While in her delirious state, Lin Qingyuan heard the voice next to her ear speaking huskily, “But I’m very happy to be with you now. I’m grateful to Royal Uncle for bestowing me this marriage…”
…
Lin Qingyuan returned to her natal home. To be more precise, she escaped to her natal home.
Madam Lin was taking care of her young son and was delighted to see her daughter home. Nevertheless, she said reproachfully, “Why didn’t you get someone to inform us in advance that you’ll be returning?”
Lin Qingyuan hugged her mother’s arm childishly. “It was a last-minute decision of mine. Are you not happy to see me home, Mother?”
“What silly words are you spouting? Why shouldn’t I be happy about you coming home? It’s just that you’re married now and you shouldn’t act as stubbornly as you used to.” Madam Lin noticed that her daughter’s round face was now slightly sharper. She paused a moment before asking gently, “Were you bullied in your husband’s household? Does Long Xuan treat you well?”
Madam Lin did not really know her son-in-law well. She had only met him a few times, though Qingyuan’s father thought highly of him. When he found out that His Majesty was bestowing the hand of his daughter to Long Xuan, he was overjoyed about it and wanted to ship his daughter over to Long Xuan without delay.
When she first met Long Xuan, she did get the impression he was a good man.
He was at least good-looking and had a good character. He was also very polite.
However, her daughter made a huge fuss before the wedding and was not willing to get married.
Unfortunately, the marriage had been decreed in the imperial edict and Qingyuan was not allowed to reject it, which was why she had gotten married unhappily.
Despite that, aside from the traditional routine of returning to the natal home after the wedding, she had not come home before this.
She knew her daughter’s temperament well. If Qingyuan had suffered there, she would have come running home crying at the first moment.
However, Qingyuan had not done so.
With that in mind, Madam Lin comforted herself by thinking that Long Xuan must be treating her daughter quite well.
Now, she was a little unsure.
It pained her to see her daughter looking skinnier than before.
Lin Qingyuan leaned against her mother’s shoulder and shook her head. “I wasn’t bullied at all. My mother-in-law treats me very well.”
“How about Long Xuan?” Madam Lin asked seriously when she noticed Lin Qingyuan specifically did not mention her son-in-law.
“Well…” An odd look flashed in Lin Qingyuan’s eyes. “He treats me well too.”
If he was able to restrain his urges, she would not have run away to her natal home. Her mother would not have ended up worrying about her today, thinking that she ran home because she was bullied.
“Really?” Madam Lin was not entirely convinced.
“It’s true.” Lin Qingyuan sighed.
Lin Qingyuan did not look like she was lying and Madam Lin finally stopped worrying. She suddenly remembered something and lowered her voice as she asked, “Bai He told me that you have consummated your marriage. Is that true?”
Lin Qingyuan’s face turned red when she heard this. She cursed Bai He in her heart. What a big mouth she had!
However, she could only nod when she saw the concerned look in her mother’s eyes. She answered vaguely, “Yes.”
Madam Lin was delighted. She held Lin Qingyuan’s hand and said, “You’re an adult now. You can’t act all stubborn when faced with problems and lose your temper like a child.”
“Alright.” Lin Qingyuan did not want to continue being lectured by her mother. So, she said, “I’ll go back to my room to rest. Call me when it’s time to eat.”
A strange look appeared on Madam Lin’s face when she heard this. “It’s still morning. Why are you going to sleep? Didn’t you get enough sleep last night? If you want to rest, you should be doing that after lunch.” A thought crossed her mind the moment she said that and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.
When Lin Qingyuan noticed her mother’s awkwardness, she found herself getting embarrassed as well.
Lin Qingyuan did not have enough sleep the night before and needed desperately to make up for it.
She stammered a little before replying, “I can get my rest after lunch.” She yawned as she said that.
