Chapter 457: Cannibalism

Although Chen Beiyuan was somewhat tempted by Lin Yunluo's proposal, he finally gave up the idea after a brief and careful consideration.

He didn't want to give the unborn twins the image of a strict father who would make them filial sons.

In a sense, he was a "good father".

To this end, he did not hesitate to use his eloquence, moved them with emotion, explained them with reason, and followed his heart. After a lot of hard work, he finally convinced Lin Yunluo little by little and gave up a certain absurd idea.

"Beiyuan, you are so nice."

Lin Yunluo leaned in his arms, her eyes were hazy, as if covered with a layer of mist, staring straight at the man in front of her, with a trembling voice, muttering to herself.

"Yunluo, although we are not husband and wife in name, we are husband and wife in reality. There is no need to be too polite about some things."

Chen Beiyuan wiped the water on his face and the wet hair, and caressed the little head in his arms lovingly. Every move was full of tenderness, soothing the uneasy heart.

Seeing Yunluo's face full of happiness and sweetness, hugging him tightly and not letting go, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The reason why Lin Yunluo behaved so abnormally seemed to be just a normal need, but in fact it was a subconscious, cautious test.

She wanted to see if he still loved her or if he was tired of her.

At the same time, she wanted to make sure whether he wanted her or the baby in her belly from the beginning to the end...

And Chen Beiyuan obviously guessed the reason why she became so sensitive.

"It seems that she has roughly guessed about the changes in the Lin family. That's right. She is a smart woman. Moreover, since Lin Jiuzhou came to power, the Lin family has had a large gap in funds, and a lot of money has been transferred from the "small treasury" in the Magic City..."

"However, this kind of thing can't be kept secret for long. Sooner or later, she will know it. It's not a bad thing to know it earlier..."

"Lin Jiuxiao is indeed a good hand at civil war. With the help of Lin Xiao, the son of destiny, he first tortured and killed his eldest sister-in-law, and then poisoned his eldest brother Lin Jiuzhou. Now he even has the idea of ​​​​killing his father..."

"The entire Lin family has been tossed by him..."

"It's time for this drama to end."

Chen Beiyuan held Lin Yunluo in his arms, his eyes flickering, as if he had foreseen the final outcome.

Suddenly, a subtle voice sounded from his arms, with a hint of sadness and longing.

"Beiyuan, I miss home."

His gaze paused, and his thoughts were interrupted instantly. He looked at Lin Yunluo, who was curled up in his arms, as weak as a kitten, with a pleading look in her eyes.

At this moment, their eyes looked at each other, collided with each other, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay, I'll take you home."

.....

Imperial capital, Lin family.

Soon, after a series of inspections, after confirming that Lin Jiuzhou had not been harmed by the outside world and there was no possibility of poisoning, his funeral was handled very low-key.

Lin Jiuxiao thought that after the death of his eldest brother, as a member of the main lineage, he would be able to smoothly take a suicide note "left" by his eldest brother and take the position smoothly.

Originally, his plan had been successful for the most part, and many family leaders chose to acquiesce for various reasons.

However, he still overlooked a special group of the Lin family.

That is, those family elders with rich experience, who are dying soon, and have stubborn personalities.

"No, although the head of Jiuzhou family left a suicide note, your ability and strength are still too far from that of his elder brother. I am worried about handing the Lin family over to you. I suggest that we welcome back the old head of the family in Gongdeyuan and let him take charge of the Lin family again."

"Yes, the old head's political ability is first-class. Letting him return to the Lin family and take charge of the power is the best choice."

"Although there are no cases of the high-ranking officials of the empire entering the Gongdeyuan, there is never a lack of exceptions in this world. I don't believe that my Donghua Lin family can't make the royal family break an exception."

"Yes, I also firmly support the return of the old head of the family. Moreover, I think the death of the head of Jiuzhou family is suspicious and must be investigated strictly."

"..."

Seeing that the great success was about to be accomplished, some obstacles appeared. Lin Jiuxiao, holding the "suicide note", was almost mad with anger, and the whole person was shaking with anger on the spot.

If it weren't for his lack of strength and fear, he would have wanted to chop all those old men into pieces, mincing them into meat paste, leaving no one alive.

Usually, they were invisible, as if they were dead. Now, they show up every time something big happens, stirring up trouble. They are simply the parasites of the family.

But at this time, can he not agree? !

You know, the man in the Merit Courtyard is his biological father. As a son, is he going to compete with his biological father for the position? !

Lin Jiuxiao gritted his teeth, frowned, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and agreed:

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"However, whether you can successfully rescue my father from the Merit Courtyard depends on your methods."

......

Lin family, mourning hall.

Lin Jiuzhou's portrait and a huge black coffin were placed in the middle, surrounded by flower baskets, paper money, and many spiritual paper figures.

But the scene was empty, not even a mourner.

The entire Lin family's senior management and the new generation of Lin family members were gathered in the front hall to discuss something.

Normally, this level of funeral is not worthy of Lin Jiuzhou, the head of the Lin family.

The death of the head of the top family is undoubtedly very grand. At least all the leaders of the aristocratic families in the entire imperial capital must be present, and even the palace will send people over...

In addition, the Lin family members from all over the empire must wear plain white clothes for three years...

....

However, due to the special situation of the Lin family today, and the inconvenience of external publicity, it caused family turmoil.

In the end, the entire Lin family decided to keep a low profile, find a new head of the family first, and then find a time to hold a grand funeral.

And this move was undoubtedly correct.

However, the Lin family leaders who were gathered in the front hall to discuss things at this moment did not know that the seemingly empty and silent mourning hall suddenly had a slight movement.

Tear! Tear! Tear!

A creepy sound of gnawing flesh came from the huge coffin in the middle of the mourning hall.

It was as if there was a monster that liked to gnaw corpses in the coffin and was feasting on it.

A low and strange laugh also resounded throughout the mourning hall.

"As expected of a man who is praised by the Lin family as having the potential of an emperor, his flesh is really tender."
