Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Coma (5)_1

Old Master Lin nodded, then shook his head, "The identity of the man matters not, you only have to remember this: the Lin family lost all their lives on their way to the Northern Land."

Ziyin had heard of the animosity of the older generation. Their branch of the Lin family did indeed have a connection with the Lin family in the capital City. However, it’s unfortunate that grandfather of the old master was used as a scapegoat by the Lin family. He was blamed for the mistakes of the legitimate members, and then his entire household was banished to the Northern Land.

Although there’s a basic difference between banishment and demotion, the hardships endured are pretty much the same. Moreover, when the Lin family reached the Northern Land, they had a tough time, and they didn’t receive any care or assistance from their relatives in the capital. It’s almost impossible for the old master not to bear any resentment towards the main family after all these years.

Changshu and the others never had the luxury of a big clan’s lifestyle. Nowadays, the Lin Family is flourishing. Seeing Lin Haisheng plotting against them so blatantly, they have even less goodwill towards the so-called main family in the capital.

"Really, are we going to build a family shrine?" Changshu asked, worried yet somewhat eager.

Ziyin understood the importance placed on offspring by ancient men. Everyone in the Lin family may be opposed to recognizing their relatives, but that didn’t mean they didn’t care about the family. A family shrine symbolized the prosperity of a family. Changshu and the old master want to use the family shrine to show everybody that the Lin Family is standing up again.

Ziyin didn’t object to this urgent sentiment.

"Let’s pick a good time in the spring to start construction," said Chu Suifeng.

Changshu and the others were elated. With the Prince’s support, the establishment of the family shrine was a done deal.

"Your Highness and Queen, I would like to build the ancestral hall next to the school. In the future, the ancestral hall will only keep a side room to store the family records. The rest of the rooms should still be kept for the children to use," the old patriarch proposed.

The smiles on Changshu and the others’ faces froze. Could a family shrine that didn’t offer incense still be considered a family shrine?

However, Ziyin heartily agreed, the prosperity of a family wasn’t about how many descendants it had, but whether the family’s character and morals were celebrated by other people.

As expected of the older generation, it was noteworthy that an ancient man like the old master could have such a progressive mindset.

"I agree with grandfather’s opinion." Ziyin was the first to express his position.

"I’ll follow grandfather and sister’s lead." Changting immediately echoed.

"Hmm hmm." Although the youngest Lin Yanzhi didn’t understand what the adults were saying, it didn’t prevent him from expressing his opinion. He believed that everything grandpa, aunt, and uncle said was always right.

"We have no objections." Changshu had great respect for the old master, how could he oppose something proposed by him?

Hence, the matter of establishing the family shrine was settled.

At noon, the Lin family treated everyone to a feast with good food and wine. Everybody - the family, Lou Zheng, and others, and even the uninvited guest, Master Hui Zhen, thoroughly enjoyed it. In the afternoon, after Ziyin had made arrangements for the workshop and the fields, assigning tasks to the managers, she departed from Shili Village with Chu Suifeng.

"The old servant was about to send someone to Shili village to notify your Highness and Queen." Barely back at the Wang Residence, Mr. Bai Xian came rushing over, a look of urgency on his face.

"What happened?" Chu Suifeng asked coldly.

"The Marquis Residence sent a letter, the old madam has been unconscious since this morning, and the medicinal monks are at a loss." Mr. Bai Xian answered delicately, he knew how important the old madam was to Prince Ling.

Upon hearing this, Ziyin looked at Chu Suifeng worriedly.

Chu Suifeng’s expression, however, remained unchanged, not revealing a hint of panic.

Ziyin guessed that it might be because he was already aware of the old lady’s physical condition. He was prepared for the old lady’s current state, and had braced himself for it.
