Sun Ruolan was used to being popular outside with the power of the Lin family, so how could she stand such mockery? Just because someone said a few words, Sun Ruolan's face became a little unpleasant.

Thinking that she was the daughter of the Lin family after all, these people mocked Sun Ruolan, didn’t they just look down on the Lin family? Lin Yingxin was so angry that she put the teacup in her hand on the table, but just as she was about to say something, Lin Yingxue shook Lin Yingxin’s hand privately.

Lin Yingxin felt Lin Yingxue's actions and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Yingxue, but saw that Lin Yingxue seemed to be fine, still drinking tea on her own. Although she was confused, she finally refused to speak.

"What do you mean to stop me today?" Lin Yingxin was also a person who couldn't hold back. After the banquet, Lin Yingxin pulled Lin Yingxue and said to send her home. In fact, she just wanted to know what was going on from Lin Yingxue.

Looking at Lin Yingxin's look of impatient thinking, Lin Yingxue was helpless and a little laughing, "I sent someone to investigate Sun Ruolan. The purpose of this woman marrying into the Lin family may not be simple, let's see what she plans to do first."

The matter that Lin Yingxue arranged for Linzhi to investigate before has probably come to an end - Xue Ji came out of Xunliu Pavilion, a brothel that is full of beautiful ladies and cannot be afforded by ordinary people. I heard that the famous girls inside have such a tattoo on their bodies. As for what this tattoo represents, Linzhi has not found the answer yet.

As for the second thing, Sun Ruolan's identity is fine, but Hui'er had been in Xunliu Pavilion. However, she didn't know how to leave Xunliu Pavilion and turned to a brothel in Cang'er. Then she "stumbled" to meet Lin Zhengshang, who was doing business outside.

Logically speaking, if a brothel woman finally leaves the brothel, she will definitely think about living a good life and no reason to jump into the fire pit. This shows that Hui'er's purpose must be impure, and if she thinks a little worse, even Lin Zhengshang's accidental murder may have nothing to do with Hui'er.

But the most important point is that Sun Ruolan and Huier have both met a madam.

This clue is particularly important - as a brothel woman, it is not surprising that Huier knows those who are mixed with people, but Sun Ruolan is also a lady from the county magistrate's family, so there is no reason to get in touch with these inferior people.

Therefore, through the above clues, Lin Yingxue has sufficient reason to suspect that Sun Ruolan also intentionally entered the Lin family with purpose.

Seeing Lin Yingxue's serious look, Lin Yingxin knew that Lin Yingxue must be groundless.

"The fifth sister should be careful at home. If you have anything to do, come to Prince Jing's Mansion to find me at any time." Lin Yingxin said seriously.

Lin Yingxue patted Lin Yingxin's back of her hand, but she smiled without saying a word.

After arriving at the Lin family, Lin Yingxin continued to ask the driver to drive the carriage toward the direction of Prince Jing's Mansion. Lin Yingxue always felt a little uncomfortable after watching the carriage leave. It felt like someone was secretly peeping at her. But she turned around and looked around, but she didn't even see a single figure.

Could it be that she is too sensitive? Lin Yingxue turned around and entered the Lin Mansion.

...

Lin Zhengjie drank a little too much at the banquet today. When he went home, he let his maid take care of him and then fell asleep. Until he woke up from thirst in the middle of the night, the person next to him immediately got up and poured water for him. Only then did he realize that the person next to him had never been asleep.

"What's wrong? Madam is worried?" After drinking tea, Lin Zhengjie was also a little more awake and asked with concern.

Sun Ruolan looked up at Lin Zhengjie, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she just lay down with her back to Lin Zhengjie, "It's nothing, Master, let's go to bed. After a while, the master should get up and go to court in the morning."

Although Sun Ruolan turned her back to Lin Zhengjie, Lin Zhengjie could not see Sun Ruolan's expression clearly, but just listening to Sun Ruolan's tone, Lin Zhengjie could also hear that his wife was not in a good mood at this time.

"Husband..." Lin Zhengjie opened his mouth, but looking at Sun Ruolan's indifferent back, he didn't say anything more, just frowned and closed his eyes.

Sun Ruolan was a little depressed for several days. Lin Zhengjie also had many worries. After living in such a depressing atmosphere for several days, Lin Zhengjie finally couldn't help but explode.

"Who prepares this meal? These dishes are just these every day. Can the chefs in the kitchen cook other dishes?" Lin Zhengjie was eating dinner quietly, but suddenly threw the chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily.

The people in the room didn't expect that Lin Zhengjie would get angry. The maids standing beside him were so scared that they were jumped on the spot, while Sun Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to clean up the endgame in front of Lin Zhengjie.

"And you, who will show you a dead face all day long? Is the Lin family treating you badly, or am I not good to you?!" After Lin Zhengjie saw Sun Ruolan, he instantly turned the finger on Sun Ruolan.

When Sun Ruolan heard this, her body trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at Lin Zhengjie. There was already a faint burst of tears in her eyes, but she finally forced herself to cry in front of the servants, "You guys go down first." She gritted her teeth and whispered.

The maids on the side heard the sound and immediately stepped back quickly as if they were relieved.

Soon, only Sun Ruolan and Lin Zhengjie were left in the dining room.

Lin Zhengjie was angry, so he didn't speak, but just had a dark face and his chest was undulating violently, while Sun Ruolan had already turned her back and silently wiped the tears from her face with a veil.

Even though Lin Zhengjie was full of anger, most of the anger in his heart had disappeared when he saw this scene.

"What are you doing crying, it's not like!" Although he was still scolding, Lin Zhengjie's tone was obviously much softer than before.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruolan sobbed slightly and turned around, "Do you think I've been a little abnormal these days?"

"What? What's the matter with Madam?" Lin Zhengjie's question could be regarded as indirectly answering Sun Ruolan's question.

Sun Ruolan wiped the tears from her face and smiled bitterly: "Have you ever noticed the current situation of the second wife?"

Sun Ruolan's words made Lin Zhengjie stunned, "What's the situation?"

"The master is busy with official duties, so he naturally doesn't know." The bitterness on Sun Ruolan's face became stronger. "Since the third master entered, the business of the third bedroom has been getting worse. The third sister-in-law has not been through business and has no experience in this area. She has only taken over for a short month. I don't know how many troubles happened and how many shops I paid for."

"Under such a situation, the third bedroom naturally has no extra energy to take care of the second bedroom. Master, you have always been honest and dedicated. If the second bedroom has no support from the third bedroom, your life will naturally be worse than before... I have to work hard to reduce expenses now... Master, maybe there are many servants in our yard before you even found out..."

Not only are there many servants missing! After Sun Ruolan reminded him, Lin Zhengjie suddenly realized that not only the second wife's dietary standards have declined recently, but even the beautiful wife who usually likes to dress up the most is now wearing only half-old clothes and ordinary decorations...

"I ignored these..." Lin Zhengjie grabbed Sun Ruolan's hand with guilt and heartache, "I also encountered many difficult things in the court, so I ignored my family. Ruolan, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Not hard work." Lin Zhengjie's words made the tears that Sun Ruolan had just disappeared again. She shook her head and looked at Lin Zhengjie pitifully and said, "I am from a small family. This difficulty is nothing to me. Even if I am ridiculed... In short, I am not afraid of hard work. Even if I have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, the master may have to feel wronged and reduce his expenses."

"Is someone giving you a look outside?" Lin Zhengjie keenly grasped the obscure point in Sun Ruolan's words.

"No, Master, don't think too much..." Sun Ruolan lowered her head uneasy.

Although the person in front of him was unwilling to admit it, Lin Zhengjie obviously knew why his wife was depressed these days.

"Ruolan, since you have married me, I will naturally not let you suffer with me. All the expenses of the second wife will be the same in the future. You don't have to worry about the rest, just leave it to me." Lin Zhengjie frowned and hugged Sun Ruolan into his arms, with a thoughtful expression.

Sun Ruolan received Lin Zhengjie's guarantee, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise her lips slightly, but there was no smile in Yingran's eyes.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your hard work during this period. Today, it is rare that there is nothing to do. Should Lord Lin go out with his subordinates?" After the time comes, Li Yong, the minister of Lin Zhengjie, still spoke up and invited him.

If it were normal, Lin Zhengjie must have made excuses to shirk it. However, after hesitating for a while today, Lin Zhengjie agreed, "Okay, you can lead the way."

Although Lin Zhengjie's attitude still seemed a little cold, when Li Yong heard Lin Zhengjie agreeing to go out with him, he immediately showed a look of overjoyment on his face.

"Okay, please invite me here! There is a newly opened Xunliu Pavilion in the city. The girls inside are all very good. Moreover, they only received ten guests that day. The officials arranged for a long time to wait for this opportunity. It is rare that Lord Lin is interested today. Why don't we go there to drink and have a meal..."

While Li Yong said this, he took Lin Zhengjie out with great enthusiasm.

Xunliu Pavilion is not much the same as the ordinary brothel - it looks more like an antique mansion, with rockery flowing water and corridor carvings, all of which are exquisite and beautiful. If you don’t know the inside story, you can’t tell that it is actually a brothel.

After Lin Zhengjie stepped in with Li Yong, he could not help but feel very satisfied.

After sitting in the wing room, two women came in soon, one of them held a pipa and the other held a guqin. Every frown and smiled, they all had the style of a small family of jasper. Lin Zhengjie had always looked down on those brothel women, but after seeing these two women today, his always stable mood began to shake.
