Chapter 516 Young Master is still better off with the young lady than anyone else
He smiled and nodded at Wu Qingfeng, "Your two godfathers and godmothers, along with Aunt Gu and your mother, have been busy for so long, and have drunk several cups of tea."
“My father-in-law was almost driven to the brink of death (furious) several times before we finally reached an agreement. If I were to shake my head now, wouldn’t I be letting down the elders’ good intentions? Ah… what are you doing…”
"Wu Qingfeng, put me down, stop spinning me, I'm dizzy..."
Wu Qingfeng only saw her nod, and didn't hear anything she said after that. When she finally finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, picked her up around the waist, and spun her around several times.
Hearing her strange noise, he slowly stopped, but refused to put her down, saying only, "Chang'er, thank you, I'm so happy..."
He grinned, his smile somewhat naive, a stark contrast to his usual calm and composed demeanor.
Lin Chang'er was also seeing him for the first time, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek, "Are you awake?"
Wu Qingfeng smiled even more broadly, "It doesn't hurt. Pinch me again so I can make sure I'm not dreaming."
Lin Chang'er looked up helplessly at the ceiling and pinched his waist.
Wu Qingfeng cried out, "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."
Lin Chang'er turned to look at him, "Are you sure you're not dreaming?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded, and Lin Chang'er glared at him, "Aren't you going to put me down yet?"
Wu Qingfeng smiled at her again, as if he had drunk fake alcohol, "Let me hug you a little longer."
Lin Chang'er pouted, "What's all this fuss about? This is nothing! With so many elders worrying about our affairs, not to mention Mother and Aunt, shouldn't we come up with some rules?"
"You don't want us to still be entangled with people in the capital when we get married, do you?"
Wu Qingfeng paused, then immediately calmed down and gently placed the person back in the armchair. "You're right."
The two plotted all night long, but Lin Chang'er was so tired that she sent him back to her own room.
The following afternoon, Madam Wu "fell ill".
Lin Chang'er immediately sought out a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to examine her. A prescription was written, and she took the medicine, but after several days, she still did not get better.
Left with no other choice, the Gu family invited a doctor from the city.
We consulted every doctor in the city with even a little reputation, took the medicine, and took supplements as needed, leaving no stone unturned.
But Madam Wu's body was like a wooden basin with a rotten bottom; no matter what good things were thrown into it, they couldn't be retained.
Seeing that his illness was getting worse day by day, Wu Qingfeng also took leave from the county government to take care of him.
With such a commotion, Cai Jiaojiao, who was still at the post station, naturally couldn't possibly have missed it.
Of course, even if she didn't have a way to hear about it, Wu Qingfeng and Lin Chang'er would find a way to leak the news to her.
Upon hearing this, Cai Jiaojiao immediately took her maid and headed straight for Linshui Village.
Although she didn't like this aunt and had little contact with her.
But she was, after all, the nominal mistress of the Wu family and the biological mother of Qingfeng's cousin.
Most importantly, she had heard from her mother since she was a child that her aunt's dowry was incredibly rich, with a ten-mile-long procession of red bridal procession, and not a single piece of the dowry was just for show.
She took this opportunity to care for her ailing cousin, and knowing that her aunt would not mistreat her after she married him, she was sure her aunt would not treat her badly.
At that time, she will be his only daughter-in-law, and all that dowry, which you can't take with you when you die, will definitely be given to her.
Thinking this way, even if she disliked someone she hadn't had much contact with, she would suppress her anger.
Cai Jiaojiao had previously caused trouble for Lin Chang'er, but she did not enter Linshui Village.
However, in Linshui Village, you don't even need to ask; it's the biggest house after you enter the village, and it's not hard to find.
When Cai Jiaojiao arrived, Lin Chang'er was preparing medicine for Madam Wu.
Wu Qingfeng stayed in the room with his "seriously ill" wife for a while, then came out to check if the medicine had worked.
Liu Zi rushed in, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"
Lin Chang'er asked before Wu Qingfeng could, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Liu Zi, panting heavily, said, "Miss Biao is here and is making a scene at the door."
Lin Chang'er fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, "What's she doing?"
Liu Zi said, "Miss Biao said that Madam was not unwell before, but became seriously ill as soon as she arrived here. She said it must be because we neglected Madam."
"She said she doesn't trust us to take care of the madam, and that it's too hard for the young master to take care of the madam alone. She's clamoring to come in and serve the madam herself!"
Lin Chang'er turned to look at Wu Qingfeng, a slight smile playing on her lips, her heart filled with joy. Here she comes, Cai Jiaojiao has finally arrived! They've been waiting so long they're practically growing mushrooms on their heads.
Liu Zi had no idea what the two of them were up to; he only thought that this cousin was too much of a troublemaker.
She had a conflict with Lin Da Dong Jia before, and the two couldn't get along. Lin Da Dong Jia was also the lady's prospective daughter-in-law, so that cousin couldn't see the lady for ages.
At this point, I have no idea what he's thinking.
In any case, he absolutely couldn't let Miss Biao offend Mr. Lin.
Lin Da Dongjia is not only his half-master, but also his family. When Lin Da Dongjia gets married in the future, he will be her family.
So, he took the opportunity to put pressure on Wu Qingfeng, saying, "Young Master, you know this Miss best. She's spoiled and arrogant. The doctor said that Madam needs to rest. If she's allowed to serve Madam, let alone help her recover, she'll probably make things even worse."
Wu Qingfeng's lips twitched. Listen to what they're saying.
How many times has he met Cai Jiaojiao?
He could count them on two hands, so how could he possibly understand the other person?
Wu Qingfeng said with a stern face, "I don't know. I only know that Miss Biao, like my mother, comes from the capital and is familiar with the customs of the capital."
"My mother is currently ill. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could offer more hometown flavors in our meals?"
Liu Zi's face twisted in disbelief...
While it's not entirely unreasonable, why doesn't the young master think about Master Lin at all?
Isn't this a veiled criticism that the head of the household hasn't taken good care of his wife?
"Young Master, if we want a chef with Beijing-style cuisine, why don't we just ask the Sihai Restaurant? Why bother..."
"Enough..." He was about to persuade him again, but Wu Qingfeng interrupted him with a light shout, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
Liu Zi was stunned, his eyes widened, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He quickly bowed and said, "It was your subordinate who overstepped his bounds."
Wu Qingfeng's face was cold, and his voice was even colder, "This is a one-time exception."
Having said that, he walked towards the main gate with his hands behind his back.
"Young Master..." This was the first time Liu Zi had felt such a profound sense of powerlessness.
He turned to look at Lin Chang'er, who was still diligently preparing medicine for Madam Wu, and squatted down to help her.
Feeling he had to say something, he spoke again, "Miss Lin, please don't worry, the young master is just worried about his wife, that's why..."
"Young Master and Miss have nothing. Back in the capital, Young Master didn't like Miss, and he probably still does now. Young Master and Miss are still the best of friends!"
