  Chapter 221 Father and Daughter Meet Sakura's Secret (8)

  Ning Yue nodded: "I know, grandma."

  Lin Lanzhi nestled in the arms of Mrs. Lin, wept softly for a while, and then followed Ning Yue, reluctantly bidding farewell to her mother.

  On the morning of the second day of March, the post sent a message that Ma Yuan's injury was no longer serious, and he could enter Beijing today.

   These are really two great pieces of good news. Everyone in the Ma family is celebrating. The old lady ordered someone to tidy up the house, and hung a few auspicious red lanterns on the porch.

   Lin Lanzhi and Ning Yue were not idle either. When they learned that their father had returned home, they started meeting before noon, saying that they would make dumplings for Ma Yuan when he came back.

   "Your father loves my dumplings the most." Lin Lanzhi said proudly, "Oh, and boiled eggs! Every time your father comes back from outside, he always eats two!"

Ning Yue's heart slowly overflowed with a sense of happiness. The tragedy in her previous life came so suddenly that she didn't even have a chance to save her. Her father and mother died tragically one after another. After recovering, no matter how I think about it, I feel that the days ahead are full of surprises!

  Ma Ningxin was also very happy from the bottom of her heart. The uncle left early, and she raised her under Lin Lanzhi's knees for several years. She hugged Niuniu, and said cheerfully, "Fourth Grandpa is coming back, is Niuniu happy?"

  Niuniu said stupidly: "Happy."

  What is fourth grandpa? Can I eat it?

   "Oh, oh, my lord's sedan chair has entered the capital!" Dongmei stumbled and ran in, and when she passed the threshold, she didn't pay attention to her feet and almost fell into the pot.

  Ning Yue was in a good mood, and only cast a glance at her: "How long have you been by my side? Still can't learn the rules? Where is my father?"

  Dongmei smiled and said: "I just entered the south gate."

  Lin Lanzhi's heart suddenly became tense: "I...I'll go outside and wait for him."

   Ning Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't wait so much. When I went to Lin's house, why didn't my mother come to pick me up at the door? Does it mean that in my mother's heart, I like my father more than me?"

  Lin Lanzhi was so ashamed that he feigned anger and said, "You child, you even made noise with me!"

  Ning Yue and Ma Ningxin looked at each other and smiled.

  Lin Lanzhi finally went, and stood at the gate for a full hour, dizzy from the sun, and then returned to Tangli Courtyard with Hongyu's support.

   "I... I'll make you some side dishes, what do you want to eat?" She said shyly.

  It's not time for meal yet, what side dishes do you have? Ning Yue looked at her in confusion.

  She went to the small kitchen in a daze. Not long after, a servant girl screamed: "Ma'am! That fish is alive, and it hasn't been killed yet. Why did you put it in the oil pan?"

   Ning Yue was afraid that her mother would kill someone, so she hurriedly dragged her back to the house: "Okay, mother, you sit here, I'll wait at the door, okay?"

  Lin Lanzhi also knew that she was ridiculous, but she just couldn't help it. From the moment she was chased by the vicious dog and fell into his arms, this heart no longer belonged to her. However, Lin's family was the tallest, and her parents looked down on a concubine and insisted on betrotting her to the young master of the Yao family. He knelt outside the door and was drenched by the heavy rain for three whole days before he managed to touch her parents' heart.

  Although what happened to Lin Yonghe, she knew that he was drunk and mistook Lin Yonghe for her. After Lin Yonghe passed the door, he treated Lin Yonghe very coldly. And other than that, he never touched another woman.

Ning Yue saw what her mother was thinking, and hugged her mother's arm: "It's a good thing that your husband and wife are loving each other, I won't laugh at you! I wish you could be like Princess Fuyuan and Concubine Guo, and you wouldn't get tired of being together every day. Too much! Best, give me another little brother!"

  Brother is dead, as long as another one with a handle pops out of her mother's belly, the Ma family's foundation will not fall into the hands of others!

  Lin Lanzhi blushed, and she also thought about giving birth to another child for her husband.

   "Your father...does he think I'm old?"

   "How could it be? Besides, you're only under forty, how old are you? You're in your prime!"

  Lin Lanzhi was amused, and most of the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.

  Ning Yue went to the gate, but also waited for an hour, but she didn't see anyone, and asked Dongmei, "Are you sure my father has entered the south gate? It's not too far from the south gate, and you can climb there."

  Dongmei said: "Master, sitting in a sedan chair is definitely slower than a carriage."

   So, after waiting for another hour, it was already dark, only to see a soft sedan chair carried by eight people approaching slowly surrounded by guards. The leader is Geng Zhongzhi, the old lady sent him to pick up the people, and the news that he just passed the south gate was brought back by the little beggar.

   Geng Zhong glanced at Ning Yue with a weird expression.

  Ning Yue didn't care about him, so she taught Dongmei to invite her mother out, but Lin Lanzhi had already come, and upon hearing this, she hurried out from behind the rockery.

  The mother and daughter stood on the porch with wrists in hand, looking expectantly at the most important man in their lives so far.

  The sedan chair stopped half a foot away, Geng Zhongzhi opened the curtain, and a middle-aged man in a brown brocade suit with a bandage around his neck walked down quickly.

   "Father!" Ning Yue's eyes turned red and she ran over!

  Ma Yuan smiled pleasantly, hugged his daughter's thin shoulders with his right hand, and then looked at her with unbelievable eyes: "Is it really good to show my father a few jumps?"

  Ning Yue smiled through tears: "I ran so vigorously just now!"

  Ma Yuan nodded in relief, and hugged her tightly, reluctant to let go.

  Ning Yue took her father's hand again, pointed to the door and said, "Father, look, who is that?"

Ma Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to look over, and saw a woman in a lavender tunic skirt and a plain white pipa-buttoned short spring dress under the dim light, standing there quietly, looking at him with tears in her eyes. .

  He opened his mouth, but couldn't come back to his senses for a long time: "Lan...Lanzhi?"

  Lin Lanzhi nodded, tears rolled down, and walked towards him step by step: "Ma Yuan..."

   Just when she was about to touch Ma Yuan's face, another person stepped down from the sedan chair and said softly, "Sir, are you home yet?"

  Lin Lanzhi's hands froze in the air.

   Ning Yue frowned, and looked at the young woman in the light gold woven gauze dress and plain white high-waisted skirt. A cold air rushed from the top of her head to the bottom of her heart, and her whole heart... was so cold.
