The downpour turned into a drizzle. Lin Jinrong retrieved the hairpin, but still could not find the half of the sleeve. The master and servant searched for a long time, but could not find it. Lychee whispered: "Isn't it possible that the second half of the sleeve was found?"
Where is it?"
Lin Jinrong was not sure. Lu Yan had just torn it off and held it in his hand. Then he grabbed her, hugged her and dragged her. He probably didn't even bother to put away the half sleeve? But after all, he couldn't find it. She couldn't.
Stay here in Tingxue Pavilion until dawn. Lin Jinrong sighed softly and said tiredly: "Let's go. Let's go back first and talk later."
Lychee and Dou'er accompanied her, one on each side. Neither of them was talkative, but they were holding lanterns very well and holding umbrellas very well. When they saw slippery places on the road, they reached out their hands to help her at the right time.
Lin Jinrong gave her a try, but this kind of thoughtfulness made Lin Jinrong feel more considerate and touched. She didn't want to talk now, her whole body was tired and sore, and she felt tired even if she moved, let alone dealt with their questioning.
When she returned to her courtyard, Lin Jinrong's embroidered shoes were already soaked through. Mrs. Zhang answered the door and opened the door. She couldn't hide the curiosity and surprise on her face, and said with a smile: "Grandma, the rain is really heavy, and the shoes are soaked through."
Bar?"
Lin Jinrong glared at Mrs. Zhang unkindly, and couldn't help but look at Lu Mian's small study. The lights were on, and it was obvious that he was inside. Then you can understand Mrs. Zhang's surprised expression. It was strange that the two of them went out together.
, why did Lu Mian run back first in the dark alone and she fell behind?
It was so murderous, and it was like this when the second master came back before. Mrs. Zhang's heart trembled, and she turned around and closed the door with a smile.
Aunt Gui and Yingtao heard the sound and opened the curtain to welcome them out. Aunt Gui frowned and looked at Lin Jinrong, then stepped forward to take off her oily clothes and made a pun: "Things have changed so fast these days."
"It's been a tiring day. Mom, let me go down and have a rest. Just let Lychee and Dou'er take care of me." Lin Jinrong held on to the oil coat tightly. The oil coat stuck to her body. It was wet and not breathable at all, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.
It was comfortable, but she couldn't take it off and let others see that half of her sleeves were missing.
Seeing Lin Jinrong's defensive look, Aunt Gui sighed in disappointment and forced a smile: "Grandma, rest a while, I'm going down first." Since March, Guiyuan's identity has been very embarrassing, unless Lin Jinrong shouts, usually
She didn't dare to stay in the house at any time, especially when Lu Yan came back, she had to stay away from suspicion, which made her even more embarrassed. She always wanted to get closer to Lin Jinrong and improve the relationship, but she was afraid that others would think she was
It's an ulterior motive.
"Let's go with the cherries too." Seeing Grandma Gui's depressed and sad look, Lychee couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do. The mother and daughter served Lin Jinrong together, and it was really hard to deal with such an embarrassing thing again.
.Unless Guiyuan asked to be released, or Grandma Gui was old, it would be unclear.
After Yingying and Grandma Gui had retreated, Lychee quickly helped Lin Jinrong take off her oil coat and the incomplete Luo Yi. Dou'er brought a robe over and put it on for her, waiting for her to change and wash it.
Lin Jinrong soaked in the fragrant hot water for a long time, and then felt that the coldness in his body gradually disappeared, and he became warm from the inside out. Then he half closed his eyes, leaned his head against the wall of the tub, and recounted what happened today.
I went through everything carefully and thought about what to do next.
Seeing that she had her eyes closed and not moving, Lychee knew that she wanted to soak for a while, so she called to Dou'er and walked out quietly. When she walked outside, she saw Yingtao squatting on the porch making ginger soup, so she whispered: "Second Master
Did you change your clothes when you came back?"
Cherry shook her head slightly: "When I came back, I went to the study without paying attention to anyone. When Aunt Gui talked to him, he didn't even look at her."
Lychee sighed and said, "Is the ginger soup almost ready?"
"Okay, before the second master came back, Aunt Gui cooked it." Yingying hurriedly took down the sand pot from the small stove, poured two bowls of hot ginger soup, and whispered: "Sister, this is it.
Will he be sent to you soon? I don't dare to go to the second master's place. He looked so scary before, as if he wanted to eat people."
Originally, it would have been best for Lin Jinrong to deliver ginger soup to Lu Yan, but looking at Lin Jinrong's appearance, it was simply impossible. But we couldn't just let them go on like this. Lychee thought for a while and handed over a bowl.
To the cherry: "Bring it in to grandma and let her drink it while it's hot."
Cherry responded, and Lychee carefully carried the bowl of ginger soup, walked to Lu Yan's study and knocked on the door gently: "Second Master, grandma asked the slave to bring you ginger soup."
There was no sound inside, only the sound of paper turning was heard.
Lychee repeated fearfully: "Second Master, grandma asked the servant to bring you ginger soup. You got caught in the rain, be careful to catch cold."
There was no sound of turning books inside, it was extremely quiet.
Lychee didn't dare to leave, so she stood quietly at the door. After waiting for a while, she heard Lu Mian say: "Come in." There was still anger in his tone, but he was still willing to speak.
Lychee breathed a sigh of relief and gently pushed the door open. He saw Lu Yan sitting solemnly behind the desk. In front of him were papers, copybooks, and a pen dipped in ink. In his hand, he held another book that seemed to be
Halfway through the book, I couldn't figure out whether he was writing a post or reading a book.
Lu Yan looked at her with a stern face, Li Zhi put on a cautious smile and offered the ginger soup: "Second Master, can you drink it while it's hot?" She was really afraid that Lu Yan would get angry and say he was impatient to drink it, so she was really not good at it.
It turned around in the middle.
Lu Yan stared at the bowl of ginger soup for a long time. It seemed that he didn't want to drink it, but he finally picked it up and drank it.
Lychee hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Second Master, grandma asked your servant to come and ask you, do you want to take a bath?"
"Her?" Lu Yan sneered and threw the book in his hand on the table with a sarcastic look on his face.
Lychee quickly lowered her eyes, stood with her hands tied, and said sincerely: "Grandma just can't wipe her face. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she asked the slaves to prepare hot water. Isn't that prepared for you?" After thinking about it, she thought about it.
He said: "My slave, if you say something that exceeds the rules, no matter what, you can't just live this day? Do you really want to let your loved ones hate your enemies? Even if grandma has some shortcomings, there are still many things she has done well.
If there is something wrong with her, please ask the second master to look at the good things about her. Otherwise, you can also ask your uncle and wife to teach her. She is still young, so it is inevitable that she will not be sensible."
Lu Yan silently looked at Lychee. Lychee felt frightened when he looked at her, but his face didn't show it at all, and he became more and more sincere.
Lu Yan looked away and said calmly: "You are very loyal to her, and you don't hesitate to shamelessly lie and act like a good boy to help her." But he seemed to want to catch someone and bite someone to vent his anger.
Being exposed by him mercilessly, Lizhi's face became hot, and he said without hesitation: "That's because grandma is very good to the slave. Even though she is a master and servant, the slave dares to say yes and change her heart." She bit hard.
It means changing your heart to another.
Of course, it's better than treating him. Lu Yan felt irritated, resentful, and unwilling again, but he didn't hear the underlying meaning of Li Zhi's words. If he didn't really want to divorce his wife, if he really couldn't do anything better, he would always
Someone needs to give in. Besides, he is really unwilling, so he doesn’t believe it. Is he really no better than Wu Xiang? Is he really going to let the second wife get his wish? It’s really strange to say that he is the person he hates the most at the moment.
It was not Lin Jinrong, but Lu Shao. His teeth were itching with hatred, and he wished he could relieve his anger by poking two transparent holes.
When Lychee saw that he didn't speak or leave, she said shamelessly: "Second Master, do you want to go over and take a bath? I can talk to grandma, please."
Lu Yan waited for a while before impatiently saying: "Bring me water and clothes here." It was obviously her fault, so why should he make do with her?
Lychee sighed helplessly, curtsied, collected the bowl and exited. She thought to herself that it was better to stay here instead of going to listen to the snow pavilion again, otherwise, rumors would be flying all over the sky within half a day.
After Lychee went out, Lu Yan stared at the copybook on the table for a long time, took out half of his sleeves from his arms, and tore two handfuls angrily. Feeling that it was not satisfying and boring, he got up again and sat down.
He walked around the room and threw the sleeve high to the top of the tent.
Lychee arranged for someone to bring hot water. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw that Lin Jinrong had finished taking a bath and was lying on the couch to dry her hair. Her eyes were wide open, a little dazed, and she was looking at Chengchen in a daze. Then she stepped forward.
Said: "Grandma, did you drink ginger soup?"
Lin Jinrong didn't hear it. Dou'er was holding a fan to fan Lin Jinrong's hair. When he saw this, he winked at Li Zhi, indicating that Lin Jinrong could rest like this.
Lychee took the fan from Dou'er's hand, sat aside and fanned Lin Jinrong: "Grandma, have you drunk the ginger soup?"
Lin Jinrong suddenly came to his senses: "Drink." He looked like he didn't want to talk.
Lychee persevered and said deliberately: "Grandma, the second master didn't change his clothes when he came back. He wrapped himself in wet clothes and went to the study room. He asked for hot water just now, and ordered the slave to come over and ask you for his change of clothes."
Lin Jinrong was startled, and then didn't believe it at all. With Lu Mian's temper, if he didn't slam the door and leave without seeing each other, it would be considered a good thing, and he would take the initiative to ask her if she wanted to change clothes? This girl was obviously lying, so she said: "Why bother asking me, this house
Is there anything in there that you don’t know? It’s up to him to find it yourself.”
Lychee smiled: "But how do the slaves know what the second master wants to wear? You packed all his clothes."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said: "You can find him whatever you want. If he is not satisfied, just carry his suitcase over to him and let him pick out whatever he wants."
Lizhi was extremely helpless: "Grandma, don't you want to live with him anymore? My wife won't agree. If he feels sorry for you, his elders will teach him a lesson. If you do something wrong..." She paused and looked carefully.
Lin Jinrong, seeing that there was no other expression on Lin Jinrong's face, he boldly said: "It's up to you to relent, otherwise how would you live your life? Even if you are holding your breath, think about the people who care about you.
Otherwise, you have to ask the second master where the cut sleeve went."
