Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 176

Later, Lin Hao's father, Lin Hao, returned to the Princess Mansion, and he went to Lin Ying alone and told her about Xu Ji and Li in detail.In fact, Lin Hao has already arranged everything properly, and he just needs to go to the Xu family to complete the last few steps tomorrow.Like the youngest son, Lin Hao cared about the problems of the two children.

If Xu Nianxi or Xu Yun wanted to go back to Xu's house, Lin Hao would not stop or force them to stay. Even if Lin Yu wanted the child to stay, he would choose to persuade instead of following Lin Yu's wishes.If the children want to follow Lin Yu, he will naturally help the two children. The granddaughter is about to reach the age of marriage, and he will help bring out the younger grandson in the future, so it will not delay his daughter too much.

It's just that he can't ask the two children what their opinions are on this matter. He can't say some things, so he can only let Lin Yu handle it by himself.Lin Hao told his daughter all the plans in his heart, and the meaning was very clear, that is, he hoped that she and Xu Ji could find a good family again in the future.

Now Lin Yu can be said to trust and rely on her father wholeheartedly. She has no objection to what her father said, and patiently listened to it and kept it in her heart, so she said to her father, "I will go to Sister Xi in a while. Ask Brother Yun, since father said so, I can only listen to it. It’s just that there are some things that cannot be forced, let’s just let it happen.”

"Since you say that, you should also be clear that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. No matter what the two children say later, you should respect it. It is also a good thing for yourself." Lin Hao sighed again and waved his hands Let Lin Yu go to work first.

Lin Yu went back to the South Garden to see her youngest son first. Xu Yun was younger and always went to bed early, so she first asked the nanny to tell Xu Nianxi that she would go to her and let her rest later. , went to Xu Yun's room first.Xu Yun just took a bath, and was letting the maid wipe his hair with a dry cloth. When he saw Lin Yu coming, he stopped the maid's movements and walked towards his mother with a smile.

"Mother, why are you here at this time?" Xu Yun's smile was pure and flawless, and he looked at Lin Concubine with a pair of eyes that did not know much about the world, and was really happy that Lin Concubine came to see him.

Seeing her son like this, Lin Yu felt soft in her heart. She stroked his still wet hair and pressed Xu Yun to sit down again, took the dry cloth from the servant girl's hand, and dismissed all the people on the left and right. go down.In the past, Lin Yu always worked hard on the affairs of Xu's family, even though she was still close to her son, it was far from close.

Thinking in her heart that she has never spoken to her son like this in the past, and thinking that it is always the son and not the daughter, Lin Yu continued to wipe his son's hair with a dry cloth while feeling emotional.

"Mother came to see you, have you had dinner yet?"

"I've eaten it. I have black-bone chicken soup for dinner today. It's delicious." Xu Yun said with a smile, not feeling anything wrong with his mother's mood.

Lin Yu also had a smile on her face, her movements became softer, and she asked Xu Yun, "Brother Yun, are you still used to living in this princess mansion? Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"

"The Princess Mansion is very good. My son has nothing he is not used to, nor does he feel uncomfortable."

Xu Yun recalled what his elder sister had said to him, and it was not against his will, but it was not completely sincere in answering Lin Yu like this.

Even with Xu Yun's answer, Lin Yu was still a little entangled and uneasy if he really wanted to tell his purpose today and ask Xu Yun what he thought.She hesitated a little, but after hesitating for a while, she asked the most important question.

"If you will live in the Princess Mansion from now on, stay in the capital, and don't go back to Xu's house or Fuyang, would Brother Yun be willing?"

When Xu Yun first heard such words, he couldn't immediately understand what was going on.Even if he felt that something was wrong between his mother and father, he thought it was strange why his father hadn't appeared at all except for the visit of his grandparents for so long, but he never thought about it.

Xu Yun, who was stunned for a while, gradually understood what his mother's words were referring to.He was in a daze wondering what exactly happened, he lowered his head thinking, and kept silent.Seeing Xu Yun's appearance, Lin Yu felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. Even if she thought that her younger son might not be able to accept it, she just thought about it, but now she is facing such a reality.

"Mother, don't you want Daddy?" Xu Yun was silent for a long time before he asked Lin Yu who was standing behind him in a low voice, but he still didn't raise his head.

Following Xu Yun's silence, Lin Yu also stopped wiping Xu Yun's hair with her hands. When she heard Xu Yun's question, she was stunned, and then recovered and continued to wipe Xu Yun's hair. Fang Fang immediately told Xu Yun the unquestionable answer.She speeded up the movement of her hands to dry Xu Yun's hair a little, and then couldn't help but slow down until she stopped again.

Silence spread in the room, and Lin Yu began to feel that she didn't know how to face Xu Yun.Of course she knows that this is not a good thing for the child... Of course she also knows that the child probably doesn't want to see his father and mother get into this kind of trouble, but she has nothing to do, what can she do...

Lin Yu put her hand on Xu Yun's shoulder. She wanted to explain something to her son, but she couldn't explain it.In fact, these days, while she felt that what she did was completely right, she also felt that she was really sorry for the two children.She felt that she should leave Xu Ji without a doubt, and also felt that maybe if she had to be patient, at least the children would not be affected in any way.

"Your father, he..." Lin Yu mumbled to Xu Yun, but she couldn't decide whether she should say these words to the children and let them know such bad things.

Just when Lin Concubine hesitated again, Xu Yun spoke to Lin Concubine, still in a low voice, and asked her, "Daddy treats Auntie well, and Mother doesn't like it anymore, does she?"

"No, that's not the problem." Hearing his son speak in such a low voice, Lin Yu felt the urge to cry, "Your father treats your aunt well or not, mother can bear it, but what mother can't bear is..." Lin Yu After all, he still couldn't speak, but his voice was choked with sobs.

Xu Yun turned around, raised his head and looked at Lin Yu quietly with his still innocent eyes open.Lin Yu looked down at him, suppressed the tears in her eyes and said to Xu Yun, "In the future, when Brother Yun gets married, as long as Brother Yun's daughter-in-law treats Brother Yun well, Brother Yun must also treat his wife well." , you can’t hit her, you can’t scold her, you have to treat her well, you know?” It made people feel choked up more and more.

Xu Yun, who half understood, still looked at Lin Yu without blinking his eyes, and seemed to understand something, nodded to Lin Ying, with a trace of panic on his face, I don't know what he was thinking of .He nodded and then looked away. He didn't know where he was looking, and then he concentrated on thinking about something.

"Mother," a moment later, Xu Yun called Lin Yu, but her voice was no longer low. Lin Lin looked at him, stretched out her hand to rub his hair, and Xu Yun continued, "If Brother Yun Follow daddy back to Fuyang, will we still see mother in the future?"

Lin Yu was startled, and the tears that she tried her best to suppress rolled down from her eyes immediately.She already knew the answer her youngest son gave, but she didn't want to deceive him, so she kept nodding at Xu Yun. "Yes, as long as Brother Yun is willing to see mother, he will definitely be able to."

Xu Yun laughed, and he stood up. He was not very tall and had to stand on tiptoes to touch Lin Yu's face.Xu Yun wiped away tears for his mother, and comforted his mother in turn, saying, "When brother Yun comes to the capital to take part in the examination and wins the first prize, I will be able to see my mother often again."

Hearing these words and looking at her son's expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but hugged him in her arms, and asked him repeatedly, "Brother Yun, won't you stay? Don't you stay by Mother's side?" ? Are you really not going to stay?"

After crying bitterly for a while, Lin Yu came to her senses and realized that she shouldn't have lost her composure in front of her son. She thought for a moment that she had somehow lost her composure in front of her younger son. She came out of Xu Yun's room and went to her daughter Xu Nianxi. There.

Because Lin Yu asked the nanny to come over first to deliver the message, Xu Nianxi hadn't rested yet, and was just embroidering by candlelight while waiting for her mother to come over.Lin Yu, who had cried a lot, relieved a lot of the depression in her heart, but the guilt for the child in her heart was deeper. Xu Yun was no longer willing to stay here. She hoped that Xu Nianxi could stay. also good.

When Xu Nianxi heard the maid outside saying that her mother was coming, she stopped what she was doing, looked at her with a smile on her face, and called out sweetly.Lin Concubine walked to the edge, took a look at the embroidery work that Lin Concubine was doing, then tried to laugh and praised Xu Nianxi, and sat down on the couch at the same time.

She waved her hand slightly, and the maids who were serving in the room all retreated outside.Xu Nianxi is different from Xu Yun, she knows why her mother came here, and also knows what she will probably hear from her mother, and she has already made her own choice in her heart.

Even though she could see everything clearly in her heart, Xu Nianxi didn't show it at all on her face.When Lin Yu sat down and the two got closer, she realized that her mother seemed to have cried, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with mother? Why doesn't she look so good? It seems like... ...Crying?" She said the last sentence with extra hesitation.

Lin Yu sighed and was noticed by her daughter at once, but she didn't explain, she just said, "When I came here, the sand was blinding my eyes, and now I'm fine. I got up earlier today than usual, maybe I was a little tired and my face turned pale. That's great, don't worry." In the end, I felt ironed because of my daughter's carefulness.

"Mother, I want to ask you something." Knowing that her daughter is more sensible, Lin Yu is not as tactful as she is when she talks to her son, but rather more direct.

Xu Nianxi blinked and looked at her mother, completely wondering what was going on and waiting for her to say it, but she didn't rush her.

I have already confessed to my son first, and now it is relatively easy for Lin Yu to speak out when facing her daughter. She is not as hesitant and entangled as before. Nian Xi said it again.

After hearing what her mother said, Xu Nianxi wasn't surprised at all, but she was completely surprised on the face, as if she couldn't accept it.Her delicate brows were frowned, and she asked her mother nervously, "Really? Why? What happened? Why did mother... suddenly say such words..."

Lin Yu smiled softly and helplessly at her daughter, and looked at her daughter carefully, but she didn't panic much anymore.Under Xu Nianxi's repeated questioning, she only said to her, "Mother thought about it for a long time and a lot, and finally made such a decision. It's not a sudden decision. Sister Xi is also 13 years old. Now, it's almost time to see each other and see the marriage."

When Xu Nianxi heard her mother mention her marriage, two clouds immediately flew over her face, and she blamed her mother, "Why did you mention this?" She quickly changed the subject and asked her mother Asked personally, "Mother and father will be separated in the future? Then what about my brother and I? I don't want to part with father, and I don't want to be separated from mother..."

Hearing her daughter mentioning her youngest son, Lin Yu was still melancholy in her heart after all, she lowered her eyes and sighed, "Brother Yun plans to follow your father back to Fuyang, it's useless for mother to persuade him." She raised her eyes to look at her daughter again, He also reached out to touch Xu Nianxi's head who was so surprised, thinking of giving her some comfort.

"Mother is also reluctant to part with Sister Xi and Brother Yun, but Mother will respect your wishes. Brother Yun wants to follow your father no matter what, since Mother can't persuade him, she will go with him. Mother come here now , I also asked Sister Xi what she meant, Nianxi, do you want to follow mother, or do you want to go back to Fuyang with your father and grandparents like Brother Yun?"

Xu Nianxi was completely shocked by what her mother said that her younger brother would go back to Fuyang with her father. She had clearly agreed with her younger brother to stay in the Princess Mansion together, but now Xu Yun actually said that she would follow her father. Back in Fuyang, Xu Nianxi felt that there was no way to accept it.

She was stunned by Lin Yu's words. Even after hearing what her mother said behind her, Xu Nianxi didn't respond at all.She stood up abruptly, still looking shocked, turned her head and said to her mother, "I'll go to my brother and ask what's going on." She rushed out of the room regardless of Lin Yu's obstruction.

Lin Yu said that stopping Xu Nianxi didn't really want to stop her. After all, she still had two or three thoughts in her heart, hoping that Xu Yun could change her mind and stay.Lin Yu also wanted to persuade Xu Nianxi, who could not be her elder sister, and her son changed his mind, so naturally he let Xu Nianxi pass by.

Xu Nianxi only felt that she was completely betrayed by Xu Yun. If Xu Yun wanted to go back to Fuyang, what would people say about her staying alone?To say that she is just greedy for a good life by Mother's side?Said that she betrayed her father and her ancestors?Xu Nianxi rushed into Xu Yun's room almost angrily.

Not long after Lin Yu left, Xu Yun hadn't rested yet, and was sitting on the couch reading a book.Xu Nianxi rushed to Xu Yun's side and snatched the booklet from his hand, feeling so angry that he felt uncomfortable.Several maidservants came in with Xu Nianxi behind, also seeing that she was angry and afraid of something, Xu Nianxi turned her head and yelled at them all to retreat, the maids looked at each other left and right, they could only obey Xu Nianxi's words.

When Xu Yun saw that it was his sister who came in to look for him so angrily, he couldn't help but wondered what was wrong.Even if the booklet in his hand was taken away by Xu Nianxi in this way, Xu Yun could not see any displeasure or impatience on his face. He looked up at his sister, then stood up and said to Xu Nianxi , "Sister, what's the matter?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?!" Xu Nianxi, who was so upright at the moment, immediately replied to Xu Yun, and then realized that she was too aggressive, so she eased her emotions a little, calmed herself down, and continued Said, "You told your mother that you want to follow daddy and go back to Fuyang? What's going on here?"

When Xu Yun heard Xu Nianxi say this, he couldn't understand why she was so angry.He just nodded, "Yes, what's the problem? Sis, you...should be staying in the capital..." As he spoke, he gradually became clearer.

Seeing her brother's calm expression, Xu Nianxi became even angrier for a while.She lowered her voice and asked Xu Yun, with a sense of questioning, "Didn't you agree with me before that you would stay in the Princess Mansion? Why did you change your mind now and say that you will go back to Fuyang with your father? You go like this What is it if you leave me and mother in the capital?"

After hearing Xu Nianxi's words again, Xu Yun fully understood what was going on.He still looked unhurried, and said to his sister Xu Nianxi, "I said that to my sister, but I didn't know that father and mother would be separated at that time... The situation is still different now. My sister followed Isn’t it good for mother to be in the capital? If I stay, it won’t be good for mother.”

Xu Nianxi was stunned by Xu Yun's words, and immediately asked his younger brother Xu Yun, "What do you mean?"

Xu Yun nodded, "Sister will get married in at least three years. If she stays in the capital, with her grandfather and uncle around, she will definitely be able to make a good marriage. As for me... I am several years younger than my sister. Not to mention that I am not going to get married like my sister, but I want to start a family and start a business by myself. If I stay with my mother, when will my mother be able to remarry? Or will there be no way to remarry in the future?"

All of a sudden, Xu Nianxi was even more confused than before. She hadn't thought of these problems before, but her brother actually figured it out.She felt something was wrong again, how could her younger brother understand these things.Even after hearing her brother say that, Xu Nianxi still felt uncomfortable.

She curled her lips, her face was a little hot, and she asked her younger brother, "How do you know this? I don't even know."

"I heard a few maids talking about these things before, and I didn't understand them at the time. Today, I understood what my mother said." Xu Yun explained, and continued to talk to Xu Nianxi, "Sister, It doesn't matter where I am, Fuyang or the capital is better. You should stay with your mother, after all, my sister is going to get married in a few years."

Xu Nianxi felt that at this time, her brother who was not very sensible disappeared, and in front of her was this person who was so sensible that she felt ashamed.But... Even so, she couldn't say that she would go back to Fuyang with her father and grandparents like Xu Yun.

She was frustrated, ashamed but unable to give up her obsession.

She is entangled and contradictory, but she is unwilling to change her mind, unwilling to change her mind.

"You left like this, my step-mother wants to see you, misses you... what should I do?" Xu Nianxi murmured, but in the end she only said such a sentence to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun smiled and said to his sister, "As long as my sister wants to see me and write to me, I will come to see my sister and mother." My dear, I have agreed that I will definitely come to the capital to take part in the general examination in the future and get the honor, and at that time, we will naturally be able to meet again."
