Chapter 415 Adopted Son
Knowing that Shen Wan was worried about Shen Ling, Xie Jingyu said, "Shen Ling should return to Beijing with Chu Yang."
Shen Wan looked at him, "Are you sure?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Chen Ling went to look for Chu Yang, and Shen Dan followed. It's possible that Shen Ling got into trouble along the way and didn't make it to Jizhou, but Shen Dan will definitely find Chu Yang. You know, Shen Ling disappeared while looking for him. Chu Yang won't return to the capital until he finds Shen Ling."
Although Chu Yang was ordered to investigate the Jizhou granary water leakage case, it was sufficient for him to investigate the case thoroughly and send the evidence to Beijing. It was not necessary for Chu Yang to return to Beijing in person to present the evidence.
Xie Jingyu knew that Chu Yang and Prince Yuzhang were not people who valued fame, wealth and power very much.
Although this was just Xie Jingyu's guess, Chen Wan believed him and Chu Yang's character. Besides, there was nothing he could do except believe it.
…
After Prince Ling opened his palace, the Lin Mansion held a banquet to celebrate his adopted son.
That day, the weather was clear and the sky was blue.
After breakfast, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu took a carriage to Lin's house.
The last wedding in the Lin family was twenty years ago when Lin Qingyin got married.
The Lin Mansion, which had been cold and lonely for twenty years, finally had another happy event. The servants in the Lin Mansion were all smiling and were very happy.
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin wanted to adopt Shen Ji as their adopted son many years ago, but Shen Ji had always refused. Only now did Old Tutor Lin finally get his wish, and he was so happy that he rewarded the mansion with monthly allowance for the first and second half of the year.
There were only Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin in the Lin Mansion. Shen Ji and Yun came early in the morning to help greet the guests. Shen Li and Princess Jiangling were also there.
When Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu arrived at the Lin Mansion, Shen Yu and the Prince of Zhaoping also came.
Seeing Shen Yu, Shen Wan said happily, "Eldest sister is here too."
Chen Yu was a little worried, "Mom didn't allow me to come, she will definitely scold me later..."
Chen Yu's belly is so big that it looks like she is about to give birth at any time.
In fact, it only took about half a month.
Shen Wanfu said to her, "No matter how much you scold me, my grandparents will definitely be happy."
Looking at Chen Wan's bulging belly, Chen Yu laughed.
Wan'er's belly was so big, but she still supported her.
The two sisters entered the house, Chen Li came first, and then Yun.
Yun came over and glared at them, "You two are turning a deaf ear to what your mother says, aren't you?"
Chen Wan is better off, at least she doesn't have to hold her waist when walking. But Chen Yu is about to give birth at any time. The carriage is bumpy. What if it breaks down after a bump on the road?
Not worry-free at all.
As Chen Wan said, no matter how angry she was, now that Chen Yu was here, Yun Shi would not ask her to go back. Old Madam Lin loved Chen Wan and also loved Chen Yu.
Over there, Princess Jiangling came over and saw her. She said solemnly, "Sister-in-law has lost a lot of weight. Is her morning sickness still not gone?"
Princess Jiangling said, "I haven't vomited much in the past two days."
The three of them went to pay their respects to Old Madam Lin, while Xie Jingyu and the Prince of Zhaoping stayed in the outer courtyard to help entertain the guests.
After entering the inner courtyard and going to the yard where Old Madam Lin lived, Chen Wan saw Old Madam Lin sitting on the Luohan couch as soon as he entered the house. She looked so energetic. It had been many years since he saw Old Madam Lin so energetic.
Seeing the three of them, Mrs. Lin smiled and was extremely happy.
After sitting for a while, Princess Yong came. She first paid her respects to Old Madam Lin, sat for a while, and then went to help Yun greet the guests. Originally, Shen Wan and Shen Yu should have helped, but they were too heavy to help, and no one dared to let them run around, so they could only stay in the house to accompany Old Madam Lin.
However, there was no shortage of help. Wei Mingzhu and Ling Xue helped greet the ladies who came and played with them in the garden.
The Lin family held a wedding after twenty years, and all the civil and military officials in the court came, even the Duke of Song and the Left Prime Minister came in person to congratulate.
Just kidding, when Madam Lin celebrated her birthday, the Lin Mansion didn't send out any invitations, but just had a big party in the mansion. The Emperor even left the palace and came to the Lin Mansion to celebrate Madam Lin's birthday, not to mention such a big happy event as the old tutor Lin adopting a son.
The emperor will most likely come to the Lin Mansion.
No, it will definitely come!
Duke Dingguo's daughter got married and his son got married, and the emperor went out of the palace to attend the wedding banquet. Now it was Duke Dingguo's turn, could the emperor still be absent?
Now that the emperor is here, which minister would dare not come?
Well, the last time the emperor came to congratulate Madam Lin on her birthday, he did not mobilize a large army. This time, he came in the imperial sedan chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looking majestic yet approachable.
Witnessed by hundreds of civil and military officials and the emperor, Shen Ji, his wife and children knelt down and kowtowed to Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin.
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin had tears in their eyes and hurried to help them up.
Afterwards, everyone was invited to take their seats and the banquet began.
The atmosphere was lively and bustling with cheers.
Seeing such a grand occasion, Duke Song and the Left Prime Minister could not smile at all, and had to force themselves to smile.
Chen Wan, Chen Yu and Princess Jiangling were at the same table, accompanied by Wei Mingzhu, Ling Xue and Xie Zhiyao. Everyone was talking and laughing, and there was constant laughter.
Xie Jingyu sat together with the Prince of Yuzhang, the Prince of Yong, and Yun Yan. They were all familiar faces, so they had a great time.
Prince Yong patted Prince Yuzhang on the shoulder and asked, "Prince, have you been very busy lately?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "I'm not busy."
"Then why do I rarely see you? You're not even there when I invite you to dinner," Prince Yong asked curiously.
Prince Yuzhang said, "I was busy with some personal matters..."
Zhao Ang came over and asked, "What's the private matter?"
Good brother, there is nothing you can't ask.
I can ask, but unfortunately I can’t tell.
Prince Yuzhang reached out and pushed Zhao Ang's face away. "When I can, I will definitely tell you."
Zhao Ang said, "Even we can't know first, what private matter is so mysterious?"
...Not only did it not quench their curiosity, it aroused it even more.
Prince Yuzhang was afraid that they would ask more questions, so he quickly raised his glass to toast.
Prince Yong looked at Prince Weiguo, "Brother Wei, you seem absent-minded. Is there something on your mind?"
The Prince of Weiguo has a lot on his mind.
My sister is about to be kidnapped, and I don’t know who kidnapped her.
How can a big brother not be worried when he has such a gullible sister?
If he wants to know which little bastard deceived his sister, he must be skinned alive.
Thinking of this, the Prince of Yuzhang who was sitting opposite him sneezed loudly.
Prince Yuzhang rubbed his nose and said, "I feel like someone is scolding me..."
Zhao Ang asked with a smile, "Have you done anything recently that got you scolded?"
Zhao Ang just responded casually, but when Prince Yuzhang glanced at the unhappy Prince of Weiguo across from him, he suddenly felt guilty.
He suspected that it was the Prince of Weiguo who had just scolded him.
Prince Weiguo didn't notice Prince Yuzhang's guilty look, but Prince Yong did. He took the opportunity to watch the fun and patted Prince Yuzhang on the shoulder, "You look so guilty, it's like you've done something to offend Prince Weiguo..."
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
It makes me feel scared.
Prince Yuzhang calmed himself down and said, "How could that be? I wouldn't dare, absolutely not."
