Before receiving Lin Zhu's reply, Mr. Lin vaguely regretted his hasty decision. After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he felt that recognizing Lin Zhu would bring too many problems.
First of all, we have to face the doubts from the outside world. Lin Zhu's sudden appearance will inevitably lead to the unknown past between Lin Shurui and Wang Yurou. If this matter is exposed, it will be a big blow to the reputations of the Lin family and the Wang family.
.It will even affect the marriages of children who are not married or are getting married.
Secondly, whether the family can accept Lin Zhu is also a problem. Mr. Lin already vaguely knew that it was Zhao who had Lin Zhu abandoned so far away since he was a child. However, he had to wonder whether his son was involved in it.
Got it. From this point, it can be seen that Zhao will not accept Lin Zhu at all.
He also knew Mrs. Lin's temperament. Because she didn't like Wang Yurou, she didn't even ask when the child was born. Now she doesn't have a good impression of Lin Zhu. If Lin Zhu's life experience is revealed, first
The one who objects might be her.
For such a big matter, of course, the opinions of other people in the house must be taken into consideration. Thinking of this, Mr. Lin felt that this matter was too difficult.
He was in a dilemma about whether to discuss it with Mrs. Lin, when he got the news that General Chang had come to discuss the matter with him and another insider, Mr. Wang. At a loss, Mr. Lin felt that they might have a better solution, so he happily went
.
"Brother Lin, please forgive me, your decision was a bit hasty." Mr. Wang, General Chang and Mr. Lin were sitting across from each other in the study room of the general's mansion. The servants were all kicked out.
Mr. Lin listened on the side with an expressionless face. General Chang nodded in agreement.
"Now everyone in the world has recognized Zhu Yatou's origin, and because of the protection of the General's Palace, they no longer care about her origin." After coming out of the palace, Lin Zhu's popularity has overshadowed people's concern about her origin.
"But if she suddenly revealed her relationship with us, wouldn't it have a bad impact on her?"
What Mr. Wang said was based on Lin Zhu's interests. Although General Chang felt comfortable listening to it, Mr. Lin felt a little conflicted in his heart. After all, the meaning behind his words seemed to be that he was blaming himself for not thinking about Lin Zhu.
"Master Lin also didn't want Zhu Yatou to become too estranged from her father, so he was so anxious." Sensing Mr. Lin's displeasure, General Chang explained. His expression became better.
"Now that I think about it, it's my fault for not thinking carefully." Mr. Lin admitted that his idea was too simple, and he also faintly revealed his hesitation about this decision.
After hearing this, General Chang realized something in his heart. It seemed that Mr. Lin regretted his previous decision. He glanced at Mr. Wang, and from his eyes, he also noticed that he seemed to be relieved.
What he said just now was certainly for Lin Zhu's sake, and he wanted her to be less criticized by rumors. But thinking about it more deeply, Mr. Wang didn't want the Wang family to be in that embarrassing situation.
Wang Yurou has been back in the capital for such a long time, but she has not made any move to see her long-forgotten daughter. From this, it can be seen how much she does not want to remember the past.
As a father, Mr. Wang would naturally not expose his daughter's scars again. Moreover, his son-in-law was also here. For the sake of Wang Yurou's future peace of life, he did not want to reveal Lin Zhu's life experience at this time.
General Chang also sighed secretly in his heart at this time, feeling a little pitiful for Lin Zhu's suffering of being unable to recognize his relatives and unable to return to his home. How unfair this was to a child who had not been cared for by his parents since he was a child.
Mr. Wang's objection and Mr. Lin's acquiescence also allowed the old general to see the outcome of this negotiation. This made him feel happy and sad at the same time.
I am glad that Lin Zhu will not leave the General's Mansion, so that he can enjoy a little more family happiness with all his grandchildren. I am also sad that Lin Zhu has a rough life experience.
After sending King Lin and the two away, he sat alone in the study for a long time. General Chang did not blame the two people. At their status, many things cannot be decided by their own likes and dislikes. They must take care of the whole family.
all aspects of.
For the sake of the family, they would not hesitate to make sacrifices. Concealing Lin Zhu's life experience may be the reason for their sacrifice. Now General Chang just hopes that Lin Zhu will not be too sad.
"Send someone to tell Zhu Yatou the outcome of this matter." General Chang called Chang Shi into the study and ordered.
The most suitable candidate was Aunt Chang, so Chang Shi sent someone directly to send Aunt Chang to Zhuangzi.
Aunt Chang told Lin Zhu exactly what General Chang said. After hearing this, Lin Zhu was stunned and didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
But when she met Aunt Chang's concerned eyes, Lin Zhu smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Chang, don't worry, I'm fine." He asked Aunt Chang a few more questions about the General's Mansion, then turned and returned to his room.
.
Aunt Chang wanted to comfort Lin Zhu, but she was afraid that the more she talked, the more she would make Lin Zhu sad. At this time, she probably needed to be quiet. So Aunt Chang did not follow Lin Zhu.
"Aunt Chang?" Mu Qiyue came in from the outside. When he saw Aunt Chang sitting on the chair in the front hall, he immediately understood that she was here to deliver a message. But looking at her appearance, Mu Qiyue could probably guess
Yeah, this news shouldn't be good.
"Is there any news from the General's Mansion?" Mu Qiyue sat at the top, and at the same time motioned for Aunt Chang to sit down and talk after the ceremony.
"Yes." Aunt Chang nodded, "Both adults are here. Mr. Wang thinks that the time is not yet ripe. It would be harmful rather than beneficial to the girl's identity to be exposed, so she does not agree with Mr. Lin's approach." At this point
, paused, "Master Lin also agreed."
After Aunt Chang finished speaking, she had a sad expression on her face, so she lowered her head, and therefore did not see the anger flashing in Mu Qiyue's eyes.
"Has Xiaozhu returned to the house?" Mu Qiyue stood up and wanted to see Lin Zhu.
"Fourth Young Master, please stay." Aunt Chang stopped him. She felt that she needed to talk to Mu Qiyue in detail. "There are some things that I want to tell Fourth Young Master."
After hearing this, Mu Qiyue sat back again.
"When I met the girl, she was only eight years old. She was very thin and small. She had a baby of less than five months old and only had five acres of land. At that time, I almost thought she couldn't feed her.
There are three of us. Fortunately, God is wise and the girl is very capable, so the days are getting better and better. But when I first arrived in Linjia Village, I asked about the girl’s previous life, but the people in the village knew very little about her.
, even the village chief doesn’t know much about her previous life.”
After a pause, Aunt Chang took a sip of water, "But judging from what Village Chief Lin meant, the girl was not well taken care of. This can also be seen now. Compared with her peers, the girl's body is actually a little thinner. Zhang
Your Excellency once said that a girl lost her body when she was a child, and she has to raise it back bit by bit."
Aunt Chang also talked about some of Lin Zhu's unknown life experiences, working hard to pick wolfberry, staying up all night to take care of the sick Fu Dou'er, and running around for a living. These are only known to those closest to Lin Zhu.
Aunt Chang always narrated calmly and did not add her own emotions to it. But it made Mu Qiyue more intuitively understand the difficulty of Lin Zhu's childhood.
After finishing speaking, seeing that Mu Qiyue had no expression, Aunt Chang said, "After saying so much, I just hope that the Fourth Young Master can take care of our girl on behalf of those people."
"I understand." Although Mu Qiyue listened for a long time, his face remained expressionless, but he solemnly nodded to Aunt Chang, his eyes full of a man's promise.
After saying that, he walked towards Lin Zhu's house.
"Are you sad?" Mu Qiyue didn't even notice the sound of himself entering the room, so he had no choice but to speak out to attract Lin Zhu's attention.
"Why did you come in?" Lin Zhu didn't hear the knock on the door.
"I saw Aunt Chang. I knocked on the door just now, but you didn't seem to hear me." Mu Qiyue found a chair and sat opposite Lin Zhu.
"If you want, it's easy to restore the identity of the daughter of the Lin family. Do you need my help?" Mu Qiyue asked.
"No." Lin Zhu shook his head and pouted slightly, "Being the daughter of the Lin family will only bring inconvenience to me and will bring no benefit."
Mu Qiyue knew this would be the case, so his proposal was not too enthusiastic. "Aren't you willing to give in?"
"That's right, but that was me before I was eight years old. I don't feel this way now." After yesterday's venting, Lin Zhu felt that he felt much more relaxed. He had never laughed or cried loudly.
Yesterday’s experience was also good.
"Is there any difference between being eight years old and now?"
"Before I was eight years old, I still hoped that one day someone would take me back to my parents. After I was eight years old, I lived alone and forgot about this expectation. Over time, it became a habit and I gave up hope." Lin Zhu
She is not the original Lin Xiuzhu, so she does not have as strong feelings for her so-called biological parents as the original owner.
Only now can I look at the decisions of the two old men, Prince Lin, so lightly.
"Isn't it sad to live on your own at such a young age?" Mu Qiyue asked curiously.
"Fortunately, the two people who took care of me were about to leave, and I was recovering from a serious illness, so they didn't guard against me when they were packing, so I took some money from them." Thinking of my own life at the time.
Lin Zhu was still a little complacent about his behavior as a thief.
"With that money, will your life be better?" Mu Qiyue seemed to be interested in listening.
"Well, after all, there are not many places to spend money in the countryside. A dozen taels of silver is enough for me to use for a long time." It can be regarded as joy in hardship, and I am extremely happy to have such a little money.
The two of them asked each other questions and talked for a long time. When Lin Zhu felt that it was getting late, he realized that his previous sad mood had dissipated unknowingly.
I also found that Mu Qiyue kept guiding me to speak just to help myself recover my mood earlier. I suddenly felt very warm and sweet in my heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
