Chapter 90 She is Qing'er
"How can I see them?" Lin Yong wondered. He was just a mortal; how could he possibly see those things?
After asking, he not only didn't get an answer, but also aroused a lot of doubts, because Feng Qingge said that he had to go to the Third Madam's courtyard to do so.
Therefore, the three of them took advantage of the darkness and went to the backyard to find the Third Madam's courtyard.
"Third Young Master, what does this have to do with my Third Madam?" Lin Yong was quite puzzled. A few days ago, she had come to see his Third Madam about an investigation. Could it be that something had happened to his Third Madam? Thinking about this, Lin Yong became even more anxious.
"You'll see when you get there, but don't worry, Third Madam is fine, she's alright." She seemed to sense his thoughts and reassured him. But this Master Lin really cared about Third Madam; you wouldn't normally tell.
Lin Yong nodded, feeling much relieved; it was good that his wife was alright.
The three of them went to the backyard together and went directly to the Third Madam's courtyard. Under the cover of night, no one saw them or disturbed anyone.
"Knock knock".
As the knocking sounded, someone opened the door. The person was a maid, about the same age as the Third Madam, and was her personal maid.
Seeing the three people, the maid quickly invited them in and then closed the door behind her.
Upon entering the house, they found two people sitting in the living room, one adult and one child.
The older one was the third wife, and the younger one was a little girl who was quite cute. However, Lin Yong was very puzzled because he had never seen this child before.
"Madam, what is this?" Upon entering the room, Lin Yong found the two of them rather strange, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why. It was just that the child looked quite similar to him.
A sound came from the doorway. The two people inside turned around and saw it was them. The third wife quickly stood up, feeling somewhat flustered and unsure how to respond.
Then, she looked at her daughter's expectant expression, sighed, and said bluntly, "She is Qing'er, sir." She sighed again after saying that.
Over the years, she has never given birth to a child for the master. She was pregnant with Qing'er but had to abort the pregnancy. Yet, the master not only did not divorce her, but also treated her very well.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yong's heart skipped a beat. He quickly realized what was happening and strode forward to support the Third Madam's arm, saying, "Madam, you're confused. Qing'er... Qing'er is gone." At this moment, he thought the Third Madam was just deluding herself because she missed her son so much.
The third madam grabbed Lin Yong's arm and looked up at him. "Master, this really is Qing'er. Qing'er, quickly call her father." She then turned to look at the timid Lin Qing beside her and called her forward.
"Father." Lin Qing called out in a clear voice, a faint smile finally appearing on her little face, filled with excitement and joy.
Lin Yong looked left and right, completely bewildered, unsure whether he should respond.
The two people standing silently to the side also watched quietly. However, because Lin Yong was hesitating about whether to call him "father," he fell silent for a moment, which made Lin Qing think that her father disliked her and did not want to be her father. Therefore, her expression changed from anticipation and excitement to sadness and disappointment.
“Master Lin, this really is your daughter, Lin Qing. You’re right, your daughter is gone, so this is just her soul.” Finally, Feng Qingge couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke up to remind him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing lowered her head, a sense of inferiority rising in her heart. She was a soul, not a real person anymore.
Lin Yong was so surprised by Feng Qingge's words that he couldn't even speak. He just stared at the Third Madam with his mouth agape.
