In this era, there is a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, but from Lin Su's point of view, since they are all married into the family, the children born are the same, except that they have the same father but different mothers.
No matter what their parents are like, children inherit their bloodline, and there is no reason to say that one person's bloodline is inferior to another.
So Lin Su had no pressure in pulling Xiao Huang down.
Lin Su slept on the bed at night. He originally wanted to keep watch, but he didn't wake up until the next morning. When he opened his eyes, he met Chen Tang's gaze as he lay there and looked at him.
After a good night's rest, Chen Tang looked much better, with a warm look as if he had just come out of bed. He stared at people intently, which was very likely to trigger the secretion of hormones.
"It's rare to see you sleeping so soundly." Chen Tang shifted where he lay, "But were you tired yesterday?"
"Does the wound still hurt?" Lin Su woke up and stopped sleeping. He stood up and touched his back and asked.
"It's amazing! I was in excruciating pain yesterday, but today it's not that painful. Could it be that your medicine is so effective that it's already healed the scar?" Chen Tang wanted to touch his back, but gave up because of the difficulty. However, he remembered another very important thing. "Will your ointment leave scars? Will it leave those ugly scars?"
Although it is said that men are sometimes heroic when they are injured, but having such a long one on the body, like a centipede crawling all over the back, is okay for a day or two, but after a long time even he would feel sick of it.
Once you lose your appetite, how can you still be cute?
His mother tried so hard to maintain her youth and happiness because she understood the bad nature of men, and because he himself liked good-looking people.
"What if I say yes?" Lin Su found him cute when he saw his current appearance and couldn't help but want to tease him.
The peacock, which had just been brimming with sunshine and ready to spread its feathers at any moment, suddenly slumped down on the bed, as if battered by wind and rain, exuding an air of despair. "Madam, from now on, face me head-on..."
Lin Su couldn't help laughing, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I promise it will be the same as before after it recovers, and there will be no scars left."
The peacock loves beauty, but how can it flutter without tail feathers? Lin Su must ensure that his appearance is not damaged, so that both of them are happy.
Chen Tang's eyes lit up, and he tilted his head and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Lin Su stroked his chin and said, "Of course, if you go to the imperial physician for a checkup, perhaps you can leave some traces of your bravery."
"No, I don't want any marks of bravery. I want my wife to help me see them." Chen Tang felt much happier when she heard that there was no possibility of scarring. Even though she was injured, she tried to show off her charm. "What do you think of looking at your husband's back in the sunlight?"
"It feels quite like the pleasure of daytime indulgence." Lin Su lied with his eyes open, poking Shen Tang's waist where she couldn't see. "My husband has two dimples here, which is very cute."
Chen Tang was so itchy that he shivered all over, so he didn't dare to wave anymore. He patted Lin Su's leg and said, "Hurry up and apply the medicine. Don't make trouble in broad daylight and let others laugh at you."
Chen Tang's injuries healed very quickly. In order to deal with the outside world, he just said that he had only suffered flesh wounds and that's why he healed quickly. However, in order to avoid using the medicine jade again, Master Chen had to pretend to be in pain from time to time.
Yun Hui's injury did not heal as quickly as he should have. Because of the serious injury, he even asked for leave. He did not go back even when the Minister of War's Mansion came to pick him up, because he found that the threshold of the Minister of War's Mansion might not be able to stop Xiao Huang. While staying at the Shen's house, Xiao Huang never set foot inside.
If he didn't want to come, then it meant that he was afraid of something. The person he was afraid of was naturally not Chen Tang, so it could only be Lin Su.
When Yun Hui was able to go out, he was invited to sit in the flower pavilion and learned the whole story of the flower viewing banquet that day. Although Chen Tang knew that they were not fellow travelers, he did not want Yun Hui to really jump into the fire pit, so he explained everything clearly.
He even did not hide the fact that Xiao Huang had advised him to sacrifice his position as the principal wife for the greater cause.
He deliberately got injured to gain trust, wanted to kill him to silence him because he was discovered, and pulled him to be the one to take the blame when facing danger.
The revelation of these things did not cause Yun Hui to be greatly shocked, as if he had been prepared for the worst from the beginning.
"As for that knife, Lin Su was going for Xiao Huang, but he didn't expect to hurt you. I'm really sorry." Chen Tang felt a little scared and excited when he recalled the look on Lin Su's face when he was angry that day.
He didn't want to make his wife angry, but it was really pleasing to see his wife angry about him.
"It's okay. Taking the knife and identifying a person will save you from worrying about your life later." Yun Hui saw everything clearly at this moment. "But if we face Xiao Huang now, if he attacks, the Shen family may not be able to withstand it."
"The late emperor has more than one descendant, Xiao Huang. Don't worry." Lin Su didn't really join in their conversation, and only added a sentence or two at critical moments.
Yun Hui observed their conversations and behaviors, and it was no wonder that they were pretending at the flower viewing banquet. Although Chen Tang said that he was her husband, it was clearly Lin Su who was in charge between the two of them.
"No matter what, don't get yourself and your family involved." Yun Hui didn't plan to participate in the court struggles anymore. Compared to this endless power struggle, he wanted to leave the capital and do something practical. "If the worst comes to the worst, you can ask my grandfather for help."
"Okay." Chen Tang felt that he had probably let it go.
"We've known each other for many days, but I still don't know what Brother Lin's courtesy name is. It always feels a bit awkward to call him by his last name." Yun Hui asked.
After discussing official business, people feel much more relaxed when talking about personal matters.
Men usually address each other by their courtesy names and rarely call each other by their real names. Exchanging courtesy names is a very normal thing, but Yun Hui found that Chen Tang was looking at Lin Su inquiringly.
Yun Hui thought thoughtfully: "If it's inconvenient..."
"It's not inconvenient at all," Lin Su said with a smile, "My courtesy name is Yan Gui."
"It's you?!" Yun Hui stood up from his seat, then realized he had been rude and sat back down, bowing. "So it really is Brother Yan Gui. When I first saw you, I felt you had some of the same aura as the paintings in my collection, so I've always wanted to meet the artist. I never thought I was blinded by a single leaf and failed to recognize the real thing."
His expression was full of admiration, and Lin Su simply responded calmly: "Brother Ziyu, you are too kind. I still have some shortcomings."
"That painting embodies a vast ambition. It can only be created by someone who has traveled thousands of miles and has lofty aspirations. Brother Yan Gui is being modest." Yun Hui expressed his admiration. "If Brother Yan Gui had participated in this imperial examination, the title of top scholar might not have fallen into Zi Yu's hands, but..."
He suddenly thought of Lin Su's marriage, which was a little different from his ambition. However, asking so directly was extremely offensive. Yun Hui thought, "Brother Yan Gui, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"
