1783 The Lin Family’s Visit 6
“No,” Lin Jiaxing responded firmly. “Your grandfather was a kind-hearted man who never held grudges against anyone. The Lin Family enjoyed its glory as an imperial family, and when your grandfather sensed something amiss, he chose to withdraw. Your mother was also known for her kindness and never harbored enmity towards anyone…”

“…”

“How come?” Lin Jiaxing asked, sounding very concerned.

Her uncle gave the answer within such a short while, only because her grandpa and mother might be least likely to have become enemies with anyone…

Then her venom could not have been related to the Lin Family.

So…

Could the origin of the venom have something to do with Golden Rolls?

The door to enchantment was opened and Golden Rolls should have been there apart from the sword. But the Golden Rolls were gone. She was drugged and could the person who took away Golden Rolls also drugged her?

That seemed very likely.

Golden Rolls were very important… just look at how desperate Piaomiao Pavilion was.

And they came to Phoenix Girl directly for Golden Rolls, which meant that Golden Rolls were supposed to be in the hands of Phoenix Girl after all.
Then it might be a little difficult to find the solution.

“Chaoyan?” Lin Jiaxing felt even more worried seeing her absent-minded behavior. He called her by the name.

Gu Chaoyan instantly brought herself back, smiling. “Uncle, sorry. It is just some minor thing that I believe might have been related to our family. Don’t worry.”

“…”

“I am now the Queen and the Gu Family is not my own home, but the Lin Family is. You have now become the imperial family’s relative!”

“…..”

“What do you want for the Lin Family? The rank? Jiashu’s marriage? And the Lin Family’s stores and business…”

“…..”

“If the Lin Family had a rank, Jiashu would have a better future.”

“…..”

“The King has expressed his willingness to grant the Lin Family a rank,” Gu Chaoyan revealed, her smile growing wider. “Jiashu has successfully passed the examination, which opens the path for him to serve the court. Uncle, you can continue managing the stores and enjoy a comfortable life at the mansion. Once the rank is finalized, Jiashu’s marriage can be arranged by the Ministry of Rites. Alternatively, he can choose a girl he likes, and the King will bestow his blessing upon their union.”

“…..”

“They have finished selecting the gifts, and it’s getting late. Uncle, please take them back home. We will arrange for the items Aunt has chosen to be delivered from the court tomorrow.”

As Lin Jiaxing was about to say something, he noticed Gu Chaoyan rubbing her temples, a sign of fatigue. He decided against voicing his concerns at that moment.

Being the Queen came with many responsibilities and challenges. Lin Jiaxing understood the weight on her shoulders and chose not to burden her further.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Lin returned from her distraction and hurried back upon hearing that they were leaving. However, to her disappointment, she only found Lin Jiaxing waiting outside the palace, and the absence of the Queen made her smile fade.

Why was the Queen avoiding her?

With a solemn expression, Mrs. Lin boarded the wagon without uttering a word. Once settled, she couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. “What did she talk to you about?” she asked, her voice filled with apprehension.

“…”

“She was dodging me! She just did not want to give us anything. But her mother took half of the Lin Family’s properties.!”
