"Okay, I'll let them visit my house when I'm free," said Lord Xu.
Lord Xu and Yan Qing left together. Yan Qing gave Doudou a lot of gifts and had them delivered to Lian Mansion all at once.
Yan Qing was very reluctant to leave. He liked his junior brother Doudou so much. He had liked Doudou's personality from their usual correspondence. Now he was very happy to see him and wanted to talk to Doudou all night long.
However, Doudou had not yet settled down in the capital, and he did not want to disturb her any further, so he had to give up.
"Girl, when did you let Doudou become Xu Heshan's disciple? Why didn't you tell me?" Ye Baien said with some surprise.
If they could get Xu Heshan on their side, their chances of winning would increase significantly.
"Master, you and Gu... Lianqi's whereabouts are unknown. I can't contact you even if I want to." Xie Yunjiao blinked at Ye Baien.
What she said was true. Ye Baien didn't even leave any contact information, so what could she say?
"It's my fault, Master. Can I apologize to you?"
Xie Yunjiao snorted, "I dare not, how could I dare to do that?"
The group followed Lian Yan back to Lian's residence. Although Lian Jin was accompanied by everyone, he was still nervous as it was his first time visiting such a prestigious mansion.
Suddenly, he felt warmth on his hand. Turning around, he saw Doudou. He took Lian Jin's hand and said, "Brother, let's go together."
"I... I'd better not hold your hand, otherwise..." Lian Jin glanced at Lian Yan secretly. He seemed to feel that Lian Yan was not happy.
"But I'm scared. Can't you just hold my hand?" Doudou looked at Lian Jin aggrievedly, as if someone had snatched his candy away from him.
Lian Jin felt warm in his heart and held Doudou's hand tightly.
He knew that everything Doudou did was because of him.
When the group arrived at the main hall, they saw someone selecting gifts from all over the room.
All kinds of cloth, supplements, books, four treasures of the study... everything you can think of is here, and even things you wouldn't expect are there.
"Why are there several hot water bottles here? Do you think we don't even have a hot water bottle at home?" Mrs. Lian said somewhat unhappily.
I heard that Yan Qing is the eldest son of a marquisate, and he is aloof and cold, rarely making friends with others.
They didn't expect that so many things would be sent to the Lian family today. They thought about it and couldn't figure out why Young Master Yan would send gifts. The only possibility was that he liked their eldest daughter Lian Yiyi.
"Yiyi, look at this cloth, it's pretty good." Mrs. Lian said.
Lian Yiyi took a look and thought it was good, so she signaled her personal maid to pick up the cloth: "I only like one piece, and the others can be distributed to others."
In addition to Lian Yan's family, the Lian Mansion also includes the family of Lian Yan's younger brother Lian Er. Lian Er did not enter the officialdom, not because he did not want to, but because he did not have the ability. However, he liked to brag everywhere, make friends with bad people, and spent a lot of money.
When Mrs. Lian Er heard that she could get some cloth, she couldn't help but feel happy.
These cloths are not only new in style, but also of top quality. If they were sold, they would probably fetch a lot of money.
"Sister-in-law, I think this one is good, can you give it to me?"
Even though the Second Wife was a shrewd person, she didn't dare to ask for the best one and only picked one that looked ordinary.
Because she knew that Mrs. Lian was stingy, if she chose the good ones, Mrs. Lian might not be willing to give them to her.
Instead of waiting for Mrs. Lian to give her the worst ones, it is better to pick out some that are not very good but not too bad.
Mrs. Lian took a look at the cloth chosen by Mrs. Lian Er and immediately understood Mrs. Lian Er's idea. However, since there were still a lot of cloths in front of her, she didn't care and agreed with a wave of her hand.
Lian Yan almost lost face when he saw them rummaging through the gifts sent by Yan Qing without permission and taking them away privately.
He coughed unhappily: "Who told you to touch these gifts?"
When Mrs. Lian saw that it was him, she immediately went out to greet him with a smile, preparing to tell Lian Yan about Yan Qing’s gift.
Suddenly, she saw Gu Huai behind Lian Yan, and saw the black mole on Gu Huai's mouth. She seemed to be in a trance and forgot what to do.
She stared at Gu Huai without blinking, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
Impossible, wasn't Lian Qi already dead? Why did he come back?
"Is this... Lian Qi?" Mrs. Lian asked tentatively.
Lian Yan nodded slightly, looked at Gu Huai and said, "You've been out for so long, why don't you say hello to everyone and then go apologize to your grandmother."
Gu Huai just glanced at everyone in the room indifferently and turned away, walking towards the yard where Old Lady Lian lived with ease, as if he was already very familiar with this place.
Mrs. Lian stared at Gu Huai walking away with her eyes wide open, unable to recover for a moment.
"Why are you still standing there? Take all these gifts to Lian Qi's room." Lian Yan said.
Mrs. Lian came back to her senses and looked at Lian Yan with an unhappy face: "Master, although you are very happy that Lian Qi is back, you can't give him all the gifts that Prince Yan Qing gave to Yi Yi just to please him."
Lian Yiyi looked at Lian Yan a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Lian Yan. She could only pretend to look at Lian Yan aggrieved and said, "Mother, don't say anything. Since Dad feels that Big Brother has been wronged outside and needs compensation, then give him this gift.
I don’t mind.”
The Second Wife regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She thought that if she had moved the gifts back into the house quickly, she might not be in trouble now.
Who would have thought that this eldest brother would be so biased after recognizing his own son? It's so hateful.
No wonder the sister-in-law dislikes Lian Qi so much.
Lian Qi ran away from home to protest his sister-in-law's marriage, and his eldest brother postponed the wedding for several years in order to find Lian Qi.
Later, my eldest sister-in-law became pregnant with several children for my eldest brother, but the pregnancy ended in failure.
It was not until Yi Yi was born that the baby was born safely. After giving birth to Yi Yi, my sister-in-law became very weak and the doctor said she could no longer have children.
The eldest sister-in-law wanted to give birth to another boy for the eldest brother, but no matter how hard she tried, the eldest brother just didn't want to have another one. In addition, the eldest sister-in-law was old and in poor health, so after so many years, there was only one girl, Yiyi.
As Mrs. Lian grew older, she missed Lian Qi more and more, and she often mentioned Lian Qi's name during this period.
Now that Lian Qi is back, I’m afraid things are going to change in the Lian Mansion!
Mrs. Lian Er is a fence-sitter. She was thinking about whether she should try to curry favor with Lian Qi first, but then she thought she had to see Lian Yan's attitude first.
After all, Lian Qi has been away from home for so many years, and his relationship with Lian Yan has probably faded.
"Have you understood? These things aren't for you. They're for my grandson. Doudou is the junior apprentice of Prince Yan Qing. They sent these things to your home ahead of time, and you're so shameless that you're just making a scene, aren't you?"
