The Princess of Northern Land

Lin Ziyin directly classified Lin Haisheng as a collateral, knowing that Lin Haisheng’s arrogance would certainly cause him to burn with anger.

Lin Haisheng was indeed enraged, but he came today with a purpose, and the Prince was watching him closely. The Lin family today was not a collateral branch that he could suppress and control at will.

He couldn’t do or say anything to Lin Ziyin, who was the root of the trouble.

Grinding his teeth, he kept a smile on his face, saying, "Your Highness, you may not know. Your branch is actually the collateral of our Lin family. Your great-grandfather was a child born out of wedlock in the 180th generation of the Lin family. According to the family tree, you should belong to the 183rd generation."

By saying that he was of illegitimate birth, he wanted to let this ignorant girl see who was really the illegitimate one. He thought that just because the Prince was present, she could yell at him. But in the Lin family, the words of his legitimate line held the greatest weight.

"Master Lin must be mistaken?" Just as Lin Changshu and the others were growing anxious, the elder spoke slowly, "Our Lin family is small. We don’t have a clan. We know nothing about what our ancestors did. But before my father died, he told me that as his only son, if I ever have the power and the opportunity, I should build a family temple in the village. He would be the first ancestor of the Lin family, I would be the second, and my only son, who regrettably passed away early, would be the third. And then there’s them..."

When he said this, the elder looked around with affectionate eyes at Lin Changshu and the others, "With the fourth and fifth generation, our Lin family is thriving."

The elder’s words had undoubtedly slapped Lin Haisheng in the face.
