A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Chapter 69 Madam Xiao is ill

Lin Qinghuan had only lived in Suheju for four days when Luo Yun rushed over to call her back.

"Young Madam, the old lady suddenly felt anxious and uncomfortable last night. The eldest son and the master are not at home, so I had no choice but to come look for you." Luo Yun said as he walked.

"Mother Luo, don't worry. I have asked someone to find my sister." Lin Qinghuan said.

"That's good, young madam. We will soon reach the old lady's yard." Luo Yun led Lin Qinghuan forward.

Although she had been in the Xiao Mansion for more than a year, she had only been to Qingyin Pavilion a few times. She thought she was an unqualified daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the Xiao family did not care about these things.

Liu Rong was taking care of Liu Ji.

"Aunt Rong, how is mother?" Lin Qinghuan knew that Liu Rong had some medical skills and had taken her pulse several times.

"This is because my elder sister is overly worried." Liu Rong sighed helplessly.

"You are worrying too much. Is there something bothering you, mother?" Lin Qinghuan asked in confusion. She heard that Commandant Xiao only had one wife and one concubine, and they treated Liu Ji very well. She shouldn't be worrying about anything, unless...

"Oh!" Liu Ji glanced at Lin Qinghuan and said nothing more.

"All of you please leave!" Lin Qinghuan dismissed his attendants.

Liu Rong glanced at Liu Ji and then withdrew.

"Mom, you miss Brother Yu, right?" Lin Qinghuan asked while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Yu'er has been very filial since he was young. Although he often travels around the world with the medical immortal Bu, he never misses a letter from home. He also comes back every day to pay his respects. I raised him from a baby, how can I bear to leave him?" Liu Ji wiped away her tears after saying this.

"Why do people say that he is the son of the Sixth Prince of Dayan? Is Brother Yu really not your biological son?" Lin Qinghuan asked tearfully.

"Twenty years ago, my child was sick when he was born. Before he was out of the month of confinement, he was taken to seek treatment by the master. When he came back, he was only half a year old and no one could recognize him. As his biological mother, how could I not know that the child was no longer the one who was taken away?" Liu Ji said.

"The child brought back is Brother Yu. How could the Sixth Prince's child be brought back by the Grand Marshal?" Lin Qinghuan knew that Gong Zheshan was a very scary person. Even so, how could her own child be stolen and she didn't know about it for so many years.

"A few years after Yu'er came back, the Sixth Princess of Dayan died of illness. Rumor has it that she died because she couldn't bear the pain of losing her son." Liu Ji said.

"Could it be the deceased child?" Lin Qinghuan covered his mouth and looked at Liu Ji uncomfortably.

"Maybe it's my poor child."

"Mother, the Sixth Princess of Dayan is so pitiful!" Lin Qinghuan said suddenly.

"Have you heard of Wei Ran?" Liu Ji asked Lin Qinghuan with a faint smile.

"Wei Ran? This surname sounds so familiar to me. It seems like someone else has the same surname." Lin Qinghuan looked at Liu Ji in confusion.

"Think about what's happening in the palace..." Liu Ji said to Lin Qinghuan.

"Fourth brother's mother's surname is Wei. Are they relatives?" Lin Qinghuan asked in disbelief.

"Have you heard of the foreign land of God?" Liu Ji asked.

"Big brother told me that Shenzhou is almost entirely populated by women."

"Not only that, all of them have the surname Wei," said Liu Ji.

"Mother, are you saying that the Imperial Consort and the Sixth Princess are both women from Miracle Continent?"

"Ah."

Lin Qinghuan was a little surprised. No one had ever told her this.

"Eldest sister, young lady, Madam Jia is here." Liu Rong knocked on the door outside and said.

"Mother, my second sister is here. She is very good at treating heart palpitations." Lin Qinghuan stood up and prepared to open the door.

"Huan'er, do you hate Yu'er? But please don't blame Yi'er. He is a good boy and will love you very much in the future. You are still young now and can't be too obsessed." Liu Ji propped herself up and said.

Lin Qinghuan looked back at her for a long time, then went to open the door for Lin Mo.

After Lin Mo gave Liu Ji an acupuncture and she drank the medicine and fell asleep, the two sisters walked towards the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

"Aren't you going back to your mother's home?" Lin Mo asked.

"Now I'd better stay and take care of mother. After all, she is bedridden and even the two concubines come to serve her. It would be unreasonable for me not to be there. Then I will be nagged by father and Aunt He when I go back." Lin Qinghuan said to Lin Mo. In fact, she wanted to repay Xiao Yu for raising her.

"Well, take good care of yourself. If anything happens, send someone to let me know."

In Suheju, Mother Huang saw that the rice wine made by several maids had been forgotten to be taken away.

"Second Young Master, I forgot to bring back Fifth Miss's favorite sweet rice wine." Mother Huang walked out of the kitchen and saw Lin Ancai sitting with his legs crossed and eating snacks in the living room on the first floor of Lin Qinghuan's boudoir.

"My sister has gone back? Didn't she say she would stay for a few more days?" Lin Ancai thought that his sisters had gone out to play together. No wonder he had been sitting there for a long time and no one had come back.

"The girl's mother came to call her away early in the morning." Mother Huang put the sweet rice wine into the lunch box and left a can for Lin Ancai.

"Okay, now that you've eaten and drunk enough, I'll take it to her and see if she has any new things." Lin Ancai picked up the plum blossoms on the table and stood up to leave Suheju.

After seeing Lin Mo off, Lin Qinghuan and Tong Yunxiang were struggling in the front yard over whether to return to Luoyi Pavilion or continue to Qingyin Pavilion.

"Lin Qinghuan!"

"The eldest lady is back." The maid next to her saluted.

Lin Qinghuan turned around and saw the face he least wanted to see. He didn't want to pay attention to her and prepared to return to Luoyi Pavilion.

Xiao Qiannan chased after him, and Yun Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Qinghuan.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Qiannan frowned and scolded Yun Xiang.

"Miss, the young lady has just recovered from her illness. It's time for her to go back to the yard and rest." Yun Xiang said bravely.

"Lin Qinghuan, don't you have a mouth? Wherever you go, the maids have to speak for you. It's really funny." Xiao Qiannan glanced at Yun Xiang, sneered, and asked Lin Qinghuan.

"Because my maid knows when I want to talk and when I don't want to talk. That's called thoughtfulness." Lin Qinghuan replied.

"Then why don't you want to talk now, or are you too lazy to talk to me? Huh?" Xiao Qiannan looked angrily at the woman who had made her unable to return home.

"What's the matter? I'm not familiar with you, so naturally there's nothing to talk about." Lin Qinghuan said while suppressing his anger.

"Why is my mother sick?" Xiao Qiannan asked with a frown.

"Excessive worry causes heart palpitations." Lin Qinghuan tried to speak as few words as possible to her.

"You're worrying too much. As a daughter-in-law, you don't serve medicine by the bedside, but want to go back to the yard to rest. You are really virtuous." Xiao Qiannan paced back and forth, and then said loudly.

"Miss, the young lady has been serving you for the whole morning and is only now preparing to go back to the yard to rest for a while." Yun Xiang said anxiously.

"Don't think that I won't hit you just because you've been serving your elder brother since you were a child. When has it ever been your turn as a servant to interrupt the master? If you say one more word, I'll break your legs." Xiao Qiannan raised her hand to hit Yun Xiang, then withdrew it and cursed loudly.

The servants who were running back and forth beside them wished they had no ears and no eyes, and quickened their pace to get away from this place of trouble. Everyone in the Xiao Mansion knew that this eldest lady was too scary, and they all felt very sympathetic, glanced at Lin Qinghuan, and left in a hurry.

"Xiao Qiannan, do you like staying under the same roof with me so much? If so, then let's go." Lin Qinghuan patted Yun Xiang's arm gently and nodded at her.

"Hmph, of course I have to keep a close eye on you. Don't think you're that great just because everyone praises you as the most beautiful woman in Dasheng. In my eyes, you're a disaster, a sinner who harmed my second brother." Xiao Qiannan cursed as she walked.

"I didn't hurt him, stop talking nonsense." Lin Qinghuan stopped and looked at Xiao Qiannan with a gloomy face.

"Look at your arrogant look. Do you think that everything my second brother has done for you is what he should do? Do you have any gratitude at all? If I were the eldest brother, I would also leave you in the yard and ignore you, because a selfish woman like you is not worthy of anyone's love." Xiao Qiannan said with hatred in her eyes.

"...With gratitude, should I chase Xiao Yu all the way to Dayan? And then let the entire Lin family bear the crime of treason, is this what Miss Xiao means?" Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Qiannan with a dead look in his eyes and asked.

"Shouldn't you go after him? If it wasn't for getting you some medicine to break the dragon fruit, my second brother wouldn't have to leave Dasheng at all. It's all your fault. Now you're still shamelessly marrying my eldest brother. I'd be ashamed to live if I were you." Xiao Qiannan became more and more angry as she spoke, and she stepped forward and pushed Lin Qinghuan hard. She had some martial arts skills, and this push caught Lin Qinghuan off guard, causing him to fall to the ground.

"You shrew, I told you not to bully my sister." Lin Ancai flew over from behind and pressed Mei Ling against Xiao Qiannan's neck.

"An Cai, don't hurt her." Lin Qinghuan shouted hurriedly.

"Who is she? Why does she dare to bully you like this?" Lin Ancai glanced at Xiao Qiannan with disdain, put away his sword, and stepped forward to help Lin Qinghuan up. "Are you hurt? Your hand is broken."

"You... who are you? How can you come in and out of my house like this?" Xiao Qiannan was frightened by Lin Ancai. She finally reacted and asked.

"You bullied my sister today, and she pleaded for you. If you do it again, no matter who you are, I will never forgive you." Lin Ancai walked forward and said harshly. Seeing this, Xiao Qiannan took a few steps back.

"Sister, let's go home." Lin Ancai blew on Lin Qinghuan's hand with heartache and said. Since childhood, everyone treated his twin sister like a treasure, but now she was bullied like this in the Xiao Mansion.

"An Cai, why are you here?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"You forgot to bring back the sweet rice wine. Fortunately, I came. Otherwise, I would not know that you were bullied like this in the Xiao Mansion. Why didn't you ever tell us? Ask daddy and big brother to write a letter to His Majesty, asking you to divorce." Lin Ancai said angrily.

"Ancai, don't talk nonsense." Lin Qinghuan gently hit Lin Ancai and said in a gentle voice.

"You can't leave, she still has to serve my mother." Xiao Qiannan stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qinghuan and shouted, and then Lin An pointed Mei Ling at her.

"Are you tired of living?" When Xiao Qiannan saw Lin Ancai like this, she slowly loosened her fingers.

"Lin Qinghuan, this person next to you is ignorant. Aren't you ignorant too? You and my brother haven't divorced yet, but you just ignore your sick mother-in-law. Are you planning to become a nun in a temple after the divorce?" Xiao Qiannan took a step back and said.

"Go back and ask someone to deliver the divorce documents. If you dare to say another word, I will beat you to death!" Lin Ancai said, then pulled Lin Qinghuan away without looking back.

"He... makes me so mad... Who is this person?" Xiao Qiannan shouted angrily while stomping her feet.

"Miss, he is the young lady's younger brother, the second son of the Lin family, Lin Ancai." Yun Xiang saw that the young lady was taken away, and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he stayed where he was.

"Okay, the Lin family is really powerful. They actually dared to say that they want to divorce my eldest brother. I will tell my mother and aunt right away." Xiao Qiannan turned around angrily and went to Qingyin Pavilion. Seeing this, Yun Xiang wanted to follow her, "Don't follow me, go back." Xiao Qiannan turned around and shouted at Yun Xiang.

"Yes..." Yun Xiang looked at Xiao Qiannan's back, sighed, and then hurriedly ran back to Luoyi Pavilion.

Lin Yuzhi and his wife and Ning Junze were playing darts in the yard when they saw Lin Ancai angrily bringing Lin Qinghuan back to the mansion, with Chuxia and Lixue chasing after them.

"What's going on? Who made our Young Master An Cai so angry?" Ning Xiaoqi asked curiously.

"Big brother, you should quickly go and write a letter with dad to ask my sister to divorce Xiao Yi. If I hadn't delivered the sweet rice wine today, I wouldn't have known that the Xiao family bullied her like this." Lin Ancai said angrily.

"An Cai..." Lin Qinghuan wanted to stop him.

"It's not just the second young master who saw this. The eldest lady of the Xiao family even slapped you in the face until it was swollen last time. I was so heartbroken, and you didn't let me tell you." Seeing the situation, Chu Xia hurried forward and cried.

"Chuxia! You..." Lin Qinghuan didn't expect this girl to speak so quickly.

"What did you say?" Ning Xiaoqi looked at Chu Xia in disbelief.

"Stand up and tell me what's going on." Lin Yuzhi put down the feather arrow in his hand and walked over and said.

Chu Xia told everyone the whole story of the slapping incident. Lin Qinghuan just sat there alone without saying a word.

"This is outrageous! Xiao Qiannan was always arrogant and unreasonable when she was little, and I didn't expect her to become even more unreasonable as she grew up." Ning Xiaoqi slammed the table angrily and glanced at Lin Qinghuan. "You argued with me so fiercely, why do you let others bully you like this in the Xiao Mansion?"

Lin Qinghuan didn't say anything, just staring blankly at one place. Her mind was now full of what Xiao Qiannan said about Xiao Yu going to Dayan to save her. Tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. She had blamed him for so long, no wonder Xiao Qiannan hated her so much.

"Huan'er, do you want to divorce?" Lin Yuzhi stepped forward and squatted in front of Lin Qinghuan, wiped the tears from her face and asked softly.
