This farce ended under the strong pressure of Mrs. Lin. The originally perfect birthday banquet was ruined by the calculations of Zhao and others. Although Mrs. Lin did not know what Zhao had done, because the protagonist of the farce was Zhao.
Mrs. Lin was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yu, her natal nephew, so Mrs. Lin was very dissatisfied with Zhao and never treated her well.
Feeling guilty, how could Mrs. Zhao have the courage to complain about Mrs. Lin's attitude? She kept herself low and low to save her face in the Lin family, and carefully cleaned up the mess to avoid being found out that she had tampered with it.
Zhao Yu, one of the protagonists of this farce, not only failed to save Lin Zhu, who he mistakenly thought had fallen into the water, but instead rescued a maid. Because of his poor swimming skills, he almost drowned in the end.
Being rescued by a servant made his already poor reputation even worse, and he was even dubbed a weak young master.
And everyone is not a fool. A man appears for no reason where the ladies are having fun. He has no idea what his intentions are. This kind of behavior is despised by people.
Although the maid who fell into the water said that she accidentally tripped and fell into the water, and she was very grateful to Zhao Yu for helping her. Because Lin Zhu avoided the maid's attack at that time, it seemed that she was far away from the maid.
The distance was quite far. So no one thought that these were all made to plot against Lin Zhu.
It's just that these things can be hidden from others, but not from the Second Madam. Even Lin Qinglan is wondering if this is another trick against Lin Zhu.
After something like this happened, it was natural that some guests could no longer stay in the Lin Mansion. So some people kept saying goodbye and leaving. Lin Zhu felt that she should also leave this place of right and wrong. After all, this birthday banquet did not leave her with anything.
Good impression. If she hadn't been alert, she would have fallen into Zhao's trap by now. Why would she want to stay any longer? Besides, she should have reported peace to Mu Qiyue now.
However, Lin Qinglan left her behind. "Sister Xiaozhu, please stay." In this farce, Lin Zhu was the one who witnessed the whole process after all, so it is estimated that people from the Lin family will have to verify some things with her.
Lin Zhu sighed secretly, thinking that he still couldn't escape. Resigned to his fate, he followed Lin Qinglan to her boudoir to rest and wait for a while. Someone might want to ask her for questions.
Several masters of the Lin Mansion gathered in Mrs. Lin's room. Everyone was cautious, fearing to offend Mrs. Lin again and be offended by her.
But it couldn't stop everyone from secretly thinking about it. Everyone had heard about what happened, but everyone's reactions were different. Madam Yang knew that it was Zhao's natal family who made the fool of herself, so she secretly laughed in her heart. Originally, Zhao
Because of her natal family's status, Zhao always looked down upon her two sisters-in-law, and the eldest lady was often dissatisfied because of this. Now that she had the opportunity to laugh at Zhao, she would not let it go.
The second wife, Mrs. Wu, looked at Mrs. Zhao with complicated eyes because she was confused. Coupled with Mrs. Lin's unkind eyes, Mrs. Zhao was even more worried.
"From the Third Family, is the son-in-law okay?" Mrs. Lin asked, but her tone made it sound like she didn't take Zhao Yu's current situation to heart.
"Thank you for your concern, mother. Yu'er is fine now." Even if Zhao Yu's condition is not good now, Ms. Zhao doesn't dare to say anything. What's more, she just drank a few more sips of water from the pond and caught a cold.
.
"That's good." Mrs. Lin nodded, "It's just that I'm very surprised as to why he ran to the edge of Jinchi."
Sure enough, everyone was like a mirror, knowing that Mrs. Lin would definitely ask. And everyone was waiting for Zhao's explanation. Even Lin Laosan was looking at Zhao, waiting for her to speak.
But how could Mrs. Zhao say so? Could it be that she set up this trap so that Lin Zhu could marry into the Marquis of Hui'an? If Mrs. Zhao said so, the day when she would get the divorce papers was probably not far away.
"Replying to my mother, my daughter-in-law just asked the people around Yu'er and said that Yu'er accidentally got there because she got lost in the garden." Mrs. Zhao lowered her head, "Who knew you would meet someone by chance?
When he fell into the water, he was so enthusiastic that he forgot that he was also poor at water and could not save others.
, but made myself so embarrassed. Now that it has become like this, it has ruined my mother's birthday banquet, which is really inappropriate." As Zhao spoke, her tone became grievances against Zhao Yu.
.It seemed that he was aggrieved because his good intentions failed to accomplish good things and was misunderstood by others. His voice was a little choked.
Mrs. Lin saw a trace of disgust in her eyes when she saw her behavior. The first lady and the second lady, who were familiar with Zhao's character, naturally did not fall for her. Moreover, there was actually a hint of complaint in Zhao's tone.
"Okay," Mrs. Lin's face turned completely dark after hearing this. According to Mrs. Zhao, her nephew who 'accidentally' got lost in the garden where the ladies were having fun almost offended the guests and tarnished her birthday party.
Can't you even ask yourself?
Mrs. Zhao was startled by Mrs. Lin's impatient tone and was afraid that what she just said might give her some bad thoughts.
Mr. Lin and the three brothers of the Lin family were also present. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with this farce, because Zhao Yu seemed to have suffered a loss, they did not want to discuss the merits. After all, Zhao Yu was at fault, but later for
He took a risk to save others.
"Okay, why don't you go and see how your son-in-law is doing? Let the butler prepare some gifts and send them to the Marquis' Mansion, and also say sorry to the Marquis for us." Although Mr. Lin knew that his wife was unhappy, he didn't want to do it because of such a move.
It's a trivial matter, and he gets into trouble with his in-laws.
"Yes, father." Mrs. Zhao responded in a low voice, feeling relieved and finally getting over it.
However, the second wife felt that the matter was not as simple as what Zhao said, but she had no evidence for a while, so she could only watch as Zhao did not visit Zhao Yu for anything.
Mrs. Lin was a little tired after a day of welcoming and sending people off, so she sent everyone back to rest.
The second lady walked the slowest and last because she had something on her mind. However, her thoughtful look also caught the attention of Mrs. Lin.
"Second brother's family, do you have anything else to do?" Old Mrs. Lin's words stopped the Lin family's elders, second master, third master, third master and eldest wife who were preparing to leave.
"It's just something." She looked at the other people who wanted to continue listening, and paused in embarrassment.
"Okay, it's none of your business. Let's all go back." Mr. Lin waved his hand and drove everyone else out.
"If you have anything to do, you can tell me now." Mr. Lin glanced at the second lady.
"I wonder if my father and mother still remember Miss Lin Zhu from the General's Mansion?" The second lady thought it would be better to tell them what happened to Lin Zhu, lest Lin Zhu have to tell General Chang after returning to the General's Mansion.
It would be bad if he came to the mansion again.
"What's wrong with her?" Mr. Lin's tone was a little urgent. Of course he knew that his granddaughter had come to celebrate her birthday. He had been socializing with others and did not meet her. Mr. Lin still felt a little regretful.
Mrs. Lin, on the other hand, was a little surprised by Mr. Lin's reaction. She glanced at him strangely, but didn't say anything. She just waited for the second lady to continue.
The second lady felt that the incident of Zhao Yu falling into the water was not simple, so she told how Lin Zhu was led to a remote yard and the attempted attempt failed.
"She happened to be there when my son-in-law fell into the water. If that maid had made a mistake, she would have been the one who fell into the pond." The second lady said this, leaving Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin to think about the rest.
.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lin's face turned darker than before. She thought of a very bad possibility.
Mr. Lin glanced at the second lady thoughtfully, "Where is she now?" With the second wife's delicate thoughts, he probably would not let Lin Zhu leave first.
"She was also a little frightened by the falling into the water. My daughter-in-law asked Lan'er to accompany her to rest in Lan'er's house." Just as the second lady thought, if something like this happened to Lin Zhu in the Lin Mansion, she would definitely...
It attracted the attention of the two old men, so Lin Qinglan did not let Lin Zhu leave, which was also the second lady's order.
"Invite her here." Mr. Lin was extremely angry at this time. Someone dared to scheme against her in the Lin Mansion. This made him lose his face. If General Chang and others found out, he didn't know what to do.
Taunting him.
The second lady glanced at Mrs. Lin and saw that she had no objection, so she went out and asked the maid waiting outside to go to Lin Qinglan's yard to invite someone.
They are both human beings. When these two things are combined, it is not difficult to see that there seems to be some conspiracy. And it is also aimed at Lin Zhu. However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, the conspiracy did not succeed.
Now what Mr. Lin is thinking about is who is involved in this.
Although Mrs. Lin didn't have a very good impression of Lin Zhu, she didn't want Lin Zhu to get into trouble in the Lin Mansion and offend the General Mansion. So she also wanted to know what happened through Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu was led to Mrs. Lin's house by the maid, and met with the three of them first. Although she felt the expectation in Mr. Lin's eyes, Lin Zhu still regarded him as an ordinary elder and did not show too much emotion.
"Miss Lin Zhu came to celebrate my birthday, but something like this happened. I'm really sorry." Mrs. Lin first expressed her position. Regardless of whether she liked Lin Zhu or not, she did not question whether Lin Zhu's story was true or false. She subconsciously
I think what Lin Zhu said is true.
Lin Zhu glanced at the three of them and did not immediately complain about the grievances he had suffered. He just told them the situation in detail. There was no dissatisfaction with the Lin Mansion in his tone. This made Lin Zhu
The old lady and Mr. Lin feel better.
