Feeling these thoughts in his heart, Lin Qingsong felt insulted.
However, just as he was about to get angry.
Upon seeing Lin Hao's icy gaze, he immediately backed down.
Lin Hao looked at Lin Qingsong, who was shrinking his head and standing there without a word, and paid him no further attention.
Then, Lin Hao shifted his gaze to Lin Yuanshan, who was standing in front of Lin Qingsong, and said indifferently, "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me the cause and effect of the Lin family's marriage to the Fifth family."
"Otherwise, I'll break his leg!"
As soon as Lin Hao said this, Lin Yuanshan's expression froze.
At the same time, Lin Yuanshan did not expect Lin Hao to be so despicable.
If he didn't speak, he would break his son's leg.
To be honest, if Lin Hao were to attack him, he wouldn't even flinch if he died.
But his son.
With these thoughts in his heart, Lin Yuanshan became conflicted and hesitant.
If he didn't speak, Lin Hao would break his son's leg.
But if he spoke, with so many family powers present today, the Lin family's century-old reputation would likely be ruined.
This was because the marriage between the Lin family's eldest grandson and the Fifth family's youngest daughter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
On the surface, the marriage between the Lin family's eldest grandson and the Fifth family's youngest daughter was a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
After all, both the Lin family and the Fifth family were top families in Chang'an.
Especially the Lin family, which was once a presence that all powers looked up to.
Of course, the current Fifth family was also not weak, and it was flourishing, showing signs of becoming the number one family in Chang'an.
The marriage alliance between these two great families seemed perfectly normal to everyone.
However, the true situation was only known to the few people in charge of the Lin family.
The Lin family could still hold on when the Old Master was alive.
But ever since the Old Master passed away, the entire Lin family had been declining day by day.
If it weren't for the Lin family's vast assets and their past reputation, they would have long ago become a second or third-rate family in Chang'an.
Therefore, in order to preserve the Lin family's status and reputation, Lin Yuanshan came up with the idea of a marriage alliance with the Fifth family.
However, the Fifth family, which had risen rapidly in a few years, was not foolish in its decision-makers.
Thus, after several rounds of negotiations, Lin Yuanshan agreed to transfer forty percent of the Lin family's assets to the Fifth family for management.
The Fifth family, also coveting the Lin family's reputation and foundation, finally agreed to the marriage.
Families that rose rapidly like the Fifth family lacked foundation and reputation the most.
And the Lin family now lacked hard power the most.
Therefore, the two sides hit it off immediately.
However, these secrets would not be known to the outside world.
People only knew that the Lin family's eldest grandson and the Fifth family's patriarch's youngest daughter were to be married.
This also represented the strong alliance between the old Chang'an family, the Lin family, and the new Chang'an power, the Fifth family.
Although other influential families were worried that these two behemoths would squeeze their living space after joining forces.
But the die was cast, and worrying was futile. It was better to attend the wedding early and make some acquaintances.
Thus, the wedding of Lin Qingsong and Fifth Yinrou today was unprecedentedly grand, with a very large turnout.
It was just that no one expected Lin Hao to appear out of nowhere.
Lin Yuanshan looked at Lin Hao with a headache, contemplating whether or not to tell the truth.
After much deliberation, Lin Yuanshan finally gritted his teeth and decided to pass the buck to the Fifth family.
Although his son and Fifth Yinrou were not yet officially married, it was a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, the Lin family had given forty percent of their assets as betrothal gifts. With such generous gifts, the Fifth family could not take them for nothing.
Now that the Lin family was in trouble, how could the Fifth family stand by and do nothing?
Wasn't the purpose of their marriage alliance to use the Fifth family's name to resolve some troubles?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yuanshan nodded secretly and then looked at Lin Hao, saying, "Lin Hao, what do you mean by that?"
"My Lin family becoming in-laws with the Fifth family is in accordance with the six rites of human relations."
"You are so aggressively demanding that I explain the detailed reasons for the Lin family's marriage alliance with the Fifth family. Not only will my Lin family not agree, but the Fifth family will also never agree."
"In-laws, don't you agree?"
As he spoke, Lin Yuanshan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fifth Yuanze beside him.
With his words, others also turned their attention to Fifth Yuanze.
As the patriarch of the Fifth family, they wanted to see what Fifth Yuanze would say.
It was known that Fifth Yuanze was famously overbearing.
Today was his daughter's wedding day, and he had been repeatedly disrupted. Everyone wanted to see how Fifth Yuanze would handle it.
However, many had already guessed the outcome.
That is, Lin Hao would be beaten half to death and then carried out.
This was because Fifth Yuanze's overbearing nature was renowned.
And just as everyone's gaze was focused on Fifth Yuanze.
Fifth Yuanze's gaze fell upon Lin Hao.
If he hadn't looked, it would have been fine, but this glance startled him.
The Fifth family, like the Lin family, practiced the art of divination.
However, as far as he knew, apart from the Lin family's Old Master, Lin Daozi, there were almost no capable people left in the Lin family.
He did not expect that Lin Hao, standing before him, was actually a person with true ability.
Moreover, he could not see through Lin Hao's cultivation level at a glance.
This meant that Lin Hao's cultivation level was either higher than his.
Or he had used some secret technique to mask his cultivation level.
Either of these would be enough to shock him.
At Lin Hao's age, if his cultivation level in divination was even higher than his, then he would truly be an unparalleled genius of several hundred or even a thousand years.
Although the latter was less important than the former, secret techniques that could mask divination cultivation levels had not appeared for many years.
If Lin Hao truly possessed such a secret technique, it would mean that the Lin family's foundation was much deeper than he had seen.
"Brother Yuanze."
Seeing Fifth Yuanze standing there motionless for a long time, Lin Yuanshan couldn't help but cough.
Fifth Yuanze was jolted out of his thoughts. Looking at Lin Hao again, he felt that something was not quite right.
He knew Lin Hao.
However, why would someone with such true ability as Lin Hao be expelled from the Lin family?
He felt a sense of doubt, always feeling that something was amiss.
But now was not the time to ponder these things. Shaking his head, he suppressed his doubts for the moment and looked at Lin Hao, saying, "Young man, if you have something to say, we can sit down and talk slowly. But today is my daughter's joyous occasion, and I cannot agree to your disruption."
"However..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Tell me the truth about this marriage today, and I will spare your Fifth family's lives."
