Lin Sheng planned to go to the medical clinic early. Just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by her uncle.
"Sheng'er, what do you think of me wearing this dress?" Xie Guang asked loudly.
Lin Sheng praised: "Very energetic."
"I like it very much. You are very thoughtful. Your aunt was always praising you last night."
Everyone liked it, and Lin Sheng was also very happy.
It was said that when Liu Shaopu gave her clothes yesterday, although Lin Sheng was a little touched, she still couldn't help but complain that he was nosy.
What if everyone is not satisfied?
Now it seems that he is completely overthinking, and Liu Shaopu is not a young man for nothing.
Xie Guang looked at Sheng'er and became more and more pleased.
The son went to the Central Plains to make a living and came back only a few times a year. Fortunately, Sheng'er knew how to be filial to them.
He and sister Yunyi were cousins. They played together when they were young. After they got married, they lived far away from each other. In addition, there were many things at home that needed to be taken care of, so they gradually stopped contacting each other.
If Yunyi hadn't come to him with tears on her face, Xie Guang wouldn't have known that his brother-in-law was gone.
In fact, Xie Guang was very hesitant when Sister Yunyi came to him. He was in an average situation and had to support his family. If there were two more people in the family, the burden would become heavier.
And what if the lady doesn’t want to?
Thinking of their childhood friendship and the care Sister Yunyi had taken for him, Xie Guang finally decided to take them in. He knew that his wife was dissatisfied, and although she didn't say it, she would show her face from time to time. Sister Yunyi also noticed this.
She didn't want to live and eat for free, so she did her best to do all the housework. Upon seeing this, the dissatisfaction in Madam's heart gradually subsided.
Although Xie Guang couldn't bear it, he didn't make any statement. Maybe deep down in his heart, he thought that this was what Sister Yunyi should do.
Sheng'er is a well-behaved and sensible child, and Xie Guang likes her very much.
He wanted to help Sheng'er find a good family, and Mr. Liu was the most satisfactory candidate.
The person who hopes most to facilitate this marriage is not him or his cousin, but his wife.
The madam kept asking him and sister Yunyi to persuade Sheng'er. She also kept saying that there were many girls queuing up to marry Mr. Liu, and they must not miss such a good opportunity.
Xie Guang understood that what Madam wanted was that if she could become a relative, their family would follow Rongguang and their lives would be better.
Not only Madam, he also has this idea.
People, always have to be realistic.
Xie Guang began to persuade Sheng'er again, and the words were still the same. Lin Sheng lowered her head and listened silently. Lin Sheng was much more reserved when facing her uncle. She could not feel as comfortable as she did around her mother.
After his uncle finished speaking, Lin Sheng replied obediently as usual: "I know uncle, I will think about it carefully."
Then she said: "I have something urgent now. Master is still waiting for me. Uncle, I have to leave first."
Lin Sheng knew that she could not escape forever. One day she would have to face this problem.
In fact, she was not depressed because they wanted to match her with Liu Shaopu. The key was that Lin Sheng knew that she would get married sooner or later for her mother.
But if she can't marry the person she wants to marry, what's the point of her marriage?

When he got up, Brother Tianxing and Brother Tianxun were not in the Li Mansion. Zheng Zhen felt very disappointed. What if it always happens like this in the future?
Just when Zheng Zhen was worried, Lin Zai suddenly walked towards her and they said hello. Zheng Zhen continued to sit there in a daze. Lin Zai would not take good care of her anyway.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually took the initiative and said: "Miss Zheng, the third prince came to see me specially when he left. He wanted me to introduce some people to you, so as not to make you bored."
"Did Brother Tianxing tell you?" Zheng Zhen said in surprise.
"That's right! Miss Zheng, the third prince is very interested in you."
Zheng Zhen felt warm in his heart. It was probably because of his unintentional complaint yesterday that Brother Tianxing went to find Miss Lin.
But thinking of brother Tianxun, Zheng Zhen felt unhappy again.
Brother Tianxun is just a big piece of wood.
~~~
The place where Lin Zai took Zheng Zhen was the medical center where Lin Sheng was.
Seeing that Lin was busy, Shi Heng asked Lin Sheng to come over, "Sheng'er, take Miss Lin and the others to sit upstairs. I'm here."
"good."
It turned out that she was the person Lin Zai wanted to introduce to him.
Zheng Zhen remembered Lin Sheng, but it seemed that the other party did not recognize him.
Even so, she still asked eagerly: "Do you still remember me? We met once at Granny Cui's house. My name is Zheng Zhen, what is your name?"
"Lin Sheng." Compared to Zheng Zhen's warm tone, Lin Sheng was much colder.
When she heard that the other party was the group traveling with Yue Rushuang, she felt a knot in her heart.
"Miss Lin Sheng, Miss Lin said that you are a very nice person. She also said that the two of us are very similar and can become friends. I am not familiar with the Western Region, and they both have something to do. Miss Lin said that if I am fine, I can come to the hospital to see you. , I’ll help out by the way, so I’ll be grateful to you for taking care of me during these days.”
It won't take long for them to become familiar with each other.
For her sister's sake, Lin Sheng couldn't refuse. She didn't expect Zheng Zhen to be of any help, as long as it didn't cause any trouble.
"Sister, let me tell Master first."
"Okay! I'll go down with you." After finishing speaking, Lin looked at Zheng Zhen: "Miss Zheng, I won't accompany you as I have something else to do. You sit down for a while. Sheng'er will come up to you soon. If you need anything, You can tell her that if you want to go back anytime, just tell Sheng'er and she will send you back to Li Mansion."
"I understand, Miss Lin, thank you." Zheng Zhen said with sincere gratitude.
She was happy to have something to do so that she wouldn't be bored staying alone in the house.
"You're welcome."
Lin Sheng was still a little worried that the master would not agree, because they were sometimes very busy. Zheng Zhen looked like a rich lady and knew nothing. If there was any trouble, wouldn't they be even more busy!
But Lin Sheng soon realized that he was worrying too much.
Shi Heng agreed without much thought, "It's good. It's more lively when there are more people. Miss Lin, please let her come here with peace of mind."
"thank you."
"You're welcome, you're so kind to Sheng'er, I should be the one thanking you!"
"Master, sister, you two should stop thanking me all the time!"
"I'm not polite to anyone who looks like you!" Shi Heng scolded with a smile, but his face was full of doting.
Lin Zai was also amused by Sheng'er. When she saw that the matter was settled, she said, "Doctor Shi, Sheng'er, you are busy, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
"Okay! Sheng'er, go see Miss Lin off."
Lin Sheng followed Lin Zai out of the hospital. Not long after, Lin Zai said, "Go back. I have to go to the village later. You don't need to pick me up. There are people in the house following me, so don't worry."
"Okay sister, there are more thieves recently, you must be careful."
"Don't worry. Although the guards in the palace are not as good as you in martial arts, there is absolutely no problem in protecting my safety."
"Sister, please stop teasing me." Lin Sheng was a little embarrassed, "As for Miss Zheng, you can rest assured, I will take good care of her."
"Miss Zheng is innocent and kind, and has no scheming intentions. I leave her to you."
Lin Zai looked at Sheng'er, hesitant at first, but finally decided to tell everything that had happened.
She has the right to know and should know!
Lin Sheng pinched himself hard, trying to use the pain to wash away the fluctuations in his heart.
It turns out it was all a misunderstanding.
It turned out that that man not only did not follow Yan Yan's influence, but also avenged himself for killing his father, and almost lost his life for this.
Lin Zai noticed Lin Sheng's little actions. She felt distressed in every possible way, but she could do nothing about it. "Brother Yue deserves all the sincerity you have given, so you should stop resenting him."
"Okay." After a long time, Lin Sheng responded slowly. In order not to worry her sister, she even forced a smile on her face.
Even though he knew the whole story, Lin Sheng still couldn't let go for a while.
My sister said that if she wanted to see Yue Rushuang at any time, she would arrange for them to meet, but what kind of mentality would she have to face that person?
Now, at least for now, she can't go to see him because Lin Sheng is really afraid that she won't be able to suppress her inner feelings.
The outcome was already decided, and she couldn't let Yue Rushuang feel any pressure, nor could she let herself fall into it again.
But Lin Sheng was really unwilling. Why did something unfortunate have to happen? Why do lovers have to miss each other forever?
Why? Why is everything happening?
She really wanted to vent to her heart's content, but she couldn't!
Lin Sheng tried hard to control her emotions. No matter how painful it was, she still wanted others to see her happy side!
~~~
Children are eager to learn knowledge, so Lin will run to the village from time to time.
If Lin Sheng had nothing important to do, he would send his sister there in person, and then take her back to the city early the next day.
Firstly, the security situation outside the city was too chaotic, and she couldn't let go, but she happened to know martial arts and could protect her sister; secondly, she also wanted to take this opportunity to visit Granny Cui and Che'er.
But Lin Zai would not let Sheng'er follow him every time. She was worried that Sheng'er's body would not be able to bear it.
After entrusting Zheng Zhen to Sheng'er, Lin Zai was about to go back to the house first, but he didn't expect to meet Liu Yao on the road.
This Liu Yao was the son of Mr. Liu, the neighbor whom Ling Qiuyun hated so much.
The Liu family has become more and more arrogant because of their relatives' gains in power. Although many people are dissatisfied, they dare not show it. Not only that, they also want to flatter and flatter with smiling faces.
This made Mr. Liu even more unscrupulous. He was extremely arrogant towards his only son. Even if Liu Yao made a mistake, he would not criticize him.
Mr. Liu often told his son: As long as you have power and money, no one will dare to say you are wrong in anything you do.
Gradually, Liu Yao became less and less aware of right and wrong, and he never thought there was anything wrong with his actions.
Speaking of this Mr. Liu, he is another typical person who favors the rich and bullies the poor, fearing the strong and bullying the weak.
Take the dispute with the Ling family as an example. No matter how unhappy he was, considering Li Ao's identity and influence in the Western Region, he finally gave in quickly.
Mr. Liu also had other wishful thinking. His son seemed to be very interested in Lin Zai. If they became friends, his status in the Western City would be even higher.
But he didn't know that Lin Zai hated his precious son very much.
But no matter how disgusted she is, she still has to endure it now. Her adoptive father said that she has to work hard to save face, and if she doesn't tolerate it, she will mess up her big plans.
Therefore, facing Liu Yao's attentiveness, Lin Zai could only hold back his anger in order to maintain his superficial courtesy.
She had said several times that it was important, but Liu Yao still followed her. Just when Lin Zai was about to change his face, Liu Shaopu's voice suddenly came.
"Miss Lin, my father has something important to do with General Li, but he is not in the house, so can you please go to my father's place on General Li's behalf?"
"Okay." Lin Zai replied quickly.
"Mr. Liu, I still have business to do, so I'll take the first step."
"Hey, it's such a pity. It seems we can only talk about it next time." Liu Yao said reluctantly.
Although he is arrogant, he is not without brains. In this case, he also knows that he should let people go.
~~~
After Liu Shaopu made sure that he would not meet Liu Yao again, he said to Lin Zai: "Miss Lin, you can go now with peace of mind."
"Thanks!"
Lin Zaizao guessed that Liu Shaopu was looking for excuses to escape.
"It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite."
"Why are you here?"
"I was planning to go to the medical clinic, but I happened to see Liu Yao pestering you."
"Going to the hospital? Mr. Liu is going to find Sheng'er?"
Liu Shaopu nodded with a smile.
"I heard Sheng'er say that Mr. Liu is interested in me?" Lin Zai suddenly asked.
Liu Shaopu was caught off guard. He touched his head and said, "I admire Miss Lin very much."
"Appreciate?" Lin Zai said meaningfully, "Appreciate, but not like. I wonder how long Mr. Liu will continue to use me as a shield?"
Liu Shaopu naturally understood the meaning of Lin's words. He giggled and said: "I never thought it would be like this. That idiot Lin Sheng misunderstood from the beginning. She thought I was pestering her just to find out about you. If I tell everything clearly now, she will definitely try her best to avoid me, so I will continue to wrong Miss Lin for a while, and I will definitely clarify it immediately after she changes her view of me."
"For the sake of how you helped me just now, I won't care about this matter. Mr. Liu, you have to behave well and let Sheng'er see how good you are, so that I can relieve myself of the burden of being a shield as soon as possible." Lin Joking.
She wasn't angry at all, and out of selfish motives, Lin Zai was happy to see Sheng'er and Liu Shaopu get together.
"Then I accept Miss Lin's good words."
"If Sheng'er's opinion of you never changes, will you give up?" Lin Zai asked seriously.
Liu Shaopu thought for a moment and replied frankly: "I don't know either, so I can't give you a definite answer. I can only say that playing with Lin Sheng makes me very, very happy, and I hope it can continue like this."
"What would you do if Sheng'er liked someone else?" Lin Zai continued to ask.
"You like someone else. If Lin Sheng doesn't want to like me no matter what, there's nothing you can do about it. I can only bless her. After all, you can't force feelings. Miss Lin, what I want most is for her to be happy forever."
Lin Zai was moved by Liu Shaopu's sincerity, "Then please Mr. Liu, please try your best to make her like you!"
"necessary."
No one can say for sure how things will develop in the future, but I still hope that everyone can have a happy ending.
After bidding farewell to Liu Shaopu, Lin Zai walked quickly to the house. It wouldn't be long before she could see Che'er, and she didn't know if he was feeling better now.
Lin Zai thought of the promise she made to Che'er, and how she wished she could fulfill it as soon as possible. If there weren't so many obstacles, it would be great if her sister and her family could always be together without being separated.
Although she was worried about what Mr. Jin had said, she hoped more than anyone else that she was worrying too much.
It would be great if he could really take his sister and his family away from this place of right and wrong.
