Chapter 180 Wang Jing Comes to the Door
"I heard from Xier that you are returning to the capital for a big event this time." Mrs. Lin said.
Xiao Yongyan didn't want to say more, but Madam Lin seemed to see what he was thinking, and then said, "If you really think of me as your mother-in-law, then tell me the truth."
At this point, Xiao Yongyan could only say, "My mother-in-law has already learned about this from my second brother, so why shouldn't I admit it?"
"Yongyan, I know that your father, the Regent, is a man of great talent and ability. Although you are his son, you have never been involved in officialdom and lack experience. You blindly take sides. Haven't you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you fail?" Mrs. Lin asked sternly.
Lin Xi was startled by Mrs. Lin's behavior and subconsciously wanted to stand up and speak for Xiao Yongyan.
"Xi'er, don't interfere." Mrs. Lin immediately noticed Lin Xi's actions.
Before Lin Xi could say anything, Mrs. Lin stopped him.
"Xiao Yongyan, can't you answer my question?" Mrs. Lin continued to put pressure on him.
Xiao Yongyan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "The world can bear witness to my love for Xi'er. Although this is a bit risky, given our current situation, if we don't gamble, we will have to hide for the rest of our lives, living in fear every day. It's better to gamble. As for what my mother-in-law is worried about, I can only say that it's possible in theory, but impossible in practice."
"Really? How did you know?" Mrs. Lin had no intention of letting Xiao Yongyan go.
"When my father was alive, he once said that the one who wins the hearts of the people will rule the world. We walked all the way to the capital, and wherever we passed, there were not many people praising the emperor. They were all pale and thin. How could such a monarch win the hearts of the people?" Xiao Yongyan said.
"In that case, do you think the one you chose is a wise ruler? But you have to know that he has never been in that position for even a day, and his other brothers are just as eager to take over." Madam Lin continued, "Don't think that I know nothing just because I'm a woman in the harem. After all, the world belongs to those with ability. Even if you get it for a while, you may not be able to keep it forever."
"What my mother-in-law said is right." Xiao Yongyan said.
Mrs. Lin saw that she had said a lot, but Xiao Yongyan was still calm and composed. She understood that this child was just like his father, a determined person who would never back down once he set his goal.
"Mrs. Lin," Xiao Yongyan called her a different name, "No matter how things go, I will always put Xier's safety first."
Mrs. Lin was stunned, then she realized that this was probably the biggest promise Xiao Yongyan could make.
"A man should keep his word. Since you have made such a promise, I hope you will keep it." Madam Lin said, "Yun Huan, you guys should leave first. Let me rest for a while."
Lin Yunhuan nodded and brought Xiao Yongyan out.
Lin Xi followed behind and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she would not be able to convince Mrs. Lin.
"Mother can't do anything about you." Lin Yunhuan said unhappily, "I thought mother could persuade you to come back, but I didn't expect you to run away with me. Really."
"Second brother, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt." Lin Xi said, "Did she plant the Ganoderma lucidum I gave to mother last time?"
Lin Yunhuan was stunned. "Ganoderma lucidum?"
He thought about it carefully and suddenly realized, "So the Ganoderma lucidum in my mother's room was given by you! But how did you contact my mother?"
"Please, Miss Wang." Lin Xi told the truth.
"You know Wang Yunong?" Lin Yunhuan was almost speechless. "You have never had any contact with the Lin family before, how do you know Wang Yunong?"
"We just met recently." Lin Xi said.
"Don't hide it from me. Tell me the truth about what happened." Lin Yunhuan's tone became serious for a rare time. He felt more and more that he seemed to have missed a lot of things. What on earth have his sister and brother-in-law been doing these days?
Lin Xi didn't know how to start explaining to Lin Yunhuan, it was really difficult.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the house, and the sound of knocking on the door was particularly abrupt in this quiet suburb.
"I'll go take a look. You guys go back inside and don't come out." Lin Yunhuan said quickly.
Most of the time, things that happen at this time are not good.
Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan were driven into an empty house nearby, and Xiao Yongyan also looked nervous.
"Did someone discover us?" Lin Xi said worriedly.
"Don't worry, we have hardly shown up in the capital. Even if someone finds us, they won't be able to find this place." Xiao Yongyan's mind was working rapidly, analyzing various possibilities.
However, they soon saw a familiar figure.
"You two made me look so hard!"
Lin Xi looked through the crack in the door and saw that the person standing outside was none other than Wang Jing.
Xiao Yongyan obviously recognized Wang Jing's voice. He felt relieved and pushed the door open and walked out.
"Even if you want to leave, can't you tell me? You know how much effort I put into finding you. If I hadn't recognized the Lin family's carriage today, I really wouldn't have known that you were hiding here."
Xiao Yongyan said quickly, "We didn't come here voluntarily. Everything was arranged by my second brother."
Lin Yunhuan watched helplessly as Xiao Yongyan threw a shiny pot at him. This brother-in-law was really speechless.
"Mr. Lin, my Wang family has never done anything to offend the Lin family. Why are you doing this?" Wang Jing said.
Seeing the artillery fire coming towards him, Lin Yunhuan felt very wronged. "You shouted and shouted for war at my doorstep, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Lin Xi was surprised. "The one who was shouting outside just now was yours?"
Wang Jing said unhappily, "If I don't do this, who among you will come to open the door?"
Lin Xi was helpless, "Just tell me nicely, who would refuse to open the door for you?"
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and let's go now." Wang Jing stepped forward and tried to pull Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan away.
Lin Yunhuan had no objection to taking Xiao Yongyan away, but he disagreed to taking Lin Xi away. "It was not easy for me to bring my sister out of that tiger and wolf den in the capital. If you want to go back, take Xiao Yongyan back with you."
"That's impossible," Wang Jing glared, "Lin Xi can't possibly not go."
"Why?"
"Speaking of which, her current role is greater than Xiao Yongyan's." Wang Jing said.
These words confused Lin Yunhuan. When did his sister become so capable?
"What do you mean?" Lin Yunhuan asked with a frown.
The matter was of great importance, so Wang Jing could not tell the truth. He could only say, "You don't need to know about this."
Lin Yunhuan was even more unhappy. Even if he, Wang Jing, was a member of the Wang family, he couldn't look down on their Lin family like this.
"I'm sorry, if you can't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about taking my sister away." Lin Yunhuan said in a firm voice.
