It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

Everything seems to be going according to plan.

Liu Li took advantage of the rest time to sell several boxes of jewelry to the pawnshop and got back a stack of banknotes.

Lin Zhihe rubbed the banknote lovingly with his hands, this is money!

Although it is money, you cannot keep it and it will eventually be spent.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe frowned and handed the banknote back to Liu Li.

Liu Li put away the banknotes and looked up at Lin Zhihe. "Just now, Li Xian asked a little eunuch to come over and tell him that the Queen Mother has given her a verbal order to allow the master to return to the Lin Mansion to visit her relatives tomorrow and to celebrate her birthday there."

Well, now I have really become a day student in the harem.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also sent over the master's birthday gift." Liu Li took out a list from his sleeve, which was covered with densely written small characters, and handed it to Lin Zhihe.

"They are nothing more than pearl hairpins and rings. There are not many of them and the quality is not good either." Liu Li curled her lips slightly.

Lin Zhihe looked at Liu Li's disgusted expression and understood in her heart: she was just a talented woman, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs probably wouldn't give her anything good.

What's more, with the large quantities of top-quality jewelry sent in by the Lin Mansion, the ones from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were even worse.

"Put them all away and sell them together later."

I guess it won’t sell for much money.

Lin Zhihe brought Liu Li and Xiao Taohong back to the Lin Mansion again.

The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Thinking back to when I was afraid that Lin Yingchen and my grandmother would find out, it seems that I was worrying too much.

As soon as she entered the door, her grandmother was already waiting at the door.

My grandmother stood there leaning on a cane, and next to her stood Cui Gu, who had always been serving her.

"Grandma!" As soon as Lin Zhihe entered the yard, he ran towards his grandmother.

"The sun is so strong, what if grandma gets heatstroke standing here?" Lin Zhihe quickly helped his grandmother into the house.

Ever since my grandmother saw Lin Zhihe, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she was no longer as distant and indifferent as before.

"Grandma isn't as delicate as you think. Would she be infected with the heat after being in the sun for a while?" There was a hint of unconvinced in her tone.

I started to rebel right after my sixtieth birthday.

Lin Zhihe ignored her and continued to support his grandmother as they walked towards the inner courtyard.

Grandmother held her hand and her eyes never left her. "My He'er is so beautiful that it's not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world."

“Neither do I.”

Even though this skin belonged to the original owner, I still felt very ashamed to hear someone praising me like this.

Upon hearing this, my grandmother instantly became unhappy, as if she was the one being denied.

"Tell me, am I He'er extremely beautiful?" He looked at Liu Li.

Liu Li nodded and began to agree: "The master is indeed a beauty that can captivate the whole country."

Oh my god, how embarrassing. Although this skin belongs to the original owner, the inside is still hers, and the original owner looks 80% like her.

This is even more shameful.

Wanting to get over this topic, Lin Zhihe quickly changed the subject, "Where's Dad?"

"Of course your father hasn't left the court yet!" Grandmother patted Lin Zhihe's hand, "But it looks like the time is almost up."

"Your father was afraid that you would be lonely celebrating your birthday in the palace, so he specially asked the emperor for grace to allow you to visit your parents," said the grandmother as we walked.

Lin Zhihe couldn't help but look at his grandmother and found that the joy and affection she showed when she mentioned Lin Zhihe's birthday didn't seem fake.

It seemed as if he was really looking forward to his granddaughter coming home to celebrate her birthday.

If you knew that the original owner's birthday had long passed, would you still be so enthusiastic?

Is it the grandmother's acting that is better or Lin Yingchen's slowness that is better?

Seeing her frowning in deep thought, her grandmother thought she was missing her father and quickly began to comfort him: "Your father will be back soon, right away!"

"And your eldest sister, Duke Chu, and your second sister are already waiting for you in the inner courtyard!" Grandmother looked at her with a surprised expression, waiting for her reaction.

"Ah? Haha..." Lin Zhihe laughed dryly twice, his voice lowered by a tone, "That's really great."

That’s great, the good thing is that they are all people she doesn’t want to see.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw the second sister holding Taotao, while the eldest sister was standing next to the second sister, teasing the child.

Taotao was originally quite happy, but for some reason he pouted and looked aggrieved when he saw his elder sister.

This pitiful look made the eldest sister laugh, "Xiao Taotao dislikes me."

The Duke of Chu couldn't bear to see anyone despising his wife, not even the one-year-old little grandson of the emperor.

He strode up to his eldest sister, pulled Lin Zhifu over, and said softly, "My lady, please don't get tired."

I never expected that a man fighting on the battlefield could make such a gentle voice.

I don't know why my second sister's smiling face drooped. She wasn't angry, she just wasn't as happy as before.

What's wrong with this guy?

Lin Zhihe was becoming increasingly confused about her second sister.

"Oh, our little birthday boy is back!" The usual sarcastic voice.

Lin Zhihe forced a smile and raised the corners of his mouth, then nodded in the direction of his second sister.

"Look at our third sister. She's a talented woman now and her style is different." Lin Zhiqiang held Taotao in her arms but kept her eyes on her.

The eldest sister saw that Lin Zhiqiang was unhappy, but she couldn't tell why she was unhappy, so she quickly came out to stop her, "You are the elder sister, Shuhua has become more and more naughty now, not to mention that today is He'er's birthday!"

When this was mentioned, Lin Zhiqiang became even more excited, "Yes, it's her birthday, let's come over and celebrate it for her."

Lin Zhifu, who always had a smile on her face, also frowned. "No one forced you to come here. Didn't you come here on your own initiative?"

The eldest sister's majesty and her face that never cools down easily were like two mountains that seemed to be about to collapse, and they were collapsing towards Lin Zhiqiang.

Lin Zhiqiang immediately put on a smiling face, took Lin Zhihe's hand, and began to show sisterly affection, "Second sister is just joking with you."

Lin Zhihe looked at Lin Zhifu with great emotion, and also looked at Duke Chu with a guilty conscience.

Such a good elder sister, I hope the original owner will not do anything irreparable to her brother-in-law. After all, just becoming a king is enough of a headache for him now.

The grandmother was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, and only when the family returned to being happy did the grandmother put on a smile again.

At this moment, a man who looked like a servant came in and saluted to the grandmother, "Madam, King Cheng is here."

Grandmother quickly ordered the servant, "Quick, quick, quick, please come in."

Lin Zhihe was surprised.

Lin Zhiqiang was also surprised.

Lin Zhihe looked at Lin Zhiqiang, who showed a surprised expression but quickly retracted it and pretended to understand, and suddenly felt a headache.

Now, all the people I don’t want to see are gathered together.
