Chapter 55: Caught in the act



Lin Siqing expressed helplessness.

She also couldn't let them stop pampering her baby daughter, and she would buy any good things she saw for Yangyang.

"Shuang Ning, remember to go back and research in the mansion to build a big toy room for Yangyang."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shang Yuanshan laughed heartily. He wanted to fill the new house with his love for Yangyang.

Lin Jingzhou now had to go to the palace to report. He talked to a few people for a while, then handed Yangyang to Shang Yanqing, mounted his horse and went to the palace.

Lin Siqing stepped forward with a smile. "Sister-in-law, let's go back home and wait for big brother."

"good."

Lin Siqing looked at Shen Mengli who was standing beside her. "Mengli will also go to the mansion with us."

Shen Mengli: "My aunt's family is having a reunion today, so I can't bother you."

Lin Siqing was also worried that she hadn't entertained him well enough today, so she didn't try to keep him. "Okay, let's talk later when we have time."

"Okay, then Meng Li will take her leave first."

[Hehe, look at my big brother's lost look. ]

After hearing Shang Yangyang's thoughts, Lin Siqing noticed that something was wrong with Shang Yanqing.

"Yuanshan, what happened just now?"

On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shang Yuanshan told Lin Siqing what had just happened.

With Shang Yangyang's constant echoing of her thoughts, Lin Siqing also had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Lin Siqing was so happy when she knew about Shen Mengli and Shang Yanqing.

She now likes the little girl Shen Mengli more.

Shen Mengli, who had just arrived at the house, walked secretly towards the yard. Just as she was about to reach her yard, she was stopped by someone.

"Mengli, you're back?"

Shen Mengli stood there resigned to her fate, but she didn't expect that she would be discovered by her mother after sneaking out for a while.

Shen Mengli turned back with a flattering smile on her face. "Mother~"

Su Yinnian looked at Shen Mengli seriously: "Mengli, do you remember what you promised me when you returned to Beijing?"

"Remember, this is Beijing, not Daxing City. You can't let me go out and play every day like I did in Daxing City. Now that I'm back in Beijing, I have to keep a low profile and don't cause trouble for my aunt."

Shen Mengli said quickly: "But I didn't cause any trouble to my aunt. I just heard that Minister Lin was returning to Beijing today. I admire Minister Lin very much, so I went to the city gate to welcome him back to Beijing."

How could Shen Mengli say that she not only admired Minister Lin, she was also wondering whether Shang Yanqing would go to welcome Minister Lin back to Beijing. She didn't expect to actually meet him today.

"I just went to welcome Minister Lin back to Beijing."

Shen Mengli's face was filled with guilt, and her fingers were about to poke a hole in her skirt.

Su Yinnian knew her very well, and it was not Shen Mengli's character to go out and do justice. "Tell me, did you fight with the street thugs, or did you meddle in other people's business?"

Shen Mengli smiled and said, "I just beat the maid of the Hou Shilang's daughter and said a few words to her."

"You~are you injured?"

"I didn't use my full strength."

Su Yinnian looked at Shen Mengli with a smile. "If you had used all your strength, you would have been captured by the patrol soldiers by now."

Su Yinnian asked doubtfully, "How could there be a conflict with the daughter of the Marquis?"

When Shen Mengli said this, she immediately hugged Su Yinnian's arm. "Mother, let me tell you..."

"Did you meet your Aunt Lin? Is she okay? I've been busy with things at home since I came back, and I haven't had time to look for her."

"Yeah, Aunt Lin misses her mother too."

Su Yinnian had been exchanging letters with Lin Siqing before she returned to Beijing. She knew what Lin Siqing was worried about. "She just worries about too many things. Find some time in the next two days for you to go with me to see your Aunt Lin."

"Okay, mother." Shen Mengli was very happy. She was looking forward to going to the general's mansion.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the whole family was waiting for Lin Jingzhou and Prime Minister Lin to return home from the palace.

Shang Yangyang stared at the listless Lin Jingfan with her little eyes.

[Is my uncle still upset because of Princess Jiaxing? ]

[I feel so sorry for my uncle. He has had bad eyesight since he was young, but he actually thought that Princess Jiaxing was a good person and fell in love with her at first sight.]

When Lin Jingfan heard Shang Yangyang's voice, he was hit hard again.

He has figured it all out recently, but now he has no thoughts about matters between men and women anymore.

Wu looked at Lin Jingfan and said, "Jingfan, it's time for you to get over the incident with Princess Jiaxing."

Shang Yuanshan stepped forward and put his arm around Lin Jingfan's shoulders. "Jingfan, you seem to be in low spirits lately staying at the mansion. I'll go out with my brother-in-law tomorrow and take you to see some fun."

Lin Jingfan's eyes sparkled. He had heard recently that what Shang Yuanshan had done made those officials afraid when they heard his name, and he also wanted to join in the fun.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go find my brother-in-law tomorrow."

"Okay~"

Mrs. Wu was very happy to see Lin Jingfan recover, but she felt that someone really needed to control his noisy personality.

Mrs. Wu also had an idea. She decided to wait until all the recent affairs were dealt with before looking for a marriage partner for Lin Jingfan. If a good girl was attracted to Lin Jingfan, it would be fine to let him marry into the family.

Lin Jingfan felt a chill on his back at this moment. He looked back and saw nothing behind him.

The people in the room were chatting happily, and time passed quickly. Then they heard the servant outside report: "Madam, the Prime Minister and the eldest son are back."

"You're finally back." Mrs. Wu stood up, and the whole family went out to greet the two.

Lin Jingzhou: "Mother and son are back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Tears welled up in Wu's eyes. She had been worried about Lin Jingzhou for as long as he had been away. No matter how much good news he brought back, she was still worried.

Ye Huatong knew her mother's worries, because she was also worried that Jingzhou was too straightforward and might fall into danger without knowing it. Fortunately, Shang Yuanshan was secretly helping her this time.

Ye Huatong stepped forward to support Wu. "Okay, mother, you don't have to worry about Jingzhou now that he's back. The food is ready, let's go back to the house and talk."

"well."

Just as a few people entered the house, the servant ran in again.

"Prime Minister, someone is coming from the palace."

Everyone went out again and saw Eunuch Li coming with the imperial edict.

Eunuch Li did not waste any time, he opened the imperial edict and read it loudly: "The Emperor decrees, by the Will of Heaven.

I have heard that the Minister of Justice Lin Jingzhou, who is diligent and responsible, intelligent and courageous, has recently solved the strange case of a missing girl, saved the innocent from danger, and ensured the peace of our people. His achievements are outstanding, and he is truly a pillar of the country and a blessing to the people.

Therefore, I am pleased to grant Lin Jingzhou a gold medal of immunity from death to show his loyalty and contribution to the country. I also confer the title of First-rank Imperial Lady to Lin Jingzhou's loving mother Wu Lanfu to show my appreciation for her good parenting. At the same time, I confer the title of Third-rank Imperial Lady to Lin Jingzhou's virtuous wife to show her merits in helping her husband and educating her children.

I hope that Lin Jingzhou will continue to be loyal, diligent, and work for the country and the people. His family should also be proud of this and continue to carry it forward, share my worries, and be loyal to the country.

So decreed."

Shang Yangyang: “Aa ...
