The Giant Eagle and "Aunt"

"Lin Zhenyue refused?" Xiao Qing asked in a calm tone, his eyes showing a glint of cunning.

"Yes, it's said that Miss Lin from the Lin family refused to see him and sent him back from Drifting Petal Palace," Xiao Wuqing replied truthfully.

"Do you find his words trustworthy?" He still trusted Xiao Wuqing's judgment when it came to such matters.

"As far as I can see, Lin Zhenyue, although slippery, isn't one to confront our Xiao family directly. He doesn't seem like the kind to act that way," Xiao Wuqing considered, "And Miss Lin, though young, has managed to defeat my big brother. What Minister Lin said is likely true."

"In any case, the Lin family's refusal to the marriage is a fact. We should make him suffer a bit," Xiao Qing said with indifference. "Otherwise, once this precedent is set, who wouldn't be able to refuse my requests? What will be left of the prestige of the first noble family of the Xiao clan?"
