Lin Yitang told Zhao Xu about the Lin family's situation and told him to make his own arrangements. She had been planning for so many years and wouldn't let the Lin family ruin her plans for no reason.

Lin Jingya knew the Lin family's character from a young age: his father was indifferent, his stepmother was cruel, and his brothers and sisters looked down on him. If it weren't for his stepmother and sister protecting him, he probably would have died long ago.

Therefore, when his sister was about to take action against those people, Lin Jingya would not hesitate.

Although the officials have mentioned this matter, the Lin family has been exiled for many years, and it is unknown whether anyone is still alive.

……

At the Ningyuan Marquis's residence, Bai Ruonan looked around and finally took a liking to Yu Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Yu family. Firstly, although they were a marquis's residence, it had long since fallen into ruin and could not help Gu Tingye go further in the court.

Secondly, the eldest daughter of the Yu family has a close relationship with Grand Tutor Yu. Although Grand Tutor Yu has retired, he still has many of his sons and disciples in the court. If they can guide Gu Tingye, he will be able to go further in the future.

In Bai Ruonan's view, although the Bai family is related to the Lin family, her mother passed away last year and her father is old. In the future, her relationship with the Lin family will become distant, and she will sometimes have to rely on herself.

In Xi Rongxuan, Qin Jianan sat in front of the Buddha and prayed again. Over the years, she had used various methods, but unfortunately, Bai Ruonan was not fooled at all and was very wary of her. She also prevented Gu Tingye and Gu Tingwei from getting along, so the two brothers were just putting on a show.

Qin Jianan prayed to Buddha day and night, and cursed Bai Ruonan every day, asking why Bai Ruonan was not dead. If she were dead, how could I, the legitimate daughter of Dongchang Prefecture, be married to Gu Yankai as a concubine?

Xiang's mother looked at Qin Jianan with heartache, seeing that Qin Jianan had been kneeling for almost an hour. Whenever the girl felt uncomfortable, she would kneel down and pray to Buddha.

"Mother Xiang, why doesn't Buddha show mercy? The Bai family is such a lowly family, yet they produced a son like Gu Tingye. Our Dongchang Marquis family is a noble and prestigious family, so why do I live like a maggot in a ditch?" Qin Jianan trembled all over.

Qin Jianan went mad after Gu Tingye passed the imperial examination. She couldn't understand why she had endured for so many years. The Dongchang Marquis's mansion still failed. Despite years of praying to gods and Buddhas, that bitch Bai Ruonan was doing better and better.

The mother immediately supported the trembling Qin Jianan, feeling distressed. She had been advising the girl to be patient, but unexpectedly, this had led to the situation.

Mother Xiang could only keep persuading him, saying that the eldest young master was in poor health and might pass away before the master, and that Gu Tingye had a bad relationship with the master, so who knew if he would still have a share in the Marquis's mansion.

The third young master is excellent in every way and filial. The lord will surely bestow the title of Marquis upon him.

These words finally persuaded Qin Jianan, who now had no choice but to rely on the title of Marquis.

On the other hand, after taking a liking to Miss Yu, Bai Ruonan first went to the Yu family, subtly revealing her intentions.

Grand Tutor Yu knew that Gu Tingye was a newly appointed Jinshi this year, and that he worked for Lin Jingya and had connections with Zhao Xu. As long as he didn't make any major mistakes, his future was sure to be bright.

……

The inner palace, Yongning Hall, the same scenery year after year. This palace is a prison for the concubines. Lin Yitang has become increasingly irritable in recent days.

The people below discovered that Prince Yong had taken action, and further investigation revealed that he was secretly colluding with Consort Rongde and also had clandestine dealings with the Cao family.

Lin Yitang put down the letter in her hand and raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected the Cao family to be so impatient. They were probably afraid that the Cao family would be plotted against after Zhao Xu ascended the throne.

Regardless of whether the Cao family has allied with the Prince of Yong, Lin Yitang will not give up on taking revenge on the Cao family, who secretly orchestrated the death of Xu'er back then.

She first informed Zhao Xu of the situation, instructing him to take precautions in secret. She also had her subordinates keep an eye on the Prince of Yong. She believed the old emperor had some tricks up his sleeve, but what if something went wrong...?
