On this day, Zhilan and her father were writing in the study of Liyuan, but they heard Changgui report: "Master, Mrs. Lin has something to see you." Zhilan felt strange, wasn't Mrs. Lin her mother? And add a "big" to do something. was wondering, but saw her father frown and said, "No." Let her go to her wife if she has something to do. ”

Changgui said with a bitter face: "But—but master, she has already come in." ”

Before Changgui's words fell, he heard a cold woman's voice: "What? Can't let people see it yet? While he was speaking, a woman of about twenty years of age entered the house.

There was something familiar between the woman's eyebrows and eyes, as if she had seen it. Zhilan tried to search for memories in her mind, and finally reminded her that this woman was the sister-in-law of the Lin family in the mansion she had come to the second day of her birth. I heard that since Lin Mubai's brother Lin Muyang died seven years ago, the Dafu side has had little contact with this side. The last time I came, it was because the sister-in-law of the Lin family wanted to take advantage of Mrs. Lin's confinement to take over the financial power. Zhilan has never understood why this sister-in-law of the Lin family does not deal with her mother-in-law. Is there something hidden in this? Now this woman took the initiative to come to the door, such a gossip caught herself, and she was so excited in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, how are you doing? I wonder why you came to visit the office out of the blue? Lin Mubai seemed to be a little helpless and put down the pen and said to the woman.

"Mu Bai, you haven't been to see ......me in the four years since you returned to Beijing from Suzhou," Sister-in-law Lin said with a look of resentment.

Scare? Zhilan's head spun back and forth between the two of them, trying to see some clues. Lin Mubai was a little embarrassed and said: "Recently, I have always been busy with business and have not been able to visit my sister-in-law, I hope you will forgive me." After that, he took Zhilan's hand and changed the topic: "This is the little girl Zhilan." Lan'er, this is your aunt. ”

Sister-in-law Lin saw that there was a little girl in the house, who was smart and smart, with a pair of big eyes flickering. I saw her staring at Zhilan's face, and only after half a voice did she say gloomily: "Sure enough, it is the daughter she gave birth to, and she will be as red and troubled as her in the future." ”

Lin Mubai said coldly: "Please be respectful when your sister-in-law speaks in front of the child." ”

Sister-in-law Lin laughed miserably when she heard this: "Can I only be your sister-in-law?" Isn't it the original Han Sumei anymore? ”

Han Sumei? There is only one word missing from Han Suqing? It's really a bloody gossip!

Lin Mubai's face was so cold that it could freeze people, and he threw out a sentence: "Sister-in-law has something to say, please come back if you have nothing to do." ”

Han Sumei was stunned for a moment, sighed lightly, and finally said with a straight face: "I did have something important to discuss with you today, about your eldest brother." With that, he pulled out a bloodstained brocade from his sleeve and presented it. Suddenly seeing the terrifying bloodstains, Zhilan's hairs suddenly stood on end.

As soon as he saw the brocade, Lin Mubai immediately understood that the matter was very important, so he said to Zhilan: "Lan'er, go out and play by yourself for a while!" Dad and aunt have something to talk about. ”

"Whoa." Zhilan promised and walked out. As soon as I got out of the study door, I slipped all the way down the wall to the window, wanting to hear some inside information. That's what the paparazzi do, aren't they.

As soon as I found a comfortable position and squatted down, I looked up and saw that my father's head was sticking out of the window, and he was looking at her with a smile. It's broken, forgetting that he has internal strength, and the wind and grass within a radius of ten zhang can't hide it from him.

Blinking her eyes, Zhilan smiled dryly, ran away with a smoke, and walked up to thirty-six plans. Alas, it's hard to be a paparazzi these days! Unless there are telescopes and bugs, and her physical chemistry is long gone.

Zhilan took Shen'er to wander aimlessly on the Liyuan path, and she was secretly figuring out Han Sumei's identity when she had something in her heart. Thinking that Shen'er had also been in the Lin Mansion for some years, he casually asked, "Is the eldest aunt also surnamed Han?" Shen'er smiled: "The people of the Han family are not surnamed Han!" Actually, she's also a young lady, your aunt! ”

"Huh?"

Shen'er scratched her head and said, "I also heard that Sister-in-law Lin is Madame's cousin, but it seems that the relationship between the two is not very good......

From a distance, Zhilan saw Mingyue and Mei Xiang's master and servant also wandering around outside the Liyuan Gate, as if they were waiting for someone. Don't think about it, you must be waiting to see Lin Mubai. Zhilan shook her head, why do these women look like infatuated people, they are really unproductive, can't they live without men?

After a while, Han Sumei walked out of the study. The maid who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time hurriedly followed her wife and walked out of the pear garden together, just in time to meet Mingyue and Mei Xiang.

Mingyue didn't know this woman, and she was not interested in getting to know her, so she glanced at the woman and walked over. Seeing that Lin Mubai didn't come out, she wanted to go in and have a look, but was stopped by Changgui. No matter what she said, Changgui just wouldn't let him go. I had no choice but to leave with Mei Xiang.

Han Sumei stood still and didn't move, turning around with some confusion and staring at the backs of Mingyue's master and servant. The maid couldn't help urging: "Madam, it's getting late, let's go quickly." ”

Han Sumei came back to her senses at this time, turned around and shook her head and said to herself: "Xu I was dazzled, I thought I saw the old man." Let's go. ”

After dinner that day, Zhilan hid in her bed tent as usual to read the book "Miao Jiang Strange Talk", and after Fu Niang, Shen'er and Qi'er cleaned up the house, they sat and chatted in the courtyard when they had nothing to do.

"Miss, what's the matter, I've been silent since I started studying, it's really worrying!" This is Fu Niang talking.

"The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, what are you worried about, haven't you heard that our young lady is a prodigy who has not met in a hundred years?" Qi'er, who has always been honest, can even say a proverb, close to Zhu Zhechi.

"That's right, today the master still praised Miss's words well! By the way, guess who's going to Liyuan to find the master today? "Shen'er has always liked to gossip.

"Who?" The other two asked in unison.

"Mrs. Lin over there in the mansion."

"What else is she coming to do? Does Madame know about this? Fu Niang said angrily.

"Who knows! There were just two of them in the study, and even the young lady was disbursed. Hey, Fu Niang, you say, is this Mrs. Lin a little bit like the master......"

"Nonsense!"

"What's going on! Fu Niang, can you tell me about it...... We don't spread the word. ”

"What's there to talk about here, it's just some gossip that I heard, and I can't take it seriously."

"You have to listen to the rumors and rumors—Fu Niang—" If you want to listen, Zhilan in the tent also whispered.

"Okay, okay......" Fu Niang seemed to be a little impatient with the two little girls, so she had to compromise, only to hear her clear her throat and tell the story: "Back then, ......"
