Chapter 296

Lin Feilu sat down across from her and looked at the highly complicated nine-chain ring puzzles in her hand, “I came out with Brother Jingyuan.”

Lin Nianzhi’s eyes flashed a fierce and murderous glint, “Where is he?! Did he come here with you? Have him come over; I will beat him up to quell my anger!”

Lin Feilu, “…”

She stretched out her fingers to block Lin Nianzhi’s movements and changed the direction of one of the nine rings. She managed to untie one of the links with a click.

Lin Nianzhi threw the nine-chain ring puzzle aside, annoyed, “I don’t want to play anymore! I couldn’t solve it despite trying my best for an entire day, but you solved it as soon as you came!”

Lin Feilu smiled, “Your mind is not concentrating on it, so how could you solve it? However, what did brother-in-law do to anger you now?”

Lin Nianzhi became furious when she heard the word ‘brother-in-law’, “You are not allowed to call him brother-in-law ever again! I declare that he is not your brother-in-law from now on! I want to divorce him!”

Lin Feilu, “You say this once a year.”

Lin Nianzhi, “… This time it’s true!” She gritted her teeth angrily and spoke ragingly, “Do you know what his mother said? She said that since I couldn’t give birth to a child, she would like him to get a concubine! She also told me to be even more benevolent, saying that if I cannot bear children, at least don’t stop others from doing so!”

Lin Feilu shared her hatred, “That’s too much! How can she be like this?!”

Lin Nianzhi repeatedly nodded, “Yes! Do you think I can’t give birth to children? I just clearly don’t want to! I could give birth to an entire polo team in a flash if I wanted to!”

Lin Feilu: “…You don’t have to go that far, to be honest.”

She understood that her eldest Imperial sister had encountered a problem that caused girls of ancient times to struggle with.

She comforted her for a long time before asking, “That’s what brother-in-law thinks too?”

Lin Nianzhi paused and said awkwardly, “That’s not true. He said it’s fine as long as I’m happy, and he wouldn’t wed a concubine just for children.”

Lin Feilu, “Then why are you mad at him?”

Lin Nianzhi glared at her, “Am I not in this situation because I got married to him?! He is the culprit of my current misery!”

Lin Feilu, “…Well, full marks for logic.”

Lin Nianzhi ranted for half an hour before she finally felt a little more at ease and was not as irritable as before. Looking at the Little Fifth Princess, who picked up the nine-chain ring puzzle to play, she suddenly asked, “You’re also thirteen this year. According to the rules, Father Emperor should also choose a husband for you by now.”

Lin Feilu was so frightened that she almost broke the puzzle.

Lin Nianzhi completely forgot that she was still complaining about marrying into the Du family as she asked her excitedly, “Do you have someone you like?”

Lin Feilu shook her head frantically, “No no no no!”

Lin Nianzhi looked at her and stretched out a finger to hook her chin, “Our Little Fifth Princess is now getting more and more beautiful. Your good looks move even this eldest Imperial Princess, I wonder who will be the lucky suitor?”

Lin Feilu, “…”

She suddenly remembered something again, “It’s been three years since Xi Xingjiang went to the frontier, right?”

The Xi family had been stationed in the frontier for successive dynasties, and Xi Xingjiang was sent to the frontier army to gain some training experience three years ago. In the future, he would take over the seal of General Xi, so both the Xi family and the Imperial Court value his training very much.

Lin Feilu didn’t know why she suddenly mentioned this, but she nodded.
