Chapter 723 - 082 Liu Mei_4
"Ouch, mom, are you still my real mother? It hurts! Go ahead, twist it, twist my ear off, then I definitely won’t be able to get married!"
Amid the squabbling of Lady Fan and Liu Limin, Lady Liu and a few others boarded the carriage to head home. Since it was the New Year, daughters and sons-in-law who were married could not stay overnight at their maternal home, otherwise, they surely would have stayed in Liu Family Village for a few more days.
Just before getting on the carriage, Liu Zhiyang suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan’s arm and whispered a few words in her ear.
Lin Yuan was startled and instinctively glanced at Lin Jiaxin, nodded her head, and instructed Liu Zhiyang to study hard with a few more admonishing words.
Lin Yi drove the carriage very quickly; there was still Lao Fan at home to take care of, and, with no one being at home that entire day, he worried whether the old man had eaten his meals properly. It would be troublesome if he had been too lazy to even know to eat.
At the same moment, far away in the Capital city, Xia Zheng lived his life amidst endless boredom. Since the end of the year, the General Mansion had received invitation cards from various families. If he wasn’t attending a banquet at one house, he was at a gathering at another, and while he had always disliked such events, now his impatience grew as his heart was preoccupied with thoughts of a certain someone.
But there was no helping it, he put off as many banquets as he could; after all, the Xia family held an extraordinary position within the Imperial Court, and generally, there would be no murmur of discontent from aristocratic families they were not particularly close with. But still, there were some banquets that were unavoidable, such as those hosted by the Su Mansion.
