Jade Without Fragrance

  Chapter 3 Family

  Wen Hao was in a mess, and was taken back to the General's Mansion by Wen Chan.

  The General's Mansion is close to the Jingwang Mansion, so it is much more convenient to go back here than to the Wen Mansion.

  The old lady heard the report and ran out: "Ah, I heard you hurt your foot?"

  Wen Hao looked at the anxious old lady, and tears rolled down her face: "Grandma—"

   This cry shocked everyone.

   After being stunned, the old lady hugged Wen Hao, touched her hair with trembling hands, and touched her face again, thinking she was dreaming: "Aha, Aha—"

  Wen Hao is speechless, and has always been a stone in the hearts of the elders who love her.

   "Grandma, I can talk now." Wen Hao smiled with tears in his eyes, reluctant to look away from the old lady for a moment.

   It's good to see my grandmother again, but according to the original development, my grandmother passed away not long after.

   was mad at his father.

"Chan'er, do your parents know that Ah Hao can talk? By the way, didn't you go to King Jing's mansion with your mother today?" The old lady couldn't help but think about it later, "Hao Hao is not with us. In the mansion, how did you come back from outside together?"

  Wen Chan glanced at her grandmother's younger sister, who was staring at her grandmother, and said helplessly, "Second sister went over the wall."

   The old lady was stunned for a moment and then smiled, looking at Wen Hao with a loving look in her eyes: "Ahao's naughty nature, follow me."

  Wen Chan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

   She knew that her grandmother would react this way, so she told the truth directly.

  Wen Hao stretched out his hand and gently pulled the old lady's sleeve.

   "Ah, what's the matter?" The old lady looked at her granddaughter, unable to hide the joy in the corners of her brows and eyes.

   For her, whether Ah Hao can speak or not is her beloved granddaughter, but for Ah Hao, it will be a completely different life.

  Her ah, she is bright and sweet, but she has suffered too much injustice because she can't speak.

   "Grandma, I seem to be in trouble."

   "What's the trouble?" Thinking of Wen Chan's words, the old lady smiled unconcernedly, "Oh, what about going over the wall? Then what's the problem, you went over it when you were a child."

  The General's Mansion was originally the mansion of the Duke of the State. Although General Lin, who followed Taizu to conquer the world, was not as honorable as the prince, in terms of real power and status in the heart of the Taizu, few princes could compare.

   Later Taizu died, and the weak-tempered Emperor Pingle succeeded to the throne. Faced with the attack and retreat of Qiren, he retreated again and again, and ceded the land with indemnity. In just two years, he lost ten cities.

  Old General Lin was a hot-tempered man. Once he scolded the emperor for lowering his first-class title, he scolded the Duke's mansion as a general's mansion. Xu was taking care of the late emperor Yu Wei, but the emperor did not let the Lin family move out of the Guogong Mansion, but only changed the door plaque.

   Later, Emperor Pingle's younger brother, King An, invaded the capital, and Emperor Pingle disappeared in the chaos. King An ascended the throne and changed his name to Tai'an.

   Emperor Tai'an wanted to re-designate Lao General Lin as the prince, but General Lin was heartbroken that Emperor Pingle was weak to the outside world and did not like Emperor Tai'an's disgraceful means of succession, so he resolutely refused.

   "I fell in front of Prince Jing, and was seen by the little princess and others."

  The old lady raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, took Wen Hao into her arms and comforted: "that's okay. Ah Hao, remember, gossip is nothing but a gust of wind. As long as the person who hurts you doesn't care, turn around and go away."

   "I remember." Wen Hao snuggled up to his grandmother and sighed in his heart.

   Those who love her don't really care, but those who love her will die soon, crazy, and those who don't love her will push her into the fire pit.

   At this moment, a medical woman came in with a medicine box.

  The old lady pointed at Wen Hao and said, "show the second girl's feet quickly."

  Wenhao had a bruised ankle, but luckily no bone was injured. The female doctor wrapped the ice cubes with a soft towel and applied it to her.

  Wenchan felt distressed, but couldn't help but wonder: "I twisted my foot and didn't say anything, why did I bite my hand, what if I left a scar?"

  Wen Hao looked at the eldest sister who carefully applied the ointment for her, and said with a smile, "I thought I was dreaming when I found out that I could talk."

  Wen Chan held her hands and lowered her eyes to hide her tears.

  Sister can be considered to have come through hardships.

   Waiting for the medical woman to settle down and retreat, a beautiful woman with her hair in a high bun hurriedly entered the curtain.

   "I guess Chan'er brought Ah Hao to her mother's place." Lin Shifeng came to the old lady's side, looking at Wen Hao nervously, "Hao, are you alright?"

   She was chatting and laughing with a group of noble ladies with Princess Jing, when a maid in the palace quietly told her about her youngest daughter.

   It's just that the maid didn't say much, which scared her to death.

  Wen Hao looked at Lin Shi, but didn't say anything for a while.

  Lin looked at the eldest daughter with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then at her mother with a smile on her face, with an inexplicable expression: "What's wrong?"

   "Mother—" Wen Hao shouted crisply.

   Lin was stunned for a moment, then stared straight at Wen Hao: "Ah Hao?"

   Before Wen could speak, he raised his hand and pinched his cheek.

  The old lady couldn't stop it, and said, "You are really mother and daughter."

   Lin's lips trembled with excitement, and even if her cheeks hurt, she couldn't believe it: "Ah, call me again, mother."

   "Mother." Wen Hao choked.

   Lin held Wen Hao and couldn't help crying.

  The old lady wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Quickly tell your son-in-law about the happy event."

  Wen's eyes turned cold after hearing those words.

   Yes, at this time, my father was still a good son-in-law in the eyes of my grandmother, and a good husband in the eyes of my mother.

  Wen Hao broke free from Lin's arms: "Mother, let's go home first."

   "Ah, you hurt your foot, so you are raising it here. You can go back when you are ready." The old lady stopped her.

   "It's not far, just a few steps in the carriage. I'll accompany you when my feet are healed."

  Lin also said: "Mother, let me take their sisters back, so as not to disturb your purity."

  The old general Lin passed away. As a married daughter, Lin only needs to observe filial piety for one year, and the old lady needs to observe filial piety for her husband for three years. Therefore, filial piety has not been eliminated yet.

  The old lady thought of this, so she didn't stop her.

  Wen Mansion was indeed very close to the General Mansion. The three mother and daughter took a carriage and arrived in a quarter of an hour.

  Wen Hao lifted the curtain of the car door, fixed a look at the door plaque with the word "Wen House" inscribed, and sneered silently.

  This house was bought by my grandfather after my parents got engaged. My mother is an only child, and my grandfather and grandmother wanted her to live closer to her parents' home.

   Of course, the most practical problem was that at that time, my father was just a jinshi from a poor family who had just passed the exam. He didn’t want to live in the Yue family to hurt his self-esteem, and he didn’t have the money to buy a house.

   "Well, what are you looking at?" Lin was in a good mood and asked the little daughter who was looking out with a smile.

  Wen Hao put down the curtains of the car and said with a smile, "It always feels like a dream, and even home looks a little strange. Mother, why don't you send letters to father. Wouldn't it be nice to give him a surprise when father comes back."

  Lin has been loved in every possible way since he was a child. Although he has been married for many years, he still has the character of a little girl, so he immediately felt that this proposal was a good idea.

   When the sun was almost dusk, the maid had time to report "Master is back", and Wen Rugui strode in.

   "Master—" Seeing Wen Rugui's ashen face, Lin's mouth closed with a smile, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
