Early the next morning, Xia Lin was woken up by the noisy voices. Looking at Lusalin, who was still sleeping soundly behind the magic sound - shielding barrier (others didn't know that Lusalin and Xia Lin were sleeping in the same bed), Xia Lin felt extremely envious.
"What on earth is going on? Who is making such a racket so early in the morning?" Xia Lin thought. If it was an ignorant and misbehaving servant, he would surely deduct their salary.
The butler rushed upstairs. Seeing Xia Lin, he said anxiously, "Young master, it's Lady Naya and her daughter. They heard that you've returned and came here to make a ruckus outside the door early this morning. They insist on seeing you."
Oh, so it's his step - mother and step - sister. What on earth are they doing here? He really didn't want to see them. But a bit of curiosity, combined with the fact that the mother - daughter pair was really making a racket outside, and the servants of the earl's mansion didn't dare to forcefully expel them because of their special identities. Moreover, most of the servants were ordinary people and simply no match for his magic - using step - sister. Some of the knights with fighting capabilities had been taken away by the earl, as he needed guards on his dangerous journey, and some had gone to patrol the territory.
So, although the servants could block the mother and daughter from entering with their large numbers, they couldn't do much to stop them either.
The only person in the family who could use magic now was him. Well, excluding that great demon!
When he went outside, the mother and daughter got excited when they saw Xia Lin and shouted, "Lin, I have something to tell you, Lin!" Xia Lin glanced at his former step - mother. Didn't she have a miscarriage not long ago? How could she look so healthy now? Forget it. One couldn't use common sense to judge things in this world.
"What are you doing here?"
Xia Lin stood behind the servants and asked expressionlessly. "Brother! Brother! Please, let us in. I'm father's daughter, his biological daughter! I've learned the magic to prove my blood relation!"
So that's why they dared to come here and cause trouble. But, "It was father's decision to expel you. I don't have the right to change it. You'd better wait until father comes back."
The mother and daughter exchanged a look. If they were willing to wait for the earl to come back several months later, they wouldn't have come to curry favor with Xia Lin today.
The mother and daughter, who were used to a luxurious life, couldn't bear their current poverty. They felt that every day they were living now was a torture! Especially the step - sister. She had been expelled from the academy because it was a noble academy, and without her noble status, she naturally had no right to stay there.
She had always been proud of her magic talent and strength. Just thinking about being expelled from the academy and having to live as an ordinary person in the future was as painful as being killed. Fortunately, soon she had learned the magic to prove the purity of her blood relation. But this hateful Lin actually wouldn't let her in. It was okay for her mother. After all, she had betrayed father, and it served her right to end up in this situation. But she was different. She was truly father's daughter and shouldn't have to live like those commoners.
"No, no matter what you say, I won't agree to let you in. Just wait until father comes back. If you keep causing trouble, I'll expel you by force. Don't blame me if you get hurt then." He felt that his words made him sound like a villain, but it was quite satisfying to say them.
Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, the step - sister sneered. "Brother, do you think you can beat me?"
