Zhao Hanyue patiently explained Lin Xiong'an's situation to her son. This woman can be much more assertive than a man when she gets going!
"How did Mother know that the woman wasn't carrying Father's child?"
Now it was truly Lin Shixiao's turn to be shocked. How could his mother have noticed so much in such a short time? He had only noticed that the woman was strange. Had he wasted all those years in the Ministry of Justice?
"I'm just guessing. Xin Xin said it's called a woman's intuition! You don't have that! But I think it's pretty much true that Lin Xiong'an is going to raise someone else's son."
Zhao Hanyue glanced at her son and then continued.
Lin Shixiao: ……!
A woman's intuition? What is that?
In the end, Lin Shixiao could only attribute it to his mother's incredible abilities!
"But Mother, what if Lin Xiong'an comes looking for trouble again? Should we try to drive them out of the capital?"
Lin Shixiao felt that this method was the most permanent solution, so as to avoid having to encounter it from time to time and feel annoyed.
"It's alright, let's wait until he remembers me before we talk about it!"
Zhao Hanyue now felt that ignoring Lin Xiong'an was already being merciful. If Lin Xiong'an had the audacity to cause trouble in front of her again, then she wouldn't be so ruthless.
Last time, when his illegitimate son died, he dared to blame it on Shao Yang. If his brothers hadn't stopped him, she really would have beaten him so badly he couldn't get out of bed!
Now that Lin Xiong'an's inner quarters are getting lively, he probably won't remember her for a while!
Lin Shixiao suddenly admired her mother. She never cried when faced with such situations, but instead used strong measures to intimidate the other party, breaking the usual image of a weak woman.
"My mother is amazing!"
Lin Shixiao praised sincerely.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Go check on your Uncle Jin. Did he hurt someone again?"
Zhao Hanyue was happy to hear her son's praise, but when she saw Su Qianjin sitting in the pavilion ahead, holding her waist and craning her neck to look at them, she instantly felt guilty.
Oh no, this medicine bill is definitely going to be huge!!
"good!"
Lin Shixiao also saw the anxious and concerned look in Su Qianjin's eyes in the pavilion, and his dislike for him lessened a bit.
While things were bustling around here, Lin Yuxin wasn't idle either, because Qiu Jingfan shamelessly followed Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen for quite a while.
He even hitched a ride on the boat they had booked. Lin Yuxin looked at the man speechlessly. Didn't he have any sense? Didn't he see that the two of them wanted some time alone together?
Li Xiaochen's expression wasn't good either! He finally had a chance to be alone with Xin Xin for a while, and this kid ruined it!!!
"Hey! You two, don't look so serious. This is my first New Year in Xia Kingdom, and I don't know if I'll have the chance to come back again! Just keep me company, okay?"
Qiu Jingfan fanned himself with his folding fan, noticing that the two had looked miserable the whole way, and then spoke up to comfort them.
"You'd better not come again! Your Zhao state must be very lively during the New Year, it's the same as celebrating it there!"
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes. Don't come, please don't come!
However, Lin Yuxin's eyes darted around, and she poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaochen and herself, then poured a cup for Qiu Jingfan as well, pushing it impatiently in front of him.
Li Xiaochen's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"That's true. The New Year celebrations in Zhao were also very lively."
Qiu Jingfan agrees with this point. No matter what country people are from, they all think their own country is the best. This is perhaps what patriotism is all about!
Qiu Jingfan, unconcerned by their cold expressions, picked up the cup of tea Lin Yuxin had poured, drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said:
"The tea poured by the princess is indeed delicious!"
Lin Yuxin didn't say anything more. Seeing that her plan had succeeded, she was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and turned to whisper to Li Xiaochen.
"Li Xiaochen, what did you and the Emperor discuss? When are we going to send this unlucky fellow back?"
Lin Yuxin leaned close to Li Xiaochen's ear and asked.
"It will be soon. I originally planned to send him away after the New Year, but your marriage to me is approaching. We'll set off after the wedding."
Li Xiaochen had finally managed to marry the woman he loved, so how could he possibly refuse because of internal affairs of the Zhao Kingdom?
It's not like the Xia Kingdom has changed hands. Qiu Jingfan isn't in a hurry at all; he's busy with Xin Xin every day. Why is he in such a rush?
"So, who's been chosen to go?"
Lin Yuxin nodded and then asked.
The people going there need to be carefully arranged. They are supposed to be escorting Qiu Jingfan back to China, but in reality, they are going to help him seize the throne. It's uncertain whether they will even return!
"His Majesty has temporarily decided to send 100 special forces soldiers that you trained. Although the number is small, His Majesty values their ability to fight against 100 enemies. He will also send some ordinary soldiers to confuse the situation. We are just going to help, not to fight against Zhao."
"As long as we ensure our own safety, we can lend a hand. If Qiu Jingfan is incompetent, no matter how much we help him, it will be useless. Besides, if so many of us from Xia go at once, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If it leads to war between the two countries, that will be another problem. So we need to come up with a foolproof plan!"
Li Xiaochen also whispered in Lin Yuxin's ear about the arrangements for going to Zhao.
There's no secret about this, since Xin Xin negotiated this job herself! And, knowing her personality, she might even go along!
To be honest, Li Xiaochen really understands Lin Yuxin, and she really wants to go, but she's still thinking about how to get there.
"Okay! You can arrange it. Just let me know if you need anything."
Lin Yuxin patted her chest generously and said boldly, remaining silent about whether she would go or not.
"Good! My hero!"
Seeing her smug expression, Li Xiaochen chuckled and agreed.
But he knew in his heart that the girl hadn't asked to go with them yet, either because she was up to no good or because she had other plans.
It seems I need to keep a close eye on my little princess for a while, lest she run away before I even know it.
"Look, there are fireworks over there!!"
Lin Yuxin was unaware that Li Xiaochen was preparing to monitor her at all times, fearing that she would run away. At this moment, she suddenly heard fireworks and excitedly turned her head to look at the fireworks blooming in the sky, which made her feel better.
Although the fireworks here are not as dazzling as in her previous life, they are still a blessing and prayer for the new year.
"Yes! It's very beautiful!"
Li Xiaochen also looked up, his lips curving upwards, and nodded in agreement.
While the two were enjoying a sweet and intimate moment, Qiu Jingfan, who had been neglected the entire way, didn't mind. He looked up at the brilliant fireworks, his eyes filled with determination for the future.
He won't give Qiu Qiyi a chance this time he goes back! It's time to contact his old acquaintances!
He only glanced at the fireworks a few times before his stomach started to feel uncomfortable, and the pain gradually worsened. Then, amidst the fireworks, he started farting incessantly.
Qiu Jingfan was instantly filled with shame and indignation! He, a prince, had actually done such a disgraceful thing in front of everyone; it was utterly shameful.
