Lin Yixuan's heart was calm and he was surprised to find that when he saw that person again, he was not moved at all, as if that person was just an insignificant stranger.
There was no overwhelming hatred, nor sadness or regret. He was so indifferent that everything about that person had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yixuan curled the corners of his lips in a good mood. He knew that he had let it go completely. Hatred is sometimes also a kind of emotion. It's not worth it. That person is not worth him wasting any thought on. Now his mother is divorced, his brother is far away in the army, and he has a husband who loves him. Everything in his previous life is far away from him. That person is indeed an insignificant person. Jingyang Marquis Mansion, the Sixth Prince, or the Crown Prince will not have any influence on him.
There was no need to seek revenge, nor to bear in mind the past events, which would make him no longer recognize himself. He only needed to wait and watch, raise the children at home, and be a good wife to his husband. He firmly believed that the group of people would seek their own death.
"What are you thinking about? So happy?"
Lin Yixuan shook her head with a silly smile: "No, I am very happy with my husband."
Li Yaonan smiled complacently, his eyes full of meaning, and teased, "Tell me the truth, have you been eyeing your husband for a long time?"
"You are so beautiful." Lin Yixuan glared at him and asked, "Do you like your husband very much?"
Li Yaonan had never known what shame was, so he immediately climbed up the pole and nodded, "Yes, husband, you are touched, right? Is there any reward?"
Lin Yixuan blushed instantly. When talking about rewards, he thought of the embarrassing thing. Her husband was obviously a virgin, so he didn't know where all the tricks came from.
The two laughed and played until they were tired, and did not return home until late at night. By then, Yang Yi and his mother had already gone to bed. The couple spent the whole night in love. The room was filled with low panting and bone-eroding pleasures, which gradually died down until dawn.
As for the Sixth Prince, looking at the receding back of Lin family's Xiaojiu, he was filled with rage. He stared at Li Yaonan, wishing he could tear him to pieces. How could Xiaojiu smile at others, and smile so sweetly
Seeing Lin Yixuan again, the Sixth Prince was obviously stunned. He had never realized before that Lin Yixuan was so charming and beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.
The Sixth Prince felt an unprecedented sense of loss in his heart and ignored the indifferent look that Lin Yixuan gave him. He thought he had forgotten Lin Xiaojiu long ago. After all, they had never said it clearly before and only maintained that vague ambiguity. He liked Lin Xiaojiu very much, but this love was not enough for him to give more. So when the news of Lin Xiaojiu eloping came out, he actually felt a little resentful in his heart, blaming Lin Xiaojiu for being ignorant.
Until the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion married Lin Yixuan, he felt a little regretful but more relieved. The Jingyang Marquis' Mansion handled the matter very well, and there were no rumors outside, so naturally he was not involved.
However, he didn't expect that after just one year of not seeing each other, Lin Yixuan seemed to have become more beautiful and mature. She no longer had the innocence she once had, but she seemed more flavorful. That mellow fragrance was so delicious that it made people linger on it just by looking at her.
In fact, the Sixth Prince had known that Lin Yixuan had returned to Beijing a long time ago, but he had never taken it to heart, and of course he had not paid attention to it. It was only when he saw her today that Lin Yixuan turned into white moonlight, and the Sixth Prince realized at this time that he still liked him.
The Sixth Prince felt a little regretful. Even if he married Lin Jingshu as his principal wife, it would also be fine to take Lin Xiaojiu as his concubine. He regretted that he should not have been too cautious at the beginning. Well, it was useless to think too much now. The Sixth Prince had always been a calm person. His beloved had already married someone else, and Li Yaonan was in name only in front of his father. Even if he missed her, what could he do? He could not let the Crown Prince catch any evidence against him at this moment.
Until later, later...
That night, the Sixth Prince stayed awake all night. All the good things about Lin Yixuan were infinitely magnified in his eyes. Thus, before Li Yaonan even stepped into the court, he inexplicably had a potential enemy.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin's mother moved back to the villa, and her little cousin moved in with her. Lin Yixuan felt a little lost, as he was the one who instigated his mother's divorce. Now seeing his mother living alone in the villa, he felt sad.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Yang Yi hurriedly comforted him: "Cousin, don't worry, I will take care of my aunt."
Lin Yixuan curled the corners of his lips. His cousin is his cousin and he is him, so what
Li Yaonan smiled and joked: "Don't frown, it's so ugly. If you miss your mother, take the child over, or we can bring her over after some time."
Lin Yixuan's eyes lit up, and then he glared at her: "Who are you calling ugly?"
Li Yaonan pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "I'm talking about myself."
Lin Yixuan was choked, and the little cousin on the other side burst into laughter and said with envy: "You two have such a good relationship. I knew that my brother-in-law would treat my cousin well."
Li Yaonan smiled. At that time, he never thought that he would spend his whole life with a man. Of course, he would never tell this to anyone even if he was beaten to death.
Lin Yixuan pursed his lips and his eyes softened. At that time, he just wanted to fulfill his duty as a lord, but he didn't know that he picked up a treasure. Of course, he would never tell anyone about the drugging in this life, and he would only take it to his grave.
It has to be said that the couple's train of thought reached a consensus at some point.
After that, the two houses began to move around normally. Generally, Lin's mother would stay in the villa for half a month, and then stay in Li's house for another half a month. This way, others would not gossip about her. Lin's mother's reputation would definitely be affected by her divorce. Even if Li Yaonan didn't care, Lin's mother did. She didn't want to drag down her brother and son-in-law's future because of herself.
The capital city is neither big nor small. My brother-in-law is a civil official, not a military general like Zhiyuan. Moreover, the capital city is far away. Military generals may be vulgar, but they really don't care about those rules.
But it is different for literati. Among them, some are very talkative and love to make trouble out of nothing and complain about nothing. They always want to take precautions against everything.
Everything was in order at the Li Mansion, but the Jingyang Marquis Mansion was in a state of turmoil. The New Year gift that Lin Yixuan sent was really a mere meager gift. For the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, it was not even enough to send away a beggar.
Madam Lin held her anger and gave the gifts to the servants. As for the return gifts, sorry, she had never thought about it. She just remembered that during the Chinese New Year last year, there seemed to be a joke in the Shangshu Mansion. The son-in-law gave a pair of fake colored porcelain as a gift, and the appearance of the colored porcelain was the same as the dowry of Madam Lin San that year.
Madam Lin thought she knew the inside story. Even if the colored porcelain was a fake, Lin Jiu might not have the real thing. Before she even met Mr. Qingyang, Madam Lin looked down on him in her heart. If he was really a capable man, how could he let others take over his property? The gifts he gave were so inappropriate and he really had no manners.
Apart from Marquis Jingyang keeping silent, Uncle Lin has already figured out a way to win over Mr. Qingyang. Poor people can be dealt with with money, and the connections in Marquis Jingyang's mansion can help him with the operation, so there is no need to worry that Li Yaonan will not come over.
However, they waited until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and still did not see Master Qingyang come to their door. Perhaps they did not care at first. After all, even if Li Yaonan had a name in front of the emperor, it was still unclear whether he could rise to the top.
But after the first month of the lunar year, there was still no sign of Li Yaonan. The people in Jingyang Marquis' Mansion were angry. It had nothing to do with the name Qingyang Jushi, but a matter of face. The brother-in-law was in the capital, but he didn't come to Yue's house to pay New Year's greetings. To put it mildly, it was that the brother-in-law didn't know etiquette. To put it more bluntly, it was that the brother-in-law looked down on them. How could the people in Jingyang Marquis' Mansion not be angry? They could turn the brother-in-law away, but if he didn't come to visit, it was his fault.
Li Yaonan was completely unaware of their anger. Many candidates for the imperial examinations had flocked to the capital recently. His mind was now completely focused on his schoolwork, and he had no mood to care about those miscellaneous matters. No matter how capable the Jingyang Marquis's family was, they could not cheat in the imperial examination. This time, he would definitely pass the exam.
Which man doesn't have ambition in his heart? He is no exception. He wants his husband to be an emperor, to have descendants, to stand out from the crowd, to stand higher and farther, and to never be bullied again.
Only Prince Lian felt regretful. Since Li Yaonan studied hard, he hadn't got the manuscript of the ancient novel for a long time, and he felt very sorry.
Although the emperor also liked ancient novels, he was a rational man after all. When he learned that Li Yaonan was studying hard, he was quite comforted and immediately ordered Prince Lian not to disturb him again.
Prince Lian was feeling very uncomfortable. It was clearly the Emperor who wanted the manuscript that made him force Li Yaonan. But how come the emperor turned out to be a good man and he became the villain
Therefore, the wise saying since ancient times is that you should never reason with the emperor, because what they say is always right. If you encounter a time when the emperor is wrong, then please follow the previous point.
Time flies, and the days passed slowly. In mid-February, Zhang Qixian came to Beijing with two servants, exhausted. Li Yaonan went to the dock to greet him in person.
The two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, and when they returned to the mansion, Lin Yixuan had already prepared a welcoming banquet. That night, the two brothers talked about their farewells and got drunk. It was after midnight before they let the servants help them go back to their rooms.
The next day, after Zhang Qixian paid a visit to Lin's mother, the two brothers closed the door and prepared for the exam. Even though Zhang Qixian was such a playful person, he was particularly serious this time.
After seeing the test questions given by Lin Yixuan, Zhang Qixian exclaimed that his brother-in-law was a talent. His impression of Lin Yixuan improved rapidly. If there was a tail behind him, it would definitely be swaying left and right. It must be that Li Yaonan couldn't stand it anymore, so he drove away this unreliable cousin. How could others even dream of marrying his husband
Lin Yixuan was very happy that her husband would be jealous from time to time, and she generously forgave her third cousin's impoliteness. She thought to herself very proudly, how could those test questions be bad? They were all questions set by the emperor in his previous life. Humph, it was a good thing for the third cousin.
Zhang Qixian didn't realize he had gotten a great deal and continued to work hard.
