Chapter 137 The Sickly Villain in a Female-dominated World 8
Chen Xi has been busy studying and learning to read these days. Lin Qing's health has also been getting better with the fusion of his soul. Everything is moving in a good direction.
Seeing that her daughter was studying agricultural books recently, Lin Hengxin was a little surprised. After thinking about it, she sent a maid to the west courtyard to invite Shaojun.
Originally, Qing'er devoted herself to studying sage books, hoping to advance through the imperial examinations. Even A'mei, who was already an official, had high hopes for Qing'er, so she never thought of letting her inherit the family's properties.
But who would have thought that her daughter would fall seriously ill three years ago after passing the imperial examination. She secretly went to see a master, who wrote that "Hui Ji will surely suffer harm and may have no chance of pursuing a career in officialdom". From then on, she gave up the idea of her daughter taking the imperial examination.
I have only one daughter, and I don't expect her to bring honor to the family, but I just hope she can live safely and grow old.
But this time, when my daughter woke up, she seemed different from usual. Not only did she not continue to study those obscure ancient texts, but she started reading travelogues about customs and also studying agricultural books.
The summer harvest season is approaching, and the house will surely be very busy. Qinglang has to manage the nearby tenant farmers and welcome the upcoming Yong'er, so he may be unable to split time.
Unfortunately, I can barely read or write, so I can't be of much help.
Not knowing how she had given birth to such a smart queen, Lin Hengrong stared at the smoke hanging in the air, feeling secretly proud.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Lin Qing bowed and was immediately helped up.
Lin Qingrong felt a headache looking at his frail daughter. There was no need for family members to be bothered with these false formalities.
"Qing'er, I didn't ask you to come here for any other reason. You are the only female ruler in our family. All these properties in the family will eventually belong to you." She handed over a pile of account books. "I see that your health has recovered smoothly. Why don't you take these account books back and take a look at them first, so that you can help your father."
"Especially since our family owns several shops in the town, it would be difficult for your father, a husband, to deal with the shopkeepers."
Glancing at her daughter's expression, she pretended to be pitiful and said, "It's a pity that your mother didn't have a good daughter. She is always forced to deal with those extremely slippery managers..."
When she talked about the sad part, she couldn't help but sigh. At the beginning, there was indeed a corrupt manager who enriched himself, and her family's prosperous shop in the center of the street suffered losses for months. Fortunately, her in-laws were proficient in business, and the lady of the Tian family personally ordered people to tie up the disloyal servant, feed him a bowl of medicine, and then sell him.
It was at this time that Mr. Lin finally gained a firm foothold in the Lin family and began to take charge of everything at home.
But Lin Hengrong always felt sorry for her husband's hard work and even wanted to ask the servant to help. Since then, their relationship has become worse.
Well, it was mainly because of Mr. Lin's one-sided cold-heartedness. His wife was soft-hearted and unreliable, and his daughter looked like she might die at any time. Only the power that he could actually grasp could give him a sense of security.
Lin Qing was naturally willing to do so, as she was idle and had nothing to do. After taking the account book, she said that she would first understand the family's business situation. If the doctor allowed, she would also like to go out and check on their family's land situation.
At this point, Lin Hengrong suddenly remembered something: "Qing'er, seeing that you are getting better, when do you plan to take your husband to visit the Chen family?"
Lin Qing was stunned. She had read a lot of books about Yunchao customs in the past few days. Here, a husband would bring his wife back home seven days after getting married, which was a bit similar to the return visit to the parents' home in the previous world.
"We should indeed pay a visit to the Chen family." She nodded, then said goodbye to Lin's mother while holding the account book and headed straight for the East Courtyard.
"I've been so busy lately that I forgot about this. I really shouldn't have done that." Mrs. Lin smiled bitterly, "Your mother was the same. She didn't remind me. But can you withstand the bumps of the ox cart now?"
Thinking of his daughter's health, his heart tightened again.
"Father, I'm not seriously ill anymore, and Doctor Li told me to take good care of myself. But it's really rude of us not bringing Xilang back home for such a long time."
Mr. Lin's smile froze, and he carefully looked at his daughter's expression. He felt less awkward when he was sure that his daughter was just observing the etiquette of husband and wife and not the feelings of husband and wife.
"In that case, let's wait until the doctor takes your pulse tomorrow."
She made the final decision.
On the way back to the room, Lin Qing carefully pondered Lin's father's psychology. He was really afraid that their relationship was not good, but also afraid that their relationship was too good.
I didn't expect that this time I would encounter an eternally unsolved problem - the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem.
There are several emerald green peach trees planted in the courtyard outside the corridor, and they are full of green hairy peaches. The midsummer sunlight is a bit hot, and bursts of noisy cicada chirping can be heard from between the branches and leaves of the peach trees.
She laughed dumbly. It was a novel experience for her to balance the relationship between her father and husband as a queen in this world.
However, perhaps this is the meaning of her continuous new journeys, seeing different landscapes, experiencing different lives, and beginning to mature through the meetings and farewells with countless people.
"Well, now that I think about it, 003, we two are true love. You're the only one who has stayed by my side all this time." She suddenly teased the system in her mind.
"Beep - host, please respect yourself." The system that was detecting the fluctuations of the host's soul did not have time to be happy about the sudden increase in soul value before the electric current was stimulated by these disgusting words.
"According to the Federation's regulations, the system is prohibited from forming special bonds with the host. Different species cannot love each other."
Eh, there is a situation, Lin Qing raised his eyebrows with interest, behind every outrageous rule there is an absurd real event.
"Has a host and a system ever fallen in love?"
003 said coldly, "Host, please focus on completing your mission. Knowing too much may not be a good thing."
"Didn't you say that the original owner of this world had no wishes, 003?"
003: “…………”
"Then please enjoy your vacation with peace of mind, the next world may not bring you such good luck."
From then on, no matter how Lin Qing teased 003, it would not speak again. The servant of the Lin residence found that their young master had a faint smile on his face all the way and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Before Chen Xi could even breathe a sigh of relief after finishing a day of classes, he was told by the maid beside his husband to get ready, as he would be going back to the Chen family with the queen the next day.
!!!
Chen Xi was so excited that his mind was dazed, and he stared at the maid in front of him motionlessly. Seeing this, Xiao He quickly pushed his master gently, saying that he must not lose control at the critical moment.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the maid bowed and left the room. She felt that her husband might have overthought it. Judging from the silly look on her husband's face just now, how could he have the mind to pester the lady?
Thinking of this, she returned to the main courtyard and reported the truth.
