Liu Yunxiang, who had been sick for the past two days, felt a little better when she learned that her son had come to see her. She ordered Liu Momo to help her up, sit on the bedside, and look at the door.
After Lin Jinyun saluted, he glanced at Liu Yunxiang's sallow face and asked uncomfortably:
"Are you...feeling better today?"
Liu Yunxiang: "I've been lying down for two or three days, and you just came to the room to ask, where can I go?"
When Liu Momo heard this, he smiled and softened:
"Just now you were talking about the good things about the young master and saying that you miss the young master. Why are you so stubborn now that the young master is here?"
Lin Jinyun knew that he was in the wrong, so he patiently and gently talked to Liu Yunxiang, coaxing Liu Yunxiang to smile before talking about Xiao Tao.
After hearing this, Liu Momo's expression suddenly changed:
"You said Xiaotao climbed into your bed? How is that possible? She is my daughter, and I know her temperament best. She is arrogant and sharp-tongued, but she will never do anything like climbing into the master's bed. Master, are you mistaken?"
Lin Jinyun cleared his throat guiltily, and said in a cold tone the words he had thought of:
"I went out today to entertain my colleagues. My colleague didn't want to be seen by others, so I took him to the house on Ruian Lane. After drinking some wine, I wanted to take a nap, but Xiaotao climbed into my bed and was also touched by me. How can I be wrong when my colleagues bump into me?"
Liu Momo: "Then where is Xiaotao now? I have to break her legs to make the young master lose face."
Lin Jinyun: "I have been betrayed."
Liu Momo was stunned, and after a moment he smiled again:
"Master... are you kidding me? Even if Xiaotao made a mistake, she could have been sent back to the government to punish her. How could you sell her?"
Lin Jinyun avoided Liu Momo's gaze, pretended to be angry, and moved his head to the side:
"How can I joke about this kind of thing? I really sold it."
Hearing this, Liu Momo staggered and grabbed the bed curtain to steady himself.
Liu Yunxiang frowned and said: "Xiao Tao has grown up in the house and knows everything. If she makes a mistake, she will be punished. When you get married, I will just give you a wife. Why sell her?"
Lin Jinyun: "My colleague... has some connections in his family. I made good friends with him just to further my career. We had a great conversation today, but who knew that Xiaotao would do such a thing in front of him. I was so angry. My colleague thought I was a lecher and walked away on the spot. It would be easy to ruin my future and sell her out."
After Liu Yunxiang heard this, her expression immediately changed:
"really?"
Lin Jinyun: "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, just ask Lin Li."
Lin Li: "It's true madam. The young master spent a lot of money on this matter. It finally started to happen, but it was all ruined by Xiao Tao. The young master was very angry."
When Lin Jinyun heard this, he secretly thought that keeping Lin Li would be useful.
Liu Yunxiang turned to glare at Liu Momo:
"What did Xiao Tao do? I trusted her and asked her to see the house. But luckily for her, she actually saw the young master in bed!"
Liu Momo cried and begged Liu Yunxiang and Lin Jinyun to redeem Xiao Tao.
Lin Jinyun pretended to be still angry, rolled up his sleeves and left. Behind him, he heard Liu Yunxiang's voice of accountability and Liu Momo's plea for mercy. While Lin Jinyun breathed a long sigh of relief, a hint of unbearability flashed in his heart.
But when he thought of Zhou Yuexue, the trace of unbearable feeling in his heart disappeared. He returned to his yard with brisk steps, not forgetting to tell Lin Li to leave the house less in the future and not to let Zhou Yuexue see him.
