Chapter 3: Remembering the Dead
She didn't think she could interfere in the affairs of the royal family, so since she knew something destined early in this life, she must have hid far away. I just hate that I didn't go out to understand the world in my previous life, but I'm a little glad I didn't know too much.
Lin Qingyu handled the business in and outside the Gu Hou Mansion, and grinded out a good way to look at people's faces. Her mother was originally from the north, and she also had an inextricable relationship with the north, which was not a small work, but she had been working for the north in the past few years for the north that was incompatible with the south, and a woman held the north and south business channels in her hands. In the end, he gave up everything, but he didn't get any good results.
But now that she wants to take her mother to gain a foothold in this world, it is not difficult.
Lin Qingyu sighed, suddenly felt that she had no appetite, put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up: "Father, I'm a little uncomfortable, you can eat slowly."
Old Madam Xue snorted coldly, looked at Lin Qingyu, and couldn't wait to poke her out of a hole with her gaze. She was originally the wife of Master Lin, and after making a fortune, Master Lin had three wives and four concubines, and she disliked her for being vulgar, so she resented those delicate and weak women the most, probably because she was afraid that her son would forget himself when he had a wife and daughter, so he didn't like these fox-like daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
"Ah Yan, don't mess around." Lin Qiwen frowned, looked at Old Madam Xue's face comparable to the bottom of the pot, her face couldn't hold back, and her tone was a little stern: "Why don't you apologize to grandma, you don't remember the poetry and book etiquette I taught you on weekdays?"
Lin Suyao, who was sitting under Lin Qingyu, lowered her head, with a gloating expression on her face, Lin Qingyu and they were both concubines, but the treatment was completely different, they learned to be popular every day, even if they invited their master to teach them, they also coped with things. But Lin Qingyu never needs to be a girl, nor does she have to ask for peace everywhere, she does those tedious things to look at people's faces, and Lin Qiwen personally teaches poetry and books every day - it makes people jealous.
"I don't think I've done anything wrong." Lin Qingyu pursed her lips and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, seeing that her father was so angry because she contradicted Mrs. Xue for a few words, but she turned a blind eye to Mrs. Xue's punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall at every turn, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
Besides, what Lin Qiwen taught her, people have to be self-reflective when they slap me? It really made her laugh. In the past, she believed in the truth of Lynch's teachings, but now that she has been crawling all the way, she will only return it to those who hurt her a thousand times!
Lin Qingyu stood up and looked around at the people at the dinner table, her good sisters had different looks, most of them were cold-eyed and ridiculed.
In their eyes, Lin Qingyu, a brainless concubine, can be favored by Lin Qiwen, and she has long gritted her teeth with a heart higher than the sky, although she often makes Lin Qingyu feel bad, but it is also difficult to understand the jealousy in her heart.
At this moment, the slender girl beside her stood up and carefully pulled Lin Qingyu's sleeve, very worried: "Sister, don't make the old lady angry, I know that your father was angry that the third lady was not severely punished for giving you anger, but after all, there is a difference between the concubines, and now the third miss's cousin has been favored by the emperor and canonized as a concubine...... You can't just care about your own joys and angers, you have to think about the Lin family. β
Lin Qingyu stared at the hand pulling her sleeve, hooked the corners of her mouth, and moved her gaze to the person's face, with slender willow eyebrows, a pair of moist and moving eyes, wearing a light blue dress Thin and simple but lovable. is still so pitiful, but it's a pity that she didn't recognize the face of this "good sister" in her previous life.
"Su Yao understands the truth, but you, who are a sister, don't understand." Lin Qiwen's tone contained a deep sense of helplessness, he loved Lin Qingyu the most on weekdays, but at the moment he was a little disappointed: "It seems that I pampered you too much."
"You only know that you pampered her? She's just relying on your pet to be lawless...... Her mother is also generally shameless. Old Madam Xue sneered, and took over the conversation with a crackle: "If you don't eat, don't eat, my Lin Family Temple can't accommodate you as a Bodhisattva, don't come to the hall in the future, it's very eye-catching."
Lin Qingyu was not annoyed when she listened to them, she was always an insignificant person to her. She is a housekeeper and housewife in the high-ranking Qihu of Guhou Mansion, and she is still comfortable dealing with those jackals, tigers and leopards, and the rich people who are respected by everyone in the rich field still have to respectfully call her "Sixth Miss", how can she take these women, children and old people of the Lin family in their eyes again?
"Then thank you, old lady." Lin Qingyu brushed Lin Suyao's hand away with a smile, and when she passed by, she paused slightly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I'm the one who ...... I don't like to be a stepping stone for others. β
Lin Suyao was stunned for a moment, not understanding that Lin Qingyu suddenly figured it out, and only thought that Aunt Su had reminded her. Nuo replied: "My sister misunderstood me, my sister is all for your good." Aunt Su doesn't like me, does my sister also believe in the thin words? β
But before she finished speaking, Lin Qingyu had already strode out of the hall, ignoring the salutes of the subordinates along the way, striding through the screen and entering the backyard, and sure enough, she saw Su Liyun pacing worriedly at the door of the weeping flowers in the pear flower courtyard.
"Mother." Lin Qingyu's nose was sour, and her eyes were covered with water vapor, and at this time, all the etiquette she learned when she was Mrs. Hou was forgotten. Carrying the hem of his skirt, he ran over, and crashed into Su Liyun's arms regardless of it. How can someone who has lost stand alive in front of him, how can he be calm?
"Ah Yan, what grievances have you suffered? Or are you scared because of what happened last night? Su Liyun was a little flustered, but more distressed and worried, carefully touched Lin Qingyu's head, and comforted softly: "Ah Yan, don't be afraid, if you have a mother here, even if you fight for your life, you won't let others hurt you again."
She married into the Lin family first, also because Lin Qiwen promised her the position of wife, who knew that as soon as Zhao Yan got married, Mrs. Xue forced her to give way. Lin Qingyu was supposed to be a concubine, but now she is ...... Su Liyun only hated that she didn't take Lin Qingyu away back then.
This Lin family is not a good person, and she has also said many things to Lin Qingyu to beware of, but Lin Qingyu felt that she was thinking too much, and there was a gap between mother and daughter unconsciously. It's been a long time since the mother and daughter are so intimate.
"Mother, I miss you so much." Lin Qingyu hugged Su Liyun's waist tightly, sniffing the faint fragrance on her body and feeling that all the grievances were emerging, crying like a cat: "I thought that they would always have to take care of you with my identity, but I didn't expect ...... Mother, I'm sorry for you. β
Thanks to Lin Qingyu's obscurity, otherwise Su Liyun would have been afraid that she would have fallen into evil. How would she know that Lin Qingyu was already a person who had died once, and she only thought that Lin Qingyu blamed herself for knowing that her wife punished her.
Su Liyun patted Lin Qingyu's back, pushed her away and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and her eyes were red: "Don't blame Ah Yan, it's my mother's fault, my mother didn't protect you well, and let you be wronged."
Lin Qingyu bit her lower lip and stared at the woman with clear and picturesque eyebrows, for fear that she would disappear in a blink of an eye.
"Stay away from my sister and aunts in the future...... They, they're not as good as you think. Su Liyun thought about it, for fear of upsetting Lin Qingyu, and didn't want her daughter to be played by others as a monkey again.
It's not a good thing to be too naΓ―ve in this kind of mansion, their mother and daughter have never done anything to be sorry for others, but they have stumbled a lot, if they don't find it in time this time, they are only afraid of ...... Su Liyun's heart ached, and she hated the Lin family more and more.
"I know they're not good people." Lin Qingyu remembered Lin Suyao, who had almost ruined herself in her previous life, and a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes.
She is the best with Lin Suyao among the many sisters, and she feels that her mother is pitiful to lose her alone in childbirth, so she usually lets her do everything and misses her, but she doesn't want to raise a white-eyed wolf.
Lin Suyao always looks weak, but she "thinks about her" everywhere, provokes the relationship between her and Su Liyun's mother and daughter, and makes Lin Qiwen completely tired of herself......
If it weren't for Lin Suyao and Lin Shiyu framing her at the Peach Blossom Banquet and ruining her reputation, it wouldn't be so difficult for her to marry into the Guhou Mansion.
It's a pity that when she reacted, Lin Suyao had already relied on good means to get married to the powerful King of Dinghai and became a favorite concubine. kept putting pressure on her, and she had a very difficult time in the Lin family that year, and it wasn't until she became a pawn in the Northern Marquis Mansion that she had a little time to breathe a sigh of relief......
"You know?" Su Liyun asked in disbelief, she knew that she had said this countless times, but she was interrupted impatiently by Lin Qingyu before she returned.
"My father used to let me read those books, and I always thought that human nature was good, but now I understand." Lin Qingyu nodded and took Su Liyun's hand, and choked in a low voice: "It's me who is stupid, I always believe that outsiders make my mother sad, and I will never do it again."
"If you can figure it out, you can rest assured." Su Liyun sighed, reached out and stroked the broken hair on Lin Qingyu's forehead, feeling a little emotional. Why doesn't she want her daughter to grow up simply? But I hope she can be safe.
The moonlight was beautiful, the wind was gentle, and the grass pond not far away was the croaking of frogs. The fragrance of pear blossoms sneaks into the room with the wind and settles the dream.
After the lights went out at night, Lin Qingyu couldn't sleep, staring at the moonlight flowing in from the window. In the previous life, she was cautious but did not die well, and in the first life, she had already looked at those things on the side very lightly, only focusing on her own thoughts, and simply lived happily.
She felt tired and wanted to take her mother away from the dispute desperately, but this was absolutely impossible. And those who hurt her, she can't watch them get better. Speaking of which, it will be a peach blossom banquet in a few days, and this time she will not let Lin Suyao succeed, but also let her suffer the consequences...... As for Lin Shiyu, there are too many grievances, big and small, and it is not clear for a while, and Lin Shiyu still has an enviable opportunity, but unfortunately this time it is her Lin Qingyu.
She wants to be a bad person in this life, and only a bad person can everyone be afraid and live a better life.
