Everyone who still had opinions about Lin Yao just now widened their eyes, it seemed that although she was not in her own family, she was not bad in Kyoto.

"Yao'er has a heart."

Old Madam Lin finally showed a few smiles on her face, probably because she felt that what she was asking for was more certain.

Lin Yao didn't seem to see the little abacus in their hearts, and pulled Mu Xi to sit in their place.

Old Madam Lin hurriedly said, "Yao'er sit in front and let grandmother take a good look at you." ”

Lin Yao's position was arranged by Mrs. Lin, and with her resentment towards Lin Yao, it was naturally impossible to be in the front position.

An old lady spoke, Lin Yao pulled Mu Xi and walked forward, Lin Man grabbed his mouth dissatisfiedly:

"Grandmother, it's okay for my sister to be your own granddaughter sitting in the front, but it seems that this girl shouldn't sit here, right?"

"Grandmother, Xiaoxi is my very good sister, and I want her to accompany me."

Lin Yao held Mu Xi's hand tightly, although the old lady didn't like it, she still said helplessly:

"Since it's your good sister, then you can entertain well."

"Yes."

Lin Yao and Mu Xi sat down side by side, welcoming the eyes of many ladies and ladies, Mu Xi didn't care, and calmly talked with Lin Yao.

Lin Yao explained to Mu Xi in a low voice: "My father has always been good at managing contacts, and there are many people invited to my grandmother's birthday banquet, and all the famous people in the city are here. ”

"It seems that your father is indeed going to get connections."

Mu Xi nodded slightly, and heard the discussion of the ladies and girls not far away, Lin Yao had been away for a long time.

Many people thought that the eldest girl in Lin Mansion was Lin Man, but they didn't expect that the other party was an impostor.

Mu Xi smiled: "As soon as you come back, Lin Man is like a copycat, and he estimates what he will suffer today." ”

"That's also her own doing, although I'm not in Fucheng, but my uncle has helped me inquire about the Lin Mansion.

Do they really think that I can do it without me? I'm just too lazy to waste time on them. ”

It was also because she was too disappointed in her father that she didn't want to go back to this sad place.

Lin Yao lowered her voice, "Later, I'll take you to my mother's former yard to see if you can find clues." ”

"Actually......"

Mu Xi sighed, "Sister Yao, I can read the face, Aunt Nale does carry several lives.

But there is no causal line with you, so ......"

"Not her?"

Lin Yao was still a little surprised, and frankly said that her first suspicion was Aunt Le.

After all, if it weren't for Aunt Le, her mother might not have been angry so early.

Mu Xi shook his head, "She really didn't do that." She was surprised just now.

"Why don't you go to the yard over there and see if you can find any clues."

Since Lin Yao is her future sister-in-law, Mu Xi naturally spares no effort to help her.

"Thank you, Xiaoxi!"

Lin Yao was particularly moved, and was about to say something more, when the banquet began, and everyone moved to the banquet hall.

The Dafeng Dynasty did not strictly guard men and women, because there was no division between men and women, but men and women did not sit together.

Mu Xi was still sitting with Lin Yao, which immediately attracted a lot of speculation and was curious about her identity.

Mu Xi didn't care, she was bored and twisted a piece of dim sum and ate it, this was the birthday celebration, and Mrs. Lin was coaxed into laughing.

Originally, Lin Yao and Mu Xi sat there obediently eating the banquet, but they didn't expect Lin Man to be confused and actually provoke Lin Yao.

"Grandmother, Sister Yao just told me that she also prepared a gift for you, which is a talent show."

Lin Man deliberately raised his eyebrows at Lin Yao, but Old Madam Lin saw all this in her eyes, but she didn't stop it.

"Oh?"

She looked at Lin Yao, with hypocritical charity in her eyebrows, "Yao'er, what talent have you prepared?" ”

"Sister Yao, do you need help?"

Mu Xi was a little angry, Lin Yao was the person she was protecting, so Lin Man actually dared to bully Lin Yao in public!

Lin Yao shook her head gently, "Don't worry, Xiaoxi, I also grew up in my uncle's mansion, so I can't lose my uncle's face." ”

She Shi Shiran got up, "Grandmother, can you ask someone to bring a pipa?" ”

told everyone so clearly that it was Lin Man who was calculating her, and Mrs. Lin's face suddenly became ugly.

Mrs. Lin also couldn't get off the stage, so she could only wave her hand and let the maid get it.

Soon the maid brought a pipa, and Lin Yao smiled at Mu Xi, her plain white fingertips gently plucking the strings.

"The second girl is really too much!"

Cuiliu couldn't help but snort coldly, "Fortunately, the girl is versatile, otherwise she will definitely be made fun of by everyone." ”

"It's just a clown!"

Mu Xi smiled mockingly: "She wants to climb up with Sister Yao, and she doesn't weigh her identity." ”

"Miss Mu is right, she doesn't deserve it!"

Cuiliu echoed indignantly, and after the song was finished, everyone was amazed by Lin Yao's pipa.

The lively banquet hall burst into applause, and Lin Manran almost dropped the cup in his hand in anger, but Lin Yao had already saluted.

"Fang Cai Man'er also said that she wanted to compete with me, sister, I'll wait and see."

After speaking, she put down the pipa and Shi Shiran returned to Mu Xi's side, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoxi, how is my sister playing?" ”

"Sounds good."

Mu Xi smiled softly, and Lin Man was forced by Lin Yao to perform on stage.

It's a pity that she doesn't usually work hard, and her dancing attainments are not high, so she can only get a lot of shameful laughter.

So Lin Man blamed Lin Yao for all this.

"Xiaoxi, let's go."

Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on herself, Lin Yao got up slightly and left the banquet hall first.

Mu Xi also left immediately, and they went straight to the courtyard where Lin Yao's mother used to live.

It's just that when Lin Yao looked at the dust all over the yard, he couldn't help crying.

"Mother is not here, he is so affectionate, he doesn't even send a sweeper girl over."

The courtyard where Lin Yao's mother lives is a little bleak, it used to be the main courtyard in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, but now it has become the most remote existence.

Lin Yao muttered, "Fortunately, that person didn't dare to live in this courtyard, for fear that as soon as he moved in, he would remember the days when he served tea and poured water for my mother."

Because she didn't occupy the yard, the traces left by my mother are still there. ”

"Then let's go in and see."

Mu Xi took out a square scarf and handed it to Lin Yao, "Sister Yao, cover your nose." ”

"Okay."

Lin Yao took the scarf and covered her nose, Qiong Zhi and Cuiliu stood guard outside the door, and the two strode in.

"Xiaoxi, I'll take you to my mother's bedroom."

"Okay."

Mu Xi frowned slightly, she didn't feel any evil aura in this courtyard, it seemed that Sister Yao was going to be disappointed.

Lin Yao pushed open a dusty door, and the purpose was crooked furniture.

"Xiaoxi, how can I know that it is a trace left by the evil spirit?"

"Sister Yao doesn't have to look for it, there is no evil spirit in this courtyard."

Mu Xi shook his head, his face solemn, "It seems that it has been cleaned up." ”
