A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Lin Qinghuan and the others instantly became interested when they heard the familiar voice. They looked at each other and made hushing gestures, just like three gossipy women.

"Yong'er, didn't you promise your aunt to listen to your mother? Why are you making noise again now?" Tao Baiwan asked.

"Your Highness, Yong'er heard that his father has come, and wants... wants to go and see him." Chang Le said in a low voice.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I said that I would let you and your son into the mansion after I marry Brother Yu Yi. Why don't you believe me?"

Tao Baiwan said unhappily.

When Lin Qingwan heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Lin Qinghuan.

"Your Highness, will the abbot really...really...marry you?"

Chang Le glanced at the rockery and asked deliberately.

"Of course, he promised me. Brother Yi would never lie to me. He would marry me as his second wife after Changping gave birth to the child. I have already made a concession. Not forcing him to divorce his wife is already a kindness."

Tao Baiwan deliberately raised his voice and said

"Has the young lady agreed to this matter? I heard that they are very much in love." Chang Le asked.

"It doesn't matter whether she agrees or not. I'll just inform her, not ask for her opinion. This is a matter between me and Brother Yi."

Tao Baiwan said with disdain.

"Then Chang Le would like to congratulate His Highness on the success of this good thing."

Chang Le said flatteringly.

Lin Qinghuan angrily lifted her skirt and walked behind the rockery.

"Sister-in-law..."

"Huan'er, slow down."

Lin Qingwan and Xiao Qianwen hurriedly chased after him.

"You're lying. When will my husband marry you? You're just imagining things, aren't you?"

Lin Qinghuan walked over angrily and questioned.

"Who was that? How did Princess Changping wander over here? She scared me."

Tao Baiwan asked Lin Qinghuan with a fake smile.

"What did you mean by that? And have you been pretending to be crazy?"

Lin Qinghuan looked at the two of them and asked.

"My mother is not crazy, you are all bad people!" The little boy shouted at Lin Qinghuan.

"Who is your father?" Lin Qinghuan walked up to the little boy and asked.

"My father is Xiao..."

Before the little boy could finish speaking, Chang Le quickly covered his mouth.

"Young Madam...don't blame Yong'er, he's just a child."

Chang Le knelt in front of Lin Qinghuan and hugged his child and said.

"Xiao what, who is his father?"

Lin Qinghuan looked at the woman kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face.

"My father is Xiao Yi."

The little boy broke free from Chang Le's hand and shouted at Lin Qinghuan.

"Sister-in-law..."

Xiao Qianwen felt that Lin Qinghuan was staggering a little, so she and Lin Qingwan hurried forward to support her.

"You are talking nonsense. How could our Xiao family not know when Big Brother had a son? Sister-in-law, don't listen to their nonsense."

Seeing this, Xiao Qianwen quickly blamed Chang Le.

"So you didn't know about this. I was thinking you were so generous!"

Tao Baiwan walked around to Lin Qinghuan, helped Chang Le and his mother up and said.

"Wen'er, is this true?"

Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Qianwen suspiciously, and suddenly felt that the entire Xiao family was deceiving him.

"Sister-in-law, it must be fake. Think about how eager mother is to have a grandson. If it is really big brother's child, why would she let him stay here? He should have been brought back to the mansion long ago."

Xiao Qianwen explained.

"That's because her mother was born of low status. How could she enter the Xiao Mansion? That's why Yong'er has to live here too."

Tao Baiwan said with a muffled groan, Chang Le frowned, clenched the handkerchief, and hugged his son tightly again.

"Look up and let me see."

Lin Qinghuan stretched out his hand to signal Lin Qingwan not to support him, then lowered his head and spoke to the boy.

The little boy looked up at Lin Qinghuan with an unhappy expression, but saw the woman in front of him crying.

"Wen'er, look carefully, his eyebrows and eyes are so much like your older brother's."

Lin Qinghuan said with a trembling voice.

Xiao Qianwen looked at Lin Qinghuan's lost and lifeless look, and couldn't help feeling sad too, so she could only step forward and support her.

"Sister-in-law, there must be a misunderstanding..."

Lin Qingwan was shocked at this time. She always thought that Xiao Yi doted on his sister so much, but now he had a son inexplicably and wanted to marry a concubine.

"I don't want to hide it from you anymore. Brother Yi has already said that we will get married after you give birth to the child. I won't force him to divorce his wife. I love him, so I will let you stay in the Xiao Mansion. As for Yong'er, he will be raised by my knees in the future, and Chang Le will also follow me into the mansion."

Seeing that there was no one around, Tao Baiwan spoke.

"You're dreaming."

Lin Qinghuan raised his head and looked at Tao Baiwan and spoke word by word.

"Changping, do you really think Brother Yi would let you do what you want? If you weren't pregnant with his child, you wouldn't really think he loved you, right?"

Tao Baiwan sneered at Lin Qinghuan and said, then leaned close to her ear, "Or Princess Changping, is the person you love my brother Yi?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Qinghuan frowned and looked at the woman whom she disliked so much and shouted.

"Do you really think that no one knows about the bad things you did in the past? Don't you know who you were originally promised to, Princess Changping?" Tao Baiwan said to Lin Qinghuan angrily.

"Huan'er, let's ignore these two crazy women. They must be talking nonsense."

Seeing that Lin Qinghuan's face was very pale, Lin Qingwan hurried forward and supported her with Xiao Qianwen, wanting to take her away.

"Take good care of yourself, Princess Changping. If the child is gone, I can't guarantee that my wedding to Brother Yi won't be brought forward."

Tao Baiwan continued to speak provocatively, then laughed and left a few people where they were. Chang Le glanced at Lin Qinghuan, and hurriedly took the child and Tao Baiwan away from this dangerous place.

"I thought she was so arrogant, a princess so shameless as to cling to someone else's husband. It turns out that everything was just his tacit approval. I am the big joke."

Lin Qinghuan bit her lip and murmured to Tao Baiwan's arrogant back, tears of shame streaming down her face.

"Huan'er, don't listen to their nonsense. Fifth brother-in-law is not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding."

Lin Qingwan looked at Tao Baiwan's back with disgust. It was already unbearable for her that the man she loved married her sister, and now a childhood sweetheart appeared and wanted to be his concubine. Thinking of this, she held the handkerchief in her hand tighter.

"Sister Wan, I...I was so stupid that I didn't know anything. It turns out he's been lying to me all along. How could I not know anything?"

Lin Qinghuan cried and sat down on the ground weakly. She felt anxious, depressed and furious.

"Sister-in-law, please take care of yourself. Don't get angry. Don't...sister-in-law...sister-in-law."

Xiao Qianwen was about to comfort her when she saw that Lin Qinghuan had fainted from anger with a pale face.

"Third sister Lin, hurry up and call someone, my sister-in-law is not feeling well."

Xiao Qianwen sat on the ground and hugged Lin Qinghuan's soft body tightly, letting her lean on her. She reached out and touched the wetness under Lin Qinghuan's body, and raised her blood-red hands tremblingly.

"Sister-in-law...don't scare me..."

Lin Qingwan ran out in small steps and saw the drunk Zi Yan sitting with Ning Sijue in the pavilion.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, help me, Huan'er is in trouble..."

Lin Qingwan ran over anxiously.

"Hey... why are there two Madam Wangs here?"

Zi Yan's eyes were still very blurry. She looked at the dazed figure of Lin Qingwan running towards her from a distance and spoke loudly.

Ning Sijue quickly stepped forward and supported the staggering Lin Qingwan.

"What happened to Huan'er?"

"She fainted..."

Before Lin Qingwan could finish her words, she saw Ning Sijue disappear in an instant, leaving only his back.

"In Taoyuan..." Lin Qingwan shouted from behind.

"Huh? Who fainted?"

Zi Yan sat in the pavilion in a daze, talking to herself drunkenly

Tao Baiwan was sitting in the front hall of the backyard. Ning Jinyang was sitting above him, frowning and looking at the wing room opposite anxiously. Busy maids and servants were coming in and out with hot water. Xiao Yi was standing in the yard, looking at the wing room. Lin Qingwan was sitting on a stone bench not far from Xiao Yi, looking at him all the time.

After a while, Zi Yan, who had sobered up from the fright, hurried into the house with a few midwives.

"Second brother, stop glaring at me. Yong'er is young and naive, and I went there to comfort him out of good intentions. Who knew Changping would eavesdrop on our conversation behind the rockery?"

Tao Baiwan pretended to be innocent and said to Ning Jinyang.

"You... why did you ask Chang Le to meet you for no reason? She was originally under guard in the yard, why did she come out and cause such a scene?"

Ning Jinyang said angrily.

"You keep her locked up in the backyard every day, isn't it because of this child? Sooner or later, we have to bring him back to his roots. We can't keep him hidden in this music hall forever."

Tao Baiwan said unconvinced.

"The future of this child is between Yi'er and me. Why are you meddling in this? When was it your turn to worry about it? I've been the one to indulge you all these years, and Changping is still in there, not knowing what's happening. If anything happens to her, I won't let you off."

It was the first time that Tao Baiwan saw Ning Jinyang get so angry with him. He looked at him in disbelief and was stunned for a moment.

"Why do you all favor her so much? I'm your sister. I grew up with you!"

Tao Baiwan looked at Ning Jinyang indignantly, his face full of grievance.

"If you dare to interfere in Chang Le's affairs again, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship."

Ning Jinyang ignored Tao Baiwan's usual throwing tantrums at this time.

Tao Baiwan looked at Ning Jinyang with an angry face, and for the first time realized that he didn't understand his brother very well, and a feeling of fear arose spontaneously.

"What are you all doing standing here? Go help."

Ning Jinyang angrily threw the teacup to the ground and yelled at the maids beside him.

Several maids were frightened and quickly retreated.

Zi Yan, who was in the yard, shuddered with fear when she heard the sound of cups breaking in the front hall. This master had always been smiling during all the years she had served him, and had never been so upset before.

"Master, those maids and servants who were in charge of the yard all went out to eat and get drunk for some reason, which is why Chang Le and Yong Er met."

Zi Yan knelt in front of Xiao Yi and said anxiously.

"All disposed of."

Xiao Yi kept looking at the quiet room and said coldly.

"Master..."

Zi Yan looked up at Xiao Yi in panic, thinking she had misheard.

"Do I need to repeat this little thing again?"

"Yes…"

Zi Yan quickly stood up, walked to the gate of the yard and looked back at Xiao Yi with a dark face.

"Amitabha, may the Great God bless the young lady to be safe and sound, otherwise we will all be buried with her."

Zi Yan kept muttering as she walked, and her maid Dong'er followed her with her head down.

In the side room, Xiao Qianwen's forehead was covered in sweat.

"Sister-in-law, I beg you, will you be obedient? Cooperate with Wen'er and give birth to the baby."

Lin Qinghuan endured the severe pain in her body without saying a word. After learning that she had been kept in the dark, she was no longer willing to bear children for this man.

"Even if I die, I would rather not give birth to a child for your Xiao family. This child is mine, so you should go with me now."

Lin Qinghuan cried tears of pain.

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. If something happens to you, what will big brother do? There must be a misunderstanding. He can't do such a ridiculous thing."

"I didn't belong here in the first place. I just thought it was a dream."

Lin Qinghuan murmured in a low voice, but Xiao Qianwen couldn't quite hear what he said.

"Good sister-in-law, please be obedient, okay? Think about General Lin and Grandma Lin, think about those brothers and sisters who love you... If anything happens to you, how sad they will be."

Xiao Qianwen kept wiping Lin Qinghuan's head with a handkerchief.

"But I hate him so much... I hate him so much."

The severe pain in his body made Lin Qinghuan's consciousness begin to blur again.

"Hurry up and feed Madam the ginseng soup..."

The midwives nearby were also seeing such an uncooperative woman in labor for the first time. They kept feeding her soup and then lifted the quilt to see if there were any signs that the baby was about to come out.

"Sister-in-law... Sister Lin Mo embroidered so many small clothes for our child. You took them out and looked at them carefully every day. You also said you wanted to make tiger-head shoes for the little baby."

Xiao Qianwen knew that the person Lin Qinghuan cared about most was her second sister from her natal family, so she quickly spoke.

Lin Qinghuan closed her eyes, all she could see was Lin Mo's gentle smile. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her lower body that hit her head, and her body couldn't help but tense up.

“Ah…it hurts…Sister Mo…Huan’er is in so much pain.”

"The water has come out, the baby is about to be born, please help the lady quickly." The midwife shouted hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, please try harder, don't faint, sister-in-law..."

Xiao Qianwen quickly held Lin Qinghuan's hand tightly, pinching her philtrum and tiger's mouth acupoints from time to time to prevent her from fainting.

Lin Qinghuan was in excruciating pain at this point. She didn't even understand why she had to endure such a terrible suffering. She was crying in frustration and pain.

Xiao Yi had been standing at the door of the wing room, and his eyes never left the room when he heard the faint crying sounds from inside.

Shen Xin, who was sitting in the boat, didn't expect that she would have such an accident after seeing it. How could she have a miscarriage? When she came here, she had Xiao Yi and three beauties as her companions, but when she returned, she was left alone.

As the child cried, Ning Jinyang hurriedly stood up. Tao Baiwan followed him a few steps. Ning Jinyang turned around and glared at her, and she retreated angrily.

Zi Yan covered her mouth and stumbled to the door of the wing room, chanting "Amitabha" with her hands clasped together.

"It's a little boy, fortunately he's full-term, and he's very energetic, crying loudly."

The midwife opened the door, came out holding the child and said happily.

The next second, Xiao Qianwen's uneasy voice was heard inside.

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law had a hemorrhage..."
