said the last few words.

Jia Min pursed her lips. "Dingnan Houfu is already dying. Rongguo Province is now very powerful. They won't dare to do anything to my third sister.

Moreover, the original marriage was between him and my third sister. They are in the wrong and won't publicize it. "

With Rongguo Province, as long as her third sister wasn't hopelessly stupid, she would be able to gain a foothold very quickly.

But her third sister had lived a good life in her previous life. How could she be stupid?

After that, her third sister and Prince Zhou were able to marry each other in her previous life. Naturally, they could do the same in this life.

Jia Shi was so angry that she laughed. "Min 'er, I really want to open your brain and see if it's full of straw!

You've planned well for your third sister.

But what about you?

What about Rongguo Province?

What about the other girls in the Jia family?

Do you really think that the Lin family is a soft persimmon that you can bully? "

"I won't let the Lin family spread the news that the bride isn't my third sister."

Jia Min raised her head. "The Lin family is a scholarly family. They won't take revenge on Rongguo Province with the future of the girls in my family.

The original agreement was that the legitimate daughter would marry over. Father would still give them the compensation that he promised. They have no reason to become enemies with Rongguo Province. "

The marriage was a matter between the two families. The identity of the marriage partner was much more important than other conditions.

A fake legitimate daughter who was disguised as a legitimate daughter and a legitimate daughter who was raised as a legitimate wife. How could the Lin family hesitate to choose?

"All the words and deeds between Dingnan Houfu and I were done out of love and courtesy. We didn't break any rules."

Although it was against the rules for her to be "in love" with her brother-in-law, her father would not be stupid enough to reveal the truth of the marriage to the Lin family. Moreover, she would still be a virgin when she married into the family, so they would not be able to catch any mistakes.

Even if the Lin family had a grudge against her, it wouldn't affect the marriage with Rongguo Province.

And a gentleman like Ruhai wouldn't do anything to a weak girl like her.

Jia Shi was furious and slapped the bed. "Then why did you lie before?

I gave birth to you and raised you up. Did I let you die? "

If she hadn't seen the situation quickly and stopped him in time, the Marquess's whip would have torn Jia Min's tender skin.

The rims of Jia Min's eyes turned sour as she recalled the various scenes of her previous life. A question that she had originally planned to bury deep in her heart was asked just like that: "Mother, if you really had to choose between me and Rongguo Manor, what would you do?"

Jia Shi was silent. After a while, she said, "What does this have to do with what you did?"

Jia Min didn't answer. She asked again, "If what I did may endanger your status and reputation, what would you do?"

Lady Jashi became angry out of humiliation, "Are you dissatisfied with mother?"

Jia Min shook her head. "I don't dare!"
