Chapter 303: Mother and Daughter Say Goodbye
"Grandmother ......" Lin Yunqi was a little panicked, but she still insisted on the principle of resisting death, and said with teary eyes: "I really don't have it, is it because of what my cousin said, your heart is completely towards her?" ”
The old lady actually hates to see her juniors crying and crying the most, especially when she pretends to be pitiful and aggrieved like Lin Yunqi, which makes her even more impatient.
"Okay, forget it this time, I don't want to pursue you again, don't do the same thing again in the future, just go down."
It's all caused by Feng Qing's madness, that slut!
Lin Yunqi scolded secretly, endured her anger, and retreated meekly.
In the guest house, Feng came to the guest room to take a nap, and after waking up, Lin Yunshu came over.
The two talked for a long time, and it was not until lunchtime that they came to the old lady's side together.
"Yunshu, do you have any news about your second brother? It is said that he has not been back for a long time, and I don't know where he is now? ”
In the afternoon, when the two were walking in the garden, Feng Qingfang suddenly asked.
Lin Yunshu shook her head and said: "I don't know, in fact, he has secretly come back to visit his grandmother, but every time he only stays for half a day, he won't stay longer, and he won't say where he is going, he just says that he is walking around, alas, this can't be blamed on him, his father and mother always force him to take the fame test, he is so annoyed that he can only hide." ”
Feng Qingfang bowed slightly, and said, "Fortunately, he still knows to come back to see his grandmother and report his safety, otherwise he won't let his grandmother hang up day and night?" By the way, after you came back, did the second uncle still force you to marry? ”
"They think, but with my grandmother in charge of me, where do they dare to force me?" Speaking of this, Lin Yunshu couldn't help but feel very lucky, although she didn't love her father, she had the best grandmother in the world.
"So, you're free to love now?" Feng Qing laughed sheepishly, "It's been so long since you've been back, can you have someone in mind?" ”
Lin Yunshu's face turned red, and she said angrily: "What free love? Don't talk nonsense, if others hear it, don't you think I'm a water-based poplar woman? ”
"Okay, I'm kidding you," Feng smiled wildly, "What about Shen Li?" Have you seen him yet? I haven't been in touch with him since I left Sleeve Red Village that night, and I still owe him a lot of favors. ”
"No, no, I haven't seen it." Lin Yunshu shook her head, her words flickered, as if she was afraid that the other party would see through something, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Besides, you left without saying a word, and it made us think that something happened to you and looked for you everywhere." ”
Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I leave a letter?" I had something important to do, so I had to leave first, and I didn't mean to disappear suddenly. ”
"Just kidding, we know you won't leave for no reason, you must have encountered something special before leaving, so I don't blame you, I'm just a little worried about you, and now you're safe and sound."
"Thank you for being so considerate."
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Yunshu hesitated and asked, "Cousin, did you come to Lanzhou this time to find your aunt?" ”
"Looks like you've heard about my father's imprisonment?" Feng Qing showed a suspicious gaze, "My father is now in prison, and I can't think of any other way to save him, so I can only come to my mother, hoping that she can remember the old love and go back to save his life." ”
Lin Yunshu held her hand lightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, the Qing is self-purifying, and the Duke of Dingguo will definitely be able to get through this difficulty, but if you want to take your aunt to the capital, I'm afraid you have to pass the grandmother and uncle first." ”
"You think they won't agree?"
"After the news that my aunt is still alive is made public, the matter between her and Meng Ziyan will not be hidden, and the elopement of the Lin family will be discredited, think about it, can they not care?"
Feng Qing pondered for a moment, and said: "Yes, they definitely don't want to see that happen, but whether they agree with it or oppose it, I will take my mother back to Beijing, and no one can stop it." ”
Lin Yunshu smiled and nodded: "No matter what, I support you, if you need help, just tell me." ”
"Yunshu, thank you."
This cousin, Feng Qingyan is sincerely grateful, from the beginning of coming to the Lin family, Lin Yunshu is the best person to treat her, even today.
After dark, not long after dinner together, Lin Yunshu went back to rest, Feng Qingfang held the Liuyue knife in his hand, sat alone in front of the window, looking at the crescent moon in the sky and couldn't help but fall into contemplation, I don't know how long it took, Qin Luo's voice came from behind him: "Girl, the old lady came from there and said, your mother has arrived, please go over and see you." ”
Feng stood up frantically, put the short knife on the table, put on the cloak and went out.
In the old lady's courtyard, Lin Yitang, who was wearing a frost-colored dress, stood under the eaves, looking at Feng Qingfang, who walked in quickly, couldn't help but show a happy smile, and excitedly held her hand and said, "Light, our mother and daughter have finally met again." ”
Although Feng Qingyan was a little psychologically resistant to the other party's closeness, he didn't push her hand away, after all, he had to ask for someone, and he couldn't refuse someone thousands of miles away.
"Mother."
"How have you been doing in the past few years?"
"It's been well, how about you?"
"I'm fine."
"Okay, it's cold outside, you mother and daughter want to come in and talk about it."
Mrs. Lin said with a smile, and then asked people to bring the stove and hot tea and snacks, etc., and several people sat down in the side hall, and then chatted and talked for a long time.
Until late at night, the old lady was too sleepy to hold on, so she went back to the room to rest first, and only Feng Qingyan and Lin Yitang were left in the house.
"No one else is here, I'll tell my mother directly if I have something to say, you should have heard all the news from the capital, right?"
Lin Yitang nodded and said, "Your father was arrested and put in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, I heard about it." ”
"Then you must also know the purpose of my visit to the state?"
"Guessed." Lin Yitang lowered his head slightly, his eyes staring at the teacup without blinking, "However, I can't help." ”
Feng Qingfang thought that he was already mentally prepared for rejection, but when he heard Lin Yitang say this, he was still in a mood and extremely disappointed.
People say that a husband and wife are a hundred days a day, Lin Yitang and Feng Heng have also been husband and wife for five or six years, but why don't they miss the old love at all?
"Why? Is it that you don't want to go, or is Mencius strictly not letting you go? Feng Qingfang tried to restrain the anger in his heart, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.
Lin Yitang didn't look at her, just shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Ziyan, it's because I don't want to set foot in that place in the capital again, let alone see your father again." ”
You don't have the face to see him, do you?
Feng looked at the "mother" in front of him frantically, and he was really angry.
"Is there anything that my father can't do with you other than not being loved by your heart?"
Lin Yitang was slightly surprised, looked up, and subconsciously said, "Of course not." ”
"Since there isn't, then why are you looking at him and bearing the consequences for your choices back then?" Feng Qingyan asked this sentence with a smile, but this smile was full of sarcasm.
"I ......"
"Dad is not a good father, maybe not a good husband, but I dare to say that he is a good official, a loyal minister, he has worked hard for decades, loyal to the country, served the king, worked for the people, and should not be guillotined on trumped-up charges."
Feng stood up wildly, walked over to Lin Yitang and knelt down.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to kneel in front of someone.
"Mother, I beg you, even if you don't miss the relationship between husband and wife in the past, please miss the mother-daughter relationship between you and me, or think about the people who need a good official, and go back to Beijing with me."
Lin Yitang looked at his daughter's face and pondered for a long time, as if he was moved.
When Feng thought she was going to agree, she still heard the word "no".
"I just want you to show up and prove that my father didn't kill his wife, such a simple thing, why can't it?"
Feng Qingfang finally couldn't help but get angry, and stood up suddenly, so angry that his hands were clenched into fists, and his apricot eyes were wide open, giving people a compelling momentum.
Lin Yitang was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that his daughter, who looked weak on the surface, still had such a side.
"Frivolous, I'm not hard-hearted, it's just that I have my own troubles, I hope you can understand."
I don't know if her distress is related to the Lin family or Mencius...... Feng Qing thought wildly, trying to regain his composure, and then pulled out a smile and said, "I understand, what you said is that everyone has their own hardships and should be considerate of each other. ”
Lin Yitang looked at her with emotion, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's great that you can understand, frivolous, tell my mother that if your father fails to survive this catastrophe this time, you won't hate me, right?" ”
In order to stabilize her, Feng Qingfang had to endure it, so she smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will never hate you, after all, you have your own difficulties, I understand, but if my father knows the truth when he goes to Jiuquan, he doesn't know if he can be as considerate as I am." ”
"Your father...... What I owe him in this life can only be repaid in the next life. ”
Lin Yitang is indeed not a hard-hearted person, and she is not indifferent to what happened to Feng Heng, but she is indeed ruthless, even if she can't bear it, she still chooses to watch him die.
"It's getting late, I'll go back to sleep first, and you can rest early." Feng turned his head and walked out of the room without looking back.
After walking away, Qin Luo saw that her anger had subsided a little, so he dared to ask in a low voice, "Girl, are you really no longer persuading?" Dingguo Gong is still in prison. ”
"You also saw her attitude just now, it's useless for me to kneel down and beg her, what's the use of persuasion? It's just a waste of time! Feng Qing said angrily, "It doesn't matter if she wants to or not, she will be tied up and returned to the capital early tomorrow morning." ”
Qin Luo was stunned: "Tie, tie up?" She's your mother......
