Chapter 244 I bet he doesn’t dare to act rashly!
Finally, Li Shu stopped looking at the portraits and frowned slightly as she said to the Queen, "The young men Her Majesty has chosen for me are all exceptional in both family background and appearance. I'm having a hard time deciding. Could you please allow me to take these portraits home and take a closer look before making a decision? Besides, I just got divorced and haven't fully gotten over my previous relationship. I'm afraid I'll regret it later if I make a hasty decision."
"Of course, you can also ask Fei'er and Yunchu to give you a look."
"Thank you, Queen. I will find a sunny day and invite Fei'er and the Crown Princess to my house so they can take a good look at it for me."
"Well, go ahead. I've been unconscious for so many days and I'm not very energetic right now. I won't keep you here for long."
"Yes."
After Li Shu finished speaking, she stood up and bowed respectfully to the queen before quickly leaving.
After leaving Fengyi Palace and getting into the carriage, Li Shu spread out the portraits one by one and examined them carefully, prompting Lin Yuan to ask, "Young lady, do you really want to choose a new son-in-law from among these people?"
Li Shu glanced at him and asked maliciously, "If I say yes, will you help me judge it?"
Lin Yuan's handsome sword-like eyebrows knitted tightly together. "I am not very good at judging, so I dare not judge for you, young lady."
Li Shu's mouth corners rose slightly.
He himself may not realize that whenever he gets a little upset, he will turn himself back into a subordinate.
He then continued, "However, in my opinion, these people are no match for the old son-in-law, whether in appearance or family background. They are not good candidates for the new son-in-law."
"Well, he's not even as good as Ning Jin, let alone you. If I had to choose a new husband from among these strangers, I might as well just choose you."
"..."
Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up like stars.
Li Shu's heartbeat quickened slightly, but she blurted out, "Do you care about your background?"
Lin Yuan was a little puzzled as to why the topic suddenly turned to his life experience, but he answered truthfully, "I didn't care at all before. No matter what my life experience was, I was still myself, and I had almost no memories before I met Sanniang. But after learning that my life experience was related to the current emperor, I began to pay some attention. I wanted to know who my parents were, what kind of hatred they had with the current emperor, and whether it would cause trouble for the young lady and our building."
Li Shu frowned and looked at him, and finally lost interest in looking at the portraits.
After returning to the mansion, Li Shu got off the carriage and immediately asked Aunt Gui who came to greet her at the mansion gate, "How will the weather be over the next few days?"
Aunt Gui thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it's always sunny."
"Then get ready. I'm going to invite the Crown Princess and Fei'er to visit my house the day after tomorrow."
"Yes."
After Nanny Gui responded, Li Shu entered the mansion and turned to Lin Yuan, whose eyebrows were furrowed, and said, "These portraits that the Empress gave me are very meaningful."
Lin Yuan's mood improved instantly.
So the lady looked at those portraits so carefully and over and over again, was it because there were mysteries hidden in those portraits?
So the queen who woke up this time...
Before he could think about it, Li Shu said, "Sanniang should be waiting in my room right now. You should go to my room too. I want to tell you about your life story."
"Miss, do you already know my background?"
"Well, after listening to my grandmother's recounting of those past events, a very bold and unfounded guess emerged in my mind. To prove it, I brought you into the palace openly and even asked Sanniang to do something for me without your knowledge."
"..."
Lin Yuan frowned but didn't ask any questions.
He followed Li Shu silently to her room.
As expected, Kong Sanniang was waiting in Li Shu's room.
Seeing the expression on Lin Yuan's face, she blurted out, "Has the young lady told Yuan'er yet?"
Li Shu shook her head, "It just mentioned that I already knew his background."
"That's it."
After Kong Sanniang finished speaking, Li Shu sat down and poured her a cup of tea.
Just as she was about to put down the teapot, she saw Lin Yuan pick up a cup and push it in front of her.
One of them couldn't help but blurt out, "You have no sense at all, and you still want to be the young lady's male favorite! From now on, as soon as the young lady sits down, you must quickly pour tea for her!"
Despite this, she still poured him the tea.
Lin Yuan drank the tea without changing his expression, and then said, "Sanniang, if you also consider me as a potential husband for your young lady, I will not be so blind."
have to.
He was still angry that she hadn't mentioned the alternative husbands to him.
Kong Sanniang almost wanted to use the teapot to open a scoop for him.
I finally endured it when I realized the teapot in front of me was quite expensive.
Then she heard Li Shu say, "When grandma told me those old stories that day, Lin Yuan was there, so you don't know, Sanniang, that the chivalrous couple I asked you to investigate were the son, daughter-in-law, and grandson of the eldest prince of the late emperor."
Kong Sanniang was shocked for a long time before she lowered her voice and asked, "So Yuan'er is of royal blood?"
Even Lin Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard the words "royal bloodline".
But what followed was joy and happiness.
It's not that she's excited about his wealthy family, but that he's worthy of the lady.
Although he knew very well that if the lady liked him, she would not mind his background.
In response to Kong Sanniang's question, Li Shu said "hmm" and told her everything Yin Wanyu said that day. Then she said, "If, as grandma guessed, the death of the chivalrous couple was caused by the emperor, then the emperor would definitely have someone find their child.
The Yellow River is dangerous. After that child… Lin Yuan’s father fell into it, he might have been washed far away. As a result, the emperor’s people didn’t find him until Lin Yuan was born. But they might have found him but didn’t capture him. They only captured Lin Yuan and his mother. That’s why Lin Yuan had a vague memory of living in the stone chamber with his mother.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan felt familiar with the abandoned palace in the palace that had a fire late at night. It was very likely that they were imprisoned in the stone chamber in that palace. And since the Emperor saw Lin Yuan through the surveillance camera in Fengyi Palace and ordered the abandoned palace to be burned down that night, it seems that before that, the Emperor didn't know that Lin Yuan was still alive. So when I entered the palace that day, I brought Lin Yuan with me openly, wanting to confirm whether the Emperor would take action against Lin Yuan..."
Hearing this, Kong Sanniang blurted out, "Young lady, this is too risky! No matter how skilled Yuan'er is, there will always be times when he is outnumbered. If the Emperor had made a move in Fengyi Palace that day, Yuan'er might not have been able to protect Young lady!"
In response, Li Shu said, "Of course I'm not acting rashly without any basis. I'm betting that the Emperor wouldn't dare to rashly attack Lin Yuan!"
