A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"My eldest brother told me before he left that my sister-in-law must go slowly wherever she goes in the future, and the carriage must not shake her. I've been anxious sitting all the way here." Xiao Qiannan walked towards the main hall while playing and complaining with Lin Qingyi.

Lin Qingru was obediently and carefully supporting her sister Huan'er, while Liu Xi was also holding Lin Qinghuan's other arm, secretly glancing at Hong Qi next to her from time to time.

"I heard the good news early in the morning. I'm so happy. When will Daddy and An Cai come back?" Lin Qinghuan asked happily as they walked.

"Second brother is on his way back." Lin Qingru said happily. After all, Lin An is her most beloved brother.

"What about daddy?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"Dad, second uncle and eldest brother-in-law Liu Yinan still have things to do. Come back after they are done." Lin Qingru said.

"Fortunately, no one was injured this time, otherwise my grandmother and mother would be sad again." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Sister, slow down. Sister Nan just said that my brother-in-law has given instructions." Seeing that Lin Qinghuan's steps had turned into small steps again, Lin Qingru pulled her and said.

Lin Qinghuan looked at her sister who had become more and more sensible, smiled with relief, and slowed down her pace.

"Sister Mo went to Zhoushui County with her mother-in-law some time ago. I don't know if she learned the news of the victory of the war." Lin Qinghuan muttered again.

"They will definitely know. The victory report will be posted. It seems that she will not be back until spring. She is the daughter of the aunt from Zhou Shui's hometown in the Jia family. Although they are a merchant family, they are very wealthy." Lin Qingyi turned her head and said.

"If you are not rich in business, you won't be able to marry that girl." Lin Qinghuan asked.

"Let me tell you, I heard that the girl had a leg disease. Think about it, why would a girl from an official family marry into a merchant family?" Lin Qingyi said in a low voice.

"Oh, that's how it is." Lin Qinghuan thought, if he couldn't be an official, it would be nice to be a businessman. He would have endless money to spend, which was a great thought. He didn't have the brains for business, otherwise he would definitely want to stir up some business in the Dasheng Dynasty.

A group of people entered Tengjing Pavilion in a lively manner. He Su looked at the group of children who came in with a smile.

"Alright, alright. You're already pregnant, why are you still bowing? Sit down quickly." He Su said to Lin Qinghuan who was about to bow.

"Look, the last time I saw you, you were talking about being pregnant, but this time I see you're already pregnant." Lin Qingyao pointed to the seat next to her and asked Lin Qinghuan to sit down.

"I've been stuck in the mansion for more than a month and was almost going moldy. Today, Xier finally asked me to go out." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Sister Liuxi is doing this for your own good. I've heard about the embroidery painting. It's all thanks to her, otherwise you don't know what kind of loss you would have suffered." Lin Qingyao looked at Liuxi with gratitude on her face, and then spoke to everyone.

"Miss Liu is an excellent doctor. I wonder what her relationship is with the Liu Family Valley in Qingyang?" He Su asked curiously, and everyone looked at Liu Xi who was sitting next to Lin Qinghuan.

"Mrs. Lin, the head of Liujia Valley is my maternal grandfather's father. I have been learning medicine from my maternal grandfather since I was a child." Liu Xi said softly.

"So she is a disciple of Liu Jiagu. No wonder Miss Liu is so talented." He Su praised.

Lin Qinghuan naturally didn't know who this Valley Master was, so she asked curiously, "Could it be that Elder Liu is my mother-in-law's grandfather?"

"No, my eldest aunt's biological mother is Princess Ning Jia, and my grandfather and Princess Ning Jia are cousins. My youngest aunt is my grandfather's biological daughter." After Liu Xi finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan was still a little confused. Lin Qingyao looked at her confused look and couldn't help but smile.

"I've figured it out. My mother-in-law and Aunt Liu Rong are cousins, but you are Aunt Liu Rong's niece." Lin Qinghuan asked.

"Well, but my maternal grandfather had three daughters, and my mother was the second oldest. My aunt grew up with my eldest aunt in the old Duke Jinhan's mansion, so they have always been very close." Liu Xi said.

"There's another daughter, she must be your great aunt's daughter." Lin Qinghuan's curiosity was aroused again.

Liu Xi smiled faintly, "Now her surname is no longer Liu, but her husband's surname is Tao." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she looked at Lin Qinghuan with a smile.

"Last name Tao? I remember Sister Mo's master's last name was Tao, nicknamed Fairy Tao." Lin Qinghuan murmured, then looked at Liu Xi, who nodded and smiled at him, with an incredulous look, "Senior Fairy Tao is the great aunt of that place?"

"Logically, I should call her aunt, but she became a disciple of the Great Yan Patriarch Tao, and later married her senior brother Tao Xing and changed her surname. I haven't seen her since I was a child, but I have heard a lot about her. I just found out that Sister Lin Mo became her disciple." Liu Xi said.

"Could it be that there is another medical genius named Bu among the disciples of Patriarch Tao of Dayan?" Lin Qinghuan asked.

"Yes, Doctor Bu is Cousin Yu's mentor. He has taken him to travel around the world since he was a child." Liu Xi nodded and said.

"East is Tao and West is Liu. The original surname of Patriarch Tao was Tao, but he didn't like peach wood, so he wrote it as Tao. The world's medical masters originated from three paths, one is Tao and the other is Liu." He Su took a sip of tea after saying this.

"What about the other one?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"There is also a way called poison medicine, which is the medical art from the foreign land of China. It uses poison to harm people and also to cure people, so outsiders call it a poison doctor. Now the most powerful one is the red-bellied snake. Anything that has been touched by her hands must not be easily contaminated." He Su said, looking at the children.

"Mother, the descendants of Dongtao and Xiliu are Sister Mo and Sister Xi. It is they who will carry forward the medical tradition in the future!" Lin Qinghuan said.

"I dare not. My medical skills are just the basics. How dare I make such a claim? I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation of Liujiagu." Liu Xi said quickly with a red face and waved her hands.

"You have always been so humble. Aunt Liu Rong said that your talent is much higher than hers, so you will inherit her mantle, right? I used to be curious about where your medical family came from, but now I know that it is such a powerful medical family." Lin Qinghuan said in amazement.

"Practicing medicine and saving lives has always been the happiest thing for me." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly. Hong Qi stood at the door and glanced at her.

"You are very similar to Sister Mo. When she was a child, she told me that practicing medicine is to save lives. If she can't save people, all her medical skills will be wasted and she will just be called a mediocre person!" After Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, He Su smiled.

"Is Miss Liuxi taking care of Huan'er's fetus now?" He Su asked.

"Well, my mother-in-law has handed over full authority to Xier, so now I will listen to her." Lin Qinghuan nodded.

"With Miss Liuxi here, your grandmother and I can rest assured." He Su said.

"Huan'er, are you still vomiting now?" Lin Qingyao asked.

Lin Qinghuan shook his head.

"Ever since last night's meal, I've felt refreshed and everything smells delicious. I thought the last few days were killing me. Seeing my husband every day is annoying. He even said he'd settle the score with that annoying monkey once he gets out."

Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but smile when she thought of Xiao Yiqing, whom she had disliked these days.

"That's it. Just get through it. Now I guess you must be sticking to him again." Lin Qingyao now especially likes to tease Lin Qinghuan.

"Big sister... have you treated your brother-in-law like this before?" Lin Qinghuan asked mischievously.

"It's already the second time, we're doubly disgusted!" Lin Qingyao said, and everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Qinghuan sat for a while, then got up and went to Grandmother Lin's yard, staying with the old lady for a long time. At lunchtime, He Su sent someone to look for him back at Tengjing Pavilion.

At the Liangting Temple in the north of the city, Lin Qingwan and her two personal maids came to burn incense and worship Buddha. When they were having vegetarian food in the back hall, the personal maids hurried in.

"Girl, she's here." Bai Lu whispered in a low voice.

"Okay, I got it. Tell her to wait for me in the pavilion." Lin Qingwan put down the chopsticks in her hand, took the white handkerchief handed to her by the maid Yan Zi, wiped it carefully, and then slowly stood up.

"It's been six years. Mother should have been reincarnated by now." Lin Qingwan muttered to herself as she looked at the hillside in the distance.

Yan Zi didn't hear clearly what the lady said, and she looked up in the direction where she was in a daze. Lin Qingwan stood there for a while, then called the maid to go to the pavilion together.

Bai Lu was waiting outside the pavilion. A woman was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion. Lin Qingwan glanced at Bai Lu, and the maid nodded and asked Yan Zi to retreat together.

"Miss, it's been six years. My biggest wish back then was that you could marry well." The woman looked up at Lin Qingwan who was sitting opposite her.

"What's the point of marrying well? You may look glorious in front of people but be miserable behind their backs. Aunt Sanniang, why are you still staying in this temple?" Lin Qingwan asked the woman in front of her who had served her mother for more than ten years.

"Because what should be done has not been done, and the revenge that should be taken has not been taken." Feng Sanniang looked up at Lin Qingwan and said, the scar on her eyebrow was still the same as before.

"Why was my mother executed by my grandmother back then?" Lin Qingwan asked.

"My lady, everything my wife did was for you. Old Madam Lin was truly cruel. If the general were still here, my lady wouldn't have died so tragically. The general doted on my lady so much. If she were still alive, my lady would be the legitimate daughter now, and that wild girl would never have been elevated to a higher status."

As Feng Sanniang spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fists, and Lin Qingwan heard the sound of her knuckles clicking.

"What did mother do to make grandma want her life?" Lin Qingwan asked again.

"Miss, it's just a fight in the inner court. There's no right or wrong. If the concubine's daughter hadn't pretended to be sick with the fifth lady, you wouldn't have been discovered. It's because the fourth prince deceived you and used you that you were harmed." Feng Sanniang said indignantly.

"Aunt Sanniang, Qinghuan was so young at that time that she knew nothing. How could she come up with these ideas?" Lin Qingwan shook her head in disbelief.

"Also, the Fourth Prince just played the piano with me. He didn't do anything else. I know nothing about it. How can I say that he used me?"

"My lady, before she died, she told me not to tell you these things. I have failed her. When I have done what I wanted to do, I will commit suicide to accompany her. I only ask that you take good care of my only child."

Feng Sanniang held Lin Qingwan's hand and said with tears in her eyes.

Lin Qingwan neither nodded nor shook her head, but just looked at Feng Sanniang.

When the woman told Lin Qingwan the details of what happened that year, she realized that her mother was ruthlessly killed by her grandmother with a cup of poisoned wine, and Feng Sanniang had one leg broken and was sold away.

"Was mother in pain at that time? I heard that drinking poisoned wine would be extremely painful..." Lin Qingwan couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke, her mind full of the scene of Chang Xinrui carefully teaching her to play the piano.

"Miss, the man is gone. Now it's time for us to do something. We can't let your wife die in vain." Feng Sanniang said in a very hoarse voice.

"Aunt Sanniang, did you do something?" Lin Qingwan asked Feng Sanniang.

"Her mother didn't survive childbirth, so she should be no different now." Feng Sanniang suddenly said with a cold smile.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's Grandpa Lin's most beloved granddaughter, Madam Xiao! Haha..." Feng Sanniang looked up at Lin Qingwan and said.

Lin Qingwan looked at her in confusion, "What did you do?"

In the main courtyard of the Lin Mansion, Lin Qinghuan was watching Xiao Qiannan and Lin Qingyi competing in pitching pots with a smile on his face, while Chuxia was carefully helping them count.

Hongqi sat back on her favorite rooftop, the afterglow of the winter sunset cast on her body. Liuxi looked up curiously at the shadow on the roof.

"Hongqi has always liked lying there. I have been there before and the scenery is indeed different." Lin Qinghuan saw Liuxi looking at Hongqi and spoke.

"Cousin, is it convenient for Hongqi to live in Suheju with her identity?" Liu Xi asked tentatively.

"Grandmother has already given her to me, so naturally she has to live in my Suhe Residence. Now that father and An Cai are not at home, I am worried about elder sister and grandmother, so I didn't let her follow me to Qingbo Courtyard." Lin Qinghuan looked up at Hong Qi and said casually.

"Ah? Will my cousin agree?" Liu Xi asked in disbelief.

"My husband already knows Hongqi's background. He said it's okay, and he feels at ease with Hongqi around." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Did my cousin really say that?" Liu Xi still didn't believe it, so she asked again.

"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Qinghuan looked at Liu Xi strangely, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Qiannan had said to her.

"This... this is a bit impolite!" Liu Xi said embarrassedly.

"Oh, my God, didn't Nan'er tell you?" Lin Qinghuan suddenly looked at Liu Xi in surprise and said.

"Say...what did you say?" Liu Xi looked at Lin Qinghuan's exaggerated reaction in surprise.

"Liuxi, Hongqi...she is the same as us." Lin Qinghuan said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Liu Xi looked puzzled.

"Hongqi is not a young man, she is a girl!" Lin Qinghuan said.

"What?" Liu Xi looked at Lin Qinghuan in shock.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha...it turns out you really misunderstood!" Lin Qinghuan couldn't help laughing.

"That time on the carriage, she didn't let me heal her wounds. I... I... Oh! Really!" Liu Xi looked at the figure on the roof with shame and annoyance, but saw the figure turned his head to look at them.

When Xiao Qiannan finished pouring the pot and walked over, she saw Lin Qinghuan's face flushed with laughter and Liu Xi's face blushed with embarrassment.
