C55 (2/2)
There was still a young lady at the table who said in a low voice, ”If you can't get the favor of the Princess Changze, you can just vent your anger on others. There is still such a strange thing in this world …”
However, before she could finish speaking, the other girl pulled on her sleeve and shot a look at Lin Qian, signalling her to stop.
The girl stopped talking, realizing that her voice was getting louder.
Lin Qian felt even more embarrassed, tears welled up in her eyes. As the host, she naturally could not scold her guests directly, and if that was really the case, after the end of the banquet, forget about her grandmother, even her mother would be stumped for words.
Just that, she felt wronged. Previously, Princess Changze clearly liked her the most, but why was she outdone by that bastard the moment Lin Lian appeared?
When the young ladies saw the situation, none of them went forward to advise her, but it was Lin Shu who said softly: Second Sister, quickly eat.
Lin Qian was holding onto the plate of Dongpo Elbow in front of her. Normally, this was the dish that she hated the most, but now, she could not care about anything else as her tears flowed down.
You look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say.
Only Lin Shu knew that Lin Qian was a person with high spirits, and upon thinking that she would be able to beat Lin Lian to it, she was naturally unhappy. Taking the chance when Grand Madam and Princess Changze were toasting each other, she said softly: ”I saw Second Sister drink a lot of tea just now, so I'm afraid that you're going to have to go to the toilet right?”
Lin Qian was also a smart person, she knew that Lin Shu was trying to find a place for her to rest, so she told her to go outside to get some fresh air, then she covered her handkerchief and left the stage.
Seeing that, Zhang Yuanqing who was sitting beside her could not help but take a few more glances at her, thinking that although this Fourth Miss was young, his thoughts were extremely pure and innocent, and was also smart.
Thinking about it, she and Lin Shu spoke a few more words, and even said that she would wait for the flowers in her house to bloom, then send a message to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu was naturally smiling merrily as she agreed.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and that it was no longer convenient to go to the garden after lunch, the banquet for the flowers was over.
Grand Madam was also tired, he allowed Lin Lian to rest on his bed. Hearing First Madam and Second Madam say that they had already sent all the madams to the Flower Door, he half closed his eyes and nodded, ”... ”Since that's the case, you can leave now. I've been busy for the better part of the day, and everyone is tired. There's no need to come and pay respects in the evening.”
Lin Shu agreed after a few words, turned and walked out.
Before Lin Shu left, she did not forget to glance at Lin Lian. He saw that she had purposely revealed half of her Blue Field Jade Bracelet. I'll get Grandmother a basin of water and wipe Grandmother's face. ”
Grand Madam did not lack maids by her side, but in front of Grand Madam, she had always done such small things himself. He was afraid that Grand Madam would not feel that she was being filial, so he gave her face.
Lin Qian had already stepped out of the room and was already prepared to go down the stairs. Now that Lin Lian had come out, she mocked her even more: ”Fifth sister, you're really quite capable, I wonder what kind of fox charmer you used to attract the Princess Changze's attention to you. Heh, you actually have a lot of methods similar to the Auntie Zhong's, but I wonder if Princess Changze will still think so highly of you after knowing what the Auntie Zhong has done?”
This is the courtyard of the Grand Madam!
Lin Hui was shocked, and subconsciously pulled on Lin Qian's sleeve, ”Second Sister, don't say it anymore.”
However, Lin Qian broke free from her grasp and sneered. She said softly, ”What, did I say something wrong? A dragon gave birth to a phoenix; a mouse gave birth to a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix. A mouse gave birth to a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix. ”How could Aunt Zhong do such a malicious thing? I can't even tell you what happened.
Lin Lian pursed her lips. Her tears were like pearls that had been cut off, rustling as they fell.
Lin Shu did not plan to join in, regardless of whether it was Lin Qian or Lin Lian, they were both people who were easy to deal with. Lin Lian's scheming was slightly better, but with the Second Madam protecting Lin Qian's side, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.
Seeing that Lin Lian could only cry, Lin Qian became angrier, ”Grandmother and Princess Changze are not here, who are you crying to see this? Did I wrongly accuse you? Heh, Lian Jieer, don't blame me for my words as your big sister. This sparrow is a sparrow, even if it flew up the branch now, it would still fall down someday, so the higher you climb, the more painful it will fall. You better be careful. ”
”Why can't I understand Second Sister's words? Auntie Zhong did do something wrong, but what does that have to do with me? Even Grandmother said that you can't bring up this matter again in the future, but Second Sister used this matter to humiliate me time and time again in the Second Branch, so what's the meaning of saying this in front of all the sisters? ” While talking, Lin Lian's voice gradually grew louder and louder, and her voice had a hint of choked with sobs, ”I know my identity is not comparable to Second Sister, but I'm still a lady with Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Second Sister, don't you dare go too far …”
Lin Qian sneered, ”You're going too far? How could I dare to bully you? ”Now that you are Grandmother and Princess Changze's big red man, there is a chance that one day you will say something in front of Grandmother and Princess Changze and I will go to the ancestral hall to kneel …”
When she looked up, she saw Grand Madam standing at the door. Her voice immediately changed, ”Grandmother!”
