Chapter 260 Looking for Lin Chengyu
In the Linhuai Palace, Lin Chengyu suddenly sneezed. Xuan Zheng was anxious and quickly put a coat on him, saying, "You must have caught a cold last night. I told you to cover yourself with a quilt, but you refused to listen. Now you have to take medicine again."
"What are you drinking?" Lin Chengyu pulled off the clothes he had just put on. It was so sunny, and putting on clothes would make people faint from the heat.
Besides, it wasn’t cold last night, not to mention that Xuan Zheng was making so much noise that covering himself with the quilt was enough to make one feel hot as hell.
"I feel like someone is talking about me." Lin Chengyu said thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on the water, and he already had a guess in his mind.
The Jia family's actions are not secretive. If you pay a little attention, you can know what they are doing.
The water surface moved slightly, Lin Chengyu's eyes lit up, and his hands moved quickly, "Haha, I caught another one."
Lin Chengyu looked at the big, plump fish carefully, thinking about how to eat it.
Xuan Zheng praised generously: "My baby is amazing."
Lin Chengyu glanced at Xuan Zheng's victory, and couldn't hide the pride between his eyebrows, "Alas, someone said that he was very powerful, but he is just so-so."
"Someone" laughed softly and said with emotion: "No matter how powerful someone is, he can't be more powerful than his wife."
"You..." Lin Chengyu wanted to hit him on the head with a fishing rod, "You feel good about being naughty, don't you?"
Xuan Zheng raised the index finger of his free hand and shook it. It was obviously a casual action, but in Lin Chengyu's eyes, it felt different.
This is crazy, he thought.
Xuan Zheng seemed oblivious to all this, and with the corners of his lips slightly raised, he said, "As long as I'm with you, I'm happy to do anything."
Lin Chengyu knew that these were not sweet words, but just these words could make his heart beat faster for a moment.
"He'll be glib."
Lin Chengyu muttered softly, but the embarrassment in her tone could not escape Xuan Zheng's ears. He tilted his head to look at Lin Chengyu and saw that his ears were red, but he still pretended to be nothing, and there was a bit of doting in his eyes.
However, the originally warm atmosphere was broken by the people from the Jia family.
Grandmother Jia is ill.
Lin Chengyu also recognized the visitor from the Jia family. He was the powerful servant of the Jia family, Lai Da.
Lai Dafeng came to "invite" Lin Chengyu on behalf of Lady Jia. After he finished speaking, he did not dare to raise his head. He knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the slightly cold gravel road, without any of the majesty of the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion.
You know, in the Jia family, except for the old masters with high seniority, even the young masters have to give him some face.
But in the Linhuai Palace, he dared not show any prestige at all and was as humble as possible.
Xuan Zheng said calmly, "Can you ask the imperial physician to come over and take a look?"
Lai Da hurriedly replied respectfully: "The imperial physician has examined her. Although there is nothing serious, the old lady really misses you, so I came here to ask you to go and take a look. It can also ease the old lady's heart and benefit her health."
Lin Chengyu glanced sideways. Lai Da was indeed Lady Jia's confidant. He had set him up against someone with just a few words. If he didn't go, wouldn't he be considered an unfilial person?
Xuan Zheng's eyes were cold, and he looked at Lai Da as if he was looking at a dead man. Lai Da suddenly felt as if there was a knife hanging over his head, which could fall down at any time.
Lai Da has been the chief steward for too long. Although he knows he should be more cautious now, he still can't change his bad habits in speaking. Every time he opens his mouth, people want to slap him.
If he spoke nicely, would Lin Chengyu still cold-bloodedly say no?
Grandmother Jia is the elder, and although she always has ulterior motives and greed when interacting with Lin Chengyu, she ultimately does nothing to truly hurt him.
Now that she is "sick", Lin Chengyu is going to visit her.
When Lai Da saw that he agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat.
The Jia family was obviously well prepared. Lai Da came with a carriage. Lin Chengyu suddenly found it a little funny, but without saying anything, he just got on.
Xuan Zheng lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "I have asked someone to send the fish we caught to the kitchen. You can eat them when you come back in the evening."
Lin Chengyu said obediently: "Okay."
The playful and cute look made Xuan Zheng laugh again. Lai Da, who was standing aside, lowered his head and dared not look, but his heart was already in turmoil. He suddenly regretted making this trip.
Arriving at the Jia residence, when Grandmother Jia saw Lin Chengyu coming in, her sickly face showed a bit of relief, and she said weakly, "Come here quickly, let your grandmother take a good look at you."
She looked as if she would not live long. Lin Chengyu felt that the old lady's acting was a bit exaggerated.
"Grandmother, how are you?" It was just a show of acting, Lin Chengyu was not afraid at all. He stepped forward and looked at Grandmother Jia with concern, and anxiously asked Yuanyang beside him, "What did the imperial physician say when he came?"
Before Yuanyang could speak, Grandmother Jia coughed a few times and said, "It's nothing serious. I'm old, and it's normal to have some minor illnesses. It won't hurt if I take good care of myself on a daily basis..."
Grandmother Jia didn't want the topic to dwell on her illness. Without waiting for Lin Chengyu to speak, she looked even more sad and distressed. "It's just that I've been so anxious about your second brother Bao's affairs these days that I can't hold on any longer."
Her method was too old-fashioned. Lin Chengyu could figure out the process just by thinking with a strand of hair.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Grandmother Jia was not annoyed. She had long known that her grandson was a man of his own ideas, otherwise he would not have been conferred the title of marquis at such a young age.
She sighed and continued, "Grandmother didn't want to bother you with this matter, but you also know that since your elder brother Xianzhu passed away, Baoyu has been your second uncle's only son. How can anyone bear the pain of separation from flesh and blood?"
She knew that the Lin family disliked Wang, so she never mentioned her.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyu also sighed, "Who says it's not true? But the imperial decree has been issued. The emperor's words are golden. How can he change his mind overnight?"
Grandmother Jia said anxiously, "You have a lot of say in front of the emperor, can't you speak up for your second uncle and Baoyu?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she coughed violently, as if Lin Chengyu made her extremely anxious. If outsiders saw this, they would not know how to describe Lin Chengyu.
For the sake of Jia Baoyu, Grandmother Jia was willing to sacrifice her old bones to force Lin Chengyu to agree.
"Even if grandma begs you, isn't that enough?" Grandmother Jia said, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked very pitiful as she begged humbly. "Grandma knows that you are in this position now, and there are so many eyes watching you. But if there is really no other way, I would never bother you."
