"Stand up, no need to be polite." The man's voice was very cold. For some reason, Lin Tingwan always felt that the voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Lin Tingwan secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage a little.

The sun was setting slightly in the west, and a carriage stopped in front of them.

The carriage was inlaid with gems and shone brightly.

The carriage and doors are carved from huanghuali wood, and every detail shows the extraordinary status of its owner.

Lin Tingwan couldn't help but feel curious, but the carriage didn't stay for long. After the man said this, the carriage slowly left.

The horseshoes struck the stone pavement with a crisp sound, as if swearing his noble status, and soon the carriage disappeared.

Just when Lin Tingwan wanted to stick her head out to find out what was going on, Song Yingyue reached out and pulled her back, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm just a little curious, please don't think too much about it, mother."

Song Yingyue lowered her voice and said, "We can't afford to offend Prince Gong. Don't get into trouble. Can you please avoid it?"

Lin Tingwan nodded quickly, "Mom, I understand. It's my fault. Please don't be angry."

Song Yingyue sighed, "Mother doesn't blame you, but now that you have returned to Shangjing, things are different from when you were in Liangzhou. Now is not the time for your father to cover the sky with one hand. Everything he does must be considered according to other people's mood. You must not let your father fall into danger."

Lin Tingwan looked at her in shock. She didn’t understand when Lin Mingqian had ever been so omnipotent when he was in Liangzhou!

But in the end she nodded, "I understand, mother."

Song Yingyue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She reached out her hand and touched Lin Tingwan's head lovingly, "Fortunately Yangyang is a sensible child, otherwise mother wouldn't know what to do."

Lin Tingwan smiled but said nothing. Who knows, maybe she is a sensible person.

……

"Madam, the general is back——"

Old Mrs. Lin was lying on the bed gnawing on a chicken leg. After hearing this, she immediately threw what she was holding into the hands of the nanny beside her and lay down.

When Lin Mingqian came in, she had already closed her eyes and was breathing rapidly. When she saw her son, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her hair was disheveled, her face was old, and she looked very weak.

A younger woman was sitting beside her bed. She looked at Old Madam Lin with concern and tucked her quilt from time to time.

This was the scene that Lin Tingwan saw when he followed in.

It's strange to say, in her previous life, everyone died but Old Lady Lin was still alive and well, why does she look like she is dying now? Her eyes flickered slightly, and I don't know what she was thinking about.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lin Mingqian walked quickly forward and stood beside the bed looking at her.

But Mrs. Lin couldn't say a word and kept coughing. Finally, Chen Yuanyuan spoke up, "The doctor said that mother has a heart disease caused by excessive worry." After that, she sighed, "Mother looks sick every day. How can I bear to see her like this?"

After saying that, she glanced at Song Yingyue again.

The woman in front of him was Lin Tangning's biological mother, and also Lin Tingwan's second aunt whom he hadn't seen for several years.

Lin Mingqian looked at her in confusion, "Now that we are all back, what else is there to be sad about, mother?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuanyuan felt a lump in her throat. Let alone anything else! It was because they came back that she felt worried!

Chen Yuanyuan picked up her handkerchief and wiped away her nonexistent tears. "For so many years, my brother has been away in Liangzhou, leaving only mother and my eldest sister-in-law in the mansion. Mother has been responsible for all matters, and we have been dependent on each other. I am not used to my eldest sister-in-law being so far away from me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yingyue's shoulders couldn't help shaking twice. She didn't expect that Old Lady Lin and Chen Yuanyuan would be so shameless. What's the point of them relying on each other for life!

She was simply being exploited unilaterally by these two people.

"This……"

Lin Mingqian knew that things were definitely not that simple, but the look on Old Lady Lin's face did not seem fake, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

Lin Tingwan saw that things were not going well, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Second Aunt, what are you talking about? You know best what the relationship between Grandmother and Mother has been like over the years."

"Although it's not right to say this, I think my grandmother must be very happy to be separated from my mother. Now that she is like this, is it because you, Second Aunt, have misunderstood something?"

"The adults are talking, why are you, a child, butting in?" After saying that, Chen Yuanyuan turned to look at Lin Mingqian, but saw that the latter said nothing. He just stared at her steadily, as if he really believed whatever Lin Tingwan said.

There is no law anymore!

After she finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at her. Chen Yuanyuan finally shut up and said, "It's my fault. Yangyang is still young after all. He probably doesn't think so much about things."

There was something sarcastic in saying this. She was already an adult, how could she still be young? If it were an ordinary family, they would probably have given birth to a child and would be at home taking care of their parents-in-law.

"Second Aunt, since you said I was still young, if what I said doesn't please you, just treat it as the words of a child."

Chen Yuanyuan just had a bad premonition. This guy was so shameless that he actually climbed up the pole like this. The next second, it happened.

"Grandma likes you more than mother. If Grandma is not used to having no one to serve her, could it be that she wants you to serve her?"

Why would she want to serve this old lady! She has so much to do every day and she has no skills, and she only knows how to lose her temper!

"Yangyang, you are still young, so Second Aunt won't be as fussy about you as she is." She sighed, "You, you may not know that after being away from the capital for so long, your grandmother still loves your mother the most. She may be stricter with her on weekdays, but this is because she cares more about her. After all, there is a saying that a loving mother often spoils her child. What do you think, Yangyang?"

"So, in a place we didn't know about, Second Aunt actually envied my mother so much? A gentleman doesn't take away what others like."

"We shouldn't take your job away from you, Second Aunt. Why don't you come and look after Grandma from today on? Grandma has not been feeling well recently, and my mother comes from a poor family, so she certainly can't take good care of her."

Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that her teeth itched.

"Aunt, are you unwilling?" Lin Tingwan looked at Chen Yuanyuan in confusion. "I guess Aunt, you should be willing. After all, your reputation for filial piety is well-known throughout the capital."
