Forced Into the Palace: Becoming the Emperor's Favorite-Chapter 360: Wang Family Steps In

Just after the incident where Prince Zhan kicked his own son to death, now comes the terrifying news of Mr. Lin violently beating his wife and son.

The servants are all extremely frightened.

Could it be that this family is possessed by evil spirits?

Do they enjoy hitting and killing their kin?

Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Especially after Lin Guangzhi was declared beyond saving and died that night.

The news spread quickly.

Lin Xiang was in the study, listening to the report from the housekeeper.

Regarding the death of the grandson, whom he never cared much about, he had no reaction.

However, he did feel it was a pity for this youngest son, who was excessively impulsive.

So eager for success and yet so ruthless and unreasonable, it seems he might not be able to protect him even if he wanted to.

Thus, he thought of something.

"Where’s Runzhi?"

"Naturally, in Aunt Guo’s courtyard."

"That child, how do you view him?"

The housekeeper was a bit troubled; logically, an illegitimate son is naturally inferior to a legitimate one.

But now that the legitimate son is gone, the status of the illegitimate one rises naturally.

After pondering for a long time, he said.

"The Fourth Young Master’s temperament is lively, Aunt Guo takes good care of him, and this old servant sees that his health is quite robust!"

Healthy!

And still young!

It seems the best option in every way.

Therefore, Lin Xiang quickly began to plan.

At this moment in Shengjing City, he couldn’t stay any longer.

Instead of relying on the distant first branch or the powerless second branch, it’s better to rely on himself.

He is only sixty-four now, so what if he waits another decade or so?

As long as the game he holds in his mind stays, the chessboard of Da Wei will not change much.

So he said to the housekeeper.

"Go, notify the Wang Family to come and take their member. Tell them their daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang has failed her filial duties and hasn’t raised her child properly, so I, the elder, am going to divorce her directly! As for Mr. Lin, send someone to find him."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Second Madam, Mrs. Wang, who lay in bed barely able to make a sound, never expected this.

The second daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, the mistress of the West Wing, the Lady-in-waiting of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the mother of Lin Guifei, these once prominent titles.

Had become things of the past.

All that awaited her was endless grief over the loss of her child and the tragic fate of being divorced.

The Wang Family of the Minister of War.

Upon hearing this news, the Chief of Staff almost overturned the table in fury.

"I haven’t even gone to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to ask for my daughter back, and now they dare to talk about divorce, how dare they!"

If Prime Minister Lin were in position, of course, he would be superior.

But now, being idle at home with uncertain prospects.

How dare they provoke our Wang Family like this!

It’s simply despicable!

The Wang Family’s Sister-in-law was also a formidable character.

She said right away.

"Father-in-law, think carefully, at this point, we cannot let our sister drag down the whole family. If she is truly divorced, what will happen to the other girls in the family who are married? Isn’t this going to ruin them all?"

Upon hearing this, Minister Wang became even more furious.

"Then what should we do? The Prime Minister’s Mansion has already sent over the news, what else can we do?"

"Luckily, this matter hasn’t blown up yet, right? Isn’t it better if Father-in-law goes personally to see what’s really happening? If it’s truly our sister’s fault, let the Prime Minister’s Mansion find a reason that she’s sick and needs to recuperate, and send her to the villa outside the city to stay for a couple of years, wait for the storm to pass, and then decide."

Next to them, Mrs. Wang could only cry, and the eldest brother of the Wang Family could do nothing but sigh and groan.

Minister Wang carefully considered his daughter-in-law’s words.

It wasn’t a bad idea.

So he nodded and said.

"Then I will go and take a look."

Then he glanced at Mrs. Wang, still crying, and said impatiently.

"Crying, crying, all you know is cry! A major disaster is coming, and you don’t even realize it."

After saying that, he strode out.

He hurried to the Prime Minister’s Mansion but unexpectedly saw his daughter bruised and battered, and his already deceased grandson.

Furious, he demanded.

"Who did this? Who exactly did this!"

The maid, who came from the Wang Family, immediately knelt down and cried out.

"Master, please save us, Mr. Lin beat Second Young Master at home, Madam stepped in to stop it, but ended up beaten like this, and now even Second Young Master is gone, the servants are really scared, afraid that Mr. Lin will remember and come to beat Madam again, how could Madam survive?"

Second Madam, Mrs. Wang, did not even have the strength to speak.

During this beating, she had several bones broken.

Most of her body was bruised and swollen like a pig.

Upon hearing that her son was gone, she could only weep continuously.

The tears blurred her vision.

Seeing her father come, she felt she had support, wanting to struggle up to beg her father to stand up for her and her son, but unexpectedly, he brought news of her being divorced!

"What? The Lin Family not only beat my Wang Family’s daughter but also killed their own son? And now they want a divorce? It’s outrageous, I’ll go and seek justice!"

Saying that, he turned and left the West Wing, heading straight for Prime Minister Lin’s study.

He used to be a frequent visitor at the Prime Minister’s Mansion; every time Prime Minister Lin returned, he would come to visit.

Therefore, he was familiar with the way inside the mansion.

The divorce matter was something Lin Xiang instructed, and the housekeeper personally went to convey it to the Wang Family.

Therefore, no one else in the Prime Minister’s Mansion knew yet.

Seeing the in-law come with anger, no one dared to stop him.

It allowed him to go unimpeded directly to Lin Xiang’s study.

Upon entering, he saw Lin Xiang writing something.

Minister Wang couldn’t be bothered and asked directly.

"Prime Minister, what does this mean? My Wang Family’s good daughter married into your Lin Family, gave birth to children, served parents-in-law, I’ve never heard of anything bad, and today she was beaten like this, yet you want a divorce? Are you bullying my Wang Family?"

Lin Xiang ignored what he said, continuing to write quickly on the paper.

When he finished writing, he put down the pen.

He looked at Minister Wang.

Years of seriousness made Minister Wang’s previous furious demeanor instantly subdue.

"Minister Wang, do you know why Guangzhi was beaten to death?"

"Was it the enticement of some little charmer in Mr. Lin’s room?"

"Hmph, if it were so, I wouldn’t be talking about divorce. He contracted a venereal disease, already terminally ill, with no one in the family knowing, it was only discovered when my son unintentionally found out, leading to the beating. As for his death, it was entirely due to his frail body."

"What?"

Venereal disease?

Minister Wang never expected that his usually sweet-talking grandson would contract such a disease.

Wasn’t he young and still studying at the Imperial College?

How could this be?

He suspiciously looked at Prime Minister Lin.

Unfortunately, Prime Minister Lin remained unmoved.

"If you don’t believe, go see his body for yourself."
