Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: She Must Put on a Cold Face

"This is what was given to me by granny when Lin Caihe stole something and ran away. Granny told me that this was what our dad left behind when he left years ago. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask granny," said Sangsang.

"This..."

Lin Changhong was choked up by her words and hastily made a conciliatory smile.

"Sangsang, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your brother not believe you? Even if I didn’t believe granny, I would still believe you, right?" he said.

Hearing this, Lin Caisang gave him an annoyed look.

So it was not him who had just been glaring at her with a suspicious eye, was it?

"Okay, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s talk about the Elder Princess instead," Sangsang suggested.

"Elder Princess? Who’s that? Who’s the princess?" Lin Changhong asked with a blink.

A princess, no ordinary person. He feared he might never get to see one in his lifetime. How did it come to pass that Sangsang was talking about a princess? Their family didn’t have a princess, did they?

"Are you joking with me again? What princess, our family...ss!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he involuntarily gasped, his incredulous gaze fixed on his own sister.

"Sangsang, you mean she... she is..." His hand involuntarily pointed towards the tightly closed door as he swallowed.

"Right, she is the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom, the Emperor’s own sister born of the same mother," Lin Caisang revealed.

"She... she... Sangsang, how did you know?" he asked.

Although he was shocked by the Elder Princess’s identity, he was more curious about how his sister knew this since no one had spoken of it over dinner.

"I’ve met her a few times, but I didn’t know then that she was our mother," Lin Caisang explained.

"So she even kept it a secret from you? She’s certainly no good person, huh!" Lin Changhong snorted.

His treasure Sangsang was something special to their family, and that woman had kept even her in the dark, which was simply... It surely was right not to acknowledge her.

Lin Caisang: "..."

How had the grudge level soared yet again while they were talking?

"Lin Changhong, are you listening to me or not? If not, I’m leaving... No, you better beat it!" Sangsang burst out.

Her own brother had frustrated her to the point of confusion, making her forget that this was her room, and she almost fled, but thankfully she caught herself in time.

"No, no, I’m listening, truly," Lin Changhong said as he quickly tried to soothe her.

No matter what, he couldn’t afford to upset his precious sister. Otherwise, he should be slapping himself.

"Go ahead, Sangsang, I’m all ears," he reassured her.

"Hmph!"

Lin Caisang looked at him with cold eyes and snorted.

She thought to herself: Surely enough, it took her giving him the cold shoulder and speaking sharply for her brother to behave!

...

Meanwhile, in another room, Yang Lin and Lin Baiyi sat facing each other.

"Baiyi, why do you think... the sister-in-law returned at this time?" Yang Lin wondered.

Although her return was good news, and Sangsang and Changhong finally had a mother, with Changhong’s attitude, it was clear there’d be trouble at home, especially since it was New Year’s Eve.

"I don’t know," Lin Baiyi replied, still confused.

He had no idea what was going on. The sister-in-law said she would return and then she did, out of the blue, without giving them any time to adjust.

"It would be good if the elder brother could come back soon, but... we don’t even know where he is," mused Yang Lin.
