Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Chapter 297 Home

After receiving Gu's reminder, Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible hand, instantly returning to the time when she had just been exiled.

At that time, she was filled with fear and confusion about the unknown future, and did not know how to survive in this strange and challenging foreign land.

More than a decade has passed, but looking back, it feels as vivid as if it happened yesterday, making one sigh at how quickly time flies and how life is like a dream.

---------------

As dusk gradually enveloped the earth, the whole world was tinged with a faint yellow hue.

At this moment, the Lin family was sitting around the exquisitely carved nanmu wood table, which was laden with a sumptuous dinner.

With a smile, Su picked up a piece of sweet lotus root that exuded a rich osmanthus fragrance and gently placed it into Lin Xiaoxiao's bowl.

Then, she raised her head, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with gentle eyes, and said slowly, "Although in our area, it is not in accordance with traditional rules for women to show their faces in public to do business."

But our family's peaceful life today is all thanks to Xiaoxiao! Mother has always known that everything Xiaoxiao has done is much more practical than those pedantic scholars who only talk about principles.

These past years have truly been tough for Xiaoxiao!

Hearing her mother's words, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

However, she just smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "Mother, please don't say that."

Actually, when I decided to venture into the business world as a woman, I knew it would attract a lot of gossip.

After all, in this era where "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent," a woman like me who goes out into the world to do business naturally becomes a hot topic of conversation.

"It's okay, as long as it allows our family to live a good life, I'm willing to endure any amount of pressure."

Fortunately, people gradually saw her achievements and began to change their opinion of her. Now, many women are doing business just like her.

Shine brightly in your area of ​​expertise.

In the stillness of the night, all was quiet except for the faint moonlight filtering through the window.

Just then, Song Wenjing, like a ghost, silently walked up behind Lin Xiaoxiao.

"What are you looking at, Madam?" His deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out, and his warm breath gently brushed against Lin Xiaoxiao's ear, bringing a tingling sensation.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around abruptly, her gaze meeting Song Wenjing's gentle and refined eyes.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "It's nothing. My son just sent some account books over during the day, and I was thinking of checking them to avoid any mistakes."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure hurriedly walked in from outside.

It was Song Yichen. His face beamed with a bright smile as he asked curiously, "Father, what are Mother whispering about? I want to hear too!"

Song Wenjing raised her eyes, looked at her son, and said with a slight smile, "Our Yichen is all grown up now, he's not young anymore, it's time for him to settle down, get married and have children."

If you could quickly give me and your mother a chubby little grandson, that would be wonderful! &34;

Song Yichen never expected that he would be pressured to get married by his father as soon as he stepped into the house. It was as if he had stepped into a minefield.

He was momentarily speechless, both amused and exasperated, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Oh dear, Father, why are you suddenly bringing this up? I still want to enjoy my carefree life for a few more years!"

However, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, had other thoughts in her mind.

Although she has always respected her son's personal choices and did not want to rush him into marriage, it is undeniable that her son and Meng Qianqian have known and loved each other for a long time, and their relationship is incredibly deep.

Moreover, they really should give that kind and lovely girl a clear explanation.

So, Lin Xiaoxiao gently walked to her son's side, looked at him tenderly, and asked softly: "Yichen, don't you really want to marry Qianqian?"

"Mother!" Song Yichen called out, his face flushed, a faint blush rising at the base of his fair ears.

He lowered his head slightly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "My son is currently focused on his business, and he doesn't want to think too much about marriage yet..."

"Smack!" A crisp sound rang out as Lin Xiaoxiao slammed her hand on the table in front of her. The force was so great that it startled several sparrows perched on the branches outside the window, causing them to all fly up in a flurry.

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and glared angrily at her son, saying sternly, "You and Miss Qianqian have been together for so long, it's time to give her a clear explanation!"

What exactly do you mean by dragging this out? Could it be that you have other ideas in your heart, or that you've developed feelings for Qianqian?

After saying that, she stared intently at Song Yichen with her sharp gaze, as if trying to see through his true thoughts.

Song Yichen quickly explained, "Mother, I have no ill intentions. It's just that I've just taken over the business in Youzhou, and I'm afraid I won't handle it well and will disappoint you."

Lin Xiaoxiao's expression softened slightly: "Mother knows you are ambitious, but Qianqian is also a sensible child. You can't keep making her wait."

Song Wenjing also spoke up: "Son, getting married and starting a career are not mutually exclusive. Having a virtuous wife by your side may even be more helpful to your business."

Song Yichen scratched his head: "Dad, Mom, I understand what you mean. I'll go talk to Qianqian about this right away."

Song Yichen arrived at Meng Qianqian's home, where Meng Qianqian was embroidering. Upon seeing him, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Song Yichen mustered his courage and said, "Qianqian, I have come here today to ask if you will marry me."

A look of surprise flashed in Meng Qianqian's eyes. Her face flushed red with embarrassment: "Of course I'm willing."

Song Yichen kissed her, then happily went back to tell Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Wenjing, and the whole family was overjoyed.

Soon after, wedding preparations began. On the wedding day, the house was packed with guests.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt gratified seeing her son and daughter-in-law's happy appearance.

She recalled the hardships she had endured along the way, and now that she had a happy family, she felt that her bitterness had finally given way to happiness.

Song Wenjing held her hand, and the two smiled at each other.

Song Wenjing pulled Lin Xiaoxiao into his arms: "We must live happily like this for the rest of our lives."

Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was tinged with laughter: "Didn't we already agree to live together until we're old and gray?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled happily. She understood that the so-called home is never a specific time and space, but the person who is willing to spend the rest of your life with you, and those warm and everyday moments.
