Lin Luoling washed up early and was having breakfast with Chen Yin when the maid came to report that Lan Wanyun had made a big fuss at the back door of Yongning Marquis' Mansion early in the morning and insisted on seeing Lan Wanshuang.

Chen Yin asked in confusion, "Didn't my stepmother ask Butler Jiang to tell Lan Wanyun two days ago that Wantong Escort Agency didn't need to compensate for that batch of goods? Why is she still making trouble?"

Lin Luoling said to the old woman: "I understand."

After the maid left the house, Lin Luoling said to Chen Yin, “Before Lan Wanyun came to make trouble, she was afraid that she would have to pay for the goods, and she was also afraid that Guangshun Marquis’s Mansion would find fault with Wantong Escort Agency and put them in jail.

She is such a greedy person. How could she not take into account the losses caused by that batch of goods even if she didn't have to compensate?

She must want to convince Lan Wanshuang to trust her so that Lin will give her another job as an escort to the capital, embezzle the goods, make up for the money owed, and make a fortune.

Otherwise, why did she come here eagerly to please Lan Wanshuang and make a scene at the back door? "

Chen Yin snorted, "Every failure makes one wiser. She has already received the lesson she deserved. I let her go, but she still doesn't know how to restrain herself. She is really trying every possible way to seek death."

At this point, Chen Yin suddenly raised her head, "Oh, why didn't you ask clearly just now whether Lan Wanshuang let Lan Wanyun into the mansion?"

Lin Luoling said with a smile: "Sister Chen Yin was disturbed by Lan Wanyun? My father-in-law has not left the house since Zhou Jiaoling's hand was burned.

Lan Wanshuang was so frightened that she didn't even dare to leave Chunlan Courtyard, so how could she dare to let Lan Wanyun enter the house?

If my father-in-law knew that Lan Wanyun had entered the mansion, I'm afraid he would take an axe to chop down the gate of Chunlan Courtyard again."

Last night, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning sent Nanny Dong to tell her that Lan Wanshuang's injury had not healed yet, and asked the maid in Chunlan Courtyard to report that she would not be able to host this year's Hundred Flowers Festival and would not be able to go to the East Courtyard.

It is also said that Lin Luoling celebrated the Hundred Flowers Festival at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion the previous year, and asked the Yongning Marquis' wife to invite Lin Luoling along when she celebrated the Hundred Flowers Festival, so that Lin Luoling wouldn't be bored at Shuxi Pavilion.

In her previous life, Lin Luoling married into the Yongning Marquis Mansion. During the Hundred Flowers Festival, it was the cook she brought from the Lin Mansion who worked hard for several days to prepare two tables of exquisite dishes, which were placed in the Luohua Pavilion in the east courtyard.

The Yongning Marquis's Mansion is not big to begin with. There is only a courtyard behind the Yongning Marquis's study, with some flowers and plants planted in it. You can see them all in a few glances, which is quite boring.

Therefore, after lunch in the previous life, everyone went their separate ways.

Later, Lin Luoling learned that Yongning Hou and Zhu Jingzhong had separated, and they did not celebrate festivals together.

Because Lan Wanshuang was short of money before and she didn't keep in touch with Zhou Jiaoling, the West Courtyard didn't celebrate any festivals at all. They only went to the East Courtyard for a meal and a drink during the Chinese New Year.

Last night, when Nanny Dong came here to say that Lan Wanshuang had sent a maid to pass on a message, she pouted back and forth, obviously knowing that Lan Wanshuang was a person who never spoke the truth and was determined to save face for herself.

Chen Yin slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, how could I have forgotten about this."

As they were talking, Bizhi came to report: "Madame Dong from the East Courtyard is here, and she said she has something urgent to discuss with the young lady."

Lin Luoling thought that Nanny Dong was here to ask her and Chen Yin to go to the East Courtyard to celebrate the Hundred Flowers Festival, and asked in confusion: "Even if it's the Hundred Flowers Festival, why are we going so early?"

Lin Luoling wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Let Aunt Dong come in and talk."

Soon, Bizhi brought Nanny Dong into the house.

After greeting, Nanny Dong handed over an invitation and said, "The wife of Governor Cao personally sent an invitation, saying that she wants the Second Young Madam to go to Baihua Tower."

Bizhi took it and handed it to Lin Luoling. Lin Luoling opened it and took a closer look. She thought to herself, she was not familiar with the wife of Governor Cao and had only met her once. Why would the wife of Governor Cao send her an invitation for no reason?

On second thought, Governor Cao secretly surrendered to His Royal Highness Prince An, and Jiang Chi invited her to Jingfu Temple, so she guessed that this matter was related to His Royal Highness Prince An.

Lin Luoling pretended to be surprised and said, "I am not familiar with the wife of Governor Cao. It is my aunt who is good friends with the wife of Governor Cao. Do you want to take me with you?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Dong was stunned for a moment and replied, "Our wife is not familiar with Governor Cao's wife. I heard that Governor Cao's wife rarely leaves the mansion, and the few girls she keeps in the mansion rarely interact with the girls from other mansions.

Just now, the servant at the gate of the mansion came to report that the wife of Governor Cao personally sent an invitation to invite the Second Young Madam to Baihua Tower.

Our Madam saw that only the Second Young Madam was written on the invitation, so she asked the old servant to come to Shuxi Pavilion and give the invitation to the Second Young Madam. "

After hearing this, Lin Luoling suddenly realized that when the servant at the gate of the mansion reported the matter, Marquis Yongning and his wife were together, and they must have suspected that she was familiar with the wife of Governor Cao.

If this is the case, Lin and Governor Cao must have had private dealings.

In the past few days, Marquis Yongning has already tidied up the two shops, which are located next to the residence of Governor Cao.

How can everything be so coincidental?

Marquis Yongning and his wife will certainly suspect Lin. Marquis Yongning will tell Fengying about this and let the second prince, Prince Rui, know.

Regarding the fire incident, Prince Jin and Prince Rui pushed Governor Cao to take the blame. Fortunately, Prince An wrote a letter to Your Majesty in person to plead for Governor Cao.

There were several officials in the court who spoke well of Governor Cao, and the matter was exposed.

However, both the King of Jin and the King of Rui had suffered such heavy losses that the suspicion and fighting between the two sides grew day by day and became an out-and-out mess.

Lin Luoling frowned, wondering how could Jiang Chi or His Royal Highness Prince An be so careless in this matter? How could they put the Lin family into a dilemma for no reason?

After a long while, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I am not familiar with the wife of Governor Cao, and the first year I spent the Hundred Flowers Festival at the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, my uncle and aunt prepared for several days because of me. It would be unreasonable for me to go alone with Governor Cao's wife to celebrate the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Yesterday, my sister Chenyin and I planned to go to Jingfu Temple to pray for my mother-in-law, hoping that she would recover soon.

I can go back home before the afternoon, which is just right for me to help my aunt prepare the banquet. Then our family can have a happy dinner together in the evening, isn’t that great?

Nanny Dong is an elder in the mansion. She has been with my aunt since she was young. She is good at speaking and doing things. Please help me to decline this offer."

Nanny Dong obviously didn't expect Lin Luoling to say that. She was stunned for a moment, then took the invitation Lin Luoling handed to her and said with a smile:

"There is a banquet in the mansion today. If the Second Young Madam wants to go to Jingfu Temple, she must come back early."

Lin Luoling nodded in agreement, and Nanny Dong took the invitation and bowed before leaving the room.

Just as Lin Luoling closed the door and was about to pick up the chopsticks, Jiang Chi pushed open the back window and jumped in.

Seeing Jiang Chi's outfit, Chen Yin couldn't help but spit out the porridge he had just put in his mouth, slapping his legs and laughing:

"Did Young Master Jiang come here early in the morning to tease me and Sister Ling'er? Or did he find a butterfly-like skirt to wear to complement the Hundred Flowers Festival?"

Lin Luoling turned around and saw that Jiang Chi was wearing a colorful floral dress and had two buns on her hair. She was walking while pulling up the front of her shirt.

I didn't pull it well, my hand was a little too strong.

Only a very slight "click" sound was heard.

A crack appeared.
