Chapter 249 Finale
Lin Yunhuan was happy when he saw Xiao Yongyan looked unhappy.
Xiao Yongyan silently carried his son back and walked straight in.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Xiao Yongyan with a reproachful look from behind. She didn't know what was wrong with her son. He always liked to pick on Xiao Yongyan.
"What are you all doing standing at the door? Come in quickly." Mrs. Lin urged.
A group of people then walked inside.
It was a rare occasion for the whole family to get together, and Mr. Lin was unusually happy, but there was still a hint of worry on his brow.
He asked Xiao Yongyan seemingly unintentionally, "What are your plans for the future?"
Xiao Yongyan said quickly, "From now on, my son-in-law plans to open a school in the capital and make a living by teaching."
Father Lin nodded and said, "Teaching is indeed good."
However, Lin Yunhuan, who knew his father well, immediately responded, "That won't work. If you just teach, the income will be less anyway."
"Kid, what are you talking about while eating?" Mrs. Lin interrupted quickly. It was already quite good that her daughter and son-in-law could come back. What was the point of talking about income? They did not need that little income now.
"Don't worry. With the reputation of Mr. Shuer, there is no need to worry about not having students come to the school." Lin Xi said with a smile.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
"Mr. Shuer?" Lin Yunhuan immediately remembered, "Isn't this the famous old gentleman!"
Everyone in the capital city knew the name of Mr. Shuer. Now, when they learned that the famous Mr. Shuer was actually Xiao Yongyan, everyone in the Lin family was shocked.
Although Father Lin was shocked, he also felt relieved.
Since Xiao Yongyan has such ability, there is nothing wrong with him opening a school and becoming a free and easy teacher.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Xi'er and I already have a child, so I will not only think about myself. I have also thought about the future path many times." Xiao Yongyan said sincerely, "Even if you can realize your ambitions in the officialdom, the price you pay is too painful. I don't have any big ideals, I just want to live an ordinary life."
These words can be said to have touched the softest part of Lin's father's heart. Indeed, if there was no other way, who would be willing to survive in an environment of intrigue and deception in the court?
Mrs. Lin once again recalled the fate of the Regent and expressed her understanding of Xiao Yongyan's choice.
Thinking back to how glorious the regent was in the past, he was killed in the blink of an eye, leaving behind his only son, who is barely holding on until today.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you have food to eat, we will feel at ease." Mrs. Lin said.
The family had a great time chatting and finishing their meal.
But as parents, we are always worried about our children.
After knowing that Xiao Yongyan was going to open a school in the capital, Mrs. Lin became worried, as it seemed that there was no suitable place at home to open a school.
When Lin Xi learned about this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly found Mrs. Lin.
"Mom, this matter was already resolved before we came to the capital." Lin Xi said with a smile, "We also helped our current emperor."
Mrs. Lin finally understood what her daughter meant after Lin Xi's prompting. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said, "You kids, are you crazy?"
How could it be so easy to fight for power and profit? They have been secretly supporting it.
"I think you are crazy!" Mrs. Lin sighed.
Lin Xi quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't rush to blame me. Although this matter is risky, the benefits are high. Now we have won the bet!"
Mrs. Lin almost wanted to curse. It took a lot of effort to win the bet.
"Mom, anyway, we have already secured the land for the school, so you don't have to worry." Lin Xi said.
At this point, Mrs. Lin naturally couldn't say anything more.
The place that the Thirteenth Prince prepared for Xiao Yongyan was not some remote and shabby place, but the former Thirteenth Prince's Palace. He also specially arranged people to renovate it. Everyone in the court was shocked.
What followed was a reversal of the case for the Regent.
Xiao Yongyan, dressed in plain clothes, walked to the court and bitterly stated his grievances.
The emperor held a trial on the spot, cleared the regent of his grievances, and rebuilt his tomb.
At this point, Xiao Yongyan's only wish has been fulfilled.
The former Regent's Palace was returned to Xiao Yongyan, and Lin Xi moved directly into the new palace with her children.
As for the Lin family, Mrs. Lin knew that the two of them had few servants to serve them, so she specially bought a new batch of servants and sent them over.
Youlan stared at the people in the yard in a daze, and then she understood why Nanny Chang always said that there were too few people serving the Madam. There were dozens of people in this yard, all of whom were working for this mansion, and this did not include those who would be added later.
How much does it cost to support such a large family? Youlan couldn't help but count on her fingers.
At the same time, Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan's other identities were also deliberately publicized.
Xiao Yongyan is Mr. Shuer and Lin Xi is Mrs. Linglong. The couple, one talented and the other rich, are a match made in heaven.
Lin Xi's business made a lot of money, so he invested a huge amount in the school that Xiao Yongyan renovated, almost regardless of the cost.
Not to mention the external decoration, students who come to the school can receive a scholarship of one hundred taels of silver every year.
Moreover, the clothing for all seasons, as well as the writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, are all of medium to high quality and provided free of charge all year round.
There are people responsible for washing clothes, cooking and cleaning, and students in school only need to wash their own underwear.
What’s more, Linxi has built a single room for each student in an inhumane way, with an elegant environment and complete facilities.
Even students in the capital city wanted to apply for admission after learning about the luxury of Shuer Academy.
But the admission requirements are unified and one must pass the test. No one has the right to use the back door.
At this time, everyone realized why Xiao Yongyan was unwilling to be an official. His family was so rich, and being a teacher at home was better than anything else. He didn't have to take any responsibilities and lived a happy life. If he were in his place, he would not become an official either.
After Lin Xi revealed Madam Linglong's identity, it became much easier for him to do business, and he could simply handle many things himself.
In just a few years, Lin Xi's shops were spread all over the capital.
She also opened up a business channel from the capital to Lianggu County, and many things were transported from Lianggu County.
All the villagers who followed Lin Xi at the beginning made a fortune.
Wang Jing, who chose to stand by Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan, was highly regarded within the Wang family and was considered a strong candidate for the next generation head of the family.
From being forced to leave the capital to now being able to call the shots in the capital.
The journey has been difficult, but as long as the result is good, the hard work in between is nothing.
Lin Xi has already taken root in this world and has a lover and children.
Maybe death is not scary, it is just another beginning of life.
