Chapter 217: God's Will

Qin Lang walked forward without saying a word.

Qin Yuelian and Qin Sanlang guessed that their second brother might go to other shops to have a look.

But after visiting more than a dozen shops, he was told that Lin Zhiyi had sold the shop.

Qin Lang was left with nowhere to go. Since his mother and elder brother were waiting for money, he went to Jingzhao Prefecture to beat the drum and appeal for justice.

After Lord Feng, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, came to court, he inquired about Qin Lang's request and said, "The transaction before Madam Lin's divorce is valid. As for the money from the sale of the shop, you can ask Madam Lin for it."

Having said that, he ordered his men to kick those people out.

Qin Lang was so annoyed.

He clenched his fists and said, Lin Zhiyi, I'm not done with you!

Lin Zhiyi suddenly sneezed, and Li Wenjing quickly covered her with clothes, "If you're cold, wear more clothes."

"I'm not cold, but maybe someone is cursing me behind my back."

Go ahead and curse her, she admits that she is not a good person either.

During the Chinese New Year, there were many banquets held by the young ladies from wealthy families in Fangzhou, and Zhang Wanqing actively promoted Lin Wenge, so Lin Wenge's business is getting better and better.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of the Chinese New Year.

The village also became lively. Without asking, you can tell that it is the day when married daughters visit relatives and return to their parents' home.

"We don't have any relatives at home, so it's not lively at all." Lin Zhiyi muttered.

Mrs. Song tapped her forehead and said, "Isn't this lively enough? With such a large family, how much more lively do you want it to be?"

"We don't have any relatives here, unlike other children who can go to their grandmother's house."

Mentioning this, Mrs. Song sighed and suddenly felt a little sad.

Ever since the Lin family fell into trouble, her family members have been hiding, fearing that they would be implicated.

"Who said there are no relatives, Sister Lin, can I?"

Suddenly I heard a voice outside the house. It was Zhang Wanqing.

Mrs. Song glanced at Lin Zhiyi and asked her what was going on.

Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Mom, our relatives are here."

Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "Yes, then why don't you go and greet him quickly."

Lin Zhiyi lifted the curtain and left the yard.

I saw a carriage parked in the yard, and Zhang Wanqing and a man were standing next to the carriage.

If she guessed correctly, this person was the governor of Fangzhou.

He is quite handsome and not very old.

"Sister Lin, Wanqing is bothering me."

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward with a smile, "What are you talking about? You've already gone back to your parents' home, why don't you hurry inside? It's so cold in the yard."

Zhang Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward, shook Zhang Wanqing's hand, and looked at Lu Chongjian, "Would you like to introduce us?"

Zhang Wanqing looked a little shy, "Sister Lin asked even though she knew the answer."

Lin Zhiyi smiled, "Master Lu, please come in."

She was really happy for Zhang Wanqing.

The fact that Governor Lu came with her showed that he took Zhang Wanqing seriously.

Even if she is a concubine, it depends on whose concubine she is.

As for those things that happened before, Zhang Wanqing was also bewitched by others. Thinking about how she kept calling Lin Sister when she was humiliated just now, she was also very dependent on her. She was not a bad person by nature, but was just bewitched by others in order to catch Li Wenjing and also to find a way to survive.

Lu Chongjian nodded to Lin Zhiyi and ordered the coachman to take the gifts down from the carriage.

It can be seen that this gift was made with great care, and the groom had to carry it six times in a row before he could finish it.

"Master Lu, Sister Wanqing, you are so polite. Let's go inside quickly. It's very cold outside."

Lin Zhiyi led the two of them to the main hall.

Mrs. Song hurriedly poured them tea.

Zhang Wanqing was a little confused, "Why are there only Sister Lin and Auntie?"

Lin Zhiyi smiled and replied, "My dad and the others were so happy last night that they drank a few more cups together. They are still sleeping in the house now."

"I'll wake them up right away."

Mrs. Song went to call Lin Fu.

Lin Zhiyi asked Chai Ya to call her three brothers, and she returned to her bedroom.

She directly lifted the quilt and lay in Li Wenjing's arms. In this horrible weather, the quilt was still warm, especially for Li Wenjing.

When Lin Zhiyi lifted the quilt, Li Wenjing had already woken up, but he didn't open his eyes. She was most familiar with the smell of Lin Zhiyi.

He put his arm around Lin Zhiyi's back, "Zhizhi, come and sleep for a while too."

"I can't sleep anymore, Zhang Wanqing is here."

"What is she doing here?"

Although Li Wenjing did not open his eyes, he could hear a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Don't be like this. For the sake of Grand Tutor Zhang, even if you hate her, you have to save face. Besides, the Governor of Fangzhou is here with her today."

Li Wenjing then opened his eyes, "Lu Chongjian?"

"Do you know him?"

"He was a student of Master Zhang, and I happened to hear a few of his lectures."

No wonder!

Lin Zhi suddenly understood.

It seems that there is a divine will in all things.

"Then do you want to go out and meet Lu Chongjian?"

Li Wenjing hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Let's go."

Lin Zhiyi climbed up from his arms and went to get Li Wenjing's coat.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the main hall, they heard Lu Chongjian and Lin Fu talking.

"It is truly an honor for Lord Lu to visit my humble abode today."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, for hosting me. Wanqing said she wanted to go back to her parents' home, so I came with her."

"Yes, if Miss Zhang is willing, this place will always be her family home."

Lin Fu sighed.

To be honest, although he didn't have much in common with Taifu Zhang, he was indeed a good official who cared about the world.

It's a pity that after his death, his wife and daughter...

At that time, the Lin family was struggling to protect themselves and would not meddle in other people's affairs.

When Li Wenjing and Lin Zhiyi entered the room, everyone in the room looked over at the same time.

When Lu Chongjian saw that it was Li Wenjing, he quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Highness."

Li Wenjing nodded at him.

The two obviously knew each other.

Zhang Wanqing was surprised for a moment.

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward with a smile, "Sister Wanqing, come with me. I have something to show you."

Zhang Wanqing looked at Lu Chongjian.

Lu Chongjian nodded, and she stood up, "Let's go, Sister Lin."

Lin Zhiyi brought Zhang Wanqing to the room she lived in before her marriage and said, "Please sit down wherever you want. I'll get it."

Lin Zhiyi opened the treasure chest and took out a mahogany carved box from it.

"Sister Wanqing, this is the dowry that His Highness and I prepared for you."

Lin Zhiyi could see clearly that Lu Chongjian had feelings for Zhang Wanqing.

He cared about everything he did.

As for Li Wenjing and the Lin family's territory in Fangzhou, some matters naturally had to be handled by Lu Chongjian.

For the sake of Li Wenjing and the Lin family, she had to make some concessions. Even if she couldn't be good sisters with Zhang Wanqing, she couldn't be their enemy.

Zhang Wanqing opened it and saw that it was half filled with precious jewelry.

Several hairpins are inlaid with oriental pearls.

"Sister Lin, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."

As Zhang Wanqing said this, she wanted to return the mahogany box.

She knew that since they said it was a gift from Lin Zhiyi and His Highness, the jewelry inside must have been bought by Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi held her hand and said, "Sister Wanqing, since you are willing to call me Sister Lin, consider this as a dowry from me, your elder sister. You must accept it."

Lin Zhiyi could see that Zhang Wanqing liked it very much.

Besides, the things in there were not hers. They were all dowry bought by the He family for He Jiaojiao. She originally wanted to sell them and buy new ones, but she couldn't find any of the same quality in the jewelry shops in Fangzhou.

He took out a few pieces and gave them to Zhang Wanqing. She would definitely stand out in Fangzhou when she wore them.
