Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 139

The steward's words made everyone's minds tense up again, even more tense than before.Although nervous, but not to the point of panic, Mrs. Lin told the housekeeper to pay attention to the situation ahead, and report back if there was any movement, and ordered the children to be taken to the inner room.

The court coup may affect everyone in the Lin family and may be dangerous, but no one wants to escape at this time.For Mrs. Lin, Lin Yuan, Xu Yueshan and the others, since Lin Hai, Lin Xuan and others are still here, they will not abandon them.If something really happened, there was no way to escape; if nothing happened, then there was no need to run away.What's more, Lin Hai, the head of the family, hadn't said this, so it was impossible for them to choose to escape.

However, this does not make people not afraid, and there is no way to eliminate the tension and anxiety in everyone's hearts.So when someone came to make trouble, after all, there was no way to ignore it.

The little ones don't know what happened, but they also know that the butler's haste is different from his usual calm appearance. The younger ones can't care about these things, but the older ones panicked and grabbed their mother's hand .Lin Xi comforted his younger brother with his mother and aunts, and coaxed them to stay in the room, but he still stayed in the front hall, unwilling to be like his younger brothers.

According to Mrs. Lin, Lin Xi, even as the eldest grandson, is only nine years old. In this situation, he still has to avoid it.Xu Yueshan and the other three daughter-in-laws did not dare to disobey their mother-in-law's wishes. Xu Yueshan's mother also had selfish intentions, so she didn't want her young son to see something too dangerous, but Lin Xi was helpless here.

It is not difficult to deal with a young boy like Lin Xi, even if he is knocked out and carried inside, the goal can be achieved.As the eldest brother, Lin Xi, who seemed much more stable than his younger brothers on weekdays, was really stubborn and had the energy to mess around. He grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and said in a loud voice, "I am the eldest brother." , I know martial arts, and I want to protect my younger brothers."

Lin Yuan actually felt that there was nothing wrong with Lin Xi staying here. The most important thing was that Lin Xi himself had this idea, but she also knew that her sister-in-law was distressed, and her mother didn't agree, so she didn't say anything. Just let Lin Xi hold her hand.Xu Yueshan looked at Mrs. Lin all of a sudden. She was pleased that her eldest son had such a heart, but worried that her mother-in-law would really let Lin Xi stay.

After listening to Lin Xi's words, Mrs. Lin just showed a loving smile and said with a smile, "Brother Xi has grown up and knows how to protect his younger brothers." Seeing her grandmother let go of such words, Lin Xi was also very happy for a while.Mrs. Lin beckoned him to go over, and he walked over unprepared.Mrs. Lin touched Lin Xi's head and smiled kindly, but her hand slipped to the back of Lin Xi's neck.

Lin Yuan originally looked at Lin Xi, then turned to look at her own mother, but she happened to see her mother knocking Lin Xi out with a sword in her hand.Lin Xi had a joyful smile on his face one moment, and fell into Mrs. Lin's arms the next moment.Xu Yueshan hurried over to take Lin Xi, but her heart was sour.

"Bring Brother Xi inside." Madam Lin said, and Xu Yueshan hurriedly carried him inside.It's just that Lin Xi is nine years old, and Xu Yueshan can't hug her by herself, so Lin Yuan's second sister-in-law helped her and followed her into the inner room.

Lin Yuan walked up to her mother, took Madam Lin's arm, and called out, "Mom." Madam Lin patted the back of Lin Yuan's hand on her arm and said, "It's okay." Yuan Yuan nodded and responded, but felt that her mother was not as calm as she seemed.

Not long after, the housekeeper came back again and reported to everyone that there were several waves of people coming one after another, and the soldiers outside were a little bit overwhelmed now.Mrs. Lin asked if there were any casualties. The steward said that someone was injured, but no one was killed. He also said that some servants in the mansion were also blocked by outsiders.

The housekeeper went out again, and everyone still had to wait, but now it seemed that they were about to be unstoppable, and those people would come in sooner or later.The sky was slowly getting dark, but no one was in the mood for dinner, but it was prepared and sent over, so that the children could all eat something.Lin Xi couldn't wake up for a while, so she let the kitchen warm a meal.

While the children were eating, the outside of the hall finally gradually became noisy.The butler's face changed, and he ran in panting heavily, and managed to speak out but it was a bit vague.Lin Yuan took a moment to distinguish before she realized that what the housekeeper said was, "His Royal Highness is here."

Everyone else reacted to this sentence, and they were a little frightened for a while.It would be understandable for anyone else to come, but the crown prince came in person... This makes people unable to avoid being frightened.They don't know the specific situation outside, they don't know how serious it is, and they don't know what made the prince come to Lin's mansion.

Only Mrs. Lin noticed that her daughter let go of her arm when she heard this, and the next moment Lin Yuan turned her gaze to the butler standing at the door of the hall.Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter, vaguely feeling that the little daughter knew something that none of them knew.

The noisy sounds from far and near soon reached the outside of the hall, and there was a commotion in the yard.The door of the main hall is still open, originally only a few lanterns were lit and it was very dark, now many soldiers poured in with torches, illuminating the outside, allowing people to see the situation outside clearly very clear.

Serious-looking soldiers in armor stood in two rows, forced to stand out in a way, and the crown prince in bright yellow clothes walked out from the middle of the road lined up by the soldiers.It's just that Lin Yuan and the others were standing in the hall, and there were still some soldiers protecting them outside the hall to prevent the prince and the others from approaching, but compared to the number of soldiers brought by the prince, after all, the strength was so different that it was difficult to resist.

The sky has completely darkened, but this place is extremely bright, the flames of the torches make people feel trembling, the prince looked at the few people who were still resisting not far away, raised his eyelids slightly, and there was A dog-legged eunuch said in a shrill voice, "His Royal Highness is arriving, Mrs. Lin hastened to kneel down to greet her!"

Madam Lin frowned, and was about to go out, but Xu Yueshan and the others stayed inside for the time being.Lin Yuan raised her hand and pressed her mother's shoulder, and said, "Mother, it's okay, it's okay, my daughter can go out. It's the same when I go out. You can rest here for a while, and when your daughter comes back, she will be back soon." .”

"No." Madam Lin dismissed Lin Yuan's words without even thinking about it. There was no way she would let Lin Yuan go out to meet the so-called prince by herself! "His Royal Highness arrives, and Mother goes out and kneels to greet her. This is the etiquette, and it should be done. You stay here, and it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Yuan didn't say much to her mother, so she looked at her elder sister-in-law Xu Yueshan, then at the other two sister-in-laws, and said, "Mother will be taken care of by the sisters-in-law first." Lin Yuan's sister-in-laws They understood, and they all walked to Madam Lin's side, with the intention of suppressing Madam Lin if Madam Lin messed up.

But after all, they felt...it was not appropriate for the sister-in-law to run out like this, and for a while they were not sure what to do next.Xu Yueshan glanced at her two younger brothers and sisters, then at her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "Mother, I'll go out with Sister Yuan to have a look. No matter who comes, I still have to talk about etiquette. How dare you take us."

Lin Yuan thought about it, but she didn't let her sister-in-law be with her.Lin Yuan said to Mrs. Lin again, "Mother, sister-in-law is with my daughter, don't worry. I take Qinglian and Qingping with me, it's really all right." Firstly, it was her daughter who suddenly returned to the Lin residence. One thing, and the other is her daughter's reaction when she learned that the prince is coming.Now that Lin Yuan said that, Mrs. Lin was persuaded, thinking that maybe her daughter had other plans.

After a while, Lin Yuan and Xu Yueshan walked out of the main hall hand in hand, and stood behind the row of soldiers.The leader saw Lin Yuan and Xu Yueshan coming out, so he said to them, "Madam, please wait inside. It's so noisy outside, it's inevitable that it will disturb the two ladies."

Xu Yueshan said it's okay, the soldier glanced at Xu Yueshan and Lin Yuan, didn't say anything, just stepped aside.The prince noticed someone coming out not far away, and the eunuch standing next to him immediately said loudly, "Since everyone has come out, why don't you come to salute His Highness the Prince? Could it be that you are contemptuous of His Royal Highness?"

The soldiers stepped back a little so that Lin Yuan and Xu Yueshan could see the prince, and then they could see the eunuch beside the prince.Xu Yueshan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Yuan who pulled her sleeve lightly. Lin Yuan stood beside her, ignored the eunuch's words, and said, "His Royal Highness brought such a group of people Forcibly breaking into the Lin Mansion, I don't know which law you are following?"

The eunuch who was ignored immediately jumped up, "You little woman, you don't kneel down and salute when you see His Highness the Crown Prince, yet you dare to question His Highness so boldly? How can His Highness allow you to intervene in his actions? "The prince old god stood by and listened, neither annoyed by Lin Yuan's words nor frowned by the eunuch's words.

Lin Yuan still pretended that she hadn't seen the eunuch, and said to the prince, "My wife has always known that if you encounter someone who breaks into someone else's house, the best solution is three words." Here, there is no further talk.The prince also seemed to be happy to play with her, so he asked, "Which three words."
