A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 17 Your Jade is Here (7)

"Mom, my sister and I have started practicing, and are now practicing with our master in the palace," Ping An explained. Li felt distressed when she saw the little one becoming so sensible now.

Lin Ruhai knew about his children's spiritual practice very early on, but due to the emperor's order, he kept it a secret from everyone. However, knowing and seeing are two different things.

Lin Ruhai had always thought that the emperor meant practicing Taoism by reading Taoist books and copying Taoist scriptures, but he never expected that it could bring the dead back to life. Lin Ruhai was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai like this, thinking that he was upset because of Jia Min's matter, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Dad is fine. It's just that this is the first time I've seen such a miraculous thing. No wonder the emperor took you away. I think he knew about it long ago." Lin Ruhai was even a little incoherent.

As they talked, they began to talk about their lives in the palace. Even though they knew that the emperor treated them very well, they were still worried that they were being wronged.

Daiyu began to tell her sad old father how much fun she was having in the palace and how good the emperor was to her, trying to reassure her old father.

Lin Ping'an suddenly felt an unknown malice, and at this moment, the servant came to report.

"Master, there are a Taoist priest and a monk outside who said that our wife's life is over and our young lady's life is about to end. If you want your young lady to live, you should go to Ningguo Mansion to extend her life."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai was very angry. His daughter was clearly here fine, but some evil monk or Taoist cursed Yu'er like this. Lin Ruhai was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Someone, go to the door and invite the Taoist priest and the monk in. I want to see who is cursing my Yu'er like this."

"Master, the Taoist and the monk left together," the servant stepped forward and replied.

Lin Ruhai was immediately frustrated. He didn't know whether to be angry or not.

Lin Pingan knew that the monk had left, but the malice was still there. Driven by a premonition, Lin Pingan made a decision.

"You want me to hold a funeral for your mother and create the illusion that your mother has passed away, without even telling the Jia family the truth?"

"Yes, father. I have a feeling that the person behind this definitely doesn't want mother to live. For now, this is the only way to save mother's life and the Lin family."

"Let your father think about it." Lin Ruhai couldn't accept it.

"Dad, there is no time to think about it. The two people today are probably just a trigger. We don't know what level of cultivation the person behind them has. If we are discovered by that person, it will be too late. Even Master can do nothing about the person behind the scenes."

Under Lin Ping'an's persuasion, Lin Ruhai agreed to hold a funeral for Jia Min. After Jia Min learned the whole thing, she decided to return to Suzhou to wait for Lin Ruhai's arrival. After all, according to Lin Ping'an, Lin Ruhai would also fake his death in six years.

Jia Min was escorted away from Yangzhou by Lin Daiyu, but Lin Ruhai couldn't eat because he was worried about his wife and daughter, and he seemed to be overly sad after losing his wife.

Not long after Jia Min arrived in Suzhou, the person who came to attend the funeral of the Jia family arrived at the Lin family. It was Jia Lian, the son of the eldest wife. The eldest wife was supposed to inherit the title, and although he was not liked by Grandmother Jia, he was still higher than the second wife in terms of etiquette.

"I learned earlier that my aunt was not well, but I didn't expect that I haven't even seen her now." Jia Lian was also a little sad. This aunt was very kind to him when he was young, but he didn't expect that she would be gone like this now.

Lin Ruhai felt somewhat comforted when he saw that Jia Lian was genuinely sad. In the plot against Jia Min, only the wife of the second wife was involved, and the wife of the first wife still had some sincerity towards Jia Min.

"Go and burn some incense for your aunt." Lin Ruhai didn't want to say much, but just patted Jia Lian on the shoulder.

Lin Daiyu and Lin Ping'an were both wearing mourning clothes and looked sad. Li was also in mourning for Jia Min. The entire Lin Mansion was filled with sadness.

Jia Lian looked at his heartbroken cousins, and thought about the task that Grandmother Jia had assigned him before leaving. He felt that he couldn't say it out loud. However, no matter how hard he tried to say it, he still had to mention it to Lin Ruhai.

"Are you saying that my mother-in-law wants to send Yu'er to Ningguo Mansion for education for a period of time?" Lin Ruhai even began to doubt his ears.

"That's what grandma meant. She was just thinking about educating my cousin in light of my aunt's recent death, and also about making up for the mother-daughter relationship." Jia Lian could hardly continue making up stories.

Jia Lian felt that his grandmother was simply mentally ill. She was a prince and a princess of the First Rank, and they were taught by the Empress Dowager and raised by the Emperor. How could she be the old lady of a marquis's mansion?

"Yu'er and Ping'an also reported to the emperor before leaving the palace that they would stay in Yangzhou to mourn for their mother for a year. If their mother-in-law really misses her, they have to wait until the mourning period is over before going to Ningguo Mansion." Lin Ruhai gave Jia Lian some face and did not refuse directly.

Jia Lian had no choice but to return to the capital with this news, and Daiyu and Ping'an began their life of mourning with Li's company.

Within two months, the emperor came to Yangzhou with their nominal master. The retired emperor wanted to live out his retirement in Yangzhou, so naturally the officials in Yangzhou had to be perfect. Even the emperor sent greetings in letters every day, although the retired emperor was very annoyed with his son.

"Look at these letters. Apart from one or two greetings to me, the rest are all greetings to Yu'er. He also asked me to take good care of Yu'er so that she wouldn't be too sad and hurt herself."

"Your Majesty has always valued this sister. This is also human nature," the eunuch who served the retired emperor hurriedly comforted him.

But when the emperor finished reading the letter, the smile on his face disappeared. The empress was also asking about the situation of his sister Yu'er and his brother Ping'an, and even several concubines were asking about the same.

After reading dozens of letters, it was found that the emperor was most concerned about the retired emperor, his father. The annoying tenth emperor didn't even mention him as his father.

The sad emperor decided that in the future he must flatter these troublesome guys in front of Daiyu and Ping'an and make himself the most beloved in their hearts.

The Empress Dowager didn't care about this at all. When she thought of the little Daiyu and Ping'an who had lost their mother, she felt extremely heartbroken for them. At the same time, she thought of something else.

"After all, Jia is Yu'er's biological mother. Should she be posthumously honored? This would also be a way to complete her posthumous honor." When Jia Min was alive, she was granted the second-rank imperial title. The Empress Dowager was thinking about it, so she might as well mention it to Jia Min again.

"That's true. And Li, after all, is Ping'an's biological mother. She should be Lin Ruhai's second wife, and she deserves a third-rank imperial decree." Due to status issues in her early years, Li did not have an imperial decree, but she had the title of Madam.
