After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 213 Choose a good day

Lin Han pushed open the bamboo gate of the courtyard, and said in a voice filled with the joy of returning home: "Mom."

In the yard, an old woman with a slightly bent back was bending over a field of green, carefully planting vegetables. Hearing the call, she tried to straighten her thin body, but almost lost her balance. Fortunately, the alert little maidservant beside her reached out to help in time and stabilized the old woman.

"Han'er, you're back."

A kind smile bloomed on the old woman's face. The years had carved deep wrinkles on her withered face, each of which hid endless stories.

"Mother, why are you busy with this again? Didn't I tell you to rest more? Now I no longer need you to sell vegetables to make a living. I already have an official position and can receive a salary from the court."

As Lin Han spoke, he took the hoe from his mother, a gentle smile on his face and his eyes full of expectations for the future.

"Mom is free anyway."

The old lady laughed, her eyes full of doting.

She squinted her blurry eyes and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This……"

Seeing this, Lin Han's face was filled with a happy smile, and he introduced: "Mom, this is Bai Wei who I often mentioned to you."

Bai Wei stepped forward lightly, her manners gentle and polite, and bowed deeply to the old woman: "Hello, auntie."

"What a pretty girl! No wonder Lin Han is full of praise for you."

Because of her poor eyesight, Mrs. Wu had to get closer to see clearly, and her words were full of joy and satisfaction.

Bai Wei came closer and carefully helped her sit on the stone bench in the yard: "Aunt, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Lin Han explained softly, "In order to support my studies, my mother worked day and night doing embroidery. Over time, her eyes became worn out by the fatigue."

When Bai Wei heard this, her heart ached.

Although she knew that Lin Han came from a poor family, she never imagined that his life would be so difficult.

A widowed mother supported her son's studies with every bit of her own effort. The hardships she went through are something that not many people can understand.

"Aunt, you've worked hard."

She expressed her feelings affectionately, her tone full of respect and heartache.

Wu's smile was filled with relief, and she waved her hand gently as if to brush away the past hardships. "What's the big deal? Fortunately, my Lin Han has made great efforts. Now he is an official appointed by the court and is about to start a family. My long-awaited wish has finally come true. But sometimes my eyes feel painful as if they were pricked by needles, and I can't sleep at night."

Bai Wei's eyes were gentle and focused. She carefully examined Wu's eyes, and her words were full of concern: "Aunt, if you don't mind, I can try acupuncture to relieve you?"

Seeing this, Lin Han quickly interrupted, her tone full of pride and trust: "Mom, Bai Wei is a great doctor, her skills are amazing!"

"Really? That would be great!"

There was a glimmer of anticipation in Wu's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei deftly pulled out an exquisite silver needle bag from her sleeve. The package was engraved with intricate and elegant patterns, revealing the owner's respect and love for the art of medicine.

She slowly opened the needle bag and stood up. Her technique was skillful and gentle, and each injection seemed to carry healing power.

After the acupuncture treatment, Wu sat quietly and regulated her breathing, with a faint sense of tranquility emanating from her whole body.

Soon, a smile gradually emerged on Mrs. Wu's face, as if a long-drought field was relieved by rain. "You know what, my eyes feel much better now, and the pain has eased a lot."

Bai Wei smiled slightly when she heard this, and after making all the arrangements, she said, "Tomorrow I will prepare some more herbs and make them into long bags for you to apply to your eyes. This will also be helpful in relieving eye pain."

After saying that, she carefully put away the needles and walked towards the kitchen. Her light steps were like a spring breeze, leaving a warm feeling along the way.

"Let me boil some hot water for your eyes. The warm feeling will make you feel more comfortable."

Mrs. Wu watched Bai Wei leave, her heart full of admiration. She nodded, her eyes filled with satisfaction that could not be concealed: "This girl is not only smart, but also so hardworking and capable. She is really filial and sensible."

Lin Han smiled from ear to ear, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "Of course I will be your daughter-in-law in the future."

Mrs. Wu lowered her voice, as if she recalled something, and a trace of deep thought flashed in her eyes: "I heard that her family used to do business. Although both her parents are dead, the family should still have some savings, right?"

Lin Han seemed a little surprised when she heard this, "Mom, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Wu sighed and said earnestly, "I don't think Bai Wei is someone who has suffered too much, and she can still open a medicine store on her own. If she really has some family background, she might be able to help you in your newly started official career. You are just entering the officialdom, and there are many things you need to smooth over. She is alone, who else can she rely on besides you?"

Lin Han was a little displeased, frowning slightly, "Mom, if it's her dowry, it's her private property. How can I, a grown man, have the nerve to stare at my wife's dowry?"

Mrs. Wu quickly waved her hands and explained, "Oh, that's not what I meant. Once you get married, you're a family, and there's no difference between you two."

Lin Han comforted his mother and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. We will take care of our affairs."

Mrs. Wu agreed repeatedly, with a gleam of anticipation in her eyes. "Okay, okay, I won't worry about it. Just get the wedding done quickly so that I can have a grandson sooner, and I'll feel at ease."

Bai Wei came back with hot water, wet a clean cloth gently, and carefully applied it to Wu's eyes.

Afterwards, she chatted with Wu to relieve her boredom, and time passed quietly in their laughter and conversation.

Before leaving, Bai Wei habitually put on an exquisite veil. In order to protect her identity, she was always so cautious in front of others.

Outside the door, Lin Han could not hide her joy, with stars in her eyes, "Wanwan, my mother likes you very much, and she is urging us to get married as soon as possible."

Bai Wei responded with a smile, as gentle as the sunshine in early spring, "Yes, I know."

"I'll find an auspicious day, and once it's decided I'll send out the invitations!"

A trace of worry flashed through Bai Wei's heart. Once the invitation was sent out, Lin Han's marriage news would be made public. Could she still continue to keep her identity secret?

Lin Han seemed to see through her worries and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I received a letter from a good friend in Beijing yesterday, saying that the Song family has announced that you died in Huaiyu Mountain, and no one doubts it."

Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true, Wanwan. I told you before that everything is under control. You always worry too easily."

Bai Wei felt relieved. She nodded lightly and smiled with some relief. "Then I feel relieved."

Lin Han said apologetically: "I have been very busy recently. The mess left by the previous county magistrate needs to be solved one by one. I don't even have time to accompany you."
