Chapter 21: Hostility
Originally, they wanted to make Lin Wanjin look ugly, and it was best to offend Wei Ziyu, the eldest lady, but they didn't expect that in the end, she actually got Wei Ziyu's liking.
Lin Wanqiong bit her lip and glared at Lin Wanke secretly, and in a blink of an eye, her face was already calm.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the pavilion looking at Lin Wanjin changed again, but Lin Wanjin felt inexplicable in her heart, this Miss Wei was finding fault with herself and showing favor to herself, but she only felt hostility from the other party.
Why is that? She didn't know this person before, and their family had just returned to the capital not long ago, so they wouldn't offend anyone, right?
This Miss Wei is obviously just fighting for herself, not for the other ladies of the Lin Mansion, so she is fighting for herself. I have only seen people from the Lin Mansion when I came to the capital, except for Su Qing, Su Qing? It's her?
Lin Wanjin couldn't figure out what the connection was for a while, mainly because she didn't know a series of relationships in the capital, and it seemed that she had to speed up to figure out the relationship between these forces.
Wei Ziyu couldn't help but be annoyed when she saw that Lin Wanjin was still indifferent, and at this moment a maid came in and walked up to Lin Wanjin's side and whispered. "Miss Seven, the old lady invites you to Deocugin." Lin Wanjin was stunned for a moment, turned her head and glanced at her, it was the big girl pomegranate next to her grandmother.
Although she was surprised in her heart, Lin Wanjin still smiled and nodded slightly, looking up at Lin Wanyu, only to see that she was looking at herself and nodded at herself. Lin Wanjin got up and left quietly, for pomegranates, presumably other people in the Lin Mansion are much more familiar than herself, she came to call Lin Wanjin, it must be the matter of Mrs. Lin's side, Lin Wanyu will not say that she wants to stop it at this time.
It was a cronie beside her grandmother, even Lin Wanqiong and Lin Wanke didn't dare to say anything at this time. Although Wei Ziyu has a noble status, it is basically because of Wei Guifei's love for her, she is not as innocent and brainless as she seems on the surface, so she obviously saw Lin Wanjin's departure, but she did not intend to pursue it.
Lin Wanjin followed Pomegranate to Deshou Temple, and Begonia had already walked to Pomegranate to inquire about the news, but Pomegranate didn't say anything, just said with a smile. "The slave didn't know what it was, and the old lady only said that she was calling you over."
Pomegranate is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance is very pretty, and her eyebrows and eyes are soft and comfortable, which makes people look comfortable. Lin Wanjin glanced at the pomegranate walking with her eyes down, and stopped the begonia who wanted to continue asking.
"I was in the pavilion just now, but I didn't see the fourth sister, Sister Pomegranate, did you see her?"
Pomegranate raised her eyes and looked at Lin Wanjin, then turned away again in an instant, and returned with a smile. "The slave didn't see the fourth lady either." After a pause, she continued. "But on the way here, the slave maid heard that the fourth lady seemed to go back to Qingfeng Garden to get something."
"Oh? No wonder, thank you Sister Pomegranate for informing me. Since it wasn't Lin Wanqi's business, Lin Wanjin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't see Lin Wanqi in the pavilion just now, and now the pomegranate next to her grandmother came to call her to Deokshouin in an ominous voice, she naturally thought of Lin Wanqi, thinking that something had happened to her.
Now it seems that it is not Lin Wanqi's business, so what will it be?
She couldn't figure it out for a while, and Pomegranate couldn't say anything, so she had to wait until she arrived at Deoksugin Temple.
While thinking about it, they soon arrived at Deoksugin Temple, which seemed much quieter than the bustle along the way.
When Lin Wanjin entered, Begonia was stopped outside, her face did not change, and when she entered the hall, she saw her grandmother and mother, as well as her eldest aunt Li.
"I've seen grandmothers, aunts, mothers." Lin Wanjin's heart sank, but she didn't show anything on her face, and stepped forward to ask for peace.
The expressions on the faces of Mrs. Lin and the others were fine, but the stern sΓΉ in their eyes made Lin Wanjin's heart skip a beat.
"Jin'er, come, come over to grandmother's side, you don't have to be afraid, grandmother called you over just to ask you a few words." Old lady Lin Lin stretched out her hand and beckoned to Lin Wanjin and said with a smile, the Li family next to her changed her face when she heard this, and her eyes became a little anxious, but when she received her mother-in-law's eyes, she didn't dare to say more, so she had to sit there with patience and not move.
"Yes." Lin Wanjin stepped forward.
Old Mrs. Lin smiled and looked at Lin Wanjin's eyes seriously, there were only doubts and a little uneasiness in them, her heart was relieved, and the expression on her face couldn't help but relax.
"Did you meet anyone special today?"
"Someone special?" A seven-year-old child shouldn't understand the word special person, right?
"Well, it should be said that it is someone other than the brothers and sisters in the family."
So Lin Wanjin described the people in the pavilion in general, and finally she paused, and still told Shen Ye about it. "Hmm...... There was also a strange person, he jumped down from the tree to scare Jin'er, ah, by the way, he said that he lost a jade pendant, Wanjin wanted to come to report to her grandmother, but she met her sisters in the pavilion, and she didn't have time yet. β
"Jade pendant? Did you find it? Li's face changed when he heard this, and he straightened up and looked at Lin Wanjin and asked.
Old Lady Lin glanced at Li and didn't speak, Li's body stiffened, but she could only grit her teeth and continue to stare at Lin Wanjin, she couldn't help this matter, she had to figure out what was going on.
Just now in front of so many guests, the prince of Dingguo suddenly said that he lost a piece of family heirloom jade pendant in Lin Mansion, she was startled, this is amazing, people kindly ran to your house to celebrate your birthday, but lost the family heirloom jade pendant. How to explain this, fortunately, the prince of Dingguo was stopped by the Duchess of Dingguo, so he did not continue to talk at that time, but she, the master, could not leave it alone.
Therefore, she quietly found the Duchess of Dingguo to understand the situation, and her heart was half cold at that time, it turned out that the prince of Dingguo had already told the people of their Lin Mansion about it, but it was only because he had not seen the news for a long time that he said it in a hurry.
After understanding the situation, the Li family also guessed that the Lin Mansion person who came into contact with the prince of Dingguo was Lin Wanjin, who had just entered Beijing. At the moment, she was annoyed and funny in her heart, it stands to reason that Lin Wanjin, a seven-year-old little girl, has just entered Beijing and doesn't know much about many things, in that case, it is understandable that she did not report the matter in time, and so is this world, who is not good to find her.
I also felt that the maid who followed Lin Wanjin was really casual, but she knew that the girl who was following Lin Wanjin today was the big girl Begonia next to Xiao Su's side, such a thing, Miss couldn't think of it, she couldn't think of it?
No matter what, she apologized and assured the Duchess of Dingguo at the moment, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Lin and Xiao Su, and after explaining the matter in detail, she called Lin Wanjin over.
