Chapter 140 Let your uncle see if your face has become rounder!
During the day, Rong pressed Lin step by step. Su Jianrong not only spoke for Rong, but also went to the extent of insulting Lin to protect his legitimate sister-in-law. Although Su Jianrong later helped him find a way out and said good things, Lin still hated him.
As soon as Rong left, Su Jianrong played the role of a loving father and a good husband for a while, then he couldn't wait to return to the house in the west of the city. He knew that Lin had a new lover, so he turned a blind eye and didn't even bother to hide it.
He couldn't swallow this humiliation, and didn't know what to do. He crumpled the handkerchief in his hand into a ball. After thinking it over, he finally sent his confidant to call Wei Liang into the mansion.
While waiting, she paced back and forth in the room, the small ruby pendant hanging on her ear swaying violently with her hurried steps.
As Wei Liang entered, his eyes were drawn to the dazzling earrings. Suddenly, he remembered the little girl wearing a pair of silver pendants from her ears a few nights ago. He had twisted her hands behind her back, and the silver pendants swung back and forth with his reckless thrusts. The sound of her wailing and the swaying silver light intertwined into a captivating fantasy, one that drew him in, unable to stop.
He couldn't help licking the corner of his lips, as if savoring the taste.
"What are you thinking about? Do you have any idea about what I just said?"
Lin's loud question startled Wei Liang back to his senses. He said impatiently, "What are you afraid of? Didn't Rong show the document? Didn't she say anything?"
In fact, he didn't hear what Lin said to him at all, but he knew Lin too well. He knew that she had been the only one in power in the Su Mansion for more than ten years. Suddenly, a lady who came specifically for her and was superior to her came, and she was a little unable to adapt.
"Whatever you want to do, once the coming-of-age ceremony is over and the Yuan family proposes marriage, this young lady will belong to the Yuan family from now on. You can still live comfortably in the Su Mansion as your Madam Su. Are you still worried that Rong Shi can't return to the capital and will keep an eye on you every day?"
Lin thought it made sense, but when she thought of Su Jianrong, whose heart had already flown to the west of the city, she felt that she could no longer stay in this mansion.
So, she took the initiative to approach Wei Liang, pleading, "Liang'er, why don't we take the two children and run away? We've already moved most of the money and the land deeds."
Then, she whispered in his ear, "You can't let them call you uncle all the time!"
How could Wei Liang agree to this? With someone raising his children, making money for him, and no one to supervise him every night, he could live a carefree life. How could he be so foolish as to agree to Lin's wishful thinking?
"Fen'er, I really want to live with you, but our Yuanbao has already begun to understand, so we should always consider him more."
"Think about it, Yandang Academy is renowned far and wide. If Yuanbao can get in, it's like he's already set foot on a career path. And as for the Yuan family, isn't the current Grand Secretary from the eldest branch of the Yuan family? Now that the eldest lady is back, aren't we the first to benefit? If we really took the children away, we might not have such a good opportunity for Yuanbao!"
As he spoke, Wei Liang stole a glance at Lin Meifen in his arms. Seeing that her expression had relaxed, no longer as solemn as before, he knew she had been persuaded, so he added, "We are no longer childless. We can't just think about our own happiness, we have to think more about them. And Fubao, you will also have to find a husband in the future. With an older sister who is a wife in the Yuan family, are you still worried about her not getting married?"
"If you ask me, the only thing you need to do right now is to please the young lady. Nothing else matters!"
When the mention of her and Wei Liang's twins, a boy and a girl, came up, Lin had no rebuttal. Wei Liang's words were perfectly reasonable; her affair with him was nothing compared to the future of her children.
Although she was convinced in her heart, she was unwilling to let Wei Liang off so easily. She leaned into his arms, snorted, and said, "Don't think I don't know. Have you been out teasing cats and dogs again these days?"
Seeing that Wei Liang seemed to want to quibble, she stretched out the tip of her bright red index finger and lightly touched his lips, preventing him from opening his mouth.
"Don't say you don't have it." She narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "These past two days, you've always had a faint scent of grass leaves on you, but I can't hide it from you."
After saying that, she leaned back into his arms and said in a soft voice, "I'm not a jealous woman. You and I have been together for so many years. Besides, I can't accompany you every night. Someone has to serve you, right?"
"My heart wasn't with Su Jianrong to begin with. Now he's settled in that house west of the city. Although I feel lonely, I'm happy with the quiet. But you!" As she spoke, she stood up from Wei Liang's arms again, her eyes and eyebrows flashing with charm, and she said with a hint of anger: "You have to remember, those cats and dogs are only for fun, but I won't allow anything else."
…
Su Ying was not afraid of Lin, but it was already night, and she was unsure why Lin had called her. After much consideration, she took Taoxi and followed the maid to Lin's residence.
But to her surprise, Wei Liang came out of Lin's house so late and bumped into her.
When Lin had Su Ying invited, Wei Liang was present. Knowing that Lin was a picky person, he had timed his departure so that he could meet the eldest daughter, Su Ying, face to face.
"I didn't get a chance to greet the young lady today, but now I finally meet her."
The figure and face of a young girl who is about to reach marriage age are more wonderful than those of a middle-aged woman. Although she cannot be said to have perfect curves, she is pure and lovely, making people want to taste her deliciousness.
"I guess the young lady has been living a comfortable life in the capital. In just a few months, she has become even more charming."
Perhaps it was the cover of darkness that made Wei Liang's words grow bolder and more reckless. Su Ying couldn't bear to listen any longer and was about to walk past him when a familiar, faint grassy scent reached her nose, startling her.
Wei Liang was delighted to see that Su Ying hadn't left but had stopped beside him. He then boldly reached out his hand towards her face and said, "Come, let your uncle see if your face has become rounder!"
Fortunately, Su Ying reacted quickly and dodged sideways, and Taoxi also stepped forward in time to block her behind him.
Su Ying didn't want to get entangled with Wei Liang, so she called Taoxi, took her hand and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Wei Liang didn't try to stop her. He slowly withdrew his hand and rubbed his chin. His eyes finally fell on Tao Xi's back, who was protecting Su Ying. He looked her up and down, muttering to himself with interest, "Tao Xi is a good name. It's much better than Cao Er Hua."
