A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Lin Mo did not return to the Lin Mansion last time because Ran'er vomited too severely. Lin Qinghuan missed her sister and came to find her again.

"Huan'er, you seem to have lost some weight recently." Lin Mo said.

"I don't have much appetite due to the hot weather. How is Ran'er now?" Lin Qinghuan asked as she looked at Jia Zhengran who was sleeping soundly in the arms of his wet nurse.

"It's much better now. The spitting up is not as severe as before, and he can even laugh now." Lin Mo looked at his son with a motherly smile, then gestured to the wet nurse to take him to the cradle.

"Then I never come at the right time. He is always fast asleep." Lin Qinghuan said with some regret.

"When he grows up a little bit, he will smile happily with his aunt every day." Lin Mo said with a smile.

"By the way, sister, I will go to Luofeng in a few days to pick up grandma, Ru'er and Zhichuan." Lin Qinghuan looked at the wet nurse's back as she left, turned around and said to Lin Mo.

"When you go to pick him up, do you want Tong'an to come along? Did the Xiao family agree?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.

"I don't know what he said, An Cai, but it was Xiao... It was my husband who said that he would accompany me to Luofeng to live for a while, and then bring my grandmother back." Lin Qinghuan was still not used to calling him that.

"He treats you very well. You have always missed Luo Feng. Now is a good time for you to go back and stay for a while." Lin Mo patted Lin Qinghuan's hand and said.

"I didn't expect that he would have time to go to Luofeng with me. I see that he is very busy every day." Lin Qinghuan lived in the same courtyard with Xiao Yi and realized that he really spent the most time in the study.

"I heard from Ah Xu that Xiao Yi has been the study companion of Crown Prince Ning Jinyang since he was young. He ranked first in the imperial examination when he was young and then embarked on an official career. So everyone knows that Xiao Bowen has a good son, Empress Xiao has a good nephew, and Ning Jinyang has a good military advisor." Lin Mo said. Lin Qinghuan was completely unaware of these things. She didn't even know what official position Xiao Yi held in the court.

"I only know that he seems to go to the East Palace every day, but I don't know who he is or what he does specifically," said Lin Qinghuan.

"Looking at your ignorant eyes, I guessed it. However, there is one thing you have to know. He can hold a high position at such a young age. Even every decision made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requires his and Xiao Bowen's approval. Huan'er, Daddy didn't agree to your marrying into the Xiao family because of party disputes. You have to take care of yourself in the Xiao Mansion." Lin Mo couldn't see through Xiao Yi, so he was always very worried about his silly sister who knew nothing.

"In the Xiao Mansion, apart from greeting my mother-in-law every morning and evening, Grandma Xiao likes quietness, so there is no need for us to bother her. I basically stay in Qingbo Courtyard every day, which is really boring." Lin Qinghuan said.

Staying in the Xiao Mansion is like living in a thousand-year-old clock. The hour, minute and second hands are all broken, and it is quiet and boring. But when I lived in Suheju in the Lin Mansion before, it was so lively every day. The brothers and sisters came to Suheju at sunrise and left Suheju at sunset. Even Lin Qingwan, who didn't like the hustle and bustle, started to go to Suheju frequently.

"Do you have a plan for when you will set off?" Lin Mo asked.

"I don't know. Let's ask him when we get home tonight. Sister, do you know Le Yin Fang?" Lin Qinghuan asked.

"It sounds like a place to learn music and piano. What's the matter? I can ask Ah Xu." Lin Mo was not too sure, but her husband, who grew up in Jinhan and loved playing since childhood, must know.

"Nothing, I just thought of asking casually." Lin Qinghuan said a little guilty, not knowing why she was becoming more and more curious about Xiao Yi's affairs, especially the woman named Chang Le.

"Your brother-in-law has gone to the patrol camp. I'll ask him in detail when he comes back and tell you later." Lin Mo looked at Lin Qinghuan, who looked very worried.

"Okay!" Lin Qinghuan smiled at Lin Mo again.

When Lin Qinghuan returned to Qingbo Courtyard, he found a woman kneeling at the door.

"Young Madam... please don't kick me out of the house." The woman immediately crawled over and cried when she saw Lin Qinghuan.

Seeing this, Yun Xiang stepped forward, pushed her away, and asked harshly, "What are you going to do?"

"Young Madam, I did something wrong, but you didn't blame me. I am really ashamed. I beg you to give me another chance and let me serve you well." Shuyin knelt in front of Lin Qinghuan and kowtowed to admit her mistake.

"Shuyin, I'm not making things difficult for you. Just go back to your grandmother's yard. Why are you doing this here?" Lin Qinghuan looked at the girl whose head was red from knocking her head with some confusion.

"Young Madam, if you don't keep me, I will send me back to my hometown in Luancheng. Young Madam, please don't send Shuyin away and give me another chance!" Shuyin cried very sadly. She knew that once she went to Luancheng, she would never see Xiao Yi again in this life.

"This..." What Lin Qinghuan feared most was others crying and kowtowing to him.

"You betrayed the young lady first, how can you have the nerve to make things difficult for her now?" Yun Xiang said when he saw that Lin Qinghuan was in great trouble.

"I know I was wrong, young madam. Shuyin believed what I said. If it weren't for Madam Hu's instructions, I would never have done this. The old lady really wants me to follow you." Shuyin still kowtowed while crying.

"Don't kowtow yet. Stand up and talk properly." Lin Qinghuan said this, and Yun Xiang could only reluctantly step forward to help Shuyin up.

"Go to Luoyi Pavilion first. I have something to ask you tomorrow." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Thank you, young madam." Shuyin covered her mouth and cried with joy again.

"Stop crying, go quickly, only the young lady could be so kind." Yun Xiang gave this instruction, then found a maid and took Shuyin to Luoyi Pavilion to look for Luo Yun.

On the way to Luoyi Pavilion, Shuyin met Xiao Yi who was returning to Qingbo Courtyard, and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Are you from Qingboyuan?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"The young lady is kind and gave me a chance to atone for my sins by letting Shuyin work in Luoyi Pavilion." Shuyin replied in a low voice.

"If that's the case, then go!" Xiao Yi glanced at her and then left.

Shuyin looked at Xiao Yi's back, reluctant to get up for a long time.

When Xiao Yi came back, he saw Lin Qinghuan sitting at the dressing table in a daze, and walked over curiously.

"You're back." Lin Qinghuan saw Xiao Yi's figure in the bronze mirror, so he stood up and looked at him and said.

"Why are you sitting here alone in a daze?" Xiao Yi asked softly, holding her hand.

"I was just bored, so I thought about something." Lin Qinghuan was still a little uncomfortable with being so intimate with Xiao Yi.

"Huan'er, tell me whatever's on your mind. I'm your husband." Xiao Yi touched the back of Lin Qinghuan's head with his big hand, hugged her into his arms and said affectionately.

"Just now, Shuyin came to me and begged me to keep her. I saw that she was crying very sadly and her head was bruised, so I let her go to Luoyi Pavilion." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Huan'er, if you don't want to, you can reject her. She is just a servant." Xiao Yi said.

"But she is my grandmother's maid after all, so she is naturally different from others. Maybe my grandmother asked her to come and beg me for help!" Lin Qinghuan looked up at Xiao Yi and asked.

"Huan'er, I used to think you were a naughty little girl, but I never expected you to be so sensible." Xiao Yi hugged Lin Qinghuan's face and kissed her gently, saying tenderly.

"I have never been willful." Lin Qinghuan said somewhat unconvinced.

"Will Huan'er be unreasonable and throw a tantrum with me?" Xiao Yi asked curiously.

Lin Qinghuan was stunned by his question. She remembered that she loved Brother Tongyu's temper the most because she knew he would not get angry and would even coax her. However, when facing Xiao Yi, she had never been so casual and did not dare to be so casual. She just thought about how to do it correctly and according to the rules.

"No, I'm not that kind of person." Lin Qinghuan replied with a smile.

"Huan'er, what if I say I hope you are like this? Why are you always so serious and respectful to me? I want the Huan'er who was acting coquettishly and getting angry with Yu'er in the palace garden, not the young lady who is so cautious now." Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan and said.

"I...did I do that? You must have remembered it wrongly!" Lin Qinghuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Husband, you've been busy all day and must be tired. Should I ask them to prepare a bath for you?"

"Huan'er, don't rush. Now I just want to be with you and don't want to see anyone else." Xiao Yi held the person who wanted to break free tightly in his arms and murmured softly.

"Okay." Lin Qinghuan responded, leaning on his chest.

"Huan'er, I know you still can't forget Yu'er in your heart, but I believe there is a place for me too. Give me a chance, I will love you more than Yu'er. You are my wife and the love of my life, Xiao Yi." Xiao Yi sat down, let Lin Qinghuan sit on his lap, hugged her and said.

"My...my dearest love...are you saying this just to cheer me up?" Lin Qinghuan didn't expect Xiao Yi to say that, and asked in disbelief.

"Silly girl, why would I lie to you when I'm fine?" Xiao Yi pinched Lin Qinghuan's face and said lovingly.

"I thought you liked Madam Hu. I heard that she was your first woman and you have always treated her very kindly." Lin Qinghuan suddenly remembered what Shuyin said and spoke.

"Huan'er, she has served me for many years. I will just give her wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life. If she does anything out of line, I will just deal with her like a servant." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan was stunned.

"What if I did something wrong?" Lin Qinghuan asked Xiao Yi nervously.

"Huan'er, you are my wife, the young lady of the Xiao family. As long as I am here, you will not do anything wrong. If you really do make a mistake, your husband will bear the responsibility with you." Xiao Yi said.

“…Okay, Huan’er understands.” Lin Qinghuan nodded.

"Huan'er, we'll leave for Luofeng the day after tomorrow."

"Really? We can set off so soon. Aren't you very busy with work?" Lin Qinghuan asked tentatively.

"I don't want to lie to you. I went to Luofeng this time to accompany you and to handle some official business."

"It's okay. Just be busy when you get to Luofeng. I won't disturb you." Lin Qinghuan said obediently.

"Silly girl, I would be happy if you disturbed me."

"Husband, you have such a hobby. Do you want Huan'er to learn to be as willful and unreasonable as Nan'er?" Lin Qinghuan asked.

"Silly girl, are you kidding me?" Xiao Yi felt that Lin Qinghuan's tone was a lot more playful at this moment.

"Husband, what do you think?" Lin Qinghuan tilted her head and looked at him, "Oh, by the way, I have something important to tell you." When Lin Qinghuan mentioned Xiao Qiannan, she suddenly remembered the important matter.

"What's the matter?"

"I'll come down first and talk in detail." Lin Qinghuan said.

"I want to hug you, just say so." Xiao Yi hugged Lin Qinghuan tighter and let her arms wrap around his neck.

Lin Qinghuan was really helpless. She felt that Xiao Yi was just a clingy person who wanted to be very intimate with her every day.

"It's about Nan'er. I think she's a little weird. She's very busy every day. I was curious about what she was busy with and who she made friends with, so I asked Hongqi to go and take a look." Lin Qinghuan thought for a while and said.

"You asked Hongqi to follow Nan'er?" Xiao Yi asked in surprise.

"I can't keep up with her speed, so I called her Sister Hongqi." Lin Qinghuan always felt that Xiao Yi didn't like Hongqi, so she quickly explained.

"Huan'er, I just didn't expect that you care about Nan'er so much now. You are becoming more and more like the elder sister-in-law." Xiao Yi said with interest, looking at the person in his arms.

"Stop teasing me. Aren't you curious about where Nan'er went and what she did?" Lin Qinghuan said with a pout.

"Has Nan'er gone somewhere to cause trouble again, or is she bullying others?" Xiao Yi knew that Xiao Qiannan used her mediocre skills to bully others every day. Everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, so they didn't dare to provoke her.

"Neither, Nan'er went to the patrol camp." Lin Qinghuan said with a serious expression.

"Patrol Camp...what is she doing there again?" Xiao Yi asked curiously. Could it be that this girl has already gone to the Patrol Camp?

"Hongqi heard her asking others about when my brother would come and when he would leave, and whether he brought anyone with him." Lin Qinghuan said.

"You said Nan'er was asking about An Cai?" Xiao Yi was obviously a little surprised. He felt it was a little strange last time.

"I was very surprised when she asked me to go back to her mother's house with her last time. Do you think Nan'er is still holding a grudge against An Cai?" Lin Qinghuan asked worriedly.

"Huan'er, why do you think so?" Xiao Yi asked.

"If she hadn't had any friction with An Cai before, why would she want to ask about him? She can't say that Nan'er likes my brother, right?" Lin Qinghuan said disapprovingly, then covered her mouth in fear. "I also find it strange why she wanted to know if An Cai brought anyone with him."

Xiao Yi was silent for a long time, "Nan'er is fifteen now, it's normal for her to have some thoughts."

"Although my brother is a very good-looking man and extremely handsome, but, he and Nan'er?" Lin Qinghuan tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yi with an embarrassed expression.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yi asked.

"An Cai is very late in maturing. I'm afraid that if Nan'er has such thoughts, she will be hurt." Lin Qinghuan thought of her silly brother and could never imagine which little girl he would like.

"This crazy girl has always been impetuous. I guess this matter will fade away after a while. However, if you are willing, you can help me keep an eye on her. I see that she is getting closer to you now." Xiao Yi said.

"Nan'er must have learned the rules in the palace and has become much more sensible." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Nan'er has grown up, what about Huan'er?" Xiao Yi asked.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Qinghuan looked at the man approaching her in confusion.
