"Just eat it, young master. I've been trying to lose weight lately." Ah Ling raised her sleeves to serve Lin Shuyan some rice.
"You're so thin, and you still need to lose weight." Lin Shuyan put half his arm around her waist.
Ah Ling prepared the meal for him and smiled gently, "In ancient times, there was a saying that 'the king of Chu liked thin waists, and many palace ladies starved to death'. Ah Ling has no family background, and no talent. The only basis for my survival in the world is my face and body. If I don't keep it well, I'm afraid that one day the young master will get tired of me and turn around to welcome a new sister, and I will have to go back to the world of prostitution to sell my smiles."
Lin Shuyan said nothing, and gave her half of the food in the bowl. "There's no one else, just eat as much as you want."
Ah Ling did not move her chopsticks, but instead gently stroked his face, "Young Master, you have lost weight since coming to Jiaozhou. Why did you go through all the trouble to be sent here? You have a better future in Beijing."
When the Lin family fought for the throne, they supported the prince. Lin Shuyan had a close relationship with the Crown Prince. When the crown prince ascended the throne, it was inevitable that the Lin family would be on good terms with him.
Lin Shuyan did not move A Leng's hand away, and looked at her tenderly, "Why did I go to Jiaozhou with all the trouble?" His ears turned slightly red.
Ah Ling lowered her eyes and pretended to be dull, "Ah Ling is a person of humble character, with limited knowledge, and I dare not guess what you are thinking."
"You." Lin Shuyan held Ah Ling's hand and motioned for her to eat. "Take care of yourself. We should have a baby soon."
"Ah?" Ah Ling opened her mouth slightly in shock. Lin Shuyan hasn't married yet, but he has a child with her first. Does this mean he will take her as a concubine in the future?
Will the eldest son of the Lin family allow it? Could his legitimate wife tolerate her, the mother of his eldest illegitimate son?
Although she was happy, she inquired, "Sir, are you going to favor your concubine and kill your wife?"
Lin Shuyan was calm and said, "I'm not engaged, so where does a wife come from?"
"It's never good to be the eldest son of a concubine." Ah Ling stammered.
"You haven't given birth yet, how do you know it's a bastard?" Lin Shuyan glanced at her belly.
If it’s not a concubine’s, then it must be a legitimate wife? Let her be the legal wife?
Ah Ling was afraid that she was thinking too much, so she asked tactfully, "Are you registering the child I gave birth to under the name of your legitimate wife?"
"I already said I don't have a wife." Lin Shuyan repeated, "If I want to marry a noble lady, I don't have to go to Jiaozhou to ask for permission."
The implication in the words is obvious.
Although Ah Ling had a premonition, she was still overwhelmed with emotion when she heard it with her own ears. She pretended to be calm, fearing that the young master would get carried away. "There is a huge difference between your and my status. Brother Yan, you are not trying to fool me, are you?" She stopped calling him young master and started calling him brother instead.
Lin Shuyan said seriously: "The Lin family is a century-old family. How could I joke with you about the issue of offspring?"
He made his plan clear, "In recent years, my father has been supporting the family, and we will have to go back in the future. You have a child, so I have more bargaining chips with the family."
Mentioning Chen Jie and Du Yaoyao, he felt a little embarrassed, "After a few years, when your cousin's and his wife's children grow up and our children are born, no one will care about the fact that you and your cousin's wife look alike."
"I also want to borrow your appearance to ask my cousin's mother to recognize you as her niece. To the outside world, you will be my cousin's cousin, and it will be more legitimate for you to marry into the Lin family."
Lin Shuyan remained silent, but had he actually thought of his future path? Ah Leng was surprised and happy, but also nervous, "Where is Prime Minister Chen?" Would the other party be willing to have a face similar to his wife appear in the Lin family?
"I'm responsible for everything." Lin Shuyan said. Chen Jie is not easy to talk to, Du Yaoyao is a kind-hearted person.
Ah Ling smiled as beautiful as a flower and took a big mouthful of rice.
She doesn't care if it's a substitute at the beginning, as long as she gets true love in the end.
A moment of acting, a lifetime of promise.
Ah Ling made a good deal.
