Chapter Seventy-Six: Ruthless

Lin Qisheng was surprised when he saw Lin suddenly walk in, at this time she had already changed her clothes, a blue brocade cotton skirt with a white orchid base, a milky cloud gauze cardigan on her upper body, and a thin layer of powder on her face, and pink rouge on her lips to cover up her haggard in the past few days, plus the colorful butterfly studs hanging on her earlobes looked delicate and moving.

Lin Qisheng keenly noticed the changes in Lin Xuanran, he had never paid attention to this daughter before, he always looked sick before, but now his face is plump, and his ruddy complexion is even more beautiful than Lin Zixuan.

"Kid, you're finally back?" The second lady stepped forward with a worried face, a look of concern, and secretly laughed in Lin Ranran's eyes.

"Let Erniang worry." Lin Ran smiled lightly, and saw a look of jealousy in Lin Zixuan's eyes when she was standing next to Lin Qisheng, but she didn't see it.

"You kid, why are you so different from Erniang? Is there anything wrong? Where was the injury? You have to tell your father the truth! The second lady's loving appearance made Lin Ranran want to vomit on her body on the spot, if Lin Ranran was not mistaken, the second lady's eyes clearly concealed a looming malicious look, and the second lady wished that she could have something.

Lin suddenly smiled slightly, "Erniang, suddenly not injured." ”

The second lady did not give up and said: "Child, don't be reckless, what do you have to tell our elders!" Don't have anything to do by then, it will be embarrassing! The second lady thought she was pretending to be calm, and continued to add fuel to the fire and interjected, looking at Lin Qisheng from time to time.

Lin Ran smiled disapprovingly, and simply tilted his head and said, "Could it be that the second lady wants something to happen?" She raised her head and looked at Gu Shi coldly, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold, Gu Shi was glanced at by her coldly, and her heart was filled with coldness, and her momentum was not as strong as before.

"My sister really loves to laugh, how can my mother mean this? I'm afraid you're too careful, sister! Lin Zixuan saw that her mother was defeated, and said with help.

"Hehe, yes, hasn't Erniang always been very sympathetic to juniors?" Lin suddenly hooked the corners of his lips mockingly.

"Zixuan, you give me a few words." Lin Qisheng couldn't help but reprimand, "There is no beauty at all." He turned to Lin Ranhu suspiciously and said, "Suddenly, are you really okay?" ”

"Well, let my father worry, there were indeed bandits attacking his daughter at that time, but fortunately, with the help of Prince Jian and the prince, I was able to get out of danger, father, I must thank these two."

The second lady's face suddenly changed: "What, in addition to Prince Jane, there is also Prince Yi's son?" ”

Compared with his composure just now, Lin Qisheng also stood up in surprise.

Lin Ran pretended not to know and said with a smile: "At that time, the number of bandits was very large, and my daughter and maid were hiding in the cave but were discovered. ”

Lin Qisheng's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was overjoyed and said, "Is it really the two of them who saved you?" ”

Lin suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, my daughter came back in Prince Jane's carriage today." ”

Lin Qisheng was overjoyed and said tentatively: "Is Prince Jian coming?" ”

Lin suddenly nodded, "The prince is in Fushoutang at the moment, and the daughter is afraid that her father will be in a hurry to come over to ask for peace." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." When Lin Qisheng thought of his third daughter climbing the two tall plants, his heart felt like he was setting off firecrackers, and he was pong pong.

The second lady was just about to speak, but Lin Zixuan said fiercely: "Impossible, how can you be unscathed after being missing for so many days." She didn't expect that the killer sent out by her mother would fail, especially when she saw her father turn the gun, which made her even more angry.

"What are you talking like, do you want your sister to die? Qinya, look at it, the good daughter you taught! Lin Qisheng reprimanded Lin Zixuan mercilessly.

The second lady Gu Shi's face turned pale, she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zixuan's sleeve, and glared at her with hatred: "How can you talk to your father?" I've taught you so much for nothing. ”

Lin Zixuan's face was stunned, she was annoyed and angry just now, and she was completely out of shape in front of her father, who valued etiquette so much, and couldn't help but regret it.

Lin Qisheng didn't bother to look at the pair of mother and daughter who were pretentious, and beckoned Lin Ranran to his side, the anger that he originally knew that Lin Ranran was missing turned into joy, all this changed too suddenly, Lin Qisheng felt that a big pie with golden light fell from the sky.

"Suddenly, you owe them so much kindness, you have to behave well in the future!" The implication of his words is to let her please the two masters carefully, hmph, this Lin Qisheng is really a good calculation, worthy of being a cunning old fox, interests are the most important thing to him, and his daughter is a green ladder for him to climb to the official position.

Lin Qiran just smiled and said nothing, Lin Qisheng thought that his daughter had agreed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at the second lady fiercely.

The second lady Gu Shi forced a smile and said, "Suddenly, don't blame your sister, she is just too worried about you to rush out of those words, don't mind!" Lin suddenly looked at her breath-holding appearance, and secretly laughed in her heart, this second lady cut off her head and wanted to find a way to get rid of herself, it seems that she will disappoint them when she comes back safely this time.

"I can understand my sister's feelings, but I didn't expect my sister's luck to be too good, God helped me." Her gaze crossed over to the second lady and smiled faintly at Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zilan's eyes were bottomless, and in Lin Zixuan's eyes, she was like a ghost who had come back from hell, cold and piercing, making her shiver.

"Of course, there are indeed a lot of thieves in Dalian Mountain, but I just met them, if it weren't for Prince Jane's rescue, I'm afraid that Suddenly and Luliu would have already lost their bones." As she spoke, she glanced coldly at the second lady, who shuddered in her heart when she saw her expression.

Lin Qisheng felt that his daughter's words were indeed reasonable, originally he was still worried about whether this daughter would come back and stain the lintel of Shangshufu, she was a broom star, but now she didn't expect that things have changed greatly, and now the third daughter is simply his great fortune star, good luck, thinking of this, he evoked a smug smile, all of this was under Lin Ran's eyes, and she smiled without a trace.

"Did the old lady go there to say goodbye?"

"Yes." Lin Qisheng nodded, and said to her with a kind face: "In this case, you should also know about the queen's banquet, remember to dress up well, don't lose the face of the Lin family." ”

Lin suddenly blessed her body and said, "The daughter obeys her father's teachings. ”

Lin Qisheng nodded with satisfaction, then he turned around and glanced at the second lady, and snorted coldly, he originally knew that the Gu family was jealous, but he didn't think that she would have a hard time with his daughter-in-law, isn't this obviously slapping his face, if it is rumored that his mother-in-law wants her daughter to die, how can this make his Shangshu Mansion lose face? Originally, he saw the second lady's delicate appearance, but now it seems that she really feels hideous, obviously she is a poisonous snake, but he treats her as a docile little rabbit, it is really ridiculous, the more Lin Qisheng thinks about it, the colder his heart becomes, he no longer looks at their mother and daughter, and walks out.

Immediately, Lin Ran also walked out, and the second lady looked at their figures, turned around fiercely and pointed at Lin Zixuan's head with her finger: "Why did I raise such an unsuccessful thing as you!" ”

"Mother!" Lin Zixuan also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and her tearful eyes made the second lady even more bored when she saw it, "Flash aside, it makes me upset when I look at it." Seeing that her mother was angry, Lin Zixuan bit her lip and clenched her fists: Lin Xuanran, I won't let you go.

Returning to Fushoutang, the old lady beckoned Lin Ran with a smile on her face: "How is it, have you said hello to your father?" ”

"Yes." Lin nodded obediently, and happened to meet Prince Jane's eyes.

"Grandmother, are you playing chess?" She glanced at the chess game curiously, obviously it was the old lady's sunspot who had the upper hand, she couldn't help but look at Gao Lian twice, and the latter just shrugged his shoulders innocently: "It's the old lady who is a chess player." ”

Old Madam Lin let out a hearty laugh: "You kid! This laughter is mixed with heartfelt laughter, in fact, everyone who understands knows that it was Gao Lian who let the old lady and deliberately released the water, as for why he did this, it was naturally to please someone.

It was rare to see her grandmother so happy, Lin suddenly smiled and said, "It's not too early, so the prince might as well stay and eat!" ”

"Oh? It's rare for Miss Lin to invite me to dinner, which really flatters the king! Gao Lian's banter made Lin suddenly blush, and he glared at him unceremoniously, but in the eyes of the old lady, it had a different meaning.

Just as Gao Lian was about to agree to dinner, his subordinates suddenly walked up to him and whispered a few words softly, only to see that his face changed, and he quickly returned to normal: "I'm sorry, I can't stay for dinner today." ”

Lin Ran smiled understandingly: "It's okay, Lord Wang, go and go about your own business!" ”

"Hmm." Gao Lian glanced at her a few more times, stood up and said goodbye to the old lady, and just walked to the door, Lin suddenly ran over with her skirt in her hand, holding a medicine bottle in her hand.

"Lord Wang, this is my family's ancestral secret recipe, which is made from several flavors of Chinese medicine, which can strengthen the body and resist fatigue." She stretched out her hand and handed the bottle out, Gao Lian was stunned for a moment, there was more warmth in his eyes, he chuckled and took the bottle in her hand: "I didn't expect Miss Lin to have a lot of home remedies." ”

"Do you want it or not?" Lin Ranran was so angry that she was about to stretch her hand back, but was grabbed by Gao Lian, and instantly seemed to have a strange feeling through her palm, Lin Ranran coldly stuffed the bottle rudely into his hand, "Do you love it or not, anyway, I gave it to you, and it's your business to throw it away." ”

Gao Lian smiled and said, "Then thank you Miss Lin, take care." With that, he let the coachman drive away.

What a weirdo, Lin suddenly shrugged his shoulders and turned around and walked back.

Ran Yuan Pavilion

Mama Du saw Lin suddenly come in, and greeted her with concern, "My good miss, you are finally back, madam, Miss is back." ”

Lin was obviously stunned, she didn't expect that the eldest lady who hadn't seen her for a long time would come to her.

As soon as the eldest lady saw Lin Ranran, she hesitated whether to step forward, but Mama Du pushed her behind her: "Madam! ”

The eldest lady rushed to Lin Ranran's face, and said, "Suddenly, I, I." She had red eyes, she wanted to hold her hand but didn't dare to hold it, since she knew that her daughter went to Dalian Mountain to collect medicine for Xiao Ran, and even encountered bandits, her heart became clear, and her brain was clear, how could she be so confused to believe her husband's words, and felt that Lin Xiaoran dragged Lin Xiaoran down, it turned out that she did all this wrong.

She finally mustered up her courage, stepped forward and hugged Lin Ranran, crying: "Suddenly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my mother's mistake, my mother shouldn't treat you like this." ”

Lin was speechless and looked at the eldest lady who was lying on her shoulder crying with tears and snot, and wished that she would disappear immediately, she hated not to have her as a daughter, but now that she knows her value, she hugged her and cried, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Fortunately, the green willow beside him had the eyesight to support the eldest lady, and said softly: "Don't worry, madam, didn't the young lady come back safely?" ”

The eldest lady cried for a while before she stopped crying, choked up and raised her red and swollen eyes and said, "Suddenly, can you forgive my mother?" ”

"What's wrong with Mother?" Lin Ran just smiled faintly, took out a handkerchief and handed it to the eldest lady, "It seems that Xiao Ran's illness is much better!" What she said made a touch of embarrassment pass through the eyes of the eldest lady, indeed Xiao Ran took the Hongyao she brought back just now, and asked the doctor to take a look, saying that Xiao Ran only needs to cultivate for a few more days, and then she thought of the eldest daughter's good coming, Lin Ran knew what if she didn't come back? Will the eldest lady still care about the life and death of her daughter? Such a mother is really chilling.

"Mother, go back and rest early!" Lin Ranran's words brought her relationship with the eldest lady back to the freezing point, Mama Du couldn't say anything when she looked at the side, she could only be anxious on the side, she was actually the most clear, when the eldest lady knew that she suddenly went to Dalian Mountain, she begged the lord to bring more guards, but Lin Qisheng ruthlessly refused, and she went to ask the old lady for no other way, and the old lady was just indifferent and did not tell her the truth, which made the eldest lady fall ill because of impatience for a while, and also saw Lin Qisheng's true face clearly, Such a husband really chilled her.

"Miss, Madame, she's really for your good!" Mama Du still couldn't help but say, but was scolded by the eldest lady, "Mama, don't say it, let Suddenly go back and rest!" ”

Lin suddenly turned around, but smiled faintly: "Mama, help Mrs. go back!" ”

"Miss!" Mama Du wanted to call her to stop, but Lin Ran walked into the house without looking back.

Mama Du turned back to the eldest lady and said, "Madam, why bother, you should let the old slave say it, otherwise there will always be a dislike between you and the young lady." ”

The eldest lady shook her head: "This is what I asked for, I shouldn't have been like this to Ran in the first place, this kid is afraid that he is cold to me, forget it, help me go back first." ”

After Lin suddenly watched the eldest lady leave in the house, Lu Liu couldn't bear to say in a loud voice: "Miss, it's not easy for Madame!" Do you still hate her? ”

Her desire to speak stopped making Lin suddenly glance at her lightly: "The word hate is too complicated, it is not suitable for me and my mother, or do you think I am ruthless?" ”

"Miss, that's not what I meant." Lu Liu hurriedly shook her head, after getting along for so long, she had long known that Miss was a good master with a cold face and a warm heart, and she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact, the situation of the third young master and the lady was clear.

"I now have to wonder if my mother is still on my father's side. Otherwise, something can't be solved smoothly? Lin suddenly couldn't help but explain the reason, "Now it seems that my mother is disappointed in my father, but I can't guarantee that my father used some rhetoric to pull my mother over." ”

"What does Miss mean......" Lu Liu suddenly looked at Lin Ran with some sudden brightness, and the latter smiled: "Wait and see." ”

Ciyuan Hall

Tian Ruixin was cutting the branches and leaves, and the palace people came to report that Prince Jian asked to see her, she hurriedly put down the scissors, and said with a smile on her face: "Invite him in." ”

After a while, Gao Lian, who was wearing a cyan dark embroidered bamboo corset, walked in, Tian Ruixin withdrew from all the palace people, walked up to him with a smile, and said gently: "Why are you here?" ”

"Why did you send a letter to Lin Xuanran?" Gao Lian said bluntly, coldly widening the distance between them.

The corners of Tian Ruixin's eyes were charming: "It turns out that the cold prince will also be anxious for a woman, don't worry, this palace can't eat her, this palace is just curious about what that Miss Lin Ran Lin San looks like." She turned around and continued to hold the scissors and click at the top flower, which hit the ground with a clatter.

"It's as simple as that?" Gao Lian frowned, and said coldly, "You better restrain your thoughts." ”

"You're letting Hongu converge?" Tian Ruixin threw the scissors on the ground fiercely, "Gao Lian, if this palace hadn't helped you at the beginning, everything about your home would have been eaten up by those wolf, jackal, tiger and leopard relatives with ill intentions." ”

"So you went to the emperor's bed?" Gao Lian's merciless sarcasm made the gentle smile that Tian Ruixin had been pretending to be ruthlessly punctured.

Tian Ruixin pinched her long nails fiercely: "Do you like to insult this palace so much, isn't everything this palace doing now enough to atone for your sins?" ”

Gao Lian said expressionlessly: "It's too late, it's too late." ”
