After conferring the title of Duke of Yanzhou on Lin Mingyue, all the ministers left, and Emperor Ming only kept Lin Mingyue and his son in the imperial study to discuss the border situation.

Lin Mingyue and Lin Ling stayed in the palace for lunch. It was almost evening when they came out of the palace and rode their horses towards the general's mansion.

"Go and see if the master is back."

The old lady was waiting in the mansion anxiously, but on the surface she had to put on the look of a loving mother waiting for her son to finally return home, and she was eagerly waiting.

In fact, she was always feeling jealous. Lin Mingyue was actually given the title of General Guarding the Nation, and even that kid Lin Ling was given the title of General of the Cavalry!

Why? It’s just a victory!

It wasn't just the old lady who thought so. The second lady and Lin Qingrou were also feeling jealous.

Lin Qingrou couldn't even keep the smile on her face, she tugged at the handkerchief in her hand so hard that it became a loose knot.

"Mother, now that my uncle and my elder brother have returned victorious, I'm afraid that the county lady Lin Yushu will be highly sought after. Several princes are eyeing her. What should I do?"

Hearing Lin Qingrou's complaints, the second lady's face turned ugly.

"They are now in their prime, and it is also an opportunity for us to use them to climb up. Don't worry, your father said that he will express his intention to marry the second and fifth princes to see how they react."

The second wife's comfort had no effect at all. Lin Qingrou was not stupid. Lin Mingyue was just her uncle, and Lin Yushu was the princes' first choice.

How can we make the princes choose her instead of Lin Yushu?

Now, there are only two unmarried ladies in the general's mansion. Lin Yushu must be the biggest stumbling block on her road to becoming the queen!

She must find a way to deal with Lin Yushu!

On the other side, Lin Yushu was anxiously waiting for her father and brother to return at the gate of the general's mansion.

The previous life seemed like a huge nightmare. After waking up, she and her father and brother were still alive! Lin Yushu's heart had already flown to the edge of the imperial city, and she couldn't wait to see her father and brother.

The plaque bestowed by the late emperor hung high above her head. Lin Yushu sighed in her heart that the general's mansion had finally welcomed another great general!

As the sky gradually darkened, two figures on horseback appeared at the end of the street and galloped towards the general's mansion.

Lin Yushu's heart moved and her eyes couldn't help but feel sour. She almost hated the sudden tears that blurred the two handsome figures in front of her.

"Father! Brother!"

Upon hearing the sound, the two men immediately dismounted from their horses, and a graceful figure flew into Lin Mingyue's arms.

"Shu'er!"

"younger sister!"

Lin Mingyue held Lin Yushu's little face and looked at her non-stop. Lin Ling, who was standing next to him, had lost his cold aura and kept grinning at Lin Yushu.

"Shu'er welcomes father and brother back!"

"Our family is finally reunited!"

"Shu'er has grown taller and prettier, that's great."

The three of them hugged each other and cried at the gate of the mansion.

After a while, Lin Ling said, "Shu'er, why are you the only one waiting at the door? Where are Second Uncle and the others?"

Lin Yushu wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Grandmother and Second Uncle are waiting in the front hall. I couldn't help but want to see my father and brother immediately, so I came to the gate of the mansion alone to wait."

Lin Mingyue nodded. The burly man who could make the Yanzhou soldiers tremble with just one sentence, now only had pity for Lin Yushu in his eyes.

"How have you been these years?"

"Father, please worry about me. I'm fine."

The three of them walked slowly into the mansion. Lin Ling, who was standing by, said nothing when he heard this.

My father was an expert at marching and fighting, but he knew nothing about what was happening at home.

Lin Ling could sense something, if she was really living as well as Shu'er said, why would she be left standing alone in the cold wind for so long.

When they arrived at the front hall, Lin Mingyue took Lin Ling to meet the old lady.

"Good! Good! Mingyue, you are finally back, but I must have missed you so much! Ling'er is now more and more successful, and has even become a general. Yuanshuang can rest in peace in the underworld..."

The old lady was both happy and sad, and even shed two tears in the end.

Lin Ling was almost moved by the old lady's performance, but when he saw Lin Yushu's unmoved expression, he felt a chill in his heart, and his mind instantly returned to normal, and he just responded to the old lady politely.

Only Lin Mingyue seemed to be truly moved. After years of fighting on the battlefields, where swords were ruthless, how many comrades-in-arms had drunk and chatted with him yesterday, only to die tragically beside him today.

When he returned home today, Lin Mingyue's long-hardened heart felt warmth after a long time, and he was especially kind to the old lady and Lin Minglang.

The banquet was extremely sumptuous, and most of the dishes were those that Lin Mingyue once loved to eat.

The old lady has always been good at superficial work. They wanted to use Lin Mingyue, so they put in even more effort this time.

After the meal, the family gathered in the front hall and talked.

"Mingyue, we are a family. Now that you have made it big, you must not forget to support your brother."

Lin Mingyue nodded and agreed with it.

"Mingyue, do you still remember Lin Xiaoquan? Yes, he is the son of your cousin. He is now working as a sinecure in the Guanglu Temple. His son is about the same age as Lin Ling. I think he is capable and knows a few boxing skills. Can you see if you can let him be a lieutenant in the barracks?"

Lin Mingyue didn't move his head, he just responded with a few words with a smile.

"Mingyue, do you still remember Chen Chunhua? Yes, she is your cousin from my mother's family. She is now a widow at home. You praised her for her beauty back then. She still misses you now. You see, there is no one in your backyard who cares about your well-being. If you are interested, I will send someone to bring her here tomorrow."

Lin Mingyue shook his head quickly and kept refusing.

Lin Ling listened to the old lady's endless words in amazement, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Lin Yushu beside him.

Lin Yushu smiled at him gently and whispered, "You'll get used to it."

Habit? How to get used to it?

Less than an hour after returning home, the old lady had already made countless requests to Lin Mingyue.

Does this mean that Lin Mingyue is your son?

This is what Lin Mingyue did when he was a blood bag! He was a sucker!

But Lin Mingyue was so upright that he didn't notice at all that Lin Ling's fist had hardened.

Lin Yushu took the opportunity to whisper comfort to him while he was drinking tea.

"Don't be upset, brother. They just want to take advantage of our father's military achievements. They don't have any other intentions. It doesn't matter."

Other thoughts? What other thoughts could be more outrageous?

Noticing Lin Ling's surprised and disbelieving look, Lin Yushu smiled faintly.

"At least, they didn't try to kill you two."

The whisper like a breath blew into Lin Ling's ears like the wind, but exploded in his brain.

kill?!

Lin Ling understood Lin Yushu's words instantly. His eye sockets were sore and red, and his knuckles were cracking from being clenched.

"They! They tried to kill you?!"

Lin Yushu put her hand on Lin Ling's fist to comfort him, her smile bright and dazzling.

"Thank you for trusting me, brother. Please don't tell father about this first."

In just one sentence, Lin Yushu did not answer Lin Ling's question, but answered him clearly.

That’s right, they tried to kill Lin Yushu, and even if they told their father about it, he probably wouldn’t believe it.

Lin Ling raised his eyes, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

The old lady and the people from the second house dared to touch his sister. They must be tired of living!
