Chapter 165 I Have a Son
After Murong Wen had finished howling, Lin Anyuan slowly spoke.
"Even if that new lady becomes the principal wife, the child she gives birth to will only be an infant in swaddling clothes. The eldest son is already the lord's right-hand man, so why bother with unnecessary worries?"
Murong Wen said, "But my father is still young. Who can predict what will happen in the future!"
Lin Anyuan: "Yes, yes, our lord is still young. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
The rebellion is only one-third complete, and two-thirds are still outstanding. Can't we take a longer-term view?
Murong Wen paused for a moment, then suddenly stopped crying. "You're right."
"I lost my composure because I listened to the third brother."
"Brother Lin, thank goodness you're here!"
Murong Wen thought to himself that his third son was already dead, and Madam Zhao was still in the backyard. If he fell out of favor in the future, the people who should be worried were probably the third and fourth sons.
That's not right. It seems like there aren't many favored ones in the backyard. It's almost pointless to keep them all.
Lin Anyuan said a few humble words, then praised Murong Wen, "His Majesty still values Young Master the most."
Murong Wen sighed, "You're overthinking it. My father loves to adopt sons; he doesn't have many biological ones."
Even he himself was not King Jing's biological son.
Murong Wen didn't want to bring up this painful topic, so she changed the subject, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Lin Anyuan, you really don't drink at all?"
Looking at the person sitting opposite you, you can feel a strong urge to wonder what such a good-looking person would look like when drunk.
Murong Wen thought to himself, "Thank goodness it wasn't a woman. Otherwise, there would be countless men who would risk everything for a beautiful woman."
Lin Anyuan replied politely, "I get drunk easily and tend to talk nonsense, so it's better if I don't drink."
Alcohol can easily cloud one's judgment, so he needs to stay sober at all times when he's out and about.
Murong Wen came and went inexplicably.
After Murong Wen left, the people around King Jing arrived again, carrying a sheep.
"Lord Lin, this was sent by Prince Jing. He said it's getting cold and he wants you to eat more to nourish your body."
There are also rumors that mutton is nutritious and that people should eat more mutton when it gets cold.
Lin Anyuan was deeply moved and expressed his gratitude many times. Then he decided to go and thank Prince Jing in person.
Lin Anyuan left through the back door, and someone came through the front door.
Butler Lin frowned as he looked at the woman at the door. "Our Master Lin is busy. You didn't even tell me who you are. How am I supposed to go in and deliver a message?"
This is the first time this woman has come back. The first time she came, all she did was cry. She wouldn't answer any questions or say who she was. She just kept saying she wanted to see Lord Lin. Is she sick?
Jiang Lian'er felt like crying whenever she thought of Lin Anyuan, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
She has had a really tough few years.
With a sob in her voice, she finally managed to utter a complete sentence after a long pause: "Please tell Lin Anyuan that my name is Jiang Lian'er, and that Jiang Lian'er has come to see him!"
Steward Lin patiently asked, "Could you please tell me, what is your relationship with our Lord Lin?"
Only after finding out the details can I pass on the message to Lord Lin.
Jiang Lian'er couldn't hold back her tears again. "Go inside and mention Jiang Lian'er, then he'll know I'm here."
Butler Lin: ...
...
...
Lin Anyuan successfully met with King Jing.
Lin Anyuan said many flattering things, and seeing that the Prince Jing was in a good mood, he said, "Your Majesty, the New Year is coming soon, and I would like to go and bring my wife and daughters over."
"You've said so much, just for this one sentence, haven't you?"
King Jing touched the tiger-skin cushion under his buttocks, thinking to himself that this cushion would be a good gift for the fairy maiden. It seemed to have been presented by one of his sons, and the leather was of decent quality.
Lin Anyuan smiled sheepishly, "My lord always seems to know what I'm thinking."
You already have a new wife, you should consider other women.
"Wait a little longer, I'll leave Min County for now, I'm planning to catch a big fish."
Before Lin Anyuan could speak, Prince Jing continued, "I know you're anxious. Don't worry, if there were any real danger, Huigu would send a message by carrier pigeon. Since there's no news yet, your wife and daughters are definitely safe and sound."
Hui Gu is an old servant in the Prince's mansion. She was the nanny who took care of him from childhood. If he didn't really not want to stay in the inner quarters, he would never have let her go out to live out her retirement.
I just don't know if I'll get used to living in Lin Anyuan.
Lin Anyuan smiled, "My lord..."
When King Jing saw him smile, he interrupted him, "Alright, look at your worthless appearance. Go, or you can skip the New Year and take your men to conquer Min County in one fell swoop! Then you can reunite with your wife and daughters!"
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
Seeing that King Jing had no interest in talking to him, Lin Anyuan left immediately after achieving his goal.
After everyone left, King Jing immediately rolled up the tiger skin and ran all the way to the fairy's residence.
"Suyi, what do you think of this tiger-skin cushion? Put it on the soft couch in your room, and you won't be cold when you sit on it."
Inside the room, Su Yi sat on a soft couch, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Just by looking at her, Prince Jing immediately slowed his pace and his heart skipped a beat.
"You don't like it? I'll have someone take it away right now."
Su Yi chuckled lightly, "I quite like it, put it here."
King Jing stumbled and almost tripped at the doorway, his face turning red.
The maid in the room almost couldn't help but laugh.
At the age of thirty-six, King Jing was just like a naive young man experiencing first love in front of his fairy-like wife.
Su Yi spoke softly, "You may all leave. I have something to say to the Prince."
The maidservant left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
"Please sit down."
Murong Jingyi walked awkwardly to the stool and sat down.
Su Yi looked at him and said, "There's something you haven't asked me, but I have to say it. If you're angry after you find out, you can kick me out. It's all up to you."
Upon hearing this opening remark, King Jing's heart leaped into his throat. "Go on," he said.
Could it be that the fairy doesn't want to follow him?
If he really doesn't want to, what method should he come up with to keep the person here?
After a moment's hesitation, Su Yi softly said, "I have a son..."
...
...
"Mother, that fat son of the Nie family had his manhood ruined by the matchmaker's daughter, and the two families are fighting!"
Er Ya jumped down from the carriage with great joy.
The three of them went out with Huigu today, and they never expected to see such a big spectacle.
Ye Wan glanced at Er Ya, "You can secretly gloat in your heart, but don't say it out loud. What if someone hears you and beats you up!"
Er Ya immediately lowered her voice, "Hehe, I know, Mom."
Huigu: ...
After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sentence, "The three girls each have their own personality, as taught by the madam..."
Ye Wan laughed and said, "Auntie, I know you're going to praise me again. Don't praise me, I know I'm very good."
Huigu: ...
Is that what she meant?
"Is there any news?" Ye Wan asked Hui Gu.
"There are no masters, but there are silly girls."
