Su Qingluo’s brows furrowed, sensing a foreboding feeling.

From the faint coughing, she could tell that the woman inside the sedan had been plagued by unresolved worries for years, leading to a depressed mood that eventually turned into illness.

The Duke of Zhen’s Mansion was prestigious and wealthy. How could she, as the lady of the house, be so troubled and melancholic that it made her ill?

“Yin’er, go and find out more about the Princess as soon as possible.”

Though she had been mistakenly replaced and separated from her birth parents for nine years, her blood ties and affection for them remained unbroken.

“Alright!”

With a new task, Little Kingfisher joyfully fluttered its small wings and flew away at great speed.

The small sedan followed the crowded stream of people up the mountain, arriving at the back entrance of Foshou Temple.

The accompanying maid lifted the curtain, helping a refined and elegant lady step out from the sedan.

The temple supervisor personally came out to greet her, leading her into the Hall of Great Strength to listen to the abbot’s sermon.

After reciting the sutras, offering incense, and donating money for lamp oil, the supervisor showed her to the guesthouse in the back courtyard to rest.

The maid supported the lady as they entered the courtyard, stopping at the stone table beneath the Sophora tree.

The lady looked satisfied with the environment in the courtyard, leaning on the stone table as she sat down. The maid hurried to the side room, quickly brewing some fresh tea and placing it on a tray on the stone table.

“Mother, you must be tired from the journey. Rest in the side room for a while.”

A young nobleman with a bold and upright demeanor entered from outside the courtyard, walking to the stone table to sit with his mother and personally poured her a cup of tea.

She took a sip of tea and chuckled, “I’m not tired. The air in the courtyard is fresh. I’ll sit here for a while.”

“Mother, aren’t you enduring too much hardship by staying in the temple alone?”

The young nobleman’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked around the small courtyard and let out a deep sigh.

“I’m fine.”

Madam Ye Xue’e smiled gently, “You should worry more about yourself, Jinyu. The Autumn Martial Arts Examination is approaching. Don’t delay any longer. Go back as soon as possible.”

Lin Jinyu shook his head in disappointment, “Mother, I’ll stay with you for a few days. The martial arts exam won’t begin until early September. There’s still half a month left, so I’ll have enough time to return by the end of the month.”

“You are the firstborn grandson and rightful heir of the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion. Your words and actions represent not only the younger generation of the Lin Clan but also the Mansion.”

Ye Xue’e did not quite agree, “The Old Master and the Duke have placed great expectations on you. Even if the direct descendants of the Lin Clan cannot serve in the army and bring glory to the family, you must set an example for our fellow clansmen. Strive to become the Martial Arts Champion and be worthy of their honor.”

“I know, Mother.”

Lin Jinyu felt a surge of heroism rise within him, “I will seize the position of Martial Arts Champion and cleanse the Lin Clan of the disgrace brought upon them by imperial power.”

“Hush, lower your voice!”

Ye Xue’e was startled and hurriedly stopped him, “Child, there are many prying eyes and ears in the temple. You must be cautious. If your words were heard by others, it would bring trouble upon us.”

Lin Jinyu was not concerned, “Everyone around us is one of our own. I have already made arrangements. No outsiders will get close.”

“Nevertheless, you should still be careful when speaking outdoors.”

Ye Xue’e smiled and scolded, “You’re sixteen years old, it’s time for you to be betrothed. If you don’t behave more sensibly, which young lady would dare marry you?”

“I don’t want to get betrothed.”

Lin Jinyu’s handsome face darkened as he instinctively retorted, “I don’t want to end up like Father, trapped in a gloomy and unsuccessful life, marrying a group of concubines, and wasting my time.”

“Jinyu, your father also had his own difficulties.”

Ye Xue’e’s eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion, “Back then, he too won the Martial Arts Champion in the Autumn Martial Arts Examination. At that time, he was so carefree and passionate, enjoying the finest of clothes and horses. He won many honors and captured the hearts of countless young ladies in the Capital City.”
