Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 243 My Love, I Love You

And on the other side,

Lin Yunlan and Lu Qingqing bought some clothes, jewelry, and pastries.

I was sitting in the carriage on my way home.

Lin Yunlan held the reins with one hand,

He gently pulled Lu Qingqing's hand with one hand.

Lu Qingqing was a little embarrassed.

Her face instantly turned red.

To cover up her feelings, she changed the subject and asked:

"Yunlan, you've been gone for several months this time."

What's the situation over there right now?

When Lin Yunlan heard Lu Qingqing's question,

His expression turned serious, and he slightly turned his head to look at her.

Said:

To be honest, my dear,

The Emperor has reinvestigated the matter concerning the Third Prince.

He was indeed wronged.

Furthermore, the Emperor has already issued an edict restoring the Third Prince's status and all his salary and allowance.

Lu Qingqing frowned slightly and continued to ask,

"And who is the person who framed the Third Prince?"

But then they were punished?

Lin Yunlan gently patted Lu Qingqing's hand.

He replied with a slight sense of regret:

"After this period of investigation,

One of the ministers involved in the case has connections with the second prince.

That person was really cunning.

He managed to confess by poisoning himself before the emperor could conduct a thorough investigation.

So now the matter has come to this point.

The Emperor then identified that person as the mastermind.

This incident led to the termination of further investigation.

Lu Qingqing frowned.

A question arose in my mind:

"Confess to poisoning? Termination of investigation?"

This person's death was too suspicious.

It's certain this wasn't a mastermind sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

Is there something else going on behind this?

The Emperor simply terminated the investigation.

Could it be that they've found out something?

Just an ordinary person like me,

I also feel there are many suspicious points in this matter.

Lin Yunlan nodded solemnly.

"My dear, a ruler's heart is inherently unfathomable."

I don't know what the Emperor is thinking.

We must not discuss it recklessly.

But then the minister suddenly confessed by taking poison.

Many leads were thus lost.

Since the Emperor has issued an edict to terminate the investigation,

We have no choice but to obey His Majesty's will.

Lu Qingqing bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Yunlan, what about Shitou and the others?"

What if they take her back?

She looked up, her eyes filled with worry and unease.

After all, she had always treated Shi Tou and the others as her own children.

She simply couldn't bear to part with it.

Lin Yunlan frowned slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Qingqing, I'm not sure either."

Stone and his group have special identities.

Stone is the child of the Third Prince who was lost among the common people.

Now the Third Prince has been exonerated.

Perhaps they will soon recognize their own bloodline.

Lu Qingqing unconsciously gripped the hem of her dress.

But Shi Tou and the others don't know these things.

"Wouldn't they be scared if they were suddenly taken away?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually reddened.

The thought that the stone might suddenly leave,

My heart ached as if it were being squeezed.

Lin Yunlan hugged Lu Qingqing even tighter, feeling a pang of heartache.

He said softly:

"Qingqing, I understand your worries."

Stone and Frost have been with us for a long time.

It has long been our prized possession.

But we should also look on the bright side of this.

The Third Prince was, after all, a prince, and the biological father of Shi Tou.

Stone lived a life of luxury with the Third Prince.

It's still better than following us, isn't it?

Besides, even if Stone and the others are recognized and taken back,

We can also visit them from time to time.

After all, we've raised them for so long, we have an attachment to them.

I believe the Third Prince won't prevent us from seeing and contacting the children.

Lu Qingqing sighed softly.

She reached up and smoothed a strand of hair at her temple.

His gaze was somewhat vacant as he stared ahead.

"Just thinking about how Stone and the others will leave us in the future..."

Go to a completely unfamiliar environment

I feel so empty inside.

I wonder if Shi Tou can adapt to the power struggles and intrigues within the palace.

"What if someone bullies me...?"

Lin Yunlan pressed Lu Qingqing's hand against his cheek.

He said gently:

"Qingqing, I understand what you're worried about."

But since the Third Prince has recovered completely...

They will surely cherish this hard-won reunion between father and son.

We will definitely protect the stone's safety.

Lu Qingqing bit her lower lip and nodded.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yunlan said:

"Qingqing,

Stone and the others will eventually have to accept their true identities.

Although we feel bad,

But we also have to face reality, don't we?

Lu Qingqing raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes.

“I know, Yunlan.”

It was just that I suddenly realized I would soon have to face this separation.

I really hate to part with it.

Lin Yunlan gently wiped away her tears and said softly:

"My dear, I understand your heart, and how could I bear to part with you?"

But Stone has royal blood flowing through his veins.

For them, recognizing their ancestors and returning to their roots may be a new beginning.

And there is,

We'll eventually have children of our own, won't we?

Our future children

They will never leave us.

As Lin Yunlan finished speaking,

Lu Qingqing, who was still somewhat sad,

Hearing Lin Yunlan so bluntly say that they would have a child,

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She lowered her head slightly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

She scolded him softly:

"Lin Yunlan, let's talk about Shi Tou and the others again."

How did you change the subject by saying these things?

Although Lu Qingqing said that,

But these words also touched my heart.

It eased the gloomy mood that had just been there.

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing's shy appearance,

I couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Qingqing, I'm serious,"

We have a long life ahead of us.

I believe many wonderful things are waiting for us.

After Stone and the others are recognized as their ancestors,

We can visit them often.

And we will also have several children of our own.

They will grow up around us,

The family lived together in harmony.

Lu Qingqing raised her head and said shyly:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Yunlan held Lu Qingqing's hand tightly.

As if to transfer power to her,

My love, I adore you.

Will you marry me?

Lu Qingqing was slightly taken aback.

Surprise and joy flashed in her eyes, and her cheeks flushed even more.

She looked into Lin Yunlan's affectionate eyes.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

There are both expectations for the future and

And because of the stone we just talked about, I was a little worried.

But at this moment,

She could sense Lin Yunlan's sincere feelings.

It also made her transform all her emotions into deep love.

She gently bit her lower lip.

His voice trembled slightly as he said:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

We're husband and wife, after all.

Lin Yunlan was slightly taken aback by Lu Qingqing's answer.

His eyes then filled with laughter.

He gently stroked Lu Qingqing's face.

"My love, although our hearts are already in sync..."

They lived together like husband and wife.

But I still feel I owe you a proper wedding.

I want everyone to know,

You, Lu Qingqing, are the only true love of my life, Lin Yunlan.

I want to marry you in a grand and glorious ceremony.

Lu Qingqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration,

It was as if I suddenly understood something.

She asked uncertainly:

Yunlan,

What were you whispering about with your second sister-in-law just before you left the house?

Could it be...?

Lin Yunlan replied indulgently:

"Qingqing, as you wished..."

The family is currently decorating the wedding hall.

So that we can get married officially.

Everyone is looking forward to us officially getting married.

Let's have a grand and joyous celebration.

Lu Qingqing's face turned bright red instantly.

She covered her face in embarrassment; having grown up so much...

They've never been married yet.

This...this is their wedding day!

Why do I feel so nervous and embarrassed?

At this moment, Lu Qingqing's heart was in turmoil.

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing's shy appearance.

I couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He gently removed Lu Qingqing's hand from her face.

He held it in his palm and said:

"Qingqing, don't be shy."

Actually, I'm just like you.

I was filled with anticipation but also a little nervous.

But the thought of spending every day and night with you in the future...

My heart was filled with ecstatic joy.
