After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

"Sister Huazhu." Lin Qingyao frowned and called in a low voice. Her gentle tone showed her weakness. Coupled with her pale face, anyone who looked at her would feel distressed.

Huazhu was one of the eldest girls around the old lady. She was a few years older than Lin Qingyao. Lin Qingyao always called her sister, and they were very close friends.

Huazhu looked at Lin Qingyao, his eyes full of distress.

"It's windy outside. Second lady, please go in quickly. The old lady has been talking about you."

Lin Qingyao nodded, and as soon as he took a step, he staggered, Huazhu quickly helped him with his eyes and hands.

"Thank you for your help, Sister Huazhu."

Lin Qingyao was helped into Xinyuan Hall from the left and right, and coughed a few times symbolically when entering.

"Old madam, the second young lady is here."

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Qingyao saw these familiar figures and was moved again. Except for her third aunt Fang Yueru, Lin Qingrou's mother, Fang Yueru was certainly involved in the things Lin Qingrou did.

Lin Qingyao's grandfather Lao Zhongyonghou was one of the heroes who conquered the country with the late emperor. Although his grandmother Fang's family background was not obvious, she was also born in a scholarly family. When he married his grandfather, he was just an unknown military general. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he named his grandfather the Marquis of Zhongyong and enjoyed the hereditary title. It was a blessing after all the hardships, and the two had a deep relationship.

The old lady sat at the top, looked at Lin Qingyao kindly, and waved to her, "Second girl, come and sit next to grandma."

Huazhu and Qiuyue helped Lin Qingyao sit down on the right side of the old lady. Lin Qingyao called softly: "Grandma."

The old lady held her hand and stroked the back of her hand with her other hand, "Second girl, why do you look so bad?"

"Grandma, my granddaughter is fine. She just fell into the water and contracted the wind and cold. She will have to nurse for a few more days." Lin Qingyao said in a weak tone.

She didn't want her grandmother to worry, but in order to punish Lin Qingrou today, she had to pretend to be pitiful and make her grandmother feel bad.

Although it was impossible to get rid of Lin Qingrou directly today, at least she had to be punished to temporarily eliminate the hatred in her heart.

"If it weren't for finding out why you fell into the water, grandma wouldn't be willing to bother you to come here."

The old lady sighed. This matter must come to an end today. Although they are all her granddaughters, she will never tolerate killing sisters in the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Yan, the Marquis of Zhongyong, who was sitting on the left side of the old lady, said anxiously: "Yao'er, what happened that night? How could you fall into the water when you are so good?"

Lin Qingyao's eldest uncle, Lin Yanting, was the eldest son and inherited the title of Marquis of Zhongyong from his grandfather. His eldest aunt, Yan, was the legitimate daughter of the old Marquis Ningyuan, who was also one of the heroes who conquered the country with the late emperor.

Yan is usually a gentle person and loves Lin Qingyao very much, but her daughter Lin Qingwan is still locked in the room. Although she believes that her daughter will not push Yao'er into trouble, she is also very anxious at the moment.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so anxious? Aren't we here just to find out the truth? Mother will naturally ask Er Yatou later."

The corners of Fang Yueru's lips raised unconsciously. She was not panicked at all. Lin Qingyao listened to Rou'er in everything, and with the testimony of Lin Qingyao's personal maid Lianxiang, Lin Qingwan must be punished in the end, and her Rou'er would be able to enjoy the feast. benefits.

Fang Yueru is the only daughter of her grandmother's concubine, and she can also be considered her grandmother's niece.

My grandmother's concubine married a wealthy businessman. It stands to reason that Fang Yueru had a high profile to marry into the Hou family, but her third uncle Lin Yanming was just a concubine and became a minor official in the Hanlin Academy, so it was considered a good match.

Grandma still takes good care of her niece. Fang Yueru is a sweet-tongued person. Coupled with Lin Qingrou, who is the best at deceiving sympathy, the third wife still has a certain status in grandmother's heart.

So even though Lin Qingrou was still locked in the room, Fang Yueru was not worried about what would happen next.

Concubine Zhang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Yan, winked at her mother-in-law and shook her head gently, signaling her not to be impatient.

The eldest son, Lin Yinglei, is the legitimate son of Lin Qingyao's eldest uncle, and is known as the Crown Prince of Zhongyong Hou. The crown prince's concubine, Zhang, is the legitimate granddaughter of the Taifu and the niece of Concubine Zhang. She has a prominent family background.

Mrs. Zhang had just married into the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. She was generous, decent, kind, beautiful and intelligent, and everyone in the family had a good impression of her.

"My mother just expressed concern for the second sister, third aunt, why do you say that?" The fourth girl, Lin Qingyi, expressed her injustice for Yan.

Lin Qingyi is the concubine of Dafang and the daughter of his side wife Bai.

Bai is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War. She and Yan were married to Marquis Zhongyong by the emperor. Both of them were knowledgeable and reasonable people and disdained fighting in the inner court. They got along well in the Marquis' Mansion over the years.

Yan was also a gentle mistress and never felt sorry for them. Lin Qingyi was naturally very close to her aunt.

Lin Qingyi usually didn't care much about these things. Most of the time, she just watched the excitement, but when it came to the big house, she was in the forefront.

Lin Qingyi had long disliked this third aunt. She acted tyrannically and dared to say anything just because she was her grandmother's niece.

"Yi'er, don't be rude to your elders."

Although Bai didn't like Fang Yueru, she was the elder after all. If she didn't say anything, Yi'er would inevitably be said to be disrespectful.

Fang Yueru glared at the third concubine, Liu Shi, and her daughter, the fifth girl, Lin Qinghan, who were sitting next to them. Useless things can never be of help.

Mrs. Liu was originally the daughter-in-law of Lin Qingyao's third uncle, with a timid temperament. Fang Yueru saw that she was easy to handle and stayed out of trouble, so he didn't make things too difficult for her. After giving birth to Lin Qinghan, she made her a concubine.

The fifth girl, Lin Qinghan, could only be considered pretty. She inherited Liu's timid and timid temperament. She was obedient to Lin Qingrou and had a relatively low sense of presence.

In such a scene, the two of them naturally lowered their sense of presence and dared not say anything.

Li Linglan, who was sitting next to Lin Qingyao, exchanged glances with his daughter, said nothing, and watched everything that happened quietly.

"Okay, shut up!" The old lady had a headache listening to what they said to each other, and just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.

"Draw a screen and let those girls in."

"Yes, old lady." Huaping heard the words and walked out of the inner room.

Lin Qingrou, we are going to meet again.

Lin Qingyao took a deep breath and prepared to welcome the arrival of her enemy.

Huaping led a few people in, and the first thing Lin Qingyao saw was the eldest girl Lin Qingwan.

Another person she owed in her previous life, a person who was so kind to her, yet she listened to Lin Qingrou's instigation, quarreled with her eldest sister, and alienated her.

Lin Qingwan walked softly and remained dignified and beautiful even after being imprisoned for two days, with a consistent smile on her face.

Feeling Lin Qingyao's hot gaze, Lin Qingwan also looked at her with firm eyes, as if telling her to believe me.

Seeing such a big sister, Lin Qingyao felt even more guilty, tears almost bursting out of her eyes. In her previous life, she didn't believe her big sister, which caused her to be punished, and her hatred for Lin Qingrou deepened.
