Chapter 144: Rumors
Thinking of his former self, Lin Li couldn't wait to find a piece of tofu to hit and die.
Lin Long glanced at Lin Li's annoyed and slightly sad look, and had to sigh that marriage is really the most important way to grow, no matter how she was pampered at home when she was a girl, once you get married, you will definitely teach you a lot of things that you couldn't learn before, and it is very difficult to be a daughter-in-law, which is not unreasonable.
"Cousin Li, calm down, as the saying goes, if you eat hard, you will become a master, today's bitterness may not be exchanged for the sweetness of other days, it depends on what you want to do."
"What else can I do, the four of them are united, no matter how I am, I'm just an outsider." Lin Li was a little deflated, she had received too many blank eyes during this time, so that her will was a little depressed.
"I don't think so." Lin Long said with a smile.
Lin Li raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Why is it not lawful?" Cousin Long, you have to help me, I know I'm stupid, and now I can't find anyone in this capital who can help me except you? You also know that the third uncle's family is a bastard, how can he really think about us? It's a blessing not to come to fight the autumn breeze. β
Like Lin Long, she has no contact with the Sanfang Lin Chuang family after getting married, and this family can only make people feel disgusting.
Not long ago, she received a letter from her second uncle Lin Gang from Suzhou, expressing her gratitude for her support, he successfully became the patriarch of the Lin family, and expressed repentance for not treating her well and Lin Qi Lin Dong's behavior back then, and asked for her forgiveness.
Regardless of whether Lin Gang wrote this letter or not, at least Lin Long would have fewer pimples in his heart, people's hearts are like this, after all, there is still some blood and family affection, so there is no need to kill them all.
"Don't mention the third uncle's family, there's no fun." She finally said unhappily, "Especially that Lin Lin, if you see her taking a detour, it's right, this person is not right, don't get involved with her." β
"I forgot to mention that I didn't mention it, I seemed to meet her on the street some time ago, and it seemed that she was having a bad time when she was dressed, but I didn't say hello to her. I heard that the surnamed Chang was going to sell her to a brothel to pay off her gambling debts, and I didn't know if it was true, after all, I didn't bother to take care of her affairs. Lin Li said, she still hated Lin Lin from the bottom of her heart, seeing that she was not doing well, she was actually very comfortable, and God was fair.
Lin Long was slightly stunned, she didn't send anyone to check what kind of life Lin was living now, but being sold to a brothel by a man was too much, but this thought flashed in a flash. Lin Lin's affairs are not her turn to worry about, and she is also too lazy to worry about them. "Okay, let's not mention them, but Cousin Li still thinks of a countermeasure. You and I are cousins, who can you help if I don't help? There is no monolithic alliance in the world, and the four female dependents of your family are not united, don't you see it? β
Lin Li was stunned, Lin Long said this, and slowly thought about it again, it seemed to be as Lin Long said, "My two sisters-in-law are actually dissatisfied with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, but they don't say it, and use me as a raft, but it's a pity that I let them be gunmen because I am soft-spoken." β
This is what she dislikes about her two sisters-in-law the most.
"Cousin Li, if they use you as a gunman, won't you fight back?" Lin Long smiled slightly, seeing Lin Li's steps, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously hearing her words to his heart. In the final analysis, none of their cousins are submissive, but Lin Li seems to have walked into a dead end and can't get out.
She was still smiling and strolling through the sea of flowers with her cousin, and when she saw someone waving to her, she also smiled and responded with a slight smile, and in this short journey, she seemed to have done this dozens of times.
Lin Li looked at this cousin's rather open appearance, and couldn't help but secretly envy, she couldn't feel sorry for herself like this anymore, who didn't have a difficult scripture to read? The daughters of this cousin's family are definitely not fuel-efficient lamps, so don't people do the same?
Confidence gradually appeared on her face, Lin Li no longer had so many complaints and grief on her body, but generously laughed with this cousin to outsiders, until the two of them quieted down again, she said: "If it weren't for a conversation with my cousin, I guess I would really have to drill the horns." β
"Cousin Li is not a stupid person, but she is just a daughter-in-law for the first time, and she is too cautious." Lin Long comforted her heart and said, "I look at your two sisters-in-law, although they are not easy people to get along with, they are definitely not big treacherous people, Cousin Li has to grasp it well, it is ......"
Lin Li slowly listened to what Lin Long said, and nodded from time to time, it seemed that he was too impatient before, so he couldn't handle it well when he encountered such a thing, which made people take advantage of the loophole.
This time, she thought back to the previous scene and understood why Lin Long didn't let her complain at that time, after all, if she wanted to suppress these two sisters-in-law, she had to be gracious and powerful, otherwise she wouldn't let them be grateful to her, and then it would be convenient for her to act cheaply.
Lin Long saw Lin Li's enlightenment, and the smile on his face gradually became much more comfortable, whether he was still a sister with the same surname, or everyone could be happier and better.
At this time, Feng Jing, who was wandering in the sea of flowers, was lost, she deliberately got rid of her mother and two sisters-in-law, just to create an opportunity to meet the handsome and majestic man, she remembered that the last time she led to South Park was this road? Why can't it be done now?
There was no one around for her to ask for directions, and she was in a hurry, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet, "Why is this Hou Mansion so big?" β
"Who are you? What are you doing here? β
Hearing the voice of the man between a teenager and an adult, she suddenly turned around and saw a man about her age appear behind her, looking at her curiously.
Feng Jing glanced at the smiling face of the person in front of her, and then carefully looked at the gorgeous clothes on his body, for some reason, seeing this man she had never met before, her heart couldn't help but jump again.
Deliberately restraining her temper, she pretended to be a lady and stepped forward to salute, "I've seen this son." β
Ye Xurong looked curiously at the girl who appeared in his house, and returned the salute, "The girl is polite, by the way, where is your maid?" β
How can a woman not bring a maid by her side? Is it like a word to just run into someone else's house like this? He looked down on this girl's behavior in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he always had to save face for others.
Feng Jing's face froze, and her maid was also thrown away by her for a reason, and when she heard this gentle and sunny man's question, she couldn't help but blush with shame, "I don't know where she went?" It is estimated that the flowers in this house are blooming too well. After a pause, she asked shyly, "I don't know the name of Gongzi?" Can you ask Childe to show the little girl the way? β
"Under the surname Ye, you can call me Ye Gongzi." It's just a guest attending his own flower-viewing banquet, Ye Xurong doesn't want to tell his name everywhere, and it's just a meeting in Pingshui, "Girl, let's go." β
Feng Jing also pretended to be a lady of everyone, and Ye Xurong was a foot away, but not too far away, all the way she aimed at other people's handsome faces, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.
was walking, but when he saw Ye Xuyao, the Marquis of Xiangyang, who he had been thinking about before, appear in front of him, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly and was secretly surprised, and then looked at the man next to him, compared with Ye Xuyao, in fact, the two of them have their own merits.
Ye Xuyao is cold, and the aura of the superior on her body is very strong, but the young man around her is sunny and temperamental, and it seems to be pleasing to the eye, she can't help but feel a little difficult, I don't know who to choose?
Ye Xuyao's sharp eyes glanced at Feng Jing, who was twisting and twisting, and he was very displeased in his heart, "Brother Rong, what are you doing here?" Mother is looking for you everywhere. β
"Huh? I just talked to Brother Dong about a book of poems, no, I'll go back to the yard and get it for him. Ye Xurong took out the book from his arms and raised it in front of his brother, indicating that he was definitely not here to have a private tryst with the woman, "As for this girl, she is lost." β
"Bandit, you send her back to the garden where you enjoy the flowers." Ye Xuyao didn't look at Feng Jing and gave the order.
Feng Jing, who was in a struggle, woke up from her dream as soon as she heard this voice, if only she could take these two people into her pocket. Although Ye Xurong is good, but not as rich as Ye Xuyao, he can't attack the lord if he doesn't occupy the eldest son, and after listening to the conversation between the two, she guessed the identities of the two.
In order to let Ye Xuyao look at her squarely, she hurriedly stepped forward to block his way, "I've seen Master Hou." β
Ye Xuyao frowned and waved his hand, "You go with this little guy......"
"Master Hou doesn't remember the little girl?" Feng Jing pretended to take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and deliberately showed a look of pity when I saw it, men love to eat this set, what her second brother who loves to go to the kiln said, she has always kept in mind.
Ye Xuyao didn't like this pretentious woman quite a bit, but he thought that she was a guest in the mansion, so he gave a little thin face, "It doesn't matter if Ben Hou remembers you or not, the important thing is that the girl remembers her identity, and Ben Hou's little girl can remember the way." β
Feng Jing heard these words without the slightest emotion, and her eyes were even more dizzy, "Hou Ye really doesn't remember me, I don't blame Hou Ye, you have a lot of daily affairs, and it's really common for you not to remember the little girl......"
Ye Xurong's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he regretted for the first time that he wanted to be a good person? Is there something wrong with this woman? He pointed his finger at his brain and looked at his eldest brother, but he didn't say it kindly, he had to save some face for the unmarried girl's family.
Ye Xuyao was very scornful of Feng Jing's behavior, and wanted to charm him with such means and postures, this woman was indeed as sick as her brother pointed out, so she said to the bandit: "This girl's brain is not good, you take her to the house doctor for treatment, and don't put it back in the garden, so as not to make this flower-viewing banquet dusty, isn't it a loss of your grandmother's face when you turn around?" β
"Yes, sir."
Bandit Jian held back his laughter, grabbed Feng Jing's arm and was about to pull her away, but Feng Jing's eyes widened, her brain was not good? Seeing that there was no her in the way, Ye Xuyao and Ye Xurong left together, so she hurriedly called, "I'm a girl from the Feng family...... no one paid attention.
"My sister-in-law is Lin Li......" no one cares.
She didn't give up, and shouted again, "My sister-in-law's cousin is your wife Lin Long......"
When he shouted this sentence, he saw Ye Xuyao stop his steps.
A smile appeared on Feng Jing's face, as long as she could get into the eyes of this man, no matter what way she used, she glared at the gangster, signaling him to let go, don't stop her good deeds.
It's just that her smile froze on her face in the next moment, and she stiffened and shattered at the touch of it.
"There are too many people who pretend to be relatives, bandits, throw her out of the house."
"Yes, sir."
The bandit replied loudly again, and looked at the unbelievable Feng Jing with disdain, under the banner of her own master, this woman was clearly looking for death, and the master just drove her out of the house It was already very face-saving.
"Let's go."
"I ...... I'm really a relative of your grandmother......"
Feng Jing was completely dumbfounded, didn't Ye Xuyao value his wife the most? Why did she talk about her relationship with Lin Long, but he still wanted to drive her out of the house?
Bandit Jian looked at her with a sneer, "My grandfather hates people using big grandma to build relationships, let's go, don't make it difficult for us, and don't let you lose face." β
"I'm not leaving, I'm going back to the banquet......" Feng Jing refused to leave the house at this time.
Bandit Jian didn't care what she thought, clapping her hands and appearing two sturdy servants, and the two of them picked up Feng Jing and walked in the direction of leaving the mansion mercilessly.
Feng Jing was really frightened this time, and before she had time to react, she had already been set up far away, and she didn't even have a chance to say a word to her mother.
When she was thrown out of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, her clothes and sideburns were a little messy, and she was busy trying to shoot the gate of the Hou Mansion, but she saw the cold face of the concierge, and she didn't dare to do that skinless thing again after all.
At this time, she stood alone in this spacious alley, a spring breeze blew, and she couldn't help but shiver a little, even if she was not from everyone's background, she grew up in the pampering of her parents, how could she have received such a cold reception?
"I didn't expect anyone to be kicked out."
Hearing the laughter behind her, she turned her head in displeasure and saw a woman standing in the shadow of the alley, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she sensed that her attitude was very unfriendly.
She raised her head slightly, "Who are you?" I'm not kicked out, I'm a relative of Mrs. Hou of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion......"
"Oh? Are you her relative? The woman hiding in the shadows raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled even more presumptuously, "You? It's up to you? Don't laugh at other people's big teeth, who is it, the Lin family doesn't have a daughter like you. β
"When did I say I was the daughter of the Lin family?" Feng Jing didn't want people to look down on her.
"Oh, who are you?"
"My sister-in-law Lin Li is her cousin, even if I am in-law with her, isn't this a relative?"
Feng Jing patted her chest proudly, forgetting that she had only been blasted out not long ago.
"Really? Then why were you kicked out? The woman in the shadows still laughed mockingly, "Who is Meng?" When I haven't seen the world? Will you be Lin Li's sister-in-law? Haha, that's ridiculous......"
"Shut up, I really am."
Feng Jing impulsively rushed into the shadows to argue with the woman, forgetting that she had to beware of such an inexplicable stranger.
"What do you have to believe it?" She exclaimed.
"So you're the daughter of the Feng family?" The woman bit her nails and asked, "In that case, then why were you kicked out?" β
"It's not because of my sister-in-law......"
Feng Jing counted the qiΔ that Ye Xuyao did to her on Lin Long's head, and then on Lin Li's body, and finally twisted her face with a look of resentment.
"So we have a common enemy." The woman in the shadows laughed.
Feng Jing looked at this unfriendly woman with a suspicious expression, and belatedly alerted: "Who are you?" β
"Who am I? Well asked, who am I? β
Feng Jing saw that the woman was smiling very creepy, and she subconsciously retreated, not wanting to get along with such a strange woman.
How do you know that this woman grabbed her hand and let her see her face clearly, she has the characteristics of the daughter of the Lin family, "I tell you who I am, I am another daughter of the Lin family, with a single name and a Lin character." β
She smiled and leaned towards Feng Jing, leaning into her ear and whispering, "I'm your hateful sister-in-law's cousin, and I have the same grudge against her as you, how about we join forces?" β
When tempting Fengjing, she looked up slightly at the plaque of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, this golden plaque confirmed her downfall, she hated, hated.
Obviously, she is the lady Hou who is high in the sky, and she only hates Lin Long for blocking her chance to rise to the top.
It was not easy to get rid of the crisis that Chang Gui wanted to sell her into a brothel, and now she is living in poverty, and she counted this account on Lin Long, which should have been hers.
New hatred and old hatred rushed up, and her face couldn't help but distort.
Feng Jing was tempted by her words, and the wolf BΓ¨i, who had been driven out of the mansion before, couldn't help but burn with anger in her heart, "How to join forces?" β
"Come, I'll sue you."
This is an opportunity given to her by God, and Lin Lin doesn't want to let it go.
The flower-viewing banquet in the mansion was still lively, Lin Long and Lin Li talked privately for a while, and after waking her up a few words, they were called by the people sent by Ye Zhong's family.
When I arrived at Ye Zhong's place, I saw Ye Qin's sitting impressively, and on one side was Wang Ye's old aunt and grandmother, and there was a young woman I didn't know standing beside Wang Ye's side.
"Mother-in-law, you call me?" After Lin Long stepped forward to salute several elders, he politely asked his mother-in-law.
"It's okay for me to call you, but I can't see your figure for a while, and I'm a little worried."
Ye Zhongshi actually didn't want his daughter-in-law to be too busy, and he was afraid that she would be entangled by others, so he happened to call her over under a name. Originally, she had a good rest here, but later Ye Qin and Wang Ye came over again, and only then did a few people who were not in harmony get together.
Lin Long smiled and instructed Su Wen to pour tea for a few elders, you can fight to the death on weekdays, but at this time, she wants to put on a faΓ§ade for outsiders to see.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my nephew and daughter-in-law." Wang Ye's skin smiled and said authentically.
"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, this is my aunt's newly married little daughter-in-law, right?" Lin Long also pulled his cheeks in response, and deliberately glanced at the girl of the Zhou family.
Wang Ye pulled Wang Zhou, the little daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, "That's right, deliberately brought her over to recognize your relatives, you know each other." β
Lin Long looked at Wang Ye's family in surprise, obviously seeing that this aunt was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, which is surprising, this aunt is not a good person to get along with, so it seems that the girl of the Zhou family has quite a set.
Wang Zhou saluted Lin Long with a smile, "I've met my cousin-in-law, I just got married and had a limited time, so I came to see my cousin-in-law at this time, and I ask my cousin-in-law to forgive me." β
The words were extremely decent, and it was not obvious that she was from a commercial house, it can be seen that the Zhou family taught their daughter well, but it was a pity that she married such a person, Lin Long felt a little sorry for her, so he smiled and helped her up, "Hurry up, cousins don't need to be so polite." β
"My daughter-in-law here is a lot of courtesy, although she is a businesswoman, she can be educated and educated." Wang Ye is quite proud.
"Mother-in-law praised it." Wang Zhou said with a smile, and he couldn't see the resentment that he should have if he married a fool.
Lin Long saw that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well, and quietly retreated to his mother-in-law to sit down, only to hear his mother-in-law whisper a comment, "Your cousin is not simple. β
Lin Long lowered his eyes slightly, it was indeed the case.
At this time, Ye Wang's family in the second room and Ye Cheng's family in the fourth room came hand in hand, obviously they couldn't stand Feng Chen's entanglement, and finally got rid of her, and now they don't take the opportunity to slip away.
"I've seen my mother-in-law." They asked Ye Qin's family to say goodbye.
Ye Qin's nodding with low interest, everyone is not surprised, this salt case has been sentenced, Ye Mingqi in the third room is really as the old marquis said, and his wife Ye Xiaoshi is also punished in the same way, as for his concubines, the male is outside the army, and the female is relegated to the teaching department.
The Ye family didn't come to the rescue, after all, it was too late to avoid suspicion, so they could only acquiesce to such a result, where could the Ye Qin clan be happy when they found out? She didn't even want to attend this banquet, but in the end she barely supported herself to sit and sit and support the scene.
Her eyes slipped over the faces of Ye Zhong and Lin Long, and her hand tightly picked at the palm of her hand, these two broom stars were all her favorite sons.
For Ye Qin's gaze, Ye Zhong's and Lin Long are not painful or itchy, and they won't lose a piece of meat anyway, just look at her.
Wang Ye poured a bowl of tea for her mother, and she restrained a lot when she returned to her parents' house this time, fortunately she didn't meet her father, otherwise she would have been disgraced again.
However, just as a dog can't change eating, her eyes looked at Lin Long's belly, which was more than five months pregnant, "I saw that my nephew and daughter-in-law's belly was quite round." β
Lin Long smiled, "Which one is not like this?" β
Ye Zhongshi on the side instantly pursed his lips and looked at Wang Ye with a little anger. "If my aunt and grandmother come back this time, I will still be the-stirring stick, then I won't give my aunt any more posts next time."
"Yo, sister-in-law, I didn't say anything to anger you, what are you doing?" Wang Ye complained dissatisfied.
Ye Wang's family in the second room couldn't help but say as if he was in a circle: "Sister-in-law, my aunt and grandmother don't have anything, and if you say that the belly is round and pregnant with a girl, not many people take it seriously, why do you mind?" β
Ye Zhongshi looked at Ye Wang's family in the second room unhappily, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, she is very proud?
Ye Qin's cold gaze shot at Lin Long's stomach, "What's wrong with my son?" Even when I saw it, I thought that this fetus was pregnant with a female fetus, and no one was allowed to say this? β
Lin Long's expression was grim, they said so much, it was just to hit her and make her feel bad, so she wouldn't fall into their trap lightly, and said happily with a look of indifference: "Whether it's a male fetus or a female fetus, my husband said that he likes it as much, and besides, the first flowering and then the fruits abound, we are not unhappy." β
"Hmph, it's really young and ignorant, can a girl be compared to a boy after giving birth?" Ye Qin sneered.
Ye Zhongshi sneered and faced the mother-in-law directly, "Mother-in-law, whether it is a man or a woman, this is expensive, if you don't admit it, even if my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are daughters-in-law, what about them?" I wasn't disappointed, she was still young, and she wanted her son to have a chance. β
Wang Ye pouted, "I didn't say anything, sister-in-law is really." β
"We're just talking about it, and no one takes it seriously." Ye Wangshi also pulled the corners of his mouth, but he still stared at Lin Long's stomach for a long time, and muttered, "It's really like a female fetus." β
Lin Long was unmoved, still sitting calmly.
The muscles on Ye Zhong's face tensed, and he turned his head to look at Lin Long, and saw that she was unmoved, so he was a little relieved.
However, there are no impermeable walls, so it will still go quietly at the banquet.
Lin Long listened to a lot of such voices next, and she just listened to it as a joke and didn't care, but this couldn't stop everyone's eyes from looking at her stomach, which made people a little annoyed.
But in front of her, no one dared to say that it was offensive to say that someone gave birth to a daughter.
But the whispers continued.
Lin Li found an opportunity to get close to Lin Long, "Cousin Long, why did I hear some bad rumors." β
"It's all rumors, even if you hear it, you don't have to worry about it." Lin Long said disapprerovingly, she looked left and right, and only saw the two daughters-in-law of the Feng family not far away, "Where is your mother-in-law?" β
"I'm busy looking for my sister-in-law." Lin Li pouted and said, "Later, I heard that she pretended to be a relative in the mansion and was kicked out, she was busy going out of the mansion to find it, but I didn't expect that there would be such a trick, the people in your mansion are really powerful." The voice could not hide the schadenfreude.
Lin Long hurriedly glanced at the two daughters-in-law of the Feng family, signaling Lin Li not to get carried away.
"Cousin Long, I know." Lin Li said in a low voice, it is only in front of this cousin that she will tell the truth, but after the enlightenment of this cousin, she is now getting acquainted with these two sisters-in-law a lot.
Lin Long patted her hand, and then turned around to arrange the dinner.
The two sisters-in-law of the Feng family saw Lin Long walking away, and hurriedly approached Lin Li to ask long and short questions, obviously they were quite envious that Lin Li could be so close to Lin Long.
Lin Li also intended to mingle with them at this time, at least not to let them secretly reject her anymore, and the atmosphere in which the three of them got along gradually became harmonious.
At the dinner, Su Ziyu, who was the queen, came in person, and all the ladies knelt down to greet each other, all looking at Lin Long with envy, the queen's arrival should be to support Lin Long.
