The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The old lady of the Xie family brought Xie Mingzhi to ask Xie Lin to make preparations early in the morning, saying that the wife of the Li family would come with Li Yiyue.

Xie Lin said: "Since the guests are the women of the Li family, my mother can receive them. There is no need for my son to show up."

The old lady was a little angry: "He came to you specially for something, how can you not go and meet him?"

Just like that, at exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, Xie Lin, his mother and Xie Mingzhi received the mother and daughter of the Li family in the front hall.

Li Yiyue was dressed up, wearing a pink dress with pearls and jades around her hair, which made her pretty face even more charming.

After sitting down to drink tea, she always glanced at Xie Lin secretly, and her cheeks would turn red every time she looked over.

Madam Li held her daughter's hand and after exchanging pleasantries with the old lady of the Xie family, she said, "It's like this. Tomorrow is our Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony. We are here today to invite the old lady, the head of the Xie family, and Mingzhi to come to our humble home tomorrow to celebrate Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony."

The old lady and Xie Mingzhi both looked at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin: "I have been weak since birth. I have been taking medicine for many years but have not seen any improvement. I vomited blood and fell into a coma a few days ago. My family has already prepared a coffin for me...

"Miss Li's coming-of-age ceremony is a great joyous event. If I go to celebrate with my dying body, I am afraid it will bring bad luck to the Li family and will also prevent Miss Li from having a perfect coming-of-age ceremony.

"Therefore, I cannot go."

Madam Xie never expected him to respond like this. Her heart was choked and she almost couldn't breathe.

"You have been getting better these days. The doctor said that you will be completely cured in time. Why are you so discouraged? Madam Li and your daughter are too kind to you to invite you personally!"

Mrs. Xie's tone couldn't help but be filled with resentment, and anger that she herself was not aware of.

Xie Lin looked at her, his eyes were neither angry nor annoyed, but very calm: "Excuse me, mother, is it true that you prepared a coffin for me? Is it true that I vomited blood and fainted not long ago? Outsiders don't know, are we in the Xie family going to deceive outsiders?"

Madam Xie pursed her lips and said, "Preparing a coffin doesn't mean you're going to die. We just want to get rid of the bad energy in you. It's true that you vomited blood and fainted before, but you're well now."

Xie Lin: "It is very likely that it is just a last gasp. My son has been weak and sickly since birth, how can he be fully recovered overnight? The Li family and our Xie family have been friends for generations, mother can't lie to Madam Li."

While speaking, although Xie Lin's eyes were indifferent, he paid close attention to every subtle expression of his mother.

The mother was obviously very angry, but she tried hard to restrain herself. Occasionally, her eyes would even wander away, not daring to meet his gaze, as if she was hiding some huge secret in her heart.

This was the first time Xie Lin saw his mother react like this.

Or maybe... this was the first time he used words to provoke his mother, so this happened.

Seeing his mother's chest heaving with anger and seeming unable to speak, Xie Lin added: "In less than a year, my son has vomited blood twice. This has never happened before."

Madam Li immediately responded, "Since Patriarch Xie is not feeling well, it is not convenient for us to invite him. We are afraid that Patriarch Xie will be out and about and his health will get worse. That would be the fault of our Li family."

If she had known that Xie Lin was in such poor health, she would never have agreed to her daughter's invitation.

Li Yiyue was unhappy and pulled her mother's hand and acted coquettishly: "Mom~!"

Madam Li patted her hands and said, "Yue'er, you have always been sensible. You should also take care of Patriarch Xie's health. The coming-of-age ceremony is too noisy. I am afraid that Patriarch Xie will be dizzy. If he has an accident, what will we do then?"

Madam Li had already said so. Even if the old lady of the Xie family was reluctant, she could not force Xie Lin to go.

Xie Lin stood up: "Mother, I'm tired, let me go back and rest first."

He bowed to Madam Li again and turned to leave.

After he left, Li Yiyue stood up and chased after him, finally catching up with Xie Lin at the end of the corridor.

"Thank you, Third Master!" Li Yiyue twisted her skirt with both hands, her face flushed, and after a while she said, "Third Master, please come to my coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, okay? I really hope you can come."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although the sun was out, the wind was still cold. Xie Lin was willing to go out with her shopping. Li Yiyue thought that she was different to him and he would go to her coming-of-age ceremony no matter what.

But today Xie Lin actually refused, which made her unacceptable. The coming-of-age ceremony only happened once in her life, and it meant that she could get married and have children.

Li Yiyue said, "Third Master, my parents also said that they will choose a son-in-law for me at the coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow!"

This is also the reason why she must have Xie Lin appear.

She had never seen a man more handsome than Xie Lin. His every move was full of elegance. She liked every aspect of Xie Lin, even when he was in poor health.

What's more, he is so capable and has been guarding the Xie Mansion for so many years with his frail body.

If they get married in the future, she will definitely take good care of Xie Lin and ask the best doctors in the world to treat him and make him better.

"I won't go to Miss Li's coming-of-age ceremony." Xie Lin said calmly, without even giving a reason, and said directly: "I would like to congratulate Miss Li in advance on finding a good man tomorrow."

Li Yiyue was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she was so shocked that she blurted out: "Why did Third Master bless me so much? Don't you have me in your heart? If you don't have me in your heart, why were you willing to go shopping with me in the cold wind on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Have you never thought of marrying me?"

Xie Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"I never thought of marrying you." Xie Lin replied: "I went out that day not to accompany you, but to accompany Mingzhi."

Of course, this is just the superficial answer. There is no need to tell her the actual answer.

After Xie Lin finished speaking, he turned and left.

Li Yiyue stood there, shaking with anger, tears streaming down her face.

Xie Lin had lunch in his yard when Wang Shan came to tell him, "Mrs. Li and Miss Li have already left. But the old lady promised to bring Miss Mingzhi to visit the Li family tomorrow."

Xie Lin opened his eyelids and looked at a huge banana tree in the yard. He said in a cold tone: "So, mother didn't take what I said in the past to heart."

Wangshan asked, "Do you want to stop the old lady and Miss Mingzhi?"

Before Xie Lin answered, he arranged for someone to wait for Chu Heyi at the gatehouse and brought Chu Heyi over.

Xie Lin raised her eyes and saw that the sun was quite bright today, making her skin look as white as cream. The skinny and dark girl she had met for the first time seemed to be gone forever.

He stood up and took Chu Heyi to the study. The door was not closed, but Wangshan and Baihua were guarding outside.

"Thank you, Third Master. I came here to ask you, when do you expect the Emperor to summon you?"

Her voice was sweet and clear, and Xie Lin couldn't help but smile slightly when she asked him the question.

"You trust me so much that I can get the Emperor to summon me? And you also trust me that I can estimate the time when I will be summoned?"

Her trust in him seemed to have made her lose her mind. How many times did he have to die for her in his previous life to gain her trust?

Chu Heyi came up to him and asked instead of answering: "You used this method to force the emperor to summon you. The emperor must be furious. How about I give you a merit to add a layer of protection for your safety?"

Xie Lin looked into her eyes for a while, then said, "Miss Heyi doesn't seem to be honest enough."
