Chapter 13: The Clouds

Lin Hongzhi is wearing a purple second-grade official uniform, he is in his prime, with the gentleness of a literati and the depth that has been precipitated over the years. Every move has a different majesty, and a pair of star eyes have a shimmering glow, which is extremely sharp.

"The son-in-law visits his mother-in-law, and wishes his mother-in-law a long life than Nanshan and eternal blessings." Lin Hongzhi saw that Mrs. Chen was sitting in the Taishi chair when he entered, and stepped forward to take a deep look.

Looking coldly at her son-in-law, who was becoming more and more imposing and wealthy, Mrs. Chen's whole person was like a piece of ice, and her whole body was bubbling with cold air. Seeing that he was speechless and still lowered his posture like that, he bowed motionlessly, and the resentment in his heart was contained.

"If you have a heart, sit down."

With a cold sentence, Mrs. Chen was exempted from the courtesy of her son-in-law, if she didn't think that her grandson would have to rely on his father in the future, she really didn't want to say the first half of a sentence to him.

Lin Hongzhi got up, smiled indifferently at Old Madam Chen, and then turned around and walked to the chair she was holding and sat down.

At this time, Lin Wanwan felt a hundred unwilling to step forward to say goodbye, although there was no smile on her face, but she was still respectful and well-behaved.

Lin Hongzhi has not seen his wife's children for a long time, but now he sees that his daughter is taller, and her etiquette is more familiar than during the New Year, and her smile is deeper. "No need to be polite, why don't you see your brother."

"My brother is with my mother, four sisters and four brothers, so I shouldn't be able to arrive." Lin Wanwan replied with a stiff smile.

She was used to her father's coldness, and now that she had a few more words to talk to her, she didn't know how to deal with it.

Hearing this, Lin Hongzhi hummed, and the little maid came to serve tea. He took two sips before speaking politely to Mrs. Chen.

The sound of singing in the backyard floated in from time to time, and Lin Wanwan stood behind Mrs. Chen, so bored that she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the heartbroken cry came with the sound of singing, and Lin Wanwan was suddenly driven away from sleepiness by the howl. Old Madam Chen's brows furrowed instantly.

The voice came from behind, it was past the stage, and there were a number of noble ladies there, and who howled like this on her birthday. Is it sincerity to block her?!

Old Madam Chen's face became gloomy when she heard the cry, and she was about to tell the maid to see what was going on, but the cry had already reached the door.

"Father, you have to be the master of your daughter!!"

As the crying became clearer and clearer, Lin Guanying, who was dressed in green clothes, had rushed into the house and pounced on Lin Hongzhi. Lin Haoqi and Xiao Chen also chased after them in a panic.

Seeing his father in the house, Lin Haoqi hurriedly saluted him first, and Xiao Chen also stepped forward to pull Lin Guanying up, and saw her husband looking at her with a frown, and suddenly turned red and wanted to speak, and then hung his head, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"What a howl! I'm still alive and well! Old Madam Chen saw the person coming clearly, slapped the table and scolded angrily, and the tea bowls on the table jumped a few times.

Xiao Chen seemed to be very scared, his body trembled, and then he pulled Lin Guanying to kneel down with a frightened face: "Mother is angry, Yingying is not sensible, mother, don't be angry." ”

"Grandmother, it's not that Yingying is ignorant, it's that my sister is too much! Do you know how Yingying lost her manners and vomited in front of all the guests, she was a sister...... Hmm, hmm......" Lin Guanying was about to vomit and be unhappy, but her mouth was covered by Xiao Chen halfway through.

Xu is trying to act realistically, this covering force made Lin Guanying about to roll her eyes, and she was about to be suffocated!!

It was clear that it was a trick to get away with it, and among the people present, only Lin Hongzhi bought it, only to see that his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. Thinking about what the second daughter said.

Lost the etiquette in front of the guests, or the girl's house, how can this be done?!

"What are you doing with your mouth and letting her explain what the hell is going on!!" Lin Hongzhi's voice was a little lower, with a kind of momentum that was not angry but mighty.

Lin Haoqi's heart chuckled, what he was afraid of just now was really coming, and his gaze at Xiao Chen was extremely complicated. Seeing that his father was already unkind, his heart was also raised and he looked at his sister worriedly, but Lin Wanwan's calm face still had a sweet smile on it, which made him stunned. Lin Wanwan doesn't look like she's in trouble...

Before Lin Haoqi could think deeply, Lin Guanying had already broken free from Xiao Chen's hand, and gasped: "Father, my sister deliberately put a earth dragon in the tea I drank!" I drank that tea before I was disgusted and lost my manners! ”

"Joke! You mean that my old wife is cooperating with you to bully you?! Old Madam Chen was furious and threw the cup when she heard this, and there was a bunch of fragments in front of Xiao Chen and Lin Guanying, and a few drops of hot tea splashed on their hands.

Lin Wanying screamed and withdrew her hand, knelt and moved two steps back, her little face was full of tears, and she trembled.

Xiao Chen also trembled, looking at Mrs. Chen who was sitting on the high seat with frightened eyes, and her voice was trembling: "Mother, Yingying didn't mean this, it was..."

"What is it! Wanwan came later when she was listening to the play, and the tea was already served, didn't she accuse me?! Or do you think that the minions of the General's Mansion dare to cross me and listen to Wanwan's orders and let her mess around?! ”

Mrs. Chen's words were obviously biased, Xiao Chen knew that his mother-in-law was difficult, but how could he know that she would be so difficult, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't care about protecting Lin Wanwan first. This accused the elders of a hat that she couldn't even argue with.

"Mother-in-law, I think there is something strange about this, why don't you let Yingying finish speaking?" Lin Hongzhi saw that his wife and daughter were being blamed, and his face was a little unsightly.

No matter what Xiao Chen's status is in the General's Mansion, he is now his stepfamily and his wife. The wife of his dignified second-class member knelt on the ground and was reprimanded, even if this person was her mother-in-law, he would be disgraced when it was passed out.

Old Madam Chen was extremely dissatisfied with her son-in-law, and said in a cold voice: "Finished? Just now she was already crazy and said that Wanwan threw the earth dragon in her face, I asked her where the earth dragon came from, and she couldn't say it for a long time. Now I say that Wanwan put the earth dragon in her tea, Wanwan has been by my side for all these years, and the earth dragon is an excellent medicine thing, how can it be wasted to play tricks on people? And the general's mansion can testify that they have never rummaged through the earth dragon these days, didn't this earth dragon appear out of thin air?! ”

The words that hit the important point made the sweat on the foreheads of Xiao Chen's mother and daughter drip out, Lin Wanwan applauded from the bottom of her heart, and praised Mrs. Chen's brain was too bright, and she instantly sorted out and found the key point. Lin Haoqi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, eased his nerves, and continued to stand silently aside.

Lin Hongzhi is also a person who has been through ups and downs for a long time, and he can't understand what Mrs. Chen said.

She was warning him that if he really wanted to pursue it, he would have to get to the bottom of it, and he had to find out where the earth dragon was that they hadn't even seen. And now Mrs. Chen has even moved out of the General's Mansion, which shows that this earth dragon is by no means a thing of the General's Mansion, so there is only ......

Thinking about it, Lin Hongzhi's eyes fell on Xiao Chen's mother and daughter who were kneeling on the ground, and when he noticed her husband's somewhat cold gaze, Xiao Chen's was excited again...

"Alas, why are you so ignorant of the rules, can you trespass on the land of this general's mansion?!"

Inside the house, when the atmosphere was calm, there was a sound of a maid blocking from outside the house, and then the words came in that made Xiao Chen, who had a frightened look on his face, and a sneer on the corner of his lips.

"I can't break into this general's mansion, but I can't let my young lady be bullied like that, I want to send the evidence I found to my young lady!!"
