Chapter 207 I Want to Take My Mother’s Dowry Away
Listening to their description, Lin Yuexiao burst into tears!
"My dear sons, it's great to have you as your mother! With you protecting me, I guess no one will dare to bully me in the future!"
After hearing their mother's praise, the four men were even happier! One of them lay on Lin Yue's face and drooled again!
"Mom, the banquet is about to start. The chef prepared all our favorite dishes today! Are you hungry?"
Jiro drooled and touched his stomach.
"Did you guys just steal some food?"
As soon as Lin Yue saw their greasy little mouths, she knew they must have been fed by the chef! They hadn't even wiped the grease off their mouths, and they had just kissed her all over the face. She would have to wash her face again soon!
"Nothing can be hidden from mother!"
Shiro turned over and accidentally pressed on his arm, and cried out "ouch".
"what happened?"
Lin Yue keenly noticed Silang's abnormality.
"Where's the injury?"
"Mother! It's that ugly Lin Ru! She burned Silang!"
Erlang was a quick-witted man, and he told the whole story in a few words.
"You can do it! You've all learned to report good news but not bad news! Have you forgotten that mother's medical skills are very powerful? Next time you get injured, you are not allowed to hide it from mother. You must tell her right away, understand?"
As Lin Yue spoke, she rolled up Silang's sleeves. What she saw was shocking. Although the wounds were almost healed, there were still some places without scabs. No wonder it still hurt when touched.
"Does it hurt?"
Her heart ached, and she blew carefully on Silang's arm. Although it had been a long time, Silang still felt his mother's love for him, and his heart was filled with joy! He even glanced at the other three men with pride.
The other three men: They were injured and tried to win their mother’s love. What pitiful little things they are!
"I used the medicine my mother gave me, and I feel much better now!"
Silang said with some guilt that, in fact, he had forgotten to apply the medicine several times, and in order to play the victim's trick, he had used this arm many times to win the grandfather's partial listening and belief, so that in the end his grandfather almost avoided him!
Lin Yue activated the healing function of the system and covered Silang's wound with her hand. Silang only felt warmth and itchiness on his arm, emitting a faint soft light. After a while, the wound faded visibly!
"Mom is so awesome!"
"Don't do this again in the future. You must never punish your enemy by hurting yourself, understand?"
"Know it!"
The four men flattered each other for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, they got out of bed, changed their clothes and went to the banquet.
Lin Yue actually took note of this. How dare you hurt her child! Lin Ru, Lin Ru, I wanted to let you go, but it seems I still have to teach you a lesson.
During the dinner, the whole family gathered together and Lin Chong seemed a little excited.
"Yue'er is back! Our Lin family is finally complete. Come, let's raise a toast together! Celebrate Yue'er's return home!"
It was rare for Lin Ru to eat quietly and behave very well. This made Lang Shi feel relieved, but also felt a little strange. Yesterday, Nanny Lin told her that after the two sisters Lin Ru had a chat, the second lady went back to the yard and never came out. Considering Lin Ru's personality, this was a bit unusual!
If she had revealed anything, he would definitely not be able to bear it and would come to him first, but she didn't. Does this mean that Lin Yue knew something, or did something to Lin Ru?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Lin Yue talking to me.
"Madam Hou, thank you for taking the trouble to decorate Handan Courtyard so beautifully. I love it. Our wedding is coming up soon, and Madam Hou has put a lot of thought into it. Yue'er is offering tea as wine to express her gratitude."
She had a polite smile on her face, but she felt a little sad inside.
Speaking of the wedding, she felt that although Lin Yue's return to the Lin family would be beneficial to the Lin family, she still needed to prepare a dowry for her wedding. That would be a huge expense! And it couldn't be shabby. Following Lin Chong's instructions was a bit of a hassle! The royal family had to be respected, and the Ningyuan Marquisate also had to maintain its reputation!
Lang's heart was bleeding, but she had to pretend to be generous and decent.
"You're too polite, Yue'er! Family members shouldn't talk about family matters. I was saying that yesterday! You just arrived in the capital, and the Ministry of Rites is handling all the arrangements for your marriage. Now that you've returned to your own home, shouldn't the Ministry of Rites send the prince's betrothal gifts?"
Ha! You're already thinking about Ye Yin's betrothal gift before you've even prepared your trousseau! There's no point in thinking about it, it's not for the Marquis' Mansion!
Lin Yue looked shy and glanced at Lin Chong.
"Everything is decided by Father. I don't know about this yet...why don't you send someone to the Southwest Palace to let us know?"
Lin Chong immediately understood and even blamed Lang for bringing this up in public. "Of course, since Yue'er has returned, the Ministry of Rites must have received the news, and the betrothal gifts will naturally be sent to the Marquis' Mansion! What are you worried about?"
Mrs. Lang's expression changed slightly, but her smile remained. "I'm not worried, I just said it casually. After all, a wedding is a major event in life, and we can't be careless, right? Yue'er?"
You're kidding! If the betrothal gifts aren't delivered here, no matter how much dowry the Marquis's Mansion prepares, it won't be impressive. The betrothal gifts for the Prince of Southwest marrying Lin Yue will definitely be substantial! Wouldn't that bring honor to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion?
Lin Yue nodded and said that the betrothal gifts would be sent to the Marquis' Mansion and Ye Yin would arrange the rest.
As for what Mrs. Lang was planning, she knew it clearly. It was nothing more than telling everyone in public that she was the daughter of the Lin family from now on. The betrothal gifts and dowry had been sent out from the Lin family, which meant that she could no longer treat the Lin family as outsiders!
Lin Yue’s main purpose is another thing.
"There's one more thing I hope Father will agree to. When my mother first married me, she must have had a dowry. I hope Father will give those things to me to take away."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Lang's expression changed, but also Lin Chong's expression changed.
However, he quickly returned to normal and just said, "That's natural," and that was it.
Mrs. Lang also cooperated and quickly changed the subject without further discussion. Lin Yue knew that there must be something fishy going on.
She didn't know whether her mother's dowry was still there, so she just mentioned it tentatively. She remembered that Fanghua, her mother's personal maid, came to the Lin family with her. However, not long after arriving at the Lin family, Lin Chong transferred Fanghua to the farm. Lin Yue was very angry at the time, and later Lin Chong had no choice but to tell her that Fanghua was not clean and he didn't want her to lead him astray. Although she didn't believe it at the time, she was helpless.
Now that I think about it, Fanghua was either killed by them or locked up by them.
If what Lin Ru said is true, then whether Fang Hua is alive or not is very important. She has sent a message to Ye Yin, asking him to find Fang Hua at all costs, whether she is alive or dead.
