The next day, just after dawn, the voices of the maids could be heard outside.
Lin Yi tried her best to open her eyes, but her whole body ached again...
Could it be because of the snowball fight last night?
She vaguely remembered rolling a snowball and hitting Qin Shuihan, but unfortunately it didn't seem to hit him.
But Qin Shuihan's figure ducking down is so handsome!
Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and sat up. The corners of the quilt slid down, and he was completely naked!
"..."
"Qin Shuihan!"
no respond.
The maid outside the door opened the door and walked in.
"Princess, your Majesty got up early and went to practice martial arts. This servant will wait on the Princess to wash her hair."
Lin Yi immediately took out Luo Shan and put it on her body. The previous hickeys had not faded, so why were there so many new ones!
No wonder the more I sleep, the more tired I get. Last night I always felt like there was a heavy warm ball on my body that was very restless...
She sighed and was washed by the maid.
Although there is no need to put on makeup today, the outfit for attending the funeral is still very particular.
Lin Yi was a little speechless. From the inside to the outside, the combination of white and black was very particular. No wonder all the old ladies in the house helped to dress it up today.
The mourning clothes in front of me were really awkward. When I put them on, I realized that the cuffs were very short, and with the folded skirt, I didn't know if it was tattered or fashionable.
The old grandma directed the maid beside her to comb her hair into a special bun.
This was a special hairstyle for mourning, and then the maid inserted a pure white hairpin into Lin Yi's hair.
Lin Yi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that she had never seen this hairpin before.
Pure white, glossy and transparent.
She was curious as to why there were so many female accessories in Prince Han's mansion.
"This hairpin is...?"
"Sister Biyue sent it yesterday."
That must have been arranged by Qin Shuihan again!
Lin Yi looked in the mirror and looked carefully at the person in the mirror.
Why is he so kind and attentive to himself?
Is it because of this skin?
If it were his current appearance, would he still like her so much?
Just when Lin Yi was in a daze, Qin Shuihan walked in.
He was dressed in plain clothes and held a white fox fur coat in his hand. His hair was neatly tied into a bun and fixed with a white jade hair button.
She glanced at him faintly, she hadn't woken up yet, it was all his fault!
Qin Shuihan didn't notice her complaining eyes. He didn't have to go to court today. He got up early and finished all his official duties just to be by her side.
"This is the fox fur that was customized a few days ago. It's finally arrived. It's colder than yesterday, so wear this."
Lin Yi's eyes fell on the pure white fox fur coat in his hand, and she was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
So luxurious!
The moment she took the fox fur, Lin Yi felt that she had never touched such soft fur before. She couldn't help but rub it on her face. It was really soft and smooth.
Just how many foxes can be caught with such a long fur coat?
Seeing how she couldn't put it down, Qin Shuihan's eyes showed a smile.
Fortunately, I got it before the heavy snowfall. Lin Yi is so afraid of the cold, so she will definitely feel much warmer wearing this fur coat.
Sure enough, it snowed overnight. The snow on the road was more than half a meter high, and the air was drier and colder than yesterday.
The carriage drove slowly towards General Lin's Mansion.
In the car, Lin Yi was holding a delicate and small Tang Lao, leaning against Qin Shuihan and falling asleep.
Qin Shuihan hugged her and let her lean against him at the most comfortable angle.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Lin Yi raised his eyes and glanced at her. This was not nonsense. Didn't he know?
"You...have you slept well?"
Although the sleep time was shorter, Qin Shuihan was very satisfied with the joy in bed last night, and he slept soundly while holding her in his arms.
"Slept well."
He really slept soundly and did not hear Lin Yi's mysterious voice at all.
"..."
Seeing that Lin Yi remained silent, Qin Shuihan also closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
The two of them listened quietly to the sound of wheels rolling through the snow.
What Lin Yi said during the snowball fight last night suddenly flashed through Qin Shuihan's mind.
"Yiyi, you rarely see heavy snow?"
In fact, the first snow this year came later than usual.
This snow will keep falling, and the current level is far from being considered heavy snow.
Lin Yi was shocked and immediately realized that he had never seen it before, but he was a native of the capital. How could he not know about the heavy snow...
"...I was weak in previous years...I fell ill as soon as it snowed...So I can't remember how heavy it snowed..."
But although she looks weak, she is not weak. Will she miss the heavy snow every year?
Qin Shuihan felt a little confused, but he heard some sensitivity in Lin Yi's voice.
Her winter at the Lin Mansion must have been difficult.
Qin Shuihan couldn't help but feel distressed, and he hugged her a little tighter.
"It's snowing for a while, and it will continue until next spring. Then there will be plastic snow lions. If you like it, I will take you to see it."
Plastic snow lion? Unique entertainment activities in ancient times?
Lin Yi immediately sobered up a little. She curled her eyes and pursed her lips into a smile. She really wanted to experience ancient entertainment activities.
She looked up at him, meeting his downward gaze and the slightly raised corners of his mouth.
"Keep your word."
"certainly."
Qin Shuihan pinched her little face and couldn't help but bend down and kiss her forehead.
The carriage finally arrived at Lin Mansion.
The entire mansion was immersed in grief.
Butler Liu's face was always stained with tears. He had been the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion all his life, and had served Lin Weifu since he was a child.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it would be the white-haired person who sent the black-haired person.
He couldn't bear to look at the mourning hall, and he really couldn't understand why the master was burned to death when he was in good condition.
That day, so many servants in the mansion worked together to put out the fire, but no matter how much water was poured on it, the fire would never go out.
It was as if there was some force that prevented them from extinguishing the raging fire.
Butler Liu wiped away tears again.
Shen Ruzhi, who was standing at the edge of the mourning hall, had a calm look on her face. She was not wearing Zhansheng, but was wearing a black cloak that reached to her feet.
Although her undressed face looked old and solemn, in Lin Yi's eyes, she was much more energetic than the last time they met in the study.
Someone came to pay their respects, but Shen Ruzhi pretended to pick up the handkerchief and cover her face while crying, but there was no trace of sadness in her eyes.
The couple seemed to be separated from each other. I don't know if it was her sadness or Lin Weifu's sadness.
Lin Yi stopped looking at her, walked to the coffin, knelt down, kowtowed.
Today, she wore kneepads on her trouser legs. Unfortunately, she was kneeling in front of the mourning hall. She couldn't squeeze out a single tear, so she could only lower her head and try to look sad.
Although the air was filled with sadness, she had to swallow her pity.
As for Lin Weifu, he saved his life, but he didn't expect to be treated like that.
If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died in the cold water, or his innocence would have been taken away by Qin Huan!
Lin Yi couldn't help but clenched her fists. She took a deep breath and told herself not to think about this anymore, otherwise she wouldn't be able to put on a sad look on her face!
After kneeling for a moment, he heard Butler Liu's voice announcing Lin Xuan'er's arrival.
Lin Yi turned his head slightly and looked towards the door.
I saw that Lin Xuan'er was not wearing Zhansheng, just an ordinary filial piety dress.
Lin Yi glanced at the filial piety clothes on her body in confusion. Why were her clothes in tatters?
It's definitely not because Qin Shuihan has no money.
But no one would tell her this common sense, because Lin Xuan'er was pregnant with a child and was afraid of being overjoyed, so she didn't need to wear the heaviest cut among the five clothes.
Qin Huan, dressed in white, stood beside Lin Xuan'er, his eyes always falling on Lin Yi.
Sensing his gaze, Lin Yi immediately stood up with a look of disgust on her face. She completely ignored his presence and walked quickly to Qin Shuihan.
After Lin Xuan'er finished her salute, she walked up to Lin Yi. Her face was haggard and did not look like that of a pregnant woman.
"younger sister."
Lin Yi sighed in her heart. Although she didn't know what she went through in Prince Huan's mansion, she really had no interest in asking. She didn't want to talk, but just lowered her eyes and nodded.
Lin Xuan'er didn't speak again, but there were waves of hatred deep in her eyes.
Lin Yi turned her back to them and held Qin Shuihan's arm tightly.
Qin Shuihan stared at Qin Huan gloomily, with a look that could kill someone.
Qin Huan looked at him indifferently, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The four of them stood there quietly.
In the eyes of the guests, they looked like a harmonious picture.
The two daughters of the Lin family are both married to princes, and one is still a royal concubine.
General Lin died with his eyes closed.
"Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law."
Qin Huan broke the silence and said hello politely.
He has been hypocritical for so long that he doesn't even know who he is.
Lin Yi still ignored him, but lowered her head and held Qin Shuihan tightly.
Qin Huan continued to have a faint smile on his face. He avoided Qin Shuihan's sharp eyes and looked down at Lin Yi.
She was still the woman in his mind, clear and charming, but there was a hint of blue in her eye circles. It must be that Lin Weifu's death had a deep impact on her.
If he knew that those light cyan dark circles were a gift from his fifth brother, I don't know what he would think.
Lin Xuan'er looked at him with despair.
hypocritical!
That day, after Lin Xuan'er was sent to Prince Huan's Mansion by someone sent by Qin Shuihan, she was immediately taken to the courtyard to the west of Prince Huan's Mansion.
She passed by the entrance of the courtyard on the east side and saw that there were still colored lanterns that had not been completely removed. It must have been the courtyard used to welcome the bride.
Since it's not for myself, it's for Lin Yi.
Lin Xuan'er kept an eye out and wanted to see what the courtyard to the east was like, so she sneaked in when no one was around.
It turns out that the courtyard is so big and the scenery is pleasant. Just from the Champs Elysees residence, you can see the thought that went into its construction.
Frustrated, she retreated to her yard. There was nothing in the yard except a small pond, not even a rockery.
At that moment, she was completely heartbroken.
She hates Lin Yi, hates Qin Huan, and hates this world.
Lin Yi tugged on Qin Shuihan's sleeve, signaling that he wanted to leave.
She never wanted to say a word to Qin Huan in her whole life, and she felt disgusted by being in the same space.
Qin Shuihan calmed down and looked at Lin Yi with tender eyes.
"Let's go back home."
"Well, I'm going to say hello to Aunt Shen."
Lin Yi pulled Qin Shuihan and walked towards Shen Ruzhi.
"Aunt Shen, I express my condolences and take good care of myself. Once my father leaves, the Lin family will be relying on you."
"...That's...you should also take good care of yourself."
Shen Ruzhi had already made a plan. The Lin Mansion was already in decline. What else could be taken care of? As soon as the funeral was over, she was going to sell everything in the Lin Mansion and go back to her parents' home!
Now that the worship was over, Lin Yi bowed to Shen Ruzi and exited the mourning hall.
Qin Shuihan took Lin Yi and left the Lin Mansion.
Some things, once done, there is no chance of regret.
Looking at their retreating figures, Qin Huan laughed at herself. She didn't even hate herself, only a look of indifference.
Lin Xuan'er on the side saw all this, and she felt extremely humiliated.
This is his father's mourning hall, and the man in front of him will always only have Lin Yi in his heart!
Lin Xuan'er raised her hand and slapped Qin Huan angrily.
This sound was clear and loud.
All the guests in the mourning hall fell silent and stared at the two of them blankly.
"If you like her so much, why don't you snatch her away?"
Qin Huan's face turned blue and white. For the first time in his life, he regretted why he married such a woman.
At first, she thought she was Lin Yi's sister, but later she became pregnant with her own child.
But in front of so many people, or in the Lin Mansion, he had to lose face. No matter how good he was at pretending, he waved his sleeves angrily and walked out.
"Stop! Qin Huan, stop!"
Lin Xuan'er was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Seeing this, Shen Ruzhi immediately stepped forward and grabbed her. He really didn't teach his daughter well and would only be embarrassed.
"Xuan'er! This is your father's mourning hall!"
Lin Xuan'er felt very aggrieved. She didn't know when, but everything went wrong, as if everything she did was wrong.
She finally couldn't help crying loudly.
The onlookers in the mourning hall suddenly understood that the Lin family's housework was so complicated.
The guests who had just come in to worship could not help but sigh.
After all, she was the apple of Lin Weifu's eye. After her father passed away, Miss Lin cried so sadly. It was really a deep love between father and daughter.
