Chapter 21 The role of peppers
Lin Yunmeng cried terribly, with snot and tears flowing from her nose, and she couldn't wipe them away.
Although it was a bit ugly to cry, Lin Lin was shocked and speechless.
"My daughter knew that she had taken over my grandma's dowry, and my aunt was not happy because her daughter had delayed her from making money. But she also wanted to live well, so she insisted on getting the dowry back..." Lin Yunmeng did not dare to use her hands again.
Wiping, tears flowed down like broken beads:
"I'm really afraid that one day I won't have enough to eat or sleep warmly. If I have some money, I can go out for a good meal, but if I don't have any money, I'll have to faint from hunger again.
matter."
After deliberately mocking Zhang Yanfang, Lin Yunmeng continued: "I also know that those shops are losing money, but if it is a big prime minister's mansion, does my aunt just rely on the income of a few shops to make a living? It's not easy to find it.
There is a person who can handle the accounts for my daughter, but my aunt finds him out of nowhere and offers a higher price. As long as he no longer helps me with things, I only have one reliable person. Why would my aunt do this?
"
Lin Lin naturally didn't know about these things. As a minister, he was too busy with court affairs every day, so how could he pay attention to a few small shops?
Therefore, even if he noticed Zhang Yanfang's little secret actions, he would just turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't know about it.
I just didn't expect that his daughter was quite ruthless. This kind of secret confrontation directly made her bring it up to the public, making the whole atmosphere awkward for a while.
"My daughter was so angry that she asked my aunt to argue with her. But before she could say anything serious, my aunt fainted. What could I do?"
After Lin Yunmeng finished speaking, she wiped her face subconsciously and almost screamed.
She was acting so seriously that she forgot to apply chili powder on her hands!
I was crying miserably. After saying these heart-wrenching words, I suddenly cried even more miserably. The originally beautiful fairy disappeared, leaving only this weak girl who was crying heartbroken.
Even Zhang Yanfang, who was pretending to be asleep, couldn't bear the sound of her crying.
What could Lin Lin say? Even if he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he was silenced by Lin Yunmeng's howl before he could say anything, so he had to send her back with a dark face.
Along the way, Lin Yunmeng kept crying. The maids passing by couldn't help but feel pity. No one had ever seen the eldest lady cry like this?
Thinking again about what just happened, many maids and servants curled their lips. These servants were not blind. Everyone saw the days when Zhang Yanfang had been domineering and bullying and neglecting the eldest lady in these years, but they were
The servant, no matter how bad he is, can only feel sorry for the young lady.
Zhang Yanfang had no idea that just because Lin Yunmeng cried so violently, the next day the wife of the Prime Minister abused her daughter-in-law, and the poor daughter-in-law cried bitterly.
Many married women also knew about it, and many people chewed her tongue behind her back.
At this time, Lin Yunmeng didn't know what consequences her unintentional actions had caused. As soon as she returned to Quemeng Pavilion, she was busy shouting to Mi'er: "Quick, quick, quick! Water!"
Mi'er had just finished wiping her tears, which was deeply affected, and suddenly recalled this incident, and quickly fetched water.
Seeing Lin Yunmeng frantically washing her face, Mi'er couldn't help but look up at the sky, looking at her bad memory, and shed tears in vain.
…
The next day, Lin Yunmeng went out wearing a silk scarf. There was nothing she could do about it, her eyes were swollen.
Qing Nuoben was still calculating something with his abacus, but when he saw Lin Yunmeng had a strange look on his face, he looked confused.
"Sister Meng?"
This is the title that Lin Yunmeng strives for. Qingnuo is indeed a little younger than her. He is only fourteen this year.
"It's okay, my eyes are a bit swollen." Lin Yunmeng waved her hands carelessly, looking at Pinmo Pavilion, which was beginning to flourish, and nodded with satisfaction.
"What's wrong, is this?" they both said at the same time.
Qingnuo frowned slightly and asked worriedly. At this time, there was a voice next to him that overlapped with Qingnuo's question.
Lin Yunmeng looked over in surprise and met Xiao Yubei's dark eyes. His eyes flashed, showing some worry and longing.
"Miss Lin, I have heard about what happened yesterday. Are you okay?"
He seemed very worried, but because of his status he couldn't be rude.
Lin Yunmeng looked confused: "What's going on?"
What happened, why didn't she know?
Xiao Yubei briefly explained the recent rumors. Lin Yunmeng quickly lowered her head, but she was too sad to face it in the eyes of others.
Although the corners of her mouth hidden under the silk scarf had curled up in pleasure.
"Don't be sad...I'm here." Xiao Yubei seemed a little unaccustomed to saying love words, and he frowned even when he said such sweet words.
Qingnuo's originally gentle face darkened for some reason, and she calmly watched the two talking.
"I'm fine. It's just that my eyes are swollen and a bit ugly." Lin Yunmeng cooperated and lowered her head shyly.
When Xiao Yubei saw that she finally gave a little response, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
It turns out that his previous cold attitude towards her didn't work. Look, he changed his personality a little bit, and the other party immediately became interested in him.
Xiao Yubei thought like this, looking cold and arrogant on the surface, but he only revealed his tenderness to her.
"In my eyes, Miss Lin... is beautiful no matter what." Xiao Yubei paused and praised dryly.
Lin Yunmeng lowered her head, seeming to be very embarrassed, but in fact she was holding back her laughter.
At this time in her previous life, she had already fallen in love with him at first sight and eagerly followed him away. Naturally, this man was not as enthusiastic about her as he is now. Instead, he was extremely cold, like a high-ranking emperor who looked down on her from time to time.
This little pitiful one.
In this life, she didn't look good to him from the beginning, and even tricked him once later. This person looked like he didn't care, but Lin Yunmeng knew that he had always remembered it, and waited for her to nod in response.
Oh, this thing will find a way to trick you back if you turn around!
After all, he is a small-minded, narrow-minded bastard.
Lin Yunmeng despised it in her heart, but she was easy-going on the surface: "It's quite noisy here, why don't we go up there?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Yubei forced a smile. Although it was extremely stiff, it was enough to make people's hearts flutter. After all, he was indeed handsome.
Qingnuo pursed her lips and watched the two of them go upstairs in harmony.
The waiter who was getting tea next to him was stunned for a while, then hesitantly reminded: "Shopkeeper, your account book is about to be torn to pieces."
The young man suddenly came back to his senses, quickly smoothed out the wrinkled paper and smiled at the waiter.
…
On the second floor, Lin Yunmeng led Xiao Yubei to sit by the window.
Xiao Yubei ordered a pot of tea, and then looked at Lin Yunmeng with a pair of heavy eyes.
