After hearing this, Zhou Yuexue and Lin Wanrong hurriedly stood up to greet the Crown Princess again. After the Crown Princess praised the two of them, she started chatting with Lin Jinyan again, her tone was clearly much closer to Zhou Yuexue than to Zhou Yuexue.
Zhou Yuexue noticed that the Crown Princess was treating her differently. Although her face did not show any signs of it, her eyes quickly glanced at Lin Jinyan's face unkindly.
The Crown Princess stayed in Songmao Hall for almost an hour before leaving, leaving behind a pile of nourishing food and four posts about the flower party seven days later.
Zhou Yuexue couldn't stop smiling after receiving the post. She didn't stay any longer after the princess left. It was so easy for her to attend a flower party of this size. She had to quickly buy clothes and hair.
After talking for a long time, the old lady felt tired. Lin Jinyan and the others returned to Yan Yuxuan after the old lady had a rest.
After Yulan and Yutong finished serving tea, Bai Zhi stood at the door and watched the three people in the room talking.
Lin Jinan: "Yan'er, my cousin took you two to the poetry club. She clearly wanted to step on you and your cousin. I even gave you my wink at that time. Why are you rushing to be her foil?"
Lin Jinyan picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "Brother, are you overthinking it? My cousin just wants me and Sister Wanrong to go out to play."
Lin Jinan: "Although it's inappropriate to talk behind someone's back, my cousin is not as kind as you see. Let's not talk about her behavior when she lived in the house before. Just a few months ago, I saw her and my eldest brother. We were chatting and talking in a deserted place, but yesterday I heard that my second uncle asked someone to go to the Zhou family to propose marriage, but the Zhou family refused. He said that my cousin wanted to observe mourning for my uncle and grandfather for three years and not consider marriage for the time being. "
Lin Wanrong said in confusion: "Although my cousin is a bit selfish, keeping filial piety is also my cousin's filial piety, so why is it wrong?"
Lin Jinan frowned and put it on the teacup, and said anxiously:
"Oh, my silly cousin, if she is really interested in my eldest brother, she can definitely decide on the marriage and discuss the marriage when the period of filial piety is over. But she refuses but does not refuse completely. She shows her filial piety through my eldest brother. What I still don’t know about my eldest brother is that I just want to climb to the top during my filial piety period. If I can’t climb up, I’ll find my eldest brother at the bottom.”
Lin Wanrong said blankly: "No way..."
Lin Jinan: "Why not? If she really keeps her filial piety, how can she go to those poetry gatherings where talented people gather all day long? I just got the post from the Crown Princess, and my cousin was so happy that even her usual fake smile was a bit genuine. If My cousin sincerely keeps her filial piety, so why would she want to attend such a lively flower party?"
Seeing Lin Wanrong frowning in thought, Lin Jinan said again:
"Evaluate what is real and what is not, and follow her desires to see her will. My cousin thought she was hiding well, but her words and deeds have long been revealed. When we were young, we didn't know who she really was, and we thought she was amiable. Now that we think about her What she did is really unpalatable. If she hadn't been selfish, how could Yan'er have taken such a big risk?"
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong looked at Lin Jinyan with distressed eyes, and the doubts in her eyes became firmer.
Lin Jinyan sat aside, listening to the two men analyzing Zhou Yuexue, sipping tea leisurely, with satisfaction in her eyes.
People can change. As long as you have the mentality to guard against others, you can naturally prevent problems before they occur.
Two days later, Zhou Yuexue took Lin Jinyan and Lin Wanrong to a poetry meeting. As soon as they entered the venue, everyone looked at Lin Jinyan sideways. Zhou Yuexue, who usually stood out like a star at the poetry meeting, was completely ignored this time.
Zhou Yuexue gritted her teeth secretly, maintained her smile calmly, took Lin Jinyan's hands and introduced them to everyone, and gently arranged for them to sit down.
