Madam Gong hurriedly returned to the Lin residence and went to Lin Zexu’s study with a glowing face. Lin Zexu looked at Madam Gong’s glowing face and stood up excitedly. “Wanru, did you find out?”
Madam Gong said happily to Lin Zexu, “Master, guess whose children they
Lin Zexu didn’t want to guess at all. He looked at Madam Gong anxiously. “Aiya! Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly.”
Madam Gong told Lin Zexu what Li Yu had said. Lin Zexu looked at Madam Gong in a daze. Madam Gong looked at him awkvvardly. “To be honest, when I saw her, I thought she was Aunt’s child who had wandered outside. After asking, I found out that they were Jinniang’s children. Master, how did
Jinniang disappear back then…”
Before Madam Gong could finish speaking, she saw Lin Zexu run out.
Lin Zexu ran to the entrance of the Zhou family’s house straight away. For some reason, he stopped again. The doorman looked at Lin Zexu strangely. This Master Lin had rushed over, but why didn’t he enter?
Lin Zexu stood at the door for a while before saying to the doorman, “Tell your Madam that the head of the Lin family in Qingzhou, Lin Zexu, wants to see her. ”
The doorman glanced at him and came out after a while to say to him, “Sir Lin, please.”
Lin Zexu looked at the woman standing at the entrance of the reception hall and knew that she was Jinniang’s child. Tears flowed down his face uncontrollably. It was great that Jinniang was still here.
Then he muttered to himself, “Why didn’t Jinniang go to Yunzhou to look for me back then? Where has she been all these years? What happened back then?”
Li Yu looked at Lin Zexu, who was standing there and looking at her with tears in his eyes. She felt that Lin Zexu was not on the same side as Madam Lin of Yunzhou, but why was he deceived by Madam Lin? Instead of searching for his missing sister, he left a weak woman in a hurry.
Lin Zexu looked at Li Yu for a while and asked in a trembling voice, “Where is
Jinniang now? I want to see her.”
Li Yu glanced at him and said softly, “My mother is no longer around.”
Lin Zexu never expected Jinniang to be no longer alive. When he heard Li Yu’s words, he swayed as if he had been struck by lightning and fell to the ground. Li Yu walked up to him worriedly. “Are you alright?”
Lin Zexu shook his head and looked at Li Yu sadly. “When did this happen? Why didn’t she look for us? She knew that we went to Yunzhou.’
Li Yu looked at him with pity. “She’s been gone for more than ten years. I don’t know why she didn’t look for you. After my father saved Mother from the mountain stream, Mother only said one thing when she woke up. Why did you treat me like this? Ever since then, Mother hasn’t mentioned her background. Why did she fall into the mountain stream? Where’s her family? Recently, I found out the reason why my mother disappeared and fell into the mountain stream.”
Lin Zexu got up and looked at Li Yu. “You found out the reason? What’s the reason? Could it be Yuchang…”
Li Yu nodded. “Just as Scholar Lin guessed, I heard that the Wang family has also arrived in the capital. You can also go to the Wang family and ask Old Madam Wang. She knows everything.”
Lin Zexu shook his head. “There’s no need to ask around. I believe you. Where is your father from? What does he do? Where is he? Can I see him?” Lin Zexu looked at Li Yu and asked.
“My father is a hunter. After saving my mother, he settled down in West Mountain Village. He’s not around anymore.”
Lin Zexu looked at Li Yu and thought to himself that the two children lost their parents at such a young age. He wondered how much hardship they suffered to have their current achievements.
Lin Zexu looked at Li Yu lovingly and touched his body to give her a greeting gift. Only then did he realize that he was still wearing casual clothes at home. He looked at Li Yu and said guiltily, “I came in a hurry today and didn’t even bring you a greeting gift. I’ll come back and acknowledge you after I’ve gone home and prepared. I wonder if you can forgive me and acknowledge me as your uncle.”
Li Yu looked at his guilty gaze and lowered her head. Lin Zexu looked at this child who looked 80 to 90% like his sister worriedly, afraid that she would reject him.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yu looked up at him and said, “Can you wait for me to discuss it with Ah Qing before replying?
“Okay, okay.” Seeing that Li Yu was willing to discuss it with Li Qing, Lin Zexu rubbed his hands happily. “I’ll go back and change my clothes first. I’ll come back when Ah Qing comes back.”
Li Yu looked at Lin Zexu, who had turned around and left excitedly, and thought to herself that It seemed that he really wanted to acknowledge them.
At this moment, Gu Yu walked in with a gentle-looking old woman wearing light blue armor and a simple white jade hairpin. The old woman put down the small bag in her hand and went forward to bend her knees. “Greetings, Madam. My surname is Yang. I was sent by the empress dowager to teach Madam etiquette.”
Li Yu looked at Granny Yang and smiled. “Thank you, Granny Yang.”
Granny Yang bent her knees and bowed. “Madam, you’re too polite. It’s my duty. When do you want to start learning?”
Li Yu looked at her natural and smooth movements when she bowed and felt that they were much better than those of Gu Yu and the others. She smiled slightly. “Granny Yang, there’s no need to be so polite. Go and rest for a while before we start.”
Granny Yang also smiled and said, “When I came, Eunuch Zheng told me what the empress dowager said. He said that you’re not feeling well and asked me to teach you a few times. You can figure it yourself afterward.”
Li Yu bowed and said, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”
Granny Yang looked at the straightforward Li Yu and thought to herself that
Old Zheng was right when he said that Madam Li was easy to get along with. She was not like other official madams from small places who pretend to be polite.
Li Yu felt that after she got pregnant, she would be more tired. She asked Gu Yu to bring Granny Yang to the west wing to stay. She returned to the room to rest for a while before going to learn etiquette from Granny Yang.
Li Yu looked at Granny Yang’s smooth movements and clapped her hands with a smile. “Nanny’s movements are as beautiful as a dance.”
After Granny Yang was done, she smiled at Li Yu. “Madam, I entered the palace at the age of six. I’m already 52 years old this year. These movements are already engraved in my bones. Madam, I’ll do it a few times.”
“Alright.” Li Yu watched her every move quietly and played it over and over in her mind. After Granny Yang stopped, Li Yu did it for her to see. Granny Yang smiled and nodded. “Madam is very perceptive. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to enter the palace in two days.”
“Nanny taught me well.” Li Yu watched as Granny Yang did it a few times before Ji Xiang returned from the street. He said to Li Yu, “Madam, the jewelry will take two days to clean. There are a few shops in the capital with good materials. One is Splendid House, and the other is Beautiful Robes Garden. The prices of these shops are about the same. They all say that Splendid House’s workmanship is better.”
“Alright, have you found out how many betrothal gifts are needed to get married in the capital?”
“I haven’t asked about that yet. I’ll ask again.”
Li Yu suddenly thought of Granny Yang, who had come from the palace, and thought that she should know such etiquette better. She said to Ji Xiang, “Go and make up for the lack of things and people in the courtyard over there first.
The palace has sent an instructor nanny over. She should know the etiquette.
I’ll ask Granny Yang.”
“Yes, Madam.” Ji Xiang bowed and left..
