Plotting for the Throne Chapter 7

She was still sleepy, so she went back to bed and lay down with her clothes on. Thomas Lin rolled over and hugged her. She was aloof and didn't like to be close to others, but now she cherished this little stove very much. She hugged this little stove and fell asleep in a short while. The brother and sister lay on the bed and slept soundly without any image.

Evelyn Lin woke up near noon. She was awakened by hunger, her stomach was burning. The little one in her arms was sleeping soundly and snoring. Evelyn Lin got out of bed quietly and opened the door. Coral was standing outside: "Miss, you are awake. Breakfast and lunch are out of date. The small kitchen has always prepared them. Let them serve them now."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Weiler went into the room to wash up. She hadn't slept for such a long time in a while and her head hurt a little. Coral combed her hair. Thomas Lin also woke up and ran over with sleepy eyes: "Sister!" Her soft nasal voice was so cute.

"You're awake now. You must be hungry. I've asked someone to get lunch. Sit down and wake up." After she thoughtfully tidied his clothes, Thomas Lin nodded and sat obediently on the chair, looking at her.

Lunch came up quickly, and the brother and sister ate very smoothly. The rule of the Lin family has always been not to talk while eating or sleeping. After lunch, Thomas Lin told her about the interesting stories at her grandfather's house these days. Evelyn Lin listened very carefully. She cherished everyone in this family very much. She didn't want to make the same mistake again after making the same mistake once. Now everyone appeared vividly in front of her. She was already very satisfied. Compared with them, everything else was unimportant.

"It seems that you have caused a lot of trouble to your grandfather and others these days." Evelyn Lin touched his head lovingly. Thomas Lin felt a little embarrassed. He was still young and used to have a good relationship with his sister, but today seemed a little different. Well, how should I put it? Better than before, closer. Children have a memory of three days. They will remember people who are good to them, and then be better to others.

"Your maternal relatives all love you and let you run around as much as you want. Now that you are back in Beijing, you can't be so indulgent anymore. You must pick up your studies. Grandfather, father, and elder brother are all top-ranked students in the imperial examinations, and grandfather is a Jinshi in two examinations. Even if you are not the best, you must not bring disGrace Lin to the family tradition. Moreover, reading makes people wise. I hope you can distinguish right from wrong and not waste your time."

She had never said these words to Thomas Lin before. Now seeing how smart and cute he was, and thinking of the young man who was so high-spirited and handsome on the battlefield and his tragic death in the end, Evelyn Lin's eyes were filled with tears.

"I understand. I will study hard." Thomas Lin bit his lip, his small face as big as a palm was full of pity, which made Evelyn Lin feel sorry for him: "Okay, you just came back today, and your father and mother are not at home. You should go and pay your respects to your grandmother. After paying your respects, go back and have a good rest. You can study again in two days. You have to remember that nothing is more important than your health. Don't be too lazy, and don't overdo it." Thomas Lin nodded, tidied his clothes, and went to his grandmother's yard alone.

Although Sylvia's status in the Lin family is not important, it is not insignificant either. The brothers and sisters never neglect their filial piety.

Half an hour later, a message came from outside, Coral said: "Miss, the second young master left the old lady's Jing'an Courtyard and returned to his Muchen Courtyard."
