Lin Jiaruo's painting was learned from the eldest sister Lin Jialan, Lin Jialan herself is not bad at painting, but it is not good to teach others, so Lin Jiaruo's painting skills are more average.

Fortunately, Xu Mingzhu is not very good.

So after scrapping a pile of paper, the two barely drew a satisfactory work, and happily decided to take it to Xu Yaoning for evaluation.

I searched all the way to the flower hall, and before I entered the door, I heard a noise inside.

"Either abolish him or kill him" Xu Jiaoning's fierce tone shocked Lin Jiaruo's face in an instant, and he stuffed the painting into Xu Mingzhu's arms, lifted his skirt and walked in quickly.

It was Xu Dan who saw Lin Jiaruo first, and he was obviously relieved and said, "Ah Ruo is here"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yaoning became even more angry when she saw her daughter, and rudely pulled her to her side, and asked, "Let me ask you, what's going on with that Li Yong?"

Lin Jiaruo asked rhetorically: "What Li Yong?"

Everyone was stunned.

Xu Dan said: "It's mostly Li Yong's wishful thinking, Ah Ruo is still young, there will be no such thing"

"What kind of thing" Lin Jiaruo was confused.

Xu Jiaoning couldn't calm down at all, so she had to answer Xu Dan: "Li Yong is the youngest son of the Li family in Chang'an, and he said that he took a fancy to you two months ago, and today he sent someone to say that he would accept you as a concubine" Speaking of this, Xu Dan also showed a fierce look.

Accept me as a concubine Lin Jiaruo was dumbfounded.

"Crazy," Xu Mingzhu exclaimed.

"Go get that Li Yong over now, I'll abolish him," Xu Yaoning roared angrily.

Xu Dan shuddered and said, "This is too ruthless."

"Then you go and kill him," Xu Yaoning glared at him.

"This" Xu Dan still hesitated, "Sin is not to death"

Xu Yaoning was about to get angry, but Lin Jiaruo said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Although Li Yong has seen me, he is not abrupt, let alone robbed, I don't think it is too offensive."

"What's more, the last time I went back to the Li family, I also thoughtfully visited the door in person, and estimated our family's family background, so I cautiously came to the door to propose, although they underestimated us, but we also hid it ourselves, and we can't blame others."

Xu Yaoning said angrily: "They humiliate you like this, and you still defend them"

Lin Jiaruo really felt that it was okay: "I don't think they humiliated me, it's just that they don't know the truth, we refused, and that's it." ”

Xu Yaoning was so angry with her that she couldn't speak.

Xu Dan was amazed: "Ah Ruo is worthy of being a princess, look at this measure"

Xu Yaoning said angrily: "Are you sarcastic about my stinginess?"

Xu Danlian said "I don't dare".

At this time, a report came from outside, Yan Huai came.

Xu Jiaoning was in need of an object of anger, so he picked up a teacup and smashed it towards the door.

Yan Huai grabbed the teacup and looked stunned and innocent.

After a month of unremitting efforts, he was finally able to travel unhindered in Banhong Villa, but overnight, he gave up all his efforts

After listening to Xu Dan finish what happened, Yan Huai took the case and roared: "On the contrary, they dare to fight Ah Ruo's idea, I will let Chang'an Mansion do it again when I go back today."

Lin Jiaruo:

Seeing that Xu Jiaoning's face was a little pale, Yan Huai knew that he had said the right thing, and hurriedly continued to follow: "Your mother and daughter live alone like this, it is indeed easy to attract right and wrong, and Ah Ruo is so good, it is inevitable that there will be madmen who don't know what to do, it is better to live with me in the palace, and no one will dare to mess with you again."

Xu Haoning seemed to be a little hesitant.

Lin Jiaruo sneered when he saw this, and said: "Whether I go back to Zhoudu or Yuhang, as long as I am in the territory of Dazhou, no one dares to provoke me, could it be that I came to Chang'an to get rid of my father's protection and turn my head to seek your refuge."

Yan Huai said: "I didn't mean that"

Xu Yaoning was also a little embarrassed.

Lin Jiaruo snorted lightly and said: "This matter is not complicated originally, the Li family is just a serious door-to-door court, we have already expressed our attitude when we drive people out, and this matter is over."

His eyes swept sharply over the three adults in front of him, and he warned in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to secretly retaliate against the Li family."

Xu Dan was the first to smile: "Obey, Your Royal Highness the Princess"

Yan Huai also nodded, only Xu Yaoning had a gloomy face.

"Mother" Lin Jiaruo said as she stared at her seriously.

Xu Yaoning was also very backbone, snorted, and walked away.

Yan Huai was about to catch up, but was stopped by Lin Jiaruo.

"My mother's anger in her heart can't be dissipated for a while, and the earth guards and wood guards don't listen to me, right now, if only someone could keep an eye on her." Lin Jiaruo looked at him meaningfully.

Yan Huai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely stare at her inch by inch" After speaking, he chased her out excitedly.

"You are serious about matching your mother and Yan Huai" Xu Dan asked in surprise, I have never seen any child so active in finding a stepfather for himself

Lin Jiaruo took their paintings from Xu Mingzhu's hand, and said while looking at them: "My mother is too angry, and she has to shout and kill for such a thing, if Yan Huai can appease her, it doesn't matter if she has multiple stepfathers." ”

"What if you can't" Xu Mingzhu asked worriedly, the little aunt was really scary just now.

"Then I'll look at her for the rest of my life," Lin Jiaruo lowered her head and said in a light tone.

If she can't let go of the shadow of her previous life, let her, the bell tie person, stay with her all the time, live in Chang'an, or accompany her back to Jiangnan, and accompany her to any place that can make her feel safe.

Xu Dan shook his head disappreciatively and stretched out his head to look at the painting in her hand.

Before she could see it clearly, she put it away and said to Xu Mingzhu: "I forgot to ask my mother to look at the painting just now, let's go over now" If you are angry, you should finish sending it to Yan Huai

Yan Huai's explanation to Lin Jiaruo was very thorough, and even asked people to move the official document to Banhong Villa and live directly.

For three days, the wind was calm, but on the fourth day when Yan Huai left, the Li family sent someone to the door again.

This time, it was Xu Dan who took it upon himself to beat people up and then threw them out.

"The Li family has a kind, then take it and we will see you directly in Xingle Palace," Xu Dan stood at the door and sneered.

Inside the house, Xu Jiaoning was laughing at her daughter with confidence: "The Li family is right, the Li family is serious, you are a big adult, and you are compassionate, and now people are serious about taking your land."

Lin Jiaruo smiled helplessly: "Mother, what kind of people they are, it has nothing to do with what you do, you just killed Li Yong, and it can't solve the problem, it will only cause a stronger counterattack from the Li family."

Xu Yaoning looked at her disdainfully: "Then you say, how can we solve the problem?"

Lin Jiaruo said: "If Governor Li is bullying, he will sue Xingle Palace"

Xingle Palace used to be the palace of the Xiao family in Chang'an, and now it is the father and son of the Yan family.

"Didn't you say you didn't want Yan Huai's protection," Xu Haoning asked in surprise.

Lin Jiaruo smiled slightly: "How is this the same, the Li family bullies the people with officials, and it should have been the master of Xingle Palace, it is his duty"
