Lu Changlian breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched out his hand to scratch his head.
"I thought that after seeing Xinghe's mansion, my parents would find our yard dilapidated."
"How many people in the world can be as good as Xinghe?" Tian Chunyan held his hand with a loving face and said, "My mother is very satisfied that you can come back from the battlefield safely. Now my son not only has Even though you are an official, you have also built a house in the capital, my mother is proud of you."
As soon as the words came out, not only Tian Chunyan herself, but also several blood relatives in the courtyard had red eyes.
Lu Changlian sniffed.
"In the past few years, my parents have been worried."
Tian Chunyan raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Now you are twenty-two years old. Huiyun has been waiting for you for three years. From sixteen to nineteen, you have passed the most suitable age for marriage. You must treat her well in the future. If your mother knows that you have bullied her, She, my mother, will definitely be the first one not to spare you."
Lu Changlian nodded hurriedly, with a serious expression on his face.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will treat her well."
Tian Chunyan looked at him with a smile.
"When I came here before, my mother asked the gentleman in Nanping Town that June 12th is a good day. You and Huiyun's wedding should be scheduled for June 12th. After all, we won't invite anyone else, just us. Everyone is ready too.”
Lu Changlian nodded.
"Okay, I'll ask Huiyun later. If she has no objection, then we'll set it on June 12th."
Tian Chunyan joked like a joke, "Hey! You have to ask your wife for her opinion on the day when my mother is looking for a husband. You haven't even gotten married yet, and your heart is already towards your wife?"
Lu Changlian scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Didn't Mom just tell me to treat Huiyun well? Should I listen to Mom or not?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone in the courtyard burst out laughing after hearing Lu Changlian's words.
…
As soon as June arrived, Lu Xinghe began to go to the Imperial College to take up his post.
Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan are now a Wu scholar and a Wen scholar. As soon as they arrived in the capital, they were arranged by Lu Xinghe to study in the academy in the capital. They could only come back a few days a month and stayed in the academy on weekdays. .
Chu Yue accompanied the elders of the Lu family to visit the capital for three to five days. Because they were afraid of delaying her busy work in the medical clinic, the four elders persuaded her to go on her own. They could also entertain themselves at home.
Chu Yue couldn't resist a few people, so she returned to the medical center for consultation.
In the backyard of the medical center, Uncle Lu glanced in the direction of Chu Yue, but hesitated to speak.
"Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Lu tried his best to control his emotions and asked quietly, "I heard that the princess didn't come a few days ago because her husband's family came to the capital?"
Chu Yue smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I may not spend much time in the hospital in the next few days. There are still many guests at home."
Uncle Lu said oh twice and went back to the utility room.
By now, his appearance has changed. The Lu Youchuan had already died the year he was pushed off the cliff.
Now that his wife has remarried, his son's career is smooth, his life is satisfactory, and his parents are healthy. There is no trace of him in their lives, so don't bother him anymore.
Don't get into trouble because of him.
But he had previously promised Chu Yue to drink their wedding wine.
He will leave after August 15th.
Now that I have learned something from Chu Yue, even if I leave, I can still make a living outside, and that is enough.
The days seemed to be back to what they were before, but whenever she returned home and saw the family laughing and playing, Chu Yue felt a little warmer in her heart.
She still likes the harmonious and lively feeling when the family gathers together.
The grievances between the Lin family and the Chen family were also clearly investigated. Chen Yiliu had already had a crush on someone back then, and the two had a secret pregnancy. When the child was found out, he had already been married to the Lin family.
However, when they got engaged, they agreed to postpone the marriage for two years.
For the sake of the reputation of the Chen family and Chen Yiliu, the Chen family's parents and Chen Yiliu planned this drama and deceived the Lin family for five years.
Now that the truth was revealed, Shangshu Lin and Mrs. Lin were so angry that they directly brought the matter to the Holy Lord and asked Gu Jinghe to make the decision for them.
Chen's father had no idea how to teach his daughter, so he teamed up with her to deceive her. Even though she was dismissed from office, Chen Yiliu was caught and was originally about to be beaten to death with a stick. Lin Haonan saved her life at the critical moment.
But when he stopped, Chen Yiliu also lost half his life.
"You didn't want to marry me back then, just tell me directly. I'm not an unreasonable person, but why did you want to tarnish my reputation like that?"
Chen Yiliu lay on the torture bench, his pale and chapped lips opening and closing.
"My parents ordered the matchmaker to say that I have never been in contact with you, and I thought that you would not disobey your parents for the sake of marriage. Furthermore, getting pregnant before marriage will bring disgrace to the reputation of my Chen family. How could my father let me do this?" Tell the truth?"
She couldn't help herself at the time.
In this world, a woman's innocence is more important than her life.
Lin Haonan sighed and cupped his fists towards Gu Jinghe.
"Please, Your Majesty, spare her life."
Gu Jinghe asked quietly, "She caused you to be misunderstood by people in Beijing for five years, don't you hate her?"
Lin Haonan smiled and shook his head.
"When I first heard the news, I should have been angry. Now I just feel calm inside. Haonan heard that Chen has two children. The eldest son is less than five years old, and the younger daughter is just over two years old. They are childish and innocent. If not, My mother is taking care of me, and I’m afraid life will be difficult in the future.”
"Since you don't care, there seems to be no need for me to punish her or not."
Gu Jinghe looked at Chen Yiliu.
"As the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, you lost your virginity before marriage and had an affair with someone else. It is really offensive to the morals. Because the Lin family is kind-hearted, I will spare your life for the time being, but your children and descendants will not be allowed to enter the capital for three generations. As an official, not only that, you must not miss any of the betrothal gifts from the Lin family and return them in full."
Chen Yiliu spent the rest of his life, feeling only lucky in his heart.
But when he heard that the betrothal gift was to be returned, his face suddenly turned pale.
In the past, because the Chen family provided financial aid from time to time, she was pampered and lived a carefree life.
Now that her father has been dismissed from office and the Chen family tree has collapsed, it is impossible to have any money left to support her.
If her little possessions were used to repay the betrothal gift, there would be nothing left.
How will you live in the future?
But in her current situation, begging for mercy was asking for death, so she had no choice but to lie on the ground and kowtow.
"The civilian woman thanked Your Majesty."
"The person you should thank the most is Mr. Lin."
After Gu Jinghe finished speaking, he turned around and left the execution ground.
Seeing Gu Jinghe leaving, Chen Yiliu hurriedly dragged his seriously injured body and knelt down in the direction of Lin Haonan.
"Master Lin, I really can't make up for the betrothal gift. The Lin family has a big business, can you accommodate me..."
However, before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Haonan say coldly, "Ms. Chen, I am showing great mercy by allowing Your Majesty to spare your life today, but the betrothal gift belongs to my family. Since you and I have There is no engagement, so the betrothal gift should be returned!"
After saying that, Chen Yiliu was left dumbfounded and turned to leave.
After all, Chen Yiliu had been tortured just now, and now he couldn't hold on any longer. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
Lin Shangshu was not easy to fool. After Lin Haonan returned to the mansion, he sent several guards with high martial arts skills to watch Chen Yiliu, vowing to get all the betrothal gifts back to the Lin family before he would give up.
It's not because of the money, the key is that the bad breath in my heart is hard to get rid of.
