Lin Yuewei raised his head and looked at Lin Zhu with concern, with a little uneasiness in his eyes.
Lin Zhu noticed it and patted his head gently, "It's time for you to take a nap." He smiled comfortingly.
"What should I do, sister?" Lin Yuewei was not as ignorant as a six-year-old child, and his big eyes showed worry about the arrival of several uninvited guests.
"They are just curious, it's okay." Lin Zhu naturally knew that the ladies of the Lin family might be here to cause trouble, but this was not something that Lin Yuewei should worry about, so he comforted him.
"If the third and fourth sisters dare to bully my elder sister, I will avenge you." Lin Yuewei understood the virtues of his sisters and said firmly.
"Okay, go to bed quickly. Only when children eat more and sleep more can they grow faster." Lin Zhu didn't want Lin Yuewei to get involved in such a thing.
However, although Lin Yuewei was worried about Lin Zhu, he could not cope with the problems brought about by his biological age. The child really needed a nap. He slowly fell asleep as Lin Zhu caressed him.
"Keep an eye on your young master and don't let irrelevant people disturb him." Lin Zhu calmly ordered the servants serving Lin Yuewei. For a moment, he thought Lin Zhu was the master of the house, and the servants responded hurriedly.
They didn't react until Lin Zhu led his entourage out. However, they didn't have any objection to Lin Zhu's order to turn away from guests, because except for these words, she had always been gentle and tolerant. In addition, she was generous.
These servants had a good impression of her, so they were all worried about Lin Zhu. After all, the ladies of the Lin family were not economical.
Of course, Lin Qinglan and others would not wait in the yard for Lin Zhu to appear. After all, no one could stand the cold weather.
Lin Yuewei's courtyard also had a flower hall for entertaining guests, so they all gathered there to wait.
After about two cups of tea, Lin Zhu came over with Minglu and others.
When she opened the door and walked into the flower hall, she saw that several ladies from the Lin family had sat down early, each holding a small heater. There were also charcoal pots burning in the flower hall. She felt a burst of heat coming in from the outside.
Lin Zhu glanced at the charcoal basin on the ground and secretly had some thoughts.
Except for the empty seat at the bottom, all the chairs in the room were occupied. Several ladies even glanced at Lin Zhu several times.
Lin Zhu had never cared about these things. She just glanced at the chair lightly. Minglu immediately stepped forward and wiped the non-existent dust on it with a handkerchief, and secretly moved the chair with her hands, thinking that it was okay.
He nodded slightly to Lin Zhu, indicating that he could sit down.
It's not that Lin Zhu meant to be cautious. In fact, he didn't have confidence in these people who didn't have good intentions, so it was better to be cautious.
However, her behavior was even more intolerable in the eyes of Miss Lin. She was so arrogant that she was showing off in front of them. Lin Qingxue, Lin Qingping and others were flying towards Lin Zhu with daggers in their eyes.
But Lin Zhu, who was sitting down with his head down, didn't feel anything.
"I have a low status, but I have a lot of airs." Lin Qingxue snorted coldly.
"Fourth sister, you don't know something. In this world, there are always some clowns who like to hang out in front of people. It's really a headache." Lin Qingping made a gesture of stroking her forehead.
Several young ladies from the Lin family lowered their heads and covered their mouths with laughter. Of course, they looked at Lin Zhu with a lot of disdain.
However, Lin Qinglan, the second daughter of the Lin family, was not included. She looked at the third and fourth sisters with some displeasure, feeling that they had lost their status as Lin family girls, but this occasion was not a good time to mention them. She had to look at it with a slight apology.
Look at the bamboo trees.
Lin Qinglan's attitude was something Lin Zhu didn't expect, but his affection for her deepened even more.
The place where Lin Zhu was sitting could be said to be the closest to the door in the whole room. He felt a bit of cool breeze blowing from outside. Lin Zhu gently tightened his cloak.
She also found that there was tea on Miss Lin's table, but there was no tea on her table. She glanced at the servant standing not far away who was obviously Lin Yuewei's yard, and found that it was Lin Yuewei's closest steward mother. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
For a moment.
The person who was supposed to take care of Lin Yuewei's lunch break appeared here, and followed Lin Qingxue with a fawning look. It seems that it was not a coincidence that this close mother was not with him when he was coaxing Lin Yuewei to sleep.
.
Of course, Lin Zhu's look at this close mother was noticed by Lin Qingxue and others who were always paying attention to her. She did not notice anything wrong. So she felt very unhappy with Lin Zhu's gaze.
"Mother Zhao, you still haven't served tea to this girl Lin Zhu." Lin Qingxue looked at Lin Zhu with a condescending tone and said, "Don't let people say that our Lin family has neglected our guests."
"Yes." The mother in charge, known as Zhao's mother, bowed and wanted to go out to serve tea.
This kind of provocative behavior is usually ignored by Lin Zhu. After all, it is better to keep a low profile on someone else's territory. However, this mother Zhao made her very angry.
"No need," Lin Zhu said calmly. Her refusal made the other ladies of the Lin family a little puzzled, and they all cast curious looks at her. "Although my words are a bit presumptuous, you should just go ahead and do what you are supposed to do.
." Lin Zhu raised his hand towards Mother Zhao and shooed her away like a fly.
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately fell silent. Mother Zhao stood there a little at a loss, neither moving nor moving. She looked at Lin Qingxue with some embarrassment.
"Humph, I didn't know that there are people in this world who are so shameless that they can confidently order the servants of the Lin Mansion. It's not your turn to point fingers here." Lin Zhu has long been displeased with her.
Lin Qingxue, an evil fire burst out without any warning.
"It's really ridiculous. Mother Zhao is the most capable mother in charge of the third aunt. Why do you, a country girl who came out of nowhere, make irresponsible remarks?" Lin Qingping saw that Lin Zhu was so angry that she did not dare to do anything.
Then she started to lecture her. However, her words always seemed to add fuel to the fire.
As soon as she spoke, Lin Qingxue became even more furious.
"Third sister, please stop saying a few words." Lin Qinglan felt that the scene was a bit outrageous. "Fourth sister, sit down." Just now, she heard that Lin Zhu's words seemed to mean something else, but when the two of them spoke like this, she became distraught.
Got distracted.
"You two ladies misunderstood, I did not mean to instruct the servants of the Lin family." Lin Zhu still said calmly, not angry because of Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingping's unruly remarks, or disdainful to argue with them.
"No?! Stop pretending. I didn't expect you, a country girl, to be so scheming." Lin Qingxue didn't listen to Lin Zhu's explanation and said with a sarcastic face, "First please Xiao Qi, and then let him invite you."
Come to the house, and then you can naturally please your grandparents, hoping to get into the Lin family." Lin Qingxue looked confident. As if everything was exactly as she said, Lin Zhu was such an opportunistic villain.
The other ladies of the Lin family all had expressions of astonishment on their faces, and they looked at Lin Zhu with clear contempt.
Lin Zhu was almost amused by her words. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have laughed out loud. I really wanted to say to her, you are overthinking.
"Don't worry, Fourth Miss Lin. The Lin family is so powerful that a little person like me can't climb it. I still have some self-knowledge," Lin Zhu said sarcastically. Since she said something unruly, Lin Zhu felt that
There is no need for me to be too accommodating to her.
The look in Lin Qingxue's eyes was even more disdainful than the people in the Lin family, as if clinging to the Lin family would cause her great grievance.
Lin Qingxue suddenly felt like she was holding a breath in her chest and couldn't get out.
"Also, as far as I know, this Mother Zhao seems to be Yue Yue's personal mother." Lin Zhu said regardless of what everyone thought of her, "When Yue Yue was going to rest just now, shouldn't this Mother Zhao be following her?
Are you by Yue Yue's side? Are you here, aren't you afraid that your master will say you are AWOL?"
At the last question, Lin Zhu stared at Mother Zhao so hard that her face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on her head.
She has always been accustomed to pleasing Lin Qingxue. As soon as Lin Qingxue comes, she rushes to serve her, and has repeatedly benefited from this kind of flattery. She doesn't care whether she neglected Lin Yuewei, because the third lady Zhao
He still liked this daughter the most. As long as he pleases her, he will naturally not be reprimanded or punished by Zhao.
But now that her mistake has been exposed by Lin Zhu and spread out in front of so many ladies of the Lin family, how can she still have a foothold in the Lin family in the future?
At this time, she only hoped that Lin Qingxue could drive Lin Zhu out of the house so that she could find a chance to defend herself and exonerate herself.
"Miss Fourth, it's all the old slave's fault. The seventh young master is very happy about the arrival of Miss Lin Zhu. He has been playing with Miss Lin Zhu. The old slave is also afraid of upsetting the seventh young master, so he doesn't disturb them. Unexpectedly,
I have neglected the Seventh Young Master, and I really shouldn't have done so. Please punish the Fourth Young Lady." Mother Zhao knelt in front of Lin Qingxue and said something specious in order to retreat. Lin Qingxue's face, which had turned dark, turned back.
Seeing that her words had some effect, Mother Zhao felt more at ease. But she still couldn't stand up. She had to come out with a look of repentance.
Lin Zhu saw her talking so coquettishly, and admired her for being able to turn black into white. But this was in the Lin Mansion, and no matter how much he said she was wrong, it would not help. Anyway, it was like this
With so many people watching, I guess her reputation in the Lin Mansion won't be much better.
If Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin really loved Lin Yuewei, they would definitely not let her stay with him anymore. And in this way, Lin Zhu's goal was achieved.
So Lin Zhu just glanced at Zhao's mother who was kneeling on the ground and didn't care at all about her provocation. Because the relationship with Lin Qingxue was already very bad, Lin Zhu didn't care if it got worse.
On the contrary, Lin Qinglan heard some clues from the words between them. Her eyes flickered when she looked at Zhao's mother. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
