Fourth Master Lin was previously the Minister of Revenue in the Imperial Court. However, he had been framed and his official status was removed.
It was later confirmed that he was innocent and the Emperor even personally decreed that he should return to his post as Minister of Revenue.
However, he used the excuse that he was old and could no longer serve the Imperial Court, thus directly rejecting the Emperor's decree.
This matter alerted all the officials back then. Some had even gone up to the Emperor to ask him to convict him of his crime of disrespect.
However, this was ignored by the Emperor.
Fourth Master Lin had also moved back to the Lin Jiang Mansion from the capital. With the Lin family's status in Lin Jiang Mansion now, no one dared to provoke them.
Thankfully, Fourth Master Lin was a kind person and did not make things difficult for others. Furthermore, his reputation as a kind person in Lin Jiang Mansion was well-known.
