After Lin Yuxin and her four uncles sat in her second uncle's study, Lin Yuxin saw the look of relief on her four uncles' faces.
Lin Yuxin burst out laughing:
"Hehe! Is Grandfather really that scary? Look how frightened you all are!"
Zhao Yinglan disapprovedly and complained to Lin Yuxin about her father:
"Yuxin, you don't know, ever since Father recovered, he not only goes to the army every day to make an inspection, but also manages the house like a military, from Mother to your youngest brother, he doesn't let anyone go."
“Every day before dawn, the whole family has to get up and run, plus memorize the family rules! After dinner, in addition to running again, there is a family pep rally, which is held every day.”
"What problems did you have at work today? We can discuss them, but it's been exhausting for us. Your second aunt is already struggling, and your third aunt, who is pregnant, has luckily escaped. Yuxin, what's wrong with Father?"
As Zhao Yinglan spoke, he almost burst into tears. He couldn't take it anymore! He wished he could live in the military camp every day and never come back.
But it was no use. His father could send someone to the military camp to inquire, and if there was nothing wrong, the training would be even more intensive once they got home.
Their father is even more brutal than when they were children! Incredibly wealthy and inhumane!!!
"Hehe! Hehe! Is that so?!"
Lin Yuxin wondered if this method sounded familiar. Wasn't this the method she had written for her grandfather to train new recruits? Why was she using it at home?
She looked at her four uncles, touched her nose guiltily, and thought, "Forget it, I'd better not tell them that this matter is related to me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't dare to enter the General's Mansion again."
"Ahem, well, my four uncles, we've come to see you all today. Nothing much, just wanted to drop by. Let's sit for a bit and then head out!"
Lin Yuxin awkwardly changed the subject. If she hadn't seen how ferocious her grandfather was just now, she wouldn't have brought up this topic.
Fortunately, my maternal grandfather didn't pursue the matter.
The four uncles finally realized what was happening and looked at Yuxin with gratitude. Their niece was truly wonderful! She knew how to care for her uncles!
"Hehe, Yuxin, don't say you're fine. Even if something is wrong, just tell your uncle, and your fourth uncle will definitely help you!"
Zhao Yinglan immediately realized that her niece was saving them! She patted her chest happily and made a promise.
Oh dear, the person who saved him from his father's torment was his benefactor.
"That's right, Yuxin is my lucky star!"
Fifth Uncle also quickly looked at Lin Yuxin.
Looking at their grateful faces, Lin Yuxin touched the tip of her nose and felt increasingly guilty.
"Well, we're family, don't be so formal! I'm going to see my maternal grandfather!"
Lin Yuxin couldn't stand it any longer, so she made an excuse to leave. However, when she went to find her maternal grandfather, she was told that he had gone to the palace.
Lin Yuxin originally wanted to talk to her maternal grandfather about the latest training of the special forces, but he wasn't there. So she chatted with her maternal grandmother for a while and then left.
Lin Yuxin didn't take a carriage; she and Xiaodie walked back. The streets were still bustling with people shopping and sightseeing.
It seems that yesterday's commotion didn't affect them at all; life goes on, doesn't it?
Thinking this, Lin Yuxin suddenly decided not to go back. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to go for a walk!
So Lin Yuxin led Xiaodie around for a while, and finally arrived at the Shiya Pavilion, where her second brother had brought her before.
Lin Yuxin went inside, asked for a private room, ordered tea, and was just about to chat with Xiaodie about the interesting things that had happened in the capital recently when she heard a woman's voice coming from the next room:
"I heard the Regent has returned?"
“That’s right. My father said that the Regent appeared in the palace yesterday and helped the Emperor wipe out the rebels.”
Another woman said enviously.
"This regent is almost twenty and still unmarried. I wonder if he has someone he loves? In the past six months in that place in the north, he's only been with that Princess Pingning who was suddenly granted the title. Could it be...?"
"Don't talk nonsense. How could the prince like such a vulgar and lowly person from the countryside? Even if she is made a princess, so what? She may not have returned from her trip to the north city yet. Since the prince didn't bring her back with him, he must not like her."
At this moment, the first woman sneered and said disdainfully.
The news of Lin Yuxin's return had not yet spread, so these young women were even less aware that Lin Yuxin had returned.
"Oh, Shuhe, don't be angry. We were just talking nonsense. The prince will definitely like you, don't worry."
"That's right, that's right, Shuhe, you're a princess of the Prince Gong family, are you afraid of a lowly maid like her? Now that the prince is back, don't you want to seize this opportunity and win him over in one fell swoop?"
The young lady standing nearby immediately comforted them, saying that she was afraid Princess Shuhe would get angry, and if she did, they would all suffer the consequences.
"My father said that when the prince returns this time, he will go to the palace to mediate and ask the emperor to grant the marriage!"
Princess Shuhe calmed down, and when she talked about the bestowed marriage, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she shyly twisted the handkerchief in her hand.
She didn't think that such a precious and godlike man would like such an ordinary and lowly person as Lin Yuxin.
She fell in love with Li Xiaochen at first sight when she was a child at a palace banquet, but he always had a cold face, which made her afraid to get close to him.
In addition, after his father passed away, he was often away fighting, so they had even less time to see each other.
She wanted to marry him so badly she was almost going crazy. She had always known that Li Xiaochen was cold and aloof and that there were no women around him, so she could wait.
