Lin Yunshu approached the second lady step by step and asked her speechless.

"You still eat fasting and recite Buddha every day, dare you ask what you are reciting?"

Lin Yunqi had never seen such a stern side of this sister, and she was shocked for a while, and at the same time, her face changed greatly by the truth she suddenly heard.

I can't imagine that the second aunt, who usually looks gentle and kind, has such a ruthless heart?

"Enough!" The second lady slapped her palm on the table, using anger to hide her weakness, "Everything I have done is to protect the reputation of the Lin family and your second brother, maybe the means are a little more vicious, but it is not your turn to accuse!" ”

Lin Yunshu sneered: "Yes, I really don't have the qualifications to accuse you, who made you an elder?" I don't care about you, but don't move my people! ”

"Your people? What do you mean? Lin Yunqi asked puzzled.

"Yesterday, I had already transferred her to Yashuxuan to do things, and now she is my personal maid, no one wants to touch her!"

Lin Yunshu said in a firm tone, with a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth, which was deliberately shown to the second lady.

From now on, she has to resist, and light things are a good start, she wants everyone to see that Lin Yunshu is not a person who goes against the grain.

"Also, I won't agree to the marriage of the Li family, you want to exchange me for money, don't even think about it!"

"You...... Outrageous! The second lady glared at her angrily, "Rebel girl! Do you want to be angry with me? ”

"I don't want to make my mother angry, you and my father pushed me too hard, and I can't help it." Lin Yunshu said, immediately turned around and left.

The second lady sat on the soft couch and trembled with anger.

Lin Yunqi comforted a few words, and hurriedly chased and ran out of the door.

"Second Sister ......"

Without waiting for her to speak, Lin Yunshu waved her hand and said, "If my sister wants to persuade me to go back and apologize to my mother, you still don't have to waste your tongue, I won't go back." ”

"I didn't know that the relationship between you and your second aunt had become so bad, why did you never say it?" Lin Yunqi said with sympathy.

"Everyone has something unpleasant to deal with, I don't want to say it and make you worry about me," Lin Yunshu showed a hint of astringent laughter, "Besides, even if I tell you, what?" You can't do anything, can you? ”

"If you are talking about the marriage with the Li family, I can tell my father, as well as the elders of the clan, and let them make decisions for you."

Lin Yunshu shook her head: "Do you really think they can call the shots for me?" ”

"Why not? Didn't the marriage between my aunt and the eldest young master of the Meng family more than ten years ago also come to an end because those elders intervened? The elders don't like businessmen, and they will definitely not agree to the second uncle marrying you to the Li family. ”

Lin Yunqi said with confidence.

Lin Yunshu suddenly smiled: "Sister, what you think is too simple. ”

"How?"

"Do you really think that the marriage between my aunt and Young Master Meng was broken because the elders did not agree? No, the real main reason is that the grandfather does not agree. Lin Yunshu said with a serious face.

"Grandfather considered that if the Lin family wants to continue to prosper for a long time, it must have a reliable backstage in the imperial court, and the Dingguo Mansion is obviously a good choice, so he married his aunt to the Feng family."

"I think that in the past few years when my aunt got married, she must have been very bitter with her sweetheart, which is why she died at such a young age, right?"

Lin Yunqi always thought that Lin Yunshu was the kind of person who only asked about the world and did not eat the fireworks of the world, but at this moment, she understood that she knew far more than her.

So, has she been disguising herself all these years?

"Let's not talk about this yet, lightly that girl, do you really want to protect her? Or is it just to do it against the second aunt? ”

"Let's be honest, on the one hand, I want to do it with my mother by doing something gentle, and on the other hand, I really want to protect it."

"Let's not talk about how she is, at least in this matter, she is innocent, it is the second brother who entangles her, because of the second brother's romance, many girls have suffered, I don't want to see things like that happen again."

Lin Yunshu replied very seriously.

"Sister, I know that because of His Royal Highness the Prince, you have some opinions about her, but the past has passed, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also returned to the capital, what mustard can't be put down? Even if it's for my sake, sister, you don't have to worry about her anymore, okay? ”

As she spoke, she held Lin Yunqi's hand and looked at her eagerly.

Lin Yunqi didn't want to spoil the sisterhood, so she nodded and said: "Okay, for your sake, I won't embarrass her anymore, but you will take care of her in the future, if she does something that makes me unpleasant, I won't spare her." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I will discipline her well." Lin Yunshu smiled and nodded.

Although the other party's face was also full of smiles, she understood that because of this incident, the other party had already estranged her in her heart, and since she wanted to keep it light, it was unavoidable.

In the courtyard of Yashuxuan, Feng Qingfang was pacing back and forth, although he looked calm on his face, he was a little uneasy in his heart.

She had already heard of the second lady's methods, if Lin Yunshu couldn't stop her, she would most likely be beaten out of the Lin Mansion like a few maids who were favored by Lin Jingsong.

Leaving the Lin Mansion is still a trivial matter, and losing a small life is a big deal.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Lin Yunshu's figure walk in.

"Second Miss, Second Lady's ......"

"Don't worry, the second lady won't come to you for trouble for the time being, but you'd better not leave my side next, let alone meet the second brother again, otherwise I don't know if I can protect you."

Lin Yunshu frowned, her eyes full of worry.

Of course, Feng Qingyan knew that he had to avoid Lin Jingsong, but the problem was that that guy's ghost was still lingering.

She was really unlucky, she just wanted to investigate the truth about Lin Yitang's death, why did she get into such a big trouble?

In the next few days, Feng Qingfang had to follow Lin Yunshu every day without leaving her every day, using her as a shelter umbrella, unexpectedly, Lin Jingsong did not come to entangle again, and it was calm for several days.

This morning, Lin Yunshu, who had just finished eating breakfast, suddenly said: "Lian'er, gently, you guys should prepare, I want to go to Beizhuang for a while." ”

"Don't make a deal?" Feng Qingfang didn't know what it was.

"This is where the old lady now lives in her illness," Lian'er explained, "ten miles north of the city." ”

Old Madam Lin?

Feng Qing's heart was overjoyed, wasn't that the grandmother of the original owner? No wonder I haven't seen her for so many days at the Lin family, it turned out that she moved to another village.

The old lady is Lin Yitang's mother-in-law, she must know about Lin Yitang's past with Mencius, if you can ask her......

But now she is just a subordinate of the Lin Mansion, why does the old lady tell her so much?

It's a bit of a hassle.

"Gently, gently?" Seeing her in a daze, Lian'er stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her, "What do you think?" Why don't you go pack your things yet? ”

"Pack up?" Feng Qing was confused, Beizhuang is not far from here, do you have to pack your luggage for a trip?

"Every time the second lady goes to Bezhuang, she will stay there for a day or two, take care of the old lady, and do her filial piety, so she must pack up her daily necessities for several days."

I see...... Feng lightly hooked the corners of her lips, so it would be better, she would have enough time to probe there.

Half an hour later, Feng followed Lin Yunshu and Lian'er into the carriage and headed to the northern outskirts of the city.

"Gently, are you from Lanzhou, or are you from out of town?" Lin Yunshu suddenly broke the silence and looked at Feng Qing and asked wildly.

Feng smiled slightly, and replied while weaving words: "The slave is a foreigner, and she came from Wuzhou. ”

"Wuzhou?" Lin Yunshu nodded, "Wuzhou is just south of Lanzhou, the two places are adjacent, but not far, it is said that the scenery there is charming, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is a very suitable water town in the south of the Yangtze River to settle down, I have always wanted to see it, but unfortunately I didn't have this opportunity." ”

Feng chuckled maniacally and said nothing.

A standard lady like Lin Yunshu usually doesn't go out of the door, how can she go out so far?

I'm afraid that this life is just limited to thinking.

After that, there was silence again, and several people did not speak again, as if they all had their own agendas.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally stopped, Feng Qing frantically lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see a house with blue tiles and red walls sitting at the foot of the mountain, and the plaque above the gate read the words "Lin Family Courtyard".

After getting out of the carriage and standing in front of the door and looking up at the building in front of him, Feng Qingfang suddenly remembered the Leng Xiangyuan on the outskirts of the capital.

It was also a place to recuperate, and Lin Yitang lived there for several years, and he did not return to the Feng family's mansion until he died.

After a while, the subordinates inside came out to greet each other and warmly invited Lin Yunshu in.

"Gently, Lian'er, you can take your luggage to the guest house, and I'll go and say hello to my grandmother first."

Lin Yunshu went to the main courtyard, and Feng Qingyan followed Lian'er to settle down.

Behind him, the voice of the grandmother who took care of the old lady here: "The second lady is really filial, she will come to visit the old lady every month, unlike the others, who have not seen anyone for a year and a half, compared to others, the difference between this person and others is really big." ”

Another bowed his head in agreement: "Isn't it? Even the two lords and ladies rarely come, only the second lady is so hearted, which is really rare. ”

Feng Qingfang couldn't help but wonder, is this family so indifferent? Not only for Lin Yitang, but even for Mrs. Lin?

When she came to the guest house, after everything was settled, Feng Qingyan and Lian'er had nothing to do, so she took Lian'er and took her around.

"Big families are different, even the other courtyards are so big and gorgeous." Feng said with starry eyes, vividly interpreting the image of a country girl who has never seen the world.

Lian'er thought to herself, even if she was the daughter of a merchant in the past, I am afraid that the family is not a big family, and it is normal that she has not seen anything in the world, so she did not suspect it.

"It is said that this was the old mansion of the Lin family before, and it has a history of hundreds of years."
