Chapter 550 Emotional Sentiment

There was a teahouse that was the largest near Taipingfang. The teahouse was always packed with people, especially in the lobby on the first floor, where a storyteller sat. Many businessmen who came to the capital for business came here because of his reputation.

Lin Yuesha and Bai Cha entered the room, gave the waiter a tip, and whispered a few words to him. The waiter immediately understood and led them to a private room on the second floor.

The soundproofing in the room was quite good; Lin Yuesha had to press her ear against the wall to hear even a faint voice.

As soon as Qin Nanyan arrived at the teahouse, she ran into a yamen runner from the Jingzhao Yin's office, who was a trusted confidant of her uncle.

"Miss Qin, what brings you to the teahouse?"

The constable was in a hurry; he had been bribed by Madam Qin at a high price and was now anxious to find someone to deliver a message to her. If their lord and Madam Chen went into the teahouse and rekindled their old flame, it would be a huge problem.

If this message is sent to Madam Qin, he will surely reap considerable benefits.

However, he had other business to attend to at the yamen, so he couldn't leave the teahouse to wait for Lord Lin.

"Do I need to report to you just for a stroll?"

Qin Nanyan's eyes darted around, and she countered, "Isn't it illogical for you to be at the teahouse at this hour?"

"yes."

The constable nodded. He followed Lord Lin wherever he went. He had been worried about how to send a message to Madam Qin, but now he had a solution.

"You mean my uncle is in the teahouse?"

Qin Nanyan came in with Lin Yuesha, could it be...?

After all, she was their own daughter, and the Lin family wouldn't abandon Lin Yuesha. Moreover, she had heard that the Lin family's matriarch had been brought back from the south.

The old lady clearly doesn't understand etiquette, but because her son has become successful, she tries to suppress her daughter-in-law in every way, and now Qin's life is not very good.

Even if one is born into a high-ranking family, what does it matter? Filial piety is still the most important thing. I heard that a few days ago, when Old Madam Lin was sick, Madam Qin served her at her bedside, taking care of her bodily functions.

"Yes, I shouldn't have told you this."

The constable was in a dilemma. His master was very agitated, and he was sitting alone with Chen. What if their old feelings rekindled?

Hearing that Chen remarried, the premise was that the master was dead. Besides, a remarried person could never compare to the master's high position and power.

"You want me to go to the Lin residence and inform my aunt?"

The constable spoke very tactfully, but Qin Nanyan still understood.

"Is this a convenient time for you?"

The constable wiped his sweat; this was a golden opportunity to make a great contribution. Ideally, he'd bring Qin to catch her in the act of adultery, then he could have some fun watching.

"convenient."

Qin Nanyan feigned indignation and said, "It must be that country bumpkin harassing my uncle again. I'll go right now."

After Qin Nanyan finished speaking, she turned around and left the teahouse with her maid.

"Miss, you're going the wrong way."

The maidservants were a little confused when they saw their mistress walk in the opposite direction. Weren't they supposed to be going to the Lin residence to deliver a letter?

"stupid."

Qin Nanyan raised an eyebrow. She couldn't wait for the Lin family to change, so that Qin Shi wouldn't be so arrogant when she returned to her parents' home and wouldn't even put her mother in her eyes. This time, she should taste what it's like to be brought down from her pedestal.

She went to deliver a letter to the Qin family. What a joke! Qin Nanyan wished the Qin family would be kept in the dark, so that by the time they found out, everything would have already fallen into place.

“Mrs. Chen was my uncle’s first wife. Logically speaking, my aunt should have been the concubine. She only got there because the Qin family was a prestigious family. Otherwise, what was she?”

Qin Nanyan was overjoyed; she even hoped that Lin Yuesha would be taken back, because that would make life in the Lin family truly exciting.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Suddenly, she found Lin Yuesha much more agreeable. She had to hurry home and tell her mother, Zhou Shi, this good news.

Inside the private room, Bai Cha opened the window and looked down. After a moment, she whispered, "Miss, Qin Nanyan has left."

That man followed the young lady to the teahouse; perhaps he discovered something. If he were to inform the Lin family and cause Qin Shi to come knocking, it wouldn't be easy to handle the situation.

Lin Yuesha held up a finger and shook it. Standing by the window and looking down, a mocking smile appeared on her lips. She laughed and said, "Bai Cha, you really overestimate her."

Because of the unexpected turn of events at the Prince's Palace Flower Viewing Banquet, Qin Nanyan was completely ruined, losing her reputation and being ostracized. On the other hand, Lin Yue'e, who appeared at the waterside pavilion with Qin Nanyan, continued her life as usual and was not affected at all.

"Even if Qin Nanyan is an idiot, she should think about this."

Moreover, Qin Nanyan is not stupid. If it weren't for the deep-seated entanglement of interests between the Qin family and the Lin family, the two families would have already fallen out.

In the imperial court, Lord Qin and her scumbag father were on the same side, and it was impossible for them to break off relations over such a trivial matter or a quarrel between women in the inner quarters.

“Bai Cha, look at the direction Qin Nanyan went; it’s the opposite of the Lin residence.”

After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, she calmly sat back down.

Bai Cha gave a thumbs up. "Miss is so smart. She analyzes people's hearts so thoroughly. If that's the case, the one who most wants her young lady to return to the Lin family is Qin Nanyan, just to watch the show from the sidelines."

"Just watch, Zhou is narrow-minded. Sooner or later she'll find a reason to punish Qin."

Lin Yuesha made her conclusion, and then continued to press her ear against the wall to eavesdrop.

Just now, she paused for a moment. Her scumbag father was reminiscing about the past with her mother, and he was doing it quite emotionally. Lin Yuesha's face kept twitching; she really couldn't bear to listen.

Perhaps every scumbag is shameless, utterly shameless, and has no sense of shame whatsoever.

Next door, Lin Shusheng was still lost in memories of the past. Chen Shi clenched her fist and held back, but then, remembering her daughter's words of advice, she opened her hand again.

Her strength was inconsistent, and she couldn't control it. If she used too much force and cracked Lin's head open, her whole family would become fugitives. She had to restrain herself.

"Xiuxiu, if you hadn't saved me back then, I would have turned into bones by now."

When the old story was brought up again, Lin Shusheng's eyes reddened.

His journey to take the imperial examination was fraught with difficulties. His family was originally from the south, but he was robbed and left penniless. He then encountered a caravan traveling north, which was short of someone who could read and write letters. Lin Shusheng volunteered, which is how he ended up traveling from the south to the north.

He was delayed in taking the imperial examination, and due to the severe cold of the north, he developed a persistent high fever and died in the snow.

If it weren't for Chen saving him, he would have been dead long ago.

At that time, he wanted to live a good life. Since he had married Chen, he would stay in Chenjia Village. But who would have thought that the following year there would be an extra imperial examination? He couldn't bear to let his ten years of hard study go to waste, so he embarked on the journey to the capital to take the exam.

"It's all fate!"

If he hadn't met the Qin family, he would have almost died again. He never expected to be noticed by the Qin family after high school.

Chen nodded heavily, but in her heart she thought, it would have been better to die and be done with it. Now that she's still alive, she's still disgusting their whole family. Enough is enough.

Looking back, Ms. Chen realized that she had always been kind to others and had never had any malicious thoughts, but now she truly hoped that Lin Shusheng would pass away soon.
