"Yes, luckily he's only in his early twenties, so he can still remarry."
"I'm afraid we'll have to establish a new residence in the future." Han Nianyu shook her head. "It would be good if I could keep Prime Minister Jiang company."
"What...what happened to Prime Minister Jiang again?" Ye Lanyin stammered, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
"Prime Minister Jiang?" Han Nianyu shook her head sadly. "His family was destroyed and his people were killed."
"This? How could such a perfectly good family just vanish like that? Without even a whisper of it?"
"That's right. Prime Minister Jiang's first wife was almost ten years younger than him. Unexpectedly, while he was attending court every day, she secretly had an affair with the steward. Even their son was raised by someone else."
Han Nianyu tapped her two index fingers together to form a cross, and showed it to Ye Lanyin.
"ah?"
Ye Lanyin was stunned.
"Don't you believe me?" Han Nianyu lowered her voice. "Tomorrow, the news about these three children in Chang'an will probably spread all over Bianjing."
"I heard that the child died, and they were all drowned in the pond!"
Yao Qianshu sat to the side, muttering a few words to himself.
"How could someone who's about to kill his father possibly survive?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
...
After seeing Han Nianyu off, Ye Lanyin grabbed Lin Chang'an by the ear and led him into the courtyard.
Lin Chang'an screamed in pain.
"Mother, be gentle, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Pain? You can feel pain?" Just now, when Nianyu said that, she almost couldn't catch her breath. "You're just a child, how dare you interfere in other people's family affairs?"
"You've gotten quite capable, huh?"
"You don't study your books properly, but instead indulge in these crooked and unorthodox methods. You seem to know a lot about them."
We arrived in the courtyard.
Seeing the lady making such a fuss, Huaxin was so frightened that she dropped everything she was holding.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you say you were going to find the young master and young lady?"
Hua Mei winked at her.
Hua Xin quickly shut up.
"You little rascal, now you're leading your sister astray, huh?"
"Mother, how could your son have gone astray?" Lin Chang'an thought of his thousand-year-old destiny, his heart filled with anticipation.
Why would someone follow in the footsteps of that Master Zuo and court death?
"I only saw the son by chance."
Yes, it was just a coincidence.
[I mainly went to see the affair between Lin Shixuan and the female lead.]
An affair?
She looked at Lin Chang'an, warning him to confess honestly.
Lin Chang'an shivered for a while, then ran to the door, poked his little head out, looked left and right, and made sure no one was there.
With a "bang," the door slammed shut.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I had made plans to go out and play with Qian Shu today."
"Who knew that as soon as we went out, we saw my older brother acting suspiciously, so we followed him."
Ye Lanyin was taken aback. "Why are you going with him?"
"Mother, I thought my eldest brother was going out to play, so I went with him. Who knew he would go into a restaurant and even book a private room?"
“How could my son not want to go to such an elegant place? So my son secretly followed him into the restaurant and found that he was actually secretly meeting with a woman and they even kissed each other.”
Ye Lanyin's gaze was serious.
"Is it Liu Ruyan?"
Lin Chang'an shook his head, "No, Mother, I heard my elder brother call her Miss Chen."
That's the female lead.
[It seems the female lead has harbored feelings for Lin Shixuan in both her past and present lives.]
Unfortunately, all I like about him is his face.
The female protagonist is ambitious and wants to become the supreme empress of the Holy Kingdom.
She would absolutely look down on someone like the matriarch of a noble family.
Lin Chang'an and Ye Lanyin exchanged a glance, their eyes meeting silently in the air.
Ye Lanyin nodded immediately.
"Alright, you can go back now. It's your elder brother's wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. Stay at home."
"Yes, Mother."
Lin Chang'an nodded and hurriedly ran out.
Back in his courtyard, after Lin Ruian finished his studies, he hurriedly went to find Lin Ruian.
Since the Second Prince last met Lin Rui'an, the two have been secretly corresponding by letter.
Its content is simple: it is the way to be patriotic.
Lin Rui'an had just burned the letter sent by the Second Prince when he heard familiar footsteps.
"Second Brother." Lin Chang'an ran in.
His handsome, aloof face lifted slightly as he asked, "Is it related to my sister?"
Lin Chang'an shook his head, "No, Second Brother, it's you this time."
He glanced at Lin Chang'an and said, "Speak."
"The female lead is a daughter of the Shen family."
Lin Rui'an's expression darkened slightly. "The Shen family?"
"The Shen family has a first wife and a second wife. Which one are you referring to?"
"It's the second wife; the first wife already has a daughter and children."
They've all divorced today, their wives and children are separated...
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui'an tightened his grip slightly on the desk.
"I understand. Did Mother send you to tell me this?"
Lin Chang'an nodded, "Yes, brother, Lin Shixuan and the female lead met today. Don't be fooled by that woman."
"That woman is no good. I saw the way she looked at Lin Shixuan; she looked like she wanted to devour him."
Lin Rui'an smiled slightly. "Don't worry."
Lin Chang'an was initially very worried, but seeing his second brother's expression eased his anxiety considerably.
"Big brother, I have some very important news to tell you."
"Have some tea first to calm your nerves."
Lin Rui'an picked up the Four Books and Five Classics from the table, flipped through them casually, and then put them down.
"Tell me, what could be worse than this situation?"
