After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 71 Virtual and Real
As soon as Rong Shuhua left, Lin Luoling didn't want to waste time talking to the mother and son, so she asked, "When will mother-in-law set up the table? I'll be there to serve you."
Lan Wanshuang couldn't bear to let Lin Luoling see how poorly she ate, so she pretended to be considerate and said, "Your heart palpitations haven't healed yet, so you must not overwork yourself. Go back to Shuxi Pavilion and have a good rest. It won't cost you a few days to be polite."
Lin Luoling thanked Lan Wanshuang, and then returned to Shuxi Pavilion with Chen Yin.
There was a "bang" sound.
Rong Shuhua's crying stopped abruptly. She looked over with tears in her eyes and saw Zhu Xianzhi walking in with an angry look on his face. Lan Wanshuang also walked into the room with a shudder on her face.
As soon as the door closed, Zhu Xianzhi beat Rong Shuhua up without saying anything. Before leaving, he said with cold eyes, "You'd better behave yourself, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."
Lan Wanshuang stood aside with her arms folded and watched coldly. After Zhu Xianzhi left the room, she stepped forward and grabbed the hairpin that Lin Luoling gave to Rong Shuhua, and said as a matter of course:
"Don't leave your room these days. I'll keep your hairpin for you."
The mother and son returned to the main room. Lan Wanshuang held up the hairpin and looked at it several times. She said unsatisfiedly, "This hairpin looks big, but it's not solid. The paper one says that the bead in the phoenix's mouth is a treasure. Do you know what treasure it is?"
Zhu Xianzhi took a glance and said, "It looks like jasper."
He mocked again: "A silver phoenix with wings spread out and a jade in its mouth. Silver and green are so ugly together."
When Lan Wanshuang heard that it was jasper, her original idea of exchanging the hairpin for money suddenly disappeared. She put it into a brocade box like a treasure and put it away.
"What do you know? How precious is Jasper?"
Nanny Meng came into the room and asked, "Madam, shall we set up the dinner?"
Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi responded at the same time, and Nanny Meng brought two maids to set dinner.
Two bowls of minced meat and vegetable porridge, plus three side dishes, were just placed on the table. When the mother and son picked up their chopsticks and were about to eat, the strong aroma of barbecued meat penetrated their noses.
Now the minced meat and vegetable porridge has no taste.
With saliva rolling back and forth between his tongue and teeth, Zhu Xianzhi put down his chopsticks, said, "I'm going to Shuxi Pavilion," and ran out of the house.
Lan Wanshuang stared at Zhu Xianzhi's disappearing back, but she was too embarrassed to run to her daughter-in-law's yard to get a free meal. She took the minced meat and vegetable porridge, but it was like chewing a barberry and swallowing a needle. After eating half a bowl, she found it difficult to swallow. She simply pushed the bowl away and went to the small Buddhist temple to chant sutras and meditate.
When the old marquis was alive, he lived in the East Courtyard. Shuxi Pavilion, where Lin Luoling lived, was once the residence of Marquis Yongning and his wife. Its original name was Lanfang Courtyard.
After the old marquis died of depression, Marquis Yongning and his wife moved to the East Courtyard.
Lanfangyuan is twice as large as Chunlanyuan where Lan Wanshuang lives.
Lan Wanshuang had been oppressed by the wife of Marquis Yongning for so many years, and her heart was full of resentment. She would rather leave Lanfangyuan vacant than move in.
After Lin Luoling and Zhu Xianzhi got engaged, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning was afraid that He Jinchun would come to see her daughter's future residence, so she proposed to renovate Lanfangyuan.
Lan Wanshuang curled her lips and said, "Brother and sister-in-law also know that Jingzhong's money was all given to that bitch Aunt Zhou. I can't afford to give her money."
How could the Yongning Marquis and his wife not know what kind of person Zhu Jingzhong is?
Not to mention asking Zhu Jingzhong to pay for the renovation of Lanfangyuan, it would be difficult for them to get Zhu Jingzhong to take even a penny out of his pocket.
Marquis Yongning had no choice but to take out his own private money and lie to his wife, saying that the Second Prince had asked Fengying to give it to him privately, and then he used the money to renovate Lanfang Courtyard.
After the renovation, He Jinchun came to take a look. Because he was not satisfied, he found a craftsman to change Lanfangyuan into two courtyards, front and back, which cost more money than rebuilding it.
Lan Wanshuang felt that she was the mother-in-law after all, so it was okay that her yard was smaller than her daughter-in-law's. In comparison, the plants and trees and the scenery in the yard were very different, not to mention the furnishings in the house.
Therefore, she discussed with He Jinchun and changed the name of Lanfangyuan to Shuxi Pavilion.
Zhu Xianzhi quickly ran to the front of Shuxi Pavilion and saw the five servants and a coachman that Lin Luoling brought from the Lin Mansion sitting together on the stone steps in the front yard. Each of them was holding a large bowl filled with large pieces of roasted meat.
Seeing Zhu Xianzhi coming, the servant and the coachman placed their bowls on the stone steps and bowed together.
Zhu Xianzhi swallowed his saliva and asked, "Has Ling'er had dinner?"
The servant and the coachman looked at each other. With such a strong smell of barbecue, was there any need to ask?
Suddenly, waves of laughter, one louder than the other, came from the backyard.
The two wooden doors leading to the backyard of Shuxi Pavilion were tightly closed. No matter how hard Zhu Xianzhi slammed or yelled, the laughter inside did not stop, and no one came to open the door for him.
After a long while, Zhu Xianzhi left with a gloomy face.
Lin Luoling did this on purpose and called the maids and servants brought from the Lin Mansion to the backyard, imitating the young Master Jiang and grilling meat in the yard.
How could they not hear Zhu Xianzhi knocking on the door and shouting "Ling'er".
At Lin Luoling's suggestion, he deliberately raised the volume of his laughter, pretending that he couldn't hear it.
It was getting dark and not a piece of the barbecue was left. Lin Luoling took the new light blue dress that she had chosen for Zhou Jiaoling from Yunshangfang and went to Lanxiangyuan.
The door was opened. Zhou Jiaoling's personal maid Mei Yin was stunned for a moment, then she remembered Lin Luoling's identity and bowed and said, "It's so late, I wonder if the Second Young Madam has anything to do here?"
Hearing this, Lin Luoling sighed inwardly that Marquis Yongning issued the order so quickly that even Zhou Jiaoling's personal maid started calling her the Second Young Madam.
She said, "I just returned home today and brought a return gift to Aunt Zhou. I wonder if she is sleeping well?"
Before Mei Yin could speak, Zhou Jiaoling came out and said, "You haven't fallen asleep yet, come in and talk."
Lanxiang Courtyard is very small, with only three main rooms and a small kitchen. After entering the main hall, Lin Luoling noticed with her sharp eyes that Zhou Jiaoling was wearing the silver bracelet she had given her on her right wrist.
Lin Luoling pursed her lips and smiled, holding a very ordinary brocade box in both hands, and said sincerely:
"A few days ago, my aunt dragged me to Yunshangfang, saying that a batch of new goods had arrived. I fell in love with this new dress at first sight. The color and style are very suitable for Aunt Zhou, so I gave it to Aunt Zhou as a gift.
Aunt Zhou, take a look, do you like it?"
The brocade box was opened, Lin Luoling unfolded the new skirt, compared it in front of Zhou Jiaoling, and sighed: "This skirt seems to be specially made for Aunt Zhou, the length, shortness, fatness and thinness are just right."
When Zhou Jiaoling was still a courtesan, she had heard of the fame of Yunshangfang. Although she was a courtesan, most of the money she earned was taken away by the brothel owner, and the money she had saved was cheated away by an unfaithful man.
Whenever she passed by Yunshangfang, she wanted to go in and take a look, but with the little money she had left, she couldn't afford a new dress, let alone one that was out of season. She didn't dare to ask the price, so she had to stop and look.
As soon as Lin Luoling returned home, Mei Yin told Zhou Jiaoling. Seeing that Lin Luoling was late, she thought that Lin Luoling looked down on her. Unexpectedly, at night, Lin Luoling specially sent her a return gift, and this return gift really touched her heart.
Zhou Jiaoling was a little dazed, her charming demeanor suddenly disappeared, and she became like a child, asking stiffly: "Is this for me?"
Lin Luoling pushed aside the sleeves covering her wrists, revealing a silver bracelet exactly the same as Zhou Jiaoling's, deliberately letting Zhou Jiaoling see it.
Zhou Jiaoling cried with joy and wiped her tears immediately. She asked Mei Yin to go to the small kitchen to make tea, and smiled with her eyes curved while holding the new dress from Yunshangfang.
At this time, Zhu Qingyao came out from the inner hall, rubbing his half-awake eyes and asked, "Is Daddy back?"
