Chapter 218 Because of Me
The Lin Family Fort is truly a top wealthy family. Not only are the courtyards deep and secluded, but there are also beautiful scenery everywhere.

The majestic landscape of the garden, against the tall buildings, even the sky and the distant mountains, all set off a majestic style.

Lin Tiannan brought Li Fei and the three into the side hall, and immediately there were many pretty maidservants washing their hands and serving tea, and displaying delicacies, wine and delicacies.

After serving the table, Lin Tiannan warmly greeted Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger for drinks and food, but intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't bring Li Fei with him.

This seemed to put Li Fei in the position of the host, and Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger were the guests.

Lin Tiannan was an experienced man, after a few glasses of wine, Li Fei and Li Xiaoyao had already become good nephews, and they also called Lin Tiannan uncles.

After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, Lin Tiannan unknowingly brought the topic into the main topic.

He smiled at Li Fei and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't know where my nephew's family lives, and how many people are there in the family?"

Li Fei put down his wine glass, and said calmly: "My nephew's ancestral home is Wuling County. Both of his parents died when he was young, and he was brought up by the master alone."

Lin Tiannan was overjoyed that he was an orphan.

Good Orphan!In this way, there will be less resistance to entering the Lin family.

He continued: "Nephew, at such a young age, your cultivation is already unfathomable, so you must have an extraordinary background as a teacher, right?"

Li Fei said: "This uncle guessed wrong. The family teacher is an overseas loose cultivator, who has no family or sect. A few years ago, the family teacher went to become a fairy, and my nephew became the only successor of the family teacher."

Lin Tiannan remained calm on the face, but he was already happy in his heart, and he was still carefree. This is really a godsend son-in-law.

"Your master has a good student like you, and it is enough to comfort him for the rest of his life."

After saying this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Although the martial arts handed down from my Lin family may not be as good as yours, my nephew still has to learn."

Li Fei hesitated and said, "Learn the Lin family's martial arts?"

Lin Tiannan smiled and said: "You are the son-in-law of my Lin family, so of course you must inherit my Lin family's unique skills."

"Three generations of my Lin family are single-handed, and in my generation, there is only one daughter, Ru'er."

"Ru'er has been arrogant and arrogant since she was a child, and she doesn't let her bearded. Sometimes I suddenly think she is a son, hahaha..."

Lin Tiannan laughed for a while, then sighed: "Well, no matter if it is a son or a daughter, she is going to start a family."

"In order not to ruin my reputation in Linjiabao, I also followed her wishes and found a young man with stronger martial arts than her."

"As long as I have a good character, I will never hide my secrets. Not only will I betroth Ru'er to him, but I will also pass on my martial arts and family fortune to him."

"Nephew, with your cultivation level, you may look down on the martial arts passed down by my Lin family, but this is also passed down from the ancestors, and I must not let it break the inheritance in my hands."

"Nephew, even if you are not interested, you have to complete all of it. When you and Ru'er have an heir in the future, pass it on to your heir and inherit it."

After listening to Lin Tiannan's words, Li Fei scratched his cheeks, and said a little helplessly: "Since that's the case, then let the eldest lady practice hard, and then pass it on to her heirs?"

Lin Tiannan murmured after hearing the words: "Well... what you said is also reasonable. If that's the case, then you should marry Ru'er as soon as possible and give birth to an heir earlier."

"Before the old man is too old to move, he can also teach himself, so that he can share some of the burden for you."

Lin Tiannan spoke with a serious face, but in his heart he was already overjoyed.

What he just said was a temptation in itself.

Because Li Fei didn't take the initiative to sign up for the martial arts contest to recruit relatives, but was coaxed by him to invite him into the mansion, and he was never given a chance to refuse.

I watched him speak a few times before, and there were signs of evasion.

So what he said was not only to test Li Fei's thoughts on this matter, but also to test his attitude towards Lin Yueru.

But now it seems that he does not resist marrying Ru'er, then everything will be fine.

"Wait a minute, Shibo, how can Yueru marry him?"

At this moment, a soft drink came from outside the door, and Liu Jinyuan walked into the hall with a serious expression.

Lin Tiannan's face darkened, and he asked back, "Why not?"

There was a look of grievance in Liu Jinyuan's eyes, and he said: "You know that I don't know martial arts, but you use martial arts to decide Yueru's marriage. This is clearly embarrassing me."

"Yue and I are like childhood sweethearts, we have a deep relationship, why Shi Bo just refuses to marry him?"

Lin Tiannan said eloquently: "Since it is a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, the winner of the ring has already been divided..."

Liu Jinyuan didn't care about etiquette at this time, and directly interrupted Lin Tiannan's words: "No, this doesn't count, how can Yueru's lifelong affairs be so hasty?"

Lin Tiannan said stunned: "Shut up, Yueru is my daughter, what right do you have to object to this matter?"

"I..." Liu Jinyuan's rather handsome face flushed red, but he knew that he could never compete with Lin Tiannan in this respect, so he could only say, "Please assign Yue Ruxu to me, and I will call me tomorrow." Father sent someone to come to propose marriage."

Lin Tiannan stared at Liu Jinyuan, and said in a deep voice: "If Yueru is willing to marry you, I have nothing to say, but Yueru doesn't like you at all."

"What's more, you are a scholar, how can you inherit my position as the leader of Nanwulin?"

"I...I..." Liu Jinyuan's face was pale and he was speechless.

In fact, he also knew that Lin Yueru didn't like his appearance of being powerless, and always laughed at his lack of masculinity.

However, in Liu Jinyuan's heart, using a knife and a gun to show off a moment's courage is not considered a man of courage.

The real spirit is to strategize, win thousands of miles, and stabilize the country.

But Lin Tiannan's sentence "Yue Ru doesn't like you at all", became the last critical blow that crushed him.

Liu Jinyuan lowered his head dejectedly, and said in a shy voice: "I understand, brother Li, I wish you and Yueru, Shi Bo, please bid farewell to Yueru for me, I will return to the capital now."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, then turned and left, leaving a lonely back for everyone.

Lin Tiannan sighed, then looked at Li Fei and said, "That's it, nephew Li Xian, I hope you can marry into our Lin family, so that you can inherit my Lin family's business."

Li Fei pondered for a moment, then said to Lin Tiannan seriously: "Uncle, Missy is beautiful, rare in the world."

"She looks fierce, but she is actually kind-hearted, with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, these little nephews can see it."

"It must be a lie to say that you don't like the eldest lady. Being able to marry the eldest lady is a blessing in the next three lives."

Hearing Li Fei's words, Lin Tiannan was very satisfied, with a look of relief in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Say your 'but'!"

Naturally, he couldn't fail to understand that what Li Fei said was only the first half, and there must be a turning point later.

Li Fei smiled coyly, and said: "But my nephew promised Ling'er to escort her back to Miaojiang to find her mother, a man is a man, a promise is worth a lot, how can you break your promise?"

"This place is thousands of miles away from Miaojiang, and there is still an unknown force watching. If it wants to harm Ling'er, my nephew is really worried about the two of them."

"So my nephew would like to ask my uncle to give me some time to escort Ling'er back to the southern border. Everything will be settled. My nephew will definitely come back to marry the eldest lady and take on the due responsibilities."

"Brother..." After hearing Li Fei's words, Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao were extremely moved, their eyes flushed.

Lin Tiannan looked at Li Fei with even more admiration, and he valued him even more in his heart.

At the moment, he said in a reasonable manner: "My nephew is affectionate and righteous, and he keeps his promise. This is a good thing. Having a son-in-law like this is the blessing of the Lin family and the blessing of the moon. How can I stop you?"

Li Fei said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle, for making this happen."

Lin Tiannan said: "Although I will not stop you from traveling westward, since you have come to the mansion, you have to stay for two days no matter what, let me do my best as a landlord."

"Yueru has always had her eyes higher than the top, but judging by her demeanor when she left, it is clear that she has fallen in love with you."

"You two have only met each other so far, so just take this opportunity to get to know each other better. I believe Ling'er doesn't mind delaying for two days, right?"

Zhao Ling'er nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, and said with a smile like a flower: "It's okay, it just so happens that we can get acquainted with the future sister-in-law."

Li Xiaoyao also echoed, "It's about the lifelong happiness of elder brother and sister-in-law, what's the point of delaying for two days?"

Lin Tiannan was overjoyed, he raised his wine glass as a signal, and the three of them raised their glasses one after another and drank with him.

It was not until noon at this time, and they didn't drink too much, and it was time to have a good drink at dinner.

After drinking and eating, Lin Tiannan called the maidservant and ordered: "Chunlan, prepare two guest rooms for Young Master Li and Young Madam in the West Wing. Qiu Ju, take my uncle to the East Wing to rest."

"Yes, sir."

When in other people's homes, husband and wife cannot share the same bed. This is the rule.

Even after more than 1000 years, this rule still exists, so Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger had to live separately.

Since Wang Xizhi was chosen as his son-in-law in the Jin Dynasty, there has been a saying of "the son-in-law of the east bed".

Therefore, the son-in-law is usually arranged in the east wing at the father-in-law's house.

Although Li Fei and Lin Yueru will not get married for the time being, but Lin Yueru's marriage has been settled, and the future son-in-law is still a rare hero, Lin Tiannan is overjoyed.

He then invited all the guests supported by the house to have a good time at home and share his joy.

The so-called Qingke refers to literati who help rich and noble people to make fun of, or entertainers who play and sing.

Those who failed the imperial examinations and their official careers would work as patrons in wealthy families, writing portraits, drinking and composing poems are all their forte.

In ancient times, powerful families would raise such a group of people for entertainment.

At the same time, Lin Tiannan also invited a fortune-teller to help Li Fei and Lin Yueru get married.

Li Fei himself is proficient in this way, so he set a birth date that is most suitable for Lin Yueru.

After the fortune teller got his birth date, he counted it in front of Lin Tiannan and the crowd, and his face showed joy.

"Congratulations, Master Hexi Master, Mr. Li and Qianjin Ling are the twins in the world, a perfect match made in nature. Judging from their horoscopes, they are definitely full of children and grandchildren, and they are a sign of great wealth."

Lin Tiannan was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, he said cheerfully: "Okay, that's the best, Lin Zhong, take Mr. to the tent to receive the reward."

The fortune-teller thanked Lin Tiannan endlessly, followed Lin Zhong to leave, and a group of cleanup guests congratulated Lin Tiannan one after another.

Lin Tiannan put one hand on Li Fei's shoulder, and said with a smile: "My son-in-law, my Lin family is weak, and I will rely on you and Ru'er in the future. Help us add more members to our Lin family! Hahaha..."

Lin Tiannan was really on top today, so he spoke a little more informally, but Li Fei felt a little embarrassed in front of the crowd.

He bowed his head slightly and said with an embarrassed smile: "My son-in-law will do his best."

……

The back house of the Lin Family Fort, Lin Yueru's boudoir.

Chunlan stared at her eldest lady in a daze, what did she see?
The eldest lady is actually tracing her eyebrows in front of the mirror?This scares her more than the eldest lady getting angry. Is she really the eldest lady?

"Miss... Miss, are you alright?" Chunlan asked tentatively with a trembling voice.

"Don't be noisy!"

Lin Yueru ignored Chunlan, carefully drew the last stroke, looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and muttered, "I can be very feminine too!"

"Miss, you...are you alright?"

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Yueru asked nonchalantly.

"You don't hate... hate..."

"What do you hate? Tell me!" Lin Yueru turned her head and stared at Chunlan and asked.

Chunlan shrank her neck and said in a frightened voice, "Don't you hate... being a girl?"

Lin Yueru got up suddenly, stepped on the stool with her left leg, and said angrily, "When did I say that?"

"Ah...no...no." Chunlan waved her hands again and again, unable to speak.

Seeing Chunlan's eyes cast on her left foot on the stool, Lin Yueru's face showed embarrassment, she quickly put her leg down, and hummed, "I want to be a girl now, can't I?"

Seeing that the eldest lady seemed to be really different from before, Chunlan said cautiously: "Miss, you won't really fall in love with Mr. Li who has only met twice, and you haven't known him for a day, right?"

A blush rose on Lin Yueru's face, she turned her back to Chunlan, her voice became very gentle, "Chunlan, tell me, what about Li Fei?"

Chunlan thought for a while, and said, "Young Master Li... is very handsome and manly!"

"The martial arts are strong and gentle, he is affectionate and loyal, and he keeps promises. He also has a chivalrous heart. Except for the master, I have never seen a second man like this in Suzhou!"

"I feel that he is like a copy of the master."

It's not that Chunlan deliberately flatters her lord. There are two martial arts leaders in the north and south in the rivers and lakes, which can be said to be two extremes.

Shen Qingfeng, the leader of the Northern Martial Arts Alliance, has a low character, is greedy for money and lustful, has many wives and concubines, but has a cold nature and is not good to his family.

Just because his wives and concubines didn't give birth to him a son, they treated him indifferently. His wives, concubines and daughters were the hostess and young lady in Shen's house, but lived the lives of maidservants.

As for Lin Tiannan, the leader of the South Martial Arts Alliance, he is a decent person, emphasizing love and righteousness, and has confidantes all over the world. Even the head teacher of Shushan and the current minister are his close friends.

Although he is also wealthy, he is also willing to give.

If there is any disaster year, he will take the initiative to open a warehouse to release food to help the victims, and his reputation and word of mouth are excellent.

Moreover, he is very dedicated and devoted to his dead wife.

His wife passed away for many years, but never remarried. She doted on Lin Yueru, the only daughter of him and his late wife, and regarded her as the apple of her eye.

After hearing Chunlan's words, Lin Yueru felt sweet in her heart.

Chunlan grew up with her, so Lin Yueru would never shy away from her.

She said with blurred eyes: "Yes! He came to my house for less than a day, and you can tell so many good things about him. Isn't it normal that I like him?"

Most girls have a bit of Electra, and when looking for a partner, they will subconsciously compare their partner with their father.

This is a subconscious behavior that is not controlled by the conscious mind.

As Chunlan said, Li Fei is like a young version of Lin Tiannan, even more handsome and personable than Lin Tiannan.

It's not surprising that Lin Yueru fell in love with him in a short period of time.

"Yes, such a strange man is hard to come by."

"Really!" Lin Yueru replied triumphantly, and continued: "What is he doing now?"

Chunlan said: "Master has called those cleaning customers and is taking him to drink and chat. It seems that Master is really satisfied with this uncle."

"However, my uncle wants to send Miss Ling'er back to Miaojiang, and I don't know how long it will take for her to come back. Miss, you may have to endure the pain of lovesickness for a while."

Hearing Chunlan's words, Lin Yueru's heart twitched, her eyes flickered, and she seemed to have made a decision in her heart.

……

The west wing room, Zhao Linger's room.

There seemed to be something wrong with Zhao Linger's condition, Li Xiaoyao asked with concern: "Linger, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be looking well."

Zhao Linger frowned slightly, and said: "I... my chest is tight, and my head hurts a little, but it's okay."

Li Xiaoyao touched her forehead, it was a little hot, he said anxiously: "Oh, you are sick."

Zhao Ling'er held Li Xiaoyao's hand, and said softly, "I'm fine, brother Xiaoyao, do you still remember what grandma said to you when she died?"

Li Xiaoyao put her small hand on his face, covered it with his big hand, and said softly, "How could I forget? You are my wife, and I will definitely take good care of you for the rest of my life."

"But……"

Li Xiaoyao looked at her puzzled and said, "But what?"

Zhao Linger's cherry lips parted, and she whispered, "But, if... I am..."

"What do you want to say?"

Zhao Ling'er hesitated to speak, but in the end she couldn't finish, and sighed: "I don't know, these two days, I've always felt weird."

"It's like... I'm not myself anymore, and I don't know why."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ling'er suddenly burst into tears, and Li Xiaoyao said in shock: "Are you really so uncomfortable? I'll ask Uncle Lin to call a doctor for you..."

"No, I'll call my elder brother. He has great powers, and even a little ailment can be cured with his hands."

Zhao Ling'er grabbed Li Xiaoyao and said, "No, there's no need, I'm not feeling sick, but... I'm scared, Brother Xiaoyao, say it again..."

"say what?"

"Say... say you won't leave me, won't make me a human being."

Li Xiaoyao leaned forward, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "I will never leave you, and I will never leave you alone. In this life, I will be where you are."

On Zhao Linger's pale face, there was a reassuring smile, and she said, "I'll be much better this way."

Li Xiaoyao only thought of her as a girl's sentimentality, and didn't take it seriously, saying: "That's good, stop thinking about it, silly girl, go to sleep! I'll be right here with you."

Zhao Ling'er held Li Xiaoyao's hand, and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

……

Night falls.

Lin Tiannan and the rest of the clean-up guests were already drunk, but Li Fei still sat there without shaking, which made the clean-up guests admirable.

Chunlan turned out from the back hall, stepped forward and said, "My lord, the eldest miss invites my uncle to go."

Lin Tiannan pointed at Li Fei, laughed at the crowd, and said: "Look at you, how long have you known each other, and it's so hard to part with each other, ignore me as an old man."

The Qing guests also laughed and said: "Master, you seem to be reluctant, but you are really happy about it. You are a bit duplicity!"

"Congratulations to the master for having a son-in-law. God is lucky, God is lucky."

"Hahaha... Go ahead! We old guys won't take up your young people's time."

Li Fei got up and bid farewell to everyone, followed Chunlan out of the hall and walked towards the back garden.

Chunlan brought Li Fei to the edge of a pool of water. The moon in the sky was as bright as a hook, reflected in the pool, elegant and bright.

The fragrance of flowers filled the pool, Li Fei looked up and saw a slender figure sitting in a small pavilion wrapped in flower vines.

Chunlan smiled and said, "Master, Miss is waiting for you in the rose pavilion, don't you hurry up?"

Li Fei responded with a smile, and walked forward.

Outside the entire gazebo, there are rows of various roses, and some roses grow on the gazebo. Under the moonlight, they are almost mysteriously beautiful.

Two maidservants held lanterns to light the way, Li Fei stepped up the stone steps, looked up, his eyes lit up.

At this time, Lin Yueru had carefully dressed up, wearing a thin skirt with pearls, and her long hair was tied into a bun.

Seeing Li Fei looking at her appreciatively, Lin Yueru shyly turned her face away.

Bu Yao shook her hair slightly, and the golden candlelight shone on her face, adding a bit of glamour.

During the day, the girl who was wearing a purple shirt and her hair was tied up casually looked elegant and gentle under her careful grooming.

"You are beautiful tonight, and your clothes are beautiful."

Li Fei walked to Lin Yueru's side, sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, and spoke softly.

"Really?" Lin Yueru lowered her head slightly, her lips curved in an arc involuntarily.

Li Fei went on to say: "But I still like your handsome and heroic appearance."

Lin Yueru's eyes lit up, she looked up at him and asked, "Why?"

Li Fei smiled and said: "I have seen many gentle and beautiful women, but I have never had one that moved my heart."

"Seeing you swaying freely on the stage today, overwhelming the heroes with your sword, this is the first time I have a feeling of heartbeat."

"You don't have to deliberately change yourself for me, your nature is what fascinates me the most."

For a moment, Lin Yueru felt that her heart was extremely sweet, and her heart beat faster without knowing it.

She has never heard such a touching confession in such a big age.

After a few breaths of silence, she said firmly, "I've decided."

Li Fei asked in surprise, "What to decide?"

Lin Yueru said: "I decided to go on the road with you and escort Ling'er to Miaojiang."

Li Fei tilted his head and thought for a while, under Lin Yueru's nervous gaze, he nodded with a smile and said, "As long as you can convince your father, I'm fine."

Lin Yueru was overjoyed, and said crisply: "Then it's settled, I'll talk to my father, and he will definitely agree."

Li Fei nodded, and said, "Actually, I am the kind of person who likes to wander around the world. If you want me to stay in one place all the time, I may not be able to stay."

"Even if we get married in the future, I would rather take you to travel around the world, rather than let you stay at home and raise your husband and children."

Lin Yueru looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Actually, what I yearn for the most is that kind of life."

"You can travel around and take risks, you can meet many people, see many things, and you can practice your martial arts."

Li Fei looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you really think so? Or is it to accommodate me?"

Lin Yueru said affirmatively, "I really think so."

Li Fei said happily: "Okay, after dealing with Ling'er's affairs, I will take you to eat all the delicacies in the world and see the beautiful scenery in the world."

"Hee, eat till old, play till old."

Hearing Lin Yueru utter the most classic and heart-wrenching words, Li Fei was inexplicably moved.

For the world, but also for yourself.

This heart-wrenching woman in the original plot will surely live happily ever after.

Because this world... has me.
