"Are you telling the truth?" Lin Qinglan looked at Lin Zhu in disbelief, her face full of surprise.
"If I hadn't experienced it personally, I wouldn't have believed that something like this would happen in the Lin Mansion." Lin Zhu was led to a strange courtyard. After discovering that something was wrong, he returned to the two strange men he heard there.
He told Lin Qinglan one by one about the conversation. Of course, his face was very serious and ugly.
"That's so presumptuous. Who dares to do such a thing in the Lin Mansion?!" Lin Qinglan was very angry when she saw that Lin Zhu didn't seem to be lying.
"I don't know either," Lin Zhu shook her head. Although she had a suspect in her mind, there was no evidence, so it was difficult to say it in front of Lin Qinglan.
Lin Qinglan also had no clue. She had never experienced this kind of situation. However, as the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, she still has everyone's demeanor. "Sister Xiaozhu, I will apologize to you here first. It's all an oversight in the family. You
Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.”
"Sister Qinglan, I have no evidence for this matter. I guess no one will believe it if I tell it. Instead, they will say that I have slandered the reputation of the Lin family, so it's better not to make a big deal about it." Lin Zhu advised. "It's just that today, for the sake of
There are so many ladies and ladies coming to celebrate the old lady’s birthday. If any one of them is not as lucky as me and escapes the danger in time, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lin Zhu raised the nature of the incident to several levels. Although the truth of the matter was probably just to set up her, if the Lin Mansion really thought so, then they would just make it a trivial matter. Even if they were to pursue it,
If I go down, I won’t let myself know.
Moreover, Lin Zhu had no confidence in whether Mr. Lin could uphold justice for him. That's why he mentioned the matter to Lin Qinglan even more seriously.
Obviously Lin Qinglan also thought of this, so she felt very embarrassed. Although she did not know the true relationship between Lin Zhu and the Lin Mansion, she also clearly knew Lin Zhu's status in the General Mansion. Therefore, in her opinion, she could not
And offended the General's Mansion.
"Sister Xiaozhu, don't be angry first. I'll go talk to my mother." Lin Qinglan knew that she couldn't handle such a matter by herself. She had to let her elders handle it.
Lin Zhu didn't know what the second lady's status was in the Lin Mansion. Or whether she would handle the matter fairly after knowing the truth? Therefore, the person she wanted to inform the most was actually Mr. Lin.
"Sister Qinglan, please stop being busy. Maybe what I said is a bit exaggerated." Lin Zhu still wanted her to tell Mr. Lin about this. "If I tell the second lady like this, will you think I am being unreasonable?
"
"Sister Xiaozhu, don't worry. In fact, mother has wanted to meet you for a long time. She is very curious about you." Lin Qinglan didn't know why her mother was curious about Lin Zhu. "Besides, if mother can't handle it, why don't you still
Do you have a father and grandfather?"
Lin Qinglan took the initiative to mention Mr. Lin, which reassured Lin Zhu a lot. As for meeting the Second Madam, she had no objection. "Well, I hope it won't trouble the Second Madam too much."
Lin Qinglan asked the maid to go find the second lady. She said she had something important to discuss with her. The maid took the order and left.
After a while, the second lady came to Lin Qinglan's boudoir with a confused look on her face. "Lan'er, has something happened?" Because the maid said it in such an important way, the second lady thought something had happened to Lin Qinglan? She was very worried.
in a hurry.
"Mother, this is Sister Xiaozhu that I mentioned to you." Lin Qinglan first introduced her mother and Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu also obediently stepped forward to greet her.
"I've met the Second Madam." Although Lin Zhu lowered his head slightly, he could clearly feel the Second Madam's appraising eyes.
Lin Zhu was also here, which the second lady did not expect. However, she quickly adjusted her mood. "I have heard Lan'er mention you a long time ago. You are indeed gentle and lovely." The second lady smiled slightly.
"Okay. Stop standing around. Come sit down and talk."
The second lady gently waved her hand and asked the maids accompanying her to leave the room. "You all go down and let's have a good talk." She looked like an elder having a heart-to-heart talk with a junior.
Lin Zhu asked Minglu and Mu Jingwen to follow them out, but she still signaled them not to go too far and to see if anyone was listening in the corner.
"Mom, this is actually what happened." Lin Qinglan told the second lady what happened to Lin Zhu before.
Seeing an expression of disbelief on the second lady's face, Lin Zhu felt that she needed to say something, "Please forgive me, second lady. Although you may not believe it, such a thing could happen in the Lin Mansion. In fact, I also hope that
I'm too worried. Although I don't know the two maids, one of them is named Jiu'er. There are also the two strange men, one of whom seems to be Mr. Sun from a certain family. I believe that Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet
, there are not a few people with such status."
The Second Madam didn't expect that Lin Zhu would speak so clearly. Usually when women in a boudoir encounter this kind of thing, they either swallow their anger or let their family members handle it. She has never seen such a person come to her door.
However, although the second lady felt that the matter was too strange and felt that some aspects could not be justified, she felt the same as Lin Qinglan and did not think that Lin Zhu was lying. Since she thought it was true, she had an intuition that someone might be targeting Lin Zhu for this matter.
Made of bamboo.
The purpose was very obvious, which was to destroy Lin Zhu's good reputation. Otherwise, he would not have chosen a remote courtyard and then let two men go there. But the second lady couldn't figure out why the man did this. He and
What kind of hatred does Lin Zhu have that he would use such vicious methods to embarrass a little girl?
Moreover, if her guess is true, then isn't the person in charge someone from the Lin Mansion? Thinking of this, the second lady's face turned very bad. If there was such a person in the manor, if word spread, it would be very harmful to Lin.
The government was a big blow. Putting aside the reputation for the time being, wouldn't these Lin family children who have left the government and those who have not left the government, been married and those who have not been married, all be implicated?
Who has such evil thoughts and wants to bring Lin Mansion to a place of eternal destruction?
The second lady thought about it and thought that she had to ask Lin Zhu first. After all, she was the victim. "Miss Xiaozhu, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter and give it to the general's office." The second lady first started.
Express your attitude, and the most important thing is to tell Lin Zhu that only she or the general's office knows about this matter, and it is best not to spread it to outsiders.
"Thank you, madam." Lin Zhu had a grateful smile on his face and seemed to be relieved.
This performance made the second lady feel a little relieved. She felt that Lin Zhu was not a petty person, and was very stable. Logically speaking, this incident happened before lunch, and she could not hold her breath until then.
She quietly mentioned it to Lin Qinglan, and told herself so carefully. Thinking about it, she also knew that this matter should not be spread to others without having to mention it herself.
The second lady asked Lin Zhu many details about the matter, and then walked away with the maids with a stern face.
"Sister Qinglan, I'm going to embarrass my wife." Lin Zhu had a guilty look on his face.
"Sister Xiaozhu, don't worry too much. Mother is angry because of those gangsters, it's none of your business." Lin Qinglan felt that Lin Zhu was frightened, so she patted her hand, "And you were also frightened by this incident.
Just rest here first."
Lin Zhu wished she could not leave Lin Qinglan's yard at this time. She was also afraid that some people would fail her plan and plot against her a second time. After all, it was impossible for the second lady to find out the truth of the matter in a big way.
The most likely thing is to discuss it with the second master of the Lin family. Maybe it will alert the enemy and make Zhao take precautions. Therefore, it is crucial to find a safe place by yourself at this time.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zhao also learned from her servants that her nephew Zhao Yu had not succeeded. After he went to the yard, not only did he not see anyone from Lin Zhu, there was not even a ghost.
Zhao Yu was extremely reluctant. He felt that given his status, why would he use such means to seduce a girl from the countryside? If his grandfather Zhao Chengyan hadn't ordered him to capture Lin Zhu, he wouldn't have done it at all.
I'm coming to the Lin Mansion for some kind of birthday banquet. If I have this time, I might as well go talk to the beauties in the neighborhood.
Therefore, after not seeing Lin Zhu in the courtyard designated by Zhao, Zhao Yu also held back his anger and complained in his heart that Zhao was not doing things well.
In fact, Mrs. Zhao also wondered why Lin Zhu was so smart and managed to avoid her plot. For fear of getting into trouble, Mrs. Zhao had already sent the two maids away. It was probably difficult to see them in the capital.
Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to do something more, but the people she secretly sent to monitor Lin Zhu sent a message back saying that she and Lin Qinglan, the second roommate, had been staying in the boudoir and did not come out. During this period, the second wife also went to sit for a while.
This made Mrs. Zhao, who was a little guilty, a little scared. She was afraid that Lin Zhu would tell the second lady what happened and cast doubt on her. Thinking of this, she gave up the plan. And she quickly sent someone to warn Zhao Yu not to act rashly for the time being.
.
And she herself pretended to be nonchalant and mingled among the guests again to prove her innocence.
After the second lady walked out of Lin Qinglan's house, she did not look for anyone. Instead, she returned to her yard and sat quietly for a while. Her face was not good, and she looked so gloomy that she was about to fall into the water. The maids around her
No one dared to step forward.
Not long after, the second lady returned to her usual demeanor. She straightened her clothes and walked out. Just now, the second lady thought about it carefully. Now is not a good time to solve the matter, at least before sending away the guests.
Before that, the Lin Mansion must maintain the current calm.
As one of the hosts, the second lady had no reason not to appear in front of the guests. So, she tidied up her appearance and took the maids back to the lively old lady's yard. (To be continued. If you like this work
