The Lin family's people were all smiling, but when they heard Wang Kun's words, everyone's face changed, and Lin Mengyao's smile froze instantly.
She raised her head, abandoning her usual composure, and directly addressed Wang Kun, "Eunuch, could the decree have been announced incorrectly?"
"Miss Lin, you must be joking. I wouldn't dare to commit such a serious crime." Wang Kun replied with a smile.
Although Wang Kun's face still held a trace of a smile, but there was no humor in his eyes. He looked at Lin Mengyao and spoke softly, "Miss Lin, please accept the decree."
Holding the imperial decree in Wang Kun's hands, Lin Mengyao felt as if she was about to collapse but still forced a smile, "This servant obeys the decree."
"Eunuch, allow me to see you out."
Lin Ruhai, who had many years of experience in officialdom, hurriedly approached as Wang Kun was leaving. As Lin Ruhai saw Wang Kun out, he subtly slipped a pouch into Wang Kun's hand.
