The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Minister Lin was really afraid that Lin Qingqing would always be obsessed with the past and would never be able to let go of Mo Xiao. If that were true, her life would be ruined because her dream would never come true.

Now, she is willing to open her heart to accept new people, which truly proves that she has moved on from the past and is finally no longer focusing on Mo Xiao.

Minister Lin was filled with emotion. He tidied his daughter's hair and said softly, "As long as you are happy, I will support you no matter what you do."

"Then Liu Jingwen, if you really like it, then give it a try. I still have a few more years to live, and as long as I'm around, I won't let anyone bully you. Even if I die in the future, you still have your eldest brother, and he'll protect you. So, don't be afraid of losing, just do what you want to do."

Lin Qingqing's eyes were a little red, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Lin Shangshu's arms, choking and saying, "Father, I will never let you down again."

In the past, she was disobedient, which not only hurt herself but also hurt her parents' hearts.

Minister Lin reached out and patted her shoulder, saying softly, "Okay, there's still time for everything."

The family recognition banquet was held with great fanfare, and all the important people in the capital came to show their support. This also made Lin Qingqing completely enter everyone's sight and let everyone know that the Shangshu Mansion had a new daughter.

Coupled with the gifts from the emperor and empress, it gave Minister Lin enough face and let everyone know that Minister Lin's adopted daughter was more than just a tea girl.

After a lively day, the crowd dispersed later in the evening.

Minister Lin stood at the door to see the guests off personally, with a smile on his face. Everyone could see that he was in a good mood today.

Liu Jingwen was the last one to leave, whining and polite when he arrived at the door.

Minister Lin still looked up at Liu Jingwen, but his height did not affect his aura at all, especially when Liu Jingwen lowered his head on his own initiative.

Liu Jingwen felt uncomfortable being looked at by Minister Lin, so he said stiffly, "Congratulations, Minister, on the birth of your daughter."

Minister Lin said with a forced smile: "You seem to be chatting happily with my daughter today. How come we've known each other before?"

Liu Jingwen's scalp tingled, and he said with a guilty conscience, "I, I often go to teahouses and have met the ladies a few times, but I'm not familiar with them."

Minister Lin said sarcastically, "I heard you came from a poor family and couldn't even afford to eat before you passed the imperial examination. How could you still have the energy to drink tea?"

Liu Jingwen was sweating profusely as he stammered, "No, it's not for fun. I just went there occasionally to sit and chat. I didn't drink tea."

After all, the tea in Lin Qingqing's teahouse is not cheap.

Unexpectedly, Minister Lin sneered again: "If my daughter's teahouse is full of customers like you who just sit around and don't drink tea, I'm afraid it will be closed soon."

Liu Jingwen: “…”

He realized that Minister Lin just disliked him and was targeting him, so no matter what he said, it was wrong.

Liu Jingwen decided not to say anything and said politely, "I'll take my leave."

Minister Lin raised an eyebrow and asked jokingly, "You were so eloquent and argumentative in the court, why did you back out so quickly today?"

Liu Jingwen had a dry expression. He couldn't say: You are Lin Qingqing's father, I dare not provoke you, so I have to please you?

He smiled and said, "Today, the Shangshu is the host and I am the guest. I am here to congratulate you, not to oppose you."

"Since you are not happy with me, I think I have done something wrong. I will definitely correct it in the future. I hope you will give me a chance."
