On the other side, Mrs. Lin went to Lan Xi's house and asked her confidant maid to guard the door and no one was allowed in.
Lan Xi was kneeling on the ground, Lin was sitting on the mahogany chair, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn.
"You were raised by me, don't I know about your thoughts? I don't care about your little tricks in daily life, but I didn't expect that you, a pickpocket, would dare to plot against your brother. Do you really think you are Mu Mansion?
Is the second young lady a master now?" Mrs. Lin sneered, looked at her daughter kneeling on the ground, slapped her hard, and saw that she was still silent, continued, "Go out and see if any concubine can have you.
With such scenery, who in the entire Linyang City doesn't know that the second lady of the Mu Mansion is both talented and beautiful? If I hadn't allowed Liu Yun to do whatever he wanted, do you think you would still be the most beautiful woman in Linyang City today?"
Lan Xi lowered her head, suppressing the anger in her eyes. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth without saying a word.
"Hmph, you think your wings are strong and you have an idea, don't you? Let me tell you, even if your father dotes on you, it is only temporary. I have told you a long time ago that your brother is our only hope. As long as
He has inherited the family business and become your father's most trusted person, so that we, mother and daughter, can have a future." At this point, Mrs. Lin suddenly swung down the hot tea in her hand and hit Lan Xi's side. She was frightened.
After shrinking back, Mrs. Lin continued, "Don't I still understand your brother's character? If you hadn't set up a matchmaking process for him, would he have fallen in love with Qianlan, and would he have been flirting with Qianlan in Nanyuan?
You should tell me what you want to do, don't you still understand who is your opponent?"
"Mom, I don't." Lan Xi timidly raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Lin, her eyes turning slightly red, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Put away your pitiful appearance, do you think I am your father or Liuyun? My daughter, I have told you a long time ago that only when I, the mother, become the main wife, can you become the legitimate daughter.
We are all in the same boat, why don't you always understand?" Mrs. Lin looked like she hated iron, and pointed at Lan Xi's forehead and cursed angrily, "You said you made small moves over and over again.
, Has Liuyun been deceived? Has she ever been deceived? I want you to spend more time on your piano art and poetry. In a few days, you will be getting haircut, and then your mother will choose a good marriage for you.
Let you fly up a branch, what else are you dissatisfied with, why do you have to go through such an exorbitant effort?"
Naturally, Ms. Lin would not understand what Lan Xi was thinking. She knew that Ms. Lin had always wanted to find the best marriage for her, marrying a wealthy family or marrying a high-ranking official. It would be best if she could be the first wife.
, if you really can't reach a higher level than a concubine, you can still consider it. She always believes that family status is the most important, and her daughter's happiness is not that important.
Lan Xitai understood that she was just a chess piece in her mother's heart, a chess piece that could help her mother to stand upright, help her eldest brother to have a prosperous official career or make a lot of money. She was unwilling to accept it because she was a concubine, so she couldn't get it.
What she wants.
In this case, she must let her mother see clearly who she can really rely on, not the elder brother Adou who cannot help him, but her daughter who is both talented and beautiful. She knows that if her brother has a good future,
, she and her mother are bound to go to heaven, but she has only changed from a usable chess piece to a more valuable chess piece, and the essence has not changed.
The only one who can change the status quo is herself.
"Mom, can't you see it yet? The eldest sister is no longer the Mu Liuyun she used to be. She has changed. She is no longer the young lady who only trusted you." Lan Xi suppressed the hatred in her eyes.
He looked at Mr. Lin calmly.
From childhood to adulthood, she has known a truth: if there is no way to defeat your opponent, then hide your hatred in your heart, hide it where no one can see it, so that you can still be that helpless person in front of others.
The harmless girl who fought back was helpless.
"Of course I know, otherwise why would I want to get rid of the two maids around her." Mrs. Lin replied angrily.
"Mom, do you really think that these things are all because of Wan Qing and Qianlan?" Today's scene was indeed designed by her. She just wanted to verify something. Now she has confirmed that Liuyun has changed and it is true.
She has changed, not because of the advice of the maids around her. She has become a real eldest lady, and the threat she poses to herself has begun to become greater and greater, so much so that Lan Xi feels increasingly uneasy.
Lin's firm control over Liu Yun was suddenly shaken by Lan Xi's tone. She had always known that this daughter was never really gentle and pleasant. She had always been strict in her upbringing. She didn't care about Lan Xi's true personality.
Xing, doesn't care how much she respects and relies on her mother, she just wants a perfect daughter who can fly on the branches and make her mother turn around from now on, that's all.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lin is used to controlling others. Except for the old lady and the master, she rarely listens patiently to others, especially Lan Xi, her daughter who is just a chess piece.
"Mom, can't you see it? The current Liuyun is no longer the Liuyun who relied on you, trusted you, and was unconditionally obedient." Lan Xi stared closely at her mother's expression, hoping to see something from her face.
Seeing a hint of pain, she wanted to tell her mother that her daughter was the only one she could truly rely on, neither Liuyun nor Hongjing could rely on them.
"What do you know?" Ms. Lin narrowed her eyes and looked at Lan Xi carefully. This daughter, who had the demeanor of a lady, was also changing day by day, but she had never observed her carefully.
"My daughter doesn't know anything, but apart from my mother, my daughter grew up with Liuyun and knows her best. She has always been willful and domineering and never listens to other people's words. Mother should know this very well.
"Liu Yun listened to Lin's words just because Lin knew how to induce Liu Yun to obey his wishes. Lan Xi knew this very well.
"So you think it's not the relationship between Wan Qing and Qianlan, but that she has changed, or should you say that the obedience and obedience in the past were all just an act?" If this is true, then it will be a huge blow to Lin.
Already.
Let me ask, what do chess players hate most? It is finding out in the end that they are the chess piece being used.
Such self-consciousness made Lin suddenly embarrassed.
"Mom, I am the only one who really stands by your side." Lan Xi's eyes burst out with bright light, and she was full of energy.
Mrs. Lin silently stared at this daughter whom she had always misunderstood. Maybe some things would be different because of Lan Xi's words.
