She had never been in love in modern times, but she knew how it felt. He knew that she had other feelings for Gu Junxiu. However, as a prince, he had a position below a single person and above everyone else. It was impossible for him to be together for a lifetime. She could only escape as soon as possible. Hearing Xiao Qi's words, she said with an expressionless face,

"Then thank Your Highness for me." With regards to her current state, Xiao Qi had no choice. He could only give her a disgusted look before quickly turning around and leaving.

As for Lin Fan, he could only walk around the villa. If he wanted to go out, there would be people who would immediately invite him back. Because he was worried about the Lin Family's matters, he had been planning on leaving.

"Master, please go back! If there's anything you need, you can tell us to do it. "

Although the attendant was polite, his tone was firm. Lin Feng felt as if he was being placed under house arrest. He immediately said angrily,

"Hurry up and get out of the way. Don't you know who I am?"

The two attendants' expressions did not change. As they guarded the gate, Lin Fan was unable to take a single step out of the Manor.

"Master, this is the order from the Manor Owner, please go back." The attendant looked at him coldly as he spoke.

Lin Fan could feel the gazes from the surroundings slowly gathering towards him. He could not help but feel embarrassed. He left angrily, but didn't give up the idea of leaving this place. They hadn't gone far when they heard the two attendants say,

"He really thinks that he's still the Prime Minister. If it wasn't for our Manor Owner, he would already be a ghost in the Underworld."

The other attendant also echoed his words, and he could hear the ridicule in their tone. Lin Fan had never been treated like this and was already furious in his heart. However, when he realized what they said was the truth, he became dispirited. He could only ignore the discussion behind him and walk back to his room with heavy steps.

When Lin Zian returned to the Villa, there was immediately someone who told him what happened today. His cold, sword-like eyebrows deeply furrowed. Seeing that the candles in Lin Fan's room were still brightly lit, he finally pushed open the door and entered.

Because of the matter of Lin Fan almost being beheaded, he seemed to have aged ten years in the past few days, and an old look appeared on his face. It was vastly different from the elegant look he had before.

He was originally sitting dumbfoundedly in front of Candle, but when he heard the sound of footsteps and turned his head to see Lin Zian, he immediately scolded.

"You unfilial son, could it be that you want to put me under house arrest here?"

The sarcasm on his cold face stood in front of the forest and said,

"If it weren't for me being an unfilial child, I'm afraid you wouldn't be alive to sit here right now."

Lin Fan still had a bit of conscience in his heart. His attitude was a bit better, and his voice became a lot gentler.

"I can't stay in the Villa all the time, or the entire Lin Palace. If Gu Junxiu doesn't catch me, what happens if I implicate them?"

The mockery in Lin Zian's eyes grew deeper. He had always thought of himself as a member of the Lin Clan, but he had never thought of him as his legitimate son.

Seeing that he was silent, Lin Fan immediately asked anxiously.

"Did something happen to the Lin Clan?" He reverted to his usual indifference and said,

"The Lin Residence is fine. His Majesty is an enlightened ruler. He wouldn't do something like that." When Lin Fan heard this, he felt as if he had exploded. His face was completely red as he said this.

"He is just a useless monarch. If he was like the previous Emperor, the Xiyue Kingdom would definitely be much more powerful now."

When he had just become Prime Minister, he had a burst of ambition in his heart. At that time, he was also extremely loyal to the imperial government. However, after Gu Qingcheng became the current emperor, he had a completely different personality compared to the previous emperor. Almost all of his memorials would be rejected. Slowly, he forgot his initial ambition and started to amass wealth, but he did not expect Gu Junxiu to discover all of this so quickly.

His face flickered in the flickering candlelight. The indifference on Lin Zian's face did not decrease in the slightest as he coldly said this.

"So you can plunder the cream?"

Although he was not involved in government affairs, he knew that the current emperor was well-received by many citizens. It was completely unlike how Lin Fan had described him as lacking in power.

Although he was someone who had just returned from the gates of hell, he had never felt any regret in his heart. He said as a matter of fact,

"I have done so much for the Xiyue Kingdom, it is not wrong for me to take something that belongs to me. If it wasn't for Gu Junxiu, I would still be the prime minister of a hundred officials. "

Lin Zian only found out why he was pressed onto the guillotine after checking around in the capital. When he first found out, there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.

Although he rarely returned to the Lin Family, he still understood what kind of person Lin Fan was. However, when he saw the massive sum of money in the Lin Family's account book, he truly regretted saving him.

However, since they were connected by blood, even if he was unwilling, it was impossible for him to hand his father over. Thus, he could only imprison him within the villa. Lin Yemao had always threatened him with the authority of his father.

"I am your father. You've personally placed me under house arrest. Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Lin Zian's expression did not change, ignoring the ruckus he caused at the back, he turned and left the room. Although Yiyun Villa was hidden, with Gu Junxiu's ability, he estimated that he would be able to find this place soon.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Gu Junxiu's wound had almost healed. In the royal study room, he reported the incident where Lin Zian plundered the Law Entrance. Gu Qingcheng said calmly.

"Lin Fan was saved by his son?" Aren't his sons mediocre? "

"This matter is not urgent. The forest is not far away. After all, there is still the Lin Clan here. There is still an even more urgent matter." When he thought of the mountain of papers, his frown deepened.
