Chapter 221 'The Uninvited Guest'
Chapter 221 'The Uninvited Guest'
The most lively little fat boy and Song Yun immediately stood up. The little fat boy didn't even care that he was carrying a baby in his belly and hurriedly went to greet Yin San.
Song Yun even left the child with Ji Heng, who was closest to him, and followed the chubby boy without giving in, not forgetting to support him along the way.
Little Yizhou was casually thrown away by his father, and he was a little confused. His eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and two crystal tears hung on his long eyelashes, about to fall, which made him look very pitiful!
Ji Heng held Xiao Yizhou stiffly, not daring to move at all. The two of them, one big and one small, just stared at each other.
Li Huanzhi and Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle at this, while feeling helpless about the unruly Song Yun and Feng Yu, but they never thought of restraining the two of them.
Just then, Feng Yu had already taken the letter and walked to Su Mu's side, intending to hand it to Su Mu to read first.
To everyone's surprise, seven letters fell out as soon as the box was opened.
Wow! So many letters!
Feng Yu's eyes widened as she took the envelope, counted the contents several times, and then, following the recipient's name on the envelope, began sending the mail while muttering to herself:
"Amu's, Ayun's, Huanzhi's, Ayu's (mine), Young Master Ji's..."
Huh? There are even some from Xiao Ansi and Xiao Yizhou!
The others were also surprised that Lin Shu had sent letters to both children, which showed that she had put her heart into it.
Ji Heng was thrilled to receive the letter, and he wasn't the only one. Seeing that the four husbands of the Lin family seemed to be immersed in the joy of Lin Shu's letter, he tactfully got up to take his leave!
Of course, the biggest reason was that he had written some explicit poems of longing in his previous letter to Lin Shu. He was unsure how Lin Shu would respond, and he was both nervous and expectant, so he was in a hurry to return home.
After Ji Heng left, Song Yun, Huanzhi, and the little fat boy all returned to their own courtyards with the letters.
Su Mu slowly opened the two letters. Looking at Lin Shu's familiar handwriting and her warm inquiries, he couldn't help but feel a surge of longing, and his eyes reddened.
Just then, a tiny, chubby paw stretched out, reached up to touch the letter, then withdrew, its eyes shining brightly: "Mother..."
"Yes, it was written by Mother." Su Mu gently patted An Si's head.
Then she read to Xiao Ansi the letter Lin Shu had written to her. It's unclear whether Xiao Ansi understood it, but she kept pointing at the letter and calling out "Mother."
The same scenario was playing out in several other courtyards.
Lin Shu's letters to each person expressed different feelings—
What Su Mu received was a deep longing, and also heartache for his hard work in managing the Lin family affairs;
Lin Shu felt guilty towards Huanzhi, worried that she wouldn't be able to come back and be with Huanzhi before she gave birth.
What I worry about more is Song Yun and the little fat boy, especially since the little fat boy is already quite young, and with the lively Song Yun along with him, they're practically two unruly kids!
In addition, the tone of the letter was extremely gentle, and every word and sentence was very targeted in flattering her husbands. She truly deserves to be the top scholar!
Of course, this also resulted in all four people at the dinner table having bloodshot eyes that evening.
……
The Grand Tutor's Residence, Ji Heng's Courtyard.
After Ji Heng returned, he sent away all the servants who attended him, including Yantai, who served him personally.
He then slowly opened the letter. The contents were perfectly normal, all of them serious responses to his questions.
In the end, it was a poem that made his heart race and a sweet smile involuntarily appear on his lips—
[At dawn I gaze at the sky, at dusk I watch the clouds; whether I'm walking or sitting, I think of you.]
Ji Heng stretched out her jade-like fingers and gently touched the poem, only snapping back to reality after a long while.
Immediately afterwards, he took out an exquisite sandalwood box from under the dressing table, opened it, and carefully placed the letter inside...
After doing all this, Ji Heng sat on the cushion in front of the guqin, casually adjusted it a couple of times, and then began to turn the pegs and pluck the strings...
Throughout the entire Grand Tutor's residence, a faint, elegant, and melodious 'clanging' sound could be heard, a cheerful sound tinged with a barely perceptible hint of longing...
In no time, everyone in the manor who knew anything about things knew that their young master was in a good mood!
……
at the same time.
In the Southern Kingdom, at the Peerless Pavilion.
Lin Shu was discussing Feng Xin's affairs with Ji Wan, Shen Lin, and Ye Feng when Wushuang Pavilion was greeted by a familiar 'uninvited guest'!
After hearing Chou Er's report, Ji Wan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly sat up excitedly from her seat: "You silly girl! You found him? Where is he?"
Ji Wan was unaware of A Zhu's true identity, nor did she know that the other party was no longer stupid.
Shen Lin and Ye Feng looked at Ji Wan with a mocking expression. Lin Shu had been busy with many things these days, and she only knew about the time when Lin and Ji were missing from Ji Wan's mouth. And this 'little fool' appeared frequently in Ji Wan's mouth!
Lin Shu glanced at Ji Wan with a puzzled look, then calmly instructed Chou Er, "Let him in!"
"Yes." Ugly Second breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The newcomer was none other than A-Zhu, whose kung fu was extremely skilled and ruthless. If Wushuang Pavilion did not use its full strength, there might be unexpected complications.
However, Lin Shu had previously asked Wushuang Pavilion to find this person, and Chou Er was unsure of Lin Shu's attitude towards him, so he did not dare to order the people of Wushuang Pavilion to take drastic measures. He could only come to report to Lin Shu...
After Chou Er left, the person was brought over in a short while.
A-Zhu, dressed in white, was overjoyed to see Lin Shu. Even from a distance, she fluttered towards her like a butterfly, excitedly calling out:
"elder sister!"
"Silly boy! It really is you!" Along with the "sister" voice, another excited female voice rang out.
Lin Shu looked at A Zhu rushing towards her, took two steps to the side, and moved aside.
This caused A-Zhu to miss his target, or rather, he ended up on Ji Wan, who was coming towards him, and the way he did it looked like he was the one who took the initiative!
Ji Wan happily patted A Zhu's back a few times, her lips curving into a wide smile: "Silly boy, you missed your old lady that much! Haha!"
Azhu felt a bit of pain where she had been slapped, and after pushing her away a few times without success, a hint of annoyance flashed in her seemingly innocent eyes. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she stomped hard on Ji Wan's instep.
"Ouch! That really hurts! Ouch..." Ji Wan immediately lowered her head and jumped up and down, clutching her foot.
A-Zhu grinned at her as usual, then turned and shrank behind Lin Shu, saying in a pitiful voice, "Sister...she's bad!"
Seeing that Azhu was indignant towards Ji Wan and was smiling and flattering towards Lin Shu, Shen Lin and Ye Feng were immediately intrigued, as if they had just eaten some juicy gossip. They sat down with great interest, almost ready to grab a handful of melon seeds to eat!
Shen Lin (inwardly grinning, gossipy face): A love triangle!
Ye Feng (with a gossipy face): Tsk tsk tsk! She (Ji Wan) loves him (A Zhu), he (A Zhu) loves her (Lin Shu), she...
Lin Shu looked at the expressions of the two of them, her face darkening. She turned to A Zhu and introduced him, saying, "People from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. As for their names, I don't know much about them either."
"Sister...don't leave Azhu..." Azhu burst into tears in front of everyone, her eyes blurry with tears as she sobbed softly, shaking her head and saying this in a silly manner.
She looked exactly like Lin Shu was a heartless woman.
