Lin Jinyan raised her head when she heard this. The flickering candlelight made her appear more gentle and demure.
"Okay, listen to Bai Zhi, I won't watch tonight."
Seeing Bai Zhi nodding and smiling, Lin Jinyan asked again:
"When will Duxing come back?"
Before Bai Zhi could answer, Hong Jiu interrupted:
"Miss, I'm a little hungry and want to find some food."
Lin Jinyan agreed with a smile. Seeing Hong Jiu go out, Bai Zhi stepped forward and closed the door, then came back with a smile and said:
"Miss, although Hong Jiu talks little, he is a wise man who can simplify the complex."
Lin Jinyan nodded and smiled: "She was worried that if Boss An asked about it, she would be in a dilemma and simply refused to listen. If she didn't know, she would not be in such a dilemma. She is indeed called a wise person."
"This also shows that in Hong Jiu's heart, Miss An is equally important."
"Gui Lingjing, you have truly become a semi-immortal."
After the master and servant finished chatting and laughing, Bai Zhi lowered her voice and talked about business:
"According to the instructions of the young lady, the refugees who were rescued during the flood selected a group of young and loyal people. In order not to attract attention, before we returned to Beijing, Steward Du started sending people in small groups according to the old method before. We escorted them into Tai'an in batches. Steward Du is teaching them the rules and how to contact them in the future. It will probably take a few days for Steward Du to finish his work."
Lin Jinyan: "Don't worry, how is Zhao Xincheng?"
"After Zhao Xincheng came back, he moved into the previous house and asked Wei Zhong to bring you a message to thank the lady for cleaning and settling in."
"How is my cousin doing?"
"The eldest young master is still the same as before. The second master and the second lady showed him many women, but he excused them. Since the cousin moved in, the eldest young master has been coming back frequently recently, using the excuse of visiting the old lady. A little more."
Early next morning.
The three sisters Lin Jinyan were chatting with the old lady in Songmao Hall. Before they could eat the food, the concierge sent a message saying that Princess Yanling came to visit.
The old lady smiled and said: "I must know that you are fine and can see people. If you are coming to visit me, please come to Yan Yuxuan and have a chat. There is no need to come to my place first."
Lin Jinyan thanked her obediently and invited Zhou Yuexue and Lin Wanrong to sit with the old lady at Yan Yuxuan after dinner.
After Princess Yanling entered the house, she drove the maid out of the house in a familiar manner. After looking Lin Jinyan up and down, and asking carefully about the whole birthday banquet, he started to curse Zhao Huaqiong with his hands on his hips.
Lin Jinyan didn't give up until her throat was dry from cursing. Lin Jinyan persuaded her to calm down and ate together again. As soon as the servants cleared the table, the concierge came again to report that Miss Feng was here.
After greeting Feng Siyao, as soon as Feng Siyao sat down, Princess Yanling drove all the maids around Feng Siyao out. After closing the door, she began to frown coldly:
"It's a shame that Lin Jinyan still considers you a friend. How could you let her and Lin Wanrong suffer so much in your house?"
For the first time, Feng Siyao did not argue with Princess Yanling. Instead, she stood up and saluted Lin Jinyan:
"This is indeed a dereliction of duty on my part. Although it was not my intention, it caused you to be wronged and injured."
Lin Jinyan hurriedly stood up, supported Feng Siyao, and gently pressed her back to her seat:
"You apologized that day. I also told you that it was none of your business and I never blamed you. Why do you keep saying that?"
As he spoke, he said to Princess Yanling:
"The person in charge of the palace is the imperial concubine. When Concubine Ming returns to the palace, Si Yao will definitely accompany her. How can we blame her?"
