Chapter 116
The mother in charge took Lin Yunwan and Xiruo to Zheng's yard.
Mrs. Zheng, who was very elegant, was still asleep in the room. Mother Fan who was waiting next to her came out and said: "My wife hasn't finished washing up yet, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and went in without even looking at Lin Yunwan.
However, Lin Yunwan was wearing a curtain hat, so even if she wanted to take a closer look, she couldn't.
The mother who brought them here also left.
Snow began to fall in the courtyard, and even the maids were unwilling to stay outside. Lin Yunwan and Xiruo were the only two people on the porch.
"It's too much!"
Xiruo whispered: "Girl, this lady wants to set rules for you."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
She was also the mistress who had been in charge of affairs in the inner house, so how could she not know what Zheng was thinking.
Xiruo couldn't bear it anymore, she clenched her fist and said, "Girl, let's not see her anymore until Mr. Lin gives us an explanation!"
"How about taking the lead to see Zhao... that's fine."
King Huan's brother-in-law, Zhao Jingyi.
She has a token in her hand, and no one from the Lin Mansion can stop her. It would be easy for her to find Mr. Zhao! It's just a waste of Miss Lin's good status.
Lin Yunwan shook her head and said, "It seems that this lady doesn't know my identity. Think about it...this is a good thing."
The less people know about her, the better.
What kind of trouble is trouble in the inner house?
Xiruo thought for a moment and really calmed down.
She whispered: "...then you can't be wronged like this."
Lin Yunwan said lightly: "It's not that I'm wronged, it's that Miss Lin is too wronged. If I want to become her, I must not only borrow her identity, but also suffer her grievances, so that I can really be like her."
She lifted the curtain and smiled slightly: "Do you think so?"
Xiruo was stunned: "Yes."
Looking up at Lin Yunwan's bright and calm eyes, I admired her very much.
Madam escaped from death, so cherish this opportunity very much.
Then she should listen to the madam's orders!
Lin Yunwan put down the curtain and hat, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain based on her feeling and said, "Let's go in, it's cold outside."
Xiruo pursed her lips and smiled, then helped open the curtain and said, "Girl, let me do this from now on."
Lin Yunwan went first, followed by Xiruo.
The master and servant were staying inside. There was a stove burning in the middle of the small hall, which was much warmer than outside.
Fan's mother heard the commotion and came out, her eyes widened when she saw Lin Yunwan sitting upright wearing a curtain hat, and the girl was also beside the stove.
This country girl must be too courageous!
Fan's mother frowned and said, "Miss, my wife hasn't told you to come in yet."
Lin Yunwan turned her head and her curtain hat moved. She looked in the direction where Fan's mother was standing and asked, "Did Madam tell me to wait in the cold wind in the winter?"
"this……"
Of course not!
Isn't that obviously treating the daughter of the first wife harshly?
My wife is not a fool, so why should I bear this infamy?
But how could this young lady who grew up in the country be so stupid! You can't even tell what your wife means, you are reckless and ignorant!
Fan's mother changed her approach and said, "Girls who didn't grow up in the house may not know that this is the rule of a wealthy family."
"Oh? What's the rule?"
Fan's mother raised her eyes and said, "My aunt didn't give me any instructions. The juniors have to listen to the instructions outside before they can come in. It's really unruly to break into my wife's house without permission!"
"No well-educated girl would do such a thing."
Ordinary little girls at home would be ashamed to hear what their mother in charge said!
Fan's mother paused and continued a little arrogantly: "Girl, if you don't grow up in the house, you will still have to learn a lot of rules in the future."
"Let's just start from here today. Let's go outside and wait for my wife's instructions."
The small hall was very quiet, and the charcoal fire in the stove occasionally made some small sounds.
Fan’s mother had a proud smile on her face.
The girl who has not left the pavilion is thin-skinned. Maybe her face under the curtain hat has turned red, and maybe she is crying... but she is too timid to cry.
It's not easy to pick up a young lady from the country!
Lin Yunwan laughed softly.
Does Mrs. Zheng dare not take the initiative, or is she too lazy to come forward in person? Send a mother out to teach her stepdaughter a lesson, I'm afraid she's hiding in the back room and eavesdropping!
"You...why are you laughing?"
Fan's mother turned cold. Is there something wrong with the girl who came from the countryside? Do you really not understand her, or are you just pretending to be stupid with her?
Lin Yunwan stood up and took a step closer, asking Fan's mother: "Did you just say that I am uneducated?"
Her voice was very calm, it didn't sound like she was frightened.
On the contrary, he was very calm!
People who don't know better think that she is the legitimate young lady who was raised in the house, and that's why she has such confidence.
Fan's mother was a little confused, but she still didn't think a country girl could say anything powerful, so she said: "A girl who has no rules like this is not well-educated!"
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "It's your father's fault if you don't raise him well. It seems that you want to blame me, mother?"
"Don't worry, mom, I will bring your words to the master. But I don't know what my mother's last name is? I want to explain it to the master word for word, so that the master will not admit the wrong person."
This, are you going to complain to the master?
Fan's mother's face changed, and she stammered: "Miss, I...I am the acting wife..."
Lin Yunwan said coldly: "If you say 'I' in front of the lady, is this the rule of the Lin family?"
"I haven't been back for more than ten years. I would like to ask this mother, when did the master change the rules in the house?"
Lin Yunwan's tone was very calm, not anxious at all, and she dealt with it easily.
On the contrary, Fan's mother was so frightened that she started to sweat a little.
The eldest lady is not pretending to be stupid, she is very sharp-tongued!
Didn't she come from the countryside? How come you are so eloquent?
Fan's mother stammered: "I... slave, slave..."
"Back off."
Mrs. Zheng eavesdropped for a long time, then picked up the curtain from the inner room.
Lin Yunwan and Xiruo both looked up, a little shocked, what a gorgeous woman!
She is wearing a crimson satin bra, an eggplant-colored heddle skirt, and a very solemn womanly bun. She has two hairpins and one hairpin on her head. There is nothing to say about the gold hairpin. When I look at it, there is a jade hairpin in Zhengyang green. Then you know it is very valuable.
Not only that, brocade satin is a rare material, and not every imperial concubine in the capital can afford it.
The piece on Zheng's body was also woven with gold thread.
There is also a pair of Zhengyang green jade bracelets on her wrists, which are exactly the same color as the hairpin on her head. Either they came from the same stone, or they were specially collected at a high price.
Lin Yunwan thought to herself: "Master Lin must be very fond of Mrs. Zheng."
The Lin family can be considered a prominent family in Jiang Qian, but Master Lin is not the mainstay of the Lin family.
To put it simply, the Lin family is not a wealthy family.
How could Mrs. Zheng dress up like this...
No wonder the original Miss Lin lived such a miserable life.
