Chapter 249: Cousins ​​meet again after many years

"She?" When Shen Sui heard Lin Qingning mention Cui Si, and then thought of Yan Xingchuan's attitude, his brows furrowed and his expression became cold.

"Don't worry, not to mention that she is not the master's wife yet, even if she were, there is no reason why she would not tolerate you."

The Yan family is gone, the Lin family is gone, and Lin Qingning is the only relative Yan Xingchuan has in the world. How can Cui Si just say that she can't be tolerated?

If she dared, those of them who were old members of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would not agree.

"If she can't even tolerate you, then what qualifications does she have to do..."

"Chen Sui!" Before Shen Sui could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Mo who hurriedly walked out of the tent.

The fire in Shen Mo's eyes almost burst out, "If you can't speak, then shut up."

Who is Cui Si? Is he qualified to comment on her?

Is it his business to decide how Cui Si treats Lin Qingning?

Whether she is qualified to be the Queen of Northern Yan is not something he can decide. Who does he think he is and can make the decision for the master?

"Speak with more respect to the Lord and the Princess."

"Princess Wang?" Lin Qingning was slightly surprised.

Chen Mo did not answer this, but said to Lin Qingning: "Madam Lin, the master is inside, please follow me in."

Lin Qingning wanted to ask something, but seeing Shen Mo's sullen face, she nodded nervously.

Shen Mo took her to the big tent, and Shen Sui followed him subconsciously.

"You stay, the master doesn't want to see you." Shen Mo refused him to follow in.

"Mrs. Kelin..."

"When did you become so talkative? Can the Lord eat her?"

Chen Sui thought about it and decided not to insist. He watched Chen Mo take Lin Qingning into the big tent, and then went to arrange Lin Qingning's accommodation.

Yan Xingchuan was sitting behind a desk reviewing memorials. Perhaps he was in a bad mood, and his brows were furrowed. Hearing footsteps, he looked over and saw Chen Mo and Lin Qingning walking in.

Lin Qingning also looked over and their eyes met.

Yan Xingchuan pressed the corners of his mouth and tightened his jaw. Lin Qingning was nervous and hesitated, not daring to speak.

As she walked, her veil fluttered in the wind, and her delicate and frail face and timid expression made her look like the delicate, white and light pink apricot blossoms on the branches in spring, graceful and light, making me feel pity for her.

"Third... third cousin..." Lin Qingning called out nervously, hiding behind Shen Mo in fear.

Yan Xingchuan nodded: "It's me."

It should have been a happy thing for cousins ​​to meet again after many years, but Yan Xingchuan's heart was as calm as a stagnant pool of water, without a single ripple.

He originally felt sorry for Lin Qingning's experience, felt guilty that the Lin family was implicated by the Yan family, and felt guilty that Lin Qingning suffered because of his eldest brother's involvement, and wanted to make it up to her.

But in his previous life, Lin Qingning caused his wife and children to be separated because of her selfishness, and made their family suffer so much. Yan Xingchuan really didn't want to see her.

However, he still remembered the Lin family's love and sacrifice for him, and he would have someone take good care of Lin Qingning so that she could live a peaceful life.

He was thinking about Cui Si, worried that she would be angry when she found out that Lin Qingning came to see him, and wondering how to explain it to her.

"Sit down and talk."

This attitude was really not right. Not only Lin Qingning who had been nervous and cautious, but also Chen Mo could see it.

"Sit down." Yan Xingchuan said again.

Lin Qingning timidly lowered her head and replied "yes", then sat down obediently on a chair.

The tent suddenly became quiet, and even the guards who came to serve tea subconsciously stepped as lightly as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Yan Xingchuan finished reading a memorial and put it aside. He then said, "You are a woman, so it is not easy for you to stay in the military camp for long. I will send someone to take you back to Beiyan City in two days. You will live in Beiyan City from now on. Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you."

Many years later, when the cousins ​​met again, she was timid and nervous, and he was numb and resistant in his heart, not even wanting to say a word of comfort and concern.

I can only sit there in silence.

In life, he made a choice in his last life, and he made a choice in this life. Even if it was unfair to his parents, brothers, and the Lin family, he would accept it.

Perhaps there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world. He doesn't want Cui Si to suffer any more injustice because of him.

And she would not tolerate this injustice, she would just abandon him and tell him to get away.

Lin Qingning didn't expect that he would ask her to leave right away. She looked up in disbelief, her pair of soft and timid almond-shaped eyes, black and white, widened in shock, and her eye sockets were slightly red.

"You...you want to drive me away?" Tears gathered in Lin Qingning's eyes, and then slid down, like crystal dewdrops in the morning, clean and delicate.

"Why?" Lin Qingning finally broke down. She really couldn't understand why, after so many years, the cousins ​​reunited, and not only was Yan Xingchuan not excited or unhappy, but he now wanted to send her away.

"Do you... do you dislike me too..." Lin Qingning's tears fell, she bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of embarrassment and humiliation.

"Do you also think I'm unbearable? I've brought shame to the Lin family. I've let my cousin down and the Yan family down. If that's the case, why did you save me? Just treat me as if I were dead..."

Lin Qingning was crying so hard that her body was shaking and trembling all over.

"I don't think so." Yan Xingchuan sighed.

To be honest, all that she suffered was because of the Yan family and because she was Yan Xingshan's fiancée. Yan Xingchuan hated Jiang Shao as a beast worse than pigs and dogs, and wanted to cut him into pieces, but he only felt guilty towards her.

It was the Yan family who implicated her.

Yan Xingchuan was naturally not a stupid person. Even in his previous life, he could see clearly that under Lin Qingning's delicate and pitiful appearance, there were many little thoughts, and even... she was not a kind person.

But she had suffered too much hardship and pain. He had never saved her from danger when she was in trouble, and he could no longer blame her for not growing up to be kind and selfless.

He only hated that beast Jiang Shao.

"I just feel that this place is not safe with all the fighting going on. Beiyan City is the safest place in Beiyan. You've suffered a lot over the years, so you need to take good care of yourself. The Beiyan Palace has been empty, so you can move in."

Lin Qingning was stunned, a little bewildered, and looked at Yan Xingchuan with some uncertainty: "Is what my third cousin said true?"

"Of course it's true, Qingning. Life is tough these days, and being alive is already a blessing. Don't dwell on other things. From now on, the Yan family is your home, and no one can hurt you again."

"Once you go to Beiyan City, you will be safe. Jiang Shao will never be able to find you."
