He has his bottom line, and so does she.

Even if she couldn't go back now, she wouldn't let him control her like this.

She would let him know that Shen Yunwan was never someone who would give in easily.

Shen Yunwan opened the door and saw Lin Xiangxi standing outside.

"Mother, are you okay?"

The man who had just been arguing with Lin Chengfeng had his eyes red in an instant when Lin Xiangxi said this.

Lin Xiangxi looked at the person in front of him with red eyes and felt very distressed.

His mother must have suffered so much injustice that she felt so helpless.

Shen Yunwan quickly held back her tears, "Mom is fine."

Shen Yunwan took Lin Xiangxi's hand and walked out.

Lin Xiangxi turned around and glanced at Lin Chengfeng who was standing in the room.

He wanted to blame his father, but he saw that his father looked like he was abandoned by the whole world.

It's so pitiful that it seems like there is only one left in the world.

He felt a little sympathy for his father.

But he still felt more sorry for his mother.

He held her hand a little tighter.

If it is true as his father said, his mother will disappear.

Will return to her original world.

So, she, who came to this dynasty alone and became their mother, needed more understanding and care.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangxi glared at Lin Chengfeng fiercely.

"Mom, I brought you some snacks."

Lin Xiangxi pulled Shen Yunwan into the hall, and an exquisite food box was placed on the table.

As soon as they entered the hall, Chunhua, Qiuhua and Lin Xiangbei also arrived.

"Mother."

"Mother."

Shen Yunwan patted the children's heads and soothed them, "Mom is fine, and you... Dad is fine too. We're just communicating and resolving our doubts."

As she spoke, Shen Yunwan opened the food box and a faint fragrance emanated.

“This snack looks and smells delicious.

I feel like I haven’t tasted food this good in a long, long time.”

She carried the food box and walked over to the children, "Eat something."

Lin Xiangbei picked up a piece of peach cake and held it to Shen Yunwan's lips, "Mother, you eat it."

Shen Yunwan took a bite with a smile.

The five of them, mother and children, sat around the table drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Mom, will you not be able to go to Huichuntang in the future?" Qiuhua was a little worried. If her mother could no longer go to Huichuntang, she would not be able to prescribe the right medicine for the difficult and complicated diseases of the patients who came to see her.

If she had another two years...

But there is no if.

The others also looked at Shen Yunwan and felt that the snacks in their hands were no longer delicious.

"Why can't I go? Isn't that the name given to me by the emperor? I'm practicing medicine on orders."

After hearing this, Qiuhua's worried expression eased a lot.

Although she was worried about Huichun Hall, she was more worried that her mother would be confined to the inner house and unhappy if she could not do what she liked.

Just like her, if she was always confined to the academy and then confined to the outside world after she grew up and got married, she thought she would collapse.

This kind of life is suffocating.

Everyone felt relieved after hearing Shen Yunwan's words, except Lin Xiangxi.

He heard almost the entire argument in the main house just now. He knew that his mother and father were having a conflict, and it was an unprecedented big conflict.

He ate the peach cake in his hand in small bites, his heart full of worries, but his face did not show it.

Compared to Lin Xiangxi's full of worries.

Led by Nanny Li, the servants in the Lin Mansion created a joyous atmosphere throughout the mansion.

Nanny Li was busy preparing today's dinner in the kitchen, and she was eager to show off all the dishes she had learned throughout her life.

However, she was always thinking about Shen Yunwan's principle of not wasting, so she had to control her excitement, but still carefully prepared four dishes and a soup.

There are her signature sauce-flavored duck, braised fish, scallion chicken, stir-fried choy sum with lard, and finally tomato soup.

Dinner should have been light, but Nanny Li always felt that the master and the lady must have suffered a lot on their way from Luzhou City.

I couldn't help but arrange so many meat dishes.

As the sun sets, the meal is served.

After setting the table today, Nanny Li did not leave immediately, but waited by the table, wanting to serve the master and his wife.

"Mammy, you should go down and eat too." Shen Yunwan was still not used to having someone waiting by her side to serve her while she ate.

Nanny Li didn't insist. After helping them serve the meal, she left.

Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan were sitting in the seats. There were six of them, only one more person than the five people who were having snacks, Lin Chengfeng. However, the atmosphere was not as relaxed and harmonious as before.

Everyone just ate in silence, eating without talking to the end.

Obviously, dinner time used to be the most lively time for the Lin family.

But today, there was only a slight chewing sound.

Lin Chengfeng picked up a piece of duck meat and put it into Shen Yunwan's bowl.

The others seemed to be suddenly paused, and they all stopped and looked at Shen Yunwan.

Shen Yunwan seemed not to notice the piece of meat in the bowl and did not move it. Instead, she continued to eat the rice and other dishes in the bowl.

Until the end, the piece of meat was just lying alone in the empty bowl.

Shen Yunwan, who almost never wasted food, left the piece of meat in the bowl for the first time.

Lin Chengfeng looked at the meat in the bowl helplessly and picked it up.

"Dad, what's wrong with your face?" After enduring for a long time, Lin Xiangbei finally asked.

When his father just entered the hall, he saw that the left side of his father's cheek was red.

Because his father has fair skin, the redness on his left cheek is particularly obvious.

However, the atmosphere during the meal seemed very heavy and no one else spoke, so he endured it.

Even now, after finishing his meal, he stared at Lin Chengfeng's face and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chengfeng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and didn't even raise his eyes as he finished eating the piece of duck meat.

He said calmly but a little aggrievedly, "Your mother beat me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Yunwan was shocked. This man said it so bluntly and without any concealment.

Just now, in front of the children, she was trying to hide the discord between them.

He was so good that he just said it directly.

In front of the children.

"Dad, what did you do wrong to make Mom so angry?" Lin Xiangbei said as if it was a matter of course.

In Lin Xiangbei's heart, his mother was so considerate, gentle and close, so his father must have done something wrong to make his mother angry.

Lin Xiangxi looked at Lin Xiangbei with admiration. This younger brother could always find problems so accurately at critical moments.

But he underestimated his father's face, which was thicker than the city wall.

"Well, Dad did something wrong. Please ask your mother when he can calm down."

Lin Chengfeng still doesn’t think he did anything wrong, but he doesn’t want to have a quarrel with Shen Yunwan as soon as he comes back.

At least I don't want to sleep alone in the study.

Judging from Shen Yunwan's anger today, he felt that there was a high possibility that he would be driven away.

The more determined I was just now, the more humble I am now.

After finally returning home, who wants to stay alone in an empty house?
