Chapter 25: The Scoundrel
Lin Zhenzhen entered the main house of Huanyue Xuan, and happened to hear Lu Zhu talking to Lin Qingyue about the old lady.
"Miss, you don't know, she cried and cried in front of the old lady with her two children, and also mentioned the old lady, saying that the two children are connected with the old lady's blood, and our Lin family can't see death without help."
As soon as Luzhu finished speaking, Qiu Xiang said excitedly: "Phew! Why was she embarrassed to mention the old lady? If she hadn't deceived people too much, the old lady wouldn't have been so angry with her that she became seriously ill! ”
Lin Qingyue also frowned, and disgust appeared in her eyes, "Why is she embarrassed to come to the Lin family?" Actually brought two children? This is to see that he can't please the Lin family, so he makes a fuss about the child? As he spoke, he shook his head and sneered, "After so many years, she really hasn't changed at all." ”
Lu Zhu replied: "It's a pity that the slave maid was far away at the time, and she was frightened in her heart, so she was in a hurry to come back and report this matter to the young lady, so I didn't figure out the purpose of her coming to the door this time." ”
"It doesn't matter." Lin Qingyue waved her hand with a cold expression, "It's not easy to figure out her purpose, let's go there in person." In short, she can't be given the opportunity to rely on the Lin family anymore. ”
Lin Qingyue is a gentle and docile woman, but at this moment, she rarely shows a strong and resolute attitude when dealing with this old lady.
Lin Zhenzhen saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but be more curious about this so-called old lady.
How many people and gods are angry with her, so that everyone up and down the Lin Mansion can hate her so much?
Lin Qingyue stood up, ready to take a few maids to the front hall together, and when she saw Lin Zhenzhen and Lin Baosheng still waiting there, she walked over to them, squatted down and said: "Baosheng, Gillian, you two have lunch here obediently, my mother has some things to deal with, and I will come back to accompany you in a while, okay?" ”
Lin Baosheng pouted, and just wanted to say "not good", he felt that his sleeve was being pulled, he knew that it was Lin Zhenzhen reminding him, so he changed his words when the words came to his mouth: "Okay, I'll take Gillian to wait here for my mother." ”
Lin Zhenzhen also nodded obediently, "Gillian knows." ”
Lin Qingyue smiled and touched the cheeks of the two, and ordered Qiu Xiang to stay and take care of them, and then took a few maids out of the courtyard.
As soon as she left, the two children, who had been well-behaved, immediately returned to their original appearance.
"Sister Qiuxiang, take us to the front hall." Lin Zhenzhen grabbed her hand, and her eyes sparkled.
"Huh?" Qiu Xiang was still regretting that she couldn't see the young lady defeat the old shrew with her own eyes, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come.
"My brother and I also wanted to see what the old lady wanted to do, but my mother wouldn't let us go. Sister Qiuxiang, you're the best, you secretly take me and my brother there, okay? Lin Zhenzhen took Qiu Xiang's hand and said flattering words.
Akika couldn't help but be flattered.
It turns out that her evaluation in the heart of the little lady is so high!
"Well, the slave will take you there!" She was moved and proudly agreed.
Lin Zhenzhen smiled secretly, and then glanced at Lin Baosheng, which roughly meant: Look, it is much easier to persuade Qiu Xiang than to persuade her mother!
Lin Baosheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire his sister even more.
*********
In the flower hall in the front yard of the Lin Mansion, Lin Yunchang was sitting upright on the black lacquer carved wooden chair at the top, looking at the old woman who was sitting on the ground crying with an expressionless face.
The old woman was about fifty years old, but she wore a peach-colored armor and a heavy rouge gouache on her face. When I cried, the rouge gouache fell off my face and was stuck on the face of the ravines, red, green, and green, which was very funny.
But she didn't think it was enough, and patted the marbled ground with her hands and feet, and sang loudly: "Oh, my short-lived husband! Why did you die so early? If you hadn't died early, I wouldn't have ended up here! It's so reduced that you can't even support your only grandson! When I get to the ground, what face will I have to face you! Heaven is unfair! Why did you die so early? Woo woo, my life is bitter, it's too hard! ”
After she cried and sang, she raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Yunchang, and seeing that he was still indifferent, she couldn't help crying louder, and even hugged the two ten-year-old children standing next to her, and shouted: "Brother Chen, Sister Hui, grandmother can't support you!" Your cousin is not willing to take you in, so let's starve to death together!" Grandmother is not alive! ”
"Grandmother, grandmother don't die! ......The two children were so frightened that they cried and hugged the old woman tightly.
The cries in the flower hall came and went for a while, and those who didn't know thought that the Lin family was doing some kind of funeral!
Lin Yunchang pressed his temples with a headache, he couldn't resist the urge to step forward and hit someone, and said as calmly as possible: "Uncle, don't cry anymore, the two children are scared by you." ”
That's right, this crying old woman is the uncle and old lady in the mouths of the two maids, Lin Yunchang's aunt, Dong.
"My poor two children! It's grandmother who can't stand you! Grandmother also wants you to live a good life, but grandmother's life is not good! The Dong family turned a deaf ear to Lin Yunchang's words, and still cried loudly, "Brother Chen, Sister Hui, don't resent this cousin of the Lin family, if you want to complain, you can resent your grandmother!" It's really my grandmother's life! Xianggong died at a young age, and his son did not live long, leaving only your two poor children to rely on their grandmother, and now they are turned away from asking for help from their nephews, creating evil! It's really a sin! ”
Although the Dong family kept asking the two children not to resent Lin Yunchang, they were all accusing Lin Yunchang of being cold-blooded and ruthless.
Of course, the two children understood the meaning of their grandmother's words, the girl hugged Dong tightly, crying silently, and the boy stared at Lin Yunchang resentfully, gritted his teeth and said, "Grandmother, let's go!" If they don't save them when they die, we don't have to ask of them! Chen'er will definitely find a way to feed you and your sister! ”
Lin Yunchang's chest ached faintly, and he finally understood how his father felt when he was facing the scoundrel back then.
He took a deep breath, tried to maintain the peace on his face, and continued: "Uncle, it's a bit of a strong argument when you say this, it's not that I can't save you when I see death, but you want me to adopt these two children now, the Lin family doesn't have this rule!" If you say that you are just giving you some relief, I can promise you, but now you want the Lin family to adopt them, it is really difficult for a strong man! ”
