"Where did you go? Why are you only just getting back?"
Shen Ajiao moved over to the side of the bed, patted the edge of the bed, and gestured for Lin Ruhai to sit down and speak.
Lin Ruhai got up, lit a candle, and sat on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, he noticed that the Buddhist prayer beads that Shen Ajiao had been wearing on her wrist for the past few days were gone.
Why aren't you wearing your Buddhist prayer beads anymore?
Shen Ajiao touched her empty wrist and laughed, "Maybe I lost it."
"You didn't go out, you probably just put it somewhere. Someone can help you look for it."
"Maybe, I'll look for it tomorrow."
Lin Ruhai didn't believe a word of it, but still nodded with a smile, "Well, if you really can't find it, I'll accompany you and Yu'er to choose another batch of jewelry tomorrow."
"If we're not satisfied, let's look at a few more."
"And you mentioned last time that there's a pastry shop that makes really good ones, let's go check it out."
Lin Ruhai talked on and on, while Shen Ajiao nodded in agreement.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy."
"good!"
Lin Ruhai... Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Lin Ruhai tucked Shen Ajiao in, blew out the candles, and then went to sleep as well.
The next day, Lin Daiyu discovered that her mistress had returned to her original appearance, and naturally she did not see the string of Buddhist beads.
After having lunch together, the three decided to go out for a stroll and relax.
Before they even stepped out of the Lin residence, they saw a carriage rushing towards them in the distance.
Upon seeing the sign on the carriage, Lin Ruhai decisively led Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu back to the Lin residence.
The two of them naturally saw who it was, and silently lowered their heads and retreated.
"Yu'er! Ru Hai! It's me, it's me!"
Lin Ruhai didn't stop walking. He glanced at the gatekeeper and quickly closed the gate.
The next second, a thud came from the doorway, "Ouch, ouch!"
"Grandma! Grandma!"
"Lord Lin, please wait for our old lady! She has fallen!"
Helpless, Lin Ruhai stopped and ordered someone to take Lin Daiyu away first.
Shen Ajiao didn't leave; her neck was stretched longer than that of a goose.
Lin Ruhai had no choice but to keep her.
"Hurry up and help your old lady up! What are you waiting for!" Lin Ruhai ordered the maids who were crying and shouting beside the still-lying Grandmother Jia.
[Waiting for the banquet to begin]
Who knew that Grandmother Jia had no intention of getting up at all? She simply sat up and took out her handkerchief to burst into tears in front of Lin Ruhai.
"Like the sea, like the sea, you've finally come out to see me! I'm so happy, sob sob..."
"I know my mother was wrong before, but I was forced into it!"
“What can an old woman like me do? The only thing I can do is protect my family, but... but they did so many things behind my back that are so unfair to you. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!”
"I'll accept whatever you want to do, but can you please stop refusing to see me?"
"You are also my beloved child, Ru Hai, I loved you too!"
"My heart is breaking if you don't see me. How can I face Min'er?"
Chen Ajiao? ??
Is this an attempt to appeal to Lin Ruhai's familial bonds?
[What a bastard, one thing after another gets worse.]
[Jia Min: Thanks for the invitation, but I won't be meeting you.]
[It's truly hypocritical. They wanted to profit from someone else's misfortune, but failed, and now they're crying. How can crying erase all the disgusting things they did in the past?]
If they hadn't run so fast, the grass on their graves would be three meters tall by now, believe it or not.
[Lin Ruhai, if you show any mercy, may your grave be covered in grass for five meters!]
Lin Ruhai: Let's leave the best feng shui locations to those who need them.
That five-meter-long patch of grass on the grave mound—is that a grave? It's just nutrients for the grass! The grass should thank me for my generosity.
Lin Ruhai touched his forehead. It's true what they say, you become like your wife; he's become just as irritable now.
Don't get angry, don't get angry, only by staying calm can you keep a clear head.
"Grandma, the ground is cold. Get up and talk."
Grandmother Jia asked, "Won't Ru Hai invite me in to talk?"
Lin Ruhai said, "It's better to clarify things at the door."
Tears streamed down Grandmother Jia's face again. "Are you resenting me? I knew it! I knew you resented me!"
Lin Ruhai, "Doesn't the old lady understand?"
Grandmother Jia paused, clutching her chest, "You child, you child, I'm so old, I have my reasons!"
"You want me to save her?"
Lin Ruhai smiled slightly. Madam Wang must have had a hard time these past two days. Even if it's not as serious as the rumors say, she still has some things to do.
If Jia Zheng were still alive, perhaps he could have made some connections, but now the Wang family can't extend their influence that far, since the Emperor's word is not easily fooled.
It seems that Grandmother Jia was also desperate and had nowhere else to turn, which is why she came to him.
But he didn't want that. Shouldn't some people be punished for making mistakes?
Grandmother Jia's eyes were red from crying. "Ruhai, that's Her Majesty's mother. What will Her Majesty do if something really happens to her?"
"Now that Her Majesty is pregnant, if she had a grandmother like this, she..."
"Madam, please be careful with your words. The Crown Prince's maternal family is the Marquis of Zhenguo. The other princes and princesses are naturally the same."
Grandmother Jia quickly changed her tune, "It's just that it doesn't look good on the surface, but it's not a big deal."
"What does the old lady consider a big deal? Disregard for human life? Arson, murder, and looting?"
Grandmother Jia nodded in agreement. "Isn't that right?"
Even if something like this happened in a family like theirs, it wouldn't be a big deal. It's just that there's no one in their family who can make decisions. But if Lin Ruhai is willing to help, it's naturally not a big deal.
