Chapter 323 - 304: Talk to Linyue-IV

Li Lian didn't know how to break the news but she can't stay idle watching Linyue betrayed other. It could stay for the first few years but what about the rest? Will Linyue have to live in the lies Suzheng fed her with? Li Lian hoped Linyue could find the fact on her own as she didn't want to be the one putting doubt but there was no one who would do that.

Remembering how Mrs. Jin quickly covered for Suzheng, Li Lian could tell Mrs. Jin didn't think much of her son's infidelity and even supported to hide it.

Li Lian replied, "I was wondering, it's often heard how women would feel distrust when their husband rarely came home." drawled Li Lian to find Linyue still with the smile as she heard her continue, "Does that ever happen to you? Feeling that maybe something wrong happened." she added to see the older woman releasing her hold from the cup and leaned behind.

"That happened before in the beginning of our marriage," smiled Linyue who seemed to be remembering the memory, "Because we met differently I was suspicious but I learned that it's wrong as marriage came with trust I do not want to distrust Suzheng."

The fact correspond to Li Jun Wei's words. Linyue seemed to believe in Suzheng a lot and Li Lian could tell seeing how that even when Li Lian mentioned how her husband rarely at home and Linyue didn't pay any attention at it.

Being outright wouldn't be good in the house Li Lian also still need to be careful about everything happening around her. The best she could do was to make Linyue notice Suzheng's infidelity by dropping subtle remarks.

Li Lian and Linyue  continued to spare some more times at the room before they came out for Li Lian to meet the plump lady who at the same time walked in front of the door at then moment they stepped out of the room, "Auntie." called Linyue and the woman smiled at her before her face turning to also smile at Li Lian.

Li Rin Zu stepped forward, catching their hands on hers and greeted with her wide smile, "Oh dears, you are here! I've been searching for you." said Li Rin Zu whose eyes then stopped at the earrings Linyue wore. As it was in a shape that curve and with blue stonework it stood out with Linyue's short hairstyle. "That's a very beautiful earrings you have that,"

"Suzheng gave me it for me," replied Linyue and Li Rin Zu nodded as if acknowledging to say,

"He had been a doting son and husband, you must be happy." Linyue pulled her lips to smile and thanked the woman for her words when the second aunt turn her eyes at Li Lian, "I've been waiting for you to come home, I heard that you were busy for works. If you do not have my prior arrangement would you like to come with me?"

The sky outside was still bright, signaling Li Lian that there would be hours until Li Jun Wei came home. Li Lian agreed to the woman's words because she could tell that Li Rin Zu was different than Mrs. Jin. Although she can't be too sure at anything.

On the way, Li Rin Zu looked outside to put a stop to her walk and squinted her eyes at the figure riding the horse. Linyue also went to Li Rin Zu's side, curiously to know who was riding the horse like she did, to speak, "It's Long Hua."

"That boy is still good at riding horse despite requesting to stop himself. I almost thought he would be a professional horseback rider." said Li Rin Zu as she watched her son riding the horse with a smile.

Linyue in receiving the news had her eyes shifted on Li Rin Zu with a surprise expression hinted on her face, "He stopped the school too?"

"Yes years ago," Li Rin Zu confirmed, and Li Lian watched the older woman placing her hand to her cheeks she then shook her head, "As a mother I want him to follow his father's steps becoming a person to the company like the rest but he does love horseback riding more than studying. I don't know what make him stopped the schools. It was a sudden change that surprises me. I even thought he was possessed."

"When did it happened?" asked Linyue continued to ask as if interested in it. Li Lian didn't know that Long Hua and Linyue was a friend. Seeing Linyue's consideration it did feels that the woman know much and care of the younger grandson.

"Years ago, I don't remember exactly when it happened," hummed Li Rin Zu when she recalled and hurried to say, "I think a year or maybe half a year before your marriage."

Li Lian was watching the horse running, seeing the color of the horse when she heard Li Rin Zu's reply and her face turned to notice the smile on Linyue's lips faltered for a good one minute before she realized Li Lian looked at her and quickly fixed her smile that didn't go well.

"Which reminds me, tomorrow we will be holding the autumn games, it's eager to make us know who would win, right? I hope my son could participate this time."

Li Lian who noticed Linyue's expression kept her thoughts on her own mind, "Long Hua rarely play in the game?" asked Li Lian, if Long Hua had the skill to be a professional horseback rider, he should be able to win thought Li Lian.

"He said it would be unfair." Li Rin Zu sweetened her words when in truth her son was plain lazy to have a race which why he would rather watch than play.

When the three ladies continued to resume their walk, Li Lian being perceptive could tell Linyue had her mind up on clouds as her lips was kept rarely open to speak. 

It would be rude for Li Lian to intrude Linyue's private life and she decided to let Linyue know, "If you need someone to speak to, I will be hear to lend an ear."

Linyue widened her eyes slightly to then offer Li Lian a kind smile, "You are very kind Li Lian, I will keep that in mind." replied the older woman who prefer to keep her own thought to herself.
