Chapter 10: The Truth Revealed
The lotus garden is located in the west of the main house, adjacent to the suburbs, only to see the mountains on all sides, growing all kinds of strange flowers and plants, or pulling vines, or winding, or through the stone gaps, like a spring scene.
Lin Ran just walked to the corner of the wall, heard the melodious flute rhyme in the wall, took a step closer, and saw He sitting in front of the pavilion playing the flute, so he didn't disturb her, picked a stone bench and sat down to look at the eldest lady carefully.
She has an elegant posture, a slender and delicate figure, but she is in her early thirties, and she is also beautiful and moving, but her slightly frowning eyebrows faintly reveal sadness, which makes people feel love.
After the song, the eldest lady in a green brocade dress, He Min, found that Lin Ran had been waiting for a long time, and quickly put down the flute in her hand and walked out of the pavilion.
"Child, it's windy outside, why don't you add an extra piece of clothing?" Although the eldest lady was blaming, there was more pampering in her eyes, "Lian'er, come to my room and get a cloak." She commanded the maid beside her.
"Mother, don't bother." Lin suddenly looked around, except for the lotus who was waiting with him, there was not even a mother-in-law who poured water and a maid who swept the floor, and the lotus garden was deserted and deserted, and there was no popularity.
"How can this be? Your illness is not yet well, what if you get sick again? He stretched out his hand and held Lin Ranran's hands, rubbing them together, "Child, you have suffered." ”
Lin suddenly thought of his mother in his previous life, his eyes turned red involuntarily, and he shook his head again and again: "Mother, I'm fine." ”
The eldest lady sighed and said to herself: "How can it be good, how can it be good, it's just that the mother is too incompetent, and she doesn't even have the ability to protect you." Her smile was a little bitter and self-reproachful, Lin suddenly thought that Bacheng was the mother and daughter who killed herself, and that Lin Qisheng was not a good person, among so many ladies, the eldest lady treated him best, but she liked the scheming second lady, and his conscience was really eaten by dogs.
"Mother, don't worry, from now on, I will protect you and my brother." Lin Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly, she will make those bull ghosts and snake gods pay.
The eldest lady took the shawl in Chun'er's hand and put it on her body gently, "Good boy, my mother doesn't want anything, I just hope that your sister and brother can grow up healthily." ”
It seems that this eldest lady is really indisputable with the world, but Lin Qisheng is the master of the house in this mansion, without his words, their lives are still poor, on the surface, this lotus garden is very clean, in fact, there is not even a grandmother here, the eldest lady's maid is still brought from her mother's family when she first got married.
Chun'er, who was standing next to the eldest lady, Lin Ranran couldn't help but look at her twice, she looked like she had clear eyebrows, but her big eyes were spinning, and she noticed Lin Ranran's gaze towards her, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
There is something wrong with this girl, Lin Ran thought to herself, but she still said quietly: "Originally, this was my mother's second home, but now it is like a prison, no matter what, I will make it the original appearance." ”
"Mother can't bear the pain of losing you anymore." He Shi became excited, hugged Lin Ran tightly, she let the eldest lady hold her, and glanced at Chun'er who was standing aside without a trace, and the latter slightly hooked the corners of her lips.
"Mother, I have something I want to give you? Green willow, you accompany Chun'er to my courtyard to get a picture of a hundred flowers. Lin suddenly said, Lu Liu was stunned at first, and when she saw that Miss's eyes flashed slightly, she reacted smartly: "It's Miss, Miss Chun'er, come with me!" The eldest lady is still waiting here. ”
Chun'er saw that Lin suddenly obviously wanted to take her away, so she reluctantly glanced at the eldest lady, and followed Lu Liu.
Lin suddenly saw that Chun'er was gone, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what kind of illness did I have?" ”
The eldest lady touched Lin Ranran's face painfully, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, do you really remember anything?" It was the worst asthma attack you had, and even the most famous doctor in Jincheng couldn't do anything about it, saying that you would only live for three hours at most, and then we watched you die. The eldest lady swallowed, she couldn't go on, Lin suddenly heard this, and her chest suddenly hurt, she could understand how cruel it was for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.
"Sister... Sister, I... See... Eight... Accomplishment... It was the second lady who made the ghost. Lin Xiaoran walked out of the back room and stammered indignantly.
"Oh? Xiao Ran, how can you be sure that mother and daughter are the ghosts. Lin suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Sister... Sister... You. You... See. Lin Xiaoran stretched out his hand, and a red purse was spread out in his palm, "This... This... It's me who takes advantage of... No... Thoughtless... Secretly... In the sister... Clothing... Wear... found in the inner layer. The faster he spoke, the more he stammered.
"Hey, how can this red purse be in Miss's clothes?" Mama Du was stunned and pointed to the purse, and suddenly thought of something, "Isn't this the purse of the purple ring that served the young lady before?" ”
"Oh? So where is she now? Lin suddenly asked lightly.
Mama Du secretly glanced at Miss, for fear that she would be sad, before she died, Miss was the best to Zihuan, and even hurt the loyal Green Willow for her sake many times.
Mama Du saw that the young lady had no expression, so she whispered: "Since the young lady died, Zihuan has been promoted to the second lady's personal maid. At that time, everyone knew that Zihuan was the personal maid of the third lady, thinking that as soon as the third lady died, she would definitely be driven to be a sweeping maid.
Lin suddenly hooked her lips, saying that the maid had nothing to do with this matter. Just a purse? I'm afraid it's not that simple!
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" The eldest lady frowned, took the purse and looked at it carefully.
Mama Du nodded firmly, "I'm sure it's not wrong, there is a pair of lilies of different colors embroidered on the purse, because of the special appearance, the slave and maid paid special attention to it." The eldest lady turned her purse over in disbelief, and two lilies of different colors appeared in front of everyone.
"Mother, can you let me take a look at the purse." Got the eldest lady's consent, Lin suddenly took the thing closer, smelled the smell, his complexion changed slightly, in addition to the smell of Chinese medicine in the purse, there was also a faint fragrance of flowers, she opened it slowly, and sure enough, pollen and animal dander were found in the purse, because usually the clothes of the lady in the house will be incense, as long as the smell of incense is gradually aggravated, it can naturally cover up the faint pollen smell. And in this matter, there will be no one else except the personal maid.
Originally, this body was already overwhelmed, and the pollen was slowly inhaled over time, and when it was discovered, I was afraid that it would be a lack of skills, and this Gu family's mind was really extremely vicious.
Mama Du suddenly realized: "So Zihuan put the purse into the lady's clothes?" No wonder she..."Seeing Lin Xiaoran's gaze, she quickly silenced.
Often, the best effect is to stop at the point, Lin Ran saw all this in his eyes, slightly hooked his lips, outsiders think that all this is just a coincidence, in fact, it has already been arranged, it seems that in order to convince her mother and herself, her younger brother and grandmother took great pains.
The eldest lady was so angry after all, she bit her lip and clenched her hands fiercely, "How can she do this to you!" I still think she is a good sister, I thought she saved Xiao Er, but she fell ill and couldn't have children for the rest of her life, and I was worried about it. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's also a show. The eldest lady smiled bitterly, "Ran'er, do you think my mother is stupid." Lin Ran naturally knew who she was in the doctor's mouth, smiled faintly, and gently held her mother's trembling hands, "Mother, why do you care, aren't I alive and well now?" Don't worry, I'm here. Since those people didn't let her feel better, don't blame her for being ruthless, a cold light crossed Lin Ranran's eyes.
At this time, the green willow also happened to rush over, "Miss, the slave has already handed over the painting to Madame." ”
"Well, good, thank you!" Lin said with a smile, "Let's go." ”
Out of the Lotus Garden, Lu Liu thought for a while and asked carefully: "Miss, you did this on purpose just now, but what should you do next?" She guessed that what the third lady said on purpose just now must have been said because she wanted to break away from that Chun'er, but was that Chun'er really suspicious? She's been with Madame for years!
Lin suddenly smiled calmly: "Of course, I want to clean up the dirt in the house." ”
