Entering the main hall, this time only Lord Lin was there.

Shen Yueqiao and Lin Hongle saluted Lord Lin at the same time. Lord Lin took a look at the cloak on Lin Hongle and was a little surprised.

She was not surprised that the clothes were made entirely of brocade, but she was surprised that her son seemed to be quite favored by Shen Yueqiao.

Think about his father, could he have taught his son all those tricks in bed?

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly. A big reason why she liked Minister Xun was that he was very good at serving people, which was something she could not feel from her master. But she did not expect that he would be so despicable as to teach those strange skills to his own son!

"Stand up." Lord Lin did not let them sit down, but waved his hand casually.

"Mother, Qiao'er has something to tell you. Can we let Hongle go see his father first?" Shen Yueqiao felt Lin Hongle's nervousness and spoke out.

"Well, Hongle, you go!" Lord Lin also wanted to test Shen Yueqiao's attitude. It was not appropriate for Lin Hongle to be here.

When only Lord Lin and Shen Yueqiao were left in the room, Lord Lin looked at Shen Yueqiao and said, "Your mother has already registered you for the Tongsheng exam. How are you preparing?"

"Mother, I haven't started preparing yet." Shen Yueqiao told the truth.

"Yueqiao, although I am the Minister of Rites, your mother still cannot do something like favoritism and corruption." Lady Lin was not at all surprised by Shen Yueqiao's answer. She could only tell the truth.

"Mother, Qiao'er will definitely pass the examination for students with advanced degrees. This is not worth your worry." Shen Yueqiao said with great confidence, which surprised Lord Lin a little.

She originally wanted to take the initiative and make Shen Yueqiao think twice even if he wanted to make a fuss, but she didn't expect Shen Yueqiao to ignore her.

"That's good. What brings you back this time?" Lord Lin decided to take the initiative.

"Yueqiao just heard some bad rumors about Hongle recently," Shen Yueqiao paused and continued, "Yueqiao knows that this matter was spread by Fang Yuan, the second daughter of the Minister of War. However, the Lin and Fang families are about to become relatives. Yueqiao wants to ask her mother for advice. If Yueqiao goes to the door, will it affect the relationship between the Lin and Fang families?"

Lady Lin was stunned. She seemed to have not expected Shen Yueqiao to have this attitude. She originally thought that Shen Yueqiao didn't like Lin Hongle and might take the opportunity to come to him to get some benefits.

"It's not a wise move to just go to their house and make trouble. What do you think, Yueqiao?" Lord Lin had changed his opinion of Shen Yueqiao, and she said carefully.

"Of course, mother, please rest assured." Originally, Shen Yueqiao didn't want to talk about this matter when school started today, but he used it as an introduction.

After a few more words, Shen Yueqiao made an excuse to go find Lin Hongle and walked out.

Looking at Shen Yueqiao's back, Lord Lin seemed to be thinking about something.

Lin Hongle brought Lin Liu to Xun Changshi's room. When his father saw him wearing a gorgeous brocade cloak, his attitude towards him became much better.

The father and son were chatting when the door suddenly opened, and Lin Hongyu rushed in with Lin Si as usual.

His father was a noble attendant, and was superior to the attendants, so the attendant Xun still greeted him with a smile.

"Fourth Young Master, you are here?" He said with a smile. The Fourth Young Master was about to marry into the Minister of War's Mansion and his future was limitless.

Lin Hongyu had heard the servants report the magnificent scene when Lin Hongle returned home a long time ago, and he was angry. He thought that Shen Yueqiao would not speak so quickly to his mother, so he came to make trouble for Lin Hongle, and it would be best if he could take the Yunjin cloak for himself.

But when he saw Lin Hongle's appearance clearly, he was completely furious!

Although he was not wearing that gorgeous clothes, the jewel hairpin on his head was so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off it. Moreover, he was smiling and looked in very good spirits. All this showed that Lin Hongle was living very well in the Shen Mansion!

However, he could feel Fang Zhi's indifference towards him more and more recently. Fang Zhi's eyes looked at him without any affection, which made him feel very confused. Now that he saw Lin Hongle was living a good life, how could he bear it?

"Fourth brother." Lin Hongle saluted with a smile. In Lin Hongle's heart, although Lin Hongyu had also taken advantage of his misfortune during those three years, their relationship was still pretty good before. It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, but they can never go back to the past.

"Lin Hongle!" Lin Hongyu gritted his teeth and said, "Are you back here to show off? You are still so mean!"

"Ah? Fourth brother, what did you say?" When Lin Hongle heard the word "cheap", he immediately thought of the shameful past and his expression became unnatural.

"Why did you seduce my wife's elder sister? If you do these things, how will you be able to stand firm when I marry you in the future?" Lin Hongyu was furious!

When he learned about this yesterday, he attributed Fang Zhi's coldness towards him to this incident and to Lin Hongle.

"Fourth brother, I, I didn't..." Lin Hongle was speechless. He had no way to explain. His wife did not tell him the truth yesterday, so he didn't know.

"You bitch!" Lin Hongyu got angry when he saw Lin Hongle's pale face. He raised his hand and was about to slap him.

But just as he raised his hand into the air, it was grabbed by another hand.

Lin Hongyu was startled, only to see a woman he had never seen before grabbing his arm with a stern face.

"You, who are you! Let me go!" Lin Hongyu cursed while struggling hard.

Shen San let go of his hand with an indifferent look on his face, and said unceremoniously: "It's my duty, I hope the Fourth Young Master will forgive me."

"You!" Lin Hongyu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

When Lin Hongle saw Shen San, his eyes lit up. Shen San was there, which meant his wife was here!

He immediately stood up and wanted to go out to greet him, but he was a little timid because Lin Hongyu was standing at the door.
