Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 23

Lin Xuan worked in the Imperial Academy, and had heard about Lin Qi's failure for a long time. After returning home, he found him to comfort him.After Lin Hai returned home, he even had a good talk with Lin Qi.Even Xiao Linyuan, who didn't know much about this matter, coaxed her cousin Lin Qi and tried to make him happy when she saw her cousin Lin Qi.

Lin Qi agreed with his uncle to go to the Imperial College to study, but he was not sure whether Jiang would agree.When he talked to Jiang Shi the next day, Jiang Shi hated her so much that she almost poked Lin Qi in the head and cursed.

Jiang was not very willing to ask Lin Hai to help them, and always felt that he owed their family.She was also very upset that Lin Qi agreed to the matter without asking her opinion.

She knew that the Guozijian could go in and study with a little more money, and Lin Qi won the exam again. Jiang Shi thought that this matter would definitely be successful, so there was no need to ask them to help.

"I'll go and tell your aunt that we can handle this by ourselves without your uncle's help." Mrs. Jiang said to Lin Qi angrily, expressing her dissatisfaction with Lin Qi very clearly.

Seeing his mother like this, Lin Qi only felt that one head was two big. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with asking his uncle to help, so why bother to find so many things for himself.

"Mother, if uncle can help you, we don't have to do anything, so why bother? Besides, I have already promised uncle."

Lin Qi felt that he had already agreed and if Jiang said that he didn't need to help, it would be embarrassing for him, and it was rare that he didn't follow Jiang's wishes.

For Jiang Shi, Lin Qi's two words were truly extraordinary.The elder son who used to be obedient in everything and never disobeyed her, now talks to her like this?
Mrs. Jiang didn't speak, just stared at Lin Qi with tears in her eyes, Lin Qi's heart trembled, she didn't think she was wrong at first, but she began to wonder if there was something wrong with her...

Lin Qi was stared at by Jiang Shi so much that she wanted to cry but didn't cry, and she couldn't stop crying in her heart. The previous complaining attitude was long gone, and her face changed into a flattering smile.

"If mother doesn't like it, then she can do it according to mother's wishes. My son has no objections."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Jiang finally felt more at ease. She glanced at Lin Qi sideways, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "You're right if you think so, how could mother hurt you? ,Yes or no?"

Lin Qi repeatedly responded that she agreed with Jiang's words.After talking to him for a few more words, Mrs. Jiang ordered the servant girl to help her dress up, and then she went to find her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang.

Lin Yuan didn't need to go to the academy today, so she laughed and laughed with her mother, and her sister-in-law Xu was also there.Lin Yuan graciously showed the paintings she made in the academy to her mother and sister-in-law, hoping to be praised.

She is only six years old, and her level of drawing is limited. How realistic and beautiful the drawing must be... The possibility is too small, after all, she is not a genius, is she?
However, Mrs. Lin really didn't understand what that painting by Lin Yuan was, so she asked her daughter, "What is that painted by Sister Yuan?"

Seeing that her mother was curious, Lin Yuan introduced her and her sister-in-law very generously, "Mother, sister-in-law, isn't it just the season of spring and the blooming of flowers?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin asked, "Is this...a flower?"

As soon as she said mother, she understood. Lin Yuan became happy and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, mother, the teacher gave us a topic to paint the spring in my heart. Mother, sister-in-law, do I look like it?" ? Does it look good?"

Mrs. Xu looked at the "flower" in Lin Yuan's painting that was almost covered with ink and could hardly see its real appearance, and nodded seriously, "It's beautiful, the flowers painted by little Ayuan are very beautiful."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyes widened in joy, and she asked again and again, "Sister-in-law, is it true? Are my paintings really good-looking?"

Mrs. Xu gave Lin Yuan a positive answer every time, and Mrs. Lin watched from the side, laughing so hard that she fell down.She didn't praise Lin Yuan like Mrs. Xu, but asked Lin Yuan again, "Sister Yuan, what kind of flower is painted in this painting? Mother is probably not smart enough to understand it at all."

Xiao Linyuan, who was immersed in the praise of her beautiful paintings, replied cheerfully, "Of course it is my mother's favorite peach blossom." After she finished speaking, she realized and said, "Mother is very smart, just look at it two more times. You can see it at a glance, because my sister-in-law said that I draw very beautifully."

Mrs. Lin felt that she had to see the reason for this painting by her daughter, so she cooperated and looked at the painting several times carefully before nodding her head and praised, "Indeed! Take a second look." I found out that Sister Yuan's paintings are very beautiful! They are lifelike! They are lifelike!"

Lin Yuan smiled and asked again, "Does mother like it?" After getting an affirmative answer, she waved her small hand and said generously, "Since mother likes it so much, then I will give it to my sister-in-law!" The big eyes are full of mischievous meaning.

Mrs. Lin gave her an angry look, "Little Ayuan without a conscience!" Lin Yuan smiled, and said to her mother flatteringly, "I haven't given a gift to my sister-in-law yet! If my mother likes it, I'll give it to her." Let’s draw a new one for my mother again, okay? Anyway, as long as it’s drawn by me, it will look good, right?”

"Okay, mother reluctantly agrees." Mrs. Lin also said with a smile.

Lin Yuan walked over and gave her mother a resounding kiss on the face, then excitedly presented her painting to her sister-in-law Xu Yueshan, and said quite boldly, "Sister-in-law, it's not easy for my mother to give up her love. The beautiful painting I will give it to you!"

Xu Yueshan had already laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, but now she had to bear with it and took her painting from Lin Yuan, still nodding seriously, "Thank you little Ayuan! Sister-in-law must put it away, frame it, and hang it in the study !"

The paintings I made can be framed and hung in the study room of my eldest brother, right?Xiao Linyuan was dizzy with joy, and hurriedly responded, "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, frame it and hang it in the study, so that elder brother can see it too!"

The warm and pleasant atmosphere was inevitably stagnated for a moment because the maid reported that Mrs. Jiang was coming. Xu Yueshan said to Mrs. Lin with a wink, "Mother, I will take Sister Yuan to the garden."

Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go."

Lin Yuan felt that her mother and aunt probably had other matters, so she happily bid farewell to her mother, and walked away holding hands with her elder sister-in-law.

Jiang smiled and approached the main hall, and walked in front of Mrs. Lin, but did not meet Xu Yueshan and Lin Yuan.Mrs. Lin also smiled when she saw Jiang Shi, and asked her to sit down and ordered the servant girl to serve tea.

Sitting down in the guest seat, Mrs. Jiang didn't immediately explain the purpose of her visit, but chatted a little.After the servant girl served tea and left, she said to Mrs. Lin, "Sister-in-law, I'm here... Actually, I want to talk to you about Brother Qi."

She already guessed why Mrs. Jiang came here, but Mrs. Lin still pretended to be surprised and asked her, "What's wrong with Brother Qi?"

Jiang laughed again, "No, my brother Qi went to the Imperial College to study. It is already very troublesome for the three of us to live in the mansion, the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law. If we have to rely on the elder brother or the elder sister-in-law for everything, what is the matter? I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

"Since you call me sister-in-law, it means that we are a family, and there is no reason for us to have separate children. This matter is not troublesome, so brothers and sisters don't have to feel sorry."

Mrs. Jiang insisted again and again, Mrs. Lin persuaded her a few times, and then followed her.In the end, Jiang and his sister-in-law only talked for a while, and then they agreed.

Since she was able to say this, Mrs. Wang would not refuse to agree to her words.Left and right are Jiang's own ideas, so it's no wonder others.If she regretted it in the future, if she dared to slander casually, Mrs. Wang would not let her expose the matter easily.

Coming out of the main hall, Mrs. Jiang finally got what she wanted.She went back to the courtyard where she lived in a full heart, but when she just returned to the room, the old lady came over and said that she had something important to say to her.

Jiang's heart was full of doubts, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong recently, why did she run out of something important to tell her?After Mrs. Jiang sat down, she asked the old woman who followed her what happened.

There was no one else in the room, only the two of them. Even so, the old mother still leaned into Jiang's ear and whispered a general idea to her.Mrs. Jiang was surprised and angry when she heard it, Liu Yemei seemed to be wrinkled into a ball, but at the end she was furious, "How dare a little girl seduce Eldest Young Master?"

Mrs. Jiang became more and more angry, and said to the old mother, "Go and call Qingyue over, I will interrogate her carefully."

Didn't she know there was such a thing in the past?Doesn't that mean that his son's failure probably has something to do with this maid?If this servant girl had divided his son's mind and energy, how could this result be like this?The more Jiang thought about it, the more she felt suffocated.

The old nanny acted vigorously, and after receiving the order, she quickly caught the maid Qingyue in front of Jiang Shi.

Seeing Jiang's angry appearance, Qingyue made a rough guess about the matter.She was only glad that before she was caught, the little maid who was close with her hinted that she should inform the young master.Qingyue knelt in front of Jiang Shi, trembling, as if facing an abyss.

Jiang asked her straight to the point, "Did you seduce the young master, you lowly maid? The young master should have been preparing for the scientific examination with peace of mind, and successfully obtained the fame, but because of you, because of your seduction, he lost his reputation. This consequence is yours alone." Can the servant girl afford it?"

With her head down, Qingyue silently knelt in front of Jiang Shi and listened to it, neither crying nor defending herself.

When Lin Qi, who was notified by the little maid, rushed over, she stepped into the door and happened to hear her mother's angry words, "Now you are actually pregnant with my son, what a skill!"

Lin Qi was startled, and quickly walked over and asked, "Mother, what are you talking about? Why are you pregnant with my seed?" Lin Qi looked at Qingyue who was kneeling on the ground, and Qingyue also raised her face to look at him, Tears rolled in the eyes.

Seeing her son rushing over so quickly, Jiang was not angry but said, "Qi'er, you came just in time, since you are here, tell me what you plan to do with this maid and the child in her belly."

Ask Lin Qi, how does Lin Qi know what to do?He didn't have any idea at all, should he be born or be destroyed, is there any other choice?
Mrs. Jiang probably scolded Qingyue for a while, and now she felt a little better and thought about what to do.Seeing that her son was in trouble, she only asked him, "Do you want this child?"

Lin Qi didn't have any thoughts in his mind, and after glancing at Qingyue, he nodded his head knowingly.Jiang stared at him, and only said to him, "I can't have this child."

"You haven't married yet, what do you want a maid's child for? If you give birth to a concubine's eldest son, will there be anyone in the future whose daughter is willing to marry you?"

Lin Qi thought that this was indeed the case, so she said again, "Then I don't want it." Jiang Shi gave him another glance, Lin Qi was at a loss, but Jiang Shi fell silent.

After secretly speculating for a while, Mrs. Jiang did not ask Lin Qi but asked the old mother, "If this matter is left to the other young masters in the house, does the mother think it is feasible?"

Both Lin Qi and Qingyue were taken aback by Jiang Shi's words, but the old mother's expression did not change when she heard this, she just replied, "I don't know what Madam is going to do?"

"Inquire about the good news first, and then let Qingyue borrow tea to go to the study of the young master. Brother Qi and sister-in-law pretended to look for their cousin or cousin, and accidentally broke through the room. Adultery. Afterwards, Qingyue firmly insisted that the child in her womb was his."

"They value these things the most, and they are determined not to spread the word or make a fuss. Qingyue insisted on it, and brother Qi and sister-in-law both ran into each other, so no matter how much he tried to defend, it was useless. A person with the temperament of big brother might force his son to take Qingyue as his wife. Then, the child will naturally be born and live a very good life."

"feasible."

Mrs. Jiang was finally satisfied with the affirmative answer from the old mother.
