Although Lin Zhu had tried very hard to avoid the pits dug by some thoughtful people for her, she couldn't always stay in one place, and she couldn't tell Lin Qinglan face to face that she was guarding against the Zhao family. So, she had no choice but to
Carefully chatting with the female guests and ladies who came to the birthday banquet.
However, Lin Zhu didn't know which of the people who came were related to the Zhao family or people who were familiar with the Zhao family. She also knew whether anyone had evil intentions towards her. However, she should not have the intention of harming others and be on guard against others.
But she was indispensable. Not only was she careful in everything, but she also gave careful warnings to the maids Ming Lu and Mu Jingwen around her. She was determined not to let herself have the chance to be left alone.
It was her mother-in-law's birthday. As a daughter-in-law, Zhao was also assigned a lot of things, but she still paid attention to Lin Zhu's movements at all times, and also ordered her confidants to bring Lin Zhu to her whenever there was an opportunity.
As for the consequences of going near Zhao Yu, she is not concerned about it.
Mrs. Zhao has been married into the Lin family for more than ten years and has already trained many useful people. Even if she is not Zhao's confidant, as long as she gives an order, the servants of the Lin family will still follow her instructions. But there is no
So dedicated. But with Zhao's generous reward, there are still people willing to do things for her.
"Miss Zhu, please come this way. You have been placed in another courtyard." An inconspicuous maid in green walked up to Lin Zhu and pointed to a courtyard some distance away from the courtyard where she was.
"Really?" Lin Zhu looked at the direction she was pointing, and then at the maid in green standing in front of him. Although she was also dressed like a maid, it was different from the Lin Mansion that Lin Zhu had seen before.
The maid's appearance is still somewhat different. "Which courtyard are you a servant of? That's not what the second lady said just now."
Lin Zhu asked in a slightly stern tone, without any trace of gentleness on his face, and his eyes were coldly staring at the maid in green.
"This slave is here to invite Miss Zhu. Please make it convenient for you." The maid in green did not declare herself, but looked arrogant, and did not respect Lin Zhu very much. "I think you don't want to let me go."
The other ladies will wait for you alone." His eyes were very dismissive.
"Okay then, you lead the way." Seeing that she refused to tell her background, Lin Zhu was already a little wary of her.
The maid in green walked in front. Her steps were a little hurried, and she walked forward without caring whether Lin Zhu could keep up.
Minglu deliberately told her to slow down. Such speed would only make Lin Zhu's posture look awkward, but the maid in green didn't seem to hear her and walked straight forward. Moreover, her walking route seemed to be going in a circle.
If Lin Zhu hadn't deliberately written down the route she took, she would have definitely gotten lost in the huge courtyard of Lin Mansion.
"How far is it?" Lin Zhu walked too fast, panting slightly. She stood still and ignored the maid in green's urge to move.
"It's right in front." The maid in green pointed to a yard in front. Although she tried her best to hide her anxiety, Lin Zhu still saw the signs. "Miss Zhu, it's not far ahead," she said.
Then, a little maid with a round face walked out from another direction. Her clothes were the same as those of the maid in green.
"Sister Jiu'er, why are you still here? Madam is looking for you. I'm almost worried. Come with me quickly." The round-faced maid held the hand of the maid in green and started to walk in the direction where she came from.
"Miss Zhu, I'm so sorry. The courtyard is right in front. It's just a few steps away. The servant has to obey Madam Hou's instructions. She can't lead the way." After saying that, he followed the round-faced maid and walked away.
Leave the three masters and servants of Lin Zhu hanging there.
After Lin Zhu saw them leaving, he looked at the surrounding environment with a gloomy face. Apart from flowers, plants and trees, he couldn't even see a single person. If someone was doing something here, no one would probably see him.
"Girl, they did it on purpose." Ming Lu had an angry expression on her face. Mu Jingwen looked at Lin Zhu quietly, waiting for her instructions.
"I know." Lin Zhu nodded. Judging from the current situation, he definitely couldn't go to the yard in front. If he went, there might be some trap waiting for him.
You can't follow the path of the two maids. The round-faced maid is obviously here to pick up the green maid. They will definitely leave quickly and don't give you the chance to follow.
And the most important point is that Lin Zhu is not familiar with the roads of Lin Mansion. If he walks around randomly and ends up in a place he shouldn't go, he won't be able to explain it clearly.
At this time, she regretted her support just now. She originally wanted to see what the conspiracy was, but now she was in a dilemma.
"Have you remembered the way you came?" Although Lin Zhu also remembered some, she was not sure whether she could go back the same way now.
"Don't worry, girl, my subordinates will all remember it." This aspect is Mu Jingwen's strength. She has undergone special training, so of course it is not a problem.
"That's good." Lin Zhu nodded, feeling confident. "Now let's go back the way we came." Lin Zhu looked around carefully and found that no one was watching them.
When walking back, Lin Zhu also found a lot of forks. After all, the road led by the maid in green just now was full of twists and turns. For some routes that she was not sure about, Mu Jingwen would calmly point out that she was on the way.
The mark left inadvertently made Lin Zhu feel relieved a lot.
After walking back less than two hundred meters, a man's voice suddenly came from a fork in the road, "Is it just in front?" and then followed by a submissive voice, "Yes, Master Sun."
These two voices made Lin Zhu suddenly shiver. If he were still in the same place or walked to the yard ahead, he would probably meet these two people soon.
Lin Zhu rushed to the frightened Minglu and the calm Mu Jingwen and waved their hands, and the three of them turned to the back of a rockery. They were so gentle that they did not let the two find any trace of the three of them.
Lin Zhu hid behind the rockery and listened to the sound of footsteps coming from far to near, and then from near to far, until there was no more sound. Then he was completely relieved. Lin Zhu secretly glanced at the man's back from behind the rockery.
, is a white month and a gray figure.
I guess that person just now was Zhao Cheng's grandson Zhao Yu. Huh, it seems that the Zhao family is really determined to use such vicious methods. They want to use the method of ruining their reputation to force themselves to submit. If
Even if Lin Zhu was killed, he wouldn't believe it if Zhao was not involved.
However, the current situation is to go back to where you were just now and don't let anyone find you and Zhao Yu appearing in the same direction.
The three masters and servants of Lin Zhu quickly walked towards the original place according to the route they came from. However, Lin Zhu was still afraid that someone would make a fuss about this matter, so when she approached the original place, she looked for an obvious place.
She was wearing a maid's dress, and her dress was a sky-blue muslin dress that many maids were wearing. Ask her where she could wash her hands.
The maid saw that Lin Zhu's clothes and jewelry were very exquisite, and knew that she might be rich or noble. After all, the people who can come to the old lady's birthday banquet are not ordinary people. So the maid took Lin Zhu with her master and servant very politely.
The three of them walked towards the bathroom.
This time, while walking, she kept meeting people from the Lin family or other guests attending the birthday banquet. The three masters and servants of Lin Zhu also appeared in front of everyone. Even if someone wanted to slander her, she had enough
witnesses to prove his innocence.
Lin Zhu was in a good mood and rewarded the little maid with a gold lock afterward. The happy little maid could not wait to follow Lin Zhu and guide her on all paths. Lin Zhu also chatted with her while she was leading the way, but she didn't care.
He asked her vaguely about the origins of the maid in green and the maid with a round face.
However, her answer surprised Lin Zhu. "As for Miss, there is no maid in green clothes in the house. The round-faced maid you mentioned has not been seen by the servant before. Maybe someone else brought her.
"The little maid was in a good mood because she had won a big prize. Naturally, she answered all the less important questions.
There are rules for the attire of the maids in the Lin Mansion from the first to the third class maids. The first class maids wear water-red muslin clothes. Occasionally, some favored maids will have better clothes.
The clothes are made of some material, but most of them are in this color. The second-class maid is azure, and the one who leads Lin Zhu is a second-class maid. The third-class maid's clothes are blue.
Therefore, the two maids Lin Zhu mentioned were not from the Lin family at all.
After Lin Zhu heard this, his eyes darkened. It seemed that someone had dug a hole for him to jump in, and he had put a lot of effort into it. At least, the two maids would never find them again. There was no evidence, really.
If something had happened, his teeth would have been knocked out and bloody.
However, Lin Zhu did not behave strangely in front of the Lin Mansion's maid. She led the way back to Lin Qinglan's place smoothly.
"Sister Xiaozhu, where were you just now?" Lin Qinglan asked with concern.
"Sister Qinglan, I'm really sorry. I just asked this sister to take me to clean up." Lin Zhu pointed at the maid who had just led the way.
"Second Miss, this servant has gone back." Seeing that she had nothing to do and that she had received a reward, the little maid resigned obediently.
Lin Qinglan didn't notice anything strange, and nodded with a smile. She knew this maid, so she didn't say anything, "I'll be seated later, and you'll sit next to me then." Lin Zhu was afraid.
Restricted, Lin Qinglan said specifically.
"Thank you, sister Qinglan." Although Lin Qinglan was very friendly to him, Lin Zhu didn't want to tell her what had just happened before the matter was clear. Speaking of something without any evidence would not do him any good. It might be spread.
Go out and make people think that they are dissatisfied with Lin Mansion, so they 'slandered' Lin Mansion like this. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support.
