Chapter 238 Seeking a Peaceful Amulet
Chapter 238 Seeking a Peaceful Amulet
"I'm furious, but not as dangerous as last time."
After saying this, Wan Weiran pushed Qu Yuanxun away with a helpless look on his face.
"I just don't understand. Didn't Auntie ask you to get married? You're older than me, so why not just marry one? Why bother arguing with her every day? Auntie's illness is caused by you."
Wan Weiran felt that marriage itself was decided by parents and matchmakers, so there was nothing to be fussy about. In the future, he could just marry whoever his father wanted him to marry, and it would be fine if they could treat each other with respect all their lives.
That being said, Wan Weiran has yet to meet the woman who makes him fall in love or has deep feelings for her.
"Wei Ran, if you have a woman you really like in the future, but your family is unwilling to accept her and asks you to marry someone else, what will you do?"
this?
Wan Weiran had never thought about it, and for so many years, he had only been interested in medical skills and had never thought about love between men and women.
"I...I don't know. I'll probably just listen to my parents. I don't know what it feels like to love someone."
The two men walked to the stone table in the middle of the yard and sat down. Qu Yuanxun's questions to him were in vain.
"That's just because you haven't met her yet. If you do meet her, you'll only want to be with her for the rest of your life. If you change to someone else, you'll never be happy and will regret it for the rest of your life."
The more Wan Weiran listened to this, the more he felt something was wrong. Although he had not yet met a woman he was obsessed with, he had heard of some.
Qu Yuanxun's reaction and words, could it be that he has met the person he wants to marry, and Aunt Qu does not agree?
"I see, Qu Yuanxun, let me tell you, do you have someone you like? Is she in Wenzhu County? Who is she?"
Qu Yuanxun looked at the teapot on the table. Lin Lin hadn't given him any response, so now he was unilaterally confronting his mother.
Only if his mother agrees and accepts it, will Lin Lin be able to be with him. Otherwise, Lin Lin herself will not be able to let go of the grudge that she cannot have children.
"She...is Lin Lin."
"what?"
When Wan Weiran heard the name, his head buzzed and he screamed instantly, thinking he had heard it wrong.
"Qu Yuanxun, you are crazy. Do you know what you are talking about?"
Qu Yuanxun pulled Wan Weiran back down and sat him down: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Sit down."
Wan Weiran still couldn't believe it and confirmed again: "Qu Yuanxun, are you serious about Lin Lin?"
They have all witnessed Lin Lin's past and present. They know everything about her, including what she was like before and what she is like now.
But the way Wan Weiran looked at Qu Yuanxun didn't seem like he was joking at all.
"I'm serious, but she might not be as important to me as her career."
Lin Lin was now calm and resolute. Even Wan Weiran was no match for her. Besides, wasn't she infertile? No wonder Aunt Qu was so angry that she fell ill.
"Okay, okay, I don't understand the relationship between you two. As a wife, Lin Lin is still a good choice, but you have to think it over carefully. Anyway, as long as you like her, that's fine."
When Wan Weiran first learned this, he was shocked.
If Qu Yuanxun hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't believe that Qu Yuanxun would fall in love with Lin Lin one day, even if he killed him. They were completely on different levels.
After Wan Weiran left, Qu Yuanxun personally took care of Old Madam Qu and even fed her the medicine with his own hands.
After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Qu finally woke up. The two looked at each other, one of them did not stop taking the medicine in her hand, while the other drank the medicine without saying a word.
After finishing a bowl, Mrs. Qu spoke again.
"Yuanxun, let's both take a step back. The temple fair will be held in two days. You go meet Miss Zhuang. After this, if you still don't see eye to eye, I will leave you alone, okay?"
Qu Yuanxun lowered his head, wiped the remaining medicine soup from the corner of Madam Qu's mouth with a handkerchief, and said.
"You said the same thing last time."
Yes, she said that last time, but if Qu Yuanxun didn't go to see her, he would always be obsessed with Lin Lin, which was something she didn't want to see.
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as Madam Qu coughed, Qu Yuanxun immediately helped her up and soothed her back with one hand.
"Mother, don't be anxious. If you want me to go, I will go, but I don't want anyone else in this life except Lin Lin.
Even if she doesn't want to be with me, I'll serve you all my life. When I return to Beijing one day, I'll adopt a child from my uncle's family to play with you, okay?"
Old Madam Qu didn't say anything. Anyway, she didn't agree with what Qu Yuanxun did to Lin Lin.
Seeing that Madam Qu was silent and had her eyes closed, Qu Yuanxun covered her with a quilt and stood up to say goodbye.
"Then have a good rest, mother. I'm going to go to work."
Xiaoju looked at Qu Yuanxun, then at Old Madam Qu. She could do nothing but sigh.
Madam Lin is a very good woman. The old lady likes her and she likes her too. If Madam Lin can give birth to a child, I'm afraid Madam Qu will not be so opposed to it.
This will hurt their mother-son relationship so much.
Two days later, Lin Lin was called to the county government office, saying that Madam Qu had something urgent to discuss with her, but after she arrived, she never saw Madam Qu.
"Mrs. Lin, thank you for making this trip. Our old lady is not feeling well and would like you to go to the temple in Chengxia Village to get a peace amulet for her."
Asking for a peace amulet? But why did Lin Ting go there?
Xiaoju gave Mrs. Qu's personal handkerchief to Lin Lin. To pray for someone's safety and happiness, one must bring someone else's personal belongings to pray for it to be effective.
"Mrs. Lin, if... if it's inconvenient for you..."
Xiaoju really wanted to tell Linlin that it was just the old lady's idea that Lord Qu and others were at the temple fair, and she hoped that she would not misunderstand.
But then I thought again, Lin Lin never seemed to bother the adults in their family, so forget it.
"Xiaoju, what do you want to say?"
Xiaoju shook her head: "No...nothing, I just wanted to say that Madam Lin is so busy every day, if it's inconvenient, please go and come back quickly."
"Okay!" Lin Lin agreed with a smile.
Chengxia Village is located on the outskirts of the city. I heard that there is a temple fair there today. Xiaoju probably just wanted to remind her.
Lin Lin hired a coachman to drive her carriage, and she sat inside. Although the road in the suburbs was bumpy, it did not affect her reading the account book.
When they arrived at Chengxia Village, it was too noisy outside. Lin Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so she lifted a corner of the car curtain to see that the temple fair outside was quite lively.
There were people coming and going outside, and many of them were selling rice cakes and various snacks. Lin Lin asked the driver to park the carriage directly under the temple. She got off and walked up to pray for peace and blessings.
There were a lot of people today, and Lin Lin had to queue for a long time before she got this amulet.
Since he was at the temple, Lin Lin also put ten taels of silver into the merit box in the hope of success in his career.
"This lady has done great deeds. I see that you are in a bad mood and may have had relationship problems recently. Today is the temple fair. She is donating money to support the temple's repairs. I will give you a fortune."
