There were still many guests who came to buy cloth in the cloth village, and after everyone heard Li Lingyu's words, they couldn't help but cast their eyes at Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue frowned slightly in everyone's curious gaze - some misunderstandings seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, she had thought that she would explain her relationship with Murong Jun clearly when she met Fang Mengru next time, but now it seems that even if she explains, no one will necessarily believe it.

"Miss Seven, please speak politely, it's not up to you to decide whether you can fly on the branches, but Your Highness the Third Highness." Lin Yingxue really didn't expect that Lin Yingxiang, who has always been silent and introverted, would actually stand up and help her speak. She couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the people next to her, only to see Lin Yingxiang staring at Li Lingyu with an angry face, although she looked very imposing on the surface, but looking at the slightly dodging gaze of the person next to her, Lin Yingxue knew that Lin Yingxiang must have mustered up the courage to stand up and say this for her.

She was slightly moved in her heart, but before she could speak, Li Lingyu had already continued: "Heh, what are you daydreaming about!" A concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a concubine who crawled out of the belly of a lowly subordinate, who will His Royal Highness choose, isn't that an obvious thing? With your kind of goods, if it weren't for the stubborn pestering of the Third Highness, would the Third Highness take a more look at you? ”

Li Lingyu's words are sharp, almost every word in and out of the words is aimed at Lin Yingxue, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will be angry when he is targeted like this, not to mention that Lin Yingxue never thinks that he is a good-tempered person.

"Really?" Lin Yingxue glanced at Li Lingyu coldly, and said calmly: "I don't think so, if all the concubines are as uneducated and indiscriminate as shrews in the market, then it is really uncertain who the Third Highness will choose." ”

"Who do you say is a shrew!" In terms of lip service, Lin Yingxue has never met an opponent. As soon as her voice fell, Li Lingyu blushed with anger, if she hadn't been held by the maid ring on the side, I am afraid that the person in front of her would have rushed up to teach her a lesson by now.

"That's it!" Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Fang Mengru on the side finally couldn't help but sink his face and said, "Lingyu, it's you who have gone too far!" You were just willful when you were a child, how old are you now, how can you still talk like this? ”

Fang Mengru did not save face for Li Lingyu because he was in front of the public, and looking at Fang Mengru's expression, this harsh reprimand was not deliberately made for everyone to see, but really angry.

After seeing Fang Mengru twice, the impression given to Lin Yingxue by the people in front of her was that she was honest and frank, if it weren't for Murong Jun's affairs in the middle, Lin Yingxue really wanted to make friends with the person in front of her.

Just as Lin Yingxue was thinking about it, Li Lingyu on the side was a little dissatisfied: "Sister Ru, I'm talking to you, how can you turn your elbow out, but help an outsider!" Li Lingyu was so angry that he stomped his feet.

But Fang Mengru on the side was unmoved, "I'm just talking about things." ”

Hearing Fang Mengru's answer, Li Lingyu was almost so angry that she vomited blood, "You...... You can't be a human being like this, no wonder Your Highness doesn't like you! ”

Although Li Lingyu and Fang Mengru are friends, how can an unruly lady who grew up in a honey pot be accused like this? Li Lingyu was so angry that she turned around and left, and when she left, she didn't forget to insert a knife into Fang Mengru's heart.

But fortunately, Fang Mengru was not such a scheming person, but she frowned slightly, and did not show any obvious dissatisfaction with this.

"Lingyu has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, and she is a little rude when she speaks, so please don't take it to heart for Miss Five." Fang Mengru bowed her head and apologized to Lin Yingxue for Li Lingyu.

Lin Yingxue turned sideways to avoid it, and did not accept Fang Mengru's apology, "If you want to say that there is a mistake, it is also Miss Li Qi's fault, and it has nothing to do with Miss Fang." Besides, I have already returned what I should say, Miss Fang doesn't have to be like this. ”

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Lin Yingxue returned to the Lin family with Lin Yingxiang.

"Miss, the eldest lady and the second master have been waiting for the young lady in the ancestral hall for a while, so let's go over quickly!" As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Lin family, Di'er hurried over.

Seeing Di'er's anxious look, Lin Yingxue couldn't help frowning and said, "What's wrong?" Do you know what my father and aunt are looking for me? ”

Di'er shook her head, "The master just sent someone to invite the young lady, and he didn't say what it was." ”

What's the matter with letting her go to such an important place as the ancestral hall? Lin Yingxue couldn't think of an answer, but felt a little headache, "Second sister, then you go back first, I'll go to the ancestral hall to see what my father is looking for me." ”

"I'll go with you, anyway, I'm going to greet my mother at night, and it just so happens that my mother is there, so I don't have to run again." Lin Yingxiang replied worriedly.

Lin Yingxue is not a fool, she naturally knows that Lin Yingxiang is afraid that something will happen to her, so she said that she would go with her. And there was no such closeness between her and Lin Yingxiang in the past, that is, since recently, Lin Yingxiang has gradually become close to her.

Lin Yingxiang has always been timid, although she was forced by the obscenity of Lin Yingling and others when she was a child, and bullied her with them, but she didn't do anything excessive to her when she got older, there was nothing too big between her and Lin Yingxiang, and now although they don't get along with each other very well, they are much better than ordinary people.

"Okay then." Since Lin Yingxiang wanted to go over with her, Lin Yingxue didn't say much, and the two walked towards the ancestral hall with their own hearts.

The ancestral hall is the important place of the Lin family, and ordinary people rarely come here, but this is where Lin Yingxue often came when she was a child - at that time, the subordinates and Lin Yingling and others always liked to do some bad things to frame her head, so being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall was almost a common thing for her when she was a child, when she was young, she was so scared that she cried every time she was at night, she remembered that her mother would secretly run over and stand outside the window to talk to her, and she would stand in the middle of the night, and she didn't leave until she fell asleep......

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, the closest people have left, but those warm moments in her mind are firmly engraved in her memory, she sometimes even thinks that she has forgotten these trivial things, but when she really wants to remember, these memories will pop out of somewhere, injecting new strength into her tired body.

"Yingxue is here." Lin Yingxue turned her head to look at Liu who was walking towards her in a trance, and at this moment, the appearance of her mother in her memory and the appearance of the person in front of her were fused together.

"This child, why is this expression, is there something on the eldest aunt's face?" Seeing that Lin Yingxue didn't speak, Liu just looked at her in surprise, and she couldn't help laughing.

After hearing Liu's words, Lin Yingxue came back to her senses, she lowered her head and smiled, hiding the loneliness in her expression.

"I don't know why my aunt and father are looking for Yingxue to come here?" When she raised her head again, Lin Yingxue had already returned to normal, and she couldn't see half of her surging emotions.

"Of course it's a good thing." Liu touched Lin Yingxue's head lovingly, and didn't look at Lin Yingxiang on the side from beginning to end, Lin Yingxiang, who was originally going to say something, saw this, and after seeing the ceremony, he silently stepped aside and stood with those maids.

No one noticed Lin Yingxiang's existence, as if Lin Yingxiang should be standing there, and even Lin Yingxue, who was busy talking to the Liu family for a while, forgot that Lin Yingxiang came with her.

Lin Yingxue walked to Lin Zhengjie with Liu's doubts, Lin Zhengjie was originally standing with his back to Lin Yingxue, and he didn't turn his head until he heard the footsteps behind him.

"Here we are." Lin Zhengjie's expression was a little solemn, so much so that Lin Yingxue unconsciously tensed her mind.

Liu seemed to sense Lin Yingxue's tightness, she quietly squeezed Lin Yingxue's hand, and the warmth and soft touch from the palm of her hand made Lin Yingxue's heart settle down at once.

Looking at Lin Yingxue's delicate and flower-like face, Lin Zhengjie was silent for a long time before he said: "Your eldest aunt has watched you grow up since she was a child, and has always treated you as her own daughter, but now that your mother has died, your eldest aunt feels pity and wants to pass you under her knees, are you willing?" ”

Lin Zhengjie's words sounded like a thunderbolt in Lin Yingxue's ears, so that Lin Yingxue was stunned on the spot. As if in disbelief, Lin Yingxue turned her head to look at Liu beside her, only to see that Liu was looking at her with a gentle face, and her soft eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the face deeply engraved in her memory.

"I ......" joy and all kinds of mixed emotions surged up from the bottom of her heart, straight to Lin Yingxue's throat, she opened her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Liu's eyes were even more pity. She stretched out her hand and touched Lin Yingxue's head, and her voice was very soft and low: "Silly boy, what you heard is true, tell your aunt and your father quickly, are you willing to live with your aunt in the big house in the future?" ”

"Yes." Of course she does!

Not only because she will be the nominal concubine in the future after she succeeds to the big house, but also because there is another person around her who cares about her like a mother.

It's a warmth she hasn't experienced for a long time!

Then Lin Yingxue completed the adoptive ceremony in a trance, she felt as if she was in a dream, everything she was doing now seemed so unreal, until she knelt down and shouted to Liu: "Mother." At that moment, she really came out of the illusion -

Although she never minds others talking about belittling her identity, from now on, she will be the serious daughter of the Lin family, and no one can criticize her with this handle anymore! And from now on, she and Lin Zhengjie will no longer be father and daughter, and if they meet outside in the future, they will just be honored as a second uncle.

She is finally a little farther away from this unsympathetic man, and she is finally a little farther away from the dirty place of the second room!

In the future, identity will no longer be her shackles, and she has more confidence to fly higher and farther into the sky!

"Congratulations to the fifth sister." Lin Yingxiang stood out of nowhere and congratulated Lin Yingxue with a smile.

Lin Yingxue could naturally see the trace of jealousy that the person in front of her was trying to hide under the bright smile, but she didn't mind - she was also a concubine, and she was obviously much luckier than Lin Yingxiang.

"Thank you, second sister." Lin Yingxue smiled lightly, and all the fiery and excited emotions dissipated like clouds, hidden in her heart as calm as water.
