What does she want as a thank you gift? She wants Lu Xian and Lin Yuzhen to be estranged from each other! She wants them all to have a hard time! This, Lu Xian cannot give her. Lin Jirong pushed back: "What does it have to do with me? I just told the fifth sister one sentence of truth. Who can't you ask?"

  Lin Jinrong not only didn't take credit, but also had a hint of clearing herself, Lin Wu was overjoyed and personally placed Lin Jinrong's favorite milk lamb meat on the plate in front of her, smiling: "Fourth sister, you eat." Although it wasn't convenient to explicitly express gratitude, it clearly showed affection.

  The twins stopped flattering Lu Yun immediately and looked at them suspiciously, wondering what they were secretly plotting.

  Lin Jianrong just kept her head down and ate, several times Lin Wu excitedly wanted to talk to her, she just gestured, indicating that food is not spoken, sleep is not spoken. Although Lin Wu bumped into the wall a few times, thinking that she didn't talk much since she came, and followed the rules, so he gave up.

  Lu Yun saw Lin Jiner eating deliciously, so she also let the maid follow the same menu to give her: "Really so delicious? I'll try it?" And curiously asked Lin Jiner: "Fourth sister, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

  She was a guest, and Lin Jianrong didn't want to answer, so he just smiled faintly: "If you really want to gain weight, even drinking water will make you fat. I'm not forcing you, nor am I being greedy, don't worry."

  Lin Wu covered his mouth and looked at the originally plump twins, laughing: "That's right, some people are so eager to drink water all day, they'll even get fat."

  Lin Qi's eyes widened, about to explode, Lin Liu pulled her, hinting that Lu Yun was watching from the side, losing face. Lin Qi then barely held back her temper, pretending not to have heard.

  Lin Wu Xiaodi was pleased with himself for a moment.

  On the chairman's side, it was a lively time. Lin Yuzhen, after all, was someone who had seen the world outside and was leading a group of people to persuade Lin Lao to drink and laugh with her clever words, easily creating a lively atmosphere, making Lin Lao smile from ear to ear, pointing at her and laughing: "You little monkey, even as a mother you're still so mischievous."

  Lu Dian also rushed in hastily at this time.

  Lin Jianrong, who had been secretly paying attention all along, immediately put down his chopsticks, took a handkerchief and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, waiting to see the show.

  Lu Jian was indeed Lu Jian, even if he had made such a big mistake, even if he saw the different expressions of the crowd, even if he saw Lin Yuzhen's suddenly stiff face, he still remained calm and silent, without any panic on his face, quietly and steadily walking towards Old Lady Lin.

  Mrs. Song, the second wife of the Lu family, smiled and loudly called out to him: "Second Brother, we're over here." As soon as she shouted, Lu Xian became the brightest presence in the room, and everyone's laughter suddenly subsided, all turning to look at him and Lin Yuzhen.

  At this moment, Lin Yu Zhen's face became even more rigid, and the smile could no longer be maintained. Lin Jin Rong clearly saw her eyebrows twitching uncontrollably a few times, with anger and humiliation bursting out of her eyes, and her lips pursed tightly, looking like she wanted to erupt but couldn't, with an unspeakable sense of suffocation.

  Isn't it enough to be ashamed of? The aunt who loves to lie and is vain, with a narrow heart. She's really satisfied with this thank-you gift. A bookworm becoming obsessed with chess is indeed a very elegant foolish thing, if it were her own child, she would only scold a few words, but since it's not her own child, unintentionally it becomes intentional. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but feel a wave of pleasure.

  Lu Yun let out a low "ah" and put down her chopsticks, getting up to stop Lu Xuan.

  It's no wonder that the mother and daughter are embarrassed. Just now, when they were paying their respects, Lu Xian was absent due to illness, and Lin Yuzhen had personally told everyone that he wasn't feeling well, so she let him leave early. Lu Yun had even spoken on his behalf, offering words of respect to Old Lady Lin. But now, in front of all these people, Lu Xian has appeared, standing spiritedly before the crowd, effectively exposing the lie that Lin Yuzhen had told to save face. How could they not be embarrassed?

  Lin Wu originally had a self-satisfied smile on his face as he watched everything, but seeing the situation, he also put away his smile and secretly asked Lin Jianrong: "What's wrong? What's wrong? It seems that Auntie doesn't seem too happy? And Yunmei doesn't seem quite right either."

  "I don't know, Eldest Brother Lu made a mistake, Auntie will probably be a bit angry." Lin Jing Rong leaned against her cheek and blinked. As the saying goes, "those who cheat will not live", if Lin Yu Zhen had been honest and told the truth without trying to save face, how would she have been exposed for lying and lost face? She didn't think that with so many people coming in and out today, Lu Xian and Wu Xiang hiding in the pavilion playing chess and forgetting to come and pay their respects was something that could be hidden?

  Lu Yun hastily ran to Lu Xian's side, concerned and reminded him: "Brother, aren't you feeling unwell? Why did you come again?" Then she whispered: "Didn't you meet the people Mother sent to find you?"

  Lu Xian followed Lin Wupai's people to take a shortcut, how could he meet the people sent by Lin Yuzhen to find him? But now it's useless to say these things. He just looked at Lu Yun gently and didn't answer, nor did he use a cushion, he lifted his robe and gave Lin Lao Tai a bow, saying loudly: "Grandmother, grandson is here to wish you a happy birthday."

  Lin Lao Tai was also a person who attached great importance to face, although she was very unhappy in her heart, but after all, she had to take care of her beloved daughter's dignity, so she said warmly: "Get up quickly, get up quickly. You child, since you're not feeling well, you should go rest, why did you come again? Family members, no need to be so careful?"

  Lu Xian just smiled faintly: "My grandson came specifically to wish you a happy birthday, and he's uneasy if he doesn't kowtow."

  Lu Yun looked at Lin Yuzhen's expression and smiled: "Brother is just such a serious character."

  It's not like she raised him herself, and yet he comes back after just a few days? And he chooses this time to put on airs in front of her! This little beast, really didn't show his true colors until now! All those years of teaching and nurturing him, and this is how he repays her? Is it because he's been harboring resentment for so long, and was instigated by someone else, that he forgot who he owes his success to? Lin Yuzhen's anger was burning fiercely in her heart, not only was she furious with Lu Xian, but also hated "that person" to the core. Forcing a smile that was as ugly as it could be, she stiffly said: "Since you've already paid your respects to your great aunt, then go take a rest." Even though she tried her best to conceal it, anyone could see her displeasure and anger.

  "Yes, Mother." Lu Xian lowered his hands and bowed slightly with half-lowered eyelids before quietly retreating. As he reached the door, he suddenly spun around, and his pale green bamboo-leaf robe quickly disappeared from view at the entrance.

  "Brother!" Lu Yun also didn't care about eating anymore and hurriedly chased after him.

  There was an underlying unhappiness and stiffness between the mother and son that anyone with eyes could see.

  Lin Wu and the twins were all stunned, the twins kept thinking that Wu Xiang had wronged Lu Jian, Lin Qi even said that Wu Xiang was a jinx.

  Lin Wu was getting anxious, tugging at Lin Jinrong's sleeve and whispering: "Fourth sister, did I do a good deed but end up with bad results? If only I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let them go call him, and Auntie wouldn't have lost face in public and vented her anger on him. Alas, will he blame me?" Just now when she sent someone to call Lu Dian, she specifically instructed them to make sure he knew it was her who had sent the person, that it was a favor from her.

  Lin Jinyong lowered his eyes and said, "You can rest assured, you are kind-hearted, he won't blame you." But what magic did Lu Xuan have on him? Why did these three sisters only think of him when they saw him? Although they knew he was an adopted son with an awkward status, they still tried every means to get his favor. It was true that he was handsome and elegant, looking refined and scholarly, and had talent. Perhaps it was because he thought that even without relying on his parents, he would eventually make a name for himself, so what woman wouldn't love him?

  She closed her eyes, what's the point of smiling at others? At that time, she was young, but she also secretly liked him. Can't say why she likes him, it's just that when there's nothing to do, she wants to take a few more glances at him, and the more she looks, the more she thinks about it.

  The Lu family proposed the marriage, and Tao's situation was extremely difficult, so she happily agreed. Although she also worried about Lu Xian's identity, marrying into a good family might not be easy to bear, but after careful consideration, she was still very happy. She naively thought that Lin Yu Zhen was her aunt, they shared the same bloodline, and Lin Yu Zhen wouldn't be too harsh on her. Lu Xian was gentle and elegant, not a frivolous or malicious person, and the two families were already connected by marriage. As long as she treated them sincerely, how could she not have a good life? Moreover, it would also alleviate her mother's and seventh brother's situation, why not do it?

  Who would have thought that she would end up like this? Squeezed between Lu Xian's biological parents and adoptive parents, struggling to make ends meet; squeezed between her husband and her aunt, unable to advance or retreat. Her closest aunt was precisely the one with the narrowest mind, who criticized her the most, and looked down on her the most; she thought that her gentle and refined husband, who was not a violent or cruel person, would be the one who treated her with the utmost coldness, and pierced her heart the most. He had never hit her, nor had he ever insulted her, he just ignored her, and when he said something heavy to her once, it was probably when their child died, he stared at her with bloodshot eyes for a long time, only saying: "I really regret letting you give birth to him." This sentence destroyed all her self-esteem and confidence, and she didn't bother to say another word to him. But even so, in the end, he took her to Jiang Shen Temple, and when they were about to escape together, she easily forgave him.

  Is there anyone more self-abased than her? Lin Jinrong lightly turned the small ceramic wine cup in front of her, and drank the honey wine in one gulp. The honey wine was sweet, but after all, it was wine, and her already injured tongue suddenly felt scorching pain, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, smiling as she said: "It's killing me. I bit my tongue."

  Even drinking can bite her tongue? Lin Jinyan looked at her in surprise, worriedly touching her forehead: "Are you not feeling well yet? If you're not comfortable, just go back and rest first. I'll go talk to your grandmother, no one will blame you."

  But after a small cup of honey wine, Lin Jinyong felt a bit dizzy. She leaned softly against Lin Jinyin's body and said in a low voice: "Sister, I'm fine, let me stay with you for a while longer. I really like being with my sister."

  Lin Jinyan touched her face and said lovingly, "You silly girl, your sister is right next to you, why don't you move over and live with me at night?"
