Chapter 189 A Debt of Romance
"What is this lady's surname?"
Ye Wan picked out her favorite hairpin and put it on her head.
"His surname is Lin." Lin Anyuan knew this Lin.
He didn't know what her name was, and a grown man like him wouldn't casually inquire about his boss's private life.
Ye Wan stroked her chin and guessed, "Isn't this the same surname as you? Maybe you're family! Or relatives."
"You're overthinking it. There are so many people in the world with the same surname. If they were really related to my family, how could I not recognize them?"
His mother has no relatives left.
When Lin Anyuan saw that she had taken off her jewelry again, he immediately carried her to take a bath.
Ye Wan's skin was very fair, and it looked even fairer lying on the bright red bed. Lin Anyuan's eyes reddened as he looked at her.
In the middle of the night, Ye Wan felt unbearably hot, so she kicked him and kicked off the blanket.
...
...
Jiang Lian'er felt very cold and woke up in the middle of the night from the cold. She saw that the quilt had fallen to the ground.
I picked up the blanket and wrapped it around myself, but I still couldn't fall asleep.
She recalled something from five or six years ago, a past she had deliberately tried to forget.
She was fifteen years old, and her family was considered well-off. Her grandfather hired a small opera troupe for his birthday celebration. One of the martial arts actors was very good at it. She accidentally lost her handkerchief, which was picked up by the actor.
After a while, she got pregnant and, not daring to tell her family, eloped with the martial arts actor. Little did she know that she had misjudged him; he was a beast who, disregarding her pregnancy and the fact that she was carrying his child, wanted to sell her to an old bachelor.
It was at that time that she met Lin Anyuan, and it was like grasping at a lifeline. Lin Anyuan saved her.
She had never seen such a handsome man before. She shamelessly followed Lin Anyuan, only to find three low mud houses and two little girls.
Back then, she heard about Lin Anyuan's bad reputation, so she only stayed for a short month, and ran away the day after giving birth...
After escaping, she was almost sold to a filthy place, but Hu San saved her.
I never expected that when I saw him again, he would be someone whom King Jing valued so highly.
Jiang Lian'er's heart pounded as she thought of Lin Anyuan's god-like face.
Perhaps he liked her from the first time he saw her, but this person never spoke to her or even looked at her directly.
Jiang Lian'er lay on the bed, unable to calm down for a long time. Lin Anyuan had raised her daughter, so he must care about her.
Bang--
The door was suddenly opened, and Jiang Lian'er, who was almost asleep, was startled awake. Then, a hand slipped inside her clothes and began to knead her.
"Hu San, don't touch me!"
Jiang Lian'er immediately got up and jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) onto the ground.
After drinking, Hu San pulled her up and pinned her down, saying, "You're my wife, why can't I touch you? The new law says you can't beat your wife, but it doesn't say you can't sleep with your wife!"
"Get out! Don't touch me!" Jiang Lian'er punched and kicked.
"I've been sleeping with you for years, what are you pretending to be now, you wicked woman? Who do you think you're keeping your chastity for? Missing Lord Lin?"
"Tch, with your appearance, all dark and prickly to the touch, even if you were stripped naked and presented to Lord Lin, he wouldn't give you a second glance."
Hu San has found out the truth in the past two days. The man's name is Lin Anyuan, a favorite of Prince Jing. He is said to be very capable and has even been to prison.
How could someone like that possibly be interested in that wretched woman, Jiang Lian'er?
Jiang Lian'er trembled with anger, kicked the person away, wrapped herself in the blanket, and shouted, "Get out!"
Hu San cursed and swore, "This is my house, if anyone's going to get out, it's you!"
Jiang Lian'er wiped away her tears, put on her clothes, and went out.
The winter nights in Ganzhou are very cold.
However, the weather has warmed up after the Lunar New Year these past few days, so even if it gets cold again, it won't freeze you to death.
As soon as dawn broke, Lin Anyuan had to brave the cold wind to get to work.
At this moment, Lin Anyuan seemed unapproachable.
Nobody's happy about getting up early and braving the cold wind to go to work.
Lin Anyuan took the hand warmer from the coachman, got into the carriage, and closed his eyes.
He used to be in poor health and was very sensitive to the cold in winter. I don't know if it's because of some lingering illness, but sometimes he would cough incessantly and could hear his own chest heaving when he was lying in bed, like an old man in his fifties or sixties.
Since Wanwan came along, it seems like my health has suddenly improved, and I'm no longer cold, so we haven't lit a brazier in the carriage.
The hand warmer was prepared by Wanwan; it was very warm, and Lin Anyuan felt that his palms were sweaty.
Xiao opened the gate, and the carriage drove directly out of the courtyard.
"Lin Anyuan!"
Lin Anyuan vaguely thought he heard someone calling him, but then he thought he must have misheard.
If there were people, the horse driving the carriage would have stopped. The fact that the horse didn't stop means there were no people.
Jiang Lian'er had been freezing all morning, and finally waited for dawn. The gate opened, but the carriage left without even stopping.
Jiang Lian'er wanted to knock on the door, but after taking two steps she suddenly stopped, gritted her teeth and walked towards the market.
Lin Anyuan returned home early today because the eldest, third, and fourth young masters were coming to visit him.
The second young master is still in Min County and hasn't returned yet.
The other young masters are still too young for Lin Anyuan to have any dealings with.
Lin Anyuan didn't actually want these people to come, but since they were already there, he felt awkward about turning them away.
Lin Anyuan was quite annoyed that someone would suddenly come to visit.
Lin Anyuan immediately sent Xiao Ma to inform his family, and he arrived in the eldest son's carriage.
Just as they arrived at their doorstep, a haggard-looking woman rushed towards them.
"Lin Anyuan! I've finally met you!"
"Who are you?" Lin Anyuan had no recollection of you.
"Lin Anyuan, don't you remember me?" Jiang Lian'er burst into tears.
She had been searching for so many days without seeing anyone, and today she had waited for so long in the cold wind. She had no choice but to go to the market and eat a bowl of noodles. When she saw Lin Anyuan, he didn't even recognize her.
impossible.
"Lin Anyuan, do you really not remember me?" Jiang Lian'er bit her lip and shed tears, trying to make herself look pitiful.
It's probably because I've been freezing for too long; my snot came out all at once, which looked a bit disgusting, but I didn't even realize it.
Lin Anyuan shook his head, "I can't remember. Please move aside and don't block my doorway."
Since he gained fame by following Prince Jing, many women have been trying to get close to him, which has annoyed Lin Anyuan.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Lian'er panicked, "How could you forget me? I even gave birth to your daughter!"
"Brother Lin, I never knew you had such a romantic entanglement outside!"
The young masters wore expressions of watching a show.
The third young master clicked his tongue twice, "You usually act like you love your wife dearly, but you're a man, so it's understandable. I heard you have three daughters, and I thought they were all born to your wife."
Jiang Lian'er hadn't noticed before, but as soon as she saw Lin Anyuan, she came over, afraid that he would leave again.
My heart is pounding as I look at these well-dressed people.
Who are these people?
