Xiahou Yan came to the Lin family's courtyard and entered the house, only to see the Lin family sitting at the table and checking the account books.

Xiahou Yan held back her anger and shouted angrily: "Mother, you still have the leisure to read the accounts, your daughter has been bullied." ”

Lin Shi only lowered his head to check the accounts, and asked without raising his head: "Who is so bold that he actually made my young lady angry." ”

Xiahou Yan said angrily: "Who else, it's that Xiahou Shuang, I just came from her." ”

As soon as Lin heard this, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Did you ask about the things you asked?"

Xiahou Yan picked up the teacup with her hand, took a sip and said, "I didn't ask anything, and said that if I want to get to know that foreign man, I can ask Mama Wang." Mother, what do you mean by her? Do you know something?"

Lin asked with a solemn face, "Did she really say that?"

Xiahou Yan put down the teacup in her hand and nodded seriously: "It's true, that's what I said." ”

Lin pondered for a moment and said, "When did this girl become so smart?"

"And mother, what are we going to do?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it. ”

"Your uncle has already replied to me, creating an opportunity for the two of them to meet again, but I'm afraid this girl won't be so easy to take the bait. ”

Lin hesitated a little, afraid that it would be self-defeating, "I'm going to go back and discuss this matter with your uncle." ”

Early the next morning, the Lin family left the Hou Mansion in a carriage, and Lin's maiden home was in the west of the capital.

After walking for a long time, he entered an alley that could only accommodate a carriage, and stopped at a gate. The two maids helped Lin get out of the carriage, and Yurong went to knock on the door.

"Who. A little girl opened the door with sleepy eyes, and saw that it was Lin who hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "It's my aunt and grandmother who are back." ”

Greeted the Lin family into the courtyard, and ran towards the main house again, shouting as he ran: "Old lady, my aunt and grandmother are back." ”

The sister-in-law of the Lin family in the house, Li, hurriedly came out to greet her: "Why is my sister free to come back today, come into the house to rest." ”

Lin looked at Lin Hongyi and asked, "Where is my eldest brother?"

"Go and call the master. Li explained while instructing the maid to call someone: "The master is still with the concubine Zhao." ”

While speaking, Lin Hongyi's eldest brother Lin Hongyi came to the main house, Lin Hongyi was over thirty years old, and his feet were soaked in the void of wine for a long time, and his face showed an abnormal blue color.

Bringing Lin to the study to retreat, Lin Hongyi asked, "My sister came back today for the sake of last time." ”

Lin said hatefully: "Yes, Mama Wang was beaten on the board, and I was also implicated and scolded by the old woman." Thinking of my dignified Mrs. Hou, she didn't leave me any face, it's really hateful!"

"That Chen Rui is also useless, the opportunity created for him in vain, big brother, what do you say about this matter next?"

Lin Hongyi comforted: "Don't worry, as I said in the letter, create an opportunity for the two to meet again." ”

Lin shook lightly: "That girl went to the temple and became vigilant, I'm afraid she won't be obedient." If the old lady finds out, it will be troublesome. ”

Lin Hongyi smiled gloomily: "Then don't do it twice, and directly let this girl lose her reputation and have no place to turn over." ”

Lin was taken aback: "Big brother, what do you want to do?"

Lin Hongyi couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, glanced at Lin, and said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, it will be your old lady's birthday in two months." ”

"When the time comes, there will be many people to cover up, so I will bring that Chen Rui into the mansion and settle down. You let the maid lead the girl to a private meeting, and under the witness of everyone, you have to marry if you don't marry. ”

Lin twisted his handkerchief and fought inwardly: "If that's the case, won't Yan'er's reputation be ruined?"

"Sister, you don't have the kindness of a woman. If such an ugly thing happens, the house must be covered up as much as possible and will not be spread out, and in a few years, everyone will forget about it, why should we Yan'er not find a good family?" Lin Hongyi hated iron and steel.

The Lin family was a little hesitant, Lin Hongyi decided to add a fire, and said meaningfully: "My sister doesn't want to fall into the hands of Xiahou Shuang because of the family property of the Great Marquis Mansion." ”

Lin remembered the last time he overheard the conversation between Hou Ye and the old lady, and instantly made up his mind in his heart: "Okay, I will make careful arrangements after I go back, is Chen Rui okay?"

Lin Hongyi said with confidence: "Chen Rui is greedy for wealth and wealth, in order to be able to enjoy the glory, he will definitely obey our arrangement, and now he is the best candidate,"

After discussing with his eldest brother, the Lin family felt like he had taken a reassuring pill. When he left the Lin Mansion, his heart was full of joy at the thought of getting rid of Xiahou Shuang, a thorn in his eye.

Inside Bi Luo Xuan.

The maid Xiaocui followed Chunya into the house to give a salute: "Miss, do you call a slave?"

Xiahou Shuang held a travelogue, looked down and ignored it.

Xiaocui heard Chunya say that Miss was looking for her, she was a little nervous, and there was no response after entering the house to ask for peace, so she couldn't help but glance around secretly.

I saw Chunya and Green Lake standing beside the young lady silently. Seeing that he looked up, the two pairs of eyes looked at him together, and Xiao Cui was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

"Xiao Cui, where are you from, who else is in the family?" Xiahou Shuang's cold voice sounded in front of Xiao Cui.

Xiaocui's spirit was shocked and hurriedly replied: "The slave maid is from Shanhe County, and there are parents, an elder brother, and two younger sisters at home. ”

Xiahou Shuang continued to ask: "Why did you enter the mansion?"

"Miss Hui, three years ago, the slave maid was sold into the Hou Mansion by her parents because of the drought in her hometown. Just because the slave maid often does rough work at home, she was assigned to be a maid in the pulp washing room here. ”

Xiahou Shuang continued to ask: "Do you have someone in the mansion who reprimands you?"

Xiao Cui's eyes turned around, and she replied cautiously: "The slave maid is well fed and clothed in the house, and there are monthly rules to take, which is much better than the slave maid at home." ”

"In that case, why do you want to be Cuizhuxuan's internal response!"

Xiahou Shuang's cold question, like a stone sinking into a lake, set off waves in Xiaocui's heart, and she replied in a panic: "Slave, slave maid has never done it." ”

Xiahou Shuang winked at Chun Ya, and Chun Ya walked up to Xiao Cui and said in a fierce voice: "You don't tell the truth quickly! You sneakily go to Cuizhuxuan at night, thinking that others don't know?

Xiaocui was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, spare your life, the slave is to find Wenxiu next to the second lady, we have a very good personal relationship, and we often ask for some needlework, there is really nothing else." ”

"Don't tell the truth, do you!" Chunya shouted, "Spring Cicada." ”

The spring cicada, who had been guarding outside the door, answered and pushed the door into the house. After opening a box in his hand, he took out a five-flowered snake, and the snake struggled to spit out the core.

The spring cicada shook in front of Xiao Cui's eyes, and Xiao Cui fell to the ground in fright.
