Dong Jisheng, who had been waiting very impatiently, saw Mrs. Lin finally appeared at the door of the flower hall with a very ugly face. He was about to reprimand her, but then he remembered the purpose of his trip, so he had to swallow it and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"I have met the master." Mrs. Lin gave Dong Jisheng a standard salute.
"Madam, please get up." Dong Jisheng stretched out his hand to help her up, but Mrs. Lin didn't even wait for his hand to get close to her and she had already stood up.
"Sir, please take a seat." Mrs. Lin directly sat down on the main seat in the flower hall, "I wonder what the purpose of your coming so early is?" Mrs. Lin raised her head and looked directly at Dong Jisheng, as if she wanted to see through him.
Dong Jisheng felt that all his thoughts were spread out in front of Mrs. Lin. He could not express the words to comfort her that he had thought about along the way. He always felt that Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of contempt when he looked at him, as if everything was gone.
The feeling of being under her control.
"Well, I have nothing to do today, so I came here to see Madam and Zhen'er." Dong Jisheng said with some embarrassment.
"So it's like this. I was also planning to go to Zhen'er's yard to see her. Why don't you go there with me?" Mrs. Lin squinted at him, "I think Zhen'er hasn't seen the master for a long time. It's true.
She misses him so much, but she knows she has made a big mistake and has no face to see the master."
Although Mrs. Lin didn't say much, Dong Jisheng's face turned red and blue for a while. He stood there and walked, and didn't walk. He was angry in his heart, but she didn't say a word wrong and mentioned his faults everywhere.
, but there is no complaint against Dong Jisheng.
At this time, Dong Jisheng hoped that Mrs. Lin would vent some anger on him, which would be better than speaking in such a neutral tone.
"It's all my fault. It's almost the Chinese New Year, I'm really too busy, and I've been a little slow to you mother and daughter." In the past, Dong Jisheng would not have said such a thing to Mrs. Lin even if he killed him.
When Mrs. Lin heard what he said, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "What are you talking about, master? How could my concubine and Zhen'er not know about the master's hard work? Although we cannot share the master's worries, we must not give him anything at this time.
The master caused trouble, so I warned Zhen'er that as long as she reflects on her mistakes in the yard every day, the master will definitely forgive her."
Dong Jisheng felt that his face was about to burn. Being squeezed by Mrs. Lin, he couldn't get angry even if he wanted to, so he could only smile dryly and said, "Haha, let's go see Zhen'er first."
Mrs. Lin also felt that the heat was almost done, and if she said a few more words, it would inevitably be unpleasant, so she followed his words and followed him towards Dong Yuzhen's yard.
The two of them walked on the path, followed by several servants. They approached Dong Yuzhen's yard and happened to meet Shuitao bringing Dong Yuzhen's food back.
When Shuitao saw that the lady and the master were coming together, she quickly walked up to them and saluted, "I have met the master and his wife."
"Get up." Dong Jisheng glanced at the food box Shuitao was carrying, "Miss, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Uh, yes." Shuitao glanced at Dong Jisheng and then at Mrs. Lin, looking hard to speak.
"What's going on? Isn't the eldest lady up yet?" Dong Jisheng seemed to have caught something against Mrs. Lin. He looked at Mrs. Lin with an ugly face, as if to say, "Look at the good daughter you taught, it's so late at this time."
He was still lying on a high bed. He was bedridden.
Mrs. Lin didn't even raise her eyes to look at him, she just stood there without saying anything.
"Master Qi, the eldest lady has been up early, but..." Shuitao paused unspeakably.
"Just what? Tell me." Dong Jisheng was a little unhappy at not catching Mrs. Lin's fault. Seeing Shuitao always looking at Mrs. Lin, he was very dissatisfied and asked seriously.
"I went to get the young lady's breakfast early in the morning, but there was nothing in the kitchen. I had to wait for a while, so I was late." Shuitao finished her words in one breath, and then knelt in front of Dong Jisheng, "It's all my fault, it should be
Please forgive me for going to the kitchen earlier to give the eldest lady's orders."
She knelt on the ground in a panic, and the lid of the food box was accidentally knocked off, revealing the food inside. A plate of steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of porridge with only a few grains of rice in the clear soup, and some of the porridge was spilled.
When it came out, there was less than half a bowl left.
Dong Jisheng looked at the scene in front of him, his face was like pig liver. He looked at Mrs. Lin with a very fierce look, as if he blamed her for deliberately letting him see this situation.
"Mother Zhao, put the food away." Mrs. Lin ordered calmly, as if everything was normal, without any explanation or complaint.
"Yes, ma'am." Mother Zhao lowered her head and agreed, quickly walked to Shuitao and picked up the food box.
Dong Jisheng looked at the servants around Mrs. Lin. They all looked familiar. On the contrary, the servant following him had an unnatural expression on his face, but he didn't look ignorant.
"Is this what the eldest lady wants to eat today?" He still didn't believe it, thinking that Mrs. Lin did this deliberately to report Mrs. Liu to him.
"No," Shuitao shook his head.
Dong Jisheng looked at Mrs. Lin with an expression of "I knew there was a ghost in this", but was immediately shocked by Shuitao's next sentence.
"The eldest lady has been eating like this every meal since the lockdown." Shuitao continued.
"What?" Dong Jisheng couldn't believe it, "Ms. Lin, is this your fault?"
Mrs. Lin looked at Dong Jisheng's furious face, her eyes full of sarcasm, "Master, do you think it's possible?"
After saying that, he took the lead into Dong Yuzhen's yard and called Shuitao, "Shui Tao, go and wait for the lady to eat."
Dong Jisheng and his party were left standing outside Dong Yuzhen's yard, looking at each other.
Such a clean and traceless slap in the face made Dong Jisheng feel that even if he stood in front of Dong Yuzhen now, he would not be able to ask her to go to Lin Zhu to help intercede. If his father did this, he would be considered a scumbag.
"Master, are you still going in?" Dong Jisheng's housekeeper asked cautiously after standing outside the courtyard for a long time.
"What are you going in for? Let's go!" As long as Dong Jisheng dared to step in, Mrs. Lin would dare to throw the food in his face. Dong Jisheng was convinced of this. After being married for more than ten years, he had no idea about Mrs. Lin's temper.
Dong Jisheng still knew a thing or two. She didn't care whether Dong Jisheng valued Mrs. Lin or not, but if he mistreated his two children, Mrs. Lin could calmly make Dong Jisheng miserable.
Now it seems that Mrs. Lin must have known from the beginning that Muyue Trading Company was taking action against the Li family, and she might have known more than she thought. Only then did Dong Jisheng realize how stupid he was for actually wanting to use Dong Yuzhen.
Achieving his and the Li family's goals. It was a complete joke in front of Mrs. Lin.
At this time, Dong Jisheng was even more embarrassed. If there was a crack in the ground, he might be able to get in. Since there was no crack in the ground, he could only retreat in embarrassment.
"Zhen'er," Mrs. Lin walked into Dong Yuzhen's room and saw her reading in front of the window.
"Mom, why are you here?" Dong Yuzhen put down the book, stood up and greeted Mrs. Lin.
"Let's eat first." Mrs. Lin did not mention Dong Jisheng. She waved to Mother Zhao to put the food on the table. But it was not the food Shuitao brought from the kitchen, but the food cooked in Mrs. Lin's small kitchen. Although it was also simple steamed buns, pickles and
Rice porridge, but full of flavor.
"Okay, mother, have you eaten?" Dong Yuzhen did not dislike the simplicity of the meals, but ate them happily. These meals were all made of white flour and white rice sent by Lin Zhu. Dong Yuzhen was used to eating them from Lin Zhu.
Without these, the food at home was a little hard to swallow, so Lin Zhu sent her and Mrs. Lin's portions over.
"Well, my mother also ate these." Mrs. Lin nodded and looked at her lovingly as she ate deliciously.
"Thanks to the gift from sister Xiaozhu, otherwise I would have been very sad." Dong Yuzhen said with a pout.
"You're talking nonsense about immortality. You really deserve a beating for your mouth." Mrs. Lin said angrily.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, mother, I won't say it again next time." Dong Yuzhen smiled coquettishly at Mrs. Lin.
"Is there a next time?" Mrs. Lin pretended to be angry.
"No, there won't be a next time." Dong Yuzhen quickly blocked her mouth with steamed buns, fearing that she would say something that would make her mother glare at her.
"You, you have eaten everything you learned from Mother Chang." Mrs. Lin nodded her head and glanced sideways at her daughter's face, which was pretending to be stupid.
After Dong Yuzhen finished eating, Mrs. Lin took her to sit on a chair and faced her with an unknown meaning in her eyes.
"What's wrong, mother? Is there something wrong with me?" Dong Yuzhen asked Mrs. Lin with a smile, "I eat a lot now, and you saw it just now." Dong Yuzhen knew that Mrs. Lin had been worried about her weight loss due to sadness, and now
In order to reassure her, and since Dong Yuzhen had already let go of Dong Jisheng and no longer demanded his attention, she naturally ate more.
"Mother knows it." Mrs. Lin stroked the hair on her forehead, "There's just something, don't be sad to hear it." Mrs. Lin paused and said, "Your father came here with me just now."
"Oh, are you finally here?" Dong Yuzhen nodded indifferently.
"Yes, but when I saw the food Shuitao got, I might not have the face to face you, so I didn't follow him. He has probably left now." Mrs. Lin nodded.
"Haha." Dong Yuzhen sneered softly, "He actually knows how embarrassed he is. It's rare."
Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter's forced smile and held her in her arms sadly, "Zhen'er, it's all my fault that you have been wronged."
"Mom, it's okay. I already understand, it's none of Mom's business." Dong Yuzhen still had tears in her eyes. Facing her father's indifference, saying she wasn't sad would be a lie, but being sad again and again had already made Muru
My heart became cold and hardened.
"This time my father didn't come in. There will be another time. My daughter can't be sad every time." Dong Yuzhen smiled to herself, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and faced Mrs. Lin, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter will
