Chapter 90: Marry Him to Deal with It
However, he managed his expression very well, almost immediately concealing it, and looked up at Lin Lezheng again.
"It is only right that Your Highness said to remember my father-in-law's birthday. It would be a bit inappropriate if I couldn't come today."
"It's nothing. I just hope that Your Highness will treat Sisi well."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing glanced at Lin Rusi, who was sitting motionless to the side, and a fawning expression appeared on his face.
Knowing that this was the end, she sighed silently before moving closer once more.
“Father, Ye Qing.”
"Miss Shen, His Highness has prepared some gifts. Shall we send them directly to the storeroom?"
Upon hearing this, she suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but look at Lin Lezheng beside her.
The other party didn't understand what it meant, only thinking it might be some valuable gift, and wanted the butler to take everything away with them, when they heard the voice behind them.
"I wonder what exactly the Imperial Uncle has prepared, and why he's unwilling to bring it in and take a look?"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness, for my poor eyesight prevented me from seeing you."
Ye Qing bowed respectfully to Li Zeyan before looking at Lin Rusi again, as if she only listened to this future mistress.
Noticing this gaze, she couldn't help but frown and glance at her father standing beside her.
"Why don't we move in? After all, the prince's things are also stored there."
"Then I'll trouble you to help carry it inside, Ye."
Upon hearing the word "lift," Ye Qing paused again, then nodded to her, turned to the side, and, following the attendant behind him, said, "Move it inside."
Just when Li Zeyan thought there wouldn't be more than him, seven or eight servants carrying a wooden box the size of a person frowned.
"So much?"
Everyone stood there stunned, staring blankly at the large wooden crate, before finally breaking into a smile and curiously examining the overly expensive box.
"If I'm not mistaken, whose hand did the carvings on this box appear to be?"
"That's right. Look, there are inscriptions on the corner of the box. Such exquisite patterns cannot be carved by ordinary people."
"Old Wen has actually come out of seclusion again? How come I didn't hear about it?"
Lin Le was hearing about the so-called "Old Wen" when he looked at his colleague who had spoken up in confusion, but all he heard were countless sighs of emotion.
After finally learning the other party's identity, he was even more eager to send the box to a better place, fearing that even a tiny water stain would ruin the artwork.
Just as Lin Le was about to speak, Ye Qing, who was standing next to the box, suddenly opened it.
If Li Zeyan's preparations were glittering and precious, then Li Jingyang's preparations were completely different.
But no one dared to deny the value of those things, simply because they were all paintings, calligraphy, and porcelain.
"These need to be carefully preserved. I wonder if Lord Lin has a suitable place at his residence?"
“Of course there’s room.” Lin Lezheng’s voice trembled slightly, clearly provoked. “Someone, quickly put these things in the room and preserve them properly!”
Upon hearing this, the servant finally realized what was happening and cautiously approached, but dared not reach out for fear of damaging the item.
Ye Qing noticed their movements and calmly withdrew his gaze, looking at Lin Rusi, who was standing silently to the side.
The moment their eyes met, she knew there was more trouble than met the eye, and she frowned slightly.
"Since we're taking them all anyway, why don't we just put them all in the warehouse?"
Upon hearing Lin Rusi speak, the servants, without a second thought, reached out and picked up the things Li Zeyan had brought, continuing to carry the items that Li Jingyang had delivered.
Seeing this, Li Zeyan's already pale face turned even paler, and he gripped the wine glass in his hand so tightly that it made a cracking sound.
Hearing the voice from the side, Lin Ruqin turned her head and saw the other person's unpleasant expression, and her heart tightened.
Fortunately, he always seemed to sense other people's gazes and immediately resumed his original expression.
"As expected of the Imperial Uncle, the things he prepared are so well-prepared that no one dares to touch them. Why don't you trouble Ye Qing to put them away directly?"
"Ye Qing, obey my command."
Although she listened, the other person didn't say anything, but remained standing there looking at Lin Ruqin beside her.
What are they going to do now?
Lin Rusi was a little confused, so she walked to Lin Lezheng's side to make people mistakenly think that he was looking at her father.
Noticing his daughter's actions, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile once again.
"Is there anything else?"
"These are too valuable. His Highness instructed me to make sure that Lord Lin finds someone to handle them carefully, otherwise he will be unhappy if they are taken by someone with malicious intent."
Hearing that Li Jingyang would be unhappy, everyone instinctively felt a chill run down their spines and quickly looked at the father and daughter.
Although he was very concerned about his image and wanted to take the lead himself, the fact that Ye Qing was arranged this way showed that it was to create momentum for Lin Rusi, so he couldn't just speak up casually.
Lin Lezheng could only turn his head to look at his daughter in front of him, and gently push her forward a step.
"Since it was prepared by the Prince, it is naturally most appropriate for Sisi to be gentle."
"inappropriate."
Upon suddenly hearing Madam Lin's voice, Lin Le couldn't help but frown, but quickly composed himself.
She glanced at her mother beside her and then let out a sigh.
"Mother, this is the decision."
"No, I disagree. This should be kept by me, or at least by Si Yu. How can I let such a child keep it?"
Si Yu was suddenly called out by the old lady. She looked up at the father and daughter and then quickly walked to Lin Lezheng's side.
She glanced at the expression on his face, nodded, and turned to look at the old lady beside her.
“Mother, you often go to the mountains to burn incense and pray to Buddha, and sometimes you even stay at the temple for a while. If I entrust the calligraphy and paintings to you, it will be difficult to maintain them.”
"What do you mean?"
Si Yu seemed frightened by the stern voice, shrinking back towards Lin Lezheng and falling silent.
In this situation, he naturally had to speak up and pull the person behind him.
“Mother, Siyu is right. You are often away and don’t know the situation in the manor. Her health is also a bit weak. It’s fine to leave her in Sisi’s care.”
How could it be nothing? Wouldn't this just cause Lin Ruqin to completely lose power?
Before Madam Lin could make another move, Lin Lezheng had her maidservant restrain her.
"This was prepared by the Prince after all, and Sisi is the most suitable candidate. You must take good care of it."
“That’s right. Mother’s health has been deteriorating in recent years, so these things can only be taken care of by Sisi.”
After Si Yu finished speaking, she even pinched her thigh to make her face even paler, and slowly collapsed into Lin Lezheng's arms.
Seeing the two of them working together in a completely different way, Lin Rusi was at a loss, staring blankly at Ye Qing, not knowing what to say.
