Chapter 769: In laws are back
Chi Jia wanted to stop Fei Qinfan but it was already too late, the son of the Emperor had spoken what else can he do other than agree to take out the promised thousand taels? Though as Chi Jia was handing the silver notes to Lin Chen, his heart could not help but ache. That was all the savings that he had saved while trying to scrimp and save with the third prince"s extravagant leaving, now all of a sudden those savings were going to fly away from his hands!
If not for the fact that he was a special guard, he would have shed a tear or two while watching the silver notes being handed to Lin Chen who further handed it to Lin Rui.
" Please make sure to count the notes properly, Master Rui," even though his heart was bleeding Chi Jia still politely reminded Lin Rui with his usual blank expression.
" There is no need, I trust Master Chi," though Lin Rui said that he flipped through the notes that were handed to him and nodded to himself. " Then I will put them all away."
Chi Jia: "….."
He saw it, he definitely saw Lin Rui count the money just now. Though Chi Jia was slightly amused by the actions of the Lin family members he did not find them annoying in fact he only thought that they were a bit playful.
Su Wan handed the freshly bloomed flower to Fei Qinfan who picked it up like a child and then turned to walk inside the courtyard, he still needed to send this flower to the imperial palace and make his brother envious to death! If he was pa.s.sionate about flowers then it would be right to say that the crown prince was even more pa.s.sionate about flowers to the point that he will go crazy if he saw a flower that was rare and unique.
Fei Qinfan was sure that no one in the imperial palace might have seen a rose this good looking which was he returned to the courtyard that was left for him and clapped his hand after putting aside the flower pot onto the stone table, no sooner did he clap two men appeared out of thin air.
" Chi Wu, Chi Su, I want you to bring this flower to the imperial palace and hand it straight to my garden make sure to create a huge fanfare such that my brother will find out about this flower," Fei Qinfan could already imagine the dumb love struck expression on his brother"s face when his gaze will fall on this flower, just as Chi Su and Chi Wu were thinking that the third prince was thinking about the crown prince and wanted to hand this flower as an apology they heard their master add ruthlessly, " And make sure that the crown prince only sees this flower from far, far away …after all this was something a dumb man like me bought with his dumb money, we can"t have the crown prince become dumb as well."
Chi Wu, Chi Su : "...." Looks like the third prince was still holding a grudge.
However there was nothing they could say about it, they were guards who were loyal to the third prince and have to listen to him which was why they took the flower pot and vanished into thin air behind them they could still hear the shout of the third prince,
" Make sure not to harm even a single petal!"
…..
Su Wan naturally had no idea that Fei Qinfan actually bought a flower worth a thousand taels just to make his brother jealous, if she did then she would have definitely looked at him and asked whether or not he was an idiot.
But at this moment she did not have time to bother with Fei Qinfan, the date of departure was arriving closer and closer, and she needed to pack all the necessary things she needed to bring with her. She had already sent the girls that she brought to the Great ocean city and was now taking care of the last bit of work that was left.
While she was counting the savings that she had in her hands, the door of her room was pushed open and Lin Chen who was carrying a bundle of things walked inside and threw the bags on the floor, seeing this Su Wan was slightly surprised and asked, " What is this?"
" What else? Mother and Father are back, I brought their luggage with me and wanted to ask which courtyard should I take them to?" Lin Chen replied as he arched his back and took a sigh of relief but then he heard the sound of footsteps walking past him and was stunned when he saw that Su Wan had walked out of the room without saying anything.
Su Wan walked out of the room and was stunned to see her in-laws, her mother-in-law was smiling as she handed the candies that she had brought with her Qi Shuyan and the rest. Her mother-in-law had indeed changed a lot, now she was wearing a silky white robe with her hair tied in a bun as she smiled at the children, when Madam Lin sensed that someone was looking at her, she raised her head and looked at Su Wan.
" Wan Wan," Madam Lin had been exchanging letters with her sons and daughter in law, she of course knew that they will be leaving for another territory soon, the great ocean city was far from their small town and she was worried that the family will be separated for a long time.
After staying in the Buddhist temple, she finally erased the guilt from her heart and was willing to start over. In fact, she had been missing her sons a lot and when she heard that Su Wan was pregnant she wished nothing less than to come flying back but Madam Lin preserved and continued on her journey to calm her heart and mind and only then did she return home.
She knew that she could no longer stay as the mother-in-law who was as useful as a headless fly.
