The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 249 One step is wrong, every step is wrong

Lin Wenyue immediately stepped forward and bowed, and said very politely:

"Master Xu, you don't need to take care of me. Dad, I told you I can take care of myself. You should go back as soon as possible."

Lin Wenyue waved her hands and finally persuaded her father to let her come to Tongxu County. She didn't want to listen to her father's nagging anymore.

What's more, he is already so old, why does he need the county magistrate to take care of him?

Xu Huaiyuan had never expected that Lord Lin's son would not take the imperial examination but would study medicine. However, everyone has their own aspirations, and there is nothing wrong with studying medicine.

Lord Lin also let him do what he wanted and did not force him to take the imperial examination. He was an open-minded old father.

"Don't worry, Lord Lin. The young master is here. I will definitely send someone to protect him."

Anyway, now that the matter has been resolved, the officials in the county government finally have some free time, so it is not a problem to send one or two people to watch over Master Lin.

"No, no, I like to walk around alone. Sir Xu, the government office is so busy now, there is no need to send anyone to follow me. I can do it alone."

Lin Wenyue quickly refused.

If she sent someone to follow her, why would she come to Tongxu County?

"You little bastard, I mean well, just be honest and don't cause me any trouble."

Lin Jiancheng stared with helplessness on his face.

He still couldn't understand the child's thoughts.

This child was spoiled by him.

But what can I do? He’s my own child, so I should just spoil him as much as I can.

The magistrate of Tongxu County is a capable man and is still young. He thinks he has a bright future and may have great fortune in the future.

Moreover, the disaster in Tongxu County had just passed, and there was a lot of work to be done, which was the best way to test a person's ability.

Children can also learn a lot here.

Alas, what a pity......

Lin Jiancheng didn't say much, but Lin Wenyue was smiling.

"Dad, don't worry. I'm going to go downstairs to see what the sweet potato is. This is not only Mr. Xu's achievement, but also a good thing for Dad."

As the prefect, he also deserves credit for helping the counties below grow high-yield crops.

For example, reporting those farm tools to the imperial court also brought him honor.

"Speaking of this, Lord Xu, I won't say much else. You also know the importance of those sweet potatoes. I heard that they will be ripe in August. Please ask the Agriculture Department to take good care of the sweet potatoes and keep good records of the production. Once there is any news, report it immediately."

Lin Jiancheng was also getting impatient.

Calculating the time, this batch of sweet potatoes was planted when there was still drought, earlier than the autumn harvest crops, so it will be no problem for them to mature by the end of August, so there is less than a month left.

"Yes, sir, I understand."

Xu Huaiyuan answered honestly.

Lin Jiancheng finally left, leaving a guard for Lin Wenyue before leaving.

Lin Wenyue couldn't refuse, so she kept him for the time being.

"Be careful. Dad is risking his life to let you stay alone in Tongxu County. If your mother finds out, she will go crazy again."

Before leaving, Lin Jiancheng whispered something to Lin Wenyue.

"Dad, don't worry. I'm dressed like this, what can go wrong? Besides, you know that I'm good friends with Miss Ye Er. We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to go find her. You can finally rest assured."

Lin Wenyue blinked and called on Ye Jingxue to cover her.

"I think, Dad, you shouldn't be worried about me. You'd better think about how to confess to Mom. I remind you that for things like this, confessing will get you leniency. The longer you delay, the worse it will be..."

Speaking of this, Lin Wenyue also had some complaints.

In fact, she was a girl. Her mother was injured after giving birth to her and could not have children, so she became a little crazy, and her condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse.

Ever since she could remember, she felt that her mother was different from other mothers. She was always crazy. Her father said that her mother had lost her fertility and had suffered a trauma.

When her mother was crazy, she would scold her and ask why she was not a boy, and she would not be so miserable. She even asked her to live like a boy, dress herself like a boy, and beat her if she did not do well in her studies.

When my mother was not crazy, she would hug her and cry, feeling sorry for the injuries on her body.

When her mother was not crazy, she would ask her father to take a concubine, but she knew that she was definitely not sincere. If her father really took a concubine, she might go even crazier.

So my father didn't dare take a concubine, for fear of upsetting my mother.

Who would have thought that she discovered a few days ago that her father actually had a mistress outside!

But she went to ask around, and the neighbors all said that the woman had no husband and had never seen her husband. She asked her father, and he told her that he was drunk...

Unexpectedly, the woman came to the house pregnant. Her father had no way to accommodate her, so he moved her out, but never visited her. He only hired a maid to take care of the man and the child's daily life.

The child was only two years old, a boy.

When she learned about this, she was very conflicted. She felt that her father was not wrong and that he had suffered a lot over the years.

Dad has not taken a concubine for so many years and has taken good care of mom. He is already a very good man. If it were someone else, every prefect would have several concubines at home.

It would be nice to have a son.

She is a daughter, and the Lin family's bloodline cannot be cut off.

But she also felt that she was sorry for her mother by thinking this way.

She didn't know how to tell her mother or how she would react, so she just went out to relax.

After all, this matter is their own business.

"One wrong step leads to another. I should have confessed to your mother when it happened, but now that the child is born, I am even more afraid to tell your mother. You know your mother's madness, and I'm afraid she can't stand this kind of stimulation."

The atmosphere suddenly became dull.

"But if you don't tell me, how do you know what will happen to Mom? Dad, are you in love with that woman and want her to take Mom's place? Didn't you say that we should bring the child home and let Mom raise him? Maybe Mom will get better after having the child."

Lin Wenyue was still worried.

Lin Jiancheng shook his head:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am sincere to your mother. As for the one outside, I can't even remember what she looks like. I will tell your mother in the next few days. You should not go back yet. If your mother gets upset, she will beat and scold you."

Lin Jiancheng gets a headache whenever he thinks of this matter.

He had a successful career in these years, but he could not cure his wife's madness.

"Actually, I think if mom really doesn't know, there's nothing wrong with that. You guys should solve your own problems. I don't know what to do either. Dad, you can handle it yourself."

Lin Wenyue was also very conflicted. In fact, her feelings for her mother were not as deep as those for her father.

Because of having such a mother, she felt that she had never been truly happy.

But, that was her own mother, and she was innocent. She just got sick due to the stress, and she couldn't despise her.

Lin Jiancheng also felt sorry for his daughter and waved his hand:

"Okay, have fun for a few days. If there's any situation over there, I'll send someone to look for you. Be careful about your own safety."

Lin Wenyue watched her father's carriage go away and stopped there for a long time. Just now, she saw the white hair on her father's forehead and her eyes immediately turned red.

She never really received maternal love, but her father really gave her endless love.
