A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Lin Qingyao's heart tightened unconsciously when she saw her sister frowning. Such a cautious personality made people feel a little distressed.

"Come, sit closer to your sister." Lin Qingyao waved to Lin Qingwan and said.

Seeing this, Lin Qingwan let go of the handkerchief in her hand, stood up and sat down on the couch next to Lin Qingyao.

"Wan'er, tell your elder sister, do you dislike your husband Wang Xin?" Lin Qingyao asked gently.

"Big sister... I... What's the point of me saying this now? I'm already married." Although Lin Qingwan was a little surprised, she still said in a lonely voice.

"Although Wang Xin was born into a good family, he was unexpectedly a lustful man. He used that clean backyard to deceive our family, so that daddy carefully chose a home for you. Now you are so unhappy. Daddy is very upset when he mentions this." Lin Qingyao knew how lively Wang Xin's backyard was, and she felt a little angry for a moment.

"Every woman is different, and men will have their own preferences. I was born with an unpleasant personality, and it will be the same no matter who I marry. I can't blame anyone else." Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice.

"Nonsense, everyone knows that the children of our Lin family are all good-looking. We are from a family background that ordinary people can't reach. How can they be unpopular?" Lin Qingyao said.

"Big sister... I... I don't have any extravagant hopes in this life. I'll just live in this muddle." Lin Qingwan felt very distressed. The man she loved was her sister's husband, and the man she married was very annoyed when she saw him every day.

"How can you think like that? We only have one life to live, so we should live it to the fullest."

"What can I do now? When I see my husband, I... I don't want to pay attention to him. He can naturally see my expression clearly, so he simply doesn't come to my room to make himself unhappy. Big sister, why do you mention this? Did anyone say anything to Dad?" Lin Qingwan asked, wiping away her tears.

"Your mother-in-law has been gossiping to mother, saying in various ways that your pregnancy is a failure. I guess you must be very cold to your third brother-in-law, which has made father angry at your mother-in-law for her gossip. He's afraid you'll be bullied in the Wang family."

After Lin Qingyao finished speaking, she looked at Lin Qingwan, who had been lowering her head and frowning in deep thought.

"Big sister... do I... do I have to have children for someone I don't love?" Lin Qingwan suddenly looked up and asked.

"This... If you don't give birth to children for him, and instead let those concubines give birth to children before you, who will you rely on in the future? Silly girl." Lin Qingyao said in shock.

"I don't know, big sister, what should I do?" Lin Qingwan looked at Lin Qingyao with drooping eyes, looking very pitiful.

"Wan'er, what else can you do now? You have to adjust your mindset and stop being so stubborn. You have to live your life and have a child, even if it's just a son. In the future, if you want to focus on your music school, there won't be any gossips. Your mother's family will support you no matter what."

Lin Qingyao patted Lin Qingwan's hand and said.

"I'll think about it carefully. Big sister, you go and talk to dad. Wan'er won't make him worry." Lin Qingwan nodded and said.

"You are the most sensible and considerate. When I am no longer with Jin Han, I will leave this group of brothers and sisters to you." Lin Qingyao said softly, "Brothers and sisters work together, and only then can we live a better life. Remember this."

"Yes, Wan'er knows."

"Go, go find Huan'er, she is still waiting for you to play the piano!" Lin Qingyao said.

After Lin Qingwan left Qianyueju, she looked back for a long time, then sighed, lowered her head and walked towards the northeast.

"Miss, aren't we going to Suheju?" Bai Lu, the personal maid, asked when she saw Lin Qingwan turning towards her own yard.

"I went back to the yard to get some music. I dropped it in a hurry when I was changing clothes just now." Lin Qingwan said as she walked.

"Yeah." Bai Lu quickened her pace to catch up.

When they reached the inner courtyard gate, Lin Qingwan stopped again and said to Bai Lu, "Go to the kitchen and wash the fruit I brought this morning. It should be very sweet."

After the maid left, Lin Qingwan went into the house. After a while, she came out again with a music sheet in her hand and handed it to Bai Lu who was carrying a food box.

Lin Qinghuan had woken up from a nap and was sitting downstairs at the piano, practicing the music that Lin Qingwan had taught her a few days ago.

"It's true that a good teacher will have an outstanding student. The girl's playing is getting better and better now." Chu Xia squatted beside her and said approvingly.

"Yeah, I also feel that it's so smooth when I play now. I was ignorant then and just wanted to touch it casually a few times. Now I have been patient and learned it seriously. I feel that I like playing the piano more and more." Lin Qinghuan said as he stopped stroking the strings in his hand.

"I've said before that my daughter is the smartest and learns things quickly." Chu Xia always thought that Lin Qinghuan was the best, and at this moment she was looking at her with admiration.

"I was sitting leisurely in Suheju, playing the zither with great joy. Suddenly, I heard a sound outside the window, like the singing of a gentle breeze." Lin Qinghuan began to compose a poem while playing the zither.

"Huan'er's poem is well written. You have made great progress." Xiao Yi's voice came from the door, and Yun Xiang followed him in.

Lin Qinghuan turned around and looked at the tall figure coming towards him with the backlight, and couldn't help but frowning.

Chu Xia and Yun Xiang looked at each other and then walked out.

"Why are you here?" Lin Qinghuan asked calmly when she saw Xiao Yilin approaching her.

"It's New Year's vacation, and I came back first since I have nothing to do." Xiao Yi said, touching the woman's hair.

"I didn't plan to go home so early. I have an appointment with my third sister and I have piano lessons." Lin Qinghuan didn't move, letting the man's hand move from her head to her face.

"Well, it doesn't matter how late it is, I'll stay with you." Xiao Yi said.

"My body is not good now..." Lin Qinghuan was interrupted by Xiao Yi's eyes before she could finish her words.

"You are not feeling well, so I don't need you to serve me." Xiao Yi said.

"I was too ignorant in the past and asked you to neglect the backyard. There is a lot of gossip in the mansion, and I don't want to listen to it anymore. In the future, my husband should go to other places more often." Lin Qinghuan said with her head down.

"What gossip?" Xiao Yi casually brought a round stool and sat in front of Lin Qinghuan and asked.

"There is gossip, and it's not pleasant to listen to. Why bother learning it?"

"I want to know what gossip made you push me away like this?" Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan's eyes that were unwilling to look him in the eye, and asked.

Lin Qinghuan said nothing more, just lowered his head.

"Huan'er, I stayed at Huaying Pavilion last night. Are you really not sad at all?" Xiao Yi asked.

"I'm not sad. Sister Li is also your concubine, so it's her responsibility to carry on your family line. I've said before that I was ignorant before." Lin Qinghuan bit her lip, then looked up and smiled slightly at Xiao Yi and said.

"Mother was looking for you and asked me to go to Huaying Pavilion, so you remind me every day and push me out of Qingbo Courtyard, right?" Xiao Yi said, and Lin Qinghuan looked at him stupidly.

"Since I'm already gone, then I'll fulfill my mother's wish. It also allows me to not be so harsh on the people in your backyard." After Lin Qinghuan said this, his heart couldn't help but tighten. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

"I was very tired yesterday and went to bed early, so I couldn't fulfill my mother's wish."

Xiao Yi plucked the zither in front of Lin Qinghuan with his hand, and heard a beautiful sound of the zither rising leisurely and echoing in the room.

"You...you must be so sad for Sister Li..." Lin Qinghuan felt both happy and ashamed.

"I went to pay my respects to my mother early in the morning. From now on, you don't have to be your mistress who pretends to be virtuous but is actually jealous." Xiao Yi picked up his silly wife and walked upstairs to the boudoir.

"You...you are annoying. My...mother will definitely think that I am..." Lin Qinghuan said anxiously while patting Xiao Yi.

"Mother said to let me go as long as you give me a few more children." Xiao Yi put the woman in his arms on the couch and said.

"Husband...you...are so bad." Lin Qinghuan said secretly and shyly.

"Then do you want to give birth to a few more children for your husband?" Xiao Yi held Lin Qinghuan's little face close and asked.

"How many does my husband want?" Lin Qinghuan asked with a blushing face.

"Having you is enough." Xiao Yi held Lin Qinghuan's small face in his big hands and gently stroked it, saying softly, "Nothing else matters."

Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi, her eyes curved, and she smiled happily, then she put her face against Xiao Yi's chest and hugged him tightly.

"Third Miss, the son-in-law is inside." Chu Xia's voice came from the inner courtyard downstairs.

"Ah... In that case, I'll go back first." Lin Qingwan said.

"Third sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come down now." Lin Qinghuan shouted hurriedly when she saw this, and then wanted to get up and get off the bed.

"I'll carry you down." Xiao Yi held her down and said.

"No, my sister is here." Lin Qinghuan shook her head, then took Xiao Yi's hand and motioned him to sit down.

"Husband, just go upstairs and get a book while you listen to me play music." Lin Qinghuan said coquettishly. Xiao Yi smiled slightly and nodded. The woman happily leaned forward and kissed the man. Then she asked the maid to go upstairs and help her down. After a while, beautiful piano sounds came from downstairs.

Xiao Yi picked up a book that interested him from the books that Lin Qinghuan loved to read in her spare time and started reading it. Every few pages he could see the woman's careful notes. Although her handwriting was not beautiful enough, it became more and more neat as it went on. It seemed that she had put a lot of effort into it.

The two sisters played for about an hour, then the music stopped and they sat down at the table to chat and eat fruit.

"Oh! Sister Wan, I forgot my husband is still upstairs." Lin Qinghuan suddenly thought of Xiao Yi and sighed.

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, she knew Xiao Yi was upstairs.

"Yun Xiang, go upstairs and call your husband down to eat some fruit." Lin Qinghuan said a little embarrassedly.

After Xiao Yi came down, Lin Qinghuan looked at him with a grin, "My dear, the fruit is sweet and more refreshing than the tea brewed upstairs this morning."

Lin Qingwan raised her eyes to glance at Xiao Yi, then lowered her head and smiled faintly.

"I listened to the piano music upstairs for a while. You have improved a lot." Xiao Yi sat down and said to Lin Qinghuan.

"That's because I have a good teacher. My third sister is the best piano player in the world. There is no one else like her." Lin Qinghuan said proudly while holding Lin Qingwan's arm.

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded.

"Huan'er, just talk about this in private. There are many people who are better than me." Lin Qingwan said with a blush.

"I'm telling you the truth. Third sister, there's no need to be so modest. My husband, my third sister's music school is doing pretty well now. There are many musicians in it now." Lin Qinghuan said as he picked up a fruit and waved it in front of Xiao Yi's face.

"Well, I know. It's at the entrance of an alley in the east of the city, but the location is a bit remote and the house is relatively small. If there are more musicians in the future, it will be crowded." Xiao Yi glanced at Lin Qingwan and said.

"I've looked for many houses, but couldn't find a suitable one." Lin Qingwan's voice was melodious and pleasant, and because she was talking to Xiao Yi at this time, she spoke in a very gentle voice.

"Husband, do you have any suitable place to recommend to my third sister? We are not familiar with Jin Han at all." Lin Qinghuan asked.

"There is a house in Kuihua Lane in the south of the city. It was used as a music school many years ago. Now it is a bit dilapidated and in disrepair. It would be very suitable to renovate it." Xiao Yi said after thinking for a while.

"Hmm? To whom does such a nice house belong? Let's find an opportunity to buy it. Your current Quiet Hall is a bit remote, and it's difficult for the carriage to stop at the door." Lin Qinghuan said while pulling Lin Qingwan.

"Well, I've heard of Sunflower Lane. It's very lively there, and there are several music halls here." Lin Qingwan smiled and nodded, then looked up at Xiao Yi.

"It's mine." Xiao Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Lin Qingwan looked at him in surprise, then her expression calmed down.

"So it belongs to my husband. No wonder you know this place." Lin Qinghuan was not very surprised. The Xiao family was wealthy, so it was normal for them to have many houses, just like the Lin family in Luofeng.

"It's yours too. You can do whatever you want with it." Xiao Yi said to Lin Qinghuan again.

"After that year, let Dayuan take care of the renovations. Third sister, if you have any requests, just tell Dayuan." Lin Qinghuan said happily.

"This... How can I use your house? I can find it myself. Why bother..." Lin Qingwan said, secretly glancing at Xiao Yi.

"You are so busy now, how can you have the time to worry about this? Da Yuan is very free, so it's a good opportunity to find something for him to do. Besides, my zither skills were all taught by my third sister. In the future, I will be the apprentice of the number one zither master in Da Sheng. We are sisters, so why should we distinguish between you and me?"

As Lin Qinghuan spoke, she searched for the cherry she wanted to eat in the food plate. After searching for a long time, Xiao Yi reached out and took one for her. Lin Qinghuan looked at him and smiled sweetly.

Lin Qingwan looked at the two people who were in love and had a tacit understanding, and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved and disappointed.

"Huan'er, let's stop here for today. I'm going to look for my father and then go back home." Lin Qingwan stood up and said.

"Third sister, aren't you going to have dinner with me?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously. They had agreed on this in the morning.

"There are some things going on in the temporary residence, so I'll go back and take care of them first." Lin Qingwan said after thinking for a while.

"Okay then." Lin Qinghuan said with a little disappointment.

Lin Qingwan bowed to Xiao Yi and went out. Bai Lu, the maid at the door, also followed her daughter out of Suheju.

"You are very generous." Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan who was still looking at Lin Qingwan's departing back, tapped Lin Qinghuan's head gently and said.

"Husband, you have already told Huan'er that she can make her own decision. Are you going to go back on your word now?" Lin Qinghuan asked, turning her head and covering her forehead.

"No, everything I have is yours."
