Chen Yin didn't move a step.

Lin Luoling guessed that Chen Yin must be afraid that Zhu Xianzhi would be beaten up by Zhu Jingzhong because of the return gift, and would be angry, and then ride in the same carriage with her, and do something to hurt her with words or actions.

That's why there is a stalemate.

Lin Luoling pushed aside the carriage curtain and said with a faint smile: "Sister Chen Yin, please don't worry about my health. If I feel uncomfortable, ask the driver to stop the carriage and Sister will give me acupuncture again."

Chen Yin understood the hidden meaning of Lin Luoling's words, and then he put away his displeased look and instructed the driver:

"My adoptive parents know that you are a steady person, so they let you follow Sister Ling'er to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. Sister Ling'er has not recovered from her heart palpitations, so please watch the road carefully and don't let it bump into Sister Ling'er. You need to drive slowly."

The driver held the whip and saluted towards Chen Yin.

Chen Yin then got on the carriage of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. As soon as he got on the carriage, he looked around and saw that this carriage was the one that the wife of the Yongning Marquis usually rode in. He sighed inwardly:

The carriage of the wife of Marquis Yongning has an attractive appearance, but its interior is extremely shabby.

The carriage moved slowly forward. Biyou and Bizhi followed on the left and right sides of the carriage that Lin Luoling was riding in. Behind them followed the maids and old women who came with the dowry from the Lin family. There were so many of them, and their elongated figures were several times more than the two carriages.

Looking at the figure and the car that had gone far away, the wife of the Yongning Marquis immediately looked at the Yongning Marquis with a sad face.

"The dowry that He gave to Lin Luoling was sixty less, but the number of maids and servants that came as a dowry was twice as many as the one listed in the dowry list. Sigh... Lin Luoling's heart palpitations come back frequently, and I don't think she'll recover in a short while.

Not to mention that your problem cannot be solved, even if we only have food for so many maids and servants, I am afraid our mansion will not be able to sustain for ten days or half a month."

When she said this, the wife of Marquis Yongning glanced at Lan Wanshuang coldly and deliberately raised her voice so that Lan Wanshuang could hear it.

"She is originally the daughter-in-law of their second wife, and the return gift should not be paid by us. Considering our brotherly love, I took out the remaining dowry I had and prepared a return gift for Xianzhi.

I was also thinking that we should prepare more gifts for the return visit, to indirectly put pressure on He Shi. If He Shi could deliver the sixty loads of dowry to our house today, we would be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that your second brother would snatch half of it away. "

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning became more and more angry as she spoke, and turned around and said, "The food and drinks that Lin Luoling brought to support the maids have nothing to do with our East Courtyard, and I don't have the spare money to supplement them."

Then he left.

Marquis Yongning pinched his brows, said nothing, and went to the study.

Lan Wanshuang heard it clearly, but acted as if she didn't hear it.

Madam Meng muttered quietly, "It was the Second Master who snatched the return gift, not us. They are so capable, why don't they argue with the Second Master? Why did they say it deliberately for the Second Madam to hear? Bah, bah, bah, what a thing, they think they are such a good person.

If the northern border had not been fighting against the enemy, and the Marquis of Yongning was afraid that the grain escort officers in the capital would come to transport grain, would the Madam be so kind as to arrange a marriage for our second son? And she even wanted the second son to marry the daughter of the Lin family? "

Then, Nanny Meng followed Lan Wanshuang back and said with a worried look:

"If the East Courtyard doesn't take care of the food and drink for the maids brought by Lin's daughter, I'm afraid our West Courtyard won't be able to take care of them for even two days. The gifts that the Second Master snatched away will definitely go to that bitch Zhou."

Madam Meng quickened her pace and asked, "Second Madam, what should we do? Will we let Lin's daughter laugh at us?"

Lan Wanshuang stamped her feet and said, "Why should we be angry with them? If there were no benefits, would the East Court be so kind as to prepare a return gift for Xianzhi? They prepared it willingly, but they didn't get the benefits they wanted, so they were so angry.

You are also an impatient person. If we don't prepare food for the maids and old women who came with the dowry of Lin's daughter, will Lin's daughter starve to death?

hehe……"

Lan Wanshuang sneered and said, "If they really all starved to death, and outsiders didn't know that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion had divided up the family, it would be the treacherous couple in the East Courtyard who would be disgraced, what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Meng smiled and praised Lan Wanshuang.

……

The carriage that came as a dowry to the Lin family didn't look very impressive from the outside, but it was extremely luxurious inside. Zhu Xianzhi stared at it with his slender eyes for a moment and was shocked beyond words.

A light and refreshing fragrance entered Zhu Xianzhi's nose.

Zhu Xianzhi once heard from his friends that there is a type of woman who is born with a natural body fragrance.

He had been with Rong Shuhua for a long time, but he had never smelled the natural body fragrance of a woman on Rong Shuhua.

Rong Shuhua likes to grow peonies and makes the petals of peonies into scented powder and rouge, which have a light and elegant fragrance and are very pleasant to smell.

But it is not as good as the body fragrance emanating from Lin Luoling.

This is incomparable to any other flowers or spices.

Zhu Xianzhi tilted his head to look at Lin Luoling carefully. He saw that Lin Luoling's face was as crystal clear as the morning dew, and her eyes were like stars scattered in the night sky. She was leaning to one side with her hair loosely tied up. Her morbid beauty made people feel pity for her.

More than that, he wanted to press her under him and savor her fragrance to satisfy his irresistible desire for her.

Zhu Xianzhi had never seen such a beautiful woman with such a unique temperament. He only regretted that he had not taken a good look at such a beauty because of too many unexpected things happening before.

Zhu Xianzhi suddenly felt an unbearable heat in his chest and abdomen, his Adam's apple rolled several times, and his mouth was dry. He stared at Lin Luoling for a long while, but could not think of any beautiful words to describe Lin Luoling's beauty and temperament.

I sighed that I had wasted seven years of hard study at Wende Academy.

The interior of the Lin Mansion's carriage was very large. As Zhu Xianzhi quietly moved his body and got closer, Lin Luoling suddenly felt a little crowded. She glanced at Zhu Xianzhi out of the corner of her eye.

His eyes were particularly cold, which did not quench the heat in Zhu Xianzhi's chest and abdomen. Instead, it aroused Zhu Xianzhi's stronger possessive desire.

Zhu Xianzhi licked his slightly dry lips and thought to himself: What a cold beauty!

He smiled innocently and said, "I see that you look better today than before. My mother-in-law will feel more at ease when she sees you.

If you miss your mother so much, we can have dinner at the Lin Residence and then go back to the Marquis Residence. As long as you are happy, that is the best."

Lin Luoling moved his left arm and said indifferently, "Second Young Master, you are pressing on my sleeve."

Zhu Xianzhi lowered his eyes and explained hurriedly: "We haven't had a private conversation since we got married, so..."

Zhu Xianzhi rubbed his hands nervously, moved to the side, and said, "I didn't mean it."

What an honest look, Zhu Xianzhi performed the role to the fullest.

Lin Luoling was amused and closed her eyes as she said, "The Second Young Master has a scent of peony. I have never smelled this scent of peony on my mother-in-law. I wonder how the Second Young Master got such a strong scent of peony?"

Zhu Xianzhi grabbed the sachet hanging on the left side of his waist, secretly sighed, and cursed in his heart, it must be that bitch Rong Shuhua who made this sachet for him on purpose, wanting Lin Luoling to know that there was something going on between them, so that she could take the opportunity to get the position of a concubine and then bring their child back to the mansion...

After a moment of silence, Zhu Xianzhi was just about to think of what to say when the carriage suddenly stopped and the voice of the Lin residence's housekeeper was heard from outside the curtain.

"Our young lady is back. Go and tell the master and the mistress."

Lin Luoling opened her eyes, the curtain was lifted, and Biyou and Bizhi helped her out of the carriage.

She had been thinking all the way that her mother He Jinchun would definitely call her to her room today and ask her about her trip to the Marquis' Mansion.

Even if she didn't say it, given Chen Yin's loyalty to her mother, she would tell her mother privately what she knew and saw.

Lin Luoling didn't want her father and mother to worry about her, and she didn't want to see her mother feeling guilty for not choosing a good husband for her.

Sighing again and again in his heart, Lin Luoling's feet felt heavy, and he entered the Lin Mansion happily surrounded by a group of servants and old women.
