Rebirth of the Lin family's wife

Chapter 26

23 literati jointly penned Huilin's marriage, which made Hui's family very angry.

Because it was the time of the congressional elections, and Brother Hui was one of the hottest nominees...

In the next few days, both Lin Yuehong, Bai Yingying and Lin Yuean became taboo words in Hui's family, from Hui's mother to servants, no one wanted to mention them.

Hui Yimei spent three days in such a high-pressure and dull atmosphere.

She was too thoughtful. On the day of her mother's birthday, she developed a low-grade fever due to excessive nervousness and fright. Later, under the advice of the doctor, she stopped eating for a day, and after three days of rest, her body has slowly recovered. After recovering, the person lost a lot of weight.

On this day, she was leaning on the bed in a daze, Xiaohong hurried up from downstairs and said, "...Miss, Mr. Ai wants to come up to see you."

Hui Yi's eyebrows are silent.

She owed him an apology for Lin Yuean and Yu Ming's matter.

"You tidy up the piano room, invite Mr. Ai there, and I'll come over right away." Hui Yimei said.

Xiaohong responded, turned around and left the room.

Hui Yimei walked to the closet, hesitated for a while, and chose a primrose-colored blouse with tuna and white trim, matched it with a long skirt embroidered with elegant orchid grass on a tea-white background; braids, and the rest of the long hair is casually draped behind her head...

After tidying up, she was ready to go to the piano room, but she felt a little cold as soon as she went out, so she went back to the room and took a light blue shawl and put it on her arm.

Ai Chengxuan was already waiting in the piano room.

Seeing Hui Yimei with a beautiful appearance, Ai Chengxuan fell into a daze again.

He originally thought that this girl was different from other women, but in the end, he was still used by her...

But after calming down in the past few days, he was relieved again.

——Although Hui Er's intentions are relatively obvious, except for Hui Yimei's use of herself as a witness before Lin Yuean and the actor, she has never shown any intention of being close to herself from the beginning until now... .

After living in Hui's house for a few days, he already knew that she was in an embarrassing and critical situation.

But this made Ai Chengxuan feel that, like himself, she is a person who can't help herself; because he and her family all regard his marriage with her as a political (benefit) bargaining chip...

It's just that she is far braver than him.

At least she still dared to design the third child of the Lin family with quick wit, so as to avoid her entanglement with the Lin family; although her mother and elder brother still did not express their views directly on her marriage, it at least represented her attitude.

She is unwilling to this marriage.

But he, bearing the status of the prince of the former dynasty, was restricted in every word and deed, not to mention the freedom of marriage, even the freedom of person, freedom of speech... not at all.

Thinking about it this way, in Ai Chengxuan's heart, Hui Yimei has become a confidant.

It's just that now, seeing that her beautiful face has been reduced, her chin is pointed, her big eyes look even bigger, and her already slender waist is probably not as thin as his slap now, so she couldn't help but say, "Why are you so thin ?”

Hui Yimei glanced at Xiaohong who was boiling water and making tea, and said, "Xiaohong, go and get the Biluochun from my room."

Xiaohong responded, turned around and left the piano room.

Huiyi's eyebrows hesitated.

What kind of apology is more sincere?
Do Western salute, hold the skirt and squat down?

But she is wearing a Chinese-style skirt...

After thinking about it, she still made a traditional squatting ceremony to Ai Chengxuan.

"Chengxuan, what happened a few days ago... I'm really sorry," Hui Yimei said in a low voice, "I, I, I..."

She said "I" a few times in a row, but in the end she didn't explain why she did it.

She is not familiar with Ai Chengxuan, although her mother and elder brothers have always been unclear about her marriage contract with the Lin family, but she can't speak ill of her family to a stranger.

Ai Chengxuan knew it well.

His situation was exactly the same as hers.

——His mother treated him with kindness and strictness. Although he also had a stomach full of bitterness, he couldn't blame his mother.

But looking at her graceful bowing posture, she has an indescribable gracefulness. Looking at such a classical beauty, Ai Chengxuan only felt very seductive, so he chuckled, "...don't say it, Yu Ming It does look like a woman."

Huiyi still maintained the posture of saluting blessings, but she couldn't help raising her head.

He looked at her with a smile, although there was surprise in his eyes, they were clear; and his smile was also very sincere.

Although he didn't say anything, Hui Yimei knew that his subtext was actually - it doesn't matter, I don't care, besides, I have nothing to lose, right?

His generosity made her a little embarrassed.

But Xiaohong came in with a tea pot.

Hui Yimei had no choice but to straighten her back, slowly walked to the stool next to Ai Chengxuan and sat down.

She was not interested in making tea, so Xiao Hong stood aside to make tea for the two of them.

Ai Chengxuan looked at Xiaohong's posture of making tea, and complained, "It's been raining a lot these days, it's boring to stay at home."

Hui Yimei replied cautiously, "...this is the rainy season, and there will be rain for about half a month. After the rain stops, the plums should be ripe... The dark plums in our Chuyun Town are famous for their good quality. , big and sweet..."

He looked at her cautious appearance and laughed.

"It would be great if I could go out for a stroll," Ai Chengxuan put his hands behind his head, leaned his back on the back of the chair, and said leisurely, "Actually, you should also go out to relax. You are always bored in the room. If you’re in a bad mood, you’re more likely to get sick.”

Suddenly someone rang the bell on the first floor.

This is a customary rule of the Hui family.

Miss lives in the attic, not to mention that the male servants are not allowed to approach the small building, even the maids are not allowed to approach the small building at ordinary times. If there is anything, people will ring the bell downstairs, and Xiaohong will come down by herself. Go upstairs to check...

So Xiaohong served tea to the two of them and hurried downstairs.

After a while, Xiaohong ran up in a hurry, first glanced at Ai Chengxuan, and then whispered to Hui Yimei, "Miss, Father Tom from the church in the county town sent someone to send a message, saying, If you are free in two days, please come over, he has something to see you..."

Hui Yi froze for a moment.

Ai Chengxuan asked with great interest, "Church? Is there a church in the county? Is it Catholicism or Christianity?"

Seeing that Hui Yimei was in a daze, Xiaohong didn't seem to hear Ai Chengxuan's question, so she boldly replied, "Responding to Mr. Ai's words, there is only one Catholic church in our county, and that Mr. Tom The priest has lived in our county for 30 to [-] years! Ah, by the way, Father Tom seems to be from England, his eyes are gray-blue, and his hair is snow-white...It is said that when he was young, his hair was white ..."

Ai Chengxuan has already stood up.

"Yi Mei, let's go! Let's go to the church for a stroll, hey! I'm bored at home!" Ai Chengxuan said, "Let's go chat with the old priest..."

What Huiyi thought in her mind was...

She sent a letter to Father Tom a few days ago, asking him to save Yu Ming; now Father Tom sent someone to bring a letter to ask her to go to church, could it be... because of Yu Ming's matter?
Thinking of this, Hui Yimei couldn't sit still anymore, "Xiaohong, go tell sister-in-law about me..."

As she spoke, she suddenly paused for a few seconds, took a look at Ai Chengxuan, and then added, "Just say that Mr. Ai wants to go to the county town for a stroll, please prepare the car..."

Ai Chengxuan had figured it out a long time ago, so he didn't bother that she used himself as a cover again; he just stood there and twisted his waist, and stretched his muscles and bones again, as if he was going to do something earth-shattering next. .

Xiaohong responded and hurried downstairs.

Ai Chengxuan said with lofty ambitions, "Yimei, after we finished visiting the church this time, let's go to that western restaurant for dinner... last time I ordered spaghetti bolognese, and they dared to use vermicelli to get tomato sauce Fool me. This time I have to try their creme brulee! Yimei, do you believe it? Let me bet you, their creme brulee must be steamed egg with brown sugar!"

Hui Yi couldn't hold back her brows, she covered her mouth and laughed with a "Pu Chi".

Seeing the looming dimple at the corner of her mouth, Ai Chengxuan also laughed.

Xiao Hong quickly ran back to reply, saying that the eldest wife had already arranged the car, and they would be able to go out in a quarter of an hour.

Not long after, Hui Yimei and Ai Chengxuan got into Hui's car and drove towards the church in the county town.

When he arrived at the church, Ai Chengxuan immediately fell in love with it.

Although this is a simple and traditional Chinese-style building, there are European-style details everywhere...the church's unique steeple attic, hand-painted decorations above the door frame, oil paintings hanging in the corridor, and even some common plants in England and flowers...

It seems that this Father Tom is also a person who loves life.

After hearing the letter, Father Tom hurried out from the room; but when he saw Hui Yimei was accompanied by a young man, he couldn't help being stunned.

Hui Yimei was afraid that Father Tom didn't know that Ai Chengxuan was also proficient in English, what if he directly told her about Yu Ming in English...

So, she immediately introduced the two of them in English.

"Father, this is Henry, he is a British Chinese, and he just came back from England not long ago..."

"Henry, this is Father Tom."

The two men, one old and one young, chattered.

After saying a few polite words, Father Tom asked the volunteers to accompany Ai Chengxuan to visit the church, but he raised Hui Yi's eyebrows and walked to the library on the third floor.

Seeing that Father Tom kept refusing to mention Yu Ming, Hui Yi couldn't hold back her eyebrows.

Holding her skirt, she asked softly while going up the stairs, "Father, have you received my letter? Yu Ming... have you found him? How is his condition, does it matter?"

Father Tom, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head and glanced at her, and replied, "As soon as I received your letter, I searched everywhere and sent people to look for it...but the whole of Chuyun Town I am afraid of. I've searched all over, but I can't find any trace of him..."

Hui Yi froze for a moment.

After finishing speaking, Father Tom continued to go upstairs and had already reached the front, so she had no choice but to follow.

Standing at the door of the library, Father Tom suddenly stopped in his tracks again.

He turned his head to look at Hui Yimei, sighed a long time, and said, "Winnie, I know...you might blame me, but I just want you to understand one thing, God has closed a door, There will definitely be a window for you...the matter that is troubling you now, there must always be a solution..."

Hui Yi's brows are puzzled.

But Father Tom had already opened the door of the library and pushed her gently into the library.

"Father?"

Hui Yimei turned around and gave a low cry, but the door of the library was already gently closed by Father Tom with both hands.

"Miss Hui, I hope my appearance will not disgust you too much."

A clear and familiar man's voice sounded.

Hui Yi's eyebrows froze, and she turned around slowly.

this person...

It was Lin Yuexian!
