Why was Lin Wan 'er's father Lin Ruopu?

Answer 1

Lin Wan 'er's father was Lin Ruofu. This was because Lin Ruofu had developed a relationship with the Eldest Princess, Li Yunrui, in the past. At that time, Lin Ruofu was only a scholar, and Li Yunrui was a princess. The Empress Dowager was very opposed to their marriage. Thus, Li Yunrui chose to leave Lin Ruofu, but he raised a condition, which was to let Lin Ruofu become the Prime Minister, with a high position and power. Therefore, Lin Ruofu became the prime minister, and as their illegitimate daughter, Lin Wan 'er could only grow up in the royal family's courtyard and was not close to her parents. As for why Lin Ruofu became Lin Wan 'er's father, the specific reason was not mentioned.
