Lin Jinxiao sat in the yard with a cane in his hand, quietly watching a few little treasures playing Cuju, while the servants gathered around to serve them carefully.
Seeing the figures of Chu Nanzhi and Liu Yun, Sanbao and Sibao were the first to turn around and greet them. They called "Mother, Grandma" and got into their arms. Several maids from the backyard chased after them and shouted.
"The little princess, the little princess, haven't washed their hands yet."
Chu Nanzhi waved her hands towards the maids who were chasing after them, signaling them to leave. Then she took out a handkerchief from her waist, patted the two little treasures, dusted them off, and wiped their hands clean.
He touched the heads of the little guys with concern and said with a smile: "Are you tired?"
The three treasures and the four treasures shook their heads excitedly.
Erbao looked at him with a jealous look on his face, and said with a depressed mouth: "Mom, I want you to wipe your hands too."
"Okay, mom, I'll wipe it for you too."
Chu Nanzhi said and bent down to serve the delicate little princess.
Seeing this, Liu Yun quickly stepped forward to help Dabao and Xiao Muci tidy up their clothes. She watched the little guys sweating profusely while playing, and hurriedly ordered the maid in the courtyard: "Go and get warm.
Water, let the babies wash and change into clean clothes."
The two female envoys responded and left.
Chu Nanzhi took the little treasures and walked to Lin Jinxiao. Under the setting sun, his calm face looked a little more profound.
After a day of leisure, he should have been more energetic, but instead this heroic young man felt a little depressed.
She asked in a low voice with some confusion: "What's wrong, so unhappy?"
"fine."
Lin Jinxiao put on his crutches and stood up slowly. He smiled gently at his mother and daughter and said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare the meal. Mother and sisters, please go in and clean up and prepare for the meal."
Sanbao Lin Ruichong immediately added happily: "My father also made the jasmine shrimp and tofu soup that my mother likes."
Seeing the energetic expressions of the little ones, Chu Nanzhi was moved, but she still rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Your legs and feet are not good, you can just rest at home, why bother with this.
"
"Anyway, we have nothing to do. The jasmine flowers will be out of season in a few days. If we don't make some urgently, I might not be able to eat them until next year."
Last time I saw her at the county government office eating the jasmine shrimp and tofu soup with gusto, Lin Jinxiao was very happy. Yesterday, he didn't have time to learn the black-bone chicken and ginseng soup at the medical clinic.
Seeing how hard she worked these days, I thought of making some snacks for her myself.
Unexpectedly, it would also lead to her scolding.
Facing such a considerate brother-in-law, Chu Nanxiang and Chu Nanzhu looked on with envy.
Liu Yun also looked surprised.
The son-in-law is now a king. I thought he would put on some airs in front of the family, but unexpectedly he has become more approachable.
He has become more and more concerned about his daughter, and now he even cooks for her daughter.
Although it could be heard that her daughter was worried that her son-in-law would aggravate the leg problem, these words could not help but chill people's hearts. She hurriedly echoed: "It's not easy to find jasmine in this season. Da Zhi, help Da Lang quickly."
Go in, I'll take the babies to change their clothes so they can eat."
After saying that, he motioned to the second child and the third child led the little ones to the backyard together.
Sang Kun and Sang Qi also quickly escaped.
Chu Nanzhi helped him walk in carefully. Thinking back to what he said just now, it was indeed a bit harsh.
Hey, I'm really a straight girl.
She clung to his shoulder and asked gently: "Does your leg still hurt?"
Lin Jinxiao stopped, pinched her fair little face, and replied jokingly: "It's just a minor illness. Even if this leg is completely disabled, it won't delay things. My husband can still hold my wife steady."
Hug him."
"Not in shape."
Chu Nan Zhijiao pushed him gently.
While they were having fun, Lin Jinhui's figure suddenly appeared outside the yard.
Seeing the couple, Lin Jinhui shouted anxiously: "Brother Jinxiao, sister-in-law."
When the two heard the sound, they turned around and saw Lin Jinhui's anxious look. They couldn't help being slightly startled.
"What's wrong, Jin Hui, has something happened?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinhui and the maid Ming'er who were approaching with a confused look.
"I just received news that Concubine Yue, King Dongjin and the prefect of the county have come to express their condolences. My father asked me to come over and invite brother Jinxiao and sister-in-law to come over."
Lin Jinhui replied hurriedly.
The Lin family has been unknown in Luyan Port for so many years, and it has always been peaceful. Even the concubine Yue Guifei never had any contact with the Lin family when she returned to her hometown to visit relatives in previous years, but now she comes to express condolences for an unknown old woman. It is simply
The sun is coming out in the west.
You don't need to think deeply to know that these people must be coming for your powerful brother.
Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao looked at each other with helpless smiles on their faces.
It's really a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be compassionate. Lin Jinmu poisoned the Chen family, and now he personally visits people's homes to express condolences. It sounds really funny.
The big families in this county hold weddings and weddings differently from those in the village. They don't need help from the neighbors. Due to the relationship between Lin Jinxiao and Lin Yuan, they only need to go there to pay homage before the funeral.
It's just that Lin Jinxiao made the relationship between himself and the Chen family so cordial that day at the post house, so the scene could only go on.
Hearing that Wu Enrong had also come with him, Chu Nanzhi really wanted to meet this romantic figure who had already been rumored in his ears.
Looking at Lin Jinxiao with a smile, she said slowly: "Wait for me, I will change clothes and go there with you."
Lin Jinxiao now wanted to be with her every minute. She was willing to accompany him, so he was naturally happy. He glanced at her emerald green gown and nodded slowly.
Chu Nanzhi went back to the bedroom and changed into plain clothes, then ordered a maid to go to the backyard and told Liu Yun to take the babies to eat first, while she led Sang Kun, Sang Qi, brother and sister to accompany Lin Jinxiao to Lin Yuan's house.
The white flags all over the courtyard were swaying in the wind. When they walked into the mourning hall and looked at the dark coffin, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao only lit up the incense sticks before entering the hall and did not kneel down to worship.
Thinking of the disgusting face lying inside, Chu Nanzhi secretly said: "Don't blame me for being cruel. Although I know that you died in an unexplained death, I can't avenge you at the moment. You can only accept the injustice like this."
die."
The reason why he did not choose to expose Lin Jinmu immediately was not because of his personal grudges with the Chen family, but because it was not easy to alert others at this time.
Right now, she still had many questions in her mind that needed to be clarified.
How Lin Jinmu obtained Gelsemium poison, what kind of connection he had with the eldest princesses, and whether this group of forces was related to the tax bank case still troubled her.
While I was still thinking, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "A guest has arrived."
