After the group of people left, the inn closed its doors again.
Danruo crawled out from under the table. She halfway realized that he was not looking for her, so she could only go with the flow.
She looked at everyone, smiled awkwardly, and then ran back to the house where she had just been placed.
Lin Mu looked at her back distressedly and murmured to himself:
"My sister is so pitiful. No wonder she said that there are many sisters in the family and they treat her badly.
The elder who can make the decision is not her biological mother, and she only cares about how much benefit I can bring to the family.
That madam just now looked very mean."
Lin Hancheng looked at Lin Zhantong and said, "Go buy her some comfortable men's clothes, and have a female doctor look after her. Let her rest tonight, and we'll go back to the capital together tomorrow."
Lin Zhantong was stunned: "The woman just now came from a brothel, should we take her with us?"
Lin Mu disagreed: "Uncle Lin, my sister didn't choose to live in a brothel. My sister is already miserable enough, why are you still so fussy about it? The head of the family doesn't care."
Lin Hancheng looked puzzled, but he did not refute Lin Mu's words.
I always feel that her personality is not something that can be cultivated in a brothel, but it is also possible that the madam deliberately indulges her for the sake of curiosity.
The big villain Lin Zhantong was full of grievances. Before, the head of the family's father frequented brothels and had long-term mistresses in various places. He gave birth to countless illegitimate children, which caused the head of the family's mother to have emotional fluctuations and difficult labor. Therefore, when the head of the family grew up, he hated brothels.
He just raised this question because since the head of the family is willing, then he has no reason to disagree.
On the second day, after Danruo changed into men's clothes, several people got on the carriage back to Beijing.
The inspection at the city gate suddenly became very strict. The officers and soldiers checked each person one by one with portraits, as if they were looking for someone.
Danruo saw a familiar guard, and knew that this was the person looking for him.
However, she had deliberately drawn her eyebrows thicker, painted her face darker, and even painted a black mole that morning, probably so that she wouldn't be able to recognize herself.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and seeing that they were all men, they were hastily let go.
Lin Hancheng felt something was wrong. Losing a courtesan was not worth making such a fuss. He frowned and looked at Lin Zhantong:
"Keep an eye on the developments here and tell me if you have any news."
Halfway through the journey, he received news that the imperial court was wanted for an assassin. The assassin was encountered in the palace, and it was said that Princess Rong'an was frightened.
Lin Hancheng understood. It was normal to investigate more strictly when catching an assassin outside the city. It was just that the princess had nothing to do with these merchants.
Danruo and Lin Mu were looking at the only notebook in the car.
As evening approached, the carriage stopped in front of the Lin Mansion. Lin Mu proudly introduced Dan Ruo, "This plaque was bestowed by the current emperor. Many dukes and earls have never had this honor."
Dan Ruo nodded and said that this plaque was worth two million taels. It was a reward from the emperor to the Lin family for the flood in the south a few years ago.
Now her father wanted to ask the Lin family for a large sum of money, but he didn't want to give them official titles, fearing that once they entered officialdom, with money paving the way, it would be even more difficult to control them.
Therefore, the Queen's suggestion to marry a princess would not only show the emperor's grace, but also not make him look disgraceful.
As you enter the courtyard, you will see a new scene with every step, and years of heritage are deeply imbued within.
When Mrs. Lin and Qin heard the report from the doorman, she had already brought people to wait at the gate of his courtyard.
When she saw her son whom she hadn't seen for half a year, Qin's tears immediately flowed out and she beat Lin Hancheng's chest:
"You must be thinking about killing your mother. You've been away for half a year."
Lin Hancheng stepped forward and helped Qin back to her room. He didn't say any affectionate words, but he was truly filial to Qin.
"Your son has written to you every two weeks and brought you many treasures. Please take a look at them later."
Qin laughed and scolded: "I have seen all kinds of treasures in this life. I just want you to have someone who understands your feelings and keeps you company."
After saying this, she pushed out the young maid who followed behind her and said, "This is a girl I asked someone to find for you. She is very compatible with you. Her name is Xiuxiu.
If you take her into your room, you will have a woman to look after you when you go out with her, unlike now when you are traveling with a bunch of men, young and old."
After saying that, she glanced with disdain at the three people following Lin Hancheng and saw a strange face, but she didn't go up to take a closer look. She was not interested in the man next to her son. She just wanted her son to have a woman.
Xiuxiu has a pair of almond-shaped eyes, a fair face, and a straight nose. She is also very beautiful. Especially today, she dressed up beautifully and saluted Lin Hancheng.
Lin Hancheng resisted: "Mom, it's inconvenient for me to have a woman here, please take her back."
Qin immediately burst into tears: "You are thirty-two years old, and you said you don't want to marry a wife because you are afraid of delaying your family, but I don't know how many girls in the capital have come to me openly or secretly to say that they want to marry you.
No one despises you for not being able to have children, but you are being pretentious. I won't force you to get married if you don't want to.
But you didn't even let your mother fulfill her wish by sending someone to take care of the family. Is your mother harming you?
If I had known that I would have a difficult birth, I would have died, so I wouldn’t have to worry about my son now at my age.”
She beat her son while crying.
Lin Hancheng was frightened by Qin's behavior. His mother had always been gentle and polite for so many years, how could she be so crazy now?
But he really didn't want to have a clingy woman following him every day.
He remembered that he didn't know how to place Danruo, whom he had brought back, and originally wanted to give her to Qin, but he was afraid that Qin would have a grudge against Danruo's brothel background. It was just right that he could solve his urgent problem now.
He pulled Dan Ruo in front of Qin Shi and said, "Mother, this is the girl I saved on the road this time."
Qin was suspicious, and Lin Hancheng put down Danruo's entangled hair and said, "Let her serve in my room from now on."
