Chapter 1233: People of the Su Family
The Lin Family’s reputation in the Capital City wasn’t particularly loud, but its significance was not slight.
For three generations, the Lin Family had been directly serving the Zhao Family, primarily responsible for the welfare of the people and interactions between the various great noble families.
It could be said that any aristocratic family wishing to connect with the Capital City couldn’t bypass the Lin Family’s threshold, which highlighted the family’s importance.
"It’s a pity that no genius-like figure has emerged from the Lin Family; otherwise, their status in the Capital City might have risen even further," someone remarked.
"Perhaps it’s not that there haven’t been any, but rather that they simply do not wish to stand out," another countered.
Su Chengyu’s words confused Yang Junmo, prompting Su Chengyu to continue, "The Lin Family holds a unique position as a liaison between the Heavenly Son and the large families. To some extent, they are the spokespersons for the Heavenly Son, and the simplest way to ensure that no one is apprehensive is to make it seem like the Lin Family has nothing to fear."
Yang Junmo, stunned by this explanation, looked at Su Chengyu with a puzzled face and asked, "Is that even possible?"
"Isn’t it a possibility?" Su Chengyu replied.
Swallowing nervously, Yang Junmo said, "Sometimes I really don’t understand how your mind works; your angle is always different from others."
Su Chengyu smiled silently. Though he hadn’t yet reached the point of suspecting the worst of everyone at all times,
in the Capital City, given the example set by his own grandfather, it would not be surprising if the Lin Family, if wise, chose such a strategy.
