The turmoil in the Qingxin Hall was somewhat inexplicably temporarily calmed down.

Aunt Feng took Lin Zhiyu out of the Qingxin Hall silently and walked to no one's place, and then she smiled sincerely.

If something like this happens, I'm afraid that the eldest lady won't have the face to ask for raising Lin Zhiyu under her knees for a while.

She straightened up easily, and just wanted to take a step, but saw several figures flash not far away.

Lin Zhiyu was young, but his eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the figure and said, "Auntie, there are people!" ”

Aunt Feng was also startled, and took a few steps back with Lin Zhiyu in her arms, but when she looked not far away, she couldn't see anything anymore.

The maid beside her hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I look like a young grandmother." ”

Only then did Aunt Feng put her mind at ease, covered her chest and said, "In broad daylight, it almost scared me to death......"

The maid smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid, I think it's the young grandmother, and there are a few maids around." ”

Aunt Feng was a little puzzled: "Why is the young grandmother here?" The eldest young master is still in Qingxin Hall. ”

The maid said: "Maybe the eldest young master and the old lady have something to say alone." ”

Aunt Feng didn't think much about it, took Lin Zhiyu with a smile and walked towards the residence.

......

After everyone retreated, Lin Zhilan walked up to Mrs. Lin in a few steps, knelt down and said: "Grandson is not filial, grandson doesn't understand, this matter is obviously the eldest lady maliciously framed the ninth sister, and deliberately picked the grandmother's birthday banquet to make a big fuss, why did the grandmother downplay it, isn't it too unfair to the ninth sister?" ”

"Zhilan." Mrs. Lin said gently, "You tell me to be fair? How did Lin Jiuniang get engaged to the prince of Zhongyong Hou? It's not because you spent 150,000 taels of silver for nothing! Are you doing this fair to other Lin family daughters? ”

Lin Zhilan hesitated, but still said, "But...... The Lin family owes the ninth sister ......"

"Confused!" Mrs. Lin slammed the table and said, "The maid is waiting, eating big fish and meat, and wearing silk and satin - where does the Lin family owe her?" ”

"The Lin family owes her a mother and a clean background!" Lin Zhilan mustered up his courage and said loudly, "I can't give Ninth Sister a mother, I can only find a way to give her an identity, the identity of the Lady of the Loyal and Yong Hou Shizi!" ”

"Big mistake!" Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Zhilan with an excited face indifferently, "What owes her is her biological mother, the shameless woman!" From start to finish, what are you doing wrong? Zhilan, I can ignore the fact that you took more care of her before, but from today onwards, you can't be unscrupulously partial to her! ”

Lin Zhilan endured it again and again, but couldn't help but say: "Grandmother, this matter is obviously wrong with the eldest wife, why would you make such a request to me?" Shouldn't I compensate her for this? ”

"Why can't you see it through?" Mrs. Lin slowly sat back in her chair and said softly, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; Walk above men, and the crowd will not. - Don't you understand such a simple truth? ”

Lin Zhilan only felt a basin of cold water poured down from his head, and it was cold to his heels all of a sudden.

"The more you treat Jiu Yatou, the more others will be jealous of her and the more they want to take advantage of her. Those with low rank will slander her, and those with high rank will use her to gain benefits. Therefore, the more you treat her, the more you hurt her. Old Lady Lin sighed and said, "I didn't care about it before, because I understood your personality. Your father and uncle can't handle things, so you have been the pillar of the Lin family since you were a child, acting decisively and resolutely. At best, you are strong-willed, and at worst, you are all the way to the dark. If I don't show up today, what can you do with your father and stepmother? Even if there is a strict testimony, if they bite the bullet and refuse to admit it, you can only be helpless, can you take them to the government and make them confess? By that time, it was not the Lin family who had lost face? ”

"But ......"

"Don't." Mrs. Lin motioned to Mama Qin to help Lin Zhilan up, "Fortunately, the nine girls are quite interesting, and they didn't say a word from beginning to end, it seems that she has made great progress." ”

Lin Zhilan felt a little comforted in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Ninth sister, she ...... It's true that a lot has changed. ”

"It's good to change it." Old Mrs. Lin held her forehead tiredly, "In my opinion, you might as well persuade her to give up her marriage contract with the prince of Zhongyong Hou and choose another son-in-law!" ”

Although Lin Zhilan had already repented of letting Lin Jiuniang get engaged to the prince of Zhongyong Hou, he was still taken aback when he suddenly heard Mrs. Lin propose this, and subconsciously retorted: "Why? Jiuniang didn't do anything wrong, it was all malicious speculation about her by the outside world......"

"Then why doesn't the outside world speculate about others, but about her?" Old Mrs. Lin said lightly, "Zhilan, you are also an understanding person, and if you force her into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that you will not have a good life!" ”

"......"

"I know, you still care about the 150,000 taels of silver." Old Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "I also mentioned to you that the final decision is still up to you." ”

Lin Zhilan only felt his temples throb suddenly, and the pain slowly crept up the back of his head like a branch.

"If you still want to marry the Marquis of Zhongyong, I think it's better to change your choice." Old Madam Lin turned around and said, "However, it can't be a big house." ”

Lin Zhilan didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I won't say more, if you have anything else, go back first." Old Lady Lin said kindly, "Zhilan, don't let the Nine Girls become your weakness. Otherwise, you will not have a good life in the future. ”

Old Mrs. Lin's words hit Lin Zhilan's brain like a slap on the back.

He walked out of the Qingxin Hall in a bit of a daze.

Mama Qin looked a little unbearable, and whispered to Mrs. Lin: "No matter what you say today, Miss Nine has been wronged, so you have to appease her." ”

"If she was sensible, she should know that the humiliation she suffered today was brought about by her previous willfulness." Old Lady Lin's expression was gloomy, "I want to see if she can calm down like this." ”

"How can you say that it's a nine-year-old girl...... Mama Qin muttered, but Old Lady Lin pretended not to hear, got up and said, "Okay, I'll go and recite the scriptures for a while, you can step back first." ”

Mama Qin answered, and was about to retreat, when she heard Mrs. Lin ask, "Do you think it's better to return this family affair of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion or not to retreat?" ”

Mama Qin was stunned in place, and after a long while, she said, "This ...... In my opinion, it's not good to retreat, and it's not good not to retreat. ”

"Not really." Old Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "Take a hair and move the whole body, and now the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has not moved, and we are not good at making claims-we can only see the move." ”

Mama Qin said with some distress: "You are also so old, you still have to worry about these things for juniors." In my opinion, it's better to let go and let the eldest young master decide, the eldest young master still understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into account. ”

"I'm still young after all." Old Mrs. Lin let out a long sigh and didn't speak again.
