The news of Princess Linjiang's illness soon spread widely. Normally, a female member of a family falling ill should not have become such big news. After all, people fall ill every day in this world.
But the strange thing was that the timing of the illness was so coincidental - he fell ill just a few days before Shen Chen's wedding, and his illness was so sudden that he couldn't even get out of bed. Everyone couldn't help but think too much.
You know, Shen Chen had openly quarreled with Princess Linjiang in the past, and even went to Emperor Longqing to ask for grace to set up his own household, just to avoid this difficult adoptive mother.
Now that this scene had occurred before Shen Chen's wedding, everyone could not help but think that Princess Linjiang was pretending to be sick and was deliberately taking advantage of the approaching wedding date to give Shen Chen and the others a warning.
Therefore, no one found it strange that the lady in charge of the palace became Concubine Yu. If Princess Linjiang made trouble, given the personalities of Shen Chen and Prince Linjiang, they would certainly not indulge them, so it was only reasonable for them to choose someone else.
Even the Concubine Shu in the palace specially bestowed some things, saying that they were specifically for Concubine Yu's health.
Everyone understood the situation tacitly, and even the wife of the Earl of Qinghe could not help but make some sarcastic remarks: "What do you mean by sick? I think he is just pretending to be sick. But then again, who would have the patience to arrange a wedding for an annoying adopted son? Who knows, in the end, you will get nothing, and after all the hard work, you will end up with a lot of guilt."
She was taking the opportunity to satirize the marriage of the Third Young Master Lin. She really wanted to interfere in his marriage and had taken action more than once, but unfortunately she always failed. Now, Concubine Lin Shu took the opportunity of the ladies' worship to make it clear that she would make the decision on the marriage of the Third Young Master Lin and decided to listen to her brother's wishes in everything. She had even less chance.
It would be fine if there was no chance, after all, she had expected this a long time ago. To put it bluntly, everyone knows each other's true colors, so there is nothing to be shy about.
But she didn't expect that Lord Qinghe asked her to give up her power as housekeeper, saying that the accounts she managed were a mess. This meant that she would not be able to arrange the marriage of Young Master Lin in the future.
You know, although she had given up on the choice of Young Master Lin's wife, she still wanted to make a fortune from Young Master Lin's marriage so that she could give her children some private money. After all, Earl Qinghe had no ability, and although all the things in the house were in her hands, they were not worth any money at all.
The truly valuable things are all on Young Master Lin.
How much money would his family and Concubine Lin Shu give to arrange his marriage? This was an account that everyone would calculate, but now it was not his turn.
Since it is not your turn, you can't help but be sarcastic about other people's affairs.
Qinghe Bo was rarely angry. He glared at her and scolded her, sneering: "Didn't you tell everyone that you were sick? Many doctors have examined you, but they didn't see that you were faking it. How could you see it with your sharp eyes? Are you more patient than the doctors? Be quiet!"
He was furious. Although he and his sons did not have a very good relationship, they still looked after him. But ever since the wife of the Earl of Qinghe did those stupid things, his relationship with his children had deteriorated. Not to mention that Concubine Lin Shu and Young Master Lin did not look at him straight, even Uncle Lin and his men were looking down on him...
He was very upset, and when he saw that the wife of the Earl of Qinghe immediately retorted with a mean look, he became even more angry: "You troublemaker, if it weren't for you, this family wouldn't be like this now. People say that one should marry a virtuous wife, which one do you meet? So that I can have something to say, but look at yourself, you can't handle the family affairs, and you can't help with the outside affairs. You are simply a troublemaker. Because of you, our family is broken up! Be more virtuous in the future. If you say something like this again, it's just provocation, and then go back to your parents' home!"
This was not the first time he had asked for a divorce, but never before had his attitude been so resolute. Over the years, his patience had gradually reached its limit.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe endured it again and again. She originally wanted to stand up and pull him to explain it clearly, but when she thought of the Third Young Master Lin and Concubine Lin Shu, she stopped in dismay and cursed: "I don't care! How can I interfere in the affairs of this family in the future?! What do you mean by returning to my parents' home? Even if I die, I have to die in your family! I have been in mourning for your family for six years, and gave birth to sons and daughters for your family..."
She couldn't help but cursed Lin Sanshao in a low voice: "You are such a cold stone that can't be warmed up. You deserve that the girl doesn't like you!"
The girl she was referring to was of course Wei An. The fact that Young Master Lin proposed to Wei An was not hidden, and everyone knew about it.
At that time, the wife of the Earl of Qinghe was very worried for a while. Her own son's wife was her niece. Not to mention her family background, just in terms of ability, there was no way she could compare with Wei An!
The girl from the Wei family is a rare talent. To be favored by Concubine Lin Shu... If she were to marry him, how could they live a happy life? !
Unexpectedly, the plan did not work out. Later, she could not help but go to the temple to worship the Buddha because of this incident, thinking that it was the Buddha's manifestation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly spit on the ground again: "I should go and pray to the Buddha again! I hope you won't be able to find a wife in your whole life!"
If you are single all your life, what is the use of having more money? !
She clasped her hands together and prayed willingly for a while. When she opened her eyes, she saw Young Master Lin. She was so nervous that she hiccuped.
Seeing her rolling her eyes, Lin's mother and others nearby were also startled. They hurriedly surrounded her and patted her back to calm her down. After she finally calmed down, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the person in front of her with a vigilant look. She struggled and said angrily, "What are you doing here?!"
Young Master Lin raised his eyebrows and said two words lightly: "Propose a marriage."
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe was not able to react for a moment. Mother Lin beside her was also stunned. They both suspected that they were hallucinating. Proposal?! Proposal for what?! Why would he go back to his own house and say proposal
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe could not help but laugh sarcastically, with a look of smugness and amusement in her eyes and eyebrows: "Putting in a betrothal gift? Are you crazy about getting a wife? There is not even a shadow of a person, where can you put in a betrothal gift?!"
She knew what Lin Sanshao was thinking, and knew that this iceberg was also a love-struck seed. Now Wei An was taken by Shen Chen first, and he was not someone who could figure things out immediately. Could it be that he was going to go against Shen Chen and snatch someone else's wife?
