Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1119 - 483: Marital Discord (Part 2)
Lady Lin comforted: "What are you saying? Your son-in-law is out handling important matters, where would there be a woman? Stop imagining things."
Lady Lin talked with Lin Qinghan for quite a while, basically advising her to humble herself and stop being temperamental. Lady Lin roughly guessed that Tingzheng was uncomfortable due to the previous incident, which is why he is being cold towards her daughter. The only way now is to appease Tingzheng first and have the son-in-law mediate, so things won’t stay strained.
After listening to Lady Lin, Lin Qinghan humbled herself in front of Tingzheng and was thoughtful and considerate, appearing very virtuous.
Tingzheng genuinely liked Lin Qinghan; otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on marrying her against Yueyao’s wishes. Seeing Lin Qinghan admitting fault and bearing her pregnancy, Tingzheng softened immediately: "You go apologize to your sister, if she forgives you, this matter will be over."
Lin Qinghan was unwilling, and Tingzheng’s expression changed immediately, he turned and left in anger.
Lin Qinghan felt aggrieved.
Lin Qinghan’s wet nurse, Nanny Shi, advised: "Miss, you have managed to calm the master’s anger. If you don’t go with the master to apologize to Great Aunt, the master will surely be angry again. Miss, Great Aunt cannot be offended." Nanny Shi could not understand what Lin Qinghan was thinking. Although Madam Lian initially disagreed with this marriage, since Miss got married, Madam Lian hasn’t done anything. Why does Miss have such a great hostility towards Madam Lian, as if Miss was possessed when she pointed at Madam Lian and scolded her last time.
Lin Qinghan was unwilling: "I’ve done nothing wrong, why should I apologize to her?" Don’t take her for a fool, everything happening in her residence is clear to Lian Yueyao. Lin Qinghan just couldn’t understand why Lian Yueyao has to interfere in matters of her family’s household.
Lin Qinghan’s attitude of refusal to admit wrongdoing angered Tingzheng. In his fury, he used work as an excuse and practically did not return home.
Lin Qinghan managed to endure for a day or two, but when Tingzheng didn’t return for half a month, she couldn’t take it any longer. When Lady Lin came to visit her, she cried uncontrollably.
Lady Lin could only advise her daughter to apologize to Yueyao: "Madam Lian raised Tingzheng, and Tingzheng respects and cherishes her like a mother. As Tingzheng’s wife, you should respect Madam Lian as he does."
Madam Lin cried bitterly: "I want to, but she dislikes me so much, how can I cling to her!"
Lady Lin explained the seriousness of the matter to Lin Qinghan: "If you don’t apologize, it will create a rift between you and your husband, and you will regret it later. It’s better to lower your head to Madam Lian now than to regret later."
Lin Qinghan finally felt fearful in her heart and agreed to apologize to Yueyao. When Madam Lin arrived, Yueyao was sorting the items An Zhichen sent back from the Northwest.
Xiang Wei looked at the fur delivery, laughed and said: "Just days ago we were saying he should send some nice fur for you and your daughters to make clothes, and now he sends ten-odd boxes; he really is quite wealthy!"
Yueyao wasn’t very interested in the fur, instead, she liked the dozen or so pieces of jade An Zhichen sent. These jade pieces were of good quality, brought from Xinjiang, and among them were some top-grade Hetian Jade. Knowing Yueyao likes wearing jade jewelry, An Zhichen simply gathered these jade pieces and sent them back to the capital for Yueyao to turn into jewelry.
Xiang Wei, who usually likes nitpicking, couldn’t help but praise: "Either nothing at all or something grand once it’s started." Judging from these gifts, An Zhichen really gained quite a bit.
Yueyao, both amused and exasperated: "Are you full with nothing better to do? If you’re so idle, don’t go to the shop anymore, help me with the household instead." Whoever sends gifts, they always have to evaluate the worth first, then deduce how much benefit was gained. Isn’t this the definition of idleness? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Xiang Wei was unwilling to handle such trivial matters: "That’s not possible, I need to earn money properly to prepare a substantial dowry for Kexin, and to accumulate wealth for the three little ones."
Yueyao had no words to mock: "It’s fine to say these things in front of me, just don’t say them in front of An Zhichen." If An Zhichen heard this, he would surely not let Xiang Wei see the kids again.
Xiang Wei laughed like a cat that just stole cream.
Yueyao was pondering how to deal with these jade pieces when she heard the maid outside say Lin Qinghan was seeking an audience: "Madam, aunt is at the doorway heavily pregnant, saying she won’t leave if we’re not allowed to pass the message, the gatekeeper was truly helpless, thus he reported it." Xiang Wei had ordered initially that anyone from the Lin Family be rejected. Plus, everyone in An Mansion knew about Lin Qinghan scolding Yueyao, so the gatekeeper executed it very well. But today’s situation is special, and the gatekeeper couldn’t withstand anymore.
