What if Lin Xi died directly in Yecheng?
If Zhaoyu becomes the only son of the Lin family, the only person Lin Hewen can rely on is her son. Let's see what else he can do?
Do you still dare to treat her as anything but a human being like you do now?
Xu felt so much like that, so she brought Lin Hewen's favorite tea and went to her study to find him. Unexpectedly, Madam Wen was now bringing the illegitimate son to enjoy the pleasure of being with Lin Hewen.
Because of this, she suddenly became uncomfortable, but now she knew what was the most important thing for her, so she no longer cared about other things. With a smile on her face, she looked at Madam Wen and said softly, "So my sister is here too. What's wrong? Child, how are you? I heard that you were sick again a few days ago?"
Xu knew that Madam Wen's child was born with an incurable disease. This was no longer a secret, but Lin Hewen didn't seem to care at all. How could Xu accept this?
She had finally made it to the position of mistress of the Lin family, but now with the appearance of Madam Wen, she had completely lost her status in Lin Hewen's heart.
In her heart, Xu not only resented Lin Xi, but also Lin Xiu for sending Madam Wen to Lin Hewen.
Her sister-in-law, after getting married, still lives with her children in her parents' home, without any regard for taboos, and because of this she became the one who discovered the current situation.
Some things have come to such a point that she no longer wants to talk about them.
She dealt with bitches like Lin Xiu and Madam Wen one by one.
In the future, the Lin family must be added to Lin Zhaoyu's hands.
The smile on Xu's face became even gentler. In her heart, she already knew that Lin Hewen, this man, had changed his mind when he met Madam Wen. Now he was completely devoted to Madam Wen and her child.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. An'er is much better now. The doctor said that he can go out and get some fresh air in the next few days." Madam Wen was unwilling to relax because she knew how cruel the mistress in front of her was.
Seeing this, Lin Hewen said, "It's a good thing that you two are in harmony. There are some things that we won't talk about now, but illness doesn't mean that we won't talk about them in the future."
"If you can behave yourself and do your job now, good things will happen."
At this point, Xu smiled slightly and said to Lin Hewen, "Master, I want to go to Sancai Temple these days to pray for Zhaoyu. I heard news from my hometown that Zhaoyu has a health problem and he has not eaten or drunk for a month in order to repent."
Hearing this, a trace of pity flashed across Lin Hewen's face. He had been personally raising Lin Zhaoyu since he was born. How could he not feel a bit of heartache when seeing his current appearance?
This incident has come to this point, and many people have never thought about why this incident made Lin Zhaoyu become what he is now.
Ever since she married Lin Hewen, Xu changed her once spoiled character. For so many years, she always thought that Lin Hewen only had her in his heart, but now it seems that in Lin Hewen's heart, he has long wanted to have three wives and four concubines like other people.
Now, there is only Madam Wen, what about the future?
Will there be more people in the future?
Now, in her heart, Xu no longer believed Lin Hewen at all. When she looked at him, there was no longer the love she once had in her eyes.
Lin Hewen seemed to remember his little daughter who had disappeared for a long time, and asked, "Xu, Yue'er, has she not contacted you again?"
Madam Wen, who was always quiet, raised her head unconsciously and looked at Xu. She remembered the woman who had come to her yard and peeped some time ago. She couldn't see her face clearly and didn't know who she was. She only saw a blurry back, and it looked like a young woman.
She seemed to have great resentment towards her own children.
Ever since she sensed the woman's hostility, she had a strong sense of crisis in her heart. This child of hers was not easy to come by. If the child really died in this house, how would she live in the future?
At the beginning, the promise she made with Miss Lin was that she would help her keep a child in this house.
Miss Lin Xi knew that she had a child before she entered the Lin Mansion, but that child unfortunately died, and she still couldn't get over it. Her life became much better after she had this child.
She had always treated Mr. Lin as a vaccinated person and never treated her sincerely.
But seeing that the lady really treated Master Lin as a newcomer, she also shook her head. After Xu left, she saw a guilty look on Lin Hewen's face. She grabbed Lin Hewen's arm and said, "Master, why don't you go up to accompany the mistress tonight? The eldest young master and the second young lady are both not around the mistress at this time. Naturally, she is not feeling well."
Hearing Aunt Wen's words of comfort, Lin Hewen was very happy in his heart, and patted her cheek, "You are still the most sensible."
After all, the reason why Lin Hewen loves her so much now is that he also loved his mistress so much in the past. In Madam Wen's heart, she never took the master's words as the truth, nor did she take his kindness to her to heart. Now in her heart, the child is the most important thing.
At night.
Lin Hewen walked to the gate of Xu's yard. She hadn't seen Xu for a long time. She used to be able to walk into Xu's yard happily, but now, walking into Xu's yard made her feel psychologically burdened.
"Xu's family?"
Xu walked out slowly from the inner room, her hair disheveled and she felt very sad.
She went from being the high and mighty mistress of the Lin Mansion to falling into the quagmire and being imprisoned in the yard by Lin Hewen, and then released.
In the past, all she wanted was Lin Hewen's wholehearted love, but now in her heart, she no longer desires for anything else. She knows that Lin Hewen must look down on her now, and many people are scolding her for being cruel behind her back, but she doesn't care.
She only cares about Lin Hewen.
In the end, I found out that Lin Hewen is really unreliable and not worthy of relying on at all.
Now, many people don't know what to say about this matter. The heroine slaps her aunt in the face, gains fame in front of everyone in the capital, and makes the heroine appear pitiful, which makes Princess Ankang like her. After returning, she lays a plan to tear off the good person mask of her aunt and guide her cousin to do bad things.
The courtyard, which was not very big to begin with, suddenly saw more elegantly dressed women. After hearing Jiang Xiu's voice, they followed her into the courtyard.
The Jiang family originally had only one branch. My aunt Jiang Xiu married a son-in-law, so my father decided to open a separate branch for my aunt. Later, after my mother passed away, he married his current second wife, Xu. After Xu came into the mansion, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. She has been living with my grandfather in Yecheng and rarely comes back.
Lin Xi also gradually remembered that the Chen Mansion had originally invited her stepsister Jiang Yuanyue to this banquet, but her aunt insisted that she go with her. When she arrived, she encountered this incident. Before she had time to think about it, she heard her aunt say in front of everyone:
"Sister Yan, you were not wearing this when you came here!" Jiang Xiu was already middle-aged, wearing a crimson dress. Her face looked kind and approachable, but if you looked closely, you could see a shrewd and fierce look in the corners of her eyes.
Lin Xi looked calm and waited for her to continue. She remembered clearly that when she started to explain, others thought she was guilty and couldn't explain herself. So the matter between her and Chen Chu was settled in an unclear way.
However, she still didn't understand what on earth was there about her that could make them plot against her like this.
Jiang Xiu took a step forward, took her hand, and said loudly: "Sister Yan, did you do something and are too embarrassed to tell your aunt? Your aunt will make the decision for you."
After she said that, the eyes of the noble ladies she brought with her fell on Lin Xi. Now everyone present understood that today's banquet was a trap for Miss Jiang. Some of the ladies who were afraid of the situation looked at Lin Xi with a bit of pity and regret.
Lin Xi turned around and stared straight at Jiang Xiu's face, her brows serious and her voice sharp: "Aunt, what do you mean by this? I just went to change clothes and there was no one to serve me. I got lost and got caught in the rain. Later, I met a maid and she brought me here."
Jiang Xiu's face changed. She didn't expect that she was not as easy to manipulate as her face showed. She frowned and thought about their plan. They had to confirm the relationship between her and Chen Chu today.
She quickly winked at Chen, the eldest wife of the Chen family, who was standing nearby. She quickly said "Eh" and said loudly, "Why is my brother here?"
Lin Xi raised her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law Chen, who had tried every means to torture her in her previous life. She sneered and actually forgot about her.
If I don't stop their thoughts today, I'm afraid they will plot against me again in the future.
Chen Chu stood outside the courtyard gate, walking and stopping, very reluctant to appear in everyone's sight. He frowned, with the heroic spirit of a military general. When no one was paying attention, he glanced at his mother and pursed his lips into a straight line.
"My son meets his mother and all the aunts and ladies." Chen Chu said reluctantly. His eight-foot-tall height was particularly conspicuous among the crowd of women.
Lin Xi looked at him. Even though the light was dim, she could still see his angular face. Among all the young men in Kyoto, he was considered to be of superior appearance. However, the image of Chen Xun's ice-like face appeared in her mind.
Chen Chu lowered his head, glanced around, and stopped at Lin Xi's face. The faint light from the lantern made her fair cheeks red and her eyes bright. A double-petal peony was pinned on her hair, and it and her hair fluttered in the evening breeze, adding a bit of beauty to her elegant face.
He hadn't expected that the man his mother had asked him to marry would be so attractive in appearance. His heart skipped a beat and he didn't even notice the person next to him calling him.
"If you're not going to the banquet, why are you here?" Chen said this with a smile.
Chen Chu thought of his mother's arrangement, and the corners of his lips rose. He was very satisfied with Lin Xi and was naturally happy with their arrangement. He asked repeatedly, "Did someone call me out to wait here?"
Without waiting for Lin Xi to figure out, Jiang Xiu took out a handkerchief, pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and tilted her figure: "Sister Yan, how could you do such a thing..."
Lin Xi smiled, raised her eyes and asked, "Mr. Chen didn't even say who invited him, aunt, how do you have any evidence to say it was me?"
Chen Chu blinked, turned to look at his mother, and after a long while, his face turned red as he tried to hold it in, he quickly said, "I've brought the maid with me too, she's waiting outside."
When everyone saw his hesitant expression, they couldn't help but think of the things between men and women. But when they saw Lin Xi's calm and composed look, they wondered if they had made a mistake.
Lin Xi couldn't remember which maid she had brought out today. She calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "What did the maid look like? What was she wearing?"
Jiang grabbed her arm and said, "Sister Yan, you did such a thing, why are you still trying to make excuses here? Master Chen, I didn't say it out of respect for you."
"Aunt, the matter has not been concluded yet. Why are you so anxious to accuse me? You and I are a family. What's more, a girl's reputation is so important. If my mother were still alive, wouldn't she feel sad to see what I have gone through?" Lin Xi lowered his eyes, pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and began to think about the person who could speak for him in this situation.
After all this talk, the lady present could no longer bear it and stood up and said repeatedly: "This matter has not been fully understood yet. It is possible that the maid has passed on the wrong information."
There are so many twists and turns in the inner courtyard that it is impossible for them to see clearly, but this is related to the woman's innocence. Regardless of whether she is wrong or not, if Lin Xi cannot handle it well, her reputation will be ruined.
With tears in her eyes, Lin Xi looked at the lady who spoke for her, bowed gracefully and thanked her. She was truly pitiful.
She couldn't remember which maid she had brought with her, nor did she know whether that maid was the one her aunt had placed beside her. So, she stepped back a few steps and said in a soft and slow voice, "Although I left the table, I only came to change clothes. The maid I met on the road can testify for me that she is also a maid from the general's mansion. Wouldn't Madam Chen recognize her?"
Chen wanted to say more, but when she looked carefully, she saw that the maid was actually someone close to Chen Xun, and her expression became very ugly.
The maid was not afraid either, and finally stood up. After bowing respectfully, she spoke: "I bumped into Miss Jiang in the corridor. I saw that her clothes were wet by the rain, so I brought her here to change her clothes. The Third Master has already reported this to the old ancestor."
The old ancestor the maid mentioned was Chen's mother-in-law. Upon hearing this, Chen's cheeks turned pale and she stammered for a long time without being able to speak.
Jiang Xiu didn't expect her to be so useless. Due to the current situation, it would be difficult to throw dirty water on her. She simply gave up. She smiled and walked forward, holding Lin Xi's arm: "Aunt is also afraid that you will do something wrong. If you say something wrong in a hurry, please forgive your aunt."
Lin Xi pushed her hand away indifferently, and replied in a calm tone: "Aunt is the elder, and as a junior, I can only bear whatever the elders say. How can I talk about forgiveness or not?"
"I have only been here for two or three days since I came from Yecheng. How did you know Master Chen, aunt?"
Jiang Xiu was stunned, and looked at Lin Xi suspiciously. Seeing her quiet appearance, she was so eloquent. She was the one who was fooled. Seeing the unfriendly looks from everyone, she could only bow her head again and said to the ladies who were watching the show, "I'm sorry to make you ladies laugh. It's my fault as an elder."
She had never felt so embarrassed in her life to apologize to the junior. Looking at Lin Xi's smiling face, she was really gritting her teeth.
"Aunt, how can I ask you to apologize to me? It's my fault." Lin Xi took the initiative to step forward and took her arm, saying with a smile in her eyes.
