Chapter 163 2 Uncle Inherited the Marquis Position

Wen Lin thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said softly: "My mother never thought of asking for a title for herself, not to mention my father has passed away. , allow me to still honor my mother."

"That's natural, I won't let you recognize your mother." Lin Huaiyue said: "Mrs. Wen has worked so hard to raise you so much, if you deny your mother just to please us, then everyone will look down on you!"

Wen Lin's face was extremely red, and Lin Xingwei felt bad for him.

The recognition of relatives this time was not as joyful as imagined, it must be a kind of humiliation for Wen Lin.

Although he is the son of the Lin family, there are so many conditions attached to his acknowledgment of his ancestor and his return to the clan, and he still has to declare that he is the adopted son. I don't know if he has any regrets at this moment.

If it were Lin Xingwei, she probably wouldn't ask to recognize her ancestors.

In the past, his status as an illegitimate child made him so cold-eyed. After finally studying and becoming an official, with fame and status, he has said goodbye to the past, so he can't let himself repeat the same mistakes.

The Qingsong hall is full of Wen Lin's blood relatives, but they have no relationship with Wen Lin, and no one loves him like his mother.

He seemed to be making a deal with everyone, which made people feel humiliated, even Lin Tingyu and Lin Chengan, who had been stalking him before, cast strange glances at this moment.

Wen Lin's fists were clenched tightly. He seemed to be whipped naked in front of everyone. For the first time, he felt regretful for his obsession.

Suddenly looking up at Lin Xingwei's smiling face, Wen Lin's tightly clenched fists loosened again.

Mrs. Lin handed the jade pendant to Wen Lin, and said with tears in her eyes: "Since this jade pendant is a token from your father to your mother, you can hold it by yourself, since you have never seen your father's face, this thing can also be kept. A thought."

Mrs. Hou said calmly: "Since the death of the Marquis, the second uncle has always been the head of the family, taking care of our orphans and widows. Tomorrow, I will go to your Majesty and let my second uncle Lin Huaifeng inherit the Marquis of Nanyang. In this way, even if I remarry in the future, it will not matter." I feel sorry for the Lin family."

Mrs. Zhen laughed, Lin Huaifeng frowned, and he said: "No, I just said in front of Mrs. Su that I don't covet the position of Marquis. Now my eldest sister-in-law let me inherit it. Isn't it slapping myself in the face?"

"Now that you have an adopted son, why don't you call Mr. Wen to inherit it?"

Madam Hou glanced at Wen Lin coldly, and said, "As Shilang Wen is the adopted son, how can he be the head of the Lin family? If the second uncle is unwilling, then let General Wei marry in and let him inherit the Marquis."

As soon as this remark came out, Lin Xingwei panicked first, and hurriedly said: "How can you let General Wei marry? Doesn't this make the government and the public laugh at him?"

Wei Mingji smiled softly, and said softly: "As long as the princess doesn't laugh at me, what's the point of asking me to be married? What's more, it's something that Lord Hou is so flattering about."

When it came to the matter of interests, Mr. Lin stopped crying, and said clearly and urgently: "How can a son-in-law be the head of the Lin family? Huaifeng, you don't want to refuse. The Su family has always said that the Marquis of Huaishan was bestowed by the late emperor for the sake of face. , Huaishan is gone, you have become the head of the family and have taken care of the eldest sister-in-law for many years, you deserve to be the Marquis."

Mrs. Zhen coughed lightly, and said: "It's good for our second wife to inherit the Marquis, but Mrs. Su also said that if the eldest sister-in-law remarries, the Marquis will take it back, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Madam Hou's eyes sank, she took a sip of the hot soup, and said slowly: "I haven't remarried yet, I'll go to Shushu to try, if the court approves, it doesn't matter what my brother says, if the court refuses , Second Uncle just pretend there is no such thing."

Lin Huaifeng sighed, and said, "Then listen to my sister-in-law."

Taigong Lin said anxiously: "The eldest daughter-in-law should hurry up and write the memorial, and report it to the Holy Majesty as soon as possible."

Mrs. Lin glared at the impatient Mrs. Lin, and cursed: "Be more careful, the eldest daughter-in-law knows how to do it!"

Madam Hou drank the hot soup in the cup slowly, and then said: "That's all I leave for everyone to talk about. If you have no objections, you can follow the agreement."

There are no more objections, and Mrs. Hou has explained everything that should be explained.

The old couple of the Lin family were helped down by their two grandsons, and everyone dispersed.

Mrs. Pei followed Mrs. Hou to the back hall, Lin Xingwei sent Wei Mingji and Wen Lin out of the door, Wen Lin boarded the carriage with a sad expression, and his attendant Ah You called him, but he didn't hear him, as if he had lost his soul.

Before getting on the horse, Wei Mingji kissed Lin Xingwei, scaring the guards at the gate of the Hou Mansion to turn their backs.

Wei Mingji said softly: "I was in a hurry to call me over, I thought I was going to discuss your and my affairs, but it turned out that it was all other people's affairs that I heard all morning, I didn't even say a few words to you, or You can walk with me."

Lin Xingwei blinked his bright eyes, and said: "Why is this someone else's business? This is all my family's business. The general is about to become the son-in-law of the Lin family. Shouldn't you come and listen?"

Wei Mingji hugged Lin Xingwei into his arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "But I just want to hear about you and me..."

Lin Xingwei was tickled by his blowing, so he couldn't help shrinking back, and said in a low voice: "Don't you know everything about me, what do you want me to tell you?"

Wei Mingji let her go, threw the reins to Bao Shang behind him, took Lin Xingwei's tender little hand and walked forward, and said softly: "You can talk about anything, I'm always busy, I can't see you all the time, It’s hard to see each other, and there’s always something I want to say to you.”

"But when I came to you, I didn't know what to say. Let me talk to you instead."

Lin Xingwei thought for a while, and asked his doubts, "The general doesn't seem to like my brother, did he offend you?"

"You mean Wen Lin?"

Lin Xing nodded slightly.

Wei Mingji said lightly: "I just don't like that he is too utilitarian. Do you know where Madam Hou asked Taifu Su to investigate the content?"

Lin Xing shook his head slightly.

"Wen Lin deliberately arranged it. He knew Taifu Su's investigation of his details early in the morning, so he secretly guided Taifu Su step by step, so that Taifu Su's investigation went very smoothly."

"Think about it, the Marquis of Nanyang and Mrs. Wen happened 20 years ago. The old people were scattered and withered. It was so difficult to find out. Taifu Su made a detailed investigation within a month, and it was almost a coincidence. Is this a coincidence? ?"

Wei Mingji said again: "I also learned about Wen Lin's life experience following Taifu Su's footsteps."

"Wen Lin originally thought that Mrs. Hou would take the initiative to ask him to bring up the matter when she found out about his life experience, and he would be able to introduce his own life experience to everyone in a logical manner. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou would not mention it."

"That's why he took the initiative to ask you to clarify his life experience. He also thought that you would reveal his affairs to his family, but you didn't mention it. Wen Lin waited for three years."

"However, it was he himself who said don't let me talk about it, and I took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to recognize his ancestors, and I could help him, but he himself said no, so I didn't mention it to my family." Lin Xingwei frowned. Frown, puzzled.
