Chapter 56.3
Just as Lin Shiheng expected, the Lin family gradually prospered because he was the Fuma of the Emperors Sister.
And because he had resigned and left the capital with the Princess, although all the clans children knew that they were imperial relatives, no one dared to act recklessly.
As they all knew, even if there was a Fuma in the family, as long as they were incapable, it would still be impossible for them to become high-ranking officials. If they wanted to become high-ranking officials, they had to properly take the exam themselves.
But still, their style of life had changed.
Lin Shiheng donated fertile land to the clan and opened a school. So as long as they were part of the Lin clan, they could send their children to school for free. If their children achieved excellent grades, they would also be subsidized rice and other rations every month. This was essentially the only way out for some of the Lin clan members who were still living in hardship despite being part of the clan.
So more and more Lins gained fame and entered the officialdom. Because they relied on the Emperors trusted brother-in-law who was behind them, the attitude of their peers was kind, allowing their path as officials to be a bit smoother than others.
For example, one time, there was an incident where a Lin clan member got falsely accused by a superior, where if he became convicted, the lowest punishment would have been being exiled. His family felt incredibly helpless and went to ask Grandpa Lin so that Lin Shiheng might come forward.
The Fuma, Lin Shiheng, had always been the most mysterious and most assuring person in the Lin family.
It was because of his presence that they were able to leap from being peasants to what they were now.
Although the other travels around, Lin Shiheng had published a lot of books that were beneficial to scholars all over the land, and so because of this, the Lins could all go out will their heads held high.
Meanwhile, Lin Shihengs family leaped from being an ordinary side branch of the original clan to becoming the main family.
The happiest person about this matter was obviously Grandpa Lin.
What he was most keen on every day was walking in, out, and through the clan.
Appreciate the fertile land, appreciate the school, and appreciate the children who ran around with no worries about food and clothing.
If he opened his mouth on any matter, his grandchildren would certainly listen, but Lin Shiheng has always been traveling around. So by the time the letter reached the other, would that Lin familys son still be alive?
But Grandpa Lin couldnt care about that. He wrote a letter and had it sent out while hoping it would make it in time.
The result was that there wasnt even the need for Lin Shiheng to appear.
The memorial that falsely accused that clan member was retained by the Emperor as soon as he saw it after it got handed up, who sent another official to review it.
The result of the review was very reassuring. The Lin family son had indeed been falsely accused, the officials involved were imprisoned one by one, and the former was acquitted.
While this was a great imperial favor upon the Lin family, but for some officials who thought that the Lin family had nothing to rely on aside from a resigned Fuma, they finally understood that behind the Lins, there also stood the Emperor.
Obviously, the emperor attached great importance to this brother-in-laws family, otherwise, he wouldnt have intervened in the life and death of such a small official.
The dedicated and hardworking descendants of the Lin family didnt know that simply their surname was enough to allow their starting point to be several steps further ahead than any others.
The Fuma traveled the world, but his presence was equivalent to that of a Ding Hai Shen Zhen, holding down the entire Lin family.

When Grandpa Lin was in his 80s, his grandson brought the Princess home and stayed with him for 10 years.
Then soon after his 90th birthday, Grandpa Lin died with a smile.
The next month, Grandma Lin also followed.
In the first half of their lives, they were the most ordinary civilians, but in the second half of their lives, they enjoyed a comfortable life of being served and well taken care of.
Therefore, when they left, they were satisfied.
Maybe it was the sentimentality from his loved ones departure, Lin Shihengs health somewhat deteriorated, so he settled in his hometown with the Princess and opened a school.
At the age of 69, Mother Lin passed away, painlessly.
Just like Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, Father Lin passed away shortly afterward. Like his parents and wife, he left while his family was prosperous and his children and grandchildren successful. He looked at the five generations all gathered together by his deathbed and smiled with satisfaction.
The Emperor, who had already abdicated to the Crown Prince but was still far away in the capital, was worried that his brother-in-law would again become sorrowed because of the deaths, leading to his body to deteriorate. After all, the news that the Fuma was in poor health had already been deeply rooted in everyones hearts.
Fortunately, perhaps because the Princess was there to comfort him, the Fuma, who was almost 70 years old, managed to pull through once again.
But the Emperor still remained very worried and sent a large number of tonics and medically-trained eunuchs, having them to take good care of the Princesss Fuma.
When Lin Shiheng was 90 years old, his descendants carefully organized a grand birthday celebration for him.
When Lin Shiheng was 100 years old, the Emperor had already long passed away. Before the other passed, while on his sickbed, he wondered how he managed to be one step ahead of his frail brother-in-law and closed his eyes after telling his son to take good care of his aunt and uncle.
Worried that her father would pass away after this birthday, Lin Shihengs eldest daughter, Ning Junzu, who was already in her 70s, came with her husband to celebrate her fathers birthday, without paying any heed to her own health. Afterward, perhaps feeling that this hometown was very comforting, she took root and never left again.
(TNote: Junzu = a second ranking princess/ usually a female descendant of royalty, like the Emperors niece, etc; outside of the imperial Princesses.)
When Lin Shiheng and the Princess were 120 years old, while fortunately, their children were still alive, unfortunately, after outliving their younger brother Emperor, they also outlived their nephew Emperor. And now, theyve also started to hear that their grand-nephew Emperors health was also deteriorating.
At the age of 130, Shen Huyang passed away in her sleep.
In her life, except for the first 10 years, she never had to experience any discomfort. Her husband was considerate, her younger brother was respectful, and her children were filial.
A lifetime without feeling any aggrieve, a lifetime of prosperity.
Even passing away was painless.
Lin Shiheng, who was obviously still healthy enough to perform a little swordplay after waking up the previous day, died peacefully on the next.
(TNote: Tsk *rolling eyes* Seriously man, who would still think youre still sick after the first 10 years?)
The children and grandchildren werent surprised by this result. After all, the two elders had always been inseparable. Even if they were old, they always wanted to appreciate the flowers and the moon together, and they had never quarreled with each other their entire lives.
It could be said that they had already become each others other half.
When half of the body was dead, how would the other half bear to survive?
The great-grandnephew Emperor, who was alive and strong in the capital, was explaining that as a rule, his son should take good care of his great-grandaunt and great-granduncle after succeeding to the throne when he received the news of the death of the two elders.
He breathed a sigh of relief and lay flat on the bed.
Imperial Grandpa, Grandson has lived up to the expectations and survived!!
Grandnephew Emperor, died.
[Ding! Task completed!]
[Please select: 1, vacation world. 2, continue the task.]
Lin Shiheng stripped off his emotions and blurred the memory of the world, and then he stretched himself.
Vacation.
There was an empty bowl in front of Lin Shiheng.
The beautiful looking woman beside him dressed in an immortal manner had red eyes, looking at him with eyes that seemed to express grief and unwillingness for some action against him.
This scene was like a live just after drunken s*x scene.
Lin Shiheng received relatively more memories this time, which also allowed him to relax a bit more under such a gaze.
According to common sense, vacation worlds were designed to allow the host to effectively relax and wouldnt find him a body that required striving. So this bodys identity was very powerful.
He was a Heavenly Emperor.
Yes. Not the Emperor, but the Heavenly Emperor.
The one in charge of the four realms.
The four realms were: the mortal realm, the demon realm, the cultivation realm, and the heavenly realm.
According to the setting of this world, the mortal realm was at the bottom, the cultivation realm was above the mortal realm, and the heavenly realm was above the cultivation realm. Meanwhile, the demon realm was quite special. Because the demon cultivation techniques themselves were unique, it wasnt part of the sandwich biscuit but was situated to the right side of the heavenly realm.
According to the routine
A person should first ascend from the mortal realm to the cultivation realm, then ascend to heaven or the demon realm.
The Heavenly Emperor, however, didnt rise up step by step. Instead, he was born within the mists of chaos, then also slept in the mists of chaos for 10,000 years. If nothing unexpected were to have happened, he would have continued to sleep. As a result, when the previous Heavenly Emperor was about to reach the end of his immortal life, the other brought him out then with the others heartsblood essence, formed his body, allowing him to become a dragon. Then, he smoothly inherited the position of the Heavenly Emperor.
Because of the superb strength and the loyal subordinates left by the previous Emperor, he sat on the Heavenly Emperor throne very stably.
A proper winner in life.

No, actually, it should be an abuse trilogy.
