The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

Xiaohong walked out of the house briskly, and when she saw Mingliu standing quietly outside the house, she felt a little puzzled. She walked forward and asked curiously: "Mingliu, why are you still here?" The prince had left, why didn't he leave!

Ming Liu nodded slightly, his voice steady and respectful: "Little Miss Hong, the prince has ordered that from now on, I will protect the princess closely."

Hearing the word "Princess", Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment. She thought, the prince and the young lady's wedding has not been officially held yet, how can she be called the princess? But then, she felt a surge of joy in her heart. She understood that the prince must have done this out of care and love for the young lady, so he sent his personal guard to protect her.

Xiao Hong showed a happy smile on her face, she was happy for the young lady. She didn't say anything more, just turned around silently and went to prepare breakfast for the young lady.

Yesterday morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the treetops onto the bluestone road, Lin Yuejiao had just arrived in the capital. She was Lin Shengyang's eldest daughter, and this was her second time back to the capital in eight years since she left home to follow Mu Lao to Yunzhou to study medicine.

As soon as Lin Yuejiao arrived in Beijing, she couldn't wait to go to the auction. Although she was eager to reunite with her family, she knew that there were more important things at hand, so she decided to go to the auction first.

Until noon, Lin Shengyang's family was already waiting at the door. They looked around anxiously, expecting their daughter to appear.

When Lin Yuejiao finally appeared in their sight, Lin Shengyang's family cheered. They came forward one after another, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. Lin Yuejiao also felt extremely excited and happy. She hugged her father and mother tightly, with tears in her eyes.

"Jiao'er, you're finally back!"

"My dear child! You are finally back. I miss you so much!"

Lin Shengyang and his wife spoke excitedly, tears welling up in their eyes. He held his daughter's hand tightly, as if he was afraid she would disappear again.

"Yes, father and mother, I'm back." Lin Yuejiao replied with a smile, her voice full of warmth and gratitude. She knew that her family must have missed her very much during the years she was away from home, and she missed this home as well.

"Sister! You're back!" Lin Xiuqing said excitedly while holding Lin Yuejiao's hand! There was even a hint of tears in her voice!

The sunlight shone through the carved window lattices, sprinkling on the floor of the main hall, warm and bright. Several people enthusiastically led Lin Yuejiao into the mansion, and her return filled the entire Taishi Mansion with laughter.

As soon as Lin Yuejiao sat down, she was surrounded by her family. Her younger sister Lin Xiuqing spoke first, and she asked with a hint of worry: "Sister, I heard that you arrived in Beijing early in the morning. Why did you take so long to get home? Did something happen?" Lin Xiuqing's words were full of concern for her sister.

Mother Lin followed up by saying, "Jiao'er, why did you take so long to get here? We were so worried." Her eyes were full of worry and care.

Lin Yuejiao smiled and shook her head, explaining softly, "I'm sorry for making parents and my sister worry. As soon as I got back to Beijing, I knew there was an auction today. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it, so I went to the auction first. It's all my fault. I should have sent someone back to inform parents first."

After hearing this, Mother Lin patted the back of Lin Yuejiao's hand gently and said softly, "Why didn't you tell your parents what you wanted? If there's something you can't buy at home, why bother going there yourself and working so hard?"

Lin Yuejiao lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly, "Mother, I am not in the capital in Yunzhou. I have been collecting herbs in the mountains all year round, so I want the Snow Beauty Pill. When I was in Yunzhou, I heard that the Snow Beauty Pill has a miraculous effect of nourishing the skin and beautifying the skin. For me who travels all year round, I really need it. Besides, I also want to bring some back for mother and sister."

After hearing this, Mother Lin was touched and distressed. She gently stroked Lin Yuejiao's hair and said, "Jiao'er, you have worked hard. As long as it is what you need, our family will do our best to satisfy you. Don't take such risks next time, understand?"

Lin Yuejiao nodded, looked around, and found that the familiar figure was missing. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Dad, Mom, Xiuqing, why don't you see my second sister?" Her voice echoed in the empty main hall, but no one responded. The atmosphere froze instantly, as if the air had stopped flowing.

Lin Yuejiao felt the strange silence and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart. She asked again, "Dad and Mom, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to my second sister?" There was a slight tremor in her voice as she tried to find the answer from her family's reactions.

When Lin's mother heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they fell from her eyes. Her voice was trembling, and she wanted to speak but couldn't. Seeing this, Lin Shengyang took a deep breath and decided to tell Lin Yuejiao the truth.

"Yue Jiao, you don't know, Yue Shu...she's crazy." Lin Shengyang's voice was low and heavy, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He paused and continued, "Yue Shu suddenly became unconscious and talked nonsense. We invited countless doctors to see her, but they were all helpless. In the end, we had to send her to the countryside to recuperate, hoping that the environment there would make her better." He also told her about the theft in the mansion that day!

Lin Yuejiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She never thought that such a bizarre incident would happen in the mansion during the years when she was away from the capital.

"How could this happen?" Lin Yuejiao murmured to herself, her voice full of confusion and regret. It was just regret, not much sadness.

When Lin's mother and Lin Shengyang saw Lin Yuejiao's reaction, they felt mixed emotions.
