The Regent's Tender Darling

Chapter 117 Father’s Love

"Daughter, please send greetings to your father. He is well." Lin Qingyue's crisp voice sounded in the study, her gentle and generous look was quite endearing.

Lin Qingyue also summoned up the courage to speak out. The second sister said that her father did not like timid people, so he could speak softly and gently, but he must not be timid.

Sure enough, Lin Zhengyang had a good initial impression of the daughter in front of him, and said with a kind face: "Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the third girl has grown taller. How old are you now?"

This question was inexplicably hurtful. She replied respectfully and gently: "Father, my daughter is thirteen years old."

After hearing this, Lin Zhengyang nodded in understanding. He was already thirteen years old and would be old enough to have haircuts in two years.

He suddenly thought of Aunt Sun. She had raised her daughter well over the years, so he might as well take some time to see her tonight.

"Father, my daughter came today to tell her something." After saying that, she knelt down.

Seeing this, Lin Zhengyang leaned forward a little and frowned invisibly. When he said something, he said something. He was probably asking for something when he knelt down, so he said, "Say it."

"My mother and grandmother told my daughter today that they have been betrothed to the Huang family. The Huang family is a merchant family. Although my daughter is a concubine, she comes from a scholarly family and will never marry a merchant. Now the marriage has been decided. In order not to embarrass her father and mother, my daughter is willing to die to thank her father and mother for their kindness in raising her." After saying these words in an orderly manner, she kowtowed.

At the same time, she was a little scared in her heart. After all, she had no confidence in this father, so she only relied on what her second sister told her when she left the palace.

She recited it countless times along the way, fearing that she would say it wrong at this time.

After a long time, there was no sound from above her head. As time passed little by little, she began to panic and waited quietly while resisting the urge to beg for mercy.

Here, Lin Zhengyang expressionlessly looked down at his daughter who was kneeling down, with a hint of appreciation in his mature and deep eyes.

Although there is a suspicion of disobedience, what he said is very reasonable. How can his daughter, Lin Zhengyang, marry the Jia merchant family?

He himself was unlucky enough for marrying the daughter of a businessman. Not only was he stabbed in the back every day, but he was also despised by some immortal ministers!

If he marries his daughter off again, I'm afraid he won't have the shame to stand in court!

I don't know how long it took, but Lin Qingyue, who was still scared, suddenly felt a warmth in her hand on the ground. She looked up and saw that it was her father holding her up!

"Come on, the ground is cold, get up."

Lin Zhengyang's expression was rarely gentle and kind, which surprised her, and he stood up with a slightly uneasy expression.

"Good child." Lin Zhengyang patted her hand, let go and said, "My father will make the decision for you, and I will not let you marry into a merchant's family and be ridiculed by others."

Is this... done?

She endured the joy in her heart and said submissively: "Thank you father for your love."

"Yes." Then, Lin Zhengyang regained his majestic expression and continued: "Your grandmother and mother are your elders. If you disobey your elders' wishes, it will be considered unfilial and you should be punished."

This change of attitude was not surprising to her. The second sister said that even if it happened, she would inevitably be punished.

She obeyed: "My daughter knows her mistake and is willing to be punished."

Seeing this, Lin Zhengyang nodded with satisfaction and said, "I hope you understand the general situation, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours, and that's all."
