Lin Jinyan put the hot tea next to Lin Wanrong's hand and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
"Sister, don't be afraid. Why do those women want to embarrass you and Aunt Xu?"
Lin Wanrong shook her head, with tears in her eyes, but she held back the tears:
"I don't know either. As soon as we walked out of the door, there were two women pointing at us. After a while, there were more and more people, and the words they said became... more and more unpleasant."
Lin Jinan: "Those shrews, they heard some rumors somewhere, surrounded my cousin and Aunt Xu and said a lot of nasty things, and refused to let them leave."
Lin Jinyan was about to comfort Lin Wanrong when she heard Lin Jinan say again:
"Fortunately, His Highness the Second Highness not only punished those women after encountering them, but also said that Aunt Xu was from an official background and her wealth was innocent and could not be slandered. I think that in the future, those blind people will not trouble Aunt Xu anymore."
Lin Jinyan's eyes turned cold when she heard: Her mind is so vicious that she won't even let go of a woman with a miserable life experience...
Princess Yanling was confused and asked who Aunt Xu was, and Lin Jinyan explained the whole story.
After being comforted by several people, Lin Wanrong finally calmed down:
"Don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, every time I leave the house, I'm terrified, afraid of encountering this kind of situation. But I can't avoid it. Today is the first time that I have been surrounded and insulted like this. I was so panicked that I was I'm scared, I'll get better if I encounter more of them in the future..."
Princess Yanling frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Why do you let those talkative women insult you? Next time, you should let your servants control their mouths."
Lin Jinyan: "The princess is right. Your face is full of forbearance and easy bullying, which will only make the evildoers more unscrupulous. No matter what, you are still an official's family, and those are just commoners, how can it be their turn to humiliate you?"
Seeing Lin Wanrong nodding, Lin Jinyan asked again:
"Where are the servants in the house? Just watching you being bullied?"
Lin Wanrong: "Aunt Yu took the maids and mother-in-law and surrounded me and my mother, so we were not hurt. Aunt Yu was planning to let the maids come to the house, but His Highness happened to relieve the siege, so I didn't let Yu Aunt sent someone back."
Lin Jinan: "Speaking of which, His Majesty the Second Highness really helped us a lot. He even helped Yan'er drive away Xiao Siming last time. It's time to thank him. Ever since His Majesty rewarded me with a good horse, the Second Highness said he wanted to ride a horse out of the city with me. I just made an appointment with His Highness, and he agreed to leave the city in two days. Do you want to go with me?"
Lin Jinyan looked as usual: "If nothing happens, we will go together."
Princess Yanling said with a sad face: "Oh, I really envy you. My mother-in-law said that I am not allowed to go anywhere before we get married... I still sneaked out today... By the way, Lin Jin'an, you just said that the guests left early? Then? Where are my father and concubine?"
Lin Jinan: "Of course I'm going back home."
Princess Yanling stood up quickly and said impatiently:
"It's over, it's over. I said I would go back before my mother-in-law returns home. Zhili, hurry up! Go back quickly! I'm leaving first..."
Without waiting for Lin Jinyan to respond, she hurriedly walked out the door.
When Lin Jinyan saw this, she didn't hold back the greetings and ordered Hong Jiu to send Princess Yanling to the carriage.
After seeing off the people, the three of them comforted Lin Wanrong for a while, and made an appointment with Feng Siyao to go out of the city together. Then Lin Jinan talked about today's wedding banquet:
"Qin Zongheng had just welcomed the bride back. Before she could enter, a woman holding a child knelt in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, begging the bride to accept the child."
