Lu Bochu frowned. The Lin family's uncle had good taste, but he didn't take a shower to look after himself. How could he be his concubine even if An Qienhou Mansion looked down upon her as the mistress of the house?
This man was overestimating his own abilities. He asked, "It seems like this situation has been bothering me for a long time, right?"
"My servant checked it out and found out that it was a recent matter. This matter was the Lin family's shaved head and a hot head. Madam An didn't pay attention to the Lin family at all. Now that the Minghua girl has passed away, there must be no problem. "
Lu Bochu listened with no emotion on his face. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
The letter from the palace came, and the messenger rushed to deliver it. Lu Bochu opened it and read it immediately after getting it.
The letter was written by Emperor Changshun himself. It talked about some family affairs and palace affairs. In addition, it urged him to find a princess quickly so that he and the queen could feel at ease.
In the letter, Emperor Changshun also said that if there is no candidate for the princess, he can first find a concubine to take care of him. If someone takes care of him, the queen will not be so worried.
This kind of content appears in every letter. Lu Bochu is numb when he reads it, and his heart is completely unmoved.

Lin Zhehua returned to the Lin Mansion with a nose full of ashes. He took a sip of tea with a sullen face, wondering what the wise king meant.
He was the magistrate of the underworld and refused to receive him the first time he came to visit him. Although he heard that the wise king was not sociable, he still had to live with it in terms of face. I didn't expect that this wise king would not give anyone face.
Mrs. Zhu had just had a meal at her son Lin Juze's house, and when she came back she saw her husband looking unhappy.
She thought the Xian Wang was not showing favor to Lin Zhehua, so she comforted him: "Master, relax, the Xian Wang has this kind of temperament, haven't you already heard about it?"
Lin Zhehua's face turned even darker. He took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't even enter Prince Xian's Mansion!"
Zhu was surprised and felt a little incredible, but then she thought of something and said: "This wise king has just arrived. He may be tired of traveling and traveling, but he probably wants to wait a few days to see people. He is the prince, and there are many people who want to see him. If this happens every day It is indeed difficult to meet everyone, and besides, this wise king himself does not like to have relationships."
These words happened to be heard by Lin Yanyun. She heard that Lin Zhehua was back and couldn't wait to know something about Prince Xian. Unexpectedly, her father didn't even enter Prince Xian's palace.
Lin Yanyun held his breath and muttered: "It's really hard to meet this powerful person."
Lin Zhehua was just sulking. How could he dare to be angry with the wise king? He glanced at Lin Yanyun and said, "Don't worry, the old lady of the Dong Mansion will celebrate her birthday in a few days. This old lady served the Queen Mother years ago. The wise king will definitely pass by."
Lin Yanyun was overjoyed: "Really? My daughter needs to be well prepared. The prince is so heroic and majestic that girls will definitely like him. I must be more beautiful than anyone else."
Mrs. Zhu was also delighted and couldn't miss this great opportunity.
Lin Zhehua suddenly thought of something and asked: "Where's Ju Ze, why haven't I seen him in the past two days?"
Zhu sighed and said, "I'm doing it again, I want to take a concubine again."
Lin Zhehua thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that he wanted to take a concubine. He said casually: "Just take it, what's the point of worrying about this small matter."
Zhu took a sip of tea and said with a look of displeasure: "How can he still be useful if he can get what he wants? What he likes is Lady An who lives in Linghan Temple. That lady is an abandoned woman. Although she is tall and weak, She's pretty, but she's a concubine and an abandoned wife. Ze'er has a lot of thoughts, but that abandoned wife has high standards!"
Lin Zhehua thought thoughtfully, Mrs. An? Isn't she the woman who came to check his pulse a month ago?
The woman had superb medical skills. Lin Zhehua had the flu and took medicine for two months but it didn't work. Later, he heard that there was a woman in Linghan Temple who was very good at treating illnesses.
At that time, Mrs. An came to the Lin Mansion. Lin Zhehua did not expect that his son would have such thoughts.
When Lin Yanyun heard that it was Mrs. An, she complained quite a bit and said, "That woman, she looks like that. She is an abandoned woman and she is still proud. She is served by two maids."
Mrs. Zhu was interested and had a gossipy look on her face: "I heard that Mrs. An's brother has a good relationship with the Xianwang. Her natal family is also well-known in Beijing. One of her eldest sisters even married a big businessman. She is worse off. She is a The concubine married the half-dead prince of the Hou family and was abandoned again."
Lin Yanyun was smug and had a sense of superiority: "She is a concubine. Who would take her seriously? Letting her be the concubine of our Lin family is just flattering her. She is not happy yet. What a bitch." You don’t even want to take a dip in your urine to see what kind of virtue you have!”
Lin Zhehua thought deeply and felt that this was a good thing. Mrs. An had learned medical skills and came to the Lin Mansion. At least the Lin Mansion would be more convenient for medical treatment in the future. Secondly, she heard that her brother treated her well, and her brother would come to Jingyang in the next year. By building canals with King Xian, if we make good use of this relationship, the relationship between Lin Mansion and Prince Xian's Mansion will naturally become much closer.
Lin Zhehua said: "Take Juze to Linghan Temple in two days to pray and say hello to Master Enchang. I will help Ze'er with this matter. If Mrs. An comes to the Lin Mansion, it will be beneficial to the Lin Mansion but not harmful."
Mrs. Zhu listened to her husband in everything: "Yes, sir."
Lin Yanyun didn't care. Anyway, An Qien came to the Lin Mansion to be a concubine. How could a concubine live a good life?
........
When Qingbi came back carrying firewood, she saw a little fairy coming out of the house. She knew that something bad was going on!
After washing her hands and going back to the house, she heard Bai Lu complaining: "The Lin family is so shameless. If my wife doesn't go, they will come to our door and use Mrs. Enchang's money to oppress us! What do you mean by just going over to accompany us? I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, I'll ask my wife to help me."
An Qien had a pale look on her face and was dressed in plain clothes. She didn't even have a hairpin on her head, and she didn't even apply rouge or gouache. She didn't know why the old man of the Lin family still couldn't forget her when she looked like this!
Master Enchang had to give her face, so she had no choice but to go.
Minghua spoke: "If you don't want to go, madam, you don't have to go. If you inform the prince about this, the Lin family will definitely not dare to think about it anymore."
An Qien smiled faintly and shook her head. She couldn't rely on others for everything when she was away from home, and the prince would be here for several more years. She couldn't cause trouble to the prince.
"It's not a big deal, I can still handle it myself."
Minghua couldn't say anything else.
An Qien brought Bai Lu, a maid, there. She was now an ordinary lady. Bringing three maids there would attract criticism.
When they arrived at the prayer hall, An Qien and Bai Lu were standing outside, when three members of the Lin family arrived.
An Qien put her hands together and greeted Zhu: "Mrs. Lin."
Lin Juyi's eyes sparkled when he saw An Qi'en, and he was extremely happy...
