After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 68: See an old friend
Lin Luoling always felt that the three fires were related to Young Master Jiang. Young Master Jiang never showed up, so she couldn't ask him. She also couldn't understand what the purpose of the three fires and Prince An's pretending that his cough was getting worse was.
Even when the carriage stopped in front of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, Lin Luoling still couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the matter aside for the time being.
Lifting the car curtain, Lin Luoling's thoughts suddenly turned, and he began to think about how to deal with the people from Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
Zhu Xianzhi reached out to help Lin Luoling.
Lin Luoling pretended to be distressed and said, "My husband's shoulder injury has not healed yet, let Biyou help me."
In fact, let alone letting Zhu Xianzhi touch her, Lin Luoling felt disgusted even if she looked at Zhu Xianzhi for a second longer.
As soon as he entered the Yongning Marquis's residence, the housekeeper Zhou Quan came to greet him and said with a smile: "I heard that the second young master brought the young lady back. Our marquis is very happy. Please invite the second young master and the young lady to meet in the study."
Lin Luoling pretended to be puzzled and said, "When I first got married, you called me Little Madam, and it sounded like I was a concubine who was not allowed to see the light of day. Who told you to call me that?
Since you are going to meet your uncle, you should at least discuss the matter of addressing him."
In her previous life, the masters and servants of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion all called her this. She also asked the Yongning Marquis's wife, who said that this was the rule set by the old marquis when he was alive, and then smiled and said:
"What's the use of addressing? Why bother with these empty words? In the future, Xianzhi will inherit the title of Yongning Marquis, and you will be the wife of Yongning Marquis. Xianzhi has no concubines, so it's just a title in the family. Now that you are in charge of the household, who dares to look down on you?
If anyone dares to disrespect you, tell me and I will tear her skin apart to vent your anger."
At this moment, Lin Luoling felt that the title of "Little Madam" might have been intentional by the wife of the Yongning Marquis. After all, in the heart of the Yongning Marquis, the deceased Zhu Xianrun was her son, and the eldest son.
Or maybe Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi never intended to let her occupy the position of the legal wife for a long time.
Seeing Lin Luoling's gloomy face, housekeeper Zhou Quan was slightly startled.
Zhu Xianzhi frowned, obviously displeased that Lin Luoling was so serious about a name.
Seeing Lin Luoling heading straight for the study of Yongning Marquis, he quickly chased after her and whispered, "Ling'er, it's just a name, you..."
Before Zhu Xianzhi finished speaking, Lin Luoling paused, his eyes were extremely cold, and he interrupted him and said:
"I don't like the title of Madam. If it is the rule of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, I can't go against it. We might as well not get married. It's better to part ways amicably so that I don't feel uncomfortable with the title."
Zhu Xianzhi: ???
Zhu Xianzhi was furious at Lin Luoling's indulgence and was angry that she asked for a divorce or went back to her parents' home without any reason.
I kept cursing in my heart: I really spoiled you and shouldn’t have taken you back!
After Lin Luoling finished speaking, he walked very quickly and headed straight for the study of Marquis Yongning.
The door was pushed open, and Yongning Hou smiled gently and said, "Luo Ling is back?"
When he saw Lin Luoling's sullen face, the smile on Yongning Hou's lips suddenly froze. Then he saw Zhu Xianzhi rushing in, and Yongning Hou frowned and asked:
"Xianzhi, what made Luo Ling angry?"
Lin Luoling said bluntly: "I don't like the title of young lady."
"Because of this matter?" Yongning Hou asked with a smile.
Lin Luoling nodded, Zhu Xianzhi tugged at Lin Luoling's sleeve, and Lin Luoling pulled it back in disgust and moved two steps to the side.
Seeing this, Yongning Hou asked, "What title do you think Luo Ling can satisfy you?"
Lin Luoling said without hesitation: "The servants in the mansion should call me Second Young Madam."
Yongning Hou poured two cups of tea, waved at them and said, "It's just a title. If you like the servants to call you Second Young Madam, just ask them to change it. You must have been in a hurry, and your foreheads are sweating. Have some tea to moisten your throats."
Lin Luoling had been pretending to be spoiled and willful. Seeing that Yongning Hou agreed so easily, she smiled in a fake happiness, bowed to Yongning Hou and said:
"My uncle loves Ling'er, so I brought some gifts in return. I haven't seen my aunt for a while, so I sent my uncle and aunt's gifts to Yunfangyuan first."
Yongning Hou put down the teacup and said, "Well, your aunt has been talking about you these past two days."
After a pause, he added: "Xianzhi, stay and listen to my instruction."
Lin Luoling happily walked out of the study. As soon as the door was closed, Yongning Hou's gentle demeanor disappeared, his face darkened, and he asked, "What does He say about the shop?"
Zhu Xianzhi didn't dare to tell the truth and lied, "I just handed the list of five stores drawn up by my uncle to my mother-in-law, and Jiang Feng, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, said something big. My father-in-law and mother-in-law left in a hurry and didn't tell me what big thing happened.
I waited in the Lin residence for a while, but they didn't come back, so I had no choice but to bring Ling'er back first."
Hearing this, the expression of Yongning Hou eased a little. He said, "Something big has indeed happened in Jingxuzhou. How about this? The day after tomorrow, you go to the Lin Mansion again and ask your mother-in-law which two shops are suitable for you to sell grain?"
Zhu Xianzhi nodded in agreement, and Marquis Yongning then let Zhu Xianzhi leave.
After leaving the study of Marquis Yongning and entering the west courtyard, Zhu Xianzhi wiped the cold sweat beads from his forehead with his sleeve.
When they arrived at Shuxi Pavilion, Chen Yin was instructing the old women and maids who came with the Lin family as dowry to clean the yard.
Dust flew up in the air, Chen Yin waved his hand in front of his face and said, "Second Master, please go to Chunlan Courtyard first. Sister Ling'er will definitely go to Chunlan Courtyard in a while."
Zhu Xianzhi guessed that Lin Luoling must have gone to the East Courtyard first, so he quickly went to Chunlan Courtyard, closed the door and said to Lan Wanshuang: "I brought back the paper money tree. She brought a box of gifts in return. I think she will be here soon."
Lan Wanshuang let out a long sigh and sighed in her heart: I can finally eat something good.
Ever since Zhu Xianzhi fractured his left shoulder bone, Lan Wanshuang had no money left. Although Lady Yongning Marquis subsidized their West Courtyard, it was also well planned.
The master and his servants could eat their fill, but they could seldom see any delicious fish or meat.
It is said that Lin Luoling came out of the study of Yongning Marquis and returned to Shuxi Pavilion. She picked out two pieces of silk with better colors and patterns from the box, gave them to Biyou, and asked Bizhi to get two cans of tea.
She took out the smallest jewelry box from the bottom of the box, which contained a pretty good jade bracelet.
The master and his two servants went to Yunfangyuan.
When Lady Yongning Marquis saw that the colors and patterns of the two pieces of cloth were exactly the same, and then saw the jade bracelet that Lin Luoling took out, her eyes lit up and she liked it very much. She smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. What else do you want to bring back as a gift?"
After chatting for a while, the wife of Marquis Yongning repeatedly invited Lin Luoling to have dinner at Yunfang Courtyard.
Lin Luoling pretended to be stiff and pulled the corners of her mouth, saying: "I came to my aunt's place first when I came back, and I haven't visited my mother-in-law yet."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning smiled knowingly and said, "That's right! In order to prevent your mother-in-law from getting worried, if you have time tomorrow, come sit with your aunt. I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about."
Lin Luoling agreed and took Biyou and Bizhi out of Yunfangyuan.
Biyou whispered, "Young lady, don't you want to go and take a look at those concubines in the East Courtyard?"
Lin Luoling shook her head and said, "No, with the wife of the Marquis of Yongning around, they dare not cause trouble."
After returning to Shuxi Pavilion, Lin Luoling asked Biyou to take two pieces of cloth. She herself took a huge jewelry box and whispered a few words in Chen Yin's ear. Chen Yin nodded and left Bizhi to watch over the gate of Shuxi Pavilion.
The three of them went to Chunlan Courtyard.
Lan Wanshuang held the two pieces of cloth, looked at them left and right, and grinned, "The colors of these two pieces of cloth are quite bright. I'm afraid I can't match such bright materials at my age."
Lin Luoling smiled and said, "This color suits mother-in-law very well. If it is made into ready-made clothes, mother-in-law will definitely look seven or eight years younger when she wears it."
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Yin spoke up at the right time: "By the way, didn't they say before that the Second Young Master had a distant cousin named Rong Shuhua, who was staying in the West Courtyard? How come I haven't seen her before?
Sister Ling'er specially selected a gift for her today and invited her out. I am also curious about what this cousin looks like."
