In Jinlanyuan, Lin Jinlan was washing and fixing her makeup under the service of a maid, and an old woman beside her was replying:
"Oh? Feelings develop so quickly?"
"Yes, I heard that he was in someone else's house all night."
"What happened next?"
"I was left out for a few days, but I went again early this morning."
"Have you found out which family the lady is from?"
"I heard about it. She is the daughter of an official from Shengjing. Her family seems to have a fourth or fifth rank official rank. It's not big. It's just that she was the only one left alive during this turmoil."
"Oh, she is the only one left alive. Even the daughter of the prime minister's house is useless. It has no foundation and will not be of any benefit to my son. That's all. Let them be."
After hearing the answer she wanted, Lin Jinlan finally relaxed her frown: "Let's just say that the master still doesn't love Xiao Liu. If he did, why would he give him such an embroidered pillow? It just looks more beautiful and is just a toy. "
The accompanying grandma responded: "Yes, the master naturally loves our brother more, and those useless things will naturally not be stuffed into our brother's yard."
"That's it! Okay, it's time for the master to get up. I'll take care of you." Lin Jinlan looked at her makeup in the mirror, smiled, and was very satisfied.
As long as the Lu family is still under her control, it is good. Others can turn a blind eye.

Lin Wanyu, who seemed to be having nightmare after nightmare, finally woke up in the afternoon.
There was no strength in his whole body, and his body was so weak that he couldn't even raise his hands. He could only tilt his head slightly and look around the room briefly.
When Bai Lu came in, she saw Lin Wanyu's eyes half-open. She rushed out excitedly and pulled the doctor in the next room in, and then sent someone to report the news to the young master.
"Sixth Young Master." Lin Wanyu knew that the man in front of her who gave her a familiar aura was the place that Zhao Changsu had arranged for her to spend the rest of her life. No matter how unwilling she was, he finally pulled her back from the gate of hell.
He is her benefactor.
"Thank you, Master Six, for saving your life."
The hoarse voice is really not very pleasant, but being able to say thank you and not seeking death again when he wakes up means that he has lived up to his hard work.
"Miss Lin, I still want to make something clear." Lu Mingyu still has doubts about Lin Wanyu's identity, and he only saves people out of kindness. He doesn't want anyone with dirty intentions to come into his Tomorrow Garden.
"Now that you have entered the Lu family and my Tomorrow Garden, you are my Lu Mingyu's. No matter what happened to you before or what master you had, you must cancel it from today on, so that I can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. Also, I saved your life, if you do anything detrimental to me in the future..."
The ending sounds are long and threatening.
"I'll just chop off your hand, so there's no need to cut your own wrists!"
Lin Wanyu stared at Lu Mingyu blankly, her eyes filled with dullness.
She originally thought that the Sixth Young Master was like an elder brother, tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and would comfort her as gently as in the dream, but she never expected that he would say such hurtful words.
Seeing that Lin Wanyu was completely frightened by him, Lu Mingyu laughed evilly and approached suddenly, almost touching his noses, causing Lin Wanyu's whole body to tense up and his hair to stand on end.
"What? Are you still seeking death? Do you want a dagger or Bai Ling?"
The teasing in Lu Mingyu's eyes was so obvious that Lin Wanyu's chaotic mind suddenly sobered up. She had a vague feeling that this person was not telling lies.
Although Lin Wanyu has been pampered since she was a child, she is not a delicate flower that cannot withstand the wind and rain. She has already died once. Since the King of Hell does not accept her, she will not take her own life easily again.
After thinking about this, her eyes gradually changed from dull, to frightened, to calm, and finally determined.
This small change was clearly seen by Lu Mingyu who was very close to her. He raised the corner of his mouth and straightened up with satisfaction: "Very good, remember, you will be my Lu Mingyu from now on. Listen, my name is Lu Mingyu. "
Lin Wanyu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently.
In this way, Lu Mingyu took out the mutton-fat jade bracelet that he had taken back from Yuyan, and gently put it on Lin Wanyu's wrist. He suppressed her struggle to refuse and said softly: "That maid of yours is not a good person. This bracelet belongs to your brother." Found for you.”
There was no need to say any more unnecessary words. Lu Mingyu knew that Lin Wanyu's life would never be lost again, but his mood still needed to be adjusted slowly.
No, Lin Wanyu's dusty memory was aroused when she heard that her brother had found it for her. She remembered that her brother had said a while ago that he had found an excellent hairpin gift for her. It was an unparalleled treasure in the world and was only waiting for her. He personally presented it to her at the hairpin banquet.
But now, the treasure hunter is no longer here, and this treasure is all her emotional sustenance.
Not even a sesame seed was left in the Lin family. She didn't know how the bracelet got to Yuyan's place, but she just wanted to believe that her brother was looking for it for her.
After all, this may be the only object that has a relationship with a loved one.
Lin Wanyu hugged the bracelet tightly to her chest, feeling grief in her heart again, but she did not dare to cry, she just lowered her head and curled up into a ball, like a kitten licking its own wounds.
Bai Lu, who witnessed the whole process from the sidelines, was also affected and her eyes were red. She made a rough guess about what happened to Lin Yunyu and couldn't help but sigh that she had a tragic fate.
Lu Mingyu came and left quickly, giving Lin Wanyu enough space.
This wound is deep enough, and you can only heal it yourself.
-
After autumn, the weather got cold very quickly. In just a few days, Bailu began to warm Lin Wanyu and Mrs. Tang tucked it into the quilt.
"Girl, your complexion has improved a lot these days. Why don't you go for a walk in the sun?" After getting along with each other for the past few days, Bai Lu deeply felt that Lin Wanyu was a fairy in the sky. She was beautiful but not gorgeous, and her temper was gentle. .
Lin Wanyu nodded, and with Bai Lu's help, walked out of the room for the first time.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was a bit warmer than the soup lady in her hand. It was very comfortable to be exposed to the sun. However, she had not seen the sun for a long time, and it suddenly made her unable to open her eyes, so she had to raise her hands to block them.
The wound on her right wrist hadn't healed yet, so it was difficult to exert force. Lin Wanyu had to hold Mrs. Tang with her left hand and raised her right hand to block the sun.
After getting used to the glare of the sun, Lin Wanyu saw the wrist wrapped in white gauze.
Realizing that Lin Wanyu was looking at it, Bai Lu just thought it was because she was afraid of leaving scars, and quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, girl. The young master has sent me some high-quality jade muscle ointment. I will apply it to the girl when the wound has healed. It must be Not even a single scar will be left!”
"Yeah." Although Lin Wanyu didn't mean it this way, she nodded habitually to what Bai Lu said and accepted everything as it was.
Because Bai Lu was also a concubine of Mingri Garden, she would not go out of the courtyard unless there was anything important. For fear of causing trouble for the young master, Bai Lu only took Lin Wanyu for a few laps in the yard, and then returned when the tip of Lin Wanyu's nose began to sweat. Room.
"I heard that the girl's surname is Lin? Is it Shuangmulin?" Before she was sold away, Bai Lu also learned to read from her elder brother. She could still recognize a lot of simple characters like Lin.
Lin Wanyu looked at Bai Lu in confusion, as if she didn't understand why she said her surname was Lin? There was only a difference in tone between Lin and Lin, but she was not in a hurry to deny it. She just looked at Bai Lu in confusion.
Bai Lu chuckled softly, "Girl, are you surprised that I can read? In fact, girls from a poor background like me are illiterate, but I have a good brother who taught me many words..."
Bai Lu talked endlessly when she talked about her brother, but Lin Wanyu didn't listen to the homely words that followed. She also thought of her brother...
If it hadn't been for this incident, my elder brother would have gone to Nanshan Camp for training. After all, he lobbied his father for a long time before he agreed to let his elder brother take a different path from the family...
"Hey, I'm still down and out, and I came to be a concubine, but it's already very good for me, I met the young master!" Bai Lu mentioned Lu Mingyu again, her face was different from the warmth just now, it was full of admiration and admiration.
"Did you know? The seven or eight concubines in our courtyard are actually orphans rescued by the young master from outside. They are poor people who may die at any time if they don't meet the young master."
Bai Lu's sudden approach broke Lin Wanyu's sad thoughts away, and she was forced to listen to Bai Lu's praise and compliments to Lu Mingyu.
"So, girl, don't be discouraged. The young master is a very good person. None of the harsh words he said that day are true. You can rest assured to recover here." Bai Lu thought simply and felt that it would be great to live like this. of.
But even if Lin Wanyu accepted such a fate, she was still full of resentment towards the imperial power and Zhao Changsu. She could not let go of the hatred of her entire family being wiped out!
It's just that now she has nothing and nothing. She has no idea how to avenge her family's grievances. Unknowingly, she frowned and sat motionless in front of the window for the whole afternoon.
In the evening, Bai Lu was about to pass the meal to Lin Wanyu when she saw Lu Mingyu coming in the afterglow, his whole body covered with a golden halo.
"Young Master." Bai Lu said happily: "Young Master is dressed in white today, he is really a handsome gentleman!"
"Well, where is she?" Lu Mingyu asked Bai Lu, but his eyes had already peeked into the house. Without waiting for Bai Lu to answer, he entered the house first and saw Lin Wanyu sitting in front of the window in a daze.
Perhaps because she was too lost in thought, Lu Mingyu walked up behind Lin Wanyu and she didn't notice it. She was wearing a pomelo pink dress and her hair in the simplest bun. Her eyes were empty and lifeless. She was not crying, but she was exuding sadness. breath.
"Well," Lu Mingyu said softly, fearing to scare her, he paused before continuing: "Change clothes, I will take you somewhere."
Lin Wanyu's body trembled slightly, then she turned back leisurely and only looked at Lu Mingyu. She didn't ask where she was going or whether she wanted to go.
The two looked at each other for several rounds, but in the end Lu Mingyu was defeated: "You are new to Qiantang and haven't gone out for a walk yet. Today I will take you to Yunxiang Restaurant, the largest and most delicious restaurant in Qiantang, to eat authentic Qiantang cuisine!"
After listening to this, Lin Wanyu didn't think it was worth going anywhere, and she didn't want to go anywhere now.
Um... Seeing that the effect was little, Lu Mingyu continued to add more: "Oh, by the way, today the Yunxianglou Theater Troupe played the latest song, what is it called? It's about a woman who got into trouble with a bully at home, and the bully took revenge. After killing their entire family, the woman passed many tests and finally killed the bully to avenge her family..."
