After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil
Chapter 147 Banquet
After He Zhiyuan left in a huff, Lin Yanyu was afraid that he would not let her go to Songyun Courtyard the next day. She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep until the second half of the night when she couldn't bear it anymore.
When she woke up again, the dazzling sunlight outside was shining through the window.
What surprised her was that the person who came to help her wash and dress was not Mother Wu.
Instead, a strange old woman in indigo clothes came over with two little girls, holding a silver basin and a face towel.
"Hello, Madam. Yesterday, Madam Wu suddenly fell ill and was unable to serve you, so you sent me here. My last name is Wang, and you can call me Madam Wang."
As Mother Wang spoke, she quickly made up the bed curtains.
"Just now, I saw that you had not woken up yet, so I did not dare to disturb you. But the old lady's banquet is almost ready, and she has just sent someone to urge her. Before leaving this morning, she asked me to take you to Songyun Courtyard."
Lin Yanyu was sleep deprived and was a little listless, but when she heard her say that, her eyes suddenly brightened up, and she washed, changed her clothes, and dressed up perfectly.
From the clothes and hairpins she wears, one can tell for whom they are meant to please.
A sky-blue short-sleeved shirt with magnolia pattern, a sky-blue plain silk narrow-sleeved shirt, a lilac tube top, a scarlet jacquard silk skirt, a green jade ring pendant with a sash, and sky-blue satin shoes.
Lin Yanyu was now extremely excited, and only thought about having a chance to escape from this place, so she did not bother about these small details anymore.
A pink peony was pinned into her double-ringed Wangxian bun, and Mother Wang picked up a scarlet one.
Lin Yanyu pushed her hand away and stood up impatiently.
"No need, that's all. It's not good to keep the elders waiting for a long time. Let's go now. We can still greet Auntie in time."
Mother Wang looked her up and down before putting down the red peony.
"Madam is right. Let's go there now."
The moment she stepped out of the door, the view in front of her suddenly opened up and Lin Yanyu felt that her breathing became much smoother.
There was only one bad thing. Her right arm was held in the hand of Mother Wang, and on her left and right were two little maids with double buns, and behind her were four guards.
Her every move was under their surveillance, but she had expected all this. She just hoped that her plan could be carried out smoothly.
Lin Yanyu left as fast as a flying arrow, without stopping, and the group soon arrived at Songyun Courtyard.
Although the scenery in Songyun Courtyard is not as pretty as that in Wooyun Courtyard, it also has its own sense of spaciousness. There is a large area of rockery and bamboo in the garden, which is quiet and refreshing.
What made her most happy was that there were no guards guarding Songyun Courtyard, only a few servants and maids walking around.
A maid in brown cloth was standing in front of the main hall, looking towards the door. When she saw them, she immediately came over and shouted into the house.
"Madam, Miss Lin is here."
The maid came forward a few steps, looked him up and down imperceptibly with her small eyes, smiling, but secretly surprised in her heart.
She had seen Lord He's concubines, including her cousin Aunt Cao, the banished Aunt Yan, and several girls that her mentor, superiors, and colleagues had stuffed in and couldn't refuse. They were all beauties, but compared to this one, they all pale in comparison.
No wonder the adults chose to place it in Wooyun Court instead of Songyun Court, which they rarely set foot in.
Thinking of this, the servant's smile became more sincere. "You must be Miss Lin. The banquet is ready. The old lady and the concubines are waiting for you inside. Please follow me."
"Thank you, Mom."
Lin Yanyu nodded slightly at her and followed closely.
He's mother was in poor health and could not sit or stand for a long time, so the table was placed in the bedroom.
The maid opened the curtain, and Lin Yanyu walked in with Mother Wang and two maids.
"Thorn-"
There was a sharp sound of a chair scraping against the floor, and a skinny figure stumbled towards Lin Yanyu.
Mother Wang took a step forward, trying to stand in front of her.
Lin Yanyu stretched out her hand to block her. "It's okay, Mother Wang, this is my sister. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so she is a little excited."
While she was speaking, Lin Yanxia's skinny hands pulled up her sleeves, her bulging eyeballs were covered with a layer of water, and her tongueless mouth opened, making unintelligible sounds.
"Ho ho! Ho ho!"
The maid and Mother Wang were stunned for a moment, looking at the two sisters' faces with shocked eyes.
Lin Yanyu clapped her dry hands twice and said softly, "I haven't greeted my aunt since I came here. If you have anything to say, let's talk later."
As she said this, she walked towards He's mother with a smile.
Lin Yanxia, however, was like a drowning person who had grabbed a piece of driftwood. She grabbed Lin Yanyu's sleeve tightly and walked closely beside her to He's mother's bed.
"Aunt He, may you be well."
Lin Yanyu bent down and saluted her sincerely.
Regardless of He's mother's mentality, today's welcome banquet helped her a lot.
Mother He first glanced at the skinny Lin Yanxia next to her, then reluctantly looked away and said weakly, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meal."
Cao Fangruo was so angry when she saw Lin Yanxia. She hadn't bothered Lin Yanxia for a few days, so she couldn't help but feel even more indignant.
She stood up from the edge of He's mother's bed, pointed at the person who was shrinking his hands and feet and was obviously extremely afraid of her, and cursed: "This vicious bitch, she made me childless and made my aunt sick in bed, why can she eat at the same table with us?"
Lin Yanxia let out a scream from her throat and hid behind her sister in fear.
Lin Yanyu was startled and felt the clothes being pulled on her back. She turned her head to look.
Meeting her gaze, Lin Yanxia shook her head and cried wildly.
"Ho ho ho..."
"Okay, Fangruo! What are you doing?" He's mother shouted.
Cao Fangruo looked at He's mother's angry face in disbelief and felt extremely aggrieved. She was the victim, and her aunt was actually speaking for the murderer.
Cao Fangruo's eyes gradually turned red.
"Yanxia is Yanyu's sister. Today's banquet is held to welcome Yanyu. Just give her some face, dear."
He's mother took Cao Fangruo's hand and patted it soothingly.
Cao Fangruo looked at Lin Yanyu with tears in her eyes, thinking of the box of clothes, hairpins and jewelry from yesterday. She opened it in the evening and saw that they were all fashionable and good things.
"Okay, then I'll let you off today for Sister Lin's sake, but don't expect me to let you off in the future."
The four of them sat down safely.
In order to take care of He's mother's health, the table consisted of light dishes, either steamed or boiled, with only two meat dishes.
This was just what Lin Yanyu liked. At this moment, for some reason, she was obviously very hungry, but she felt sick just looking at these things.
Thinking about the plan later, Lin Yanyu didn't want to eat, but forced herself to eat two bowls of rice.
He put down his chopsticks only after he felt sick to his stomach.
"Aunt, these guards and servants have been following me since morning, and I haven't had time to eat. I wonder if you could give them this meal to make up for it. Yanxia and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we sisters can take this opportunity to talk."
