Chapter 6 Questions

The next day, the heavy snow, which had been falling for two days and two nights, finally stopped.

The sun shines directly on the snow through layers of mist, refracting dazzling light.

Lin Zhaoyan was served by Manshuang as usual, getting up and washing up, and his mind was still thinking about what happened yesterday.

The empress dowager wanted to summon girls to the palace to accompany her. There must be some intrigue in the mansion. Aunt Wan and Lin Xingyan were eager to try it out. They left Xiaoxiang Pavilion only at 3 o'clock last night, and they didn't know what they were planning.

And last night, she seemed to hear something crying. Because she had always ignored the trivial matters in the mansion, no one of the maids went to inquire about it, and didn't know what was going on.

Thinking of this, Man Shuang, who was tying her hair for her, suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Girl, do you know? I heard that the Tenth Girl from the fifth room fell into the pool last night. It was said that it was pushed by Miss Ninth, so Aunt Gui went to Aunt Hui's place to make a fuss!"

Lin Zhaoyan was stunned, "When was last night?"

"Just shortly after the girl rested." Manshuang replied honestly: "It was Manhua who heard about it when he went to Sister Ziying's place early in the morning to ask for something. He said that it was a big mess, but it was Mrs. Hou who came to settle it, which almost alarmed the old lady!"

Lin Zhaoyan's lips were covered with coldness. The news I just learned yesterday was so urgent that each room could not wait!

"Does the girl know how to deal with this matter in the end?" Manshuang asked mysteriously while taking the crabapple tassel hairpin on the dressing table.

Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, but thought to himself that Mrs. Marquis Lu, like Lin Xingyan, is a person of all kinds. Sometimes she hates you very much and can still be polite to you on the surface. She has a very good reputation for the past few years and has never offended anyone directly. This time, she must have been given a lighter punishment, and then she expressed respect and reported to the old lady that the Ninth and Tenth Girls, who are not in harmony with their sisters, should not think about going to the palace to serve the empress dowager.

Who knew that Man Shuang said, "Miss is definitely not guessing. She said that this time Mrs. Hou severely scolded Miss Jiu and the others, punished them for half a year, and banned them for three months!"

"Is that true?" Lin Zhaoyan frowned, and his heart was strange.

"Yes!" Man Shuang tied his hair well, and then took out a fingernail-sized ointment from the blue and white iron box and applied it to Lin Zhaoyan's face. While gently pushing and applying it, he replied: "Manhua said that Mrs. Hou looked very bad last night, and her whole face was covered with her face. The nine girls and the others happened to hit the gun!"

Seeing Manshuang talking so hard, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but laugh, and applied evenly the ointment on his face to exude a faint magnolia fragrance, refreshing the heart.

Miss Ninth and Miss Tenth are both from the fifth house. They are usually following Lin Jinming as a hero, and they are never in the same way as their third house, and have bullied her verbally.

Manshuang is gloating for her!

"Forget it, don't worry if it's not our business. Come and dress up and pay your respects to your mother!"

Although she was also wondering why Lu's style was so thunderous and decisive this time, what's the matter with her?

Manshuang responded well, smelling the light magnolia fragrance in the air, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, "This box of balm was brought back from Jiangnan last time, and it was so easy to use. I wonder what the master will bring to the girl when he comes back from Yiling this time."

Mr. Lin Kun loves calligraphy and painting. A while ago, there was a painting exhibition in Yiling, so he filed a leave of absence from the public and went to Yiling with a group of friends. It has been more than four months since he left.

This time the prince and the Sixth Princess passed away. Whether he was a minister or the Sixth Princess' uncle, he would come back early.

When talking about his father Lin Kun, Lin Zhaoyan's heart suddenly felt warm. The only person in the Marquis' Mansion who had no prejudice against him was probably her father.

Only by his side can she feel the warmth of the Fire Dragon Art between her relatives.

Just as he was thinking about this, Manhua walked in with a restless look on his face, "Girl, Sister Cui Ling, who is beside the old lady, asked you to go to Rongshou Hall, saying that the old lady has something to come to you."

Unlike Liu's sternness, Old Lady Lin has always been cold to Lin Zhaoyan, and basically takes a ignorant attitude and has never summoned her in private. This time, it may not be a good thing, and it is no wonder that Manhua is so nervous.

Lin Zhaoyan was also surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down and asked, "Has Cui Ling said anything else?"

Manhua shook his head, "No, but I heard that I seemed to have called Miss Five." Then he said worriedly, "I'm not still blaming the girl for causing her to fall into the lotus pond, right?"

Lin Zhaoyan pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

After spending eight years together, she knows Lin Ruoyan very well. Since she has promised to forgive you, she will not cause any stumbling behind her back.

I'm afraid it was for the quarrel with Lin Jinming yesterday.

Rongshoutang is also located west of the Hou Mansion, not far from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Lin Zhaoyan was taken by Cui Ling, and he arrived at the front of the main room of Rongshoutang in about half a stick of incense.

"Manshuang, wait outside the door, and wait for me to come out to take you to the wing room west later." Cui Ling paused and looked at Manshuang who was following Lin Zhaoyan expressionlessly.

Manshuang was a little helpless. She always followed Lin Zhaoyan, but this time she separated them. Could it be that something really happened?

She subconsciously turned her eyes to Lin Zhaoyan, "Girl..."

Lin Zhaoyan gave her a look and signaled her to be calm, but she became more convinced of her previous thoughts. Manshuang was also present yesterday, probably to prevent her confession from being interrogated, so she interrogated separately.

Manshuang calmed down and stood quietly outside the door with his head down.

Cui Ling lifted the silver-red felt curtain and asked Lin Zhaoyan to go in, walked through the main hall and the marble-painted Jiangnan mountain-colored smoke and water screen, stopped outside the East Warehouse, and said respectfully: "The old lady is waiting for you inside."

Lin Zhaoyan nodded slightly.

When he opened the curtain, the heating in the room rushed over. Lin Zhaoyan saw two delicate figures kneeling in the center at a glance.

It was the third girl Lin Jinming and the fifth girl Lin Ruoyan.

Next to them were Mrs. Hou Lu and Mrs. Liu, the third wife, each with their faces looking very ugly.

The old man in plain clothes sitting on the chair with Ganoderma lucidum pattern on the upper head is the old lady Lin, the head of the Hou Mansion.

Perhaps what happened in the palace made Mrs. Lin exhausted. She looked less energetic than before. She had a few silver hair on her temples and her eyebrows were tightly twisted, as if she was ten years older.

Lin Zhaoyan sneered in his heart, don’t look sad now, he can still treat him as if he is fine in the future, and enjoy the glory and wealth brought to the Marquis’ Mansion with peace of mind.

"Please my grandmother." Lin Zhaoyan calmed down his thoughts and was slightly blessed.
