The footsteps got closer and closer, and the cry gradually became clearer.

Lin Zhen saw a small figure covering her face and crying behind the rockery, looking like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, Lin Zhen frowned, "What are you crying here?" ”

The huddled figure moved suddenly, and the small red and swollen eyes showed panic through the fingers.

Lin Hao was wearing a plain white middle coat and long hair, coupled with the fact that the light was mottled in this place, Lin Hao's face was very terrifying, and the small figure stammered, "Ghost, ghost......."

The exclamation instantly disappeared into Lin Hao's palm, and she didn't want to alarm anyone.

"I'm not a ghost, you don't have to be afraid."

Lin Hao shook her head helplessly, only then did she release her palm from her face and half-squatted down, "Don't scream." ”

"You're not a ghost! Your hands are warm, and my sister is also from the house? The little maid was a child after all, and she was startled and frightened, and burst into tears.

"Yes." Lin Hao nodded, not denying it.

"I'm Xiaohuan of Qiulan Courtyard, so I was sent to the house." Xiaohuan said that his eyes were red again.

Akiran-in? The courtyard of the second lady Zhou Mei.

"You're crying here in the middle of the night, but you're being bullied?" Lin Hao asked casually, it was inconvenient for her to interfere with the maid of Qiulan Courtyard.

Xiaohuan nodded, then shook his head again.

"Xiaohuan is just worried about the family, if it weren't for my father's critical illness, my stepmother would not have sold me, I also have a younger sister, only six years old, if my stepmother also sold her, wouldn't she be too pitiful." Xiaohuan choked up, tears dripping to the ground.

"So you're crying here? Your father's illness is cured? Will your sister not be sold by her stepmother? Lin Hao said lightly.

"You ......" Xiaohuan just wanted to refute, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only stare at Lin Hao with red eyes, "If it's you, what will you do?" ”

"If it were me, I would work diligently in this house, and strive to be appreciated by the steward, so that I could naturally be promoted to a first-class maid, and then follow a good master, the most unfortunate monthly silver taels can be used by your father to see a doctor, and your stepmother will not have an excuse to sell your sister, in the future, everything can only rely on yourself, you can redeem yourself, who can help you if you have a body?"

Lin Hao's every word and sentence hit Xiaohuan's heart, although she is not very old, she has experienced changes in her family, and she can probably tell the difference.

"Hmmm......"

The stuffiness in his chest was slightly gagged, unspeakable, but he focused his head.

"It's late at night, go back! Crying is the most useless thing, it hurts your mind and is laborious, if you want to change, the premise is that you survive. Lin Hao had already gotten up at this time, and her worries were swept away tonight.

Unsatisfactory things in the world, nine times out of ten.

The more you care, the more demonic you become.

A trace of cool air rushed into the internal organs, and it was bumpy on the wounds full of holes, which made Lin Hao indescribably comfortable.

Early the next morning, Lin Hao's first thing was to visit Lin's mother.

When I arrived at Mother Lin's yard, I saw that Steward Zhang was in a hurry, and he saw that he was going to his mother's place.

"Girl."

Steward Zhang also saw Lin Hao at this time, and his footsteps stopped, but the sweat on his forehead kept stopping, as if there was something tricky.

"Steward Zhang, is there anything to ask my mother for?"

Lin Hao opened her mouth to intercept, if it was really a tricky matter, she didn't want her mother to overwork, and now because of her brother's affairs, she was in a hurry, and she couldn't be stimulated.

"This ......"

Steward Zhang rarely hesitated, but now there are many rights and wrongs in the prefect's house, but his wife fell ill again, "Back girl, it's the daughter-in-law of the Wei Mansion who is here." ”

"Wei Mansion?"

Lin Hao didn't expect it to be the He family for a while, so Steward Zhang mentioned, "It's the cousin's ......."

"Oh. What did she come to do? ”

Lin Hao responded indifferently, unfazed.

Now that Lin Chen is in the prison, if the Wei family intends to take this opportunity to talk about marriage, it is not impossible.

"Yes, it's about my cousin's marriage, and I said I want to discuss it with my wife." This steward has been in the Chengguo Mansion for many years, if he can't figure out this little thing, how can he sit in this position, this Chengguo Mansion also has more than 100 people up and down, all pay attention everywhere, just the moon twist in the mansion will confuse him.

"You go and invite to the side hall, my mother is not happy, I will meet the daughter-in-law of Wei Mansion."

Lin Hao didn't care, although she hadn't married to the Wei Mansion in her previous life, she knew that Wei Tingxuan's brother had already married a wife, and she didn't know what her character was.

Today, she came to Wei Mansion in person to take this trip, most of which was the idea of Wei Mansion, and the housewife did not dare to come, so she sent her daughter-in-law.

"In this way, I can only listen to the girl." Steward Zhang hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly responded, but did not stop him.

Soon I saw a woman led into the side hall by Steward Zhang, the woman thought that she had never been to such a luxurious place, her face was a little cramped and uneasy, a pair of narrow eyes kept looking around, listening to the steward's recommendation, only to see Lin Zhen sitting on the upper left.

"Girl, someone is coming." Steward Zhang said.

Lin Zhen flicked her hand, and Steward Zhang stepped back, and a maid served tea later.

"You must be Miss Lin, right?"

The woman was wearing a pink flower placket, but the Zhu Hai on her head was a little old, but her restless and cramped eyes were mixed with envy, it was Wei Tingxuan's sister-in-law Wei Tang.

"Sit down."

Lin Hao was not familiar with her, so she only responded lightly.

"I'm here to see Mrs. Lin, about my brother's marriage with Miss Wang...... "This family affair The mother of the Wei family gritted her teeth with hatred, although it was related to the Chengguo Mansion, but who knew that it was a poor relative, and as soon as the Chengguo Mansion had an accident, she was quickly sent to be a lobbyist.

"What? This marriage contract has been made, what is the problem? Lin Hao's face fell, "Could it be that I can't climb the Wei Mansion in the Chengguo Mansion?" ”

"Look at what the girl said." When the woman saw Lin Zhen say that she would change her face, she didn't put her in her eyes at all, and she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, but the lintel was a little higher, and according to her seniority, she should still call herself sister-in-law!

But she was under someone else's roof, and she couldn't have a seizure, her face was flushed, so she had to sneer, "Wei Fu means to push the marriage date, and it's not because of Lin Gongzi's business right now...... I was afraid that the Guogong Mansion would not be able to be busy, so my mother sent me to talk about it. ”

"Could it be that Mrs. Wei still thinks that our Chengguo Mansion is about to fall? This little thing still needs to be delayed? Or is the Wei Mansion afraid of causing trouble, and deliberately avoiding me Chengguo Mansion will not succeed? Wei Mansion crossed the river and demolished the bridge like this, I'm afraid that anyone in the capital who wants to save face can't do such a thing, right? ”

What a sharp tooth and sharp mouth!

did not leave the slightest affection for the Wei Mansion, and poked the backbone of each sentence.

Wei Tang's face changed greatly, this young lady of the Chengguo Mansion was so open-mouthed, and there was no one in her eyes.

In front of her, she counted the Wei Mansion like this, and at this moment, the Wei Tang Clan couldn't laugh if she wanted to, she could see it, not only her, but also the entire Wei Mansion Lin Hao might not be in her eyes.
