After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

He regretted his kindness towards Liu Ze, but he was even more disdainful of using the welfare of the people to slander Liu Ze.

He can do whatever it takes, but only to himself.

Before entering the house, he met Shen Yunwan outside the door.

Shen Yunwan walked into the house without even raising her eyelids.

Lin Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then went into the house.

Shen Yunwan went straight to the kitchen.

Lin Chengfeng returned to the main house, changed into his official uniform, and then went to the kitchen.

"Madam, Young Master Xiangbei has been raving about the braised pork you made.

I have made it several times, but each time I said it didn't taste like what I imagined." Madam Li handed Shen Yunwan a strip of pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts after washing it.

Last night, my wife said she wanted to make braised pork today, so before dawn she went to the pork shop on the street and picked out the best pork belly.

When the master and his wife were not at home, the children were much quieter.

The house is no longer as lively as before.

Now that the lady is back and has been granted an imperial decree, she will be rewarded soon. By then, the entire capital and even the entire Yinchi Kingdom will know about it.

Thinking of this, Nanny Li felt that she could still work in the Lin Mansion for another twenty years.

Shen Yunwan cut the pork belly into thick chunks.

"Sir." When Nanny Li saw Lin Chengfeng enter the kitchen, she quickly stood up.

In her opinion, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.

But everything in the Lin Mansion was different from her previous preconceived notions.

She is also slowly accepting and changing.

"Madame Li, please go out and take care of other things. I'll take care of this."

Nanny Li hesitated to speak, but she wiped her hands and bowed. If she had been so excited yesterday that she didn't notice the unusual atmosphere between the master and the lady,

Now, after the lord entered the kitchen, the lady didn't even glance at him.

No matter how slow-witted Li Ma was, she could still notice the discord between the two.

It was just the master's business, so she didn't say much. She just looked at the two of them worriedly and left.

It hasn't even been a day since I came back, and I don't know why the conflict between the master and the lady started.

Nanny Li was puzzled. She sighed and walked towards the stable.

In the kitchen, Shen Yunwan carefully cut the meat into pieces two fingers wide.

It was as if the person standing next to me didn't exist.

Put the meat in the basin and go around the person next to you.

"Let go." Shen Yunwan tried to shake off the hand on her arm.

Lin Chengfeng took the basin of meat and let go of her hand.

Walking silently to the stove, he looked at Shen Yunwan, "Today in the court, I asked for merit for Liu Ze."

Shen Yunwan really wanted to throw the meat at him, but found that her hands were empty.

Is Liu Ze the key?

Isn't the key point that he entered the palace without permission and asked for an imperial decree for her?

I know she would rather go to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"Mom, the nanny said you should make braised pork today." Lin Xiangbei's voice had already reached the kitchen before he arrived.

Shen Yunwan suppressed the anger that was running through her heart.

"Mom, I..." Lin Xiangbei rushed into the kitchen and saw Lin Chengfeng beside the stove. He was a little surprised, "Dad."

Then he looked at Shen Yunwan with a bright face, "Mom, I'll help you make the roast pork, okay?"

"Dad, do you want to go to the study with my brother to read a book? He seems to be looking for you."

Lin Xiangbei took the basin from Lin Chengfeng, and then looked at his father suspiciously.

When did his father become so strong?

Could it be possible that after going to Luzhou City to provide disaster relief, he became incredibly strong?

Shen Yunwan poured a spoonful of cold water into the pot, "Bei'er, pour the meat in."

When Lin Xiangbei heard what his mother said, his mind was full of braised pork, and he poured the meat in the basin out.

He didn't look at Lin Chengfeng who was standing beside him.

Lin Chengfeng glanced at Lin Xiangbei, who showed no emotion at all, and walked out of the kitchen with a look of resignation.

After a while, the water boiled. Shen Yunwan took out the meat, rinsed it under cold water until it was completely cool, drained the water and set aside.

Put oil in the pot, add cinnamon, bay leaves and star anise into the cold oil, and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant.

Add the pork belly and stir-fry until the fat is released.

"Mom, it smells so good!" Lin Xiangbei, who was burning the fire, couldn't help but sniffing, looking like a little greedy bug.

Shen Yunwan was amused by his cute appearance.

Lin Xiangbei felt relieved when he saw that Shen Yunwan was no longer as serious as before.

He doesn't care about other people's expressions because he doesn't want to.

Ever since he entered the kitchen, he had sensed that his mother was unhappy.

There were only mother and father in the kitchen. Mother was unhappy, and it must have something to do with her father.

Send away the person who made his mother unhappy. As for why his father made his mother unhappy, let his brother talk to his father.

In the study, Lin Xiangxi and Lin Chengfeng sat facing each other coldly.

Lin Xiangxi looked at the mattress and clothes on the floor in the study and sneered.

"Lin Xiangxi, I am your father." Lin Chengfeng had long been fed up with this son who was trying to go against the will of heaven.

Lin Xiangxi stared at Lin Chengfeng and said, "You shouldn't have acted on your own without informing mother.

My mother is clearly already a medical officer, and according to normal rewards, she should be promoted from medical officer to higher position.

Not some fourth-rank imperial lady Lin!"

"Lin Xiangxi, do you want to lose your mother?" Lin Chengfeng stared into his eyes.

Lin Xiangxi lowered his eyes.

The study was so quiet that even breathing seemed inaudible.

"If..." Lin Xiangxi clenched his fists as if trying to control his emotions, "If this is what mother wants, I will support it."

With red eyes, she looked at Lin Chengfeng, "Dad, Mom is a human being, she has her own ideas.

And whether as my mother or your wife, she has done enough and well enough.

You and I both know that she is not herself. If she wants to leave, there must be a reason why she has to leave."

Lin Xiangxi looked at Lin Chengfeng who was on the verge of rage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Dad, if you want to keep Mom here, there are people or things here that she can't let go of.

My mother looks gentle on the surface, but she is actually a tough and strong person inside.

Using force to force my mother to stay, even if I can keep her body, I can't keep her heart. Is a mother without a heart still the mother I know today?

Is it true that you are only attracted by my mother's body?"

After hearing what Lin Xiangxi said, Lin Chengfeng fell into deep thought.

"Dad, you can pretend to be a modest and gentle scholar, and take care of your hands every day, isn't it because mother likes them?

You can keep trying.

Mother is soft-hearted, and you know better than me how to make her calm down.

As for this imperial decree, since it's been granted, just take it. Mother just wants freedom, right? If she wants it, we can give it to her.

Isn't it all just a matter of that person's words? Can't I just ask for one more grace for my mother? "

Lin Xiangxi felt tired when he saw his father, who became useless when something happened to his mother.

Normally his father is pretty smart, but when it comes to his mother's problems, he seems to become much dumber.
