Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

The next morning, Lin Huai came to the Marquis's Mansion. When he saw Lin Wan, he was still a little excited. Lin Wan smiled and asked some questions about his daily studies. When she learned that he was still studying at home, she took notice of him. The Lin family only had Lin Heng in Tianyu Academy. Lin Zhigao didn't think about Lin Huai's affairs. It was just that most of the knowledge taught at home was basic enlightenment knowledge, which was not enough for the imperial examination.

Lin Wan kept this matter in mind, and thought of Ye Zexian, who still lived in Moxiangzhai. He was a truly knowledgeable man, so she told Lin Huai that he could make friends with him and ask Ye Zexian for advice.

When Lin Huai returned, Lin Wan prepared a lot of books and a set of four treasures for the study, as well as some daily necessities such as food and cloth. She told him to study with peace of mind and to send a message if he needed anything. Lin Huai looked at her with eyes full of gratitude.

Not long after Lin Huai left, Lin Wan received an invitation from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, in which Li Suining invited her to come over for tea.

Lin Wan smiled, probably because she had just finished her New Year's work and had time to invite her to a gathering. She happily went there with her maid.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Linglong, Li Suining's maid, was waiting there.

"Happy New Year, Madam!" Linglong smiled and walked forward to greet Lin Wan, helping her out of the carriage.

"Happy New Year, how is Sister Li doing these days?"

"I'm fine!" Linglong said with a smile, "Madam has been thinking about you for a long time, but she was very busy during the New Year. She thought you must have a lot of things to do in the Marquis' Mansion, so she waited until now."

"Really? It seems like Sister Li had a fulfilling New Year!" Lin Wan said with a meaningful smile.

During the Chinese New Year, the housekeepers were busy. It seemed that Li Suining had more things to take care of in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he was very happy.

"Yes, thanks to the charcoal you sent before, it really helped a lot. Our lady is now highly valued by the family!" Linglong said with some pride.

As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they saw a group of people in the garden looking at flowers. The weather had just warmed up, and there were not many flowers in the garden, which looked a bit bleak. Coincidentally, a cluster of winter jasmine flowers beside the rockery was blooming brilliantly, and several maids were accompanying a woman in luxurious clothes to appreciate the flowers.

Seeing Linglong and Lin Wan coming over, the woman turned around and looked at them, neither stepping forward to greet them nor avoiding them. The look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Wan was full of disdain and arrogance.

It was Cui Ning, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

"Miss." Linglong bowed respectfully.

Lin Wan saw Cui Ning snort at Linglong, casually threw away the flowers she had just picked, and said pointedly: "You bring all kinds of things that are not presentable into the mansion. Aren't you ashamed?"

Lin Wan: “…”

Linglong's face looked a little ugly, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, they were talking about flowers. Although it didn't sound that simple, she wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it!

Seeing that the two were silent, Cui Ning was somewhat pleased with himself, and looked at Lin Wan with disdain, "I wonder if the young lady ever thought about how lucky she is now when she was young, given the wealth of this Marquis's mansion! People should cherish their blessings."

Lin Wan looked at her speechlessly, not understanding where her hostility towards her came from.

"Miss, Madam Lu is our Madam's distinguished guest..." Linglong couldn't help but remind her.

"Oh, your wife can only talk about this with those people from small families who are born in similar families. I just can't help but remind you that now that you have married into our Zhenguo Mansion, it's nothing to belittle yourself, but don't bring shame to our family!"

Having said that, he no longer paid any attention to the two of them, stepped on the forsythia flowers on the ground, and walked away proudly.

Lin Wan remained speechless and had no reaction to her words. Linglong was furious with her words and tried to calm her down, saying, "Madam, please don't be angry with her. The eldest lady has always felt that she is superior to others and is very spoiled by the family, so she is used to being arrogant."

Then he whispered, "As for our wife, she has suffered a lot of anger from her before."

Lin Wan smiled at her and said gently, "It's okay, let's hurry up, Sister Li is still waiting."

When I entered Li Suining's yard, I saw that she couldn't wait to go out to pick someone up.

Seeing Lin Wan coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Why did you take so long? Are you waiting for me to pick you up in person?"

Lin Wan walked over with a smile: "How dare I, I came as soon as the post arrived. Isn't it fast enough?"

Li Suining touched her forehead affectionately. At this time, Linglong walked to her side and whispered to her about what happened to Cui Ning in the garden just now.

Li Suining's face darkened after hearing this, and he frowned and said, "Big sister always talks about upbringing, is this her upbringing? Sister Lin is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and is also the person my mother likes. She is also a guest of the mansion today. Is this how she treats guests?"

Then he took Lin Wan's hand and apologized, "My dear sister, I have wronged you. Don't worry, I will go to my mother and talk to her about the matter and ask her to apologize to you."

"It's nothing, Sister Li, don't be angry." Lin Wan stepped forward and held her hand, smiling. "Besides, I was not born in a high position, and marrying into the Marquis's Mansion is indeed a high position. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to enter the Zhenguogong Mansion with my previous status. Since it is the truth, why should I be angry!"

"You are just too kind." Li Suining said helplessly, "You don't know that my sister-in-law has high standards and usually looks down on this and that. After I married into the family, she always felt that I was not worthy of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Sigh... You are now the Crown Prince's Consort and the mistress of the house, and she actually said such words in front of you. Even if your mother dotes on her, she can't be too excessive!"

Lin Wan pulled her into the house and sincerely persuaded her, "Sister Li, I'm really not angry. It's important for people to know themselves. I can't decide how I was born, and I can't decide how others see me. What's important is how I treat myself. What do you think?"

You can't change where you were born, but you have to live your life. Lin Wan always believes that you should do what you are supposed to do. If she wants to get something, she has to work hard. If she knows she is weak but still tries to hold on for the sake of face, that is really wishful thinking. If you are weak, you have to work hard to become stronger. If you want to be respected by others, you have to have the ability to be respected by others. This is fair.

As for those who look down on her now, why waste the energy to argue? Mountains and rivers are changing, and life is long.

"That is nice!"

As soon as Lin Wan finished speaking, Li Suining's eyes sparkled. He was about to praise her for her clear understanding when he was interrupted by a voice.

A woman in red walked out of the room. She walked towards Lin Wan and the others and said with a smile, "What this sister said couldn't be more reasonable. As the saying goes, fortune changes over time. No one should underestimate anyone else. That's exactly what sister said!"

As he spoke, he walked up to the two of them, bowed to Lin Wan, and said with a smile, "Li Weining greets Sister Lin."
