Chapter 190 Return to the Capital
"Dad, Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
In his previous life, when the two elders learned that he was a prince, they were so excited that they could not express it in words. However, because he was in a hurry to return to the capital, he did not talk much with them.
Perhaps the two of them were afraid to approach me because they knew my identity.
"It's not an order, just a casual chat." Old man Xiao said with a smile.
"Your mother and I are very happy that you were able to find your biological parents."
"Yes, the knot in your heart should be untied."
"Dad, Mom, I don't have any knot in my heart. You raised me up. In my heart, you are my biological parents. I have never thought about looking for them." Xiao Lin said truthfully.
In his previous life, he also knew his identity by accident.
"Okay, we know you are a filial child, and your parents don't have much experience. When you arrive in the capital, you must be obedient and get along well with your family. If there is anything, discuss it with Shu Yue."
"I understand." Xiao Lin couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, a little sour, and a little sweet.
"You are the son of a wealthy family, but where are your mother and I..."
Xiao Lin knew that they would be like in their previous life again, and said that he didn't want to be a burden to him, "Shu Yue and I will be back soon."
"This kid, that's your home, take care of it for a few more days. We haven't seen you for so long, your family misses you."
"Mom, you forgot that Shuyue's villa is about to open."
Xiao Lin had no choice but to find this excuse.
Old Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment. That’s true.
If she had known this would happen, she might have persuaded Shu Yue not to open this villa.
It would be so nice for the young couple to live in Beijing.
The old couple were not good at speaking, and they just said the most simple words, but Xiao Lin listened very carefully and did not show any impatience.
The next morning, two carriages left Qinghe Village.
When Sun Yunying got up, she kept looking towards the Xiao family. She wanted to wait for Xiao Lin's rich mother to come out and chat with her.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the other person had already left.
It was just because she slept in, and mainly because the old man took some medicine that made her suffer all night long.
When Old Mrs. Xiao went out, she asked and found out that the person was gone.
"Gone? Will you come back?" Sun Yunying hated the old man to death. She didn't even see Mrs. Tao for the last time.
"Come back, Xiao Lin and Shu Yue said they would come back."
However, many people in the village thought that the old couple were too naive.
Instead of being a young master from a good family, he gave the job to his son.
The old couple didn't say much when they heard the gossip. They believed that if their son and daughter-in-law said they would come back, they would definitely come back.
When Jiang Liuyun heard someone say that his brother-in-law was ungrateful, he would rudely retort, "My brother-in-law is not that kind of person."
His brother-in-law is the best brother-in-law in the world.
During the journey of the group of four, Jiang Shuyue and Xiao Lin ate, drank and had a great time.
Jiang Shuyue had never been so happy in his previous life.
She also wanted to go to Jiangnan, go boating on the lake, look at the small bridges and flowing water, and feel the beauty of the mountains and rivers, but unfortunately Lu Mingzhan had never accompanied her there.
Even if she wanted to go, there were a lot of things waiting for her at home. Once, when she was away for just a few days, Lu Mingzhan offended someone. She spent a lot of time and effort, and faced a lot of contempt, before she could settle the matter.
Lu Mingzhan also said that she was making a fuss out of nothing, so maybe others didn't take it seriously.
But this life was different. Xiao Lin doted on her and would buy her toys that only children would eat.
"I'm not a child!" Jiang Shuyue frowned, but soon smiled.
"I'll make up for all the food you didn't eat when you were a child." Xiao Lin said.
Compared to the young couple's comfort, the Tao couple were unlucky.
We walked and defecated all the way, ate and lived together, but the illness never got better. I don't know how many medicines I took, but they were of no use at all.
However, they did not suspect Jiang Shuyue. After all, Jiang Shuyue had not even touched the food. Moreover, they did not believe that a country girl had the ability to poison someone.
Jiang Shuyue does manual labor and has a big appetite, but after eating and drinking all along the way, she didn't gain weight.
On the contrary, the Tao couple had lost a lot of weight, and their faces looked sallow. If they hadn't just had diarrhea, they would have thought they had some incurable disease.
At the city gate, Jiang Shuyue looked up at the towering city gate tower with mixed feelings.
At this moment, Xiao Lin held her hand, said nothing, but gave her firm strength.
The carriage slowly drove along the stone road in the capital. Jiang Shuyue opened the curtain and everything she saw seemed familiar yet strange.
In her previous life, she lived in the capital for several years. She just saw a few familiar shops and felt mixed emotions for a moment. However, she told herself that this life must not end as miserably as in her previous life.
The carriage in front stopped.
Tao Yide said weakly: "Here, this is our home."
Xiao Lin stopped the carriage and looked up at the plaque of Tao Mansion hanging above the vermilion gate.
When the servant saw the master and mistress coming back, he hurried to report it.
"Quick, that's the eldest young master and young mistress."
The servant was wondering why there were two more people. When he found out, he quickly bowed and led the horse over.
The Tao couple dared to recognize Xiao Lin because this kind of thing had happened before, and it was almost the same as they described.
But the eldest son of the Tao family died on the spot, and everyone saw his body.
But I think the couple should have already found an excuse to tell others.
It’s actually not that difficult to make a dead person look alive.
"Father, mother!"
A cute little girl flew into Mrs. Tao's arms like a butterfly. Because Mrs. Tao was weak, she almost knocked her down. Jiang Shuyue quickly helped her up and avoided embarrassing them.
The girl pouted her lips, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Jiang Shuyue in a haughty tone, "Who are you? Are you your new maid?"
Mrs. Tao glared at the girl and said, "Don't be rude. This is your sister-in-law."
Jiang Shuyue looked at the girl in front of him. Although she had not grown up yet and still had some baby fat on her face, from her expression and her outline, Jiang Shuyue recognized that she was the concubine of Prince Duan in his previous life, Tao Wanwan.
"Sister-in-law?" Tao Wanwan looked at Jiang Shuyue, then looked at Xiao Lin beside her, and then looked at Mrs. Tao with a hint of surprise, her eyes widened.
Mrs. Tao nodded at her. Although the mother and daughter did not speak, a very important message was conveyed.
Tao Wanwan curled her lips and said, "Why are they dressed so poorly? I would have thought they were from the countryside. Oh, by the way, I forgot, they are from the countryside."
"Wanwan!" Madam Tao raised her voice, then smiled and said to the two people behind her: "Lin'er, Shuyue, Wanwan is your sister, the youngest in the family, and I spoiled her rotten."
