A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

"What? You're going to Tongcheng? Big brother's birthday is coming next month, and you're going back to Tongcheng?"

"When the birthday party comes, the third wife and the children won't be there. What will other people think if they see this?"

"Lin Yanniang, you always only care about yourself!"

In the Wei Rui Courtyard of the Heguo Mansion, He Sanlang, who was invited by the maid to discuss matters, couldn't help but lose his composure and yell!

This woman, Lin Yanniang, has become more and more sarcastic and mean over the years. Where is the virtuousness of a principal wife?

Tongcheng's mother-in-law sent two fairy fruits, which are indeed rare.

All the children in the house stretched their necks to look forward to it.

But this woman insisted that the fruit was specially given to Hu Ge'er by her mother-in-law. After the fairy fruit matured, she only gave one to each room, and even only one to his father and mother.

There are so many people, adults and children in each family. If I send this one, it will only be enough to quench my thirst!

Even this can still be seen, but people like Xiu Gu and Mao Ge'er cannot even be seen!

That day, Mao Ge'er cried to Xiu Gu and he happened to come back and saw it. When he asked Xiu Gu about it, he tried his best to cover it up.

He had to call the maid and find out the reason.

It turned out that Mao Ge was in the clan school and heard the children from the first and second wives talking about the taste of the fairy fruit. Those naughty little guys teased Mao Ge and asked him how many fairy fruits he had eaten.

Look, Brother Mao is in big trouble now.

Did you tell Xiu Gu about it when you came back?

So, isn't the root of the problem this woman Lin Yanniang?

Even if the two fairy fruits were given to Hu Ge'er by my mother-in-law, Lin Yanniang was the third wife and the legitimate mother of the third house. So what if she only gave one fruit to Mao Ge'er?

Why be so stingy?

He was just about to go find Lin Yanniang to talk about this, but he happened to meet a maid from Weirui Courtyard who came to deliver a message.

But he didn't expect that after he came over, before he even opened his mouth, Lin Yanniang came up and said that she wanted to take Hu Ge'er to Tongcheng to return home!

How could he bear this?

"Since I married and moved to the capital eleven years ago, I have never been back to my parents' home. Even when my father passed away, I did not go back to attend the funeral. This is already unfilial. Now my old mother lives alone on the farm, how can I not go to visit her?"

He Sanlang disagreed, "My father-in-law passed away, and Hu Ge'er just happened to be seriously ill and couldn't leave, right?"

Lin Yanniang looked straight over there, "Hu Ge'er is seriously ill, I can't leave, can't Third Master leave too?"

Although Hu Ge'er has both a father and a mother, every time he falls sick, isn't it only his mother who stays by his side and takes care of him?

Only his biological father would come over and say a few words of concern a few years ago.

In recent years, I've even become too lazy to go through the motions.

He Sanlang's thoughts were hit right on the spot.

If he wanted to go at that time, he could naturally get away.

But since his own daughter wouldn't go, what could he, an outsider son-in-law, do?

Tongcheng is not a good place with outstanding people. All his brothers-in-law are useless. If he wants to go there, they will definitely have to beg and plead to get close to him. Wouldn't that be annoying?

Although He Sanlang himself had no special abilities, he was just a bastard of a duke's mansion, and was not good at either civil or military affairs, and he was not well off. Apart from his monthly salary, he only had the profit from a small shop to spend, but that was not much. After paying for this month's surplus, he would have to pay for next month's!

But even so, he would still look down on those who were worse than him.

But can he put his little thoughts on the table?

He Sanlang hesitated, "Well, Hu Ge'er is sick, how can I have the leisure to leave Beijing?"

Although he was not guarding by the bedside but was socializing outside, he was always thinking about his children in his heart!

Lin Yanniang glanced at him and said, "Now that Hu Ge'er is well, isn't it a good opportunity for us to go? It's time for my husband to accompany me to my parents' home, right?"

Okay, okay, what did he come here for? Why did he let this woman outwit him?

He Sanlang's mind raced, and he recalled the previous birthday.

"But I'm going to miss my eldest brother's birthday..."

"This month is my eldest brother's birthday, next month is my second sister-in-law's birthday, and the month after that is my eldest sister-in-law and my uncle's birthday. There are always birthdays in a month throughout the year. Could it be that I will never be able to return home?"

Lin Yanniang began to wipe away her tears as she spoke.

"Who said I can't go back home? It's just that I'm not free this month. How about waiting a little longer?"

"I dare not delay Third Master's important matter, I will take Hu Ge'er back home by myself!"

When He Sanlang heard this again, he was no longer so opposed.

"But it would be embarrassing if you didn't show up at the first house!"

"Don't worry, Third Master. I have already prepared the gifts. I'm sure that my elder brother and his wife will like them! With such joy, they naturally won't mind that we mothers are not here."

He Sanlang didn't believe it at all.

"Oh, how do you know they like it?"

At this point, He Sanlang suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What is the gift you prepared?"

"It's those two fairy fruits! I'm going to take Hu Ge'er back to my hometown in Tongcheng. These two fairy fruits are unattended, so I might as well lend them to the Buddha!"

What?

He Sanlang felt his forehead buzzing.

He was also thinking about taking one or two fruits from here someday, as they would be of great use to him!

But I didn't expect this woman to do things inexplicably and not be able to tell the difference between inside and outside!

Since we are going back to Tongcheng, the fairy fruit plant is unattended, so we can leave it to him!

He can share some of it among his children, or keep it to give to his friends, or use it to please the old man and the old lady!

"You, you! You can't!"

"Didn't you say that this fairy fruit plant was specially given by your mother-in-law to Hu Ge'er for nourishing his body? Why did you give the fairy fruit plant away? Could it be that all the things you said before were just to deceive people? Just to avoid giving the fairy fruit away?"

"My husband, did you mishear? Didn't I just say that Hu Ge'er is already well?"

"You are so mean and petty... What? Hu Ge'er is already well? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

Looking at the other party's stunned expression, Lin Yanniang lowered her head to hide the disgust in her eyes.

"It's just that recently, the Third Master hasn't come to Wei Rui Courtyard, so I have no choice but to send someone to invite the Third Master over, right?"

"How is this possible? Hu Ge'er is born weak and needs to see a doctor all the time! Don't listen to the quack doctor and delay Hu Ge'er's treatment, which will eventually lead to a big mistake."

"If you don't believe me, I'll call Hu Ge'er over and you'll know the answer immediately!"

Lin Yanniang was in a good mood and was particularly patient in dealing with the situation, so she ordered someone to call Hu Ge'er.

Seeing Hu Ge'er bowing respectfully, He Sanlang became more and more shocked.

This, this, this, it’s only been a few days since we last saw each other, and Hu Ge’er not only looks much better, he seems to have grown a lot!

No, no, is this some kind of magic medicine?

Oh no, he was so surprised that he blurted out what was in his heart without realizing it.

Lin Yanniang gave Huger a wink.

Hu Ge'er said obediently, "Father, I didn't take any magic medicine. I just ate a fairy fruit every day for a month. It seems that I got better without realizing it!"

He Sanlang became even more surprised after hearing this.

He pulled his son over and looked at it carefully over and over again.

Although he had no medical skills and did not know how to diagnose and treat, he had seen Hu Ge'er three months ago.

Although children nowadays are still thin, their spirit and energy are completely different!

Ah! It really is a magical fruit!

"Mother-in-law is truly kind-hearted!"

After he said this, he thought of the remaining fairy fruits.

"In that case, why did you give the fairy fruit plant to Big Brother?"

"He is only 45 years old, not old enough to celebrate his birthday. Why does he need such a grand gift?"

"Yanniang, you are so incompetent! Why don't you leave it to me? I will naturally be able to use the good steel for the knife..."

Lin Yanniang smiled and said, "Oh, my husband, because I was in a hurry to return to Tongcheng this time, I have already sent the fairy fruit plant to the first room! How can I take something back after I have already sent it?"

Haha! Just now I was saying that big brother’s birthday is indispensable, but now I am saying that it is just his 45th birthday!

The huge disappointment, like a surprise, hit He Sanlang on the head.

He Sanlang almost jumped up in shock, but fortunately he still remembered to retain some of his gentlemanly manners, so he did not lose his composure and get furious. Instead, he pointed at Lin Yanniang and said, "You, you are really confused!"

"Since the immortal fruit is really so useful, you gave it away as if it were an ordinary gift! It shows that you are not a..."

"Don't worry, my husband. The weather is getting colder. This fairy fruit plant is only a one-year-old plant. Although it can still produce three or five fruits in the future, that's all. It will probably wither and die in less than a month. Even if I keep it, there will only be three or five fairy fruits. Who should I give these three or five fruits to? I know that there have been a lot of criticisms about me in the mansion recently. Look, Brother Hu is fine, so I will hand over this hot mountain yam to you and let my sister-in-law worry about it!"

Although these words were spoken lightly, they still made He Sanlang furious. He picked up the cup beside him and was about to smash it to the ground...

Seeing that He Sanlang was about to lose his temper, Lin Yanniang quickly winked at the maids, asking them to take the child out.

It's only been a few days since Hu Ge'er recovered. Don't be scared by this guy again!

However, just as the maid was pulling Hu Ge out and He Sanlang had already raised his cup, someone suddenly came running in from outside, startled.

"Madam! Madam! Outside, outside...people from the Princess's Mansion are here!"

Ok?

He Sanlang's movements froze in mid-air.

Lin Yanniang breathed a sigh of relief and then took a deep breath.

"Princess's Mansion? Which Princess's Mansion?"

The old woman who came was not from Weirui Courtyard, but was the one who was responsible for passing messages to the inner courtyard at the second gate.

The old woman's face was full of surprise, "It's the Fifth Princess's Mansion!"

"Are you here to look for the third room?"

Lin Yanniang was filled with surprise when she heard this.

After all, she didn't have many social contacts outside! She only went to Ding's house a few months ago.

He Sanlang had already put down the cup quickly, and was even worried that the cup would break, so he used his other hand to protect it.

At this moment, his face was full of smiles.

"This must be someone who is looking for me!"

"Prince Consort Xia and I have never had a good relationship..."

The old woman was embarrassed when she heard this.

He could only stammer, "The one who came was an aunt from the princess's mansion, who wanted to see the third wife."

There was a crack in the smile on He Sanlang's face.

But I still had to save my dignity, smiling and nodding.

"Well, maybe Prince Consort Xia said something to the Fifth Princess, so the Fifth Princess might want to hold a banquet and specially invite the wife of our Third House to attend!"

What does Lin Yanniang know?

In the past ten years, she has been hiding in the inner courtyard to look after the children. All social activities have to rely on her husband!

The reason why the Fifth Princess knew Lin Yanniang was because she was a guest in the Princess's Mansion, right?

What else could Lin Yanniang say? She could only nod in agreement.

"Hurry up and invite this aunt!"

You have to know that the one who can be called aunt in the princess's mansion is a female official from the palace and has a rank.

As for her, although she could be called the third wife in the Duke's Mansion to the outside world, because her husband had no meritorious title, not to mention her imperial edict, she was only a wife and could not be called a madam.

Although there was a difference between men and women, and He Sanlang was not suitable to see this aunt, he just hid in another room and pricked up his ears to listen to the news.

A stick of incense later, Lin Yanniang met the aunt from the Fifth Princess's Mansion in the small flower hall.

"I have met Madam He San. Our princess heard that Tongcheng is a beautiful place and wanted to go there for a tour. She also heard that Madam He San's family was from Tongcheng, so she thought of Madam He San."

He Sanlang pricked up his ears in the next room, but he couldn't hear clearly. He could only vaguely hear a few words such as "Princess", "Third Madam", and "Remember".

He Sanlang couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

He just said that sooner or later he would be able to achieve his ambitions, right?

Look, even if the Fifth Princess wanted to go to Tongcheng, she had to send someone to tell the Third Wife!

Eh? But why did the Fifth Princess go to Tongcheng?

He Sanlang was still thinking about something when his aunt came out of the flower hall. Lin Yanniang personally saw him off to the gate of the courtyard and even walked him a little further.

But He Sanlang was so anxious that he kept walking around in circles.

No, what can I say to him?

What is there to say to this woman?

All she knows is taking care of the children and asking the doctor to make medicine!

He Sanlang stood at the gate of the courtyard and finally waited for Lin Yanniang to arrive.

He asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"What did the Fifth Princess send to tell me? Why did I hear Tongcheng mentioned?"

No, the fifth princess is fine, why would she go to Tongcheng?

It can’t be for the immortal fruit, right?

But as far as he knew, among the top dignitaries in the capital, the one that lacked this the least was the princess's mansion!

The small piece he ate was at a banquet at the Fifth Princess's Mansion!

Lin Yanniang was actually a little confused herself.

But from what the female official said, it seemed that the Fifth Princess not only wanted to go to Tongcheng, but also to visit her own mother!

He also said that the princess did not want too many outsiders to know her itinerary.

Seeing He Sanlang behaving like this again, I had to force myself not to laugh out loud.
