The room was quiet.
Huang looked at Lin Yunjing in disbelief, unable to believe her ears.
During these days, worries, uneasiness, and expectations were all recurring in her heart. She had imagined many possibilities, but Huang never thought that the root of these would be her daughter.
It's Yun Jing who doesn't want this marriage!
Grandma Hong couldn't come to her senses for a long time. She was afraid that Huang would be hurt if she got anxious, so she was confused in her thoughts and instinctively patted Huang's back.
How could Lin Yunjing not feel sad when she saw her mother looking like this?
"I know you value this marriage very much, but I still can't feel at ease, so I asked the second sister for help." Lin Yunjing took a deep breath and forced a smile, "The second sister said at the time that she had a way, but I was afraid she couldn't use her words. Great to hear.
I'm not afraid of her saying unpleasant things. In order to achieve her goals, she often tells lies.
But what is fake is fake. I know very well what my second sister is like to me.
I just didn't expect those nasty words to reach your ears. "
Huang's eyes turned red.
She is not a fool, and of course she understands that lying is sometimes more convenient and faster than telling the truth.
She was more sad now.
"Yun Jing, why didn't you tell the truth to your mother before?" Huang held Lin Yunjing's hand tightly, rubbing her thumb back and forth on the back of her hand, her voice became hoarse little by little, "You are really so unwilling to marry Xu Guogong Fu, tell mother, she will definitely go to the old lady to ask for help. If mother hadn’t misunderstood the princess today, would you still have kept it secret? "
Lin Yunjing lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Huang asked, but there was no answer from Tulin Yunjing.
She knew what the answer was.
It was precisely because she was so satisfied with the marriage and prepared so excitedly that she could not see her daughter's true feelings.
Yun Jing's "help" was ignored by her.
"It's your fault, mother. If mother had understood you earlier, there would be no need for the princess to think of ways to deal with it." Mrs. Huang sobbed softly, full of regret.
Lin Yunjing hugged her: "Thank you for letting me do whatever you want."
After talking about it, he gradually calmed down.
Lin Yunjing then asked Aunt Hong: "Who did mom hear those words from? She can talk about the things in grandma's house to the outside world at will? That is to say, my second sister and I know the inside story, and we don't know the inside story. Yes, don’t we all misunderstand the relationship between our sisters like my mother?”
"You want to punish that person?" Grandma Hong was startled, "That person is in front of the old lady. The matter of Zai Shou Yuan is not our turn..."
"Then we have to let grandma know," Lin Yunjing insisted. "Today we are gossiping about the sisters, but what about tomorrow? Grandma has many important things in front of her, such as the third uncle's business that was mentioned just now and was used as a cover by Yun Yan. , I don’t know the situation, but what should I do if the business is ruined by those gossips everywhere?”
Grandma Hong looked at Mrs. Huang with a very embarrassed expression.
The older girl is indeed right.
But the people who inquired in the old lady’s yard were none other than their master and servant!
It's too unkind to stuff money into someone's mouth to ask for advice, but to sell someone to someone else and then complain to the old lady.
If word spreads, the reputation will be ruined!
Lin Yunjing saw Grandma Hong's hesitation. When Lin Yunyan discussed with her just now, she also guessed that this would be the case.
"Mom, tell me what's right. It's up to the second sister to make the decision about grandma," she lowered her voice and advised, "the second sister knows what's appropriate, let grandma make the decision."
Grandma Hong said: "Miss Qingyan said that, in order to coax her to talk, I also stuffed money..."
Lin Yunjing nodded and said, "Just these two sentences, mother goes to Bao'an Garden and says."
On the other side, Lin Yunyan, who returned to the house, patiently waited for news about Lin Yunjing.
Not long after, someone reported that Grandma Hong was here.
Wan Yue led Grandma Hong to the secondary room. Lin Yunyan knew the answer after looking at Grandma Hong's embarrassed expression.
"Madam asked me to apologize to the princess." These words, Madam Hong said very candidly, "Madam did not notice the eldest daughter's concerns, and asked you to think of a way for the eldest daughter, and even misunderstood you. Madam's heart I feel very sorry.”
"My aunt is doing it for my eldest sister's benefit," Lin Yunyan laughed. "It's also for my eldest sister's sake that my aunt is doing everything possible to find out."
Grandma Hong talked about money again.
Lin Yunyan nodded and went to Zaishouyuan.
A table is being set up at Xiao Duan's place.
"You kid, you should tell me in advance that you are coming for dinner," Xiao Duan said hurriedly to Qing Yan at the table, "Hurry up and get some of Yun Yan's favorite dishes from the kitchen."
Qingyan agreed and turned around to go.
"Sister, wait a minute," Lin Yunyan said, "I have something to ask."
Qingyan's back felt cold.
The princess' voice sounded like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, could it be...
"I went to Qingpu Courtyard today, and my second aunt looked at me very strangely. Does sister know what's going on?" Lin Yunyan didn't wait for Qingyan's answer, and said, "Sister is also in a low mood, saying that she took me We are sisters, but I am just doing it for face. Grandma, listen to me, do these words sound familiar?"
Xiao Duan's brows wrinkled.
Of course it sounded familiar to her.
That night, Yun Yan's words were so different from her usual attitude that she was dumbfounded.
How not to keep it fresh in your mind?
But why would the second room know about it?
Yun Yan is not strict with her words and promotes false sisterhood everywhere?
Xiao Duan shook her head in her heart, impossible, then...
Her eyes fell on Qingyan.
Qingyan shrank her neck involuntarily when she saw the old lady's sharp eyes.
"Sister Qingyan was the only one who heard me talking to my grandmother, right?" Lin Yunyan said in a deep voice, "You said something about me outside? You are really..."
"I, slave..." Qingyan was flustered by the question and lied, "No, slave didn't say anything."
Lin Yunyan asked Xiao Duan: "Should I call my second aunt and eldest sister and ask them to tell me the source of the news?"
Xiao Duan raised her hand to hold her forehead.
Several masters confront each other over gossip?
Shame on you!
It was the maid next to her who was making such a fuss, so embarrassing!
When Xiao Duan thought of that scene, she felt on pins and needles.
No, absolutely not!
Lin Yunyan knew the little Duan family very well. Between calling the second roommate or forcing Qingyan to speak, her grandmother chose the latter without hesitation.
"Say it," said little Duan, "don't let the mothers do it."
Qingyan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of white and pulp.
How do mothers take action?
The old lady has always been kind, and she punishes those around her very gently when they do something wrong. This is the case in Zaishouyuan, and other places in the uncle's residence do not punish people severely, but Qingyan knows what it is like to deal with servants who make mistakes outside.
However, she didn’t dare to admit her mistakes honestly!
Nanny Ruan stood aside, unwilling to do such evil things as slapping her mouth or hitting her with a board. She thought for a while and said: "Old madam, Princess, in the afternoon, Nanny Hong came to talk to Nanny Qi. After all, this maid may have told Grandma Hong."
"It's Qingyan who went to get snacks today, right?" Grandma Cen exclaimed, "Old madam, I seem to have seen her sleeves being heavy when she came back."
"Excuse me, Mother Cen, to go and search her house," Lin Yunyan said, and then said to Xiao Duan, "She can use Grandma Hong's money to say things she shouldn't say now, and in the future, she will also throw you away for the money. To the back of the head!”
Involuntarily, a sense of annoyance came out of Lin Yunyan's tone.
She didn't try to hide it, it was her true feelings.
She was the one who set up what happened today, and she was the one who planned it, but it was also she who saw Qingyan take away Xiao Duan's life-saving money.
