Li Yaonan really had something to do this time, so he came to the side hall in the front yard and looked coldly at the servant who was sitting restlessly inside. Li Yaonan was very angry and refused to admit that he was taking his anger out on others.
"Aunt... ...Uncle." The servant rubbed his hands, looking uneasy. It was obvious that he had heard others mention the premature birth of his son when he first arrived at the Li residence.
Li Yaonan had a blank expression on his face. He knew this servant. He had been to Li's house several times and was Lin Zhiyuan's long-time attendant. Li Yaonan secretly hated him in his heart, wondering why he couldn't have come two days earlier.
Seeing that the son-in-law looked unhappy, Lin Hua secretly said, "Young Master learned that Madam had sent someone to Yangzhou, so he hurriedly asked me to come here. Who knew that no matter how hard I rushed, I was still two days late. Please forgive me, son-in-law."
"Tell me, what happened?" Li Yaonan said lightly, suppressing his anger. He was still concerned about his brother-in-law, otherwise he was afraid that Lin Yixuan would be worried.
Lin Hua breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the uncle was willing to ask questions. "My uncle, the young master fell off his horse in the hunting grounds in Xishan and is currently recovering in Xishan. I was afraid that the ninth young master would worry, so I sent a letter to you, saying that you will know it at a glance."
As Lin Hua spoke, he took out a thick letter from his pocket. Li Yaonan did not open it, but only asked, "How is your young master?"
Lin Hua considered it carefully and said carefully: "The young master is fine, everything is fine, but there seems to be some problems with the marriage in the Yuan family."
Li Yaonan understood instantly that there must be a lot of water in his brother-in-law's broken leg. He still remembered that Lin Yixuan once mentioned that the woman in the Yuan family was not a good person, and they were worried about not being able to cancel the engagement, so his brother-in-law did this. It could save his own face and avoid offending others. The only thing that was wronged was that his child was born a month earlier because of this.
Li Yaonan asked someone to arrange for Lin Hua to rest first, then he turned around and went to the main room. When he reached the door of the bedroom, he paused and pointed at a little maid and asked, "Is your master up yet?"
"My dear brother-in-law, the young master has woken up and was looking forward to seeing you." Chun Xian's face was full of surprise. How could she not notice that her brother-in-law and the young master were in conflict? But seeing that her brother-in-law still cared about his young master and came to see him several times a day, she felt less nervous.
Li Yaonan nodded and handed her the letter: "Give it to your young master."
Chun Xian was stunned: "Isn't the uncle going in?"
"I won't go in..." Before he could finish his words, Lin Yixuan opened the curtain, held onto the door frame with difficulty, and looked at him with red eyes.
"Why did you come out?" Li Yaonan frowned, feeling a little angry. How could he still not take care of himself? He glanced at the servants beside him and said angrily, "How are you serving the master? Hurry up and help him in."
"Husband, I miss you." Lin Yixuan looked at him resentfully, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Yaonan was at a loss, feeling a little worried. He didn't want to come when Lin Yixuan was awake, because he was afraid of this. He originally wanted to leave him alone for three days, but Li Yaonan had a hunch that his plan might fail after meeting the young husband.
"Husband, I was wrong." Lin Yixuan said pitifully. Although it was a bit pretending, his feelings were sincere. He didn't like the current situation. He liked that Li Yaonan had him in his eyes, and he also liked Li Yaonan's love and care.
"Go into the house and rest first." Seeing that Lin Yixuan was struggling to stand and his face was a little pale, Li Yaonan felt a tightness in his heart for some reason and started to worry.
"I won't leave unless my husband comes." Lin Yixuan stood still, with beads of sweat on her forehead. There was persistence, stubbornness, and a determination not to compromise in her eyes.
Shit! Li Yaonan wanted to curse the heavens. He was really helpless. Even though he knew that Lin Yixuan was using a self-torture trick, he had to fall into it willingly. He glared at him fiercely, “Do you know you’re wrong?”
"Got it." Lin Yixuan nodded obediently, a faint smile appearing on his pale face. He knew that his husband still cared about her.
Li Yaonan was furious. As soon as Lin Yixuan finished speaking, he picked her up and raised his voice to yell, "You know this but you still don't take care of yourself!"
Hearing Li Yaonan's scolding, Lin Yixuan felt satisfied and calmed down. He leaned on Li Yaonan's arms, letting him put him on the bed. He reached out and grabbed the corner of Li Yaonan's clothes, his face full of dependence.
Seeing this, Li Yaonan had no other words to say. He could only throw the letter to him and said unhappily, "Read it yourself."
Lin Yixuan glanced at him cautiously, and seeing that Li Yaonan showed no sign of being angry, he opened the envelope. After reading it, he lowered his head even more and glanced at his son, whose face had grown a little. His heart softened. He really knew he was wrong.
It turned out that it was true that my brother fell off his horse in Xishan, but his injury was not that serious and he is now recovering in Xishan.
It just so happened that both the Jingyang Marquisate and the Yuan Family were forcing him to marry, so he simply took advantage of the situation and bribed the doctor to announce that he was seriously injured and would most likely be unable to walk in the future. Anyway, although he was the third son of the Jingyang Marquisate, he didn't have the ability to trouble the imperial physician to travel a long way, so he wasn't afraid of being exposed.
Originally, my brother was planning to use his serious injury as an excuse to negotiate with the Yuan family to cancel the engagement, so that the woman's face could be saved and neither of them would be too upset. But as soon as the news of his broken leg came out, before he could take any action, the Yuan family couldn't wait to come to his house and ask for the cancellation of the engagement.
Because of this, Lin's mother was so angry that she made a big fuss. It was the Yuan family who wanted to get engaged in the first place, and now that her son was in trouble, the Yuan family was the one who ran away the fastest. If her son had not broken his leg this time, she really would not have realized that the Yuan family was such a bunch of people.
Mother Lin hated the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion to the core. Her youngest son was married off far away, and her eldest son was harmed by them. If the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion had not arranged this marriage, she would never have agreed to it. Not to mention how good the Yuan family was, but the fact that they were the emperor's in-laws was enough for her to exclude the girls from the Yuan family.
Lin Zhiyuan was actually also speechless. Although he believed what his brother said, he still couldn't bear it. After all, breaking off the engagement would have a huge impact on the woman, which made him hesitant, so it had been delayed until now. He originally wanted to use his serious injuries as an excuse to break off the engagement, so that both of them would save face, but he didn't expect that the woman was more anxious than him.
If he had doubts about the Marquis' Mansion and the Yuan Family since talking with his brother last year, then he was completely disappointed after this incident. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he listened to his brother and resisted pressure from both sides and did not marry the woman from the Yuan Family. Otherwise, not only would his little cousin be sad, but his family would also be in turmoil in the future.
This time, it was because he was in Xishan that he did not know that Lin's mother had sent things to Yangzhou. He knew that his younger brother had been smart since he was a child. After hearing the news, he hurriedly sent a servant over to explain the matter to them, for fear that his younger brother would worry.
Moreover, my brother also said in the letter that he was going to join the army as soon as he recovered from his injury. The Yuan family's breaking off of the engagement was a good reason. As long as he insisted, it would be difficult for Jingyang Marquis' Mansion to stop him. It was impossible to tie him down with another engagement. After all, he was a poor man whose engagement was broken off, and it was understandable that he was sad and went to the battlefield.
The only thing he felt sorry for was his mother. He did not inform her in advance for fear that she would be exposed. In the future, he would be far away from the capital. Lin Zhiyuan reminded his brother in the letter that he should respect his mother after arriving in the capital. He would work hard to earn military merits on the battlefield and would not let anyone bully or take advantage of him, so as to support his mother and brother.
Lin Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart. It would be better for him to leave the vortex in the capital as soon as possible. His brother was well-known in the capital and would definitely be the target of all parties' wooing, otherwise the Yuan family would not have taken a fancy to him. His brother sounded nicely and was the third son of the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion, but in fact, the master of the third room was just a fifth-rank official and the most useless one. You have to know that their father would die in a woman's bed sooner or later.
There are three branches in Jingyang Marquis's house. His grandmother was very powerful and did not allow his grandfather to have a son born out of wedlock. The first and second branches together only have four sons and five daughters. But his father is good. In addition to him and his brother, he has four daughters and three sons born out of wedlock. He is the most fertile in Jingyang Marquis's house. How much attention can he and his brother get? His mother married him, which was really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
And having such an incompetent father, what does it matter if they are in Jingyang Marquis Mansion? They have no power or capital, and will be easily abandoned. That is as it should be. In this life, he will never let those unpleasant things happen, and will make his mother and brother live a stable life.
Lin Yixuan smiled faintly. Now that the Yuan family's marriage has been resolved, things between his little cousin and his brother should be much smoother. In fact, he was looking forward to the day when his little cousin would become his sister-in-law.
only... ...
Lin Yixuan handed the letter to Li Yaonan and looked at his son lovingly. He felt a little scared. It was a close call. He could have made a big mistake by just a little bit.
Li Yaonan had already guessed what was going on, so he was not surprised when he read the letter. He wanted to scold Lin Yixuan, but when he turned around, he saw him lowering his head as if he was obeying the instructions. He felt amused again, but he could not bring himself to blame him. He could only sigh and look at his slightly tired face, saying helplessly, "Go to sleep."
Lin Yixuan was startled, bit her lips tightly, and stared at Li Yaonan with wide eyes. Is he going to leave again
Li Yaonan was really distressed. He just wanted Lin Yixuan to remember this lesson, but he never thought that he would be so uneasy. He said in a very soft voice: "You are tired. Take a nap first. I will stay here with you."
"Really?" Lin Yixuan blinked, and a hint of bright red appeared on his pale face.
Li Yaonan nodded carefully and said with a smile, "I'll keep my word. I promise."
This time, Lin Yixuan fell asleep with a smile on his face. In his dream, he held Li Yaonan's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
Li Yaonan had no choice but to obey him. He simply lay on the outside, put his son on the innermost, and put his arms around both of them. In his heart, he was thinking about what name to give his son. Ever since Lin Yixuan became pregnant, he had been looking for a name in a book, but he still hadn't decided until the child was born.
Li Yaonan was filled with regret. He never knew that naming was such a difficult thing.
