♂?，，

  Yao's mother came to deliver food, and heard Yinliu say that the one who made Ye's family noisy was Lin Lan. She didn't believe it at first, but when she saw Lin Lan, she couldn't help but believe it.

  "Lin Lan, what's going on? How is it related to Young Master Ming Yu..." Yao Mama was shocked and puzzled.

  Lin Lan smiled bitterly, did she have to explain it to everyone?

  "This... is a long story, let's eat first." Even if I have to explain, I should fill my stomach first!

  "Miss, I'm coming!"

  Saying that, she carefully arranged Lin Lan's bowl and chopsticks, and placed the dishes: "Miss, take your time."

  Lin Lan smiled and nodded, the silver willow's attitude was very good! However, whether she could stay or not was still uncertain, Old Lady Ye looked really angry, probably Li Xiūcái would be dragged away for another lecture.

  Lin Lan picked up her bowl and chopsticks just as she was about to eat when a burst of bright laughter came from outside.

  "Where is he? Hurry up and take me to see..."

  Lin Lan was shocked. The Ye family seemed very strict and dignified. The old lady was stern, the servants were cautious, who dared to laugh so loudly?

  Yin Liu heard the sound and quietly reminded: "It's the second madam who has arrived."

  Second lady? So it's Li Xiūcái's aunt.

  Just as Lin Lan had smoothed out the relationship, a woman with a head full of pearls and jade, plump skin, wearing a apricot-colored embroidered silk jacket with floral patterns, about forty years old, walked in with a smile.

  His gaze shifted slightly and fixed on Lin Lan, sizing her up from head to toe.

  Lin Lan felt embarrassed by her gaze, put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and gave a courtesy to the second lady. Ye Zi slowly...

  The second lady smiled before speaking: "This appearance is really handsome, it doesn't look like a village girl at all. If you dress up properly, you can even pretend to be the daughter of a county magistrate."

  Lin Lan didn't like hearing this, what's with pretending to be the prefecture master's daughter? She thought about how in her past life she was born into a wealthy family, received the best education, and walked the path of both beauty and elegance. Now, due to circumstances, she had no choice but to use some unconventional methods. If she wanted to, she could be gentle and obedient, becoming a virtuous and elegant lady.

  However, looking at the second lady's smiling eyes, there was only novelty and fondness, without any disdain. It seemed that she truly admired her. Lin Lan calmed down and looked at the second lady with a pair of bright and shining eyes, smiling warmly.

  Looking at her slightly shy expression, the second lady laughed even more happily and warmly pulled Lin Lan's hand, saying: "It is said that one thing can subdue another. I often think that my nephew who always puts on a hypocritical face will find someone to tame him in the future. I didn't expect it to be like this, it's really wonderful."

  Lin Lan was puzzled, where did this second wife's enthusiasm come from? Didn't she despise her own background? Moreover, she hadn't even gotten the approval of Old Lady Ye yet, and even if she had, there was still the hurdle of Old Man Ye to clear! How dare Second Wife rush ahead of Second Elder to curry favor?

  "Second Aunt, when did I pretend to be serious? You say that, Lin Lan will misunderstand." Li Ming allowed walked in with a furrowed brow, his eyes slightly helpless.

  Lin Lan saw that he had changed into a moon-white dark-patterned brocade straight shirt, with a green silk belt around his waist, and a piece of jade on the belt, making him look exceptionally handsome and elegant, indeed clothes make the man.

  The second lady smiled and said: "If you want me not to speak ill of Lin Lan, then have Second Uncle write a plaque for the new shop in Wuzhou Prefecture."

  Li Mingyu looked at Lin Lan with a thoughtful expression, his voice neither high nor low: "Lin Lan should get some new clothes that are more suitable for her status. If the niece-in-law of the Ye family is too shabby, people will laugh at us."

  Lin Lan glared over, had he taken the wrong medicine? What Ye family niece-in-law, did Old Lady Ye agree to this? Was she supposed to shamelessly cling on here?

  Li Mingyun's dissatisfaction with Lin Lan was invisible, but he looked at his aunt with profound meaning.

  The second lady raised an eyebrow and said in a clear voice, "You're underestimating your aunt. Is your aunt the kind of petty person? Turn around and take Lin Lan to the shop, choose good materials, pick good styles, four sets for each season, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, plus a set of Rui Fu Xiang gold and silver jewelry, is that enough?"

  Lin Lan secretly cursed, without mentioning the sixteen new clothes, just Rui Fu Xiang's gold and silver jewelry was worth several hundred taels, this aunt was too generous!

  Li Mingyun smiled warmly and said with a bow: "Mingyun will deliver the letter tomorrow."

  Although the second lady was straightforward and not petty, she felt somewhat resentful that so much money had to be spent on a single character, so she jokingly said: "Ming Rong! It's a pity you didn't go into business. If you abandoned literature for commerce, the title of number one merchant in the land would surely belong to you."

  Li Mingyun smiled blandly and said, "Aunt is overpraising me."

  The second lady smiled and whispered to Lin Lan: "Don't be fooled by his elegant and honest appearance, he's actually very cunning..."

  Lin Lan glanced at Li Mingyun, who looked slightly embarrassed, and greatly agreed in her heart that this guy was absolutely a master of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

  Li Mingyun clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, clearing his throat twice.

  "Alright, alright! I won't disturb the young couple's intimacy anymore. Everyone else, follow me and withdraw!"

  Lin Lan was shocked again by her second aunt's straightforward words. Weren't the women of ancient wealthy families all reserved? They didn't show their feet when walking, nor did they show their teeth when smiling, and they were cautious in their speech and actions. Was this second aunt also a time-traveler?

  In an instant, the house was left with only Lin Lan and Li Mingyun.

  "Don't mind her, Second Aunt is from a martial arts background and speaks her mind, but she's actually very kind." Li Mingyu explained.

  So that's how it is! I thought I had finally met someone of the same kind! Lin Lan felt a little disappointed.

  "Has Zhang Da Hu come to make trouble?" Lin Lan was a bit embarrassed due to her second aunt's joking words earlier, so she found a topic to change the atmosphere.

  "He's here, but I had my grandfather get rid of him." Li Mingyun said lightly.

  Lin Lan was very interested and asked: "How did you get rid of him? Was there a fight?"

  Li Mingyun saw the excited light in her eyes, slightly raised an eyebrow and calmly said: "My grandfather never quarrels with anyone."

  Lin Lan nodded understandingly and said with a self-satisfied smile: "Persuade people with reason, persuade people with virtue, right?"

  Li Mingyun thought for a moment with his ear sideways, and it seemed that his maternal grandfather was also not a reasonable person, but he just doted on his grandson.

  Never seen Zhang Dahu eating a humble meal, it's indeed a regrettable thing.

  "Hey! My grandma offered me 100 taels of silver to leave, I refused. She asked me to name a price myself, but I still didn't agree. How about that? Am I not being very righteous?" Lin Lan said with a smirk.

  Li Mingyun couldn't help but smile and nodded his head, saying "Not bad."

  "What's wrong with that? It's more than okay, I don't know how strict my grandmother is, but I'm holding on tight. However, she seems to be quite angry with me, and I'm afraid she'll send someone to scold me soon." Lin Lan muttered.

  "No." Li Mingyun sat down in front of a round marble table with a waist-high belt and mud support.

  Lin Lan was taken aback: "Won't she? So sure? Can you guarantee that my grandmother won't drive me away?"

  "No." Li Ming's calm tone exuded confidence and determination.

  Lin Lan pouted: "Anyway, I've done what I'm supposed to do, whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me."

  Li Mingyun thought of his grandmother's evaluation of Lin Lan...thick-skinned and big-hearted...and couldn't help but be surprised and laugh.

  Lin Lan glared at him: "What's so funny?"

  Li Mingyu hastily suppressed his smile, picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table, and said seriously: "Nothing to laugh about, Grandma said it's very good."

  He wouldn't dare tell Lin Lan that eight-character evaluation, and if she got annoyed and washed her hands of it, things would get messy.

  Lin Lan was stunned. Did Old Lady Ye say she was fine? Was there a mistake? Had she been driven mad by her anger?

  In a daze, she saw Li Mingyuan eating from the bowl of rice that belonged to her. Lin Lan rushed over: "This is my rice..."
