Chapter Twenty-Nine: Self-defeating
Zhu'an Garden
After the old lady's words last time, the second lady Gu is really sick, and she is lying on the bed sick at the moment, fed porridge by the apricots, and now Mama Lan has been beaten to the point that she only has one breath left, usually the maid and the apricots are dotted, and this apricot was sent over since Mei'er's death, but the second lady always sees her uncomfortable and secretly picks on the thorns.
As a morality, Lin suddenly wanted to see this hypocritical concubine in person.
It was only when she entered the house that she smelled a strong smell of medicine in the house, and when the second lady saw her come in, she wanted to dig a hole in her chest.
"Third Miss, you're here." Xing'er put down the bowl and hurriedly greeted her, everyone knew that this third lady was now a celebrity in front of the old lady.
Lin Ran nodded with a smile, walked to the side of the bed, and asked with concern, "Erniang, I don't know if my body is better?" ”
Knowingly asked, first Mei'er died, then Mama Lan was beaten, and finally even the Zihuan she bought betrayed her, almost all her left arms and right arms around her were cut off by this cheap girl, can her illness get better? Thinking of this, the blood in his chest kept surging upward.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." The second lady forcibly suppressed the evil fire in her heart and reluctantly smiled.
Lin Ran knew that there was a fire in her heart and didn't vent it, so she deliberately pretended to be worried and said, "I suddenly heard that today is the day of the second sister's marriage, Erniang, you have to get better quickly!" ”
The second lady's face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't get up or down in one breath, Xing'er saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and put on the teacup: "Madam, drink saliva and be smooth." ”
She took the teacup, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's all because Erniang's body is not angry, after all, your sister grew up next to me, and she never borrowed the hands of others in her usual life, but now I'm afraid she is not used to it." ”
Lin Shuran sneered in her heart, it was all some bullshit excuses, she was a villain herself, and she wanted others to be like her, she thought the eldest lady would play tricks on her?
Lin suddenly sighed: "As long as Erniang is in good health, the second sister's marriage is naturally up to you." When the second lady heard this, she couldn't get up or down in her heart, if she was in good health, could she lie here and be with her?
After all, the second lady is used to being proud in the mansion, how can she pull this face to beg for help, so she can only pull up a face that wants to smile or not and say: "Suddenly, look, you and Zixuan are sisters after all, and you are sensible and considerate, so you can save the love of the old lady, can you go to her old man and say a few words?" ”
Lin Ranran smiled innocently: "Don't worry, Erniang, no matter what my mother says, she is the grandmother of the Lin Mansion, she naturally won't treat the second sister badly, Erniang should have a good rest, and suddenly have a chance to come to see you again." She got up and took her leave.
"You, you stop me!" The second lady couldn't lift it in one breath, and gasped and said, "Don't be embarrassed, do you really think your mother is a good thing?" But it's just a little bit better? ”
Lin suddenly turned his head, a touch of ice crossed his eyes, and smiled softly at the second lady: "I heard that there are many unjust souls who died in the hands of Er Niang, I'm really afraid that they will come to you one day when your yang energy is not strong!" You should take care of your body and live a healthy life! After she finished speaking, she left without mercy.
"You, you slut!" The second lady watched her leave, her fingers halfway up, her eyes turned white, and she fainted.
At this time, Lin Zixuan was staying in her own Aster Garden, she didn't know that her mother had already been angry, and the maid Xi'er who was standing next to her took out a red satin dress embroidered with peonies from behind the screen and asked, "Miss, how is this?" ”
"No, it's too dark." Lin Zixuan frowned and shook her head, "I have inquired that the prince and the princess both like plain clothes. ”
"Go, get a light-colored skirt for Miss." Mama Yan on the side ordered, and Xi'er Weinuo walked in again.
"Miss, I just inquired, the prince is already in Beiyuan." Mama Yan was busy combing her butterfly bun, and told her on the side: "Now that the second lady is sick, even in front of the eldest lady, you have to behave, so that the old lady will not blame." ”
Lin Zixuan smiled and looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror, stretched out her hand and touched the hosta on her head with satisfaction, and nodded: "Mama, don't worry, I'm not as stupid as my mother, I have a hard time with the old lady, after all, the eldest lady is now a mother-in-law, and as a child of the Lin Mansion, of course she can't lose her identity." Lin Zixuan is narrow-minded, in order to get the attention of the old lady and Master Lin, she will do whatever it takes, even her own mother can step on the soles of her feet, Yan Mama couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in the end, the second lady spoiled the young lady, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse to take over this family business?
Inside the North Garden
Tang Zhiqin was bored listening to his father and Master Lin talk about the affairs of the court, nothing to do with those tax disasters**, he wanted to doze off, although Lin Shangshu was just a third-grade official, but he was very well-connected in the court, and the reason why his father was able to marry the Lin family was that he hoped to use the connections of the Lin Mansion to pave the official road for him in the future.
However, he inquired, and the second daughter of this old man Lin is as beautiful as a fairy, and he doesn't know what her personality is.
Just as the elders were chatting, Lin Zixuan walked in, and Master Lin saw his daughter at a glance, and hurriedly beckoned her in: "Zixuan, hurry up and meet the prince and the prince." ”
Lin Zixuan twisted her slender waist, and she had to pay a salute to the elders, and when the princess saw her future daughter-in-law, her face was full of surprise: "Lin Shangshu, you have raised a good and sensible daughter." ”
Lin Zixuan blushed shyly, "Thank you, princess, for your compliment." In the eyes of the princess, the well-behaved appearance became more and more liked.
Tang Zhiqin glanced at her coldly, and snorted coldly in his heart, he thought how beautiful it was, wasn't it just an embroidered pillow with an empty appearance, such a lady show was really boring.
Seeing that her son was silent, the princess thought that she liked Lin Zixuan, so she took his hand and said, "Zixuan, this is Zhiqin, you know each other." ”
When Lin Zixuan saw the person she liked, her face was already so red that she didn't dare to raise her head, and her little hand pinched the hem of her skirt nervously: "Lord Shizi, we meet again." ”
"Huh? Do you know? Lin Qisheng's eyes flashed with surprise, "This is really fateful." ”
Lin Zixuan blushed and said: "When the little girl was attacked on the street, it was the son of the world who saved my life, and the little girl should be grateful." The words were humble and decent, and suddenly raised the impression in the minds of the princess and the prince.
Tang Zhiqin just said lightly: "Even if I meet other people, I will do it." This sentence was lukewarm, which made Lin Zixuan's face a little pale.
"You kid!" The princess glared at him with disgust, but the prince laughed, "This is the children's business, let them go, Lin Shangshu, why don't you let these two children be alone for a while?" ”
Lin Qisheng was eager to do this, of course, he was full of promises, and he smiled so much that he hinted at his daughter with his eyes, and Lin Zixuan stood up in shame.
Just as Tang Zhiqin and Lin Zixuan were walking on the tree-lined path, talking and laughing, a small figure hurriedly ran over, and it was a wild dog.
"Qiuqiu, don't run!" Lin suddenly ran after it behind, but as soon as the little thing saw Lin Zixuan's beautiful skirt, he pounced on it and bit it hard.
Lin Zixuan lowered her head and saw that her well-dressed clothes had been bitten by a dog, and she was angry, but because of Tang Zhiqin's presence, she could only squat down and pat its head as if nothing happened: "I'll give you meat, okay!" ”
Woo, don't, I want a drifting skirt, Qiuqiu bit her skirt so hard that she still refused to let go, seeing that Lin Zixuan's skirt was getting more and more broken, revealing the gorgeously colored petticoat inside, Lin Ran hurriedly ran over.
"Ah, that's good!" She pointed to the broken skirt with a surprised expression, "Second sister, your clothes must be very expensive, or I will pay you one?" ”
Lin Zixuan glared at Lin Ran viciously, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Suddenly, no need." ”
"It's all bad to blame the ball, please don't blame it, sister!" Lin suddenly hugged the puppy in his arms and apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Lin Zixuan almost gritted her teeth and said word by word.
"But sister, you have a guest, wouldn't it be too rude!" Lin suddenly had a pair of innocent big eyes, and pointed to Tang Zhiqin, a passer-by who was standing aside and ignored by her.
If you don't say you're going to die! Lin Zixuan didn't expect to make a fool of herself in front of her sweetheart, and her face suddenly turned red.
Tang Zhiqin was not very happy to stay with this second lady of the Lin family, but Lin Ranran's words gave him a step, and he smiled: "Miss Lin, you better go to the house and change your clothes!" ”
"Oh, okay, please wait a moment." In desperation, Lin Zixuan could only leave first, and as soon as Lin suddenly saw her leave, she immediately changed her pitiful appearance, glanced at Tang Zhiqin who was standing in place, turned around and left.
