Chapter 205: Mess Up
From Lin Qi being framed and imprisoned to being acquitted, this went through twists and turns, and the details were told to him by Lin Qingge after Lin Qi came back.
Of course, Lin Qingge didn't want his father to worry too much, so he only picked up the matter of how the prime minister set up this time.
After listening to his daughter's words, Lin Qi was silent for a long time.
Lin Qingge knew that his father was very uncomfortable now, the Lin family had always adhered to their duties and was content with business, just as the so-called business was in business, how could they ever want to be forced to be involved in the rights and wrongs of the power struggle in the court.
In the past, she Lin Qingge was also like her father who didn't want to cause trouble, let alone participate in the fight.
However, she is not a good-natured person. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone sins against me, I will offend.
Lin Qingge didn't want the prime minister to take advantage of their Lin family after framing his father, so he made a suggestion to his father.
"Father, our Lin family has been in business for generations, and we will never provoke right and wrong, but now that you are innocently framed, it is just that the prime minister has declared a personal vendetta for one of his collateral relatives, and he has made something out of nothing. β
When Lin Qi heard this, his face showed helplessness.
"Hey...... Shinong businessmen, we businessmen are the most easily oppressed people. β
Seeing her father's helpless look, Lin Qingge shook her head, she didn't agree with her father or even the mainstream views of the world.
"We merchants have made great contributions to the entire dynasty, although we are said to be farmers and merchants, but we still have the ability to protect ourselves and even change our disadvantages, which is our wealth. β
They are merchants, and the wealth of merchants is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon to protect merchants.
Hearing this, Lin Qi frowned first, and then thought about it and looked at his daughter, for the first time he found that his daughter, who used to like to hide behind him and had never been careless, had suddenly grown up and could take charge of herself.
Suddenly, an inexplicable taste came to his heart, and Lin Qi looked at his daughter with a relieved gaze.
"I was innocently framed, daughter, you tried your best to save my father from prison, it's really hard for my good daughter. β
Lin Qingge shook his head.
Lin Qi was even more relieved to see that his daughter was so sensible.
"I didn't expect my girl to have grown into a reliable adult, Qingyu, I know you have an idea in your heart now, you might as well tell your father, and your father can also refer to it." β
Many people who know and are familiar with the second miss of the Lin family think that the second miss is lively and lively, with a kind of free and straightforward children of the rivers and lakes, but few people know that the second miss is a woman who is both civil and military.
The Lin family has been in business for generations, and has pursued the golden mean for generations, so today Lin Qingge is still very worried that her father is unwilling to accept her ideas, and still intends to uphold a neutral position.
In order to rescue his father, Lin Qingge has already exposed some of the hidden strength of the Lin family, and now the entire court knows one or two, if their Lin family still intends to be neutral at this time, it is really taking the initiative to put the Lin family in a disadvantageous passive state.
"Father, daughter thinks that now the prime minister and others must be unwilling to let go of our Lin family like this, and it is impossible for us to be neutral. So, we have to make a choice. β
When Lin Qingge said this, Lin Qi, as a father, naturally understood what his daughter meant.
He remembered that he had come back all the way back and heard a report from his subordinates, and this time his daughter was running around and he came out largely thanks to one person.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi decided to invite the Seventh Prince to come to the Lin Mansion for a while.
"I heard that thanks to the help of the Seven Princes this time, why don't we invite the Seven Princes to come to the mansion for a gathering, I have to thank them. β
Smart people talk to the point, Lin Qi has already agreed with his daughter's idea, so he plans to meet the Seventh Prince first.
So there was a secret room meeting.
Lin Qingge told Xiao Muyang that he invited him to come this time, one is to thank him, and the other is to protect himself.
The meaning of the word self-protection is much heavier than the pronunciation of the word thanks, Xiao Muyang smiled faintly and did not speak.
Lin Qi and Lin Qingge glanced at each other, the father and daughter had already discussed to make a statement and make a choice of position.
Among them, Xiao Muyang, the seventh prince, lent a helping hand to their Lin family when it was in danger and did not take the opportunity to force Lin Qingge to do things, which is already the thing that can best see his character.
Lin Qingge didn't actually believe that the appearance of the Seventh Prince was a coincidence, but from the previous point of view, it was enough to choose him as a partner.
There are almost no people who don't ask for anything in return, and interests are the key to linking her with him, the Lin family and the Seven Princes.
As Lin Qingge herself said, she begged the Lin family to be safe and protect herself, and for this reason, the Lin family needed to seek a backer.
Lin Qi bowed to Xiao Muyang, the seventh prince, and directly expressed his attitude and that of the Lin family.
"Lin suffered an unwarranted disaster this time, thanks to the Seven Princes who sent charcoal in the snow, so that the little girl successfully rescued Lin, this kindness Lin is unforgettable, as long as the Seven Princes are in need in the future, Lin will be generous to help. β
After speaking, Lin Qi bowed deeply again.
On behalf of the Lin family, Lin Qi showed Xiao Muyang the attitude of the Lin family, that is, to help Xiao Muyang with all his strength in the future.
Lin Qingge looked up at Xiao Muyang, his eyes exploring.
Facing the gaze of the Lin family's father and daughter, Xiao Muyang pondered for a moment and then bowed to Lin Qi in return.
"The Lin family has been conscientious and conscientious for generations, and there has never been a mistake, which is obvious to everyone. Now I am really ashamed that I am valued by the Lin family for my modest efforts, but since the two of you have already explained, then I will not shirk either, I will try my best to take care of the Lin family, just as Miss Lin said, so that the Lin family can sit here. β
Is it really so good to say yes?
Lin Qingge already felt that Xiao Muyang's appearance was a coincidence, and she still didn't think that his appearance and his help to her were just coincidences.
He, really has no other purpose?
She didn't believe it.
Xiao Muyang saluted slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the woman's inquiring and suspicious gaze falling on him, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded in his heart.
It's a very guarded little girl, but it's also the partner he needs.
Lin Qingge didn't hold back and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, your easy promise to me feels a little unreal, what is your purpose?"
Lin Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Qingyu, don't be rude." β
Xiao Muyang didn't have the slightest trace of anger on his face when he heard this, he looked at Lin Qingge and smiled.
"I don't think there is such a thing as pie falling from the sky in vain, but you don't have to worry, Miss Linβbecause my purpose is the same as yours. β
At the beginning, Lin Qingge was very suspicious of the timing of Xiao Muyang's appearance, and now that he admitted it himself, she wanted to know what his purpose was.
Of course, because of his help before, even now that he admits that his purpose is not simple, she is not surprised in her heart.
On the contrary, Xiao Muyang generously admitted that he had an ulterior purpose, but let her put her suspicious heart back to its original place.
