After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 88: Confusing the Enemy
Seeing Chen Yin standing in front of the painting in a daze, Lin Luoling walked over and joked, "Sister, what are you looking at? You are so fascinated by it."
Chen Yin replied, "I didn't expect the painting of the wife of the Yongning Marquis to be so good. I was mesmerized by it for a while."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning also came over and said with a smile: "When Luo Ling's mother and I were still married, we both had the same female teacher, who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. At that time, I was naughty and couldn't sit still, so I only learned half of the music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Later, she married into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and was busy with the tedious affairs of the mansion every day, so she put it aside. In the past few years, she occasionally picked up her brush to paint one or two pieces when she had some free time.
If Miss Chenyin likes it, I will paint a picture for you later. This one is for Aunt Xu."
As she spoke, Madam Yongning sighed and said, "I am not like Miss Luo Ling who has no shortage of money. People call me Madam Yongning, which may seem respectable, but it is just an empty title.
I spend all day calculating the expenses of the mansion and really don't have that much spare money. The Hundred Flowers Festival can give silk and fabrics to the aunts, so I drew a few paintings for them as a token of my appreciation."
The words sounded nice, and Lin Luoling also realized that the red color of the azalea was stained with blood. She also heard the wife of the Marquis of Yongning say that she wanted to give the painting to Aunt Xu.
It was immediately known that someone was beaten to death in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, and the concubines and maids saw it with their own eyes. The paintings were made with human blood and given to them.
Wouldn't those concubines and maids be hung in their rooms? Whenever they see it, they will remember the miserable appearance of the people who were beaten to death.
In this case, how could the concubines and maids in the East Courtyard not be obedient?
Lin Luoling pretended not to notice it and first praised the wife of Marquis Yongning for being really good to her concubine and maid.
Then he continued, “When I sent the return gift before, I was only thinking about my aunt and forgot about them. My memory is really not good at all.
If Aunt Zhou hadn't gone with me when I bought silk yesterday, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it. Look, I've brought silk fabrics for the aunt in the East Courtyard as well."
Lin Luoling paused here, took the arm of Madam Yongning, and said with a smile:
"My aunt knows that I am not very good at dealing with things, and I am not familiar with them. Why don't I leave the silk with you and let you give it to them."
This was said implicitly. The wife of the Marquis of Yongning was a smart person and naturally understood that Lin Luoling was not a person who didn't know how to deal with things, but because of her, he didn't want to deal with those concubines.
Moreover, the benefit of sending silk has also been given to her. As for how to give it, whether to give it or not, isn't it her who has the final say?
Madam Yongning smiled happily, patted the back of Lin Luoling's hand, and said appreciatively: "You are so thoughtful. If they knew, wouldn't they be so happy that they couldn't sleep tonight?"
Lin Luoling smiled and called out to the old woman waiting in the yard, and the old woman came into the house carrying two pieces of silk.
Since it was said to be given to concubines and maids, only two horses are not enough.
Marquis Yongning has three concubines alone, how can they be divided?
Lin Luoling did this to pretend that she didn't know anything about the East Courtyard. She had no idea how many concubines and maids Marquis Yongning had.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning looked at the colors of the two pieces of silk and felt that they were too bright and tacky. She asked Nanny Dong to take the two pieces of silk and instructed:
"Send them the painting of Hundred Springs that I drew and the silk that Luo Ling sent."
After a few words of idle chat, it turned out to be just as Lin Luoling had expected.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning said, "Luo Ling has been in the Marquis of Yongning's mansion for quite some time. I promised your mother before that I would hand over the power of the household to you.
I see that you look much better. I am also old and can't really take care of the affairs in the mansion. Luo Ling, when the day is right, I will give you the keys and the account books.
If you have any questions, just ask me. Anyway, we live in the east and west courtyards, so they are not far from each other."
Lin Luoling rubbed his forehead and said, "Aunt, you don't know. My mother naturally hopes that I can manage the household affairs, but she has never taught me these things before. After discussing this with my aunt, my mother began to teach me little by little in her free time.
I really didn’t learn it well, and I didn’t understand a lot of things. My mother said that my eldest aunt was the best at housekeeping, so she asked me to learn from you for two or three years.”
Having said this, he did not reject Lady Yongning, nor did he say that she was incapable of managing the household. Instead, he humbly stated that he would learn from Lady Yongning for two or three years before taking over.
The wife of Marquis Yongning is different from Lan Wanshuang. She is the second daughter of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. She has seen the world and is always flawless in her words and deeds.
Although Lan Wanshuang is vicious and scheming, she only seeks immediate benefits.
The wife of Marquis Yongning will not lose something that is beneficial to her just for the sake of face.
Immediately, the wife of the Yongning Marquis said with a smile: "The Lin Mansion has so many businesses and shops, and there are many maids and servants in the mansion. We have few people in the Yongning Marquis Mansion and don't have much business. We only have two shops, so you can take over without worry.
If there is anything wrong, I will tell you. After all, we are not outsiders."
Lin Luoling pretended to hesitate for a long while before saying, "However, after the Hundred Flowers Festival is over, I will come to the East Courtyard to learn from my aunt for a few days. If my aunt thinks I am doing well, she will let me manage the household affairs.
I am shy, and if I don't do well and the maids laugh at me, I will inevitably feel upset."
Having said that, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning naturally couldn't force the power of housekeeper to be handed over to her, so she pretended to be angry and said:
"Then you need to explain it clearly to your mother. I am not being petty and holding the power of housekeeper hostage from you."
Lin Luoling smiled and said, "Of course. Even if I didn't tell you, my mother and my aunt have been close friends since childhood. How could they not know what kind of person you are?"
Afterwards, the wife of Marquis Yongning mentioned how to celebrate the Hundred Flowers Festival.
Lin Luoling described in detail how the Lin Mansion celebrated the Hundred Flowers Festival. Not to mention how cumbersome it was, if the Lin Mansion celebrated the Hundred Flowers Festival in the same way, even if the bones of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning were broken, she would not be able to come up with so much silver.
Lin Luoling added tactfully, "Since I have married into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, I naturally have to get used to how we celebrate festivals in our mansion."
Hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning relaxed her brows slightly and forced a smile.
After a few more words, Chen Yin, who had been sitting next to her without saying a word, reminded her, "Sister Ling'er, it's time for you to take your medicine."
Lin Luoling pretended to be suddenly enlightened and bowed to the wife of the Marquis of Yongning. The wife of the Marquis of Yongning did not want to delay her taking the medicine, so she personally escorted her out of the yard.
Just as he sat down in the main room of Shuxi Pavilion, Chen Yin was about to mention to Lin Luoling the painting "Hundred Springs" by the wife of Marquis Yongning, which was a cuckoo painted in blood, when he suddenly saw the back window pushed open a crack. Jiang Chi stuck his head out, saw that the doors and windows were all closed tightly, and jumped in.
