In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Manwen and his entourage arrived at the center of Jinghua City - Ronghua Street, a national micro-cultural heritage and a concentration of nobles.

Ronghua Street still retains the streets and alleys of the Qing Dynasty, and all the houses are also antique courtyards, which are arranged on both sides of the street.

When the car arrived at the intersection of Ronghua Street, it was directly replaced by a sedan chair.

"Manwen, don't be nervous. ”

Second Mrs. Lin, who was sitting in a sedan chair with Ye Manwen, patted Ye Manwen's hand: "After a while, the people you want to meet are all your family, besides, there is a mother." ”

Second Mrs. Lin brushed a strand of broken hair between Ye Manwen's sideburns behind her ears, staring at Ye Manwen with a wrong eye, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, her daughter was handsome.

Under the strong request of Second Mrs. Lin, Ye Manwen changed into a set of moon-blue cheongsam, pulled up his hair in a bun, and inserted a simple hosta diagonally between his sideburns.

Sitting there quietly is like an ancient painting. It's so beautiful that it's hard to take your eyes off it at a glance.

Second Mrs. Lin went from Nanping to Jinghua City and watched all the way directly.

Ye Manwen has long been used to it, he opened the curtain of the sedan chair, looked at the rapidly regressing ancient buildings on both sides, and looked in a trance:

From this moment on, her life began to take a different track.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the main gate with a plaque of "Lin Mansion", Ye Manwen took Gui Ma's hand and got down from the sedan chair, and saw two lifelike stone lions on the left and one on the right in front of the Lin Mansion at a glance.

"Welcome home. ”

The door slowly opened, and before anyone saw it, the sound came first.

I saw that in front of the mansion, standing neatly on both sides of the road, two rows of servants and housekeepers in red robes, Ye Manwen had just stepped into the mansion, and dozens of people bowed their heads in unison, bent over, and saluted in a standard manner.

"Sister Manwen~"

As soon as Ye Manwen stepped into the mansion, he saw a familiar figure running over under the banyan tree in the gatehouse, and Ye Manwen smiled at him: "Mo." ”

Lin Zhimo's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were shining and he stared at Ye Manwen: "Sister Manwen, are you really my sister?"

Second Lady Lin smiled at Lin Zhimo: "You kid, look at what you said, Manwen is my daughter, not your sister, is it still an outsider." ”

Lin Zhimo scratched his head and smiled brightly: "Auntie~, don't I dare to believe it? Sister Manwen is my own sister, I can't ask for it." ”

Lin Zhimo immediately patted Ye Manwen's chest, and said proudly: "Sister Manwen, from now on, I will be your own brother, if someone bullies you in the future, just tell me, I will beat him to the point that he doesn't even know his parents." ”

Ye Manwen shook her head and smiled, Zhimo's appearance made her have a little liking for this strange Lin Mansion, she leaned over Lin Zhimo's ear and whispered:

"What about Ziyan? How was he doing during this time? ”

Although Ziyan's condition has recovered, Ye Manwen still can't rest assured, especially when he learns that the incident four years ago was caused by her, and he pities Ziyan's suffering and grievances for her.

"Ziyan is very good, Sister Manwen, you don't have to worry. ”

Speaking of Ziyan, the smile on Zhimo's face became even brighter: "I have discussed with Ziyan to build a manor in Maple Leaf Village, and the address has been selected, and we will start construction on the first day of August." ”

When Ye Manwen heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Pastoral life may be more suitable for Ziyan who has no quarrel with the world." ”

Ye Manwen's return to the sect is a big event for the Lin family, as the descendant of the Lin family, Lin Zhimo will definitely have to come back, and even Lin Zhichu, who was imprisoned by Mrs. Lin, was released.

"Okay, okay, you two sisters and brothers have time to talk, the old lady is afraid that she is in a hurry at home, let's go to Songhe Garden first." ”

Second Mrs. Lin was very happy when she saw Ye Manwen and Lin Zhimo chatting hotly, which showed that her daughter was not alone in the Lin family.

The three of them each took a small sedan chair, entered the courtyard of the second entrance, turned through the bamboo forest, and arrived at the Songhe Garden where Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin lived.

The little maid guarding the gate of Songhe Garden saw the sedan chair appear, and said in a loud voice:

"The eldest lady has arrived. ”

Entering the Songhe Garden, there is a sea of roses, and the living water in the middle of which is drawn from somewhere, runs through a small river, and there is no arch bridge above the small river, but reaches the opposite bank by boat.

When Ye Manwen arrived on the shore, the layers of maids had already passed the word into the Yuqin Courtyard, and Mrs. Lin, who had been waiting for a day, couldn't wait, and took Mrs. Lin's hand to take the lead in coming to the shore to greet her.

"My hard-working son~"

As soon as Ye Manwen stood firm on the shore, he was tightly hugged by the old lady into her arms, and was infected by the old lady, and the second lady Lin, who had been crying all the way, burst into tears again, and the tears couldn't stop.

waited for the old lady to cry before Mrs. Lin spoke:

"Mother, don't cry, it's a good thing that Manwen is back, this is near the shore, it's not good to choke on the river breeze for a while. ”

Lin Zhimo followed a few words of persuasion, and the old lady stopped crying, but he just took Ye Manwen's hand and refused to let go for a moment, his eyes slid over Ye Manwen's face inch by inch:

"Like, these eyebrows, these eyes are exactly the same as when Jay was young~"

When Mrs. Lin saw the old lady mention the deceased brother-in-law, she was afraid that it would be another crying scene, so she hurriedly said loudly: "Mother, my father is in a hurry inside, let's go into the house and talk about it." ”

The group was surrounded by servants, and walked across the bank of the small river, which was the Imperial Qin Temple.

"Welcome home!"

The Yuqin Courtyard is different from other courtyards, all the men, each of them is strong, dressed in black, not smiling, obviously the Lin family's bodyguards or something.

In the main hall of the Imperial Qin Courtyard, Old Man Lin sat on the top, Father Lin sat on the left side, followed by Lin Zhichu, who had been detained for a long time.

Entering the hall, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin sat on the right side of the head, and Steward Lin took a futon and placed it in front of Ye Manwen, and whispered:

"Miss, you have to bow to the old man and the old lady first. ”

Three kneels and nine knocks.

Before entering the door, Second Lady Lin had instructed.

"Granddaughter Manwen greets her grandfather and grandmother, and wishes her grandparents a long and healthy life. ”

Ye Manwen held back the awkwardness in his heart, and after the salute, he toasted tea separately, and the old man and the old lady gave a brocade box as a meeting gift, as for what was inside, Ye Manwen didn't know.

The old lady personally stepped forward to help Ye Manwen up, patting Ye Manwen's hand:

"Good boy, you will be the eldest lady of our Lin family in the future, and we will get back the grievances you have suffered over the years, you can rest assured. ”

The old man answered: "As for opening the ancestral hall and changing the family tree, I am still discussing with the clan elders, the date is almost set, when the time comes, the people of the Lin clan will come, these days, you will follow your mother, first get familiar with the clan." ”

The old man paused, and looked at the second lady Lin who was crying with a handkerchief on the side: "These things will be said to you later, let your eldest aunt tell you in detail later, you will kowtow to your mother first, and it will not be in vain for your mother to shed tears for more than 20 years." ”

Where was the second lady Lin willing to kowtow to Ye Manwen, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Respect and order, Manwen, you first give your uncle and aunt a salute." ”

Regarding Ye Manwen's return, Father Lin was obviously a little unhappy.

Because of his long-lost daughter, the old man didn't mention the matter of returning to the sect in half a sentence, so when Ye Manwen saluted, he couldn't wait:

"Dad, since you want to change the family tree, then add the fine name at that time, she has been very bitter all these years. ”

"Shut up!"

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

The old man glared at Father Lin fiercely, and glanced apologetically at Mrs. Lin, who was not moving:

"Our Lin family only has one granddaughter, Manwen, if you dare to mention it again, don't blame me for driving you out of the Lin Mansion. ”

Father Lin stood up from his seat suddenly, straightened his neck and said disapprovingly: "Dad, the second brother's child is a treasure, and my Lin Hao's child is not even a root grass?"

"You have been partial to the second brother since you were a child, I, the eldest brother, have never said a word, but I can't let my children suffer such grievances with me, the blood of the Lin family is clearly flowing, but you have to be outcast, lonely, is this the family style of our Lin family?"

"Presumptuous!"

Old Man Lin's palm fell heavily on the Taishi chair, and he glared at Father Lin angrily: "Lin Hao, are you going to rebel?"

The Lin family tried their best to hide Liu Ruxi, an illegitimate daughter, from outsiders, so as to preserve the Lin family's centuries-old scholarly family style.

Father Lin is good, he can't wait to tell the world, but he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

An originally warm confession ended with a quarrel between the old man and Father Lin.

Everyone walked out of the Yuqin Courtyard, and Lin Zhichu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Ye Manwen, you come with me, I have something to say to you." ”

Second Lady Lin frowned.

Ye Manwen gave the other party a steady look, and followed Lin Zhichu to the willow tree by the river, where a piece of catkins flew.

Lin Zhichu turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ye Manwen, do you really think that the second aunt got you back, and you are the eldest lady of the Lin family?"

Ye Manwen didn't speak, just looked at each other quietly.

The corners of Lin Zhichu's mouth showed a hint of disgust: "All the children of the big family have been receiving higher education since their mother's womb, the distance between you and Zhilin is very different, you ........"

Ye Manwen frowned and interrupted, "Mr. Lin, what exactly do you want to say?"

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had helped her in the Neon Dress Embroidery Workshop in Guangbei City, and Ji Yun and Lin Zhichu were good friends, she would have turned around and left a long time ago.

She entered the Lin Mansion not for the name of the eldest lady of the Lin family, but to find out the real murderer who killed her.

Ye Manwen's words made Lin Zhichu chok, in his memory, Ye Manwen was just the bloated production worker in the neon embroidery workshop, but just now, he clearly saw disdain in the other party's eyes.

Lin Zhichu was angry: "Ye Manwen, even if you become the eldest lady of the Lin family, my Lin Zhichu is still the eldest son of the Lin family, don't talk a few words, even if it is ......."

Ye Manwen turned around and left.

This is showing off his identity as the eldest grandson of the eldest house, Ye Manwen feels ridiculous.

"Ye Manwen, you stop for me. ”

Lin Zhizhi blocked Ye Manwen's way: "Let me tell you, if you want me to admit your identity as the eldest lady of the Lin family, it's okay, but you must intercede with the second aunt and grandma and let them let Zhilin go." ”

That's the purpose.

Ye Manwen looked at Lin Zhichu with interest: "Oh, plead for Lin Zhilin?"

After Lin Zhichu learned of Lin Zhilin's life experience, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he was grounded again, and finally waited until today to be free.

He didn't want to delay for a moment, and he wanted to fly to the hospital immediately to comfort Zhilin. However, now that Ye Manwen has become the eldest lady of the Lin family, the trivial things in the past are likely to become the current fuse.

Lin Zhizhi said the draft that had already been typed in his heart:

"You just told your grandmother that the person who wronged you for stealing things in the Neon Dress Embroidery Workshop was that Yongmei, and Zhilin didn't instruct it, and Zhilin didn't know about the kidnapping of your younger brother Ye Ziyan. ”

The reason for the theft of the Nishang Embroidery Workshop, she had already learned from Second Mrs. Lin on the way back to Jinghua that she had never intended to let Lin Zhilin go.

"Okay, I got it. ”

Ye Manwen didn't want to entangle too much with Lin Zhichu, he used to think that the other party was still a gentleman, but when he encountered Lin Zhilin's matter, his IQ plummeted, like an idiot.

Ye Manwen's answer was too perfunctory, and Lin Zhichu was naturally dissatisfied, but Second Mrs. Lin had already seen the unpleasantness of the conversation between the two, and had already come up to find someone, Lin Zhichu had no choice but to press and not mention it.

Lin Zhichu came out of the Lin Mansion and went directly to the emergency ward of Jinghua Hospital, and Lin Zhilin, who was rescued, although he temporarily saved his life, he was in danger of dying at any time.

"Brother~"

Seeing Lin Zhichu's figure, the corners of Lin Zhilin's eyes instantly moistened.

During this time, she was like walking around the ghost gate, going back and forth for a while to be happy and sad for a while, until now she has been beaten into a thousand layers of hell.

"Zhilin, don't be afraid, with my brother here, my brother will protect you. ”

Lin Zhichu looked at Lin Zhilin, who was so thin that he was out of shape, and felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his loving Kai removed the teardrops from the corners of Lin Zhilin's eyes, and whispered:

"You can recuperate your injuries with peace of mind, and leave the rest of the things to your brother to do, and after you recover from your injuries, you are still a big star with beautiful scenery. ”

But she is no longer the eldest lady of the Lin family!

Lin Zhilin calmed down from the excitement of seeing Lin Zhichu, took off the respirator, and said, "Brother....... You....... Help me bring my mother over....... I want to see my mother again, huhuhu~"

After a short period of words, Lin Zhilin said intermittently for a quarter of an hour, and Lin Zhichu was so distressed that he almost fainted: "Okay, okay, I know, I will definitely find a way to bring my mother over, you can rest assured that you are recuperating." ”

After Lin Zhizhi finished speaking, Lin Zhilin closed her eyes, she was very weak now, and she had consumed all her energy for a while.

Waiting for Lin Zhichu to go out quietly, Lin Zhilin's closed eyes slowly opened, he looked at Lin Zhichu's distant figure outside the window, and murmured silently:

"Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless, I can't help it. ”

A teardrop slipped through the corner of Lin Zhilin's eye, and her right hand slowly reached into the pillow, where a document was placed that could save her from the edge of the cliff.
