Chapter 108: The Strange Girl

  Update 2

  Lin's mother saw the situation and worriedly said, "Isn't that peace charm ineffective? Fourth Miss, if you're not feeling well, let Man Shuang take you back to the manor!"

  Man Shuang and Man Hua made gestures to help.

  Lin Zhaoyan waved his hand to open theirs, suppressing the growing fear in his heart, saying: "Don't worry, I'm fine, just a cold wind blew by and my body felt chilly, that's all."

  She finally got a little clue with great difficulty, how can she avoid it? She can't make random guesses, she must investigate clearly!

  Xue Su was clearly Qin Yuxue's maid, so how did she become the young mistress's maid in her dream? There must be something wrong somewhere!

  "Lin Si, is there something wrong with being my maid?" Qin Yuxue looked at her with a worried face, her eyes filled with concern.

  As soon as she thought that she might be the one who had an affair with her own brother and even caused her sister-in-law's death, she felt a wave of nausea.

  I hope she didn't guess it right.

  "Zhaoyan, sister? Are you really okay? If you're not feeling well, don't be stubborn, you can go back to the manor first, I won't blame you." Zhou Wanyu was still worried, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

  Lin Zhaoyan turned his head to face her, suppressing the fear in his eyes that shone like crystal, and forced a reassuring smile. "I'm fine, don't worry about me, you go with Miss Qin quickly!"

  "Are you really okay?"

  "I'm really fine."

  Zhou Wanyu finally felt at ease and pulled Qin Yuxue towards the direction of the painting boat.

  Qin Yuxue's eyebrows were tightly knotted as she looked back at Lin Zhaoyan with three steps and one glance.

  She always felt that there was something wrong with this Lin Si, why did she look at her with such an unfriendly gaze when they had just met for the first time?

  Xue Su didn't dare look at Lin Zhao Yan for even a moment and kept a distance of several feet from her.

  I always feel that Miss Lin Si is a bit mysterious, I wonder if she has any ill intentions?

  Zhou Jingyu watched this farce with a cold eye and sneered: "The sisters of the Lin family are not one who is frugal."

  "You!" Lin Ruoyan wanted to get angry.

  Lin Zhaoyan pulled her back in time and shook his head at her, "In public, think thrice before acting."

  Lin Ruoyan had no choice but to give up.

  Fortunately, Zhou Jingyu didn't bother to entangle either, and coldly snorted before instructing the maid beside her, "The Sixth Miss and the others will be a while, let's go for a stroll elsewhere!" And with that, she quickly disappeared from the scene.

  "Pshaw, what's there to be proud of! You really think you're the best! Lin Ruoyan muttered in a huff and pulled Lin Zhaoyan's hand, "Let's go somewhere else for a stroll, they'll need some time."

  Lin Zhao Yan had his mind preoccupied with that matter in his dream, but didn't want to spoil Lin Ruo Yan's mood, so he simply nodded in response.

  The streets of Qiqiao City were bustling with people, and all sorts of handmade lanterns and decorations filled the eyes. Lin Zhaoyan was pulled by Lin Ruoyan, strolling here and there, watching her laugh with joy, while he himself was distracted.

  Is that Snow White really the maid in my dream?

  If so, then who is that lady?

  It can't be Zhou Wan Yu, right?

  Before she could make sense of anything, a commotion broke her train of thought. She then heard Lin Ruoyan exclaiming in her ear, "It's the entrance to Drunken Blossom House that's causing a ruckus! Hey, let's go take a look!"

  Drunken Flower Pavilion

  Lin Zhaoyan reacted quickly and grabbed her, "Is that a place you can go to?!" His expression was quite serious.

  Lin's mother and the others had long been shaken off by Lin Ruoyan after being dragged around for a few rounds, now there was not even a single maid beside them, she couldn't let Lin Ruoyan do as she pleased.

  Lin Ruoyan gave her a white eye, "You're always so timid, you don't go and I'll go!" After finishing speaking, she shook off her hand and was about to leave.

  Lin Zhaoyan looked at the crowd of people packed tightly in three layers, both inside and outside, not far away from him, and knew that something big must have happened. Lin Ruoyan's impulsive nature had gotten her into some kind of trouble again!

  Lin Zhaoyan quickly caught up with her, nagging, "Just watch from the side, and when we know what's going on, we'll go back. I'm sure Miss Zhou's side is already over."

  "How did you become as nagging as Lin's mom?!" Lin Ruoyan looked impatient, but eventually nodded in agreement, "Alright, alright, I'll just take a look!"

  Lin Zhaoyan sighed.

  She really owed it to her in her past life!

  The two squeezed into the crowd, because there were too many onlookers, and they couldn't see what was happening at all, only hearing waves of angry roars coming from the center of the crowd.

  "You little pretty face, you don't have money but dare to come to Drunken Flower House, and you didn't even ask what kind of place this is!"

  "How dare you see Miss Mo Fang, it's really a toad thinking of eating swan meat! Come on! Since he has no silver, let's treat him as a punching bag for us brothers to vent our anger!"

  Lin Ruoyan was curious to death, but couldn't squeeze in, so she grabbed a woman who was watching from the front and asked: "What's going on?"

  That woman was also a gossip, and as soon as Lin Ruoyan asked her, she started talking rapidly like pouring beans, "Eh, it's just a young master who came to the Drunken Flower Pavilion looking for Miss Mo Xiang. Who is Miss Mo Xiang? Is she someone ordinary people can meet? But that young master was insistent and demanded to see Miss Mo Xiang. Later, the madam intervened and asked him to pay 10,000 taels of silver to see Miss Mo Xiang. Who knew, he didn't even have a single copper coin on him, not even enough to pay for the meal! He was beaten out of there! Tsk tsk, what a pity, judging from his clothes, he must be quite handsome, but how could his brain be so useless?"

  "Ten thousand taels?" Lin Ruoyan's eyes widened in shock, "Just to meet him, do they need that much silver? Do they know how much ten thousand taels is?"

  "Miss, you're not from around here, are you? Mo Fang is a renowned beauty in the capital city, with all the young masters flocking to her like bees to honey. She's as elusive as a fairy, and rumor has it that she's the mistress of the Second Prince and will become an imperial concubine in the future!"

  Lin Ruoyan wasn't unfamiliar with Mo Shuang, she just never paid attention to her. In her proud worldview, a courtesan, no matter how beautiful she looked, was beneath her notice.

  Moreover, the men of Jian'an Marquis's household are all honest and self-disciplined, and have never been heard to have any entanglements with courtesan girls, so they naturally wouldn't pay attention to these things.

  At this moment, listening to the aunt praising a courtesan to the sky and earth, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Are you dreaming? A courtesan, you are really shameless." She felt that there was no common language with these ignorant common people.

  A courtesan girl, it's already difficult for her to enter an ordinary family as a concubine, let alone marry a prince? It's simply unimaginable!
