Looking at the cold figure leaving directly, Tang Yuanxi felt doubly disappointed.
Why did he leave right after I arrived?
Is it possible that he didn't keep vigil for his third uncle?
I made a special trip to accompany him. Why would I stay here after he left?
Lin Tingzhen looked at the princess's melancholy expression and explained continuously: "I ask the princess and the governor to forgive me. My nephew just came back from Haining County today. He was already very tired. When he came back today, he went to the post house for a banquet. Then he suddenly
When this happens, I have just arranged everything, but I really don’t have the energy anymore.”
"Clan Leader Lin has spoken harshly. I and my sister-in-law have taken the liberty of visiting us and have disturbed everyone. Please forgive me."
Tang Ru apologized to everyone with a look of shame.
He didn't approve of his little sister coming to someone else's house to express condolences at this time.
Not to mention that as Patriarch Lin said, Lin Jinxiao was exhausted after a long day of running around;
Furthermore, the elder Chen family is not his blood relative. Even if he had the intention, he would not be able to stay here and watch the night. It is good to be able to do this.
The so-called filial piety is just a pretense to show to outsiders.
Tang Yuan was still in a daze looking forward to the direction Lin Jinxiao was leaving outside the hospital. Lin Yuan had already led his son and his daughter-in-law out to greet him.
Tang Ru pulled his little sister, and she followed him into the mourning hall to worship.
When he came out, he saw Lin Tingzhen escorting the Chen family out. Hearing that it was Lin Jinxiao's stepmother, he quickly chased after her and said in a worried voice:
"Aunt Chen, why do you still want to go home in the middle of the night? I heard that you live in the village, why don't you go to brother Jinxiao's house to have a rest?"
Hearing her calling Brother Jinxiao affectionately and being a princess, Mrs. Chen immediately noticed something fishy. She smiled and was about to answer when Qin Xianglian stopped her quickly: "As for the princess, there are still many things at home.
There are things waiting to be dealt with, so I have to rush back overnight, and we will come back when the funeral is held in a few days."
"I see, then."
Tang Yuanxi wanted to send someone to send them back, but Tang Ru directly stopped her idea: "Auntie Chen, my condolences. Since you have something to do, you should go back quickly. We won't delay you all."
After saying that, he pulled Tang Yuanxi out of the house in a hurry.
He had already heard about what happened in front of the county government office a while ago. Princess Pingning and Mrs. Chen did not deal with each other. People in the county were spreading rumors that Prince Pingning was too filial and foolish, and even thought of divorcing his wife in order to please his stepmother.
But what he saw at the gate of the county government office today was that the couple were very much in love. He couldn't guess Lin Jinxiao's thoughts for the time being. If his reputation as a fool and filial piety was to attract people's attention, it meant that he and Princess Pingning were really in love.
To be honest, if my sister interferes in other people's family affairs, she is asking for trouble.
If his love affair with Princess Pingning was just to hide from others, then there would be no rush to get married to Sister Zhang Luo.
So you still have to see the situation clearly before making any plans.
Looking at the Tang brothers and sisters who suddenly came and then left in a hurry, Mrs. Chen's face was filled with confusion.
Staring at Lin Tingzhen and the Zhou family in confusion, Chen asked in confusion: "Brother, sister-in-law, what does this princess mean? Why did she come to express condolences in the middle of the night without saying a few words?"
gone?"
"Don't ask if it's not your place to ask."
Lin Tingzhen couldn't tell that Princess Yuanxi was interested in her nephew, so she was trying to flatter him, but all the flattery fell on the horse's hooves.
Mrs. Zhou was also extremely disgusted with this mother and son, and warned angrily:
"Ms. Chen, whether you can listen or not, I still have to say something. If your family still wants to establish a foothold in Anlin Village, I advise you to ask as little as possible about Jinxiao's family. Maybe he wants to
For the sake of the late Tingshu, I can give you mother and son a peaceful life in the future, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat."
"Oh, my sister-in-law is right. As a mother, shouldn't I be able to interfere with my son's affairs?"
Mrs. Chen curled her lips disapprovingly: "On the other hand, you and your clan brothers have never cared about the life and death of our family for so many years. Now that the elder has become rich, you have become more attentive."
When she said this, her eyes gradually turned dark: "I heard that my aunt and the little bitch of the Chu family didn't deal with each other. She was always in good health. Today she just went to a banquet and died suddenly. Nujia
I'm just afraid that it's fake that my aunt has an epileptic seizure, but it's real that she's being harmed by someone with ulterior motives?"
"Shut up."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan's anger surged upwards, and he slapped Chen's face fiercely: "Today, Concubine Yue and King Dongjin are hosting a banquet for Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager. Who can harm your aunt?"
Lin Jinhui was also very angry and cursed: "Auntie, you should use your brain more before speaking. You have no idea why your father has not taken care of the affairs of Brother Jinxiao's family in these years."
If Lin Yuan and Da Chen hadn't favored this woman, how could her father have allowed her mother and son to cause trouble in the village again and again.
Qin Xianglian knew that her mother-in-law's trouble was coming from her mouth, so she quickly tried to dissuade her: "Third uncle, clan uncle, clan aunt, and sister Jinhui, please don't get angry. My mother means what she says but she doesn't mean it. You must not argue with her. We will go back to the village right now."
"Get out of here and pretend that your aunt has never had a niece like you."
The crutch in Lin Yuan's hand hit the ground hard, and he said fiercely: "You don't need to come over on the day of the funeral. When I come, I will ask someone to drive you out of the door."
He really couldn't stand up to these troublemakers.
Chen, Lin Jinhong, mother and son were angrily dragged out of the house by Qin Xianglian and Lin Jinyun, and Lin Yuan felt much more comfortable.
Although he was deeply saddened by his wife's sudden death, he also felt a little lucky at the same time.
This old woman has been meddling in her grandnephew's family affairs all day long, and she still doesn't know how to restrain herself. Her visit has actually made the family less worried all day long.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan greeted the clan members to disperse with a relieved look on his face, and then led his son and daughter-in-law back to the mourning hall.
When Lin Jinxiao returned home, she saw that Liu Yun and her aunts had gone to bed, and only the light in the main room was still on. She felt warm and sad. She had to worry about all these troubles, and she still felt bad.
Gently pushing open the bedroom door, Lin Jinxiao finally showed a faint smile when he saw the charming face beside the bed.
"came back?"
Chu Nanzhi stood up and walked over. As soon as she reached him, she was hugged by Lin Jinxiao.
Chu Nanzhi's little heart was beating fast, her eyes looked around his whole body in confusion, and she whispered: "Sang Qi asked the maid to boil some water, and I'll get it for you."
"Just rest, I'll go by myself."
She had been struggling all day, and Lin Jinxiao couldn't bear to let her work any more. He gently put her on the bed and warned her in a warm voice: "Wait until I come back."
Chu Nanzhi leaned on the pillow and quietly watched the slender figure leave, feeling suddenly nervous.
Although I had slept with him before, and even shamelessly hugged him to sleep, I had never thought of truly accepting him.
Now that she truly regarded herself as his wife, she found it difficult to adapt to sleeping with him again.
