Lin Jinyan lowered her head and remained silent.
The old lady said in a deep voice: "Baizhi, tell me!"
Bai Zhi said tremblingly: "Back to the old lady... cousin... did give the young lady a veil, and asked the young lady to... give it to the second young master of the general's mansion... but the veil was lost later, and the second young master Gu didn't look at it."
The old lady's face darkened again: "A daughter's family is so unreserved! Where have you learned the rules I taught you these days?"
Zhou Yuexue said anxiously: "Auntie, Yuexue is..."
The old lady interrupted loudly: "Come back to Songmao Hall with me! Yan'er, in the future, you are not allowed to deliver anything to grandma without her permission. Do you remember that?"
Lin Jinyan nodded: "Yan'er noted it down. Grandma, please don't be angry with your cousin. The things were given by Yan'er. If you are angry, just take it out on Yan'er."
The old lady stood up and rubbed Lin Jinyan's head:
"Yan'er did nothing wrong. If grandma is not angry with you, don't think too much about it. Come to Songmao Hall for dinner in the evening, and grandma will ask Qi Momo to make your favorite Shanhaidou."
Seeing Lin Jinyan nodding, the old lady brought the person back to Songmao Hall with a sullen face.
Zhou Yuexue followed closely, and when she left the study, she turned back and gave Lin Jinyan a deep look with hatred on her face.
During dinner in the evening, Zhou Yuexue was nowhere to be seen, saying she was feeling unwell.
Lin Jinyun asked a few more questions, but the old lady only said that it was nothing serious and that she would be fine if she slept for two days. She did not say anything about the discomfort.
During the meal, she showed great concern to Lin Jinyan. Lin Jinyan proposed that she would go to the General's Mansion tomorrow, and the old lady agreed.
The next day, when Lin Jinyan went out, there were a bunch of gifts prepared by the old lady in the carriage.
Lin Jinyan knew that this gift was because of the Song Yi incident, and was afraid that the General's Mansion would think too much about it, so she sent the gift to the General's Mansion with peace of mind.
After hearing what Lin Jinyan said, Bai Yiran said displeasedly:
"This cousin is too capable of stirring up trouble. She can talk nonsense about all kinds of things."
Gu Yichen: "What about Song Yiren? He is both a mentor and a friend to me. If he has nowhere to go, let him come to the General's Mansion. I guarantee that no one will wrongly accuse him like this."
Gu Ruizhou: "Song Yi is a man of great skill and has saved your and An'er's lives. He really shouldn't be allowed to leave the house so hastily."
Lin Jinyan: "Song Yi has left the capital. He doesn't blame his grandmother. He asked me to help him say goodbye to you. I would like to thank my aunt for saving my life, and also ask my second cousin to practice the swordsmanship he taught you."
A few people chatted about their daily life, and Lin Jinyan asked with a smile:
"In a few days it will be the Qiao Qiao Festival. Has my eldest cousin made an appointment with the eldest princess?"
Gu Ruizhou raised his hand and scraped the tip of Lin Jinyan's nose:
"You actually came to tease me. I deserve a beating."
Gu Yichen smiled and said: "We made an appointment, but the eldest princess didn't agree and said she didn't want to leave the palace."
Lin Jinyan: "Don't be sad, cousin. If the eldest princess doesn't accompany you, how about my brother and I go out with you to play?"
Bai Yiran: "Gui Lingjing, do you want to go out to play? Just say it. How dare they not take you there? And they are using the name of the eldest princess."
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "Don't you, a rich man like you, clean the courtyard on the Qiao Qiao Festival? In the evening, put a needle on the moon and kneel down devoutly to Vega, praying for your own ingenuity?"
Lin Jinyan: "I'm so skillful with my hands that my grandpa praised me for the leathers I sewed. Besides, not every woman will kneel down and worship."
Gu Yichen nodded: "That's true, Princess Yanling will definitely not worship her."
Lin Jinyan: "Then I'll call the princess, and cousin and aunt, you have to come too, there are so many people."
