Chapter 102: Elimination - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

 Chapter 102: Elimination

Her words were filled with hope and excitement. She knew that Master wouldn't forget all they had been through. Once she returned, she would definitely complain to him and make sure he taught that vile woman Wen Shi a lesson!

Upon hearing this, the old woman didn't know how to respond, feeling somewhat conflicted.

After waiting for a while without her saying anything, Concubine Lin's heart sank halfway, and she anxiously asked, "What's wrong? Speak up!"

"Madam, this servant came secretly this time. Remembering that you didn't bring anything last time, I brought your previous jewelry just in case of emergency. Master..."

The old woman hesitated in her speech, but was interrupted by Concubine Lin shaking her and asking, "What about Master?"

"After Master learned about Madam's situation, he only said that matters in the backyard were to be decided by Madam Wen, and then... and then he no longer cared about your affairs."

The old woman's words struck like a thunderbolt, shattering Concubine Lin's last strand of hope.

How could her beloved husband be so heartless as to abandon her like this? Where had things gone wrong? Weren't they doing well before?

Wen Shi was previously suppressed by her, was now highly favored by Master, even more so than his legitimate son. The maids and old servants in the backyard all obeyed her commands. How could Wen Shi turn the tables on her like this, leaving her in such a plight?

She vividly remembered that after the New Year, Wen Shi planned to send her to the Yingtian Mansion. Wasn't that an eternal loss of hope for her?

No, she couldn't lose. She wouldn't lose!

Yes, there was Yunli! Her son. Last time, Master spared her because of Yunli and this time would be no different!

"Where is Yunli? Where is he? With him around, Master won't ignore me! Right?"

Seeing Concubine Lin in such a state, the old woman felt she was losing her mind. Instead of asking about the child's health, her first concern upon seeing her was whether Master would let her return?

Was this really a mother who loved her son?

The old woman couldn't quite understand.

"Second Young Master was seriously ill, and it was Madam who took care of him that made him recover. Master said that during the ancestral worship ceremony this New Year, Second Young Master will officially be recognized under Madam's name. I've seen it twice myself; Second Young Master can't bear to be separated from Madam and calls her 'Mother' every day."

"How could that be? Are you lying to me? Are you?"

Concubine Lin shook the old woman frantically, hoping for an answer that aligned with her expectations, but reality was too cruel!

Her husband had abandoned her, her son had become someone else's, and Wen Shi... truly had a good strategy. In just over half a month,she had managed to capture both their hearts. Shameless!

"Wen Shi, I won't let you get away with this! I won't!"

Her eyes blazed like fire, fixated on a distant spot, incessantly chanting curses. If Wen Shi were in front of her now, she would risk her life to kill her!

Terrified, the old woman swallowed hard and then whispered, "Madam, you've been kind to this old servant before, and now I've repaid you. Take care of yourself in the future."

After saying this, she quickly left. When Concubine Lin's said something darkly behind her, "How is your family's little grandson doing?"

"You!" The old woman turned back to look at her, shivering with fear.

About a quarter of an hour later, the old woman finally left, looking ashen but resigned, quickly getting on a carriage and heading towards the city.

The guards outside the door, having received their tea money, couldn't be bothered to investigate anything. As long as Concubine Lin wasn't missing, they weren't afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble.

"In this snowy weather, that old woman isn't afraid of the cold, making a trip like this."

"Ah, who knows, anyway, since she paid up, later let's go to Wang Dali's house at the east end of the village and have a couple of pots of wine. I'll ask the child's mother to fry up some side dishes for us. We'll warm ourselves up nicely."

Shaking the string of copper coins in his hand, he smiled happily.

Inside the house, Concubine Lin had completely lost her earlier rage, slowly arranging the jewelry brought by the old woman.

These were all gifts from Feng Jinxu before. Some hadn't even been worn much, but now she adorned herself with them, smiling contentedly as she looked out the window.

Wen Shi, our score isn't settled yet. Do you think you've won?

Haha, wait and see. There will be good days ahead for me.
She played with the string of copper coins in her hand, smiling happily.

Her eyes burst with greedy light, as if in the next moment she would no longer be a despised Concubine.

In the Feng family's main courtyard, there was a peaceful atmosphere. Feng Jinlin's courtyard was equally quiet.

In the past, when he was at home, he was either causing trouble here or there, his energy seemingly boundless. But now, with Eldest Brother guarding the neighboring courtyard and Yin Canwen striving to improve, every day, before dawn, Feng Jinlin shook his head and swayed in this courtyard. How could he still sleep in?

Consciously following suit, studying from dawn till dusk, after several days, his studies greatly benefited.

Feng Hai learned that his son's newfound awareness was all due to Yin Canwen's presence, deepening his fondness for him.

Although the Feng family was a prominent family in Liangzhou, they did not have the high status of a noble family. In his view, a good young man, regardless of his background, as long as he had enough ambition and drive, could carve out a place in the court.

If he also honored his parents and cherished his wife and children, he would be even better.

Yin Canwen was flawless and even more than that he had a surplus. The more he looked, the more pleasing he became, arousing some different thoughts.

Before retiring for the night, he quietly mentioned this matter to Madam Feng.

"Madam, what do you think of Young Master Yin?"

Madam Feng had only seen him once when Feng Jinlin brought him into the mansion. Although his family background was a bit thin, his talent and demeanor were excellent, neither stubborn like a spoiled son nor timid like a poor scholar.

"That child is good, a promising young talent. Ah Xu said Fourth Brother even praised him, saying he's likely to be in the top three this year. Looks like he's one to watch."

Upon hearing Madam Feng's words, Feng Hai's smile deepened.

However, he currently had no official position and was temporarily residing in the mansion. He feared that Madam Feng would think too much if he mentioned it abruptly, so he suppressed his thoughts.

"I think so too. Look at how much Second Young Master has improved under his guidance."

Speaking of Feng Jinlin, Madam Feng couldn't help but laugh and cry. That child could now study quietly at home, which was really thanks to Yin Canwen.

Thinking of this, she added, "Master reminded me that I should send some things over tomorrow. Young Master Yin only brought one trunk when he came, so he must not have enough winter clothes. We should prepare a few more for him."

"Madam is considerate."

Looking at his wife's appearance in the candlelight, Feng Hai seemed to return to her youth, just with a bit more of a woman's charm. Overflowing with love, he held her in his arms and comforted her.
