Chapter Eighty-Four: Hypocrisy
If it weren't for the fact that he had already learned that the rumors about Lin Jiuniang were released by Bai Xiuyang, Lin Zhilan almost really thought that Bai Xiuyang was interested in Lin Jiuniang.
He had a chill down his spine, a smirk involuntarily appeared on his face, and he said politely and detachedly: "Thank you Shizi for your care, the ninth sister is fine, let Shizi bother." ”
Bai Xiuyang lowered his head and said softly: "Please also ask Young Master Lin to bring a message to Miss Nine, the rumors outside are not credible." I don't believe the rumors about her, and I ask her to believe that I am not the disciple of the outside world. The most important thing between husband and wife is trust, and although we are only engaged, I have regarded her as my future wife, and I ask her to understand my heart. ”
Lin Zhilan couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Obviously he is only a fourteen-year-old boy, but he can tell a lie so high-sounding!
I have been in the shopping mall for many years, and I have attended a lot of large and small scenes, and I have seen all kinds of people, but there are really few people like Bai Xiuyang who are gentle and polite on the surface, but dirty inside.
For a moment, he regretted a little, regretting that he had engaged Jiuniang for this marriage; For a moment, he was a little lucky, fortunately, Jiuniang had not yet passed the door, and had not officially stepped into this mud pit, and everything was still in time to be remedied.
This marriage must be withdrawn, it must be withdrawn!
As for whether the 150,000 taels of silver can be taken back or not, it doesn't matter anymore.
If you can't get it back, you have to get it back!
Bai Xiuyang said this sincerely, originally thinking that Lin Zhilan would have to react even if he didn't move immediately, but he waited for a moment, and then looked up at Lin Zhilan, but only saw indifference and stiffness on Lin Zhilan's face.
What's going on?
Bai Xiuyang's mind spun rapidly.
Could it be that the rumors about himself were really released by the Lin family?
Could it be that the Lin family already knew that the rumors about Lin Jiuniang were released by themselves?
Bai Xiuyang couldn't help but regret it a little.
Because of the tight finances of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Bai Xiuyang has only had two personal servants, two maids and a grandmother since he was a child, and in his vision, to do great things, there must be a group of dead soldiers who are loyal to him.
So, when he received the five thousand taels of silver from his father, the first thing he did was to buy a small courtyard and recruit a group of young men as his men.
These men come from families of extreme poverty, have no longevity and no skills, and they are willing to do anything for themselves, so to speak, for the sake of money.
However, after all, they are not educated, and they lack unified management, and they are likely to leave flaws in their actions.
You shouldn't be so anxious, you should train them for a period of time before putting them into use.
Although he regretted it in his heart, Bai Xiuyang's face was still light.
"My mother is the county lord and grew up in the capital since she was a child, so she naturally has a very deep view of the door, but the Hou Mansion is still in charge of my house in the end, and I also ask Young Master Lin to relax, in the future, I will not treat Sister Ling badly."
Lin Zhilan smiled slightly, and replied with a needle hidden in his heart: "How the prince will treat her sister in the future, I naturally know in my heart." ”
Bai Xiuyang's smile froze, and he also replied: "If Young Master Lin knows, it is naturally the best." ”
......
Lin Zhilan returned to the Lin family, held his breath, and went straight to Yixin Courtyard to find Lin Jiuniang.
As soon as I entered Yixin Hospital, I bumped into Han Yingniang head-on.
Because Han Yingniang is not on an errand in Yixin Courtyard, she stays in her room most of the time, so this is the first time Lin Zhilan has met Han Yingniang seriously.
Lin Zhilan was stunned, and the little maid Tao'er on the side smiled and said, "Young Master, this is Mama Han's daughter, Han Yingniang." ”
Han Yingniang half-hung her head and gave Lin Zhilan a gentle salute: "Yingniang has seen the eldest young master. ”
Lin Zhilan said "oh" and said politely: "Miss Yingniang, don't be too restrained in Yixin Courtyard, just treat this place as your home." Then he went into the study without looking back.
Han Yingniang was a little surprised, looked back at Lin Zhilan's back in a daze, and involuntarily bit her lower lip.
From childhood to adulthood, as long as the men who have seen her have been amazed by her beauty.
The dignified and old ones will only stare at her face, sneer and praise a few words, "The little girl is really smart." Something like that.
The and frivolous ones will laugh at her indiscriminately, and even take the opportunity to pat her on the shoulder, touch her hair, and do something that makes her feel disgusting.
But Lin Zhilan's eyes when he looked at her were no different from looking at Tao'er, calm, even with a hint of indifference, as if she was a vulgar fan, and she couldn't arouse his interest at all.
When Jiang Xuan came to Yixin Courtyard before, Han Yingniang had secretly looked at Jiang Xuan's appearance.
Jiang Xuan can only be regarded as a middle-aged person at best, although she has the blessing of fat powder and jewelry, she can only be said to be an ordinary woman, and there are no bright spots in her appearance.
Han Yingniang compared herself with Jiang Xuan in her heart, and was suddenly full of confidence.
Although the outside world is saying that Lin Zhilan is clean and self-conscious, and there is only one woman from beginning to end, his wife Jiang Xuan, Han Yingniang does not believe it.
It is said that Lin Zhilan is also a normal man, how can he be satisfied with only Jiang Xuan, a wife who is so normal that she can't be ordinary anymore?
It's just that he's good at disguise and hasn't been noticed.
Han Yingniang slowly put away her frustration, and when she turned her head, she saw the expression on Tao'er's face that seemed to be smiling, and her mood suddenly became low again.
Tao'er smiled and said, "Sister Yingniang, is the eldest young master very handsome?" I think you're stunned! ”
Han Yingniang sneered and said: "Nonsense, the eldest young master is the master, we are the servants, how can we talk about the master like this?" ”
Tao'er has always been unaccustomed to Han Yingniang's delicate appearance, although Miss Nine didn't let her be an errand, but she should also be a little conscious, she sleeps until three o'clock in the morning every day, and three meals a day are brought to her room by the little maid, which is simply treating herself as half a master - something!
Tao'er was about to open her mouth and say a few more harsh words, but she heard a quarrel in the study.
"Lin Jiuniang, don't be ignorant! If it weren't for you, how could I have suffered such a great shame in the Hou Mansion! ”
"Lin Zhilan, can you figure it out! I didn't let you go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong! You don't have to! ”
"I'm not going? I don't want you if I don't go to the Hou Mansion, do you know! ”
"If you don't want it, you don't want it, I don't have to go!"
"Smack!"
The last sound, it seems, was a crisp slap.
Tao'er thought that something was wrong with her ears and froze in place.
Could it be that the eldest young master beat Miss Nine?
How is this possible?
