A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Lin Qinghuan had already woken up in the room. Liu Ji, Lin Mo and Xiao Qianwen had been sitting inside for a long time to avoid suspicion.

Liu Ji held her beloved grandson in her arms and kept smiling at the sleeping baby.

"Look how much this child looks like Huan'er, with delicate features." Liu Rong also kept sighing beside him.

"My grandson will naturally pick out the best parts of his parents to grow up. Look how white his little hands are. Grandma likes them no matter how she looks at them."

Liu Ji couldn't help but hold the child tighter. Liu Rong tried to go forward and hug the child several times, but she was reluctant to let go of her.

"The eldest sister is becoming more and more stingy."

Liu Rong said angrily as she withdrew her hand.

"It depends on what you are generous or stingy about. I can't even hold my precious grandson enough, so how can I bear to give you enough?"

Liu Ji said with a smile.

"My mother loves her grandchildren so much. I don't know if she favors my child or if she treats all her grandchildren equally."

Lin Qinghuan suddenly spoke while lying on the bed.

Xiao Qianwen looked at her in surprise. Lin Mo sat on the edge of the bed and shook his head at Lin Qinghuan with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Huan'er loves to joke around. Aunt Xiao naturally favors our Huan'er's child the most. After all, he is the eldest grandson of the Xiao family."

Lin Mo quickly tried to smooth things over.

Liu Rong looked helplessly at the bed slightly covered by the curtains, then looked up at Liu Ji.

"Of course I like my little grandson. Grandma must like you the most, right?"

Liu Ji understood the hidden meaning of Lin Qinghuan's words, and also remembered Xiao Bowen's repeated instructions not to mention the child outside in front of Lin Qinghuan. So she hugged the baby and spoke to him affectionately with a smile.

As they were talking, Chu Xia walked in to meet Lin Mutang and He Su, and Xiao Yi followed obediently behind.

"Baby, look who's here. Grandpa and grandma are here."

Liu Ji walked towards He Su with the baby in her arms and a smile on her face. Seeing that the two of them no longer had any anger on their faces, she knew that everything should be fine.

"Huan'er is still very weak now. It's not good for her to rest in this noisy room. Why don't we go out first?" Lin Mo stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll have a few more words with your father and Huan'er before returning home."

He Su looked at her sensible and intelligent second daughter and nodded.

Liu Ji, Liu Rong, and Xiao Qianwen also took the child to find the wet nurse waiting outside.

After Yun Xiang and Chu Xia followed Lin Mo out, they closed the door for the people in the room.

Lin Qinghuan opened her eyes and saw Xiao Yi was there, so she turned her head away.

"Huan'er, your father has been busy for the past few days and hasn't slept a wink. I'll go back home with him for a while. We'll stay in Jinhan for a while. Tomorrow I'll come to see you with your favorite snacks."

He Su held Lin Qinghuan's hand and said gently.

Lin Qinghuan nodded sensibly and looked at Lin Muchang again.

"Daddy, please go back and rest early. When Huan'er is well again, she will come back to see you. Then mother won't have to worry about Huan'er every day. Ru'er is still young, and I am worried about her. I hope mother will take good care of Huan'er during her time in Beijing."

Lin Qinghuan said.

"Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will take good care of Huan'er." Xiao Yi said as he stood next to Lin Muchang.

"Well, you take good care of her. We won't disturb Huan'er's rest for now."

Lin Mutang gently patted his daughter's face, then stood up with the help of He Su. Xiao Yi walked the two of them out of the house, and Lin Mutang waved to him to indicate that he didn't need to walk them anymore.

In the yard, Xiao Bowen and his wife accompanied Lin Mutang and his wife as they walked towards the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

Yun Xiang had already thoughtfully replaced the room with Lin Qinghuan's favorite calming incense, and put the fresh flowers that Li Jiaxin sent yesterday into a vase and placed it where Lin Qinghuan could see it at a glance. After all, she loved appreciating flowers the most, and perhaps this would make her feel much better.

"My husband, have you persuaded my father and mother to reconcile with the Xiao family?"

Lin Qinghuan said as he looked at Xiao Yi who had been sitting by the bed.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are willing to give me a chance to atone for my sins. Huan'er, can you give me another chance too?"

Xiao Yi reached out and held Lin Qinghuan's hand and murmured softly.

"I've already said that from now on we should treat each other with respect and just raise a child together. I won't ask or interfere in your future affairs. However, I have one request."

Lin Qinghuan said weakly.

"Just tell me, I'll agree to anything you ask."

Xiao Yi said immediately.

"I want to go back to Luoyi Pavilion." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked puzzledly.

"Because that was originally my courtyard. If my husband wants to see the child, just ask Yunxiang to bring him to Qingbo Courtyard. You and I won't have to see each other every day."

"Huan'er, you are my wife. Even if you hate me or resent me, you can't avoid seeing me."

Xiao Yi said in a very sad voice.

"I've figured it out. I used to have too many extravagant fantasies that didn't belong to me, which made your backyard so deserted. Although you all kept it a secret from me, I knew the condition of my own body. I saved my life with that one medicine, but my body is now in ruins. It's your freedom to marry a concubine or a concubine, and I won't interfere with the Xiao family's continued offspring."

Lin Qinghuan slowly pulled his hand away and looked at Xiao Yi calmly.

Xiao Yi shook his head and pulled Lin Qinghuan's hand back to his face and said.

"I don't have such plans. Since I had you, other women are nothing to me. As for children, Jane is enough for us."

"Jian'er..." Lin Qinghuan murmured.

"Well, our child's name is Xiao Xingjian." Xiao Yi said.

Lin Qinghuan had spent several months reading poetry and books before choosing this name. At that time, she was so happy that she was showing off to Xiao Yi, thinking that she had chosen a particularly good name for her child.

"Does what you just said still count?" Lin Qinghuan asked.

"Of course it counts."

"Then let me return to Luoyi Pavilion."

"Anything else is fine except this."

"you…"

Lin Qinghuan frowned and looked at Xiao Yi speechlessly.

"Huan'er, I won't let you leave me. Even if I become a scoundrel, I won't let you push me away."

Xiao Yi gently held Lin Qinghuan in his arms and said.

"You don't keep your word when you're like this."

Lin Qinghuan pushed and slapped Xiao Yi with both hands and said dissatisfiedly.

"You can treat me as a scoundrel. I can do whatever you want with everything else, but I won't let you leave. I won't leave the yard these days. I will accompany you every day and serve my Huan'er."

Xiao Yi let Lin Qinghuan hit him without any pain, but he was unable to break free from his embrace.

"Why are you like this? This is not you."

Lin Qinghuan struggled a few times but found it was no use, so he gave up struggling angrily.

"Huan'er, dear Huan'er, please don't be angry with your husband, okay? The matter with the child was also a mistake I made when I was young. I just didn't want to make you upset so I kept it a secret from you. I also felt that there was no need to let these things disturb our peace."

Xiao Yi gently let go of Lin Qinghuan, held her shoulders and spoke seriously.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Hao Huan'er, can you please forgive me this time?"

Seeing that Lin Qinghuan didn't say anything, Xiao Yi continued to apologize.

Lin Qinghuan looked at this very familiar face full of sincerity and calm eyes, and her heart softened unconsciously. Could it be that she had to forgive him just like that?

"We still have to go on with our lives, and I don't want to be angry with you anymore."

Lin Qinghuan felt a little tired and exhausted when he just woke up. He was so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed. It was useless to argue with him, so he just went to sleep.

Seeing that Lin Qinghuan looked tired, Xiao Yi helped her lie down and whispered in her ear.

"Huan'er, you fall asleep first. I'll read on the couch and stay with you."

"The Sixth Prince saved my life again. We are still husband and wife now. You should thank him first on my behalf. When I am well again, I will go and thank him in person."

Lin Qinghuan closed her eyes. She was indeed tired and fell asleep soon after.

Xiao Yi looked at the sleeping woman's face and breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was saved. But when he thought of the suffering she had endured, he couldn't help but frown.
