Chapter 226
After returning to Beijing, Lin Yunwan gave gifts to Qi Lingheng's familiar relatives and friends, and went to a banquet with him.
In the end, the Lin family was left behind.
Everyone knew about the incident between the Lin family's legitimate daughter and the Wuding Hou Mansion.
Although many years have passed since the incident, everyone who heard about it has sympathy for the Lin family.
King Huan returned to Beijing and took his concubine to see his wife, and it was all right.
They went very quietly.
The Lin family did not greet them with a high profile.
When Lin Yunwan and Qi Lingheng went back together, there were still only their mother, younger brother, and a few old servants at home.
Looking at the old beams and tiles, she felt extremely sad.
"long……"
Lin Yunyi immediately changed her words: "Princess Huan, my lord, please come inside."
Lin Yunwan clutched the handkerchief tightly, nodded, and followed Lin Yunyi into the inner courtyard.
Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it any longer. The moment she saw her daughter, tears welled up.
She hugged Lin Yunwan tightly and cried on her daughter's shoulder.
"My son, my son...are you really still..."
Qi Lingheng consciously avoided it, and Lin Yunyi took him next door to drink tea and talk.
"Yun Wan, let mother take a look."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears. She cried and laughed at the same time: "Your brother always says that you are living a good life, but I can't see you and always feel that he is lying to me."
Lin Yunwan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Don't you recognize my daughter's name?"
"Those family letters are all true."
Mrs. Lin cried and said: "Yun Yi didn't let me leave your words. Every time I read it, I burned it. Once it was burned to ashes, there was nothing left, and I felt like I was in a dream."
"My daughter is unfilial."
Lin Yun burst into tears.
Mrs. Lin held her daughter for a long time before she finished talking.
Several years have passed and she has become calmer and more rational.
Mrs. Lin pulled Lin Yunwan to sit down and said, "Good child, just live a good life. If you always think about me and your brother and cause trouble to you, I would rather not see you for the rest of my life."
Lin Yunwan felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Mrs. Lin knew that even if they met now, it would still be no better than before. Her daughter could openly call out to her mother, and the family could reunite if they wanted to.
She didn't want to say anything disappointing, so she said: "This is the first time you have brought the prince back. It was originally the day for you to return to Ning, and my mother couldn't prepare anything in a big way, but I personally cooked a few dishes that you loved to eat when you were a child."
"Jiang Qian's place is very different from our capital! You must not have eaten the food cooked by my mother."
Lin Yunwan smiled sourly: "Others can only learn the appearance of the dishes you cook, but they can't learn the essence."
The mother and daughter talked a lot about themselves.
Mrs. Lin was still a little worried and asked Lin Yunwan quietly: "Does the prince treat you really well?"
Lin Yunwan nodded: "Just like my father treats you."
Even more gentle and considerate than her father.
Mrs. Lin patted the back of her hand and said, "My husband is considerate, which is rare."
In the past few years, so many twists and turns have happened, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she said: "Yun Wan, you are older. You have also reached nirvana. Whatever you and the prince plan, you two can do it! Mom, don't you? No matter what you ask, your brother will always be your brother, and your mother will always be your mother. Let’s not count on the people in the Lin clan."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
She casually asked a few questions about the clan, "How are the clan elders doing now?"
When she came out of Wudinghou's house, her clan members also helped.
Mrs. Lin sighed: "It's good, but it's never easy to shine in the family. The Lin family is getting worse and worse now."
Scholars also have their own contradictions. The Lin family also began to decline, and there was no one who could really take the lead.
"lets change a topic."
Mrs. Lin doesn't want to talk about trivial matters at home.
Lin Yunwan was concerned about her eyes: "You can see everything now, is it okay to shed tears?"
Mrs. Lin told her: "As long as you don't look at the scorching sun, shedding tears all day long is no different from the eyes of an ordinary old woman."
She smiled and said: "Master Li Qi is kind-hearted. When he returns to Beijing every one or two years, he comes to see me."
Lin Yunwan said: "It's for the sake of Mrs. Xia and the prince that he came here, right? Is he in good health?"
"I still look strong, and I still love drinking. Yun Yi saves wine for him every year and buries it under the apricot tree in our yard. He will take it out when he returns to Beijing."
Lin Yunwan was very pleased: "Yun Yi takes care of everything in the family very well."
She was still thinking about one thing, so she asked Mrs. Lin: "Mom, why didn't Yun Yi take the exam three years ago?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment.
Lin Yunwan looked at her quietly.
Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "Yun Yi won't let me tell you. You can ask him yourself."
"Sister, haven't you and mother finished talking yet?"
Lin Yunyi came in.
Lin Yunwan stood up and smiled lightly: "That's it. Yun Yi, come with me. I have something to ask you."
She had a smile on her face, but her tone was serious.
Lin Yunyi hadn't seen Lin Yunwan for several years. He didn't know what made his sister angry, so he glanced at Qi Lingheng.
He wanted his brother-in-law to help him.
Qi Lingheng coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Yun Yi, you wish for more blessings."
Lin Yunyi was speechless.
When he passed by Qi Lingheng, he said, "Why are you, my brother-in-law, so unreliable?"
Qi Lingheng smiled lightly and followed her, "If your sister wants to get angry, it won't be helpful even if Qi Zaijun comes, let alone me."
