Chapter 27
On the day she returned home, Lin Yunwan dressed up specially. She wasn't very glamorous, just a light eyebrow.
But she was already bright and outstanding, and with a little reshaping of her eyebrows, her appearance suddenly made people feel stunning.
When Lu Zhengliu saw her, he was stunned for a while.
It was Lin Yunwan who said: "Your Majesty, I will get on the carriage first."
Lu Zhengliu remembered and nodded.
When they arrived at the Lin family's house, the old steward of the Lin family came to open the door. He bent down and invited them in with a smile, and said, "Madam and Master Yi have been waiting for you for a long time. My aunt and uncle, please come in quickly."
The manager of the Lin family was so kind, but he felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of what happened in the Lu family, he looked at Lin Yunwan again and felt apologetic.
Go around the screen wall and enter the courtyard.
Lu Zhengliu suddenly took Lin Yunwan's hand.
Lin Yunwan was startled and felt uncomfortable. She frowned and said, "What are you doing, Prince?"
Lu Zhengliu held her hand tighter and explained: "It's not good for your family to see you and me being estranged and think I'm bullying you." Worried that she might misunderstand his good intentions, he specifically said: "I'm not doing it for myself. …”
If she wanted to, he could treat her like this when she returned to the Lu family.
"No need."
Lin Yunwan pulled her hand back.
Lu Zhengliu's face stiffened, and he felt a little angry.
The Lin family's family was very poor. The house only had three entrances. In addition to the owner's house at the back, there was also a three-room hall.
When she reached the door of the hall, the blind Mrs. Lin couldn't wait to grope her way out of the hall.
As Manager Lin said, she had been waiting for a long time. Her clothes were simple but neat, her black and white hair was tied into a feminine bun with a silver hairpin with an auspicious cloud pattern. She was very excited: "Yun Wan, are you back? You are back. Already?"
Lin Yunwan held back her tears and stepped forward to greet her: "Mom, it's me. I'm back."
My daughter is back.
How long had it been since her mother passed away in her previous life, yet she could still see her mother again!
"daughter--"
Lin Yunwan almost burst into tears.
Mrs. Lin thought she had been wronged, groping for her hand, and started crying too.
Lu Zhengliu stood next to him embarrassed and... sad.
He never knew that Lin Yunwan was also a girl who could cry and shed such hot tears.
The Wuding Hou Mansion did feel a little wronged to her.
"Eldest sister - eldest sister, you are back!"
Twelve-year-old Lin Yunyi ran out of the study happily. His eyes were as bright as stars, and he was also a delicate young man. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lin Yunwan's, and he was a bit more open-minded and elegant than the ordinary reading man.
"Brother Yi, why didn't you go to school today?"
Lin Yunwan wiped her tears and touched his head.
The younger brother looks very young, but he is wearing the official uniform as he did in his previous life. He looks so majestic and has the character of their late father.
It's a pity that the younger brother later went to a remote place to benefit the people, and they didn't see each other often.
When she was seriously ill, she also wrote a letter to her brother. I don't know if he received it or if he would come back in time to attend her funeral.
Lin Yunyi still looked like a young man. He touched his nose, feeling guilty but proud: "I knew you would definitely come back today, so I specifically asked for leave, sir."
Lin Yunwan quickly put away her thoughts.
She flicked his forehead. The boy blushed and looked at her with a smile on his face, his eyes full of invitation.
And she is no longer as gorgeous and glamorous as in the Hou Mansion. Her black hair is like clouds in Wushan Mountain, and her smile is bright and gorgeous, truly showing the alluring beauty that Peony should have.
Lu Zheng looked at her absentmindedly.
I had long forgotten how angry I was just now.
The family of three talked for a while, and Lu Zhengliu also stepped forward to greet Mrs. Lin: "Mother-in-law."
Mrs. Lin was blind and relied on the voice to identify the direction. She smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty." Then she called Lin Yunyi: "Why don't you say hello to your brother-in-law?"
Lin Yunyi couldn't hide his emotions anymore and said very coldly, "Your Majesty."
As soon as they got married, he lost his sister for seven years, and even adopted the child to his sister. If he didn't drive him away, it would be an advantage for him.
Mrs. Lin invited them to sit in the hall.
Lin's family was small, so the process of returning home was very simple, just some unimportant gossip.
Afterwards, Lu Zhengliu wanted to burn a stick of incense in front of Lin Yunwan's father's memorial tablet.
"Your Majesty, no need to trouble."
Lin Yunwan refused.
Lu Zhengliu didn't force it.
It was originally just to give her face, but since she didn't want it, that was all.
Mrs. Lin left the two of them for lunch again.
Normally, if a woman's mother-in-law is satisfied with her new brother-in-law, they will save lunch on the day they return home.
As far as what Wuding Hou Mansion was doing, Lin Yunyi really didn't want to leave his brother-in-law to eat.
Mrs. Lin was a woman and was more considerate of her daughter's difficulties. She didn't expose anything and still allowed them to eat.
After lunch, Lu Zhengliu had official business and had to leave.
When Mrs. Lin said goodbye, she was still very concerned about him: "I heard that the prince's voice was strange, but it was difficult to return to Beijing. Did he catch the cold on the way?"
Lu Zhengliu coughed and said, "It's nothing important." Like Lin Yunwan, he was also a little sick with hot and cold these past few days.
"There is nothing minor about your health. Your Majesty, you should take it to heart."
"I know, thank you mother-in-law for caring."
Lin Yunwan lowered her eyes and slowly used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves in the teacup.
Mrs. Lin also told her son: "Brother Yi, go and see your brother-in-law off."
"...Yes, mother."
Lin Yunyi went reluctantly.
Mrs. Lin pulled Lin Yunwan into the room to talk, frowning and said: "Tell me, mother, what's going on, why do you want to adopt the children in your name? Or two!"
Lin Yunwan sighed silently.
how to say.
She advised her mother: "Mom, I will never have a child of my own in this life. But the adopted eldest son is a good boy. If you don't hate him, I will bring him back to see you next time."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears, clutched her daughter's hand tightly, and said, "Why can't I have my own child? Is the prince sick?"
"No."
"That...is you?" Mrs. Lin's heart ached even more.
"No. Mom, don't ask anymore. My daughter thinks this is good. She doesn't have to give birth by herself and it won't hurt her body." She wiped her mother's tears.
Mrs. Lin was very anxious: "Silly boy, how can the adopted child be the same as her biological child?"
There was nothing Lin Yunwan could do.
There is no way she would have anything happen to Lu Zhengliu again in her life.
But what Mrs. Guo said is right. There is no other way out for a woman. Even if she marries the wrong person, there is no way back.
Mrs. Lin finally said: "Yunwan, you have always been sensible. No matter what you have, I won't ask you any more. If you want to go home one day..."
"Mom, what should I do about my brother?"
Lin Yunwan sighed, if she was alone and left cleanly, even if she cut her hair, what would happen if she stayed as a nun for the rest of her life?
But the younger brother had no way to become an official.
"If nothing else, if Brother Yi wants to find someone to post bail for the imperial examination in the future, the uncles and uncles in the clan won't help." Not only that, but no scholars outside will help.
"Brother Yi is going to get married in the future. If he gives birth to a daughter, his reputation will be affected by me. Are you willing to do it?"
Mrs. Lin was very sad.
Lin Yunwan comforted her: "My daughter is not living a hard life. He, Chang Gong, is my legitimate son. He has a good character and is filial. Sometimes I feel that he still has some shadow of our Lin clan. You will know it when you see him." .”
Mrs. Lin only thought it was a word of comfort for her.
They didn't want Lin Yunyi to know about these things, so they quickly stopped mentioning them. Mrs. Lin said, "The anniversary of your father's death is coming soon."
Lin Yunwan said: "Mom, if you don't mind, I would like to bring a long bow to visit my father's grave and light an everlasting lamp."
Mrs. Lin really wanted to meet him, so she agreed.
Lin Yunyi jumped out and said, "Hey, do I have a nephew?"
Lin Yun smiled: "I'm only five years younger than you."
Lin Yunyi said: "That's my nephew too. He wants to call me uncle."
After waiting for many years, I finally got the pleasure of being an uncle.
On the day of worshiping Taifu Lin, Lin Yunwan took Lu Changgong, made an appointment with Madam Guo, and went up the mountain with her family.
