Chapter 136
Yuan Niang fell asleep after drinking the medicine.

The surrounding windows were closed tightly, and the strong smell of medicine and blood mixed in the house.

It feels very depressing.

Lin Pingan sat by the bed with Yuan Niang for a while, and then came to the courtyard to breathe.

It was noon at this time, the sun was shining outside, and the sky was as blue as washing.

Lin Ping'an was bathed in the sun, but his heart seemed to be in a cold pool, it was very cold.

"Lord Lin's condolences."

Wu An walked into the courtyard, came to Lin Ping'an and said.

"What else can I do besides mourning?"

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for helping me save Yuanniang." Lin Pingan bowed his hands and saluted.

"Master Lin is too polite. Although I rescued him for you, I couldn't keep the child without him."

"Looking at Mr. Lin's sad appearance, I feel very uncomfortable." Wu An said guiltily.

"Master Wu can help me save Yuanniang, I am already extremely grateful, as for this child."

"Maybe it has nothing to do with me." Lin Pingan said slowly.

"It's good that Mr. Lin can think about it." Wu An said.

Then he seemed a little puzzled, and asked:

"Isn't Mrs. Lin being too cruel to Mrs. Lin like this?"

When Lin Pingan heard the words, he didn't know what he thought of, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"My mother has always been like this to me." Lin Pingan said.

"The elder brother is talented and intelligent, and his mother taught him carefully and patiently cultivated him since he was a child."

"Always be in control of me."

Lin Pingan looked up at Wu An, smiled wryly and said:
"I'm not afraid of Master Wu's jokes when I say it."

"I'm a man in his teens, and I have to listen to my mother even when I take a concubine."

"Including where to work before, it was all discussed by my mother and elder brother."

"No one cares what I think."

"For so many years, my mother only has big brother in her eyes."

"But I can also understand. After all, my mediocre son is not as good as my elder brother who can make her look good."

Lin Pingan seems to have found someone to confide in.

All the grievances and boredom that had been suppressed in his heart for many years were all said out.

"Master Lin doesn't want to change his current situation?" Wu An asked.

"I want to, of course I want to." Lin Pingan said.

"It's just that I don't even have an errand now, so it's not easy to change."

After Lin Pingan finished speaking, he looked into the distance and sighed leisurely.

"I can help Mr. Lin recommend it, but..."

"I'm just afraid that no one will dare to use it." Wu An regretted.

When Lin Pingan heard that he could help introduce him, his face showed a bit of joy.

He asked anxiously, "Why would no one dare to use it? Could it be that I'm not capable enough?"

"Of course not, Mr. Lin's ability is obvious to all."

Wu An explained: "Master Lin, you are the younger brother of Lin Shangshu, and Lin Shangshu is on the regent's side."

"I said so, do you understand?" Wu An asked.

"It's no secret that there are gangs in the court. I obey the prime minister, and Lin Shangshu is the opposite."

"Even if I recommend you to the prime minister, the prime minister dare not use you." Wu An lamented.

"I understand Master Wu's meaning." Lin Ping'an thought for a moment, then said with great loss.

Could it be that he can only rely on his elder brother!
But several months have passed, and the eldest brother has no intention of finding a job for him.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Through the fact that Yuan Niang was taken away, he understood completely.

He needs rights!
Only if he has the power in his hands, the mother will not send Yuan Niang away so unscrupulously.

Only with power in his hands can he protect the people he wants to protect.

"What if I promise Ziyan and Mr. Wu's marriage?" Lin Pingan looked at Wu An and asked.

"Master Lin, you agree!"

Wu An seemed a little surprised, and the expression on his face was very pleasant.

"If Yu'er knew, she would be too happy to fall asleep." Wu An was very happy and said with a smile.

"Mr. Wu loves you very much." Lin Pingan said, "Ziyan is not in good health, and it is her honor that Mr. Wu has taken a fancy to her."

"Yu'er's mother left early, and his marriage has always been my heart disease."

"Now that I have finally settled down, I can let go of my heart."

Wu An smiled and said, "Master Lin, why don't you stay for lunch and have a few drinks with me?"

Lin Pingan thought that Yuan Niang was still asleep, and he happened to have something important to tell Wu An.

So he nodded without hesitation.

It was already time to eat, Wu An ordered to go down, and the food and drink were served after a while.

"Master Lin, please taste it, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine I brewed myself."

Wu An poured Lin Pingan a cup as if offering a treasure, and said.

Lin Pingan picked up the wine glass and sniffed it first.

"Fragrant." Immediately praised, "Master Wu is very skilled."

"Master Lin is absurd." Wu An said, "I'm busy on weekdays, so these are my hobbies."

The two drank, ate, and chatted wantonly.

The atmosphere during the banquet was very relaxed.

When he was about to be full of wine and meat, Lin Pingan saw that the time was almost up.

Slowly said: "When Ziyan and Mr. Wu get married, Mr. Wu and I will be considered a family."

Wu An's face was flushed, with drunkenness in his eyes, he said with a smile:

"Of course, they are all one family, one family."

"Come, come, be a family for us, have another drink."

Wu An stood up unsteadily, and filled Lin Pingan's empty cup again.

"Since Mr. Wu and I have become a family, Prime Minister Yao should feel at ease."

Lin Pingan put a fish ball in his bowl, and said casually.

"Alas." Wu An sighed softly upon hearing this.

As if he couldn't think of anything unhappy, he even put down the wine glass in his hand.

There was a bit of sadness on the face that was still full of smiles just now.

"Prime Minister Yao won't worry about Mr. Lin, I'm afraid that if the news of this marriage gets out, I won't even trust Yao Cheng." Wu An shook his head and said.

After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

"I've worked hard for half my life, and I'm afraid I'll lose all my credit in the future."

"But Yu'er is my only son, and I can't help it."

Wu Anyue said that the more upset he was, the more he drank several glasses of wine in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping'an's fingers holding the cup wall tightened instantly.

The veins on the back of the hand were tense.

He didn't expect things to turn out like this!
He thought that the prime minister would trust Wu An by looking at Wu An's face.

At that time, he will perform well and accumulate over time.

He can always wait until the day when Prime Minister Yao completely trusts him.

As a result, the current situation is that not only does he not gain the trust of the prime minister, but even Wu An has become useless.

He really lost his wife and lost his army!
Knowing this, he might as well not agree to this marriage.

Keep it in the future and find a rich family for Ziyan, maybe he can help him a little bit.

But the words have already been spoken, if he takes them back at this time, he might anger Wu An.

When Wu An targets him again, he will really have nowhere to go.

"Is there no way to get the best of both worlds?" Lin Pingan asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, there is, but I don't know if Mr. Lin can be ruthless." Wu An said while pouring wine.
