Chapter 396

Doesn't he look like a wise person?

Rin was a little suspicious, and thought he would use other methods, such as getting the news from nowhere that Xiye was just an adopted daughter and lacked the necessary conditions to inherit the title.

But I never expected that he would be so straightforward and reckless, and just sneak out some illegitimate child?

Not to mention Rin, even Xiye's eyes were extremely surprised and she couldn't help but look at Hu Lan a few more times.

No, he must have something to rely on.

Although there is no church in the Kingdom of Gioral, the indirect influence and strength are still there. Everyone must consider whether they will be retaliated by the church knights.

Even if we don't mention the church, judging from the Queen's favor towards Rin, there will definitely be no good consequences for offending Rin.

At worst, if he offended Xiye, the sword master, he would probably draw his sword on the spot.

So this guy must have something to rely on.

Rin quickly ran through it in her mind. In addition to the army commander General Ace, the people who had an influence on the queen in the kingdom were the queen's brother and Charlotte's father.

But of these two people, although the former is strong enough to compete with the Phoenix family, his main business is in the army. After Orlan was dismissed, no one from the Phoenix family except Xiye could make great achievements in the military, and Xiye herself He is a junior whom the general is very optimistic about.

In summary, the Phoenix family can no longer compete with Ace, and there is no need for the other party to take action.

The prince has a good relationship with the queen, and he never likes to play intrigues. He has never offended him, so the possibility is not high.

Rin silently eliminated the two people who were most likely to be the backers Hu Lan relied on. After thinking for a moment, she still couldn't figure out who else had such great strength in the kingdom.

Could it be that he is really a suicidal disciple?

With her head full of doubts, Lin looked coldly at Hu Lan, who was introducing the origin of the so-called "illegitimate child" to everyone. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to interrupt his talk.

"Hu Lan, I gave you face before, so I called you uncle. What do you mean now? Do you think I am a persimmon that you can shape and flatten?"

Hu Lan quickly said angrily: "Lin, don't be angry yet. I also want your father's children who are living abroad to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan."

"Let's not talk about whether you have this right or not. Let's just say that this guy jumped out of nowhere. Just say he is an illegitimate child."

"Is that so? Just ask Orlan."

As soon as Hu Lan said this, Lin's heart moved and she immediately knew what he meant.

The royal capital announced to the public that Yulin and Yuye acted righteously and exposed their father's treasonous behavior. It was impossible for Orlan not to hate them.

According to his previous behavior, "I won't let others get the destruction I can't get". Maybe in order to get revenge, Rin might admit that this is his illegitimate child outside.

Of course, Rin didn't believe it. Not to mention that Orlan was a completely indifferent person. Even if he had such a child unexpectedly, he wouldn't be able to let the child wander outside, and he would definitely be the No. 1 experimental subject.

"Marquis Hu Lan really made a good calculation, but I don't think it's so troublesome. Wouldn't it be clear to just ask a fortune teller to divine your bloodline?"

Rin continued: "So, how did you judge his relationship with his father?"

"Because this child also has the blood of the Phoenix, and there are people who can prove his life experience. He also has a token left by your father, a family crest that can only be worn by direct descendants of the Phoenix family,"

"Oh, the latter is easy to forge, right? As for the former... who knows which branch left it."

Regarding the bloodline of the Phoenix, Hu Lan could not lie. This was something that would be exposed quickly once a lie was made. Children of the family with bloodline would know the power of the blood as soon as they were tested.

But there is really no paternity test in this world. Generally, there are only two ways to verify it. The first is to rely on the curse master to cast a curse, specifically designate the heir, and then clear it afterwards.

Another method is the fortune teller's divination results. These are relatively accurate. There may be other methods, but Rin is not sure.

"Rin, I brought him here just to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. I will not let him participate in the inheritance before the blood lineage is determined. Don't worry too much."

"You suddenly introduced such a person at this time, you told me just to recognize your ancestors? Do you think I have a good temper, or do you think I am as stupid as your brain?"

Rin raised his chin: "Come here, drive this ignorant thing out of my sight. From today on, he will be removed from the list!"

Hu Lan's expression changed: "You haven't inherited the title yet, so you don't have the right? Even if you don't recognize this brother, you can't act like this?"

"I'm sorry, at least now I can act as the duke. If you are dissatisfied, call out the people behind you. I want to see who they are. If this is your idea alone, then..."

Rin said, sneered at Hu Lan and wiped his neck, then waved his hand as if to shoo away flies.

"By the way, this idiot, do you really think that the oboe-singing young man can't tell?"

Rin glanced at Earl Curly and sat down.

The guards in the manor, under Sebastian's instructions, pushed the three of them out together.

The so-called "illegitimate son" whose name he didn't know had been shrinking his neck and not daring to speak out when Lin and Hu Lan were tit-for-tat.

It wasn't until he was kicked out that he said angrily and bitterly: "I don't think he had any intention of letting me in, bah."

Hu Lan adjusted her clothes, hiding her disdain for him, and said calmly: "No legitimate son of any family wants to see an illegitimate child. This is the same no matter who he is. It is actually normal for him to have such a reaction."

The young man immediately pointed at Hu Lan angrily: "You knew the result, but you still brought me here to make a fool of yourself? Look at those little nobles, they look at us like retarded clowns?! Is this what you want? !”

Hu Lan narrowed his eyes and tried his best to show a gentle smile: "Don't worry, this is just an appetizer, the real purpose is to spread the news that Orlan has an illegitimate child, and I will let it spread throughout the streets. "

"Is that so? You didn't lie to me?" the young man asked suspiciously.

"I tried my best to offend the Queen, offend a church's Holy Son and Sword Master, and even risk losing my title to help you, what do you think?"

The young man immediately showed a satisfied smile and patted Hu Lan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if I can really sit in that position, I will never treat you badly."

As he said that, he remembered that there was Curly Hair again, and continued to add: "And you, you will be my right-hand man from now on."

Hu Lan smiled: "It doesn't matter if you are wronged this time. I have already selected a few beauties for you. Go back and relax."

The young man's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and his saliva was almost on his clothes.

Although he is also a mixed-race, he is different from the delicate and handsome mixed-races like Rin and Yuye. His skin color is brown, and his face has rough contours. He looks like he has blood from Antia or other desert kingdoms.

At this time, he showed a squinting look, and his originally decent appearance immediately became wretched.

After sending the young man into the carriage, the Curly-haired Earl immediately looked away with a look of contempt and disgust.

"Why do you really think that the clothes of the nobles on your ship mean that you are truly a noble? You don't even care about your own virtues."

Hu Lan wiped his shoulders with a handkerchief without changing his expression, and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a tool. Once the task is completed, you will be dead. Just bear with it a little longer."

"That's all we can do... Hey, Master Hu Lan, what should we do next?"

"Just wait and see what happens. You and I are just pawns. Someone will take action later."

"You should tell me something. To be honest, I'm very vain. I offended the young master and the sword master. We really didn't succeed in becoming benevolent. I don't want to die without knowing."

"I won't say it's for your own good, but don't worry, Rin and the others have someone to deal with it, so there's nothing to worry about."

…

There was silence in the hall, and everyone is still shocked and stunned.

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. Even a normal person can't figure out why Hu Lan is so eager to jump out and commit suicide.

Even if he is really an illegitimate child, he only has the conditions to participate in the inheritance. As long as Rin gives up the Holy Son of the Church, or Yuye changes his mind...

Both the legitimate son and the legitimate daughter are here, but an illegitimate son can be taken wherever it is cool... Well, it's probably the coolest place in the tomb.

Because of the sudden nervous operation, the atmosphere in the hall was not good, and Rin kept sitting with a cold face.

After a while, he looked around: "I didn't expect that just when I encountered danger, there would be cats and dogs shamelessly trying to fight for the family property."

Under his gaze, the others lowered their heads and cursed Hu Lan in a low voice.

"Actually, about the church..."

Rin was about to confide that the church gave her a lot of freedom. As long as she got there before the big court meeting, she could not only get married, but also inherit the title and become an official. As for the court meeting...it was already done and they couldn't force it. People abdicate and get divorced.

But before he could start, someone from outside suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that Her Majesty the Queen had an order for Rin to enter the palace immediately.

Rin didn't know what was so urgent, so he just put these people aside for the time being and got on the carriage specially sent by Queen Sheryl.

Soon the carriage arrived at the palace, and under the leadership of the two maids, Rin came to the area where the queen and princess used to rest and activities.

Arriving in front of a palace hall, Rin recalled it and found that this was the place where she had entered when she first met Her Majesty the Queen.

At this time, the head maid was guarding the door. After seeing Rin, she reminded her in a low voice: "There is a very, very important guest inside. If... there is anything unpleasant, please bear with it for now. Your Majesty will handle it for you afterwards." of."

"?"

A series of question marks flashed through Rin's head, ending with a big exclamation mark.

He couldn't help but remember that he was still speculating on Hu Lan's support before... Could it be the person he was going to see now?

Those who need the queen to ask the head maid to remind them privately not to have conflicts in person must be very important people.

With this in mind, Rin adjusted her disguise, and after the door was opened, she stepped in.

"Meet Her Majesty the Queen."

"We are all our own people, no need to be polite, Xiao Lin, come here."

Rin raised his head and glanced at the three people in the hall without looking for traces.

They are Queen Sheryl, the eldest daughter Eve, and a slightly older woman who looks similar to Sheryl.

Wait...they look similar, and still have the iconic pink hair.

Meow? ! No way, that guy Silly Roe Deer didn’t say that she had an aunt or something like that?

Or did you mention it but forgot about it?

Then Rin noticed that Her Majesty the Queen was different from her usual squinted face today. Instead, she had a pair of misty eyes open, and her eye sockets were a little red, as if she had cried.

But the excitement, longing and joy on his face cannot be faked, which shows that this person is really important to her.

This made Rin feel nervous. While he was speculating on the opponent's identity and power, he was also worried about whether his current opponents in the kingdom would defect.

So he looked at Eve more.

Eve still had a somewhat distant and formulaic smile, and she was obviously not close to this person either. After meeting Lin's gaze, she returned her comforting look to reassure him.

Rin quietly raised her guard in her heart, said hello to Eve again, and then looked at the strange woman.

Her Majesty the Queen introduced: "Xiao Lin, this is my eldest sister, Catalina, you... Hey, you juniors don't know her. I haven't seen her for more than 20 years."

With a question mark on her head, Rin saluted respectfully: "I have met Her Highness Catalina."

"Just call us aunty. Sherrill also said just now that we are all a family."

Catalina looked at Rin, covered her mouth and smiled, her attitude was quite gentle, and she even waved to Rin.

"Good boy, come closer and let me see what Elise's fiancé looks like."

Rin approached him with a cute smile.

Catalina immediately put her hand on his face and pinched it: "This kid is indeed very handsome. Few people can match his appearance alone."

The tone of her voice sounded like she liked Rin very much, but her eyes towards Rin were very cold, and her hands pinched her face harder.

Linmiao was expressionless and endured the pain on her face. She had already had a bad mouth several times in her heart, until the other party let go of her.

"Why haven't I seen Elise come back yet?" Katarina asked.

"The school is relatively big, so it will take some time to find her."

Sheryl pulled Rin to his side, quickly let go, and then continued to look at her sister with joyful eyes.

At this moment, she really looked like a silly roe deer.

Being stared at by her like this, Catalina's expression also appeared a little dazed, and she was a little more gentle when facing Sheryl.

But soon, she remembered the business and said: "My child, in fact, the reason why I am so anxious to come to you is not just to meet you, the Holy Son, but mainly because of another thing."

As she said that, she looked at Eve with some embarrassment: "This matter... is really a bit embarrassing."

Eve understood and said to Rin: "Xiao Rin, after you hear this, don't think too much about it."

Rin's eyes flashed, and he almost guessed what she was going to say, and nodded.

"Actually, you have a half-brother who was left behind by your father many years ago..."

"At the same time, he is still my adopted son, and I know his identity very well." Catalina added.

Something's wrong!

Rin's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

Why did an illegitimate child appear at exactly this time, and at this same time, the Queen's eldest sister, who had not been back for more than 20 years, came back, and she happened to be responsible for the illegitimate child?

How can a member of the royal family who has been away from the center of power for many years be sure that he can influence the Queen's position?

Chapter 43: Who can control Rin, a married woman?

Soon, Rin noticed another problem.
