After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

He Linyuan has not been idle at home these days. He has disciplined Ruan Zhi and her son. They can no longer jump around, so He Hong sent them to a temple outside the city to practice meditation.

It is said to be a practice of celibacy, but in fact it is to be punished.

Jin Yuanyuan asked the servants on the way, but they only said that Ruan Zhihe and Lingsheng went to the temple to practice meditation, and they couldn't get any more information other than that.

She realized that there was something she didn't know, so she would ask He Linyuan what had happened later.

When Ruan Qi saw her coming, he quickly opened the door and invited her in.

"Miss Jin, you are finally here. The young master has been getting sicker these days. Please come in and take a look."

He has been with He Linyuan since he was a child. He knows what he is thinking very well. His love for Miss Jin is almost deep in his bones.

This time, it was because He Linyuan took cold showers for three days that he caught a cold.

He originally wanted to invite Jin Yuanyuan over, but the young master disagreed and insisted that she should wait until she figured it out herself.

Although I don’t know what to figure out, it’s good to be here.

When Jin Yuanyuan walked in, she saw He Linyuan lying on the bed with a pale face.

She didn't care about anything else and walked over quickly to sit beside the bed. She looked worried and reached out to touch his forehead.

"Oh my god! You have such a high fever, your body is so hot that you can fry an egg on it. Didn't you take any medicine?"

This was the first time they met after so many days. They had never gone more than five days apart before, and they missed each other especially now.

He Linyuan's voice was hoarse and he had no strength. "I took the medicine, but it didn't work. I feel like I may not get better."

"Don't talk nonsense. How can you not get better? It's just a cold. I'm here. I have medicine."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back, took out a bottle of medicine from the space and handed it to him.

"Eat this, and you'll be well again soon."

He Linyuan raised his hand, but it was trembling, as if he had Alzheimer's disease and he just couldn't lift it.

Jin Yuanyuan was puzzled. It was just a cold, so why was it so serious? Seeing that he was procrastinating, she decided to take over.

She helped him sit up, put the medicine to his mouth, and gave him a sip of tea.

He leaned against Jin Yuanyuan and could smell the fragrance of gardenia on her body. He Linyuan clenched his fists, knowing that if he didn't say it this time, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity later.

He held Jin Yuanyuan's hand gently and restrainedly.

"Yuanyuan, I like you, you should know that."

These days, Jin Yuanyuan thought about every little thing that happened between them.

He Linyuan has always been by her side. He would help her solve any problem he could, and he has never been absent from her life, as if he was always there at all times.

He always looked at her with eyes that she couldn't understand. Those eyes were serious and focused, with a hint of paranoia and stubbornness. After the accident in the carriage, she suspected that He Linyuan liked her.

Now that he said it himself, Jin Yuanyuan didn't want to pretend not to know, so she nodded.

"Yeah, I guessed it."

After thinking about it these days, she actually felt that she seemed to like him a little. She always wanted to protect him. When she couldn't see him, she would miss him. This must be love.

"What about you? Do you like me? Even a little bit."

Just seeing him a little is enough, and just liking him a little will make him satisfied.

Jin Yuanyuan pursed her lips and nodded, "I like you, too, but not as much as you like me. Do you...do you mind?"

Hearing this, He Linyuan was stunned for a long while, and then he was so excited that he almost jumped off the bed.

His eyes were bright and lively, as if Jin Yuanyuan's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness affected his entire mood.

"I don't mind! Why would I mind, Yuanyuan? Everyone has different preferences. You have General Cheng, Madam Jin, three brothers, and perhaps even more people in your heart. Your love for each person is naturally dispersed."

"But you are the only one in my world, and I only like you. My love is naturally strong. I don't ask you to love me passionately, I just ask you to love me for a little longer."

As long as she has him in her heart, it is enough. He knows that no one's love is equal.

Jin Yuanyuan was touched by these words. She didn't know that he thought so highly of her.

He clearly had a bright future. He was now the top scholar in the imperial examination and had a bright future ahead of him. He also had these friends by his side, but she was the most important person in his heart.

The two of them have made up their minds and decided to be together. He Linyuan is afraid that the night will be long and he wants to settle it as soon as possible, so he tentatively asks:

"Your parents are urging you to get married, and I'm also of marriageable age. Yuanyuan, when are we going to get married?"

"So fast?!" Jin Yuanyuan was shocked.

They have just confirmed their relationship, and now they are talking about marriage. It's too fast. Weren't the ancients very conservative and cautious?

"Well, my ideal age to get married is eighteen, which is still a year and a half away. Can you...can you wait for me?"

He Linyuan did not agree immediately, but thought about it.

Not long after, he said, "Okay, I'll wait until you're eighteen before getting married. But we have to settle down first, and we'll be closer if we exchange first."

This way everyone would know that she was his.

Jin Yuanyuan agreed without hesitation. After talking about this, Jin Yuanyuan began to be curious about other things.

"When I came here, I heard from the servants that Ruan Zhi and He Lingsheng went to the temple to practice meditation? Why would they go there to practice meditation for no reason?"

Speaking of this, He Linyuan's whole body was screaming with excitement and joy. After taking Yuanyuan's medicine, his cold has recovered and his eyes are full of cunning.

"This is a long story. To put it simply, He Lingsheng is not He Hong's biological son."

When he grew up, he never called He Hong "Dad" unless it was necessary.

In order to marry into the He family, Ruan Zhi tried every means possible. After she got married, He Hong seldom slept with Ruan Zhi. He would only rest in Ruan Zhi's yard when he was angry with Ruan Li.

Ruan Zhi already knew that being married into the family would make Ruan Li jealous.

But she was afraid that if they reconciled one day, He Hong would never see her again as long as he had Ruan Li.

She had to find a way to have a child so that she could have support in the future. Even if she wanted to seize the He family's property, she had to have a child first.

But He Hong only came to her room no more than five times in a year, so it was really difficult for her to get pregnant. Ruan Zhi had no choice but to find a man to get pregnant.

She just randomly found this man in Qinlou and Chuguan, and now she probably doesn't even remember what he looks like.

He Hong didn't come to her room often, which gave her the opportunity. Before long, Ruan Zhi became pregnant.

He Hong was a little surprised at the time. He almost always stayed in Ruan Li's room and rarely looked for Ruan Zhi. It turned out that Ruan Zhi was the first to get pregnant.

But He Hong didn't think much about it. Ruan Zhi was in better health than Ruan Li, so it was not strange that she got pregnant first.

In this way, He Hong was cuckolded without knowing it, and he helped raise someone else's son for more than 20 years. It was not until He Linyuan secretly investigated for many years that he found clues.

Jin Yuanyuan understood what he said, "I see. But Lord He is so generous. He just lets them go to the temple to practice meditation and doesn't punish them in any other way?"

At least they should be expelled from the family tree, or given a few beatings and then driven out. It would be too easy for them to just be driven out.

She still remembers that when He Linyuan was a child, the vicious mother and son did a lot of harm to him.
