Return of the Wasted Wife of Time Traveling

"Zhu Xiu'e and my father are young couples. Although their marriage was ordered by their parents and the matchmaker's words, they got along harmoniously after marriage. They gave birth to my eldest brother Lin Maode and my eldest sister Lin Yurong. Later, my father's official career was smooth and he was promoted all the way. In his early thirties, he served as Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but Lin Xiu’e’s health is getting worse and worse because of getting older.” Lin Jinghuan paused for a moment, and sighed, “Because of the deep respect of the late emperor, my father often entered the palace to discuss affairs with the late emperor. Occasionally, I also attend palace banquets. That’s how I met my mother.”

Lin Jinghuan's mother was obviously not an ordinary person to appear in the palace banquet.

Lin Jinghuan: "My mother was born in the Zhao family in the capital city. She is the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family. The queen mother at that time, and now the empress dowager is my mother's aunt. In order to ensure the glory of the Zhao family, my mother was also the candidate for the first emperor and queen."

Wen Jinyu was startled when he heard this. He really didn't expect Mrs. Lin to have such a big background.

At the same time, he was also curious as to why the original candidate for queen married Lin Pu.

And according to this statement, Lin Pu was nearly forty at that time, and Mrs. Lin should still be a young lady in her twenties.

"For some reason, my mother fell in love with my father, who was over 30 years old and had a wife at home, and begged the queen mother at that time, and now the queen mother, to marry my father." In fact, Lin Jinghuan didn't understand. Why did she fall in love with her father, "The Empress Dowager loves her mother, and she also knows that her arrogant and domineering character is not suitable for entering the middle palace. She fulfilled her wish and promised to marry her and her father. Let the concubine daughter of the Zhao family, the current queen mother, enter the palace instead of her mother."

Wen Jinyu: "What about Zhu Xiu'e? Your mother has such a noble status and such an arrogant personality, it is impossible for her to be a concubine willingly."

Lin Jinghuan nodded, "My mother wanted to marry my father, but she was unwilling to be a concubine, and the Empress Dowager also did not want her own niece to be a concubine, so she invited Zhu Xiu'e, who was ill, to visit the lake and enjoy the snow in winter. After Zhu Xiu'e went through all this trouble, she couldn't get sick when she returned home, and died within half a year. My father knew the reason, but he had no proof, so he couldn't blame anyone. All he could do was refuse the marriage and swore to death. I don’t want to marry my mother to come in.”

But looking at the current results, in the end Lin Pu still couldn't hold back his thighs, so he married Lin Jinghuan's mother.

"The empress dowager put pressure on her. Even if my father didn't care about his official career, he still had to think about his family. Finally, in the second year after Zhu Xiu'e died, he married his mother."

Perhaps to express his dissatisfaction, Lin Pu began to take concubines shortly after Mrs. Lin started his career, two concubines a year, but never entered Mrs. Lin's room.

Two years after they got married, Lin Pu's concubine, Mrs. Qi, gave birth to a son for Lin Pu. The birth of this child also completely stimulated the proud Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin made a big fuss about the Lin family. Relying on her status as the mistress of the Lin family, she refused to recognize this child and did not allow this child to enter the Lin family tree.

Later, both Lin Pu and Mrs. Lin took a step back, and the child entered the family tree, but the child's name had to be distinguished from the legitimate son's name.

So Zhu Xiu'e's sons and daughters, and later Lin Jinghuan's sister and brother, all have three-character names, but the second son Lin Hua, who was born in the concubine's room, has two-character names.

In the same year that Lin Hua was born, Mrs. Lin also became pregnant, and gave birth to Lin Zhuangjing the following year.

Afterwards, the husband and wife went through a long period of cold war. It was not until Lin Pu was relegated and his official career entered a trough. Mrs. Lin relied on her natal relationship to run around for Lin Pu, and Lin Pu began to face Mrs. Lin squarely.

The relationship between the husband and wife gradually eased, and it was only in the fifth year of their marriage that Lin Jinghuan was born.

Even so, everything about Zhu Xiu'e is still a hurdle between husband and wife that cannot be overcome, like a thorn in the throat, difficult to swallow.

There were still conflicts, the two quarreled and quarreled all their lives, until Lin Pu passed away, neither of them was willing to compromise.

Lin Jinghuan told Wen Jinyu in a flat tone that before Lin Pu passed away, he had repeatedly expressed the hope that his soul would return to his hometown and be buried with Zhu Xiu'e who was buried in Changyu.

But Mrs. Lin disagreed.

After Lin Pu passed away, he was buried in the capital by Mrs. Lin, and the memorial tablet was also left in the prime minister's mansion in the capital.

Therefore, there is no tablet of Lin Pu in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

Lin Jinghuan's expression was very calm, but under this calm, there was more emotion and helplessness.

After hearing this, Wen Jinyu was also filled with emotion, and comforted Lin Jinghuan: "It's all in the past."

Lin Jinghuan smiled wryly, and then looked at Wen Jinyu, "I marry you in, in addition to fulfilling the agreement between my father and Mr. Wen, I also want you to help me with three things after entering the Lin family. These three things are the Lin family's affairs. It's not easy for me to intervene, but it will be much more convenient for you to do it."

"What's the matter?" Wen Jinyu still understood that there is no free lunch in the world.

"The first one is to let my father's soul return to his hometown and be buried together as he wished. The second one is to let my second elder brother Lin Hua return to the Lin family. The third one is to let my second sister Lin Zhuangjing give up the idea of ​​entering the palace as a concubine."

After hearing these three things, Wen Jinyu frowned and said, "Just listening, I feel that these three things are not easy."

Lin Jinghuan said: "I understand, you do your best, if it can be done, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"And what if I can't do it?"

Lin Jinghuan smiled helplessly, "I won't treat you badly, are you willing to help me?"

Wen Jinyu didn't answer directly, but asked, "Do I have the right to refuse?"

Lin Jinghuan smiled, very gently and kindly, and he replied: "I don't think so."

Wen Jinyu pouted, "Then you still ask me if I want to? I was surprised why you agreed to marry me so readily. Now it seems that it is not only to fulfill the marriage contract made by your father, but also to use me."

Lin Jinghuan didn't refute. He did have the idea of ​​using it, and he never thought of hiding Wen Jinyu. Now that he was questioned by the other party, he admitted it frankly.

The other party's frank admission of being used made Wen Jinyu feel less unhappy about being used.

In fact, between people, without feelings as the basis, using each other is the best way to get along.

As an elder brother, he needs Lin Jinghuan's protection, and Lin Jinghuan needs him to deal with some matters of the Lin family.In contrast, he did not suffer.Think of it as working for Lin Jinghuan.

"Yes, I will do my best." Wen Jinyu stood up and patted the folds of her clothes, "But I am weak in the Lin family, and I still need to take care of you."

Lin Jinghuan said: "This is natural. I still say the same thing, as long as you don't kill people and set fires, collaborating with the enemy and treason, I will protect you."

"With your words, I feel a lot more at ease." Wen Jinyu stretched her waist, looking at the memorial tablet of the ancestor of the Lin family, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Even the Wen family and the Lin family are difficult."

Lin Jinghuan nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and sighed: "I also think that state affairs are easier to handle than family affairs."

It was already noon when we left the ancestral hall.

The Lin family, like the Wen family, would eat in their respective courtyards unless it was a holiday.

It's just that today is Wen Jinyu's first day marrying into the Lin family. According to the custom, they have to have a meal together and get to know each other.

When Wen Jinyu and Lin Jinghuan arrived at the restaurant, they heard Mrs. Lin say sarcastically: "This Wen Jinyu is our ex-wife Xuewen. We all know each other, and he's not a newcomer. Is it necessary to serve this table?"

Lin Xuewen snorted coldly: "It's a shame."

Mrs. Lin said again: "Lin Jinghuan doesn't feel ashamed. He swaggered and married Wen Jinyu back as his wife. I'm afraid that people in the world won't know that he picked up a piece of trash."

Wen Jinyu frowned, feeling annoyed.

Lin Jinghuan could hear these words clearly, but he couldn't see any joy or anger on his face. He walked in slowly and said leisurely: "Although everyone knows Jinyu, her status is different now. Naturally, there must be no less."

He said this with a smile, but it made Lin Xuewen feel creepy.

"Jinyu, come here." Lin Jinghuan waved to Wen Jinyu, and when the other party came to him, he looked at Lin Maode and Mrs. Lin and said to Wen Jinyu, "Brother and sister-in-law."

In the past, these two were Wen Jinyu's parents-in-law.

The two were embarrassed when they heard this.

Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Wen Jinyu didn't feel embarrassed, and readily called out "brother and sister-in-law" to her former parents-in-law.

Wen Jinyu was overjoyed, and then looked at Lin Xuewen and Lin Shangwu.

Lin Xuewen's gloomy face almost had the word "unhappy" written on it.Lin Shangwu, on the other hand, dared not speak out.

Lin Jinghuan seemed unable to see the embarrassment and displeasure of the other party, and said with a smile: "Study literature, practice martial arts, quickly call uncle."

Lin Jinghuan is their uncle, and Wen Jinyu is his wife. Because they are brothers, they are called uncles.

Lin Xuewen was naturally unwilling to call his ex-wife his uncle, so he frowned and kept silent.

Seeing his brother like this, Lin Shangwu didn't open his mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Jinghuan just smiled softly and said, "You two are not young anymore, how can you be so rude?"

Although he was smiling, he gave people an aggressive feeling, as if the other party was not called Uncle Wen Jinyu, he would not let them go.

Lin Xuewen clenched his fists tightly, full of anger and unwillingness, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Lin Jinghuan, his third uncle who was only one year older than him.

Seeing her son being forced, Mrs. Lin said displeasedly: "Third brother, it's not that you don't know the relationship between Xuewen and Wen Jinyu, so why force him to be called Uncle Wen Jinyu? You deliberately humiliated him."

"Just because he knew about their past relationship, he was asked to call him uncle, so that he could understand that Jinyu's identity is different now." He looked at Lin Xuewen again, and ordered in a cold voice: "Call quickly! "

Suddenly, the surrounding fell into silence, and everyone stared at Lin Xuewen.

Author's gossip: In terms of setting, Mrs. Lin is actually seven years older than Lin Jinghuan's elder brother Lin Maode.
