Lin Wanli was almost at the door, but stopped when he heard the words.
"Tell me, why is it inappropriate?"
He turned around and sat down on the chair opposite Lin Wuchen, ready to listen to what he had to say.
This son has always been prudent and careful in his actions, and he would never say anything without basis. If he said it was inappropriate, he must have his reasons.
Lin Wuchen lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously twiddling the abacus beside him. The beads tinkled, but he remained silent for a long time.
Lin Wanli waited for a long time, but Lin Wuchen didn't speak.
But the more this happens, the more it shows that something is wrong.
He thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Do you know anything about that girl Ah Ci? Did I misjudge her? Is she of bad character?"
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. If Ah Ci had bad character, the Third Brother wouldn't be able to help her in business all the time. He knew the Third Brother well. On the surface, he was gentle and easy to talk to, but in reality, he didn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.
Lin Wuchen was filled with bitterness, but he couldn't express it. He could only vaguely say, "I said it's not suitable, so it's not suitable. Father, forget it. After returning to Yunzhou, it's important to find a good marriage for Ziyu in Yunzhou Prefecture."
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. When Lin Wanli saw Lin Wuchen's expression, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"You...you like that girl?"
He had never thought about this before, but after thinking about it just now, many things suddenly became clear to him.
Recalling Lin Wuchen's previous attitude and tone towards Su Shunci, he also found that he had borrowed the Lin family's connections to help that girl with her business several times.
In the past, he thought that it was because the two families were relatives and he was so dedicated for his aunt's sake.
Today, it seems that he has clearly fallen in love.
Lin Wuchen did not feel embarrassed about being exposed, but rather felt a sense of relief.
"Now that Father knows, I won't hide it anymore. So, Father, do you think she's still suitable to marry Tzuyu?"
Lin Wanli glared at him and said, "Then she can't marry you. You haven't dealt with your own problems yet, so don't mess with other girls."
As if he suddenly thought of something, he continued, "You like her so much, but you won't let her get married? Wu Chen, you can't be so selfish. Since you can't marry her, you have to give her a good home."
Lin Wanli thought that Lin Wuchen said this because he couldn't stand Su Shunci's marriage proposal.
Lin Wuchen's face remained expressionless. "I know she can marry into another family, but not into the Lin family. Father doesn't want to cause a scandal in the family in the future, saying that my eldest uncle is coveting my younger brother's wife, right?"
He was joking, but his smile was a little sad.
When Lin Wanli heard him say this, he was so angry that he wanted to stand up and kick him twice.
Lin Wuchen added, "As for her marriage, don't worry about it, father. I will help her find a good marriage and let her marry in glory."
When he said this, Third Young Master Lin's eyes were extremely firm. He seemed to be making some earth-shattering oath to himself.
Lin Wanli suddenly felt distressed again, and softened his tone and asked, "No news from the Bai family yet? They haven't given us a clear answer as to what to do?"
Lin Wuchen shook his head. "Grandpa Bai is not in good health. I can't bring up this matter anymore. Let's wait a little longer."
Lin Wanli wanted to say something, but seeing his son's dejected expression, he stopped talking.
I felt regretful in my heart. It was such a good choice for daughter-in-law, what a pity.
But Wu Chen was right. With such thoughts in mind, Aci was not suitable to marry into the Lin family.
Lin Wuchen saw Lin Wanli's sad face and knew that his father was worried about him.
He didn't want his family to worry about him, so he jokingly asked, "Is Father still going to Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Lin Wanli gave him a look of displeasure and said, "My daughter-in-law is gone, so why would I go there?"
Lin Wuchen stood up and walked to Lin Wanli, "Father, please, let's have a couple of drinks."
The next day, Lin Wanyin hosted a farewell banquet for her brother at Prince Ning's mansion. Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu went together, bringing with them a lot of local specialties.
Until he left, Lin Wanli never mentioned the marriage again.
Lin Wanyin asked Lin Wanli privately, but Lin Wanli could only make excuses, saying that Lin Ziyu seemed to have someone in her heart, and he had to ask again.
After Bai Sulian found out, she felt regretful, but she couldn't bring it up anymore. She could only lament that the two of them were not destined to be together.
In the evening, someone from the Su family arrived at Prince Ning's mansion with a report that the second master and second mistress of the Su family had died after falling off a cliff at Yongquan Mountain, over a hundred miles from the capital. Su Fuyao, the sixth daughter of the Su family, had also died, apparently from a high fever.
In the evening, the people sent by Su Yuanzhou reported back that the child had died of illness when they took action.
Su Yuanzhou had a blank expression on his face and said nothing. He burned a lot of paper money in the garden alone at night.
The death of the second master of the Su family did not cause any commotion in the capital. The Su family did not hold a grand funeral, but simply buried the body in the ancestral tomb.
On the day of the burial of the second wife of the Su family, Madam Su woke up, but her speech was slurred and half of her body was unable to move.
Su Chengye moved directly to Songhe Hall, no longer caring about the affairs of the mansion, and devoted himself to serving the old lady.
In the blink of an eye, it was early July, and a lot of vegetables were delivered to the mansion from the farm outside Shenjia City.
Because Su Qingyu said last year that she liked the vegetables on the farm, Shen Zhixiu ordered that a lot more land be opened on the farm, all of which were irrigated with mountain spring water.
After the summer begins, various seasonal vegetables are delivered to the house every few days.
Maybe it’s because of the hot weather these days, but Su Qingyu doesn’t enjoy anything she eats.
Especially meat, I don’t want to eat a single bite.
That is, fresh vegetables, cooked in a bright green color, and you can eat a few chopsticks of them.
She ate little, and Shen Zhixiu was worried, so he asked the farm to send some fresh food.
It just so happened that lotus roots could be dug these few days, so the steward delivered two baskets of lotus roots to the mansion early in the morning.
Su Qingyu ordered the lotus roots to be packaged and sent to the Zhao, Song, Yang, and Su families. She also packed some and planned to deliver it to Prince Ning's mansion herself. Last year, she made glutinous rice lotus roots at the farm, and her fourth sister loved them very much.
The Shen family has no shortage of this thing, and they plant a lot of it in the house and on the farm.
She had been feeling unwell these past few days and had been lying in bed for two days, so she wanted to go out and relax.
As they were leaving, Feicui advised, "Madam, you should ask Mr. Zhou to take your pulse. I've noticed that you've looked a little haggard these past two days."
Su Qingyu shook her head and smiled, "I know my own body. It's just that the weather is hot, I can't eat, and I have a headache because of the heat."
Feicui couldn't persuade her, so she could only follow her carefully and take good care of her.
