I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Lin Qinshuang slowly stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and the cold wind blew in with snowflakes, instantly soaking her clothes and bringing a biting chill.

She was completely unaware of this, and just stared out the window at the night shrouded in wind and snow, her gaze deep and distant.

"Changze, don't worry about these things. Your aunt will be able to protect you."

Lin Qinshuang's voice was very soft, but it was like a huge rock, hitting Lin Changze's heart heavily.

Lin Qinshuang turned around and stared at Lin Changze with burning eyes, "I just want to tell you that there are people in the court who are plotting a rebellion!"

rebellion!

These two words exploded in Lin Changze's ears like thunder, shaking his heart and soul.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, his body trembling slightly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.

"Aunt, this...how is this possible?"

Lin Qinshuang walked to the desk, took out a wolf-hair brush from the pen holder, and slowly wrote two words on the paper: Prince Yong, Prince Yan.

"Who else could it be besides them?"

Lin Qinshuang put down her pen and spoke in a stern tone, "Prince Yong is ambitious and has long coveted the throne. Prince Yan is treacherous and cunning, and skilled in disguise. Of the two of them, one openly recruits troops, while the other secretly hoards food and fodder. Their wolfish ambitions are obvious!"

Lin Changze looked at the two words on the paper, and his heart was filled with shock.

Although he was in the court, he had never imagined that the internal struggle within the royal family had reached such a level.

"Aunt, what should we do now?"

Lin Changze's voice was a little flustered. After all, he was young and had never experienced such a dangerous situation.

Lin Qinshuang walked up to him, stretched out her hand, and gently patted his shoulder, her eyes firm and steady.

"Nagaze, don't panic."

Her voice was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, dispelling the coldness in Lin Changze's heart.

"At this moment, we must remain calm, conduct secret investigations, collect evidence, and at the same time, prepare for the worst."

Lin Qinshuang walked to the desk, took out a secret letter from the secret compartment and handed it to Lin Changze.

"This is a secret letter I wrote to His Majesty. You must personally present it to His Majesty tomorrow morning. Remember, not a single word of this matter can leak out."

Lin Changze took the secret letter with his hands trembling slightly. He knew that this letter was related to the fate of the entire Daliang and the life and death of their Lin family.

"Aunt, I understand."

Lin Changze took a deep breath, carefully put the secret letter into his arms, and responded in a firm tone.

"Nagaze, remember, the situation in the court is very complicated. You must be cautious and careful at every step."

Lin Qinshuang walked to the window and looked out again. The wind and snow were still raging, as if they were going to swallow everything.

"Prince Yong and Prince Yan are not easy to deal with. Since they dare to hoard food and fodder so blatantly, they must have something to rely on. You must not take it lightly."

"Don't worry, aunt. I will be careful."

Lin Changze nodded. He knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.

"Also, you must always pay attention to the movements in the court, especially those ministers who are close to Prince Yong and Prince Yan. Their every move may reveal some clues."

Lin Qinshuang's voice was low and powerful, and every word struck Lin Changze's heart.

"Aunt, I understand."

Lin Changze nodded again. He felt sweat oozing out of his palms.

"Changze, you must remember that our Lin family has been loyal for generations. We will never let those traitors succeed."

Lin Qinshuang turned around, stared at Lin Changze with burning eyes, and spoke in a strong and powerful tone.

"Aunt, I, Lin Changze, swear to defend the Song Dynasty to the death and will never let you down!"

Lin Changze straightened his back, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. It seemed as if he had shed his childishness in an instant and turned into a real man.

Lin Qinshuang looked at Lin Changze, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes. She knew that this nephew did not disappoint her.

"Go, Nagasawa, remember, be careful."

Lin Qinshuang waved her hand, signaling Lin Changze to leave.

Lin Changze looked at Lin Qinshuang deeply, then turned and left the study.

He walked out of the study and the cold wind blew in his face, making him instantly more sober.

Lin Changze clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he must find out the truth. He would definitely protect the Song Dynasty, his aunt and sister Moer.

A few days later, the snow had cleared and the sky was clear, but the cold wind was still blowing, making the branches rustle.

The wheels of the carriage from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion rolled over the bluestone road, making a dull sound, and stopped in front of the Sheng Mansion.

Mrs. Wu was wearing a pomegranate red brocade jacket, her plump face full of smiles, and she was helped out of the carriage by her maid.

Behind her, followed a young man in a royal blue brocade robe. He was none other than Liang Han, the youngest son of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion. He had a handsome face, but was a bit reserved as a teenager.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Ruofu personally went to the front hall, smiling and greeting warmly.

She glanced at Liang Han and was secretly delighted. This young man was handsome and had a good family background. It would be nice if he could marry Rulan.

"Oh, sister, how come you have time to come to my house today?"

Wang Ruofu took Madam Wu's hand and exchanged warm greetings. She then instructed Madam Liu, "Go quickly and dress up the fifth young lady and bring her here to meet the guests."

Nanny Liu understood what she meant, bowed and stepped back, then hurried towards Rulan's yard.

Wang Ruofu turned to look at Liang Han again, her smile growing wider. "This must be Liu Lang, he's really a handsome young man. Come and sit down, come and sit down."

Liang Han was a little shy and politely bowed to Wang Ruofu before sitting down.

While Wang Ruofu was chatting with Madam Wu, she secretly looked at Liang Han, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

She sent someone to the princess's residence to report that Madam Wu was visiting and wanted to invite Lin Qinshuang to entertain the guests.

When Lin Qinshuang heard this, she frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then instructed the maid.

"Well, I'm free anyway, so why not go and take a look?"

Minglan was embroidering a handkerchief by the window. The needle and thread moved between her slender fingertips, embroidering lifelike magnolia flowers.

She heard the maids whispering, vaguely mentioning Madam Wu and Liulang Liang Han, and her heart couldn't help but move.

She put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and walked into the yard. She happened to meet Molan and Rulan coming together, so she greeted them with a smile.

"Are you two sisters going to the front hall?"

Minglan spoke in a cheerful tone with just the right smile on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Molan.

Today, Molan wore a water-green jacket embroidered with plum blossom branches, which made her skin look even whiter than snow and her face look even more beautiful.

Hearing this, she stopped, glanced at Minglan lightly, and a barely perceptible sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't go."

Her tone was cold and a bit arrogant. "Entertaining guests is the job of my stepmother and mother. We should just do our own thing. Why bother joining in the fun?"
