row up, it will protect your souls from dispersing."Even after you become powerful, you won't be able to leave here because the Taoist priest set a restriction. If you forcibly leave this place, the...Ripple was very pleased with the explanation given by the stone mill. It seemed that this prince was quite enlightened, knowing how to make her even more satisfied.

"Lin Yaozu hasn't woken up yet. If he wakes up, he will definitely come back. How do you want to handle this"

The millstone continued to ask, knowing ripples' ancestor well, she wouldn't leave herself open to future harm.

You're right, but he doesn't deserve the death penalty. I was thinking that since he hit his head, it should be easy for him to lose his memory.

"Oh! You're right. I just woke up, but I don't remember anything at all. My head is killing me!"

The millstone immediately told Ripple the first-hand news.

Are there any other people in the old hunter's house

"And there is one more daughter."

Then it's settled! This debt of life will be repaid with my body.

Ripple thinks this is good. Lin Yaizu is the son of a minister's family, raised with gold and jade. Other things aside, his face is still very handsome. The old hunter definitely won't dislike him.

"Huh But the daughter of the Orion family isn't very pretty."

The words of the stone mill were somewhat veiled.

At this point, does Lin Yaozhu have the right to choose Not only did someone save him, but they also made sure he wouldn't starve. He should just be happy about it!

Besides, it's precisely because the other person isn't attractive that they need someone like Lin Yaozhu to improve their appearance. Anyway, he can't have children, so he can't produce any illegitimate sons or daughters for me.

Ripple said carelessly, it's not her who spends days with the girl.

"Well, you're certainly decisive!"

If not for Patriarch Lianri being present, he would have long since given a thumbs-up.

Lin Yaozu, who woke up in the little wooden house, was groaning with his head in his hands. His mind was blank, he couldn't even remember who he was.

Lin Zhi, with his dark skin and rather rough features, looked anxiously at the handsome man before him. His brows were furrowed in worry, and he asked his hunter father:

"Dad, this isn't right of him. Why don't we ask Old Liu to take a look"

"Well, you go ask someone to rebandage his wound. If it's just forgetting things, then it's not a big deal."

Orion, being a shrewd old man, knew just by looking at the other's attire that this was no ordinary young master from an aristocratic family. He saved the man hoping to receive some kind of reward in return.

Looking at his daughter's attitude now, it seems she has taken a liking to this young master. And since he is currently injured and doesn't remember his own identity, he can take this opportunity to make good plans for his daughter.

Thus, Lin Yaizu, who had suffered amnesia, moved in with the old hunter's family. After he slept in the same bed as the hunter's daughter, Lin Zhi, the hunter forcefully arranged for them to marry. Furthermore, Lin Yaizu became a son-in-law by marriage.

In this way, Lin Yaizu began his miserable second half of life. Until the day he died, he remembered everything. He was the only son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the imperial city. He had married and had a beautiful and skilled wife, as well as lovely children. But how did he end up like this If he had known better, he would not have returned to the imperial city with the grain convoy in advance.

Of course, all of this is hindsight. His fate was predictable.

After Lin Yaozhu passed away, the body of Shangshu's wife also declined, and she died within two years. Lianyi became the new mistress of Shangshufu. The old Shangshu, after losing both his beloved wife and son, fell ill with a broken heart.

This time, Lian Yi was quite sincere. She specially went to the old Shangshu's bedside and wept, saying:

"Father, you are the pillar of our family now. If you fall, what will become of us orphans and our widowed mother Who knows how those people in the capital will take advantage of us!"

"The children have not grown up and still need your protection. You must never abandon us."

Already sensible AnAn, NingNing and BeiBei all stood in a row before grandpa's bed, politely saying:

"Grandpa, I hope you get well soon!"

"Grandpa, don't sleep for too long, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up like Grandma."

"Grandpa, come hold Baby."

Lin Shangshu looked at the three children in front of his bed. In the end, he gathered the breath that was about to dissipate back together. He had no sons, and he still had to consider his grandchildren. Could he really rely on his widowed daughter-in-law

Lord Lin recovered from his illness after half a month and finally returned to the court. Ripple also successfully took control of the entire back garden of Lord Lin's mansion.

Before Lin Yaizu, all the admirers and suitors had already been sent away when she ordered a reduction in expenses. After all, she didn't have any children, so no one could say a bad word about her, and they would even praise her for being frugal and thrifty.

That day, Lian'Yi was teaching three children poetry when Mei Zhi hurried into the warm room and whispered in her ear,

"Madam Hou has arrived, saying she came to see you and bring the New Year's gifts."

It's rare for her to come to my door and give me a New Year's gift.

Ripples scoffed with a smirk, looking at it like a fox paying New Year's greetings to chickens.

"My lady, shall I see you or not"

Mei Zhi asked in a low voice.

"Of course I have to meet her, after all, she's my mother."

The ripples waved goodbye.

"Yes, madam, I will invite you in at once."

"Madam, I will take the young master and miss downstairs."

Then Zhen Mama immediately said.

"No, they can stay in there. I'll see Mother outside."

Ripple said carelessly.

"An'an, Ningning, Baby, you three write for a while first. When Mother finishes her business, I'll come and recite poems with you."

Yes, Mother!

Three children immediately said.

As the madam entered the room, Lianyi curtsied first before smiling and saying:

"Mother, why have you bothered to come see me If there's something, just have a servant pass on the message."

"Since it's almost Chinese New Year, I took this opportunity to visit you with some gifts."

Mrs. Hou's smile was fake, but she still said with a soft face.

“I have caused my mother worry, this is my fault. The Shangshu Mansion has had several incidents recently, and as a newly widowed woman, I am unable to return to the Hou Mansion. Please understand, Mother.”

Ripples feigned sadness and said.

"Oh, tell me about your luck! How did you end up marrying such a short-lived man"

Madam Hou sighed.

"Mother, don't worry! I'm doing well now. As long as I raise the children well, my father-in-law definitely won't mistreat me. Besides, now that I'm in charge of everything, life is comfortable."

Ripples said faintly.

Mrs. Hou disapproved with a glance at Lian Yi, then waved her hand to signal the people around her to leave. She then looked at the people around Lian Yi and motioned for her to dismiss them as well.

Liàn Yī knew that Lady Hòu definitely had something to say, so she waved her hand and let Méizhī and the others leave.

When they were left outside alone, with only ripples on the water and Madam Hou, she finally spoke.

"Ripple, your mother also feels sorry for you. You are only in your twenties now, the prime of your life. Do you want to spend the rest of your life languishing in the backyard of the Minister's Residence Those children are Lin after all, you should make plans for yourself early."

Liàn Yī was surprised that Madam Hòu had set her sights on her, a widowed daughter. She looked up at Madam Hòu and remained silent for a long time, causing Madam Hòu to feel uncomfortable. Finally, she spoke in a low voice:

"Mother, who are you planning to sell your daughter to this time" focus on being a filial daughter."The five old women waved their hands."Thank you both elders. I, Lianyi, will go to the front hall to keep vigil."Lian Yi got up and bowed before being helped by Ziya...
