Chapter 207
"Old lady?"
Lin Yunwan and Qi Lingheng returned to the second room of Lin Mansion together. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin was waiting for them here.
She went over and curtsied.
"You are already a princess."
Mrs. Lin stood up and helped Lin Yunwan stand up. Logically speaking, she could not accept the princess's courtesy.
Qi Lingheng just nodded politely.
Lin Huabin next to him, although he was a father, acted like an insignificant person.
He felt quite uncomfortable.
After all, he is also the prince’s nominal father-in-law!
"Everyone sit down."
Mrs. Lin and Lin Yunwan said, "You...the second sister will be here soon."
After sitting down, Lin Yunwan felt very deserted. She asked, "Why isn't my wife here?"
Without Lin Yunjiao, there are only two concubines in the second room of Lin Mansion, and the aunt rarely shows up, so it is really much cleaner.
Lin Huabin said nothing, but Mrs. Lin said calmly: "My wife is sick."
Lin Yunwan should ask his wife about it, but Mrs. Lin said: "It's not a serious illness. You don't need to keep it in mind, and there's no need to go to the hospital."
This would have nothing to do with Lin Yunwan.
But she knew in her heart, why did Zheng become ill suddenly? The old lady came here specially, maybe Zheng has already been punished!
"Father, mother!"
Lin Yunjiao came in in a hurry, and Wen Hai followed behind her, lowering his head and mumbling something unknown.
She was startled when she saw a strange man at home.
Lin Huabin scolded her: "Why are you so reckless after getting married?"
Lin Yunjiao was stunned for a moment and restrained her words and actions, because when she saw Mrs. Lin, she went over to say hello: "Old Madam."
Mrs. Lin said: "I haven't given the prince and princess any gifts yet."
She didn't say she was a sister-in-law.
Lin Yunjiao also knew very well that she and Lin Yunwan were not biological sisters, they were just enemies!
She gritted her teeth, walked over and said, "Your Majesty, Princess."
Qi Lingheng had no reaction.
He and the female family members did not speak.
Wen Hai, forced by Lin Huabin's eyes, also went over to say hello: "Your Majesty, Princess."
Lin Yunwan simply said: "Sister, brother-in-law."
The two young couples sat down. Lin Yunwan sat next to Mrs. Lin. Lin Yunjiao was very restless and asked Lin Huabin doubtfully: "Dad, where is my mother?"
Lin Huabin told her not to ask any more questions, then hurried to talk to Qi Lingheng.
He wanted to say something official.
He has been in Jiangqian Qingshui Yamen for many years since he passed the imperial examination and entered the official career. The fake daughter got married and poached so much of his wealth, causing him to owe a lot of money to his eldest brother and his third brother.
They all have IOUs written down in black and white. If he can't find a way to pay them back, he won't be able to live a good life again in the future!
"Your Majesty, I have a staff member who happens to be from Yulin County."
"Yulin County not only has Yuqian ointment and Yuqian fragrant cakes, but the river embankments in Yulin County are being repaired every year. I heard that they will start repairing again this year..."
When talking about Jiangqian delicacies, Lin Huabin mentioned going up the river embankment.
Mrs. Lin knows her son's virtues best. He usually won't offend others, but where there is oil and water, he will take advantage of it.
I heard that he sold off many of his beloved calligraphy, painting and antiques. This is really urgent!
But she wouldn't use favors on such things.
Mrs. Lin smiled and reminded Lin Huabin: "You don't care about the river embankment, so what are you talking about? We are all women and don't understand your officialdom. Please talk to me, an old woman, about home affairs!"
Lin Huabin said sarcastically: "...Yes."
He felt a little unhappy. How could his mother dismantle him?
Lin Yunwan continued to talk to Mrs. Lin about Jiang Qian's delicacies. Qi Lingheng listened patiently and occasionally asked a few questions.
Wen Hai didn't dare to speak.
Lin Yunjiao felt that this no longer looked like her home! Not in the mood to talk either.
She only wanted to finish talking quickly so that she could go see Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Lin had no intention of leaving Lin Yunwan and Qi Lingheng to eat. She first said she was tired and sighed: "My body is not as good as before."
Her maid came over and said, "Old madam, it's time for you to go back and take your medicine."
Mrs. Lin said she was leaving.
Lin Yunwan said: "I'll send it to you."
She was about to leave, how could Qi Lingheng still sit here?
He stood up and said warmly: "I'll see you off too."
"Your Majesty..."
Lin Huabin was a little anxious. Why did he leave in a hurry before he even said a few words to his son-in-law?
He is now the prince's father-in-law. Why is he so anxious?
He wants to show off his father-in-law, no matter what the prince says, he should accept it!
"Your Majesty."
Lin Huabin looked serious.
Mrs. Lin glanced at him and said, "Send me back too! Second child, have you not helped me take my medicine for many years?"
"……yes."
Lin Huabin felt a little guilty. How old is he? Aren't there servants who can do such trivial things?
Lin Yunjiao stood up and said, "Old madam, my mother is sick. My husband and I... will go see my mother first."
"Um."
Mrs. Lin nodded and left the two of them alone.
Lin Yunwan and Qi Lingheng saw the old lady out together. The two of them were very attentive, one on the left and the other on the right, helping the old lady out.
Lin Huabin also followed.
Lin Yunjiao vaguely heard Qi Lingheng's words: "Listen to the princess...see what the princess wants..."
The old lady smiled and joked: "The prince dotes on the princess too much."
Qi Lingheng took it for granted: "Since we are husband and wife, the princess should come first in everything."
After the voice faded away, Lin Yunjiao looked at the dull Wenhai and snorted.
Monk Wenhai Zhanger was confused.
Why are you angry again!
"Why……"
Thinking of their wedding night, the bloody marks on his body from being scratched...
Forget it, good men don’t fight with women.
"What are you still doing?"
Lin Yunjiao shot back and glared at Wen Hai.
Wen Hai was still deep in thought, but he was so frightened that he hurriedly followed.
He asked softly: "Mother, mother, where are we going?"
"You idiot, didn't you hear that my mother was sick? Of course you went to see my mother!"
"oh oh!"
Wen Hai thought of his mother-in-law and scratched his head.
"How could my aunt be willing to marry sister Yunjiao to me..."
Having lived in the Lin Mansion for such a long time, he knew that his aunt had always looked down upon him.
Although he saved Yunjiao, given Lin's family background...
The aunt probably reluctantly agreed to the marriage, and she didn't know how to face his mother-in-law now.
"A foot ban? Who dares to ban my mother's feet?!"
As soon as Lin Yunjiao passed by, she saw the mother-in-law guarding Zheng's yard.
She frowned and said, "Where's Mother Fan? I want to see Mother Fan!"
It’s time for her to meet her subordinates!
The mother-in-law who did the rough work said not very politely: "Mother Fan? Hahahahahaha, second aunt, grandma, go to Java to find her!"
Lin Yunjiao found it unbelievable, how could her home become like this after not going home for two days?
