Chapter 18: Sisterhood

Aunt Liu's funeral was the first errand He did after taking the throne. In order to demonstrate their own justice and ability. The funerals and funerals were all the best among the concubines, and it took seven days to finish.

Lin Yuzhu is much thinner, and he doesn't come to Xiangmantang much these days. Lin Yi'an knew that she must have figured everything out, thinking that Aunt Liu's death was inseparable from herself, and she must have a grudge in her heart.

Lin Yi'an took out a letter from the drawer on the lowest level of the dressing table and rubbed it in his hand, which was the last letter that Aunt Liu asked her to bring to Lin Yuzhu before she died. The reason why he sent the letter himself was also to resolve the resentment in Lin Yuzhu's heart. After a long time, she called in a deep voice: "Lichun, send this letter to the fifth sister." ”

The warm sun shines obliquely through the screen window on the fragrant floor, and the plum blossoms in the vase on the table are fragrant. Lin Yi'an lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to play with the plum petals lovingly.

Plum is the favorite flower of Bai Wei.

"I've seen Miss Seven."

Behind the screen, a corner of goose-yellow clothes was revealed, and Lin Yi'an raised his eyes to meet Lin Baiwei's gaze.

"If it weren't for the fact that today is my eldest brother's birthday, I wouldn't have come." Lin Baiwei said coldly.

Lin Yi'an didn't seem to care about Lin Baiwei's attitude, she sat down with her skirt on: "Since you're here, let's stay and eat." Then he turned his head to Lichun and ordered, "Go and get this month's moon silver, and then go and prepare some food." He looked at Lin Baiwei's maid again, "Xianglan, you can go too, and prepare more dishes that Bai Wei likes to eat." ”

Retreating from everyone, only Yi'an and Bai Wei were left in the room.

"Bai Wei, now that the eldest lady has lost power, you don't have to be false with them in the future." Lin Yi'an said, "Over the years, you have been wronged by Lin Yuehua's side, pretending to be separated from me, and wronged you. ”

"Nope." Lin Baiwei shook her head, "The eldest lady lost power, but Lin Yueman didn't." Father's promotion documents will be sent to the Lin Mansion today, if I guessed correctly, he wants to use Lin Yueman to get in touch with the East Palace. In this way, there is a possibility of a resurgence at any time. ”

"The eldest daughter of Zhengerpin Shangshu, such an identity is indeed qualified to enter the East Palace. But I can't help but let you stay with them. If you hadn't sent the news of your father's promotion in the bait this time, things wouldn't have gone so well, and I'm afraid they would have noticed it against you. ”

Lin Yi'an held Lin Baiwei's hand, "I only have a sister like you, and I can't take risks." ”

Lin Baiwei's nose was sour, and she choked up: "I have always protected myself." If you have the leisure to worry about me, you might as well take care of yourself. The fifth sister is smart, if you have a grudge against you because of Aunt Liu's matter, I am afraid that she will not be good. ”

"Also, you can find Su Rong because you have found a helper outside the mansion, and outside the Lin mansion, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. If you find a helper who can be used best for you, if not, you should get out as soon as possible to avoid being implicated. ”

I don't know if it's because of grievances or worries, tears fall uncontrollably. Lin Yi'an stretched out his hand to wipe away Lin Baiwei's tears, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I thought you were my sister, so long-winded." Don't cry. I know those things in my heart, and if I have the chance, I will ask someone to find out the whereabouts of my eldest brother, so don't worry about it anymore. ”

"Okay." Lin Baiwei sat up straight, reapplied makeup to cover the tears, "Xianglan is their person, don't let her see the clues." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lichun came in with Xianglan and opened the curtain.

"The meal has been prepared in the east room, please move the two young ladies." Lichun Road.

"No need." Lin Baiwei stood up, and when she got up, she deliberately knocked over the vase on the small case, and she snorted coldly, "I came here today to get together for the sake of my eldest brother's birthday." If you think that a few plums will please me, you are dreaming. ”

"Sister, you should use the meal by yourself. Bai Wei will not be accompanied! With that, Lin Baiwei took Xianglan and left angrily.

"Seven ......" Lichun wanted to call Lin Baiwei, but Lin Yi'an grabbed her wrist, "Miss, you ......"

Lin Yi'an shook his head: "It's okay. She's just a little more willful. ”

Lin Baiwei's embarrassment of Lin Yi'an in Xiangmantang soon spread to Wanzhiyuan.

Lin Yuehua was very satisfied, and looked at Lin Yueman beside her with a little smugness, "Sister, I said that Bai Wei would not betray me." ”

"The events of the New Year's banquet are one after another, and if you want to accurately grasp these things, you must know more information. Lin Baiwei is Lin Yi'an's own sister, you can't trust her so much. Lin Yueman said.

"Can't be trusted?" Lin Yuehua felt funny, she looked at Lin Yueman and said, "Sister, I am your own sister, so do you trust me?" ”

"Nature." Lin Yueman affirmed, "You are my sister, I won't blame you for the silver needle." ”

Lin Yueman grabbed her wrist and said word by word: "Hua'er, I am the only one in this world who will not harm you." ”

Lin Yuehua smiled self-deprecatingly, she reached out and forcefully moved Lin Yueman's hand away little by little.

"Of course you won't hurt me. I am the stepping stone for you to enter the East Palace, why are you willing to harm me? ”

Looking at Lin Yueman's shocked appearance, Lin Yuehua felt a little funny. She continued.

"I knew a long time ago that you and my mother only used me as pawns. Accidental? I have accepted your use so calmly. Because I understand very well that a more dangerous place than the Imperial Palace is the East Palace. So I'm willing to marry someone who is the right person and be willing to be your stepping stone. ”

"Dancing shoes hide needles, it's never because I'm jealous of you for apprenticeship, what I'm really jealous of is just my mother's preference for you!"

Lin Yuehua's hand gently brushed Lin Yueman's cheek, and she sighed almost incomprehensibly, "Sister, your ambitions are too great." Sooner or later you will lose in your ambitions. ”
