Chapter 42: Leakage
At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it was warm and cold.
After a sudden rainfall, the weather in central Beijing was also cold for two days, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.
On the third day of this rain, the sun finally appeared.
In the Lingxin Courtyard of the General's Mansion, the maids took out the bedding to dry.
Lin Wanwan sat boredly on the swing rack, swaying around and watching the maids in the courtyard busy.
"Miss, if you are bored, you can go to the second master to play. Your eldest cousin is not on duty today, and he must be in the second master's house. Mu Xiang gently pushed behind Lin Wanwan and suggested.
Lin Wanwan immediately shook her head.
It was precisely because Cousin Yi was there that she didn't want to go.
Last time, my grandfather and grandmother almost messed up the mandarin duck score, and she didn't know if her cousin would be uncomfortable.
And because of the last incident, the other two cousins were also felt by their uncle and didn't dare to take it seriously, so they were directly taken to the military camp for exercise.
Lin Wan didn't want to, and Mu Xiang didn't move, so he gently pushed the swing without making a sound.
Coriander came from the back wing room at this time, followed by Mulian, and held a stack of account books in her hand.
The two saw Lin Wanwan on the swing rack in the courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Seeing the stack of account books, Lin Wanwan said unconcernedly: "The inventory is over, but what's the problem?" ”
Mu Lian's heart tightened, and her face became a little unnatural.
Coriander glanced at her secretly, and then slowly replied: "Miss, everything on the book has been correct, and there are no big mistakes or omissions." It's just that some damaged objects are not easy to check correctly. ”
"Oh, ruined? I guess I can't find any whereabouts of those. Lin Wanwan slammed her toes on the ground to stop the swing from shaking.
Mu Xiang also stopped and stood to the side.
Hearing this, Coriander nodded lightly.
Lin Wanwan smiled, and her gaze swept over Mu Lian as if unintentionally. "Since it's broken, it's also discarded when it is recovered, so you don't have to pay attention to it."
was originally made extremely nervous by Lin Wanwan's gaze, but when she heard this unanswerable words, Mu Lian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's been a hard two days." Lin Wanwan waved his hand.
The two of them were busy and didn't dare to say anything, and heard her say: "Coriander, all my things will be taken care of by you in the future." Although things are simple around me, everything has to be done according to the rules. ”
"Let's re-register everything, if you check it again next time, I'll ask you if you don't know where to go. The eldest aunt purged some stewards a few days ago, and you know that. The most difficult thing to prevent is the house thief, what kind of stone... What ......"
Seeing that Lin Wanwan frowned, she couldn't remember the name, so she was busy. "Shi Chang's family."
Lin Wanwan suddenly said, "Yes, yes, the cause of the incident is this Shi Chang's family." His daughter's name is Chunlan, who works as an errand in the aunt's mother's house, and was found to have taken it. Then came the matter of the subsequent investigation. ”
"This kind of house thief is really hateful, eating the master, and daring to betray the master, it is light to beat thirty boards and then sell it! In the future, if this kind of traitor happens around me, I will be killed and thrown out to feed the dogs! Lin Wanwan said as her eyes turned cold, Mu Lian's heart was pounding when she saw it, and cold sweat was about to fall.
She knew about Chunlan's family the day before yesterday.
At that time, she was half scared to death, thinking that Chunlan's family had delivered the news for her.
After inquiring again, I learned that the cause was Chunlan's greed for what she bought.
Mu Lian recovered from Lin Wanwan's sharp words and smiled calmly.
Although Lin Guanwan's words always made her feel meaningful, if she really doubted herself, she would definitely not just give in such a punishment.
From what she just said, if she really wants to be discovered, she will definitely have to be dealt with.
Last time, the old lady was going to be the husband of the young lady, and then she sent a mother, but I am afraid that it is for the future of the young lady.
After all, at the age of thirteen, it is not appropriate to have a mother in the room to take care of affairs.
Mu Lian, who didn't know that her every move had fallen into the hands of others, covered her ears and thought to herself, and the whole person relaxed.
Lin Wanwan just sneered in her heart, she wanted to see how Mulian climbed to a high place in her previous life, and what means she had!
Just as he was talking, a maid came in at the gate of the courtyard, and she was in a hurry and led her directly to Lin Wanwan.
"I've seen Miss Cousin."
Seeing the lotus heart with red cheeks, Lin Wanwan let go and asked why she was in such a hurry.
Lianxin was the second-class maid of Old Madam Chen's courtyard, and she only heard her speak very quickly: "Miss Biao, Lin Shangshu is here, and she is in Fulu Courtyard at the moment." ”
This is to send her to Furokuin.
Lin Wan bowed his head and jumped off the swing. "You go and tell your grandmother first, and I'll change my clothes and I'll be there."
Lianxin was about to go down, but was stopped by Lin Wanwan again. "But someone is going to inform my brother?"
"Yes, the center of the lamp has gone."
Lin Wan snorted, turned around and went into the house to freshen up.
***
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law's proposal, I don't know what the two of you think?" Lin Hongzhi had a decent smile on his face, his tone was respectful, and he looked like a son-in-law.
Old Lady Chen snorted coldly, "You are going back on your word, but you promised to go out in March and then take the two brothers and sisters back." ”
Old Madam Chen was also unconcerned, staring coldly at her son-in-law in front of her.
When Lin Hongzhi heard this, he smiled again: "It's not that my son-in-law wants this, but now I have to do it." Mother-in-law knows what happened to Wanwan in the Hou Mansion, what if the Luo family, who had already had a holiday with the General's Mansion, told the truth? ”
Old Madam Chen heard the meaning of her words, and her face changed. "What do you mean by that?! Where is there any truth to be afraid of people saying?! ”
In the Hou Mansion, Luo Hao wanted to do something wrong with Lin Wanwan first, how did the Lin family know about it?
Old Madam Chen and Old Madam Chen were shocked in their hearts, not knowing whether this Lin Hongzhi was false or real.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, only you and I know about this matter, Wanwan has such a thing in the Hou Mansion, you don't have to worry too much. It's always the little grandfather of Na Luo's that is wrong first. ”
Lin Hongzhi spoke again, and his words were already very clear.
He just knew that the Hou Mansion and the General's Mansion wanted to hide it.
Mrs. Chen's breath stagnated, and her hand tightly grasped the arm of the chair.
"After this incident, as a father who failed to protect his children, the second brother is even doing it for them, and the son-in-law also has an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, the son-in-law wants to take the Qi'er brothers and sisters back to the house as soon as possible. Lin Hongzhi looked at such an old lady Chen, and there was a kind of pleasure in his heart.
I think that at the beginning, it was their Chen family who kept saying that his father could not protect his wife and children.
Now her daughter is following Mrs. Chen, and she almost ruined her reputation.
How this reversal made him unhappy!
Old Lady Chen and Old Lady Chen were unable to refute what they said.
It is true that Lin Wanwan was under their custody and almost had an accident.
No matter what happened, they were the ones who were to blame, and then they ......
"Moreover, there was a slight misunderstanding between my father-in-law and the old protector, and the emperor asked his grandson to apologize, and it was difficult for him to kick the door of the general's mansion. In case he was really angry because of his previous unpleasantness, and directly asked to marry on the grounds of Wanwan's reputation, I don't know how his father-in-law and mother-in-law should deal with it? ”
The old couple's thoughts were in turmoil, and Lin Hongzhi's words rang in their ears like thunder.
