Chapter 11: Beware of Temptation

Early the next morning, Lin Jiuniang took Mama Han and the four big maids out of the Yixin Courtyard and got into the carriage prepared by Steward Lin.

Lin Jiuniang and Mama Han have a carriage, four big girls have a carriage, and there are eight family members and two grooms.

Mama Han just wanted to give the order to go, but Lin Jiuniang stopped and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Both the groom and the housekeeper replied, "Miss Nine, we have all used it." ”

Lin Jiuniang glanced at Suo Chun, Suo Chun took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them over, and said, "Today's journey is hard, how can you withstand just eating porridge and steamed buns?" Miss Nine invites you to go to the Qingchun Building outside for breakfast. ”

The groom and the family were flattered, but they hesitated to take the money, not knowing whether they could go.

Steward Lin, who was standing on the side, nodded slightly and said, "Since Miss Nine rewarded you, you should go quickly." ”

The groom and the family went out of the courtyard happily.

Lin Jiuniang saw Steward Lin standing aside, so she said politely: "Steward Lin, you are also busy with yours, I'll just take a nap in the carriage." ”

Steward Lin just wanted to agree, but remembered Lin Zhilan's instructions before leaving, so he said, "Don't be busy, Miss Nine, I'll accompany you here." ”

Lin Jiuniang didn't care about him anymore, looked around, and pretended to be unintentional and said: "The road is far away, it would be bad if the carriage went wrong halfway, anyway, it would be idle to be idle, in winter, you check the wheels of the carriage." ”

Falling Winter was a little inexplicable, but he still carefully checked the wheels of the carriage one by one as instructed.

Mama Han looked at Lin Jiuniang, and only felt that the smile on the face of the little girl in front of her seemed to have a deep meaning. Lin Jiuniang swept Mama Han's somewhat confused expression with her afterglow, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, except for herself, who would know that such a thing had happened in her previous life......

In his previous life, the eldest brother also arranged for himself to take a carriage to worship his mother, and on the way back, the coachman suggested that the scenery of the path be more beautiful, so he agreed to take the path. The trail didn't go far, but the wheels of the carriage broke.

The weather is windless and rainy, the road is smooth and unobstructed, and the carriage I am riding in is new, how can the wheels be broken for no reason? And one bad is two?

Fortunately, Mama Han made a quick decision at that time and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the road no matter what. Later, when it was getting late, Lin Zhilan felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to rush over to find Lin Jiuniang, which was the solution to her siege.

But when she returned to the city, she missed the hour again, the city gate was closed, and in desperation, Lin Jiuniang had to spend the night in the carriage with the maids.

When she returned to Lin's house the next day, Lin Jiuniang felt that everyone's eyes were a little strange when they looked at her.

At that time, she was still young and did not understand the importance of the reputation of a boudoir woman, but the strange eyes of others still pierced her heart deeply. Young and ignorant, she sprinkled all the fire on Mama Han's body, which directly caused Mama Han to leave Yixin Courtyard and defect to Lin Siniang.

"Ouch, Miss Nine, there's really something wrong with the wheels of this carriage." Luodong stood up and said, "Look, there are cracks in this wheel, and it is estimated that it will crack if you can't go far." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the other carriage, which coincidentally had cracks in its wheels.

Lin Jiuniang didn't speak, just looked at Steward Lin quietly.

Steward Lin's expression was a little embarrassed, and he coughed twice: "I'm sorry Miss Nine, I forgot to ask them to check it." Fortunately, it's still early, so I'll arrange it right away. ”

Mama Han smiled and said, "Steward Lin, looking at your age and experience, you shouldn't make such a mistake, right?" ”

Luo Dong also said angrily: "That's right, Steward Lin, if this car really breaks down halfway, what if Miss Nine has an accident because of this?" Can you afford it? Wait for the eldest young master to come back, and see what you say to the eldest young master! ”

Steward Lin had cold sweat on his forehead, and he arched his hand again and again: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, there have been too many things in the house recently, and I'm also negligent for a while - when the eldest young master comes back, I will definitely confess to the eldest young master." ”

"Forget it." Lin Jiuniang said lightly, "No one is perfect, who in the world has not made a mistake?" If I want to make a mistake, I have made a lot of mistakes before, and Steward Lin didn't bother with me. Steward Lin, don't take this matter to heart, I know you are an unintentional mistake - you are not allowed to reveal half a word to the eldest brother, otherwise, I will not be able to spare you. ”

Steward Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly retreated, and it didn't take long for a family member to come over and change two brand-new carriages.

It just so happened that the groom and the family who had breakfast also came back at this time, and Lin Jiuniang and his party set off.

Steward Lin stood at the door of the Lin family's mansion, watching the carriage gradually disappear at the end of the road, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

As soon as she got on the road, Mama Han asked in a low voice: "The matter of the carriage is not simple, I am afraid that someone did it on purpose, why didn't Miss Nine let Steward Lin investigate thoroughly?" ”

Lin Jiuniang shook her head and said, "Check, it's just to find out a substitute ghost - there's no point." ”

Mama Han frowned and said, "But you can't just let this matter pass by, Miss Nine, what if they make another move?" ”

The corners of Lin Jiuniang's mouth curled, and she smiled playfully: "That's the best, I'm afraid they won't make a move!" ”

Mama Han was stunned, and didn't understand the meaning of Lin Jiuniang's words.

"Alright, Mama, don't think about it. Tonight, I will go to Steward Lin and ask him to send someone to bring Sister Yingniang to Yixin Courtyard. Lin Jiuniang lifted the curtain, looked out, and said, "It's good to come out, you can smell the fresh air, unlike in the Lin family's mansion, which is lifeless all day long, except for eating and sleeping, it is farting and shitting." ”

Mama Han smiled dumbly and said, "Miss Nine, such vulgar words are not what your daughter should say." ”

"A daughter's body?" Lin Jiuniang smiled mockingly, "Mama Han, it's impossible for you not to know my origin, as the daughter of a Qing people, where am I worthy of the word 'daughter of a daughter'?" Even if you pretend to be a beautiful girl, it's just pretending. Even if I can really marry into the Hou Mansion and become the wife of the prince, or even become the wife of Hou in the future, my background will be a stain that I can't get rid of. ”

There was silence in the carriage.

Mama Han lowered her head and was silent for a while before she spoke: "Does Miss Nine know that I came out of the mansion of the fourth brother of the current emperor, the true king of Yuhua?" ”

Lin Jiuniang nodded and said, "Naturally, I know." ”

"In Miss Nine's opinion, is the true king of Yuhua from the royal family, is it extremely noble?"

Lin Jiuniang said without thinking: "That's nature. ”

"But Miss Nine doesn't know that although the true king of Yuhua is noble, he was born to a palace maid, and he has also suffered from neglect and white eyes in the palace." Mama Han lowered her voice and said, "King Yuhua Zhen never met the emperor before he became an adult, and his biological mother did not receive favor because of his birth, and he died of illness when he was ten years old. It was not until the death of the emperor twelve years ago that the crown prince ascended the throne, and he was given the title of the true king and allowed him to leave the palace to open the palace. Mama Han sighed and said, "Although I have served in the palace of the true king of Yuhua, in fact, I am just a rough mother-in-law, and I have never seen the true king with my own eyes. However, the true king was merciful and lenient, and all the people in the palace were grateful for his kindness, and no one ever mentioned his origin and derogated him in the slightest. ”

Lin Jiuniang couldn't help asking, "Then why did you leave the Yuhua True Palace?" ”

Mama Han let out a long sigh and said, "The true king of Yuhua has been weak since he was a child, and he has been even more seriously ill in recent years. After all, the capital was noisy and there were many mundane things, so the emperor was kind enough to build a courtyard for him in another place, and King Yuhua moved to another courtyard to recuperate. The original Yuhua Zhenwang Mansion only left a dozen subordinates to sweep the courtyard. Before going to the other courtyard, the king of Yuhua Zhen specially offered grace, if there is a subordinate who wants to leave the house, although he goes out of the house, not only return the deed of sale, but also give fifty taels of silver. My man left early, and there was no one to rely on to stay in the capital, so it was better to take my daughter back to my hometown, and the neighbors in the township could help me. ”
