Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!

Chapter 161

"When people get old, their legs and feet are not as flexible as when they were young."

Mrs. Lin was sitting under the bamboo grove, with Lin Yunwan beside her.

She asked about Lin Yunwan's past experiences in the countryside: "It snows heavily in winter, what do you and the two old servants eat?"

"Those villagers and hunters, do you often come and go? Is there any old gentleman in the countryside who hides from the world?"

Is this suspicious of her?

Lin Yunwan was vigilant, but her answers were fluent, and she didn't make a single mistake.

Mrs. Lin nodded, and stopped asking after a few questions.

She smiled and said to Lin Yunwan: "I heard that you offered an everlasting lamp for your mother in the Ci'en Temple? The weather is hot, so it will be difficult to go out in the future. Let's go and see your mother."

Lin Yunwan got up and knelt: "Yes."

Taking Xiruo with me, I went to the treasure hall to look at the ever-burning lamps, and went to add sesame oil.

Madam Lin's smile faded, and she asked Mother Fan, "What do you think?"

Sister Fan shook her head: "I can't see any flaws."

Mrs. Lin said calmly: "Outstanding in appearance, well-educated and reasonable, the house cannot raise such a child with careful education..."

Mammy Fan nodded in agreement: "The eldest sister who is married is not as good as Miss Yunwan."

It's about the eldest daughter of the grand master of the Lin family, who is married very well now, and has a very good reputation in her husband's family. Almost everyone praises her, and she has given the entire Lin family a good reputation.

Mother Fan said again: "Didn't you say that the two old servants who take care of the girl are also quite literate? The girl may have a difficult life in the country, but I don't think the knowledge may be poor."

Mrs. Lin thought for a while, and said: "You have never met Yun Wan's mother."

Mother Fan asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Mrs. Lin said with complicated eyes: "Nine out of ten girls are not as good as her. Although she came from a merchant and doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is a good housekeeper. It's a pity... I don't have such a blessing."

I don't know if it means that Yunwan's mother is not blessed, or that the Lin family is not blessed.

Mother Fan thought for a moment, then said: "Maybe the girl is just like the former second wife, she is as smart, she can learn everything quickly, and she can understand everything at once."

"Maybe……"

Mrs. Lin bowed her head and said to herself: "I hope I'm overthinking."

Mother Fan knew her concerns, so she said, "Maybe the second master just offended someone, and I don't know it yet. I shouldn't have said something. The second master is more than shrewd, but he is not as mature as the first master."

Mrs. Lin said: "You are confused. Offending people is also a skill. As you said, he is a good player in the camp, but he has worked hard to earn a good reputation for himself. Normally, no one can offend. Same, eyelids are too shallow...the most useless."

Mother Fan laughed and said, "You are so impolite! If you say that, Second Master, he will be annoyed again."

Mrs. Lin stopped talking.

What's the use of being upset?The second son is like that.

Her face gradually turned cold, and she was thinking in her heart that the one who benefited the most from Ling Xiang's affairs was her granddaughter Yun Wan.But Yunwan doesn't seem to have that much ability, she found Ling Xiang who was thousands of miles away, and even sent her to the Temple of Mercy.

But Ling Xiang was not so bold as to attack the entire Lin family, which meant that they just wanted to take advantage of her birthday to target the second wife.

Who did the second brother offend...

Or is it really just a coincidence?

Mrs. Lin laughed secretly, where are there so many coincidences?

Sister Fan came over to persuade her: "Old Madam, there is no bad result at all. Don't think too much about it. Aren't the Second Master and the Lin Mansion all fine?"

Mrs. Lin got used to being cautious when she was in charge of the house, so she said, "Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years."

"Let's go, let's go back to the carriage first. You send someone to find Yunwan, and let her come back after watching the ever-burning lights."

Mammy Fan sent a articulate little maid to pass on the message.

Lin Yunwan and Xiruo arrived in the treasure hall.

The weather is hot, and the place where the lanterns are kept is even hotter. Except for the guarding monks, no one else is there.

Xi Ruo gave the money and invited the other party out.

Two people are talking inside.

"Girl, I think the old lady seems to be suspicious of you."

Lin Yunwan also noticed it herself, but she didn't worry about it, she said: "...the old lady is just very suspicious of whether I have recruited people in the countryside, rather than completely suspicious of my identity."

If Lin Huabin dared to do such a thing as stealing a beam, Madam Lin wouldn't even dare to think about it!

But Lin Yunwan has other worries.

She said to Xiruo: "Fortunately, I didn't rely on the old lady from the beginning." If she points to the old lady to help her decide the marriage, it probably won't end well.

"What do you mean girl?"

Xi Ruo frowned, her mind was spinning slowly and she couldn't understand.

Lin Yunwan said indifferently: "Do you think the old lady has the slightest intention to intervene?"

"Obviously knowing that the master and his wife are a wolf couple, they will not find a good marriage for Miss Lin. The old lady will at best not let them treat Miss Lin too harshly in the marriage. But she will not help Miss Lin out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Lin Yunwan could also think of the reason, and sighed: "It's not easy to choose a husband and son-in-law for a girl. It's really troublesome to choose the right person, inquire about the family background of the other party in detail, especially inquire about the temperament of the in-laws, and then go to the sixth ceremony."

"The granddaughter who is married by himself must be given a decent dowry."

"There are so many grandchildren in the Lin family, it's impossible for the old lady to only care about one and ignore the others. There will always be daughters-in-law, sons, and grandchildren who don't like it, and the old lady has a reputation for favoring one another."

Anyway, she's a hot potato right now.

You can only rely on yourself.

Xiruo said with emotion: "Fortunately, it's you, if..." She glanced at the long-burning lamp without words.If Miss Lin was real, how miserable would it be?I don't know which is better, alive or dead.

The little maid sent by Mrs. Lin urged them to go back quickly.

Lin Yunwan took Xiruo back to the place where the carriage of the Lin residence was parked. She and Xiruo were in the carriage, and Mrs. Lin was with Madam Fan.

When we got to the street, it happened to be blocked for a while.

Lin Yunwan asked Xiruo to get out of the car and tell Mrs. Lin, "Miss wants to pick out some jewelry and embroidery thread by herself..."

Mrs. Lin took care of this kind of thing loosely, with so many servants watching, nothing would happen in broad daylight.

She nodded and said yes, and said to Xi Ruo: "Take care of your girl. Don't let anyone run into you."

Xiruo lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Lin left enough manpower for the carriage behind, and went back by herself first.

Lin Yunwan and Xiruo went for a stroll, picked out some jewelry in their veiled hats, and found a teahouse to rest when they were tired.

Sitting upstairs, they could see the street downstairs. It was a shop that Dong Shuangshuang's husband, Lu Rong, often went to. There was a wine shop in front and a gambling house in the back.

Dong Shuangshuang said that there are many helpers there, they are vicious looking, and they are the most vicious in their attacks... I don't know who is behind them, but the Lu family can't afford to provoke such people.Even if they beat and disabled Lu Rong, the Lu family would not be able to sue even if they wanted to go to the Yamen.
