Chapter 2 Marrying into the Family
Cao Guangli led the man out of the city without avoiding people. He pulled on the reins right by the official road, lifted the curtain, and started fighting with Lin Xiaocong in the carriage.
Lin Xiaocong suffered because his upper body was tied up like a caterpillar.
Cao Guangli suffered a loss when Lin Xiaocong sneakily kicked his leg, which was injured by an old injury.
The two fought fiercely, one relying on his fists and the other on his legs.
The poor carriage wall was constantly shifting, with a bulge appearing on the left and a crack appearing on the right.
Cao Guangli also tore off the carriage curtain because he thought it was in the way.
"Commander Cao, let's talk this out. I'm really scared by your behavior!"
Cao Guangli wished he could devour its flesh and drink its blood.
Despite the pain from his old wounds, he still attacked Lin Xiaocong.
Lin Xiaocong stood guard in the corner, his legs firmly holding the line of defense.
But he was lying down, while Cao Guangli was kneeling on one knee.
The couple's posture was quite striking to passersby.
"Lin Xiaocong, if I don't kill you today, I'll change my surname to yours!"
"Oh, I'm changing my surname to Li, so don't get the wrong one!"
"Ya ya ya ya ya ya!" Cao Guangli unleashed a barrage of punches.
Lin Xiaocong quickly parried the attack with his foot, preventing the opponent from breaking through the defense.
He advised, "When will this cycle of revenge end?"
"That's because you shameless scoundrel got the better deal. You let Grandpa beat you up, and Grandpa immediately did it!"
It is better to resolve conflicts than to perpetuate them.
"Shut up! You dare say such a thing! Lin Xiaocong, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"It was Hua Yang who insulted you, it has nothing to do with me."
"You still dare to mention that coward!"
"So, next time I'll find you someone who isn't a coward?"
"Damn it, I'm going to strip you naked today!"
"That won't do! It doesn't matter if you're a lone wolf and not clean, but I'm a married man and can't lose my integrity."
"If you can't even keep your mistress, how dare you say you have a family!"
"She just went back to her parents' home!"
"Hahahaha!" Cao Guangli's laughter provoked Lin Xiaocong.
Cao Guangli seized the opportunity, broke through the defense, leaned forward, his face contorted with rage, and raised a fist to strike Lin Xiaocong's face.
Lin Xiaocong smiled at this, then bent his knee and gave it a push.
Cao Guangli let out a blood-curdling scream.
He covered his groin and rolled off the carriage.
Lin Xiaocong struggled to sit up, leaned against the carriage wall, and tilted his head to look out the window at Cao Guangli rolling on the ground.
"Excuse me, Commander Cao, my virginity belongs to Rongrong."
"I'm sorry I can't grant your request."
When Uncle Lin and the other Imperial Guards who had just arrived heard this, they glanced at Cao Guangli rolling on the ground, and then at the carriage that was almost falling apart, without feeling the slightest bit of sympathy.
It is wrong to forcibly abduct men.
Cao Guangli was in so much pain that he curled his body into a shrimp shape.
He stared in Lin Xiaocong's direction, his eyes bloodshot: "The imperial decree requires Seventh Young Master Lin to be bound with ropes until he leaves the country!"
Lin Ershu's men were about to untie Lin Xiaocong when they heard this and looked at Lin Ershu.
Lin Xiaocong laughed: "Untie it."
"If you don't untie it, how can I cure Cao Du's illness?"
"What if we cannot have offspring? Wouldn't that be a grave crime of filial impiety?"
Cao Guangli roared, "Lin Xiaocong! I'm going to kill you!"
Lin Xiaocong laughed fearlessly: "I can also heal your leg."
“Commander Cao has a military background, and he has injured his leg twice. If it is crippled, his future will be ruined.”
Before Uncle Lin's men could make a move, the Imperial Guards had already stepped forward and untied the ropes binding Lin Xiaocong.
After being rescued, Lin Xiaocong got out of the car and almost knelt down on the spot.
The deputy commander of the Northern Imperial Guards rose to his position through genuine ability, and dealing with Cao Guangli was no easy task for him.
The area below the knees is numb.
Grinding teeth, hoho.
Lin Xiaocong moved his somewhat unsteady legs and walked towards Cao Guangli.
The imperial guards around Cao Guangli naturally stood in front of him to protect him.
They lifted Cao Guangli off the ground.
Lin Xiaocong stopped and asked, "Why don't we go through the south gate?"
Cao Guangli sneered: "The Emperor did not say that he necessarily had to expel Young Master Lin to the Southern Border."
"So you're planning to send me to the Northwest?"
Silence is the best answer.
"Young master! Young master!" The cicadas' calls could be heard from afar.
Lin Xiaocong glanced up and looked at it.
Autumn Cicada arrived late, driving a horse-drawn carriage.
Cao Guangli: "Lin Qi! You assaulted the guard, criminal..."
"Stop nagging." Lin Xiaocong impatiently moved his leg toward Qiu Chan.
"For the sake of my reunion with Rongrong, I will definitely cure you before I leave the country."
"Lin Xiaocong!"
Lin Xiaocong didn't even turn his head: "Yes, I am a good person who repays evil with kindness."
"grass!"
He always has the ability to infuriate people to death.
Lin Xiaocong arrived at Qiu Chan's carriage.
Qiu Chan smiled and patted her chest, "Young master, don't worry."
"I have brought you everything you ordered."
Lin Xiaocong patted Qiu Chan on the shoulder: "I have always trusted you to handle things."
Lin Xiaocong got into the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at Qiu Hui, Qiu Ju and others in the carriage, lowered the curtain and sat down next to Qiu Chan.
"Autumn Cicada, what did Young Master ask you to bring?"
"The seal, the silver, and your medicine chest, young master, as well as the rare book locked in the box."
"So, why are they here?"
"Ah!" Qiu Chan scratched her head sheepishly. "Qiu Hui said she wants to try spending time with this servant."
"Since we have to be together, I took it upon myself to bring them all with me."
"Qiuju and the others are all Qiuhui's good sisters. They didn't want to be separated, so they took them with them."
Lin Xiaocong smiled and said, "Let's go back to the manor first. I forgot something."
"Young master, what have you forgotten?"
"I'll tell you when we get back to the manor," Lin Xiaocong said, then called out to his second uncle, "Second Uncle, let's go back to the manor first."
Cao Guangli: "Lin Xiaocong, the Emperor orders you to depart today!"
Lin Xiaocong: "You'd better hurry back to the city and see a doctor!"
"If others don't think it's good, then come to me."
"This young master keeps his word; if I say I'll punish you, I will."
Cao Guangli grinds his teeth.
After the group entered the city, Lin Xiaocong returned to the Marquis's residence to say goodbye to his elders.
As he emerged from the Marquis's residence, a row of autumn cicadas, fennel, chrysanthemums, ice cream, and okra awaited him at the gate.
Qiu Chan greeted him: "Young master, what did you forget? Why did you come out empty-handed? This servant will go and get it for you."
Lin Xiaocong remained silent, got into the carriage, and sat in the seat that Qiu Chan usually sat in.
Qiu Chan was still waiting for Lin Xiaocong to move over, and Qiu Hui and the others followed behind, preparing to get into the carriage.
Lin Xiaocong smiled at Qiu Chan: "I forgot to leave you behind."
Qiu Chan's pupils widened, her face blank.
Lin Xiaocong grabbed the reins, flicked the whip, and rode away.
Lin Xiaocong's laughter echoed in the wind: "Qiu Chan, congratulations on being freed from slavery."
Qiu Hui and the others took two steps to catch up: "Young Master!"
Qiu Chan stood there, stunned, unsure whether to experience extreme sadness or extreme joy first. The thunderous sound of his heartbeat almost shattered his eardrums.
The cold wind brought tears to his eyes.
*
As Lin Xiaocong set off, the Imperial Guards stationed at the gate followed.
Why are they so lenient with Lin Xiaocong?
All because the new emperor couldn't stand him, he simply banished him from the country.
Cao Guangli eventually had to ask Lin Xiaocong for help.
It's not a urology clinic, it's an orthopedics clinic.
He threatened, "Lin Xiaocong, if you can't cure me, don't blame me for ruining your reputation!"
Lin Xiaocong prescribed him a remedy, both for internal and external use.
The only difference was that an extra ingredient, Coptis chinensis, was added to the medicine he drank.
He smiled and said, "Commander Cao, rest assured, I am a gentleman."
Passing through Qizhou to Jianye, Lin Xiaocong happened to arrive just in time for the coronation ceremony of the Southern Zhou emperor on the sixth day of the second lunar month.
He used a fake household registration and a fake address, and after entering the city, he first went to Jimin Pharmacy to check the news that had drawn attention to him.
Then, under the cover of night, they scaled the wall and entered the Li residence, sneaking into Li Rong's room.
Li Rong had already retired for the night. A dim light was left on the wall at the base of the room, just enough to make out the furnishings.
Lin Xiaocong carefully approached the bedside and lifted the curtain.
With the help of the dim light, he could see the face on the pillow that he had been longing for day and night.
"Rongrong~"
Li Rong snored softly.
He nudged her: "Rongrong?"
Li Rong turned over, leaving him with her back turned.
Lin Xiaocong laughed, all the fatigue from the long journey vanished, and he felt excited and overjoyed.
He placed a cloth bag he was carrying next to her pillow, took off his clothes and shoes, got into bed, lifted the covers, and hugged Li Rong from behind.
His sweet Rong'er is fragrant and soft.
He couldn't resist kissing the back of her neck, his large hands caressing her waist and down to her lower abdomen.
She was already showing after more than five months of pregnancy.
He felt her pulse.
The pulse is smooth and round like a string of pearls, and the pulse at the cun position is deep and continuous, indicating that the fetal energy is vigorous and well-nourished.
He couldn't stop smiling, grabbed her hand, and kissed it on the lips.
"My dear Rong'er, I've come to marry into your family."
