Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 22

On the third day of their wedding, Lin Xuan accompanied his wife Xu Yueshan back home.

All the relatives of the Xu family saw the married Xu Yueshan's ruddy complexion, the corners of her eyes and the brows were full of sweetness, and also saw that Lin Xuan treated her extremely and considerately, so naturally they were all satisfied.

The marriage between Lin Xuan and Xu Yueshan of the Lin and Xu families received unanimous blessings from relatives and friends.Xu Yueshan was at Lin's house, as comfortable as at her own home.

When the festive atmosphere of Lin Xuan's wedding faded a little, Lin Ye obeyed his father's words and went to the Imperial College to continue his studies, while Lin Qi was studying at the Lin Mansion and waiting for the spring scientific examination soon.Nanxi Academy has also reopened, and Lin Yuan started to go to the academy by herself in a carriage every day to attend classes.

Above the court, the establishment of the crown prince was completely settled in March.The eldest son of the empress, Li Hao, who is also the eldest son of the emperor, was successfully established as the crown prince and became the heir apparent of a country.

Not long after, the marriage of the empress's other fifth prince was also finalized. It was decided that Xie Yulin, the daughter of Lieutenant Xie Zhechong, would get married in September this year.

Originally, since the crown prince had already been settled, at least the married princes should all be conferred the title of prince.But the emperor sent a message, asking his sons to stay in the capital temporarily so that he would not see anyone after thinking about it.The ministers couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. Seeing that the emperor insisted, they stopped mentioning this matter to make fun of it.

As a result, everything became stable again, and there was peace inside and outside the court.

Not long after, Lin Qi successfully participated in the examination amid Jiang's eager expectations.On the day when the results were released, Mrs. Jiang waited in the Lin Mansion for half a day, but no one came to announce the good news. Her heart changed from the scorching heat at the beginning to the coolness.

Jiang couldn't believe it would be such a result. How could her eldest son, who had won the exam at the age of 17, lose his name?
Jiang Shi, who was so worried, sent his servant to check again. After the servant came back, nothing changed, but Jiang Shi had to accept such a result.The more she thought about it, the more her liver hurt, her head became dizzy, and she almost passed out.Her good expectations, her good expectations, all came to naught at this moment.

Lin Qi saw that his mother's face was completely pale, and hurriedly helped her to the bed with her younger sister and lay down.Lying on the bed, Jiang stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, feeling hopeless.

Seeing Jiang like this, how could it be possible that Lin Qi and Lin Concubine, as children, would not persuade their mother well.It's better not to persuade her, but when she persuaded her, Jiang's tears fell as if she didn't want money.

Mrs. Jiang leaned sideways and took Lin Qi and Lin Yu's hands, weeping, and said self-pitying words, "It's all because of my mother, that's why Qi'er failed the ranking. It's all because of my mother."

"My dear, I'm sorry for my mother. I can't tell you a good marriage. It's all my mother's fault. I'm sorry for my mother..."

The more she said the tears flowed more fiercely, and Lin Yu couldn't wipe her tears with a handkerchief there.

Lin Qi and Lin Yu were at a loss when they heard her blame themselves so inexplicably.Lin Qi is not bad, but Lin Yu feels very uncomfortable, why can't she have a good marriage, isn't this cursing her, this is also a mother?

No matter how they thought about it, they had no reason not to persuade Mrs. Jiang.Lin Qi and Mrs. Jiang said, "Mother, it's because my son is not good, and my son didn't live up to my mother. Don't be sad, this time it's because my son didn't perform well. My son must continue to work hard, and I'll give you a champion in three years' time!"

Hearing Lin Qi's assurance, Mrs. Jiang almost sat up from the bed with joy in her heart.She looked at her son with tears in her eyes and asked again, "Is it true that you don't blame mother? Will Qi'er really come back as the champion?"

"Of course not, mother, don't you believe my words? Don't you know what my ability is?"

Lin Qi is only concerned with coaxing Jiang Shi right now, he doesn't care if he can do it by then, the left and right will coax him to talk about it now.If his mother continued to cry like this, he and his sister would have no choice but to kowtow to apologize.

Mrs. Jiang sounded very reasonable, she stopped her tears and looked at her daughter Lin Yu again.Lin Yu became more speechless in her heart, and said to her mother with a smile on her face, "Mother, no matter who my daughter marries, she will definitely not blame her. Mother must be doing it for my own good, right?"

At this time, another maid knocked on the door and said that it was the lady who had come.

Hearing that his sister-in-law was coming, Mrs. Jiang sat up from the bed, and eagerly commanded her daughter, "My niece, come on, quickly make up and put on my makeup."

Jiang Shi didn't cry at this moment, nor was she sad anymore, she was full of heart and mind that she would never let her sister-in-law see her like this, and she had to tidy herself up quickly.

Mrs. Lin and Wang sat in the living room for a while, and Lin Qi first came to entertain her and say hello to her.Mrs. Lin comforted him a few words, told Lin Qi not to be too sad, and pay more attention to his body, and told him that he could go to the Imperial College to study and try again in three years.

This is Lin Hai's confession, there is nothing wrong with Wang's, and if she doesn't care and looks like she doesn't care, she will inevitably be talked about, so she made a special trip here.

Mrs. Lin is the elder and Lin Qi's aunt.When Mrs. Lin talked to him, even if it was to comfort him, Lin Qi could only stand in front of Mrs. Wang and listen.

"Yes, my nephew knows it, and I understand it too. Thank you aunt for your concern."

When Mrs. Jiang was supported by Lin Yu, she was quite displeased when she heard her son talking to her sister-in-law so respectfully as soon as she walked outside the living room.She was displeased in her heart, but there was no expression on her face, she just walked into the living room with a smile, and said to Wang, "Why did sister-in-law come here specially?"

Mrs. Lin explained the purpose of her visit, and also comforted Mrs. Jiang, and also told Mrs. Jiang that she could send Lin Qi to the Imperial Academy to continue her studies.

Mrs. Jiang laughed when she heard this, and said to Mrs. Lin, "Brother and sister-in-law are naturally kind, and I understand that too. Qi'er also didn't perform well this time. After all, it's the first time, so stage fright is inevitable."

Mrs. Lin felt distressed for Mrs. Jiang when she heard these words, but in reality, how much did she have to do with her?If Jiang Shi didn't do this, she would really help, but Jiang Shi is like this, she really doesn't like to make fun of herself.

"Yes, just try harder next time." Mrs. Lin followed Jiang's words, then said a few more words, got up and left without waiting.

Seeing Mrs. Wang leaving, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her heart and lungs ached again. She couldn't help complaining to Lin Qi, "If you passed the exam today, how could you be made fun of like this? How could you be laughed at like this? Underestimated?"

"What kind of evil did I do?"

Jiang groaned and left without caring about Lin Qi and Lin Concubine. Lin Qi and Lin Concubine, who were left by Jiang in the living room, looked at each other helplessly and didn't know what to say.

Lin Yu felt that she should also comfort her brother, and said, "Brother, don't be too sad. If you prepare well for another three years, there will be no problem."

"Thank you, sister." Lin Qi just thanked her and said nothing else.

Because Lin Qi wanted to study in the mansion, Mrs. Lin allocated a room for Lin Qi to use as a study when preparing a place for them to live.Lin Qi had nothing to do at the moment, so he was going to stay in the study for a while.

Lin Qi stayed in the study for almost an incense stick, when a maid knocked on the door and said that she brought him tea and snacks.Hearing this voice, Lin Qi knew who the person was, and naturally let this maid in.

Qingyue is the maid that Jiang specially allocated to serve Lin Qi, and it is she who will bring tea and snacks to Lin Qi.Qingyue is not a beauty, otherwise Jiang would not let her come to serve Lin Qi.

But Qingyue is very handsome, the most important thing is that she has a graceful figure, exquisite and graceful, and she walks like a flower and a willow, graceful and graceful.

After closing the study door, Qingyue entered the inner room with her things.Lin Qi was sitting behind the desk, looking at her with a smile on his lips.

Qingyue also walked to the desk with a smile, put the tray in her hand on the desk, and said to Lin Qi in a low but soft voice, "I heard that the young master is in a bad mood, so I came here to give the young master some Food and drink, let's stop by to see the young master, but the young master... doesn't seem to be in a bad mood at all, it seems that I was fooled by a stinky girl today."

"I was in a bad mood at first, but seeing you, doesn't it make me feel better?" After Lin Qi said such a sentence ambiguously, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Qingyue's slender waist.

Qingyue reproached him and pushed him, but Lin Qi laughed again and took her into his arms.Lin Qi exerted a little force on his hand, and Qingyue half pushed and half sat down on his lap, and she didn't forget to push Lin Qi again.

Lin Qi grabbed her hand, then leaned close to Qingyue's cheek and sniffed lightly, closed his eyes, his face was full of enjoyment, and said with emotion, "It smells so good."

Qingyue spat at him, and said with some dissatisfaction, "The young master will fool the slaves, and the slaves have no spices today."

"Of course the fragrance from Yue'er's body smells good, how can ordinary spices compare to it?" Lin Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and finally let go of Qingyue's hands, but groped to other places restlessly.

Qingyue reached out her hand to stop Lin Qi's movements, "This is in the study." She bit her lower lip lightly, took a peek at Lin Qi and asked, "Young master will really treat the servants as he said..."

Probably because Qingyue asked this question too many times, before she finished speaking, Lin Qi had already given her the answer, "Of course, once a gentleman says something, it's hard to follow."

Qingyue took another peek at Lin Qi, and asked again, "Then what if...the slave girl is pregnant by accident..." She paused for a while when she asked Lin Qi, and after she finished asking, her heart was full of Uneasy, waiting for Lin Qi's reaction and answer.

Apparently, Lin Qi never thought that Qingyue would ask him such a question, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Of course it was born, it's our child." After he finished speaking, he stared at Qingyue looked at it and asked, "Are you pregnant?"

"How could it be, the servant girl is just asking." Qingyue waved her hands and said to Lin Qi.
