Xiao Yao is now free from worries. She doesn't have to worry about her wedding dress, nor does she have to worry about the future. With the support of Prince Jing's Mansion, what else is there to worry about?
Grandfather and father have also gained freedom. They no longer have to worry about this and that, and are busy choosing grandsons and sons-in-law every day. Thinking about it this way, I really have to thank Yun Yichen for choosing me as the prince's consort. As long as he doesn't go too far, I will treat him with respect.
Lin You originally planned to rescue Xiao Yao and then live in the villa that his godson had just extorted from the emperor. However, after staying in the Xiao family for a few days, he didn't want to leave. Here he felt the family love that he had never experienced before, and the relaxed atmosphere that was hard to feel elsewhere.
There was a grape trellis downstairs in Yaoyuan, and under it was a specially made rocking chair. Xiao Yao loved reading there, and when she felt sleepy, she could take a nap in the rocking chair. When Lin You came, Xiao Yao was about to fall asleep again: "Your wife is turning into a pig, and you still want her?"
Xiao Yao struggled to open her eyes, and saw Yun Yichen standing opposite her, looking at her. She shifted uncomfortably. "I'm a patient, so it's normal for me to love sleeping. It's abnormal for you two grown men to see a little girl sleeping and not avoid her!" She didn't know how to face her fiancé anyway, so she decided to just continue sleeping.
This was the first time the two met after revealing their identities, and the little girl actually ignored him. Could it be that, as he thought, she was not satisfied with this marriage?
Lin You snatched the travel journal from Xiao Yao's arms, and stood up for his godson, saying dissatisfiedly, "You didn't stand up to greet your fiancé when you saw him. You should re-learn the Four Books for Women and copy it dozens of times every day."
It was because he came that she didn't know how to deal with it, so she pretended to sleep. After hearing what Lin Youyi said, Xiao Yao could no longer ignore Yun Yichen, so she had to prop herself up and wanted to get up to greet him.
"Ah!" Xiao Yao felt dizzy, her eyes went dark, and she fell to one side.
"Miss, are you okay?" Chu Xue quickly supported Xiao Yao, and Yun Yichen had to awkwardly retract his hand that was stretched out in the air.
Lin You came over to take Xiao Yao's pulse, glanced at Chu Xue and said nonchalantly: "The maid who has no sense should be driven away." Chu Xue looked at Yun Yichen timidly. She was just doing her duty to protect the young lady. Is this wrong?
Xiao Yao took the initiative to extend her hand to Lin You and asked jokingly, "I get dizzy when I'm provoked, and I also feel uncomfortable when people around me are bullied. Can you please be more careful with your words in the future?"
With a "pa" sound, Lin You slapped Xiao Yao on the back of the hand. He threatened people without considering the target and fabricated illness in front of the miracle doctor. He was asking for a beating!
Looking at her red hands, Xiao Yao said aggrievedly, "I'm really hurt this time. Hurry up and get the best ointment." After saying that, she raised her fingers and hooked them, her naughty look hadn't changed at all from when she was a child.
"My godson, what's your taste? There are so many girls like this out there who love to play rogue. Why are you so determined to fall for her?"
Yun Yichen felt a little embarrassed by what Lin You said. He wanted to leave, but he was reluctant to give up this rare opportunity to see Xiao Yao; if he didn't leave, he was afraid that Xiao Yao would say something even more outrageous.
Wait, Lin You actually asked Yun Yichen to call him godfather. Doesn't that mean I have to do the same... "Xiao Ping'an, don't pretend you didn't hear anything. I'm giving you a choice. Either change your words today or on the day of the wedding." Do you think you can get away with it by pretending you didn't hear anything? Yun Yichen was just a passing mention. You're the one who truly recognized him, and he's even more concerned about your daughter, who's still missing.
Xiao Yao stretched out her fair and tender hand and waved it in front of Lin You. Lin You and Yun Yichen didn't understand what she meant and looked at her together: "How can you recognize relatives without gifts? I'm not a greedy person, so I'll give you ten detoxification pills, ten health pills, ten thousand-year-old ginseng pills, ten..."
"Stop." If she kept going down to ten, she wouldn't be able to keep the jumpsuit she had paid for. And she discovered another of her shortcomings: she was a little money-grubber!
"It's not good for a girl to be too greedy for money. It will scare away her fiancé."
"Is that all you can say now?" Do you think I'll hold back because Yun Yichen is here? You're not ashamed to ask, so I'm ashamed to answer. As for Yun Yichen? I've scared him more than once or twice. If he wanted to run, he would have already run away.
Yun Yichen didn't want to see Xiao Yao being bullied by Lin You, so he stammered, "Bullying a girl... is not right. You should give... a gift to Junior Sister."
This guy is so scared of his wife before he even gets married, there's no hope for him: "I know you two are in cahoots, how about I leave and you two talk."
"I'd better leave on my own!" Staying here only to be teased by Lin You, Xiao Yao slipped away under the pretext of making tea for the two of them. As soon as she left, Xiao Jun came over and invited Yun Yichen to have tea together. Lin You teased him and Xiao Yao, saying they were twins, only knowing how to drink tea. If there was anything, they could just talk about it here! Why run away? It would be a waste of money and time.
The maid brought the tea and snacks and left. Knowing that his beloved would never show up again, Yun Yichen resumed his aloof demeanor, but asked Xiao Jun in a calm tone, "Fifth brother, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I will do my best to help."
"Tsk tsk!" Fifth brother, Lin You really couldn't understand Yun Yichen's actions. Ping'an didn't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all. What on earth did his friend's family see in her? Look at how much trouble Yun Yichen had to go through to get married. He felt so tired for him.
Xiao Jun rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Will you agree to any request I make?"
How could it be possible? Just like when he asked me to give up the little girl a while ago, I would never agree to it no matter what I said. Yun Yichen shook his head firmly. It was boring. Xiao Jun knew that he couldn't outsmart this brother-in-law, so he had to tell the truth: "I want to go to your Jingwang Mansion to be a guard, preferably guarding your two courtyards."
When Yun Yichen asked his uncle to be his bodyguard, he never thought that if the little girl saw her brother being exposed to the wind and rain outside the door every day, she would definitely make trouble with him.
In order to accompany his sister, he had to go to the palace to see the gate. Lin You couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa doesn't want to go to the palace on a certain errand."
"My grandfather met with Huang Changshi a few days ago and asked him if the palace still needed a Changshi?"
The old man really planned to work in the palace. Lin You was stunned, and Yun Yichen was a little collapsed. Who could tell him that he just wanted to find a wife, so was it necessary to bring his family along?
Lin You calmed down and asked, "My Lord, don't you have any ideas?"
Yun Yichen wanted to go up and shut Lin You's mouth. If his father-in-law wanted to get involved, he would go crazy.
Xiao Jun also knew that his family had gone too far, but who made him have only this one biological sister, and his grandfather couldn't leave her. Dad, he didn't rush to go to Prince Jing's Mansion, but... "My dad said he won't go to the palace to join in the fun."
Yun Yichen sighed deeply. His father-in-law was indeed sensible. If all the men in the Xiao family were like him, he would have much less to worry about. On the other hand, if they were all like the old man and his fifth uncle, he really didn't know how to deal with it. He had lived for almost twenty years and had never heard of a master or young master of a marquisate giving a married woman errands. Just thinking about that scene was so embarrassing.
Given the little girl's protective personality, she turned against him when he dared to let Xiao Jun go to the palace to be a guard. He finally got her married, but before they had a good relationship, they were already quarreling every day. So he couldn't accept anything his uncle Xiao Jun said.
The old man is just talking, who would really let him do anything!
Yun Yichen had just caught his breath when he heard Xiao Jun speak again: "My father said that he was the one who supervised the construction of the Royal Villa, so I can just go there and be a housekeeper."
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Yun Yichen comforted himself and said, "Don't take Xiao Jun's words seriously. Apart from him, the other two should just be talking. Even if it's just one of them, I can't agree to it! Is this a joke?"
Xiao Jun reacted quickly and quickly caught up with Yun Yichen, stopping him to ask for a promise. Yun Yichen thought to himself, if he could agree to it, he wouldn't have to worry so much about how to get rid of him!
"Fifth brother, go ask my mother-in-law and Junior Sister! If they both agree, I won't object."
If he could convince his family, why would he bother looking for him? Yun Yichen took advantage of his distraction to quickly escape, and decided not to come to his father-in-law's house again in the near future.
After watching the fun for nothing and teasing his godson and daughter-in-law, Lin You returned to his room satisfied.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Jun had no choice but to leave in frustration. He didn't understand why Yun Yichen refused his request. If he wanted to join the army, he had to start as a soldier. It didn't matter where he was a soldier. Entering Prince Jing's mansion and seeing his sister often was obviously a good thing, so why didn't he agree?
A few days later, on a full-moon night, heart-wrenching roars emanated from the inn where the Northern Jin envoys were staying. These roars lasted for most of the night. The imperial physicians were alerted, but they were reportedly unable to cure the wrath. Only near dawn did the roars subside.
The next day, Prince Huaiyang came to the palace to meet with the emperor, hoping to ask the emperor to order the genius doctor Lin You to examine Prince Qin. The person sent by the emperor to the Xiao family to find Lin You quickly returned to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the genius doctor Lin said that he lost a bet to Miss Xiao and could not leave the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion before the New Year, so he was unable to treat His Highness Prince Qin."
The emperor's mouth twitched. Lin You was also astonished. In order to avoid seeing Prince Qin, he even brought up Xiao Yao. Needless to say, this excuse was quite sufficient, even Prince Huaiyang was speechless. Although no one said it, everyone knew that Xiao Yao was in a coma because of Prince Qin. Would the people of Northern Jin have the nerve to ask the Xiao family for help?
Prince Huaiyang, whose face turned from pale to blue and then to the color of liver, was furious, but he still pleaded, "I believe the emperor would not want to see Prince Qin get into trouble in Tianyu! As long as you can persuade Divine Doctor Lin to treat Prince Qin, we will do our best to meet any conditions he has."
Lin You was clearly on the Xiao family's side. He had deliberately avoided treating Prince Qin. Since Prince Jing's Mansion and the Xiao family were relatives, the Emperor would naturally favor them. Even if he was angry or dissatisfied, he had to endure it. If anything happened to Prince Qin, he would have no way to explain himself.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict looked at the emperor and Prince Huaiyang, as if he had something unfinished to say.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" This matter also gave the emperor a headache.
"Divine Doctor Lin said he lost to Miss Xiao with a hundred loads of dowry. When he has prepared all the dowry, he can leave the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion."
