Chapter 230 I Think You Will Need It
"Qu Yuanxun, I'm warning you, you'd better give up those feelings you have for Lin Lin. I won't agree to you two being together."
Qu Yuanxun knew that his mother would say this, but what was wrong with Lin Lin? Apart from her identity, she was perfect in every way.
"Mother, Lin Lin doesn't know what I'm thinking, but I..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Qu still had something she didn't understand, but she couldn't agree.
"It's best not to know. Don't provoke others. She is pitiful enough as it is. Besides, my daughter-in-law of the Qu family is going to bear children for you.
You know better than anyone why Lin Lin wants to divorce. We in the Qu family absolutely cannot take this risk, so you'd better give up on this idea."
Qu Yuanxun clenched his fists. He liked Lin Lin, the only woman he had fallen in love with in all these years since his late wife passed away.
If he must marry a wife in the future, it can only be Lin Lin, and he doesn't want children at all. His ex-wife died of childbirth complications.
He didn't want another woman to lose her life because of giving birth to children for their family. Lin Lin couldn't get pregnant, which was exactly what he wanted.
"If my mother were to find a woman from a famous family, who would be able to accept my lonely fate? If I can't even be with the person I like, then I would rather not marry.
Anyway, I've been through this for so many years, and I'm used to it. Mother, please have a good rest. I still have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Qu Yuanxun turned around and left, which made Mrs. Qu so angry that she slapped her chest.
"Qu Yuanxun, you...you...are you trying to piss me off to death?"
This was not the first time that Lin Lin had heard people talking about her, but when she returned home these past two days, it seemed that all the neighbors who had pointed fingers at her before had shut up.
There was also the woman who had previously said that she didn't know what she was doing, and she ran away when she saw her, and the same went for the men and children in her family.
It made her look like some kind of demon, and even looking at her was filled with fear.
As for why everyone suddenly became like this, she didn't care. Huayan launched a new product today, a hand cream.
Now it is autumn and the weather is dry, so hands need to be taken good care of. As usual, Lin Lin took out a portion and brought it to Mrs. Qu for use.
This time, he did not meet Madam Qu directly, but met Xiaoju first.
Xiaoju's face was solemn. Lin Lin had given her a lot of good things, and her heart was also with Lin Lin.
"Mrs. Lin, you came at the wrong time. The old lady and Mr. Qu just had a quarrel today. I'm here to report it first. If the old lady is not in the mood today, you can come next time."
in argument?
Although she didn't know the reason, Lin Lin still nodded and smiled at Xiaoju.
"it is good!"
Xiaoju went in for a while, this time it was a bit longer, but after she came out, she still talked to Lin Lin.
"Mrs. Lin, our old lady invites you in."
Xiaoju opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but then closed it again, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
This made Lin Lin frown, feeling that things were a little awkward between Madam Qu and Qu Yuanxun this time.
After entering, Mrs. Qu adjusted her attitude and still greeted Lin Lin with a smile.
"Lin Lin is here. Come sit down, Xiao Ju. Make Lin Lin a cup of fresh tea."
Lin Lin sat opposite Mrs. Qu and gave her the hand cream she had brought with her, along with the packaging.
"Madam, this is a hand cream we're going to release soon. It's autumn now, and it's very good at moisturizing our hands, preventing them from drying out and cracking, and it's also very soothing. I'm giving this to you."
Madam Qu took the hand cream with both hands. Although she was smiling, her eyes lacked the genuine joy of the past.
"The old lady doesn't like it, does she?"
Mrs. Qu shook her head and asked Xiaoju to put the hand cream away.
"No, I'm just in a bad mood, but having you come here to talk to me and let me vent my troubles, I feel much better."
Lin Lin guessed that Mrs. Qu was like this because of what Xiaoju mentioned, that she had quarreled with Qu Yuanxun.
"Lin Lin, do you know what? Yuanxun has been acting crazy lately and has captured all the families of the surrounding people, young and old.
Alas... they didn't commit any crime, but they arrested the whole family and asked people to teach them how to read and behave. They also asked them to learn how to behave in the county government for a few days and improve their self-cultivation.
Look at what he did. Although it is hateful for those women in the market to criticize others, it is not necessary for him, a county magistrate, to take care of it.
If this gets to the capital, he won't be promoted anymore. Do you think I'd be mad? There are so many people gossiping about him, is he going to have to deal with every one of them?"
Lin Lin's heart trembled. The person Qu Yuanxun arrested was the one who criticized her that day?
She was not stupid. Seeing the reactions of those families today and the way the neighbors around her were avoiding her, she knew everything without having to guess.
His thoughts were complicated, and since Madam Qu knew everything so comprehensively, she probably knew that Qu Yuanxun had arrested those people for her.
Saying these words now is also meant to remind her.
"Madam, please take care of your health. After all, Lord Qu has been very helpful to me and my sister. He is like an older brother to us.
If the old lady could find a sister-in-law for my brother, she would definitely be able to supervise him well."
During the conversation, both of them understood what the other meant, and Mrs. Qu was very satisfied with Lin Lin's understanding.
As long as Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun don't continue their relationship, she still likes Lin Lin very much.
"I think you're right. I should probably find someone for him. Not only does she have to be of the same age and appearance, but she also has to be from the same background. It's going to be difficult!"
This was telling Lin Lin that only women of status could be with Qu Yuanxun, and that she should not have anything to do with Qu Yuanxun.
Lin Lin understood, but why did she feel a little heartbroken? She clearly had never had any thoughts about Qu Yuanxun.
The two of them lived in peace, and she was very grateful for his care for her.
She had no idea what Mrs. Qu said later. When she returned to the courtyard, she was as usual, with no sign of any emotional change.
Come back and water the flowers in the yard, tidy up your house, and sort out the things that Hua Yan needs to deal with.
When he met Qu Yuanxun again, he bought another piano score, saying that he wanted to give it to Lin Lin, but this time he was turned away.
Qu Yuanxun didn't believe it. After finishing his business, he waited outside Huayan's workshop. No matter how late it was, he believed that Lin Lin would always go home.
Sure enough, Lin Lin and others came to report that Qu Yuanxun was still waiting for her at the gate. It was already very late, and Lin Lin knew that she could not escape.
It would be better to just come out and talk to him clearly.
The moment he saw Lin Lin coming out, Qu Yuanxun quickly walked to the door with a forced smile on his face.
"Linlin, look, this is a guqin score. I asked a friend to find it for me. I thought you might need it..."
"I do not need!"
