Chapter 189
"Is everything settled?"
Mrs. Lin clutched a string of Buddhist beads tightly in both hands.
Several of the masters and ladies in charge of the Lin family were standing in front of her.
Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin came out.
The eldest lady replied first: "Go back to me, madam, everything is settled."
Mr. Lin said specially: "Your Majesty is already bathing and changing clothes, and has already sent for Jiang Qian's doctor."
Mrs. Lin's heart was still in her throat.
She opened her eyes and asked her eldest son: "How does the prince look? Are you injured?"
"No."
Mr. Lin recalled it carefully and said, "The prince came up after fishing out Yun Wan. Nothing happened. He didn't even choke on the water."
"It would be great."
Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes suddenly turned sharp: "What's going on with you two? Why did you bring the prince to the lotus pond?!"
She glared at her two sons and said, "If something happens to the prince really in our house, can you two take the responsibility?!"
This accident was so shocking that even her old man was frightened.
Mr. Lin bowed and said, "Mother, it's the son's fault."
Lin Huabin had no choice but to lower his head and say: "...Mom, it's because the sons are careless."
Aunt Fan went over to help Mrs. Lin, and whispered: "It's not the fault of the two gentlemen, it was the prince himself who rushed to save people."
Mrs. Lin just looked at her two sons. She only asked her eldest son: "Did the prince run there by himself?"
Mr. Lin nodded and said: "Someone shouted in the lotus pond, and the prince passed by. My second brother and I were too late to stop him."
Mrs. Lin looked at Aunt Fan.
The prince is a supreme being, how could he rush to save people so recklessly?
This doesn't make sense.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
The flower halls in the front yard and backyard of Lin Mansion are still very lively.
Mrs. Lin said: "Old madam, the guests in the front yard and the back yard are still waiting..."
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Mrs. Lin said: "All the guests in the courtyard are not as important as the prince."
"Let's wait until the prince has finished changing his clothes."
Mrs. Lin lowered her head and said, "Yes."
But I was still worried about another thing.
This is something that everyone understands tacitly. Both girls from the Lin family fell into the water. The prince and Zheng's nephew rescued them respectively. The girl's innocence was lost!
But the old lady didn't mention it, and no one dared to mention it.
Lin Huabin's face was gloomy and he was pacing in the room.
Mrs. Zheng rushed over and barged in with a bloodless face. She didn't even say hello to the old lady, but grabbed Lin Huabin and asked, "I heard that both our girls fell into the water?!"
What she and Wen's mother had discussed was to just push Yun Wan into the water.
Why did both of them fall into the water?
Lin Huabin looked unhappy: "...Yes."
"I-I heard that the prince also jumped into the water to save people?"
"yes!"
Mrs. Zheng opened her lips and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, did the prince save Yun Jiao or... or..."
"It's Yun Wan."
Lin Huabin whispered.
Zheng's vision went dark and she almost fainted.
Lin Huabin supported her and frowned: "You... you are really! Why are you here to cause trouble?"
Madam Zheng cried: "Why, how could it be Yun Wan? How could it be her?"
It's all over now!
Mrs. Lin glanced over coldly and asked, "Why can't it be Yun Wan?"
Zheng raised her head and realized that the atmosphere here was very gloomy. She seemed to have said the wrong thing.
Lin Huabin urged her: "Why don't you say hello to the old lady?"
Mrs. Zheng wiped away her tears, got up and said, "Please be safe, madam."
Her legs were still weak and she was half leaning on Lin Huabin.
Lin Huabin was also afraid that she would make a fool of herself if she fell, so he begged the old lady for mercy.
Mrs. Lin said coldly: "Sit down."
I felt very unhappy.
She asked her eldest daughter-in-law: "Why is there no woman on duty in the garden? Even if the girl fell into the water, it would not be the turn of two men to save her."
The eldest lady was regretful and worried: "...there were not enough people in the front and back yard, so I also transferred the women in the garden to use them, but they were only available for a moment, less than two-quarters of an hour. After they finished delivering the things, they immediately left Gotta go back.”
"It's my daughter-in-law's fault. I didn't know that in just a short time, something went wrong!"
The eldest lady was about to kneel down, and Aunt Fan quickly stopped her: "What are you doing, eldest lady! You are the wife of the Lin family. Even if you are not good at it, the old lady will teach you. You cannot kneel."
When he knelt down, his face was gone.
The eldest lady cried with tears all over her face.
After all these years of being in charge of the family, when had she ever made such a big mistake?
Mrs. Zheng lowered her head beside her and deliberately rubbed her eyebrows, not even daring to look at Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin.
...I wonder if the old witch is looking at her.
Mrs. Lin withdrew her gaze calmly and said to her eldest daughter-in-law: "There are guests in the backyard. You should freshen up. I am here."
The eldest wife was also a person who had been through the storm. Although her hairpin was messed up, she quickly cheered up and said, "My daughter-in-law, please leave."
I took my confidants to freshen up and change clothes, and first entertain the guests who came over today for full moon wine.
Not long after, Qi Lingheng took a shower and came out of the guest room.
Mr. Lin and brothers Lin Huabin were waiting outside.
Qi Lingheng's face was pale, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He said to Mr. Lin: "I haven't drunk your grandson's full moon wine yet. Why don't you invite me to drink?"
Mr. Lin said in panic: "Please. Your Majesty, please come this way."
Taking Qi Lingheng to a very clean courtyard in the front yard, the prince would of course not sit with ordinary people. The people sitting there were all people who were worthy enough to talk to the prince.
After the banquet was over, Qi Lingheng went to greet Mrs. Lin.
He was a little drunk, so he left quickly.
Mr. Lin and Lin Huabin both had sad faces when they came back from seeing the prince off.
"The prince has never mentioned rescuing people from the beginning to the end..."
The elder sighed: "Mother, what do you mean by this?"
Mrs. Lin held the prayer beads and said, "I can't say for sure."
Lin Huabin said anxiously: "Mother, didn't you ask the prince just now?"
"The prince is already drunk. How should I ask? What if the prince agrees at that time and later says he was drunk? What will the Lin family do? What will Yun Wan do?"
Mrs. Lin said angrily: "It's a small thing for a girl to lose her integrity. There are many ways to deal with it. If you offend the prince, your official career will come to an end!"
Mr. Lin was very worried.
Lin Huabin's beard was also trembling: "Mother, what do you mean... to send Yun Wan... to a nunnery?"
Mrs. Lin was very calm: "Don't worry. Your Majesty is drunk, and he should be sober tomorrow."
"Since Your Majesty saved your daughter, you should come and say thank you."
"Thank you in advance, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has no intention of taking a concubine..."
Mrs. Lin was still a little reluctant to give up. There were so many girls in the house, but her eldest granddaughter and Yun Wan were her favorites. They were both smart and steady, and were born to be the wives of the house.
"Then take it to the nunnery."
Lin Huabin did not dare to agree.
It would be fine if this was really his daughter, she was Zhao Jingyi's daughter.
He should talk to Zhao Jingyi first!
"Maybe the prince knew that it was his cousin, so he jumped into the water to save her."
"Then things will be easier to handle."
"Yun Wan being a concubine to King Huan doesn't seem to be treating her badly."
Zhao Jingyi won't be angry.
Lin Huabin figured it out on the way back home alone, but he was very regretful: "Why isn't it Wen Hai..."
If Wen Hai rescued Yun Wan and King Huan rescued Yun Jiao, wouldn't it be perfect!
