Yu Lin'er replied, "I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go to the Linjia Village tourist area. The scenery there is beautiful, and I've been wanting to go for a while. My mother and aunt are both too busy to accompany me, so I thought I'd ask you."
The mere mention of Linjia Village brought to mind that beautiful figure. Perhaps he could run into her there. So he said, "Father is fine. Father also loves the scenery there. Let's go for a stroll."
When the two arrived at the market entrance of Linjia Village in their carriage, Yu Lin'er twisted her ankle and cried out as she got off:
"Ouch!"
"What's wrong?" Dong Xianghai asked, frowning.
Yu Lin'er half-squatted down, supporting her foot, and said, "Dad, I think I twisted my ankle when I got off the bus. It hurts terribly now, and I can't walk."
Dong Xianghai looked impatient: "How could you twist your ankle like that? If you can't walk, then go home. Since your father is here, take a walk around before you go back."
That's perfect for him to go find Anxin.
Yu Lin'er lowered her eyes and said, "Alright, then I'll go back first and won't stay with you, Father."
After Dong Xianghai left, Yu Lin'er raised her eyes, straightened up, and followed him. Her foot was perfectly fine.
As Dong Xianghai walked through the market, his eyes searched everywhere, hoping to see the person he longed to see. Suddenly, his small eyes lit up.
As soon as Song Anxin came out of a shop, she saw Dong Xianghai staring at her with a greasy look.
Well, I must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, and I stepped in poop.
"Mom, why did you stop? Let's go to the next place!" Song Mei said excitedly, linking arms with her mother.
She had finally finished her postpartum confinement and no longer had to stay in the yard, so she took advantage of the good weather today and used the excuse of buying New Year's goods to invite her mother to go to the market.
The market now has everything; you can buy most of the common New Year's goods there.
Song Mei was so engrossed in shopping that she was thinking about what to buy at the next shop that she didn't even notice the look of disgust on her mother's face.
Seeing Song Mei's enthusiastic expression, Song Anxin didn't want to spoil her mood. She ignored Dong Xianghai and went with Mei to the next shop.
Dong Xianghai, who was about to go up and say hello, stopped in his tracks when he saw Song Anxin's expression. He looked hurt, but he didn't give up and silently followed behind Song Anxin and her group.
Not far behind Dong Xianghai, a pair of eyes were fixed on him from a nearby vendor's stall.
Suddenly a man's voice rang out.
"Are you stalking your dad again?"
Yu Lin'er was startled and tried to cover his mouth again, but Lin Fengshou seemed to have anticipated this and grabbed her hand.
"It's you!"
Yu Lin'er was somewhat surprised to see the man in front of her.
Lin Fengshou stared at the girl in front of him, and the face of the person in his dream suddenly became clear, leaving him somewhat stunned.
He had come to deliver wine to Dafengweixuan, but as he came out, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and his feet unconsciously led him over. Fortunately, it really was her.
"Let me go!"
Yu Lin struggled.
Lin Fengshou then came to his senses and quickly let go of Yu Lin'er's hand. For some reason, he felt a little reluctant when her delicate and soft hand left his palm.
A blush crept onto his face, and he stammered, "You, your name is Yu Lin'er, right? My name is Lin Fengshou."
Yu Lin'er looked at him with some surprise and replied, "I know."
After saying that, he quickly walked away.
Thinking of continuing to follow Dong Xianghai, she discovered that he was no longer at the spot she had just been looking for. She quickly searched the streets, but couldn't find him anywhere.
"Damn it, where did they go?!"
Yu Lin'er was somewhat annoyed.
Lin Fengshou caught up and asked, "Are you following your father again? I didn't even have a chance to ask last time, why are you following him?"
Yu Lin'er ignored him and continued searching along the street.
Lin Fengshou continued, "Yu Lin'er, why aren't you replying to me? Have you encountered some difficulties? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
Yu Lin glanced at him, and then suddenly saw a fat figure walk out of a shop. She quickly pulled Lin Fengshou to a corner and the two of them peeked out.
Lin Fengshou looked at Dong Xianghai in front of him and said, "Why does your father seem to be acting suspiciously too?"
Yu Lin'er rolled her eyes at her: "Then look who's not far in front of my dad."
Lin Fengshou was reminded to look further away and then he noticed something amiss.
"It's my mother and sister-in-law," he said, increasingly suspicious, his face showing shock. "Your father is following my mother and sister-in-law!"
“And your mother has already found out,” Yu Lin’er calmly replied.
Song Anxin was extremely annoyed. Why was Dong Xianghai swarming around her like a fly? And since this was a public place in the market where anyone could stay, she couldn't say anything.
Sometimes she couldn't help but glare at him with disgust, and he would just smile at her, which made her feel really nauseous.
Song Mei seemed to sense her mother's impatience, and she asked, "Mother, are you tired from shopping? There's our Dafengwei Restaurant right ahead, why don't we go there and rest for a while?"
Song Anxin nodded: "Okay, Mother is a little hungry. Let's have some tea and snacks before we come back for another stroll."
At this moment, only milk tea could soothe her irritable emotions.
Once Anxin arrived at Dafengweixuan, she took Song Mei directly upstairs to a private room. Dong Xianghai, unable to see anyone, had no choice but to give up and stay in the lobby to drink tea.
Lin Fengshou and Yu Lin'er came out from the corner after watching them enter Dafengweixuan.
Lin Fengshou asked curiously, "My mother and your father seem to know each other. Why are they walking alone and the other following without saying a word?"
Yu Lin'er said, "Because your mother and my father were in love when they were young, my father still has feelings for your mother."
Lin Fengshou's face instantly contorted in shock: "Wh-what!"
He seemed to have heard that his mother had someone she liked who didn't want to marry his father. Could it be this person? The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became, looking as if he was about to lose his mother.
Seeing his reaction, Yu Lin'er quickly said, "Don't worry, my father is just being wishful. Your mother, now a fourth-rank lady, doesn't think much of my father."
She even felt a bit disgusted, she silently added in her mind.
Lin Fengshou breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Your father is married now. My mother would never do something like interfering in someone else's marriage." He then asked with some surprise, "How did you know all this?"
Yu Lin'er didn't intend to explain this to him. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "You are the second son of Consort Hui, right? Let me ask you, is it true that the rumors circulating in the streets say that your mother is kind-hearted, compassionate, and righteous, and that she cannot tolerate anything sordid?"
Lin Fengshou touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Ever since his mother led the people to sue the corrupt Magistrate Yan of Qi'an County, and invented the seed soaking method that enabled several villages to have a bumper harvest, his mother's status in the hearts of the people has become even higher. They often say that his mother is a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. As the story goes on, it has gradually become more and more outrageous.
