  Lin Jinyong watched from the side with a cold eye, knowing that it wouldn't be as simple as what the twins said. The twins had inherited their second aunt Luo's temperament, sweet on the surface but bitter inside. Not to mention the fifth daughter, even she had been taken advantage of by the twins several times. Although some details of today's events didn't match those of her past life, the overall situation was still the same - the fifth daughter must have been bullied by the twins.

  She thought for a moment, then broke into a sweet smile and beckoned to Fifth Sister: "Fifth sister..."

  Lin Wuzheng was heartbroken for being squeezed out by his twin brothers and ignored by the elders, but suddenly hearing this sweet call, his eyes lit up, he exerted himself, and seemingly unintentionally bumped into Lin Qi's buttocks, smiling and walking towards Lin Jingrong: "Third sister, fourth sister, Yunmei."

  Lin Qi almost fell into Lin Yuzhen's arms, but fortunately managed to steady herself with Lin Liu's help. She turned around fiercely, only to see Lin Wu's small butt twisting back and forth. Although she felt resentful, she couldn't lose her temper in front of the guests, so she put on a bright smile again and continued to fawn over Old Lady Lin and Lin Yuzhen as if nothing had happened.

  Lin Wushang came forward, the first thing he did was not to get close to Lin Yan and Lin Jianrong sisters, but to warmly hold onto Lu Yun's arm, lowering his head to play with the embroidered pouch at Lu Yun's waist, smiling: "Yun younger sister, this lotus flower embroidered pouch is really exquisite, did you embroider it yourself?" Without waiting for Lu Yun to respond, he continued on his own: "I've long heard people say that your needlework is exceptional, taught by a famous family in Jiangnan, completely unlike my own clumsy self. This time when we have some free time, you must instruct me."

  An eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who doesn't like to be praised? Lu Yun covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Fifth sister is exaggerating, this thing was made by me, but it's not as good as you said?" The two of them, one flattering and the other pleased, quickly gathered together to whisper.

  Finally got rid of Lu Yun, Lin Jiner let out a light sigh. Originally the same kind of people, the same thing, but because of different moods, it was surprisingly a different taste when viewed again. She couldn't help but raise a question, back then, she didn't understand these flattering and fawning little tricks between sisters, and only acted on intuition. How did that her get Lin Yuzhen's favor? Moreover, there was also the Tao family who had a falling out with Lin Yuzhen in between. Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

  She didn't dare to think too much, the slight pain on her tongue tip was always reminding her that yesterday's affairs should not be left behind. Lin Wu and others liked to argue, so let them argue as fiercely as they wanted. She smiled lightly and let go, following Lin Jianyin, bringing Lin Shenzhi with her, quietly sitting down beside Tao Shi and Wu Shi, silently watching the commotion without mentioning it.

  Mrs. Lin's birthday celebration was extremely lively, with many relatives and friends coming from far and near. As time passed, the number of female guests in the hall increased, and it gradually became crowded to the point where even Lin Zhenrong and his sister had to give up their seats and stand aside.

  Taoye frowned and said, "What's going on here? If it was decided that someone should sit somewhere, they should be led to their seat. Why are you just leading them in like a flowing stream? How many people can fit in this room?" Then she asked Chunmeng, "What time is it now?"

  Chun Ya Dao: "It's already been decided."

  "That's about it."

  Just then, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Luo, the two wives of the Lin family, walked in side by side, dressed to the nines. They smiled as they greeted everyone, thanked them for coming to celebrate Old Lady Lin's birthday, and invited them to take their seats outside to watch the opera performance. Then, Mrs. Zhou led the way to receive guests, while Mrs. Luo and Lin Yuzhen supported Old Lady Lin on either side, with Lin Wujie and her sisters following closely behind Lian Yun, all of them surrounding Old Lady Lin in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they walked, creating a lively atmosphere.

  Tao's wife seemed like an extra, silently following behind. Her mother was like that, and Lin Jian Rong's sister and brother naturally followed suit, making it seem as if the third house was being isolated and left out. Wu Shi couldn't help but slightly furrow her brow, then poked Tao's wife: "On a day like today, you don't even go to help your two sisters-in-law with some chores, or show some filial piety in front of your mother-in-law?"

  Taoshi looked at her two sisters-in-law with disdain and said, "If they can gain favor by doing chores, let them do more to please the old lady. As for me, I'm too lazy to join in the bustle, it's better to avoid the commotion and enjoy some peace."

  "Wu was furious: 'You! You should think about your children if you won't even think about yourself.'"

  "Who can do anything to them? They are also the legitimate daughters and sons of the Lin family!" As she said this, she glanced at Lin Jianrong nervously and sighed in anger. With no one backing her up, what could she do? She couldn't even stand up for her daughter's rights. And as for trying to curry favor with her mother-in-law, whom she didn't like and who didn't like her either, that was something she just couldn't bring herself to do.

  Lin Jinrong couldn't help but understand Tao's feelings at this moment, and she smiled: "I don't like to squeeze with them, I just like to follow my mother and aunt."

  Just then, Wu Niangzi lightly shouted and stopped, letting her servant girl help her put on her shoes. It turned out that one of the twins had stepped on her shoe again. This delay caused Wu Niangzi to fall behind the main group once more. Standing still, she tearfully scolded and beat her servant girl to vent her anger.

  The lady in front, Mrs. Zhou, heard the noise and turned her head around, coldly scanning the twins and Madame Luo with a glance, sternly staring at Fifth Sister, who immediately withdrew her fist, standing there with a wronged expression, not daring to cry or make a fuss, only able to sniffle in frustration, her shoulders shaking slightly. Xiner softly consoled her for two sentences, but was glared at fiercely by her, scaring him into silence.

  Lin Yuzhen seemed to casually turn her head and take a glance, but pretended not to see anything, turning her head back as usual, smiling and chatting with Lin Lao Tai and Luo Shi without mentioning it. Lin Jirong saw it in his eyes and had some understanding. Lin Yuzhen appeared to be ignoring everything, but was actually quietly observing their virtues, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, like the twins and Lin Wu's behavior, and thought that just hiding might not work.

  Mrs. Tao couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude, raised her chin slightly and whispered to Mrs. Wu: "Look, what a fragrant pastry!" Although Lu Xian was indeed not bad, the two concubines and the first wife were too eager, teaching their young daughters to fight for attention in front of people, stepping on each other's feet. It looked good now, but in the long run, what benefits would it bring to the girls? Was this how a noble lady should be raised? She was said to have a bad temper and be violent, but her character was much more noble than these people, and her children were not as unruly, but rather quiet and well-behaved.

  Wu also knew about the alliance between the Lin and Lu families. Upon hearing this, she looked at Lin Jing again and responded with a noncommittal tone.

  Huang Yiniang, who had been quietly observing like an invisible person, gently pushed Lin Jingrong and said with a smile: "After all, Fifth Young Miss is still young, Fourth Young Miss can just coax her."

  This time, Huang Yiniang was kind-hearted. A spoiled and willful little girl had just suffered a loss and was crying. Lin Jinnong went to comfort her, and his gentle and understanding image emerged. Unfortunately, Lin Jinnong didn't take the bait, and what he feared most was being seen by Lin Yujuan. He smiled sideways: "She's still in a huff, if I go over, she'll probably scold me instead."

  Lin Jinyin, being the elder sister, smiled and said: "Then I'll go, it's not good to let others see us like this." She immediately went forward, took Lin Wu's hand, and whispered a few words of comfort. Lin Wu wiped away her tears and obediently followed Lin Jinyin and the other two as they continued on their way.

  At this time, Huang's good nature was revealed. With a few gentle and soft words, she teased Lin Wu into breaking into laughter and becoming happy again. Rubbing his eyes, he said: "You're still better than some people..." Xiner lightly coughed, and only then did he stop talking, but his face was still full of resentment, and he stomped his feet heavily.

  Lin Jinrong saw that the delicate yellow satin shoes with intricate designs on Lin Wu's feet were dirty and had footprints all over them. She also felt that the twins were being too excessive, and secretly thought that if they knew the truth about this man, would they still be fighting over him like sisters?

  But Lin Wu's eyes rolled around, and he gently scratched the palm of her hand, sticking to her ear root and whispering: "Fourth sister, have you seen Lu's second brother?"

  Lin Jian quietly looked at Lin Wu, Lin Wu alone could not fight against the twins, and had to pull her in as a helper.

  This is an opportunity.

  Since hiding alone is not enough, she only has two ways to go. One is to make every effort to make one of the three sisters and Lu Xuan form a marriage, which only needs to follow the trend and does not require much effort; the other is to let Lin Yuzhen or Lu Xuan hate herself, this requires careful planning, and also takes the risk of self-defilement.

  Which path to take? Lin Jinyong unconsciously tightened his grip on the fan handle. Undoubtedly, the first path was the safest and most effective. Anyway, as long as she didn't marry Lu Xian, one of her three cousins would inevitably have to marry, with the same result. Anyway, all three cousins were more cunning than her, and their parents were also helpful, perhaps they wouldn't suffer like her after getting married, living a bitter life. She just needed to agree with Lin Wu, wait for an opportunity to gently push... and she would be done once and for all, no longer having to worry.

  "Fourth sister! I'm asking you something! Have you ever seen it or not?" Fifth girl saw Lin Jianrong staring at herself, hesitated and didn't speak, feeling a bit embarrassed, thinking that her little thoughts had been seen through.

  The fifth girl was embarrassed and was calculating, Lin Jianrong, who was not used to doing such things, was also nervous, and in a moment of surprise, he blurted out: "I've seen it."

  With such a strange expression, could it be that Lin Si has also taken a liking to Lu Xian? Lin Wu narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Jianrong with suspicion and inquiry, then a "I've got you" smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he pointed at Lin Jianrong: "Hmph... I know one of your secrets... hurry up and confess!"

  The thief shouted to catch the thief, Lin Jin smiled calmly: "I don't know what secrets I have, Fifth Sister said come and listen?"
