Dong Yuyao locked herself in the room full of grievances and refused to open the door no matter who called.
If the birthday party cannot be held, it will make Dong Yuzhen and Lin Zhu jealous. More importantly, the chance to show off oneself in front of many noble ladies is gone.
Dong Yuyao smashed all the furnishings in the room, including porcelain bottles, etc., and did not stop until the room was full of debris and there was nothing left to throw away. However, she still couldn't get rid of the depression in her heart. She lay on the bed and cried in grievance.
.
Mrs. Liu, who was standing outside the house, heard that the noise inside finally subsided. She was about to knock on the door, but she heard her daughter crying. She felt very sad, but she could do nothing.
She couldn't help but blame the culprit for this situation, but she didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
Taishi Su Shanchang's mother, Mrs. Su, unfortunately passed away on the day before Dong Yuyao's birthday at the age of ninety-three. Logically speaking, at such an old age, it is already considered a joy and a loss. Moreover, Mrs. Su passed away in her sleep without any pain.
Not bad either.
Although it cannot be compared with the people of the royal family, the status of the Taishi is very high and very prestigious. Many officials are disciples of the Taishi, so many people have received funeral notices from the Taishi Mansion, even if others have not received it.
, and heard about it all.
As a result, some banquets and the like were ignored or canceled. Dong Yuyao's birthday banquet could not be held because of this.
It's not that the Dong family won't do it, but that the people they once invited can no longer come. Even Dong Jisheng, who has not yet fully recovered, has to go out to visit the Taishi Mansion.
The opportunity that Mrs. Liu and Dong Yuyao finally got to feel proud was wasted. Dong Yuyao was so frustrated that she threw things in the house to vent her anger.
Compared with Dong Yuyao's reluctance, Dong Yuzhen felt much more relaxed. He didn't have to deal with her in vain, and he no longer had to worry about Lin Zhu suffering a loss here, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Yuyao finally accepted the result. Fortunately, those who could not come sent more valuable gifts than before, which comforted her somewhat injured heart and gave Dong Yuyao some satisfaction for her vanity.
If it weren't for the wrong time, she would have taken out those things and showed them off in front of Dong Yuzhen. Although this would only expose her petty, uninformed, and unworthy nature. But she couldn't see this at all.
Not having to go to the Dong Mansion to attend Dong Yuyao's unknown birthday party also relieved Lin Zhu. She originally thought that there would be a tough battle to be fought, but she didn't expect that it would end in such a dramatic way.
I really felt sorry for Dong Yuyao, Lin Zhu thought with some pity.
This was just a small episode, which only made Lin Zhu relax. It passed, and she no longer paid attention to the Dong family's affairs, because there were more important things occupying Lin Zhu's mind now.
Although Mu Qiyue did not mention the relationship between Mu Qingqi and Lin Qingyue to Lin Zhu, it did not prevent her from getting news from other places, especially after the "little prince" of Prince Qi's palace was in danger.
There are many rumors about their relationship.
Although Mu Zixuan has not been canonized as the crown prince, he is now the only heir of Prince Qi's palace. The position of crown prince belongs to him, so people will call him the little crown prince in private.
There have been rumors recently that this title will be confirmed in the near future.
A series of rumors made Lin Zhu feel a little uneasy. She stayed in her room and thought about it for a long time, and gradually it became clear to her that there might be big twists and turns in Fu Dou'er's return to her ancestors.
From Mu Qiyue's faceless attitude, Lin Zhu could guess that there must have been a change.
When things have developed to this point, Lin Zhu's thoughts have also changed. Ever since this era, she has always warned herself to keep a low profile and not be public. So she always thought that as long as others didn't go too far, she would generally not care about it.
Doing this makes people think that she is a soft persimmon and is easy to control.
Lin Zhu wanted to change this situation, strengthen his own strength, and give Fu Dou'er and himself more power to protect themselves.
"Sister Jingwen, can you please invite Mr. Mu to come over in a few days? If he can't come, Mr. Lu can come." One day after the new year, Lin Zhu said to Mu Jingwen, who had been following her.
.
"I'll go ask." After Mu Jingwen said that, she turned and left. Her position in Lin Zhu's family was very strange. She was Lin Zhu's guard, but her salary was not paid by Lin Zhu, but by Mu Qiyue.
Pay there.
Lin Zhu tried to give her some monthly money many times, but was rejected. He had to find another way, but he never succeeded. He had to let it go.
However, unless she is going out, Lin Zhu does not need Mu Jingwen to follow her all the time, and she is not used to people behind her. Spring plowing will start in two or three months, and then a lot of space will be used. Lin Zhu
I don't want to be exposed in front of Mu Jingwen.
Therefore, Mu Jingwen is not only relaxed here in Lin Zhu, but she also comes and goes very freely.
"Did she say something happened?" Mu Qiyue asked after receiving Mu Jingwen's report.
"Miss Lin didn't say anything. She only said that if Fourth Master doesn't have time, Director Lu can do it." Mu Jingwen shook her head.
"That's it." Mu Qiyue thought for a while and then ordered someone to call Lu Mingtao.
"What do you think?" Mu Qiyue asked after explaining Lin Zhu's meaning to Lu Mingtao.
Lu Mingtao didn't say anything. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said tentatively, "Could it be that Miss Lin wants to change the contract?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Qiyue's eyes flashed.
"Last year, all the output from Miss Lin's place was sold at a high price. Although Miss Lin made a lot of money, compared to our firm, it was far behind. Will she feel a little dissatisfied?" Lu Mingtao said.
There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, and his eyes towards Mu Qiyue were a little cautious.
He knew that Fourth Master seemed to have some strange thoughts about Lin Zhu. What he said was tantamount to slandering Lin Zhu's impression in his mind. But apart from this, he couldn't think of other reasons that would make Lin Zhu
I want to meet both of them.
"Fourth Master, why don't you just go there?" Lu Mingtao suggested when he saw that Mu Qiyue remained silent after listening to his words.
"You go ahead." Finally, Mu Qiyue spoke out, but his tone was a little helpless, as if he was reluctant, but he had no choice but to do so.
Lu Mingtao wanted to ask the reason, but Mu Qiyue glared back. He had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and bid farewell to see Lin Zhu.
When they arrived at Lin Zhu's house, Lu Mingtao sat down in the front hall to receive guests. Instead of letting his servants serve tea, he discussed with Feng Yuanbo for a long time and asked him to bring him some special Zhuji sake to satisfy his craving.
"Brother Feng, you don't know that since I drank that kind of wine, it's really hard to swallow anything else. Only Zhuji sake can barely be drank. Alas, if this keeps going on, I'm afraid it will be a loss for all the money my brother has earned over the years."
All the money will be spent on wine." Lu Mingtao pretended to be pitiful, which made the servants serving around him secretly laugh in their hearts.
Feng Yuanbo also reluctantly went to ask Lin Zhu for instructions, and then brought him a small jar of special tasting wine. He explained that this was what Lin Zhu had promised to give to him.
Lu Mingtao didn't dare to accept the wine before he knew why Lin Zhu wanted to see them. What if after accepting it, she made some unreasonable demands that made it difficult for him to refuse? The one who takes advantage of others has a short hand and the one who eats has a short mouth.
Na.
However, the appeal of the five kilograms of special tasting wine was too great. After a few seconds of fighting between heaven and man, Lu Mingtao finally accepted it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
