Chapter 195
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
After Lin Yunwan came back from Mrs. Lin's place, her face looked a little bad.
Xiruo didn't know what happened.
Lin Yunwan and Xiruo went back to the room, closed the door and said, "Master is really too..."
So stupid!
The old lady just deceived Lin Huabin casually, and he told the truth.
It's just a burned-out temporary post. Isn't it difficult to edit it?
She said calmly: "The old lady knows that I am Mr. Zhao's illegitimate daughter."
Xiruo remained silent.
Lin Yunwan said: "Bring a pen and paper over here, I want to tell the prince about this."
Xiruo went to get something, and Lin Yunwan pinched her eyebrows. Now things have become unpredictable for her.
"Girl, don't worry too much. I don't think the old lady is a confused person. No matter how much she knows, she won't say anything casually."
Lin Yunwan poured water into the inkstone and studied the ink herself.
"Although I don't want to publicize my life experience, I'm not worried that the old lady will publicize my story."
Xiruo didn't understand: "Then what are you worried about?"
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "It's not difficult for me to live in the Lin Mansion."
"Master Zhao sent me in because he owed me a favor. A silver building and a wine shop are enough to pay off the debt."
"The old lady is much more scheming than the old man. Once she guesses that this is what the prince means, it will be a matter between the prince and the Lin family."
The meaning is different.
Xiruo understood: "Are you afraid that the Lin clan will try to repay the favor in the future? Then... the money from the Yinlou Winery is not enough to repay."
That's what Lin Yunwan meant.
"It's not that I don't want to return the favor. Mrs. Lin is also a measured person."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be more enthusiastic about her immediately.
"But there are so many people in the Lin family, no one can say what will happen in the future."
She had been the matron of the house and was accustomed to foresight.
Lin Yunwan said helplessly: "It is easier to deal with people like the master and his wife."
Xiruo thought for a while and said, "The girl is really good at scolding."
Lin Yunwan smiled.
After sending a letter to Qi Lingheng, Lin Yunwan began to clean up her Bixi Hall.
She ordered Cuiqin: "Find all the girls and women who have cleaned up the dirty things in my house."
"yes."
After questioning for half an hour, Lin Yunwan was sure how the piece of paper escaped.
The girl was also innocent. She was scared to death and was still defending herself: "Girl, I just sent all the dirty things in the yard out to be cleaned up as usual..."
Lin Yunwan and Xiruo went out at that time, but Cuiqin hadn't come yet.
When things arrive in the backyard, they are all handled uniformly by Mother Zhao.
Whenever Auntie asked for that thing, Mother Zhao would pull it out from the ashes and give it out.
The girls all cried.
Lin Yunwan said gently: "Get up. I don't want to punish you."
The girl wiped her face, thinking she was going to be punished.
Lin Yunwan told Cuiqin: "From now on, the things that belong to me must be handled like this. Not a single piece of paper can be leaked out without my instructions."
Cuiqin was very smart. After thinking about it, she said, "I understand. From now on, every thread in your room must pass through my eyes before leaving this yard."
Lin Yunwan nodded and stopped pursuing the matter.
"Bixitang is very big, and everyone is bound to make mistakes. Cuiqin, you have to learn to use the girl and take care of the girl."
"You must make sure that even when you are not around, the yard will be the same as when the master is around."
From now on, she will teach Cuiqin how to manage things.
Cuiqin had never learned such a complicated thing before. She nodded and silently tried to figure out what Lin Yunwan said.
Lin Yunwan was already thinking about her marriage to Qi Lingheng.
Entering the house, Xiruo asked Lin Yunwan: "Miss, do you want to take Cuiqin away as a dowry maid?"
Lin Yunwan hummed and said, "The old lady already knows about me. If I leave too cleanly, the old lady and the master will feel uncomfortable. I don't want to be so heartless."
"Cuiqin is very good, just take her."
Xiruo also liked Cuiqin very much, so she said, "Fortunately, you picked Cuiqin in advance. The Lin family won't be able to block anyone else in the future."
Lin Yunwan smiled.
That is also impossible. If there is a chance, how can the Lin Mansion not block people?
But these are all trivial matters. What she is most worried about now is another thing.
"If the emperor and empress agree to the marriage between the prince and me, the prince will probably have to return to the capital for the wedding."
Lin Yunwan began to feel uneasy.
She closed her eyes and thought of her mother and brother. She missed them very much.
But now she was going to face the emperor and the empress, and she was not sure yet about the possibility of being recognized.
Xiruo knew her worries and said softly: "Isn't the prince here?"
Lin Yunwan smiled.
Qi Lingheng is not afraid, so what is she afraid of?
From now on, when we become husband and wife, we will both prosper and suffer.
After drying the letter, Lin Yunwan said to Xiruo, "It's not peaceful in the house these days. You can send it out in a few days."
"yes."
A few days later, Xiruo went out before dawn.
Although there has been no news from the capital, Lin Mansion feels that Lin Yunwan's marriage is a definite matter, and privately has begun to mobilize manpower and spare money to prepare for her marriage.
Xiruo came back after sending the letter and said with a smile: "Except for the concierge, no one recognized that I am from Bixi Hall. They were all in a hurry and didn't care to look at the slaves."
She went out smoothly and brought back a letter from Qi Lingheng.
Lin Yunwan took it apart and looked at it, smiling lightly.
Why is the prince such an unruly person?
Ask her if she is in a hurry to marry him.
What's she worried about?
When it came to serious matters, he only said a short sentence, saying that he understood and asked her not to take it to heart.
Just reading the handwriting on the letter, Lin Yunwan could think of him as a calm and gentle man who didn't take Lin Mansion seriously.
"Bring me my embroidered bandage."
She had been playing the piano these days. Xiruo came over with a embroidered bandage and asked, "Aren't you going to play the piano?"
Lin Yunwan went through the process and said with a helpless smile: "Your Majesty wants a purse."
He said other men had them.
Meaning, he must have it too.
"I've already received his private seal, so why don't I give him something back?"
There is nothing we can do against him.
Lin Yunwan found the colorful patterns Zhang usually made and embroidered them accordingly to make the embroidered surface of the purse.
In early August, people came to the capital.
The imperial court sent people from the Ministry of Rites to the Lin Mansion to accept the offer.
The marriage was finally decided, and King Huan married a concubine, which caused a sensation in the whole Jiang Qian.
It's being spread everywhere outside.
"The girl from the Lin family is really lucky. She fell into the water and was saved by the prince, so she became the princess!"
"Which room in the Lin family is the girl?"
"Second bedroom."
As for how many ladies there are in the second room and which one they are, people outside don’t know.
The Lin Mansion was very lively, but Mrs. Zheng lost weight.
She was so angry that her face turned pale, and Fan's mother continued to scold her: "This bitch! She only harmed Jiaoer on purpose! If she hadn't deceived Jiaoer, it would have been my Jiaoer that King Huan wanted to marry!"
Ever since Mother Fan fell into the water that time, she has been in low spirits.
She didn't want to offend Princess Huan.
She just listened to whatever the wife was scolding and didn't interrupt.
And she had a vague feeling that even if the eldest lady was not Princess Huan, the wife would not be able to defeat the eldest lady.
Mrs. Zheng suddenly stood up and gritted her teeth and said: "No... why is she Princess Huan? My Jiaoer cannot marry Wen Hai. It must be a mistake. They should do the opposite!"
It's crazy.
Fan's mother advised: "Madam, things have come to this point, please don't..."
Mrs. Zheng glared at her: "What do you know!"
If the stepdaughter wants to settle accounts after the fall, she will not go to her biological father or the Lin family. The stepdaughter will only go to her stepmother to settle accounts.
Will she and her daughter have a good life in the future?
"When will the people from the Ministry of Rites come to ask for your name?"
Zheng had a headache and did not go to Mrs. Lin, but this news must have spread in the house.
Fan's mother is also very concerned about this matter. Everyone in Jiangqian is paying attention to it. How can she not follow suit?
She said: "Madam, it is said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sixteen-year-old will come and ask for my name."
Zheng was stunned: "So urgent?"
Princes get married very slowly.
Fan's mother said: "Maybe the date is August 16th this year!"
Zheng was thinking about other things and murmured: "Sixteen questions..."
Asking by name means that the Ministry of Rites comes to ask about the birth mother and birth date of the prospective princess. What if the person being asked about the name is her beloved son? When the time comes, send Jiaoer's horoscope.
Thinking of this, her own eyelids jumped.
No matter, for the sake of my daughter and myself, I must give it a try.
Zheng went to Lin Huabin to discuss.
