The incident in Prime Minister Lin's Mansion spread quickly in the capital. The once noble and powerful man's family was ruined overnight, and his family's lintel was overturned.
Regent's Palace.
Mu Yun'an couldn't help but be stunned after hearing what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She asked curiously: "So, now Lin Xichen and Lin Luowei are the only ones left in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Fortunately, Lin Xichen did not inherit his parents' bad habits, and he can still distinguish right from wrong. Now he is taking care of his parents' funeral."
Mu Yun'an was not concerned about this. She said: "Isn't Miss Lin very pitiful? Her parents are dead, and the person she likes..."
She paused for a moment, feeling a little melancholy in her heart. If Xiao Qiyan was alive, he would not leave Lin Luowei alone.
But now that Xiao Qiyan is about to die soon, won't Lin Luowei be left alone in the future, without any relatives or friends?
Xiao Chengyi held her hand and said: "If you feel that she is helpless, you can send her to Shen's Mansion. She should be happier there."
Mu Yun'an understood what Xiao Chengyi meant. Even if Xiao Qiyan's time was limited, Lin Luowei would definitely want to be by his side.
She nodded and said: "That's fine!"
Xiao Chengyi reached out and held her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head and sighed.
Mu Yun'an looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you sighing?"
Xiao Chengyi said with emotion: "Xiang Lin's incident made me understand a very important truth."
Mu Yun'an blinked and asked, "What's the point?"
Xiao Chengyi lowered his head to look at her and said seriously: "You must marry a wife you like, otherwise your family will be unhappy."
Mu Yunan: "..."
What is the truth? Isn’t this a truth that everyone knows?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xiao Chengyi's low voice behind her ear and said: "Meeting you in this life is my greatest blessing."
Mu Yun'an felt moved. She hooked Xiao Chengyi's neck and raised her head to kiss the corner of his lips gently: "It's my good fortune."
Without Xiao Chengyi’s fifteen years of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, they would not have been able to express their love for each other in this life.
What virtues and abilities does she have that can make Xiao Chengyi devote himself to her and never leave her for two lifetimes?
Mu Yun'an hugged Xiao Chengyi tightly and lay in his arms. The two hugged each other. At this moment, they abandoned all their worries and felt the tranquility of these years.
...
Three days later.
A funeral was held at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lin Mingfu and his wife were buried separately. Since the two had already separated before their death, Lin Xichen simply wrote a letter of divorce on his behalf, so that they would not be tied together after death.
After the funeral, Lin Xichen dismissed the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving only a few who refused to leave.
That night.
Lin Luowei brought a bowl of late-night snacks to Lin Xichen's room and saw him packing. She put down the things in her hands and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Xichen glanced at her and said, "I grew up in the capital and have never seen the outside world. People say that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. I want to go out and see."
Lin Luowei frowned and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Lin Xichen nodded: "Actually, when I was a child, I wanted to travel to the ends of the world with a sword and become a knight, but my father found out and scolded me for not being able to make progress.
