Chapter 346;
Heart-to-heart talk between mother and son (Part 1)
Recalling the time when Lu Yaoyao came to Princess Dachang for the first time.
At that time, she was just a peasant girl who had just returned to the capital, and her father and stepmother brought her here to plot against her.
At that time, they were still looking at their relationship with Prince Jin and looked after him. They never thought that in less than a year, she would become the princess, and she would also be an unprecedented hereditary princess.
The identities before and after are really completely different.
"She is very capable. If she were a man, she would be the prime minister and assistant to the Duke of the country at that time."
The eldest princess smiled and spoke with a tired look on her face.
Speaking of which, her life was a bit bad during this period. The Lin family was destroyed, and her two sons now have a lot of resentment towards her.
"Yeah, it's a bit of a pity."
"I just don't know what she did this time to deserve such a generous reward from His Majesty?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess smiled and shook her head and said, "Some people are just afraid of being unlucky."
She had also heard about recent events in the capital. At this time, Lu Yaoyao entered the palace and received such a generous reward. The eldest princess immediately thought of something.
"Does Your Highness know anything?"
"How can I know anything without leaving home?"
The eldest princess smiled, then her face darkened.
"Go and call the boss and the second brother over."
Grandma Li stepped back. Not long after, two brothers, Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao Er, followed Grandma Li and walked in from the outside.
He bowed slightly to the eldest princess with a sullen face, then walked to the edge and sat down on his own.
He didn't ask any questions, just sat quietly.
The eldest princess was not angry about this. She first picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Mother Li, please tell me about today's news about Wanfu."
Hearing this, Granny Li quickly spoke out about Lu Yaoyao's promotion.
The two Lin brothers were startled at first, and then Boss Lin said, "Impossible, how is this possible? How could she, a peasant girl, get such a reward?"
"Nothing is impossible, the imperial edict has been issued, and now the whole capital is talking about it."
Boss Lin was silent.
"I know that you still hate me and blame me for what happened back then."
"I called you here today just to explain to you why I did what I did."
As soon as her voice fell, Lin Laoer stood up and started to walk out. It seemed that he had no intention of listening to his mother's explanation.
Seeing this, the eldest princess's face turned cold.
"Hmph, if either of you steps out of this room without my permission today, I will immediately pack up your things and leave. From now on, you will have nothing to do with me."
Lin Laoer suddenly stopped in his steps and turned to look at the eldest princess resentfully.
Facing his gaze, the eldest princess didn't care at all.
"Do you really think you are someone?"
"But I don't know that both of you are useless. Ask yourselves, if you weren't my son, how could you two have made a name for yourself in the capital?"
Lin Laoer was very unconvinced by her words.
He was once one of the commanders of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and his abilities were so outstanding that even His Majesty praised him.
"You are still not convinced. Without me, do you think you can be the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division? I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
These words pierced several transparent holes in Lin Laoer's heart.
I want to refute, but I can't find the words to refute.
"Second, sit down."
Boss Lin spoke quickly.
After all, he had been a civil servant for several years, and his brain was much more flexible than Lin Laoer's.
Although what my mother just said didn't sound right, it was definitely the truth.
Lin Laoer reluctantly sat down.
"Speaking of which, I was quite optimistic about you two when you were young, but do you know why I alienated you when you grew up?"
The two of them silently recalled that before they were ten years old, their mother was really very concerned about their brothers.
But starting from the age of eleven, the mother, who was originally smiling, gentle and doting, began to smile less and less, and she gradually became no longer close to them.
They have never thought too much about it, thinking that they have grown up and can no longer stay with their mother all day like they did when they were children.
And the mother also wanted them to become talented, so she pretended to be serious.
Now that they hear this, they think too much about their relationship in the past, and their mother is really alienated from them.
Seeing that the faces of the two people were beginning to look complicated, the eldest princess continued, "Because your hearts have begun to turn aside, because you listened to your father and started to help the Lin family do evil."
"Isn't it right to listen to your father?"
Lin Laoer retorted.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with listening to my father, but most of what he said is misleading to you."
"What is misleading? We brothers are members of the Lin family. Is it misleading to help the Lin family?"
"Boy, shut up and listen quietly."
Lin Lao Er scolded Lin Lao Er again.
"It's good for you to help the Lin family, and it's human nature, but do you understand what kind of people the Lin family is?"
"This group of people in the Lin family are all very ambitious. Think about it for yourself. After the Lin family came to the capital, how many things in our house were willingly given to the Lin family by the two of you."
"What did they give you again?"
"What did you bring you again?"
The two brothers thought back in silence.
When the Lin family first came to Beijing, their situation was very bad. Although with the help of their old father, their life was not too bad, but it was just average in the capital.
And from the moment they came into contact with the Lin family, they began to support them intentionally or unintentionally.
In just a few years, the Lin family changed their headscarves and faces.
However, as the Lin family became stronger, they did not get any benefits from the Lin family, only what their father kept saying.
They are sons of the Lin family and will need help from the Lin family in the future.
The eldest princess will go there one day. Only by helping the Lin family become stronger can their future children and grandchildren live a good life.
"You are my sons, and your children are my grandsons."
"They are members of the royal family. Even if I am no longer here, your uncle will still take care of you."
"Even if your uncle is gone in the future, the person in charge will still be his son. He is your biological cousin. As long as you don't mess around and do your own thing properly, he will also look after you."
"Are you saying you are idiots? You don't want to take care of the royal family and ask for the future care of a mere Lin family?"
The two lowered their heads at these words.
It's really a bit stupid.
They were still young at that time, and their old father indoctrinated them like this all day long, and they unknowingly regarded it as their duty to help the Lin family.
Thinking about it now, it seems that it was then that my mother began to distance herself from them.
"You have spared no effort to help the Lin family over the years, but what have they brought to you?"
"I will tell you the truth today. In the past few years, the total number of memorials issued by the court officials to impeach you two brothers is no less than 100."
"If it weren't for the fact that I, and the fact that your uncle's meeting is not a big deal, directly suppressed you, you two would have been dismissed from office and locked up a few years ago."
