The crowd began to whisper.

There is nothing else to say. Lin's jewelry shop in Xuzhou, Beijing, is well-known to everyone. Silver jewelry is very rare, and even the styles of gold jewelry are only one type, and there is no other similar one.

Moreover, when they heard Lin Luoling mention the virtuous concubine, the onlookers naturally thought that the virtuous concubine's mother's family, Guangshun Marquis Mansion, was such a wealthy family, how could they use copper to hang gold? At the very least, it should be silver jewelry.

Lin Luoling seemed puzzled and asked casually: "Since that batch of goods was robbed, how did my aunt know that it was made of brass with gold?"

This sentence left Lan Wanyun speechless, and the expression on her face was particularly wonderful.

Then, Zhu Xianzhi's eyes turned three degrees colder when he looked at Lan Wanyun.

Just at this moment, Marquis Yongning walked out of the mansion, glanced coldly at Lan Wanyun, and heard the onlookers say: Wantong Escort Agency must have stolen Lin's goods, and they also said something like using brass to hang gold, cheating people of their goods, and slandering Lin's reputation, etc.

He became more and more excited as he spoke, to the point of cursing the Wantong Escort Agency and Lan Wanyun.

Lan Wanyun's face turned red and blue. She couldn't stand being scolded in public. She looked at the crowd with cold eyes and shouted:

"What are you talking about? We are all family relatives. Why would I want to steal the goods of the Lin family? Losing the dartboard is a very normal thing. If you have the ability, you can bet on it once and let me see."

Lin Luoling watched coldly, and felt that Lan Wanyun, apart from being able to throw tantrums and cry, was really short-sighted, stupid, and heartless, a mean person who only cared about small gains.

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but now that she did, wouldn't it be like she was trying to cover up her guilt?

Sure enough, the onlookers pointed at Lan Wanyun and started scolding her without any mercy.

Lin Luoling thought to himself that if Lan Wanyun's father Lan Sheng heard that even he was scolded, he would probably open the coffin lid and come over to slap Lan Wanyun a few times to vent his anger.

Seeing this, Yongning Hou stepped forward and pushed Zhu Xianzhi, with a sullen face and a cold voice, saying: "Xianzhi, accompany Luo Ling back to the Lin Mansion first, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Seeing Zhu Xianzhi getting on the carriage, how could Lan Wanyun miss such a good opportunity?

He got up from the ground, grabbed the shaft of the cart and shouted, "Luo Ling, ask your mother to let my aunt go. If you don't agree, I will hang myself in front of you."

Lin Luoling, sitting in the carriage, clutched her sleeves with both hands, pretending to be frightened.

Marquis Yongning waved his hand, and several servants rushed forward without paying any attention, pried open Lan Wanyun's ten fingers, and forced her to kneel on the ground.

That would have been fine, but Lin Luoling looked through the gap in the side curtain and saw Lan Wanyun's face, who was rudely pressed to the ground by the servant, with her forehead covered in dust.

Perhaps because he used too much force, Lan Wanyun screamed in pain, and the sound sounded like someone was cutting her flesh.

Lin Luoling pretended to be extremely frightened and stuttered to the driver, "Hurry... hurry up. If she really hangs herself in front of me... I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll be scared to death."

The driver whipped the horse and it started running, causing the whole carriage to shake a few times.

Zhu Xianzhi, who was forced to go to the Lin Mansion by Yongning Marquis early in the morning, was already in a very upset mood. Then, Lan Wanyun made such a fuss, and he was so embarrassed that he was scolded by the onlookers.

The carriage shook like this, and Zhu Xianzhi collected his thoughts and turned his head to look at Lin Luoling beside him.

Seeing that Lin Luoling's fingers were trembling as she grasped her sleeves, he was afraid that Lin Luoling would be frightened by Lan Wanyun and her heart palpitations would recur.

If that were the case, if he went to the Lin Residence, let alone discussing the shop matters, he would be lucky if Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun didn't kick him out of the residence.

After thinking it over, Zhu Xianzhi softened his expression and spoke in a very light and gentle tone.

He said, "You don't have much contact with my aunt. She threatens people with death whenever she is not happy.

Ever since I can remember, I have heard her talk about hanging herself, jumping into the river, and other similar words, if not thousands of times, and my ears are so calloused from hearing them, but I have never seen her actually hang herself or jump into the river. "

After a pause, Zhu Xianzhi was sitting on Lin Luoling's right side and his left arm could not move. He originally wanted to hold Lin Luoling's hand, but when he lowered his eyes and looked, he really couldn't do it.

Then he patted Lin Luoling's arm symbolically with his right hand and continued, "Don't be afraid. I'll tell her later that if she cries and makes a fuss with you again, just ignore her."

Lin Luoling rubbed her chest and let out a breath after a while. When she turned her head, she still looked frightened. She asked, "Is your aunt often like this?"

Zhu Xianzhi remained silent and nodded slightly.

Lin Luoling muttered to herself, "She is your mother's biological sister. Your mother is such a kind person, but she is such a spoiled brat. I believe she knows this very well, so she dares to come here and make such a fuss."

After saying that, Lin Luoling caught a glimpse of Zhu Xianzhi's slender phoenix eyes from the corner of her eye, and a flash of cold light flashed from the corner of his eyes.

Having achieved his goal, Lin Luoling said no more.

The car suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Zhu Xianzhi broke the silence and said, "I was not thoughtful enough about what happened today. When Ling'er returns to the Lin Mansion and sees your father and mother, don't mention this to them.

"After the dart was lost, my father-in-law and mother-in-law must be in a bad mood. If they hear that my aunt cried with you at the gate of Yongning Marquis's mansion, I'm afraid they will be even angrier, which will not be good for their health."

Zhu Xianzhi sighed helplessly and said, "She is my aunt after all. Ling'er, please don't bother with her for the sake of me and my mother. Let's make this a minor matter, okay?"

Lin Luoling pretended not to understand and asked, "You want me to tell my mother that your aunt doesn't need to compensate for the goods that were escorted to the capital?"

With a cold smile in his heart, Lin Luoling said, "This... I can't make the decision. It would be fine if I didn't mention it. But if I did, my mother is so smart that she would definitely guess that your aunt is looking for trouble with me. I'm afraid that by then it won't be as simple as asking your aunt for compensation."

Hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. How my mother-in-law asked Wantong Escort Agency to compensate me has nothing to do with me. I just ask you not to mention the incident of my aunt crying in Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

Lin Luoling understood that Zhu Xianzhi said this not because he didn't want to care about Lan Wanyun's affairs, but because he was afraid that her mother would be so angry that she would no longer provide Zhu Xianzhi with the shop and food.

Between interests and family affection, Zhu Xianzhi will naturally choose what is best for him.

Lin Luoling responded obediently and looked out through the curtain. When she saw that they were almost reaching Governor Cao's residence, Lin Luoling pretended to be depressed and casually pushed aside the side curtain.

Soon she saw the shop that Prince An had told her about in advance. There was a wooden sign hanging at the door that read: For Sale.

Lin Luoling shouted: "Stop the car!"

Hearing the sound, the coachman pulled the reins and the carriage slowly stopped.

Zhu Xianzhi asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you having palpitations?"

Lin Luoling shook her head and pointed at the shop outside the side curtain and said, "Look at this shop, it has an excellent location and is quite large.

Last time you asked me which shop to choose, I hadn’t seen the shops on the list and didn’t know their sizes.

This one looks good to me, what do you think? "

Zhu Xianzhi stretched his neck and looked in the direction of Lin Luoling's finger, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
