ofound emptiness, shining bright primordial essence..." His frigid voice murmured softly beside my ear.Jiang Qiyun's voice has always been so pleasant to hear.As clear as spring water, though icy cold...Though Madam Lin was domineering, she still maintained the proper decorum and politeness, not creating a scene in someone else's Taoist temple.

But her suppressed anger and aura sent chills down everyone's spines.

She saw Lin Yanqin timidly walk into the side hall, coldly placing the teacup on the small table: "Well now, little Qinyin, you actually have such guts! If your father knew about this, how would you explain it Don't think that everything is carried by your brother! You dare to do something so scandalous! When did you become so bold! Or was it that young master Mu from the Mu family who gave you some love potion"

I rolled my eyes under my breath. Thankfully, Mrs. Lin didn't berate my brother.

Lin Yanqin walked to her mother's face and whispered, "It's not like that..."

"What is going on! Where do you think you can run to Tell me, where in the whole world can you run to Unless you run off to the mountains to become a wild person! What do you want to do You foolish girl! Don't you know that you have to be careful with every move you make!"

Lin family siblings' father is getting ready to take over the reins of power. With this kind of status, they have to be low-key, even more so than usual. Lin Yanqin can't go out to work, she can't go out to play, and she can't even travel abroad now.

The only fun thing is that they come to my house to see me and my brother.

Lin Yan was sympathetic to her sister, so she pretended not to know about what was going on between her and my brother. She turned a blind eye to it and secretly condoned her decision.

"Mom, Yunfan isn't feeling well. I just accompanied him to see an old Taoist priest for some blessings and to ward off bad luck, it's not what you think..."

"Then why didn't you tell me! Why did you just leave without reporting"

“Because, I don’t want to be followed by bodyguards.” Lin Yanqin whispered in reply.

Mrs. Lin sneered, "You think there are too many people hindering your intimacy"

Lin Yanqin lowered her head and did not dare to answer.

Of course, who wants a bunch of cold noodles and black suits staring at them on a date

"Where are the Mu family youngsters Hiding somewhere, aren't they Why won't they show their faces" Mrs. Lin said angrily.

I stepped forward and replied, “Mrs. Lin, please don't be so angry. My brother did come to ask the elder for help warding off bad luck. He's busy right now and will be here shortly.”

Mrs. Lin's eyes were fixed on me, taking me in from head to toe. She suddenly asked, "When I saw you at the banquet last time, you had a big belly. Now you've recovered your figure... Did you have a baby"

What

"Yes..." I wasn't sure what she meant by that.

"Oh, congratulations then... Since you're a mother now, you should know what a child means to a mother. Since you and Xiaoqin are friends, please think of Xiaoqin." She said to me sternly.

"The descendant of a grave robber who used to dig for gold, is entangled with my daughter! I'm already very displeased! But I listened to my son's advice and gave my daughter the freedom to choose her own relationships! However—"

"The freedom to marry is something that cannot be given or taken away! I'm not trying to be a bad person, but this concerns the fate of our family. I don't want my husband to be sent to a special prison for the rest of his life because of this. You are a woman, and you are a mother too, I hope you understand."

Her eyes were resolute, her words ringing with conviction.

If she were being unreasonable and making a fuss, I could still argue back a few points.

But she stated things so firmly, leaving me speechless.

She has already made concessions— acquiescing to Lin Yanqin's emotional freedom.

Lin Yanqin's eyes reddened as she said, "Mom, you're being so rude!"

"Let it be considered rude, for this matter is of great importance. I'll play the old man card and act entitled just once!" Madam Lin took a deep breath.

“Miss Mu, we women also have the determination to protect our families, especially our children and husbands. You should understand this. I'll be straightforward: We can ignore Xiao Qin's relationship problems, as long as your brother doesn't harm her; but marriage is out of the question, don't even think about eloping, just stay within the country, somewhere we can't find you”

The statement is so clear that there is hardly any room for rebuttal.

Mrs. Lin stood up, her bearing elegant, and asked Lin Yanqin, "You said that young master Mu wasn't feeling well, how is he now"

I was taken aback, she actually cared about my brother

Lin Yanqin hastily replied, "He, he should be fine!"

Mrs. Lin smiled: "It's alright then..."

Huh

"Since he's fine now, you should come home with me obediently. In the future, be more careful with your words and actions! Don't give people a chance to gossip!" She grabbed Lin Yanqin's wrist and dragged her out without hesitation.

This, this old madam actually uses retreat as advance! Our cultivation is still too shallow!

Her attitude is so obvious!

Anyone who saw her would think she was a very understanding and tactful lady, while we younger generations seemed to lack the wisdom to navigate social situations and failed to understand the older generation's hardships.

"Wait!" I hurried after him two steps.

Mrs. Lin took Lin Yanqin's hand and turned around. Several men in black suits stood ready around them.

She had a delicate and refined makeup, raising her eyebrows to look at me: "Miss Mu, do you have anything else to say"

"Mrs. Lin, I know that in your eyes, our family background isn't very good, but, but—"

She chuckled lightly at me, waiting to hear my boasts.

I took a deep breath and said seriously, "But don't underestimate us just because we are young. We still have plenty of time to change your mind. I hope you'll give us a chance."

I'm speaking on behalf of my brother. He's currently performing an exorcism and star-averting ritual, so I have to represent him.

“Don't underestimate the poor” Madam Lin raised her lips: “The meaning of ‘poor’ is multifaceted. Wealth and material possessions are the most superficial. I know very well how your family accumulated its wealth, through shady dealings. In my view, no matter how much property you have, it still feels ‘poor’.”

Well...

This Madam Lin is really tough to deal with!

Of course, she's going to be the future First Lady! She's seen it all.

She pulled Lin Yanqin towards the mountain gate under the escort of bodyguards. Lin Yanqin turned her head and waved to me, which made my heart feel a little sour.

As they walked down the steps, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, my brother was running towards me.

"Little Qiao—" He laughed as he ran.

Laughter He can still laugh!

"Honey, do me a favor! Thank you!" He said as he zipped past me like the wind, giving my shoulder a pat.

What Ahhh

Hey brother, can you give me one more look

What can I do for you I haven't figured it out yet!

I quickly realized what was happening because my brother directly pushed away the two bodyguards and pulled Lin Yanqin towards his car!

My God! Are they really running away together! He wouldn't actually do something so stupid, would he!

Mrs. Lin's scream pierced the air, and I immediately summoned the little imp: "Quick, quick, quick! Bind those black-suited spirits! But don't kill them!"

"Ah!" The little ghost wailed, "Miss, are you testing my skills!"

"I'll drive you later! Stop talking!"

"Good, good, good! Watch this!"it completely dragged her own family into the situation."My mom said, 'If he borrowed money to buy a house or start a business, that's something we could discuss. But borrowing money to pay off debts,...
