The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

After becoming a mother, her temperament softened a lot.

But when Lin Jingyao thought that all these changes in her were because of Xu Qingye, his heart felt so sour.

"Xu Qingye was favored by the Prime Minister's daughter and was almost granted marriage by His Majesty. I can see that Miss Zhuang is not someone who gives up easily. Although you are the Princess of a County, you have no foundation in the court. Are you sure you want to compete with the Prime Minister's daughter?"

He lowered his posture.

"Tang'er, if you are willing to stay with me, I will treat your child as my own and will not let you suffer any grievances."

Song Yuntang remained unmoved.

"Xu Qingye is a modest gentleman, gentle and refined. It's not surprising that he's favored by the prime minister's daughter. I have no intention of competing with anyone for a man, but he is now my husband and the father of my child. Until he lets go of our relationship first, he's still my man."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Jingyao.

"And Master Lin is already married. You asked me to stay with you. In what capacity? As a concubine or a mistress?"

"I……"

Lin Jingyao didn't know what to say.

She is now a county lady appointed by the emperor himself, and her status and position are no longer the same as before.

Whether she was a mistress or a concubine, she would be wronged.

But her identity also has a disadvantage, that is, she cannot provide as much help as Li Yuyao in her future career.

"Master Lin, you can't answer either, right?" Song Yuntang smiled. "You have your own choices, and I have mine. Considering the brotherly bond we've shared for the past thirteen years, I hope Master Lin won't force me."

Be polite before fighting.

It is definitely unrealistic to let her run away from here alone now.

I hope Lin Jingyao still has some conscience.

The four words "what the heart desires" made Lin Jingyao clench his fists.

Xu Qingye is the one her heart desires, so what does it matter if he is like this now?

I thought that if he lowered his attitude and asked her to stay, she would be moved. I thought that the past half month of getting along would leave some thoughts in her heart, but I didn't expect that she would refuse so bluntly.

After a long silence, Lin Jingyao looked up at her.

"Have you really decided?"

Song Yuntang nodded with great certainty.

"Decided."

"Even if it means offending the Prime Minister's daughter?"

"Yes."

Listening to her decisive words, Lin Jingyao felt heartbroken, "Tang'er, is it worth it for you to gamble a man's heart like this?"

Song Yuntang looked at the unclear figure not far away.

"Whether it's worth it or not is my choice. I believe in him."

After a long silence, Lin Jingyao looked at her again and said, "Give me ten days. If you still don't want to stay with me after ten days, I will send you back to Anyang County safely."

Xu Qingye rushed back to Anyang County overnight after the Qionglin Banquet ended. He knew about this.

He also rode back on horseback, and was not much slower than him.

Prime Minister Zhuang's daughter should be on her way to Anyang County now. If Xu Qingye knew about Song Yuntang's death, she might really try to climb up the ladder of power in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seize this opportunity that will allow him to rise to the top.

By then, he would find a job far away from the capital, take Song Yuntang and the children away, and live their own lives.

Song Yuntang knew that although Lin Jingyao was conceited, he would not deceive her with words.

It's just a matter of waiting another ten days.

We have endured four or five months, so ten days is nothing.

"A word is settled!"

……

That evening, the two had dinner together.

When Lin Jingyao picked up some food for her, Song Yuntang felt him approaching and moved her bowl towards herself.

Lin Jingyao's chopsticks holding the food were suspended in mid-air. "These are serving chopsticks. Can't I pick up the food for you if you can't see them?"

Song Yuntang swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Although I can't see with my eyes, I can feel it. There's no need to worry, Mr. Lin."

Lin Jingyao didn't get angry after hearing this. He put the dish into his own bowl and said, "I clearly gave you some food before I left. I'm a little uncomfortable with Tang'er being so distant now."

Song Yuntang said calmly, "I was also tired of pretending not to know you before."

Lin Jingyao looked at her.

"Tang'er, you don't have to call me Master Lin from now on. How about calling me Big Brother? Or you can call me Jingyao." Seeing that she didn't answer, he turned and asked, "Aren't you curious about Xu Qingye's scientific research results this time?"

Song Yuntang put down his chopsticks.

"If even you can succeed, he should be able to do it too, right?"

Lin Jingyao smiled self-deprecatingly.

"As much as I hate to admit it, Xu Qingye is truly remarkable. After being ill for five years, he took up the imperial examination again and was even chosen by His Majesty as this year's top scholar."

Sure enough, she would only respond when Xu Qingye was mentioned.

It took him six years of preparation before he finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, although he ranked last. His father originally suggested that he don't need to rush back after the exam, but should make some good friends in the capital.

But he was really worried about Tang'er, so he came back early.

I don’t know what kind of job I can get by then.

Hearing this, a smile broke out on Song Yuntang's face.

"I knew he was fine."

Looking at her expression, Lin Jingyao suddenly felt that the food on the table had lost its taste.

"When Tang'er is with me, can you please look at me more often?"

Only then did Song Yuntang look at the figure in front of him.

"Lin Jingyao, you have a wife, and I have a husband. If Xu Qingye is a petty person, I will not have an easy life if I return after being missing for so long. Why do you have to pester me like this?"

She didn't want to waste any more time talking to Lin Jingyao, so she just put down her chopsticks.

"I'm full. I'm going back to rest."

After saying that, he groped his way back to his room.

Her eyes can only be completely cured after she gives birth to the child. During the final treatment, it would be best if she had Dr. Sun or Dr. Zhou from the clinic to assist her.

Lin Jingyao watched her go back to the house and then turned to give instructions to Awang.

"When I passed by Hongjiang City this time, I brought some food with me. Take it and ask Aunt Luo to make a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Tang'er didn't eat much for dinner, so she might be hungry tonight."

Awang bowed and took the ingredients to Luo's house.

Song Yuntang is now more than eight months pregnant, and she is indeed prone to hunger. She feels her stomach is empty before the hour of You.

Just when I was feeling hungry, there was a knock on the door.

"County Lady, have you gone to bed? The Master has asked me to have Aunt Luo make you a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Would you like some?"

When Song Yuntang heard that there was food, he quickly sat up from the bed.

"come in."

Not to mention that she was hungry now, Tremella and lotus seed soup was a rare delicacy, and eating something would help her sleep more soundly at night.

Awang entered the house carrying a tray. After putting the tray down, he lit the lamp on the table first.

He considerately helped Song Yuntang to the table.

"I'll wait outside. When the county lord has finished eating, he'll call me."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"it is good."
