I'm the Villain's Mother in Time Time

Chapter 589

Chapter 589

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival, the streets are bustling with joy.

Echoing it in the distance, the snow on the ground melted, the cold wind was bitter, and the Lin Mansion was even colder.

Although Zhen Youming nodded and released the Lin family, he still can't take it lightly, he needs to be cautious, low-key and try not to attract attention.

Just keep a low profile.

Lin Chuqian was able to lie back on her bed again. Xiangguo, who had lost a lot of weight, cried and cried, ate a lot of pastries, and finally went back to her room whimpering.

Looking at the familiar room, where the charcoal fire was warm and comfortable, she tossed and turned in the dark, and cursed herself inwardly.

Leaving the He Mansion suddenly, I'm not used to it.

She tossed and tossed until it was dawn, and then she fell into a shallow sleep, and when the sun was three poles, Xiangguo came to open the door, and a gust of cold wind swept in, she finally got up humming.

After freshening up and dressing up, she went to visit her father and sister Wei with great interest.

Late last night, when they pushed open the gate of the Lin Mansion, everyone was exhausted, and they hurriedly settled down and rested without caring about other things.

At dawn, Lin Chuqian couldn't wait to take care of it.

Walking briskly along the way, Lin Pinqi and his wife had already got up when they stepped into the courtyard gate.

"Father, Sister Wei."

Lin Chuqian purposely wore a red dress in order to be in the joy of the New Year, and she was so festively dressed.

"Aqian."

Wei Ninglan was very happy to see her, stood up and went to hold her hand.

"Happy New Year."

Standing in front of them, Lin Chuqian smiled like a flower, cupped her hands in congratulations and playfully reached out to beg for the new year's money.

"Father, Sister Wei, do you have my lucky money ready?"

Wei Ninglan and Lin Pinqi looked at each other and smiled, the latter smiled helplessly and shook his head. "Ah Qian, Dad really hasn't prepared this year's New Year's money."

"It doesn't matter if it's not ready." Lin Chuqian smiled sweetly, took the arms of the two of them and said with a smile, "As long as our family is safe and sound, everything will be fine."

Wei Ninglan seemed to be stabbed in the center of his mind, tears suddenly filled his eyes, and then felt that tears should not be shed on the occasion of the New Year, so he turned his head away and wiped it with a handkerchief.

"That's right." Lin Pinqi was very moved, pulling his wife and daughter to nod slowly, with a gentle tone. "As long as the family is safe and sound, why worry about other things?"

The three looked at each other and smiled.

Before Wei Ninglan was imprisoned, she was already very embarrassing, but now that she has suffered so many crimes in Dali Temple, her body is almost worn down.

Early in the morning, I ordered someone to invite a doctor to see him. After taking the pulse, the doctor just repeatedly told me to take good care of him, and not to worry too much or get emotional.In the end, some anti-fetal drugs were prescribed to let her take good care of her.

Wei Ninglan was still drowsy, presumably because she had been frightened recently and hadn't had a good rest, and she became sleepy not long after eating breakfast, so she was hurriedly supported to rest.

Lin Chuqian and Lin Pinqi wandered around the backyard together, and found that the garden that had not been tended for a long time was overgrown with weeds and was very barbaric.

The two father and daughter chatted about the recent events, all sighing.Lin Pinqi suffers in prison, and Lin Chuqian hides under the fence.

Of course, she didn't tell him where she was sent.

"Ah Qian, if you hadn't taken the risk this time, maybe your sister Wei and I would not have been released so soon."

Lin Pinqi folded his hands behind his back, looked at the wolves all over the garden, and sighed: "The Lin family is in such a difficult situation, I'm afraid it will be a rare favor in the future... Sigh."

Seeing him shaking his head and sighing, Lin Chuqian quickly comforted him.

"Father, it's a blessing to lose one's fortune. This time, everyone in the world knows that the Lin family is despised by His Majesty. From then on, we don't have to be feared by all parties like before. That's a good thing. From now on, we will live our lives well." In the days when you are old, it is a good thing to retire at this time."

Lin Pinqi nodded slowly, turned around and patted her on the shoulder very relieved: "I am very relieved to see you act decisively and assertively. Ah Qian has grown up, so I should be relieved."

Lin Chuqian nodded and smiled obediently.

Lin Pinqi smiled, and suddenly thought of Lin Feize again, gave a wry smile helplessly, and sighed again.

"I just don't know when your elder brother will be able to make people feel at ease."

Lin Feize came out of Dali Temple last night and did not return home, and no one knew where he was at this time, whether he was alive or dead.

"Brother..." Lin Chuqian didn't know what to do. "Do you want someone to find him back?"

"No need." Lin Pinqi shook his head with a serious and firm expression. "What you said just now is quite right. It's a blessing in disguise. Your brother's life has been so smooth since he was born. It's time for him to calm down and think about his future path."

Lin Chuqian couldn't help but fell silent.

She knew that Lin Feize must be unwilling to go back to the mansion because he felt ashamed of everyone in the Lin family, but it was freezing outside, and she was really worried that he would starve to death or freeze to death.

At this time, he was no longer the happy and unrestrained young master of the Lin family, nor the majestic Lin Duwei. Now he was just an ordinary citizen, at best a down-and-out son.

In this capital city full of royal family and nobles, if anyone wants to step on him, it is just a matter of raising his foot.

-

Ye Zhaojun obeyed the agreement very well, and arrived at the Lin Mansion shortly after noon, and she was not afraid of affecting Ye Mansion's reputation.

The charcoal fire in the house was very hot, Ye Zhaojun was a little out of breath when he came in, his cheeks were reddish, and he could tell he was jogging all the way.

"Why be so anxious, I won't run."

Lin Chu smiled and teased, raised his hand to make a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Ye Zhaojun drank the tea and smiled at her innocently. "I originally wanted to come after dawn, but my mother said that the Lin family had just returned from Dali Temple, and there would be some trivial matters to be dealt with, so she asked me to come back tomorrow, but I couldn't wait for tomorrow, so I couldn't help running over in the afternoon."

"Actually, there's nothing else to do."

Lin Chuqian drank her tea calmly, looking more at ease than Ye Zhaojun.

"Why not, I walked all the way just now, and I feel that your family needs to take a good rest." Ye Zhaojun frowned.

Although she walked in a hurry just now, the places she passed were all messy, untreated snow, scattered leaves and muddy trails.

If she hadn't known that this was the Lin Mansion, she would have thought that she had entered that dilapidated mansion.

"It's not urgent for now." Lin Chuqian smiled lightly. "Let's talk about it after I deal with the servants in the mansion."

"Deal with the servants in the mansion?"

Lin Chuqian nodded and hummed.He explained: "There are too many people in the mansion now, and my father has lost power. Although the daily expenses are not a problem, it is not a long-term solution after all."

Simply put, cut costs.

Some people in the mansion were brought back from Yizhou City, and some were old people who had been guarding the house. After the family returned to the capital, the housekeeper was worried about the lack of manpower, so he spent money to add a lot of servants. There are also various yards in the kitchen, and dozens of people are carefully counted, nearly 100 people.

Lin Chuqian felt that there was only such a small area in Lin's residence, and there was really no need for so many people.

Now that Wei Ninglan's fetus is unstable, a lot of things in the Lin family are on her.

This year has been really uneasy.

"Ah Qian, if you are struggling, I...I have also saved some private money over the years. Although it is not much, it can solve your urgent needs."

Ye Zhaojun twisted the handkerchief, speaking softly, afraid that she would feel embarrassed.

"Zhaojun, I won't borrow money from you for the time being." Lin Chuqian felt moved and funny. "The dismissal of the servants is to save money on the one hand, and on the other hand, to avoid any mistakes caused by people talking too much. As for the repair of the garden, it can be repaired slowly in the future. It's just that the Lin family has just passed the crisis, and I'm worried about your majesty. The lingering anger is still there, so my father and I both feel that what the Lin family needs most now is to keep a low profile, and wait for the limelight to pass before making long-term plans."

After explaining patiently, Ye Zhaojun seemed to understand, but she also understood that Lin Chuqian had her own plans, so she didn't need to worry too much.

"Ah Qian, something happened suddenly last night, and I didn't ask you carefully." Ye Zhaojun took her hand with a puzzled expression on his face. "How did you sneak into the palace and break into the palace banquet? Ah Qian, you... aren't you afraid?"

Afraid of being beheaded by Zhen Youming in a fit of rage?

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, what's the use of being afraid?" Lin Chuqian avoided the seriousness, deliberately didn't mention how she entered the palace, just lowered her head and drank tea, pretending to be sad.

"But when I think of my family members being imprisoned, I can't care less about being afraid."

"Aqian, you are so brave." Ye Zhaojun patted her hand and comforted her gently, "If I were you, I would never be able to do it. When I went back last night, my father couldn't help but praise you again and again, saying that you are filial and sincere, and saying You have a wonderful literary talent. I have never seen my father praise a person so much."

"Master Ye is exaggerating too much, I am actually just... forced by the situation."

Lin Chuqian didn't know whether it was because of shame or guilty conscience, she really didn't want to mention the palace banquet last night.

"Zhaojun, will someone make things difficult for you after I left that day?"

That day she left Ye Mansion in a hurry, and she didn't know if the person who led the troops to arrest him made things difficult on purpose.

When this matter was brought up, Ye Zhaojun's expression was strange and he was quite uncomfortable. "No, I did what you said that day, why would someone make things difficult for me."

Lin Chuqian had no doubt about him, nodded and smiled, raised her hand and continued to make tea.

In fact, she didn't have the habit of making tea before, and the people below made it and served it, but she got used to it in He Mansion, and she even fell in love with making tea.

The two sipped tea and chatted, the old butler walked in with those books, saw that there were guests, and then avoided them wisely after saluting.

Lin Chuqian beckoned, feeling that there was nothing to avoid. "Housekeeper, come in."

The old housekeeper didn't lose due respect for her because of her youth. Hearing her voice, he didn't hesitate any longer. He walked in and began to explain the current inventory accounts in the mansion, as well as the question of whether the servants would stay or leave.

Lin Chuqian drank tea and listened slowly, with a serious expression, listening very carefully.

"Except for the old man in the mansion and the necessary manpower, the other servants should give more money."

The old butler nodded repeatedly, and sighed helplessly: "The current situation in the mansion is really not suitable for raising so many servants."

"Well, I'll trouble the housekeeper to take care of things. If you have anything else to do, just come to me directly. Don't bother Madam to raise the baby."

"The old slave knows, Second Miss, don't worry."

After the matter was settled, the old butler left respectfully again.If it was in the past, he might still think that the butler of the second young lady was too young to know how to deal with the complicated and trivial matters in the mansion.

But after communicating with her today, he secretly admired her, not only because of her decisiveness and generosity, but also because she was meticulous about everything, almost everything.

The butler's ability is no worse than that of Wei Ninglan, even better.

After the old housekeeper left, Ye Zhaojun, who had been silently accompanying him, couldn't help but wow and sigh.

"Ah Qian, you manage your house in style!"

Lin Chuqian rubbed her cheek in embarrassment, because she once worked hard in the smoky backyard of He Mansion, and now such trifles on Linfu Street are really nothing.

Ye Zhaojun saw that she didn't answer, so he followed up with another sentence. "You are amazing, you can do anything."

"Yes, I can do anything."

Lin Chuqian was amused by her adoring eyes, and she blinked and joked with her.
