C15 Lily Blooming

The winter night came earlier than usual, and in the hazy night, the Yang Mansion was abnormally quiet. All the trees and houses were erased by the night, leaving only a vague wheel width. Waves of night wind blew over, and the branches swayed with the wind, like dancers in the night, dancing a lonely dance.

Yang Lin brought Yang Song and Yang Bai to walk around the Yang family's courtyard along the wall, taking in the view of the whole Yang family's courtyard. There weren't many buildings in the Yang Family compound, all hidden in the tall and dense trees. Except for a few courtyards which still had some light spots, most of them seemed to have fallen asleep.

Outside the wall, the mountains had also fallen asleep, only the rustling of the mountain breeze could be heard. The top of the mountain occupied by the Yang family compound seemed to be the tallest mountain in the area. From afar, one could see the nearby villages, with twinkling lights all around the Yang family compound.

"You may leave."

Yang Lin waved his hand and Yang Song and Yang Bai disappeared into the night. Just now Yang Song had told Yang Lin that the Yang family compound was divided into an inner and outer chamber, and that the women's quarters were the inner chamber. Yang Lin leisurely walked towards the inner chamber of the Yang family compound. Just as he walked to the entrance of the inner chamber, two girls were waiting there with lanterns in hand.

"Master, the Madam is asking you to come."

Yang Lin nodded and followed behind the two little girls. The shaking lanterns illuminated the trees on both sides. The thick trunk recorded the old days of the Yang family compound. Although there weren't many courtyards beside them, they were still antique, showing the long history of the Yang family compound.

"Master, this way please."

As they arrived at a small courtyard, the two girls pushed open the courtyard door and invited Yang Lin in. It was an exquisite little building, with two floors and five rooms on each floor. Under the guidance of the lantern, Yang Lin arrived at the second floor. The door to the room was open and the girls left. Yang Lin walked into the room by himself.

Inside the room, Mistress Yang was sitting at a table with a piece of cloth in her hand. It looked as if she was embroidering a pillowcase with two roses blooming. However, Mistress Yang's face was filled with worry. She raised her head to look at Yang Lin, and then pointed at the seat beside her.

"Sit down."

Yang Lin sat down and looked at Mistress Yang. Mistress Yang's beautiful eyes seemed to contain a faint sadness. Her eyes hurriedly swept across Yang Lin and she lowered her head. Her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, revealing a unique elegance.

"Madam, why are you looking for me?"

"You can call me Madam from now on. Yang Juan is your wife."

"Old madam?"

Yang Lin almost burst out laughing as he took a quick glance at Yang Juan's mother. She seemed to be in her thirties, and she was definitely a woman of good looks. It would be too outrageous to be called an old lady at such a young age.

"Are you very old, madame? Are you still very young? How could he be called an old mistress when he was in his prime? Who has ever seen such a beautiful young madame? "

Mistress Yang's pretty face instantly flushed red and the melancholy on her face was swept away. She originally wanted to act mature in front of Yang Lin, but she really couldn't help but reveal a smile. She pretended to be angry and fiercely glared at Yang Lin.

"Go, is that how you talk to your mother-in-law? I'm already over thirty years old, and I'm still in the prime of my life, not to mention young and beautiful. "

"Oh, is being in your thirties that old?"

Yang Lin stood up, took a step back, and carefully looked at Lady Yang. She was wearing a light cotton jacket which accentuated her slim and well-proportioned figure, and as she leaned forward, her face was slightly wiped away, but she looked even more charming, just like the most natural yet most beautiful girl's cheeks. Her sleeves, the front of her pants, and the corners of her robes were embroidered with a broad gold border, which further accentuated her noble aura; her jet-black hair was only tied up in a simple bun, while the last half of her hair was still loose and loose at the waist. Although she was wearing a long skirt, it still couldn't cover her slightly raised round bottom.

"Madam, when I came to borrow the bow and arrow that day, the first time I saw you, I thought there were two girls in the Yang Family compound, thinking that they looked really alike. Even now, I still think you two are sisters."

Although Yang Lin was deliberately flattering her, in his heart, he was also thinking, a woman in her thirties, isn't that the golden age of women? She was standing with Yang Juan, one was a budding flower, the other was a newly matured nectarine.

"I didn't expect you to have such a clever mouth. You sure know how to coax people." During the day you played them round and round, and now you play me again? "

"I'm not trying to coax you. What I said was the truth."

Mistress Yang smiled, and her face grew hot. Her pretty face was like a red rose that had just bloomed. Although she felt somewhat embarrassed, her heart was still as sweet as honey and her heart was beating wildly. She breathed in and out a few times, calming herself down a bit.

"Stop blabbering, let's be serious. Can you tell me what exactly happened with the five million?"

"Heh heh, I won that five million."

"Ah, you won?"

"Exactly."

Looking at Mistress Yang's surprised expression, Yang Lin smiled slightly. He then told her about how he had come to the prefecture to sell his prey and shake his dice. Then he remembered the question that had been hovering in his mind.

"Madam, Uncle Lei has always kept this in mind. Can you tell me what kind of conflict exists between the Yang Family and Uncle Lei?"

"Sigh, it's a long story."

Mistress Yang let out a long sigh. Her expression was somewhat unfriendly, as if the scene from ten years ago had once again flashed before her eyes. Although she didn't want to talk about it, the shadow had always been with her, making it impossible for her to get rid of it. Now that Yang Lin asked, she had to say, otherwise it would leave another knot in Yang Lin's heart.

"Ten years ago, because I had only one daughter and the second wife did not have any children, and Yang Feng already had two sons, she wanted to pass on her youngest son to Master. "I knew she did it for the Yang family's property, so I didn't agree. In order to have a son to inherit the Yang family's estate, I married the third wife for the master."

"Not long after he married the third wife, Yang Feng's husband celebrated on his thirtieth birthday. The old master will then have Yang Lei bring a few servants to protect the old master. I didn't expect that after returning, the old master would be completely unwell. He had invited many doctors, but they were still unable to treat him. Even the cause of his illness wasn't found. In less than a month, the old master passed away. "

"At that time, I suspected that Yang Feng killed her own brother in order to take over the Yang family's compound, but there was no evidence, so I was very angry. He also heard from the servants that Yang Feng liked Yang Lei a lot when he was a young miss in the Yang family's courtyard. "Therefore, I blamed Yang Lei for not protecting the old master well. I don't know if Yang Lei felt guilty or if he really accepted the marriage proposal, but in a fit of anger, he left the Yang Family compound."

"For the past ten years, I have been sending people to keep an eye on Yang Lei and Yang Feng, hoping to find out the cause of death. But ten years had passed, and Yang Lei and Yang Feng had never interacted with each other. "Now that I think about it, maybe I really wronged Yang Lei back then."

"So that's how it is."

Yang Lin let out a long breath, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. Whether Yang Feng liked Yang Lei, whether Yang Lei was related to Old Master's death, or whether Mistress Yang wrongly accused Yang Lei was no longer important, Yang Lin did not care about them anymore, and he was too lazy to worry about them.

"Let bygones be bygones, and let it be bygones. "With me in the Yang Family compound, no one can think about having any ideas about the Yang Family compound."

Seeing Yang Lin's confident look, Mistress Yang could not help but smile, it seemed that she had chosen the right person. With such a powerful person in charge of the Yang Family compound, not only Yang Feng, but also the bandits would not dare to have any ideas about the Yang Family compound.

"Are you really going to sell horses?"

"Yes, I really am going to sell horses."

"Is there a need to sell horses? Our family does not lack money. "

"How much can the Yang family earn in a year? After so many years, did the Yang Family have any big developments? Only business could rapidly develop. "You don't want the Yang Family compound to go on like this, do you?"

"But do we need to build another Yang Family?"

This really stunned Yang Lin. Yang Lin didn't even plan to build another Yang Family Manor, that was just an excuse. Should he tell his wife his real purpose? He thought for a moment. Since they were family, he didn't mind telling him a little.

"Madam, have you ever heard of the prophecy 'The Heavens are dead, The Heavens are dead, The Yellow Emperor is standing, And the Age of One is sixty. The world is glorious'?"

"I've heard of it. Many of us know about it."

"Do you know what these prophecies mean?"

"I don't know."

"Let me tell you, these words mean the death of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the new dynasty. The time limit is sixty years, and next year is sixty years. So I expect the world to fall into chaos next year, so we have to make preparations. "

"Ah …" Will there really be chaos? "

Mistress Yang was shocked and her expression tensed up. A big landowner like the Yang Family Compound hoped that the world would be at peace. Once the world was in chaos, the rich people would be the first to be affected. If the poor rebelled, wouldn't the Yang Family courtyard be divided?

"If what you said is true, then you should not have left Yang Family Manor."

"Since great chaos has already become unavoidable, we must think of a way to turn the situation into something active. Although this was a disaster, it was also an opportunity! "I am going to organize an army to help the imperial government pacify this rebellion and to give peace to the people."

"Ah …"

Mistress Yang raised her head in astonishment and stared fixedly at Yang Lin, as if she did not recognize him. Now she finally understood that Yang Lin wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world to rise up. If he helped the imperial government pacify the rebellion, he would definitely get a position. No wonder he didn't put the Yang Family Courtyard in his eyes.

"It seems that you are quite ambitious, but what if you go to pacify the rebellion, what will happen to the Yang family's compound?"

"Mistress, don't worry. I will definitely arrange the Yang Family's compound properly. I won't let you and Yang Juan get hurt."

"In other words, you have already planned everything. Can you tell me when you started planning? "

Hearing what Mistress Yang said, Yang Lin couldn't help but smile. Ever since he was born into this era, he had been planning in his heart. It was only the beginning, and the real plan was yet to come. Seeing the Madame's anxious look, Yang Lin felt that she was becoming more and more adorable.

"Since the first time I saw Madame."

"Ah …" What are you talking about? It's getting late, I need to rest too. You should go see Yang Juan. "

Mistress Yang hurriedly stood up, her heart thumping wildly as her gaze became a little misty. She didn't even dare to look at Yang Lin. She hurriedly put away the needle and thread, and then held the small box in her hands before calling out to the little girl outside.

"Yang Yun, Yang Yue, escort the old master out."

"..."

Yang Juan's small courtyard was just across the street from Lady Yang's courtyard. After crossing the road in the middle of the inner chamber, they arrived at her small courtyard. Hearing Yang Yun and Yang Yue's shouts, Yang Mei and Yang Tao hurriedly came forward with lanterns in their hands, welcoming Yang Lin to the second floor.

"Madam, the old master is here."

Yang Mei and Yang Peach had already changed their names and started to address Yang Juan as' Madam '. Yang Lin walked into Yang Juan's room. Yang Juan hurriedly stood up, appearing very reserved. Her face was as red as if she was drunk. The two maidservants hurriedly poured some water for Yang Lin and then retreated.

Yang Juan was the only one left in her room. She was so embarrassed that even her neck was red. Holding a handkerchief in her hand, she kept twisting it, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Yang Lin looked seriously at Yang Juan. He saw that she was wearing a tight red dress, which even revealed her snow-white skin. Her entire body was sparkling and translucent like jade, smooth and tender, almost boneless.

Beneath her slender jade neck, her low neckline was faintly exposed. She stood tall, reflecting a pair of beautiful snow-white breasts. Under the light of the candlelight, they looked crystal clear.

She had soft hair, and her face was like a flower. She was beautiful and charming, revealing an intoxicating appearance. Her large eyes were bewitching and smiling, her black eyes were as clear as autumn water, the water covered by the mist surrounding the ground, and her charming little mouth was slightly raised, her cherry lips were rosy, and her red lips were slightly opened, making people drool. She was mesmerizing, her seductive eyes were like silk, half open and half shut, as if she wanted to seduce someone.

"Sit down, don't stand."

Looking at Yang Juan's nervous expression, Yang Lin could not help but smile, but he felt a little hesitant in his heart. This Yang Juan was only seventeen years old. If she was in the modern world, she would still be a high school student. However, she had already become his wife. For a while, Yang Lin still wasn't used to it.

"You sit down too."

Yang Juan sat down obediently. At the same time, she did not forget to tell Yang Lin to sit as well, but her voice was as quiet as a mosquito's. Yang Lin was stunned for a moment. He slowly walked to Yang Juan and sat down beside her. The sound of her hurried breathing became louder and louder in Yang Lin's ears, causing his heartbeat to speed up.

"Yang Juan, do you like me?"

"Yes."

Yang Juan nodded, and her pretty face turned even redder.

"Mm …"

The courtyard was very quiet, and the sound could be heard from very far away. It was as if he was in a secluded place in a dark night where no one could be seen. He slowly opened his arms, and in front of him was a boundless darkness, as if the world was vast and boundless.

In the quiet Yang Mansion, it was very quiet.

She suddenly saw the few roses in the yard. The flowers had already bloomed, greedily basking in the spring dew, enjoying the warm sunlight. There were golden stamens in the middle of the petals, and pollen stuck to the tips of the stamens, exuding an intoxicating fragrance. A swarm of bees buzzed and busied, and butterflies flew all around, accompanied by lovely roses. The wind was blowing and the roses were swaying in the wind.

Her face was flushed red as if she could still see the beads of sweat on her skin, but she still didn't stop. Perhaps her body was too tired to forget everything.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Beside her, there was a faint and familiar smell. It turned out that after his tiredness, the desire in his heart had become even more deep and unforgettable. Little by little, it was carved into his heart and could no longer be wiped away. She still had her eyes closed, but there was a faint smile on her lips. Then, think, think...

A bright lily bloomed on the clean white bedsheet.
