Chapter Eighty-One: Carefree

  Mrs. Jia had always been very fond of Wang Xifeng, and seeing her walk into Rongxi Hall, she said with a mixture of jest and seriousness: "Yuer, this is our family's notorious vixen; your eldest uncle's wife, the second sister-in-law of the Lian household."

  Lin Daiyu had already been introduced to the temperaments of several masters in Rongguo Mansion by Lin Ruhai before she arrived at Rongguo Mansion.

  She had long known that her cousin Jia Lian's wife was the niece of her second uncle's family; it sounded good to say that this was a good thing with kinship added to kinship, but who knew the dirty things behind?

  However, for Jia Yuanchun, who had been treated as a boy since childhood and was raised in her lap, Lin Daiyu could be said to have been famous for a long time; all of this is thanks to Lin Ruolan, because Lin Ruolan liked the role of Wang Xifeng played by Deng Cui in her previous life very much; she couldn't help but mention it twice in front of Lin Daiyu, who would have thought that this little girl actually remembered it.

  "Second Sister-in-law is great!" Lin Daiyu stood up and gave a slight curtsy to Wang Xifeng.

  Wang Xifeng was able to navigate the Rongguo Mansion with ease, and her ability to read people's words and expressions could be considered top-notch; she naturally saw that Lin Daiyu was not ordinary, and also sensed the faint aura of a celestial being on her.

  Wang Xifeng warmly grasped Lin Daiyu's hand and carefully examined her before heaving a long sigh: "Goodness... it's really true that there are girls as lovely as this in the world; just look at how she's dressed and her whole demeanor, truly like an immortal descended to earth. How could she be the Old Ancestor's granddaughter? She must be his own daughter."

  Wang Xifeng's words were not exaggerated, Lin Rulan had already heard about the Rongguo Mansion; this family was known for being superficial and self-interested. Before leaving the house today, she specifically instructed Bai Zhi to dress up Lin Daiyu nicely.

  At first glance, Lin Daiyu's attire doesn't seem impressive, but every single accessory on her is a top-notch treasure; it's not just that you have money, even if you're an emperor, you won't be able to find many identical items under the sky.

  Let's not talk about other things, just take the pale blue bead the size of an egg hanging from her chest. This is said to be the mermaid's tear, and it's impossible to find another one like it in the world; this thing can also serve as a night light at night, and it's said that besides having the effect of detoxifying all poisons, wearing it every day also has the miraculous effect of preserving one's youth.

  Cough, cough... a bit off topic, Lin Meimei is still just a little yellow-haired girl at this age; what a joke! This mermaid's tear was brought out from the Yin Yue Imperial Court on the seventh night of the seventh month and given to Lin Ruolan as part of her betrothal gift.

  Now Lin Ruolan instructed Bai Zhi to put it on Lin Daiyu's body, just to prevent Jia Baoyu from going back and having another fit of hysteria; lest he would go crazy again and smash the jade.

  Lady Wang's words obviously pleased Old Lady Jia, who couldn't help but laugh and scold her with a glance: "You little monkey, your mouth is really something that makes people both angry and lovable."

  "This is... a demonic aura?" As Wang Xifeng walked past Lin Ruo Lan's side, she couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth; if she hadn't sniffed wrongly just now, when Wang Xifeng had just passed by her own side, Lin Ruo Lan clearly smelled a faint and elusive whiff of demonic aura.

  This aura is extremely faint, so faint that if one doesn't pay close attention, it would be easily missed; if Lin Ruolan's current cultivation hadn't reached the late Gold Core stage of the Great Circle of Completion, it would have been impossible to detect.

  This isn't saying that the opponent's cultivation is particularly formidable, but rather that they aren't simply a demonic body; if she hasn't guessed wrong, then the opponent has seized control of Wang Xifeng's body. Moreover, because this child already has a fetus inside, the demonic energy and nature within their body have become increasingly faint.

  Hehe…… This Rongguo Mansion seems to be getting more and more interesting, Lin Ruolan's face hidden behind the veil; burst out a touch of absolute beauty smile, unfortunately, this moment was covered by the veil; no one has the good fortune to see that beautiful scenery.

  It's not clear if Lin Ruolan's presence was really low to the extreme, but Wang Xifeng had already been in Rongxi Hall for more than half a day; and yet she still hadn't discovered Lin Ruolan sitting quietly on one side.

  Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu, the two maidservants, were not in Rong Xitang at this time. If they were, there would definitely be a commotion. Lin Ruolan was not very concerned about these things, on the contrary, she was happy to be carefree.

  However, Wang Xifeng's negligence did not mean that Lin Daiyu would also neglect it: "Second sister-in-law, this is Yu'er's aunt!"

  Due to Lin Ruo Lan's special identity, when Lin Dai Yu introduced her aunt to Wang Xue Feng, she couldn't help but be a bit vague in her words.

  However, when Wang Xifeng turned around, she suddenly froze; although Wang Xifeng's distraction was brief, it was just a fleeting moment; Lin Ruolan saw clearly, and she didn't miss the instant when Wang Xifeng turned around and saw her own shock flashing in her eyes.

  A hint of amusement flashed in Lin Ruolan's eyes, hehe... it was indeed very interesting. Lin Ruolan found that this Rongguo Mansion seemed to have many interesting things; unfortunately, she didn't have time recently, otherwise, she would really like to stay and take a look at the excitement.

  Shocked... it's not just shocked! It's simply a shocking and stunning combination, with some tension and fear!

  At this moment, Wang Xifeng is the nine-tailed fox Qingling who has been possessed. The people in Rongguo Mansion may not be able to see it with their mortal eyes; although Wang Xifeng is no longer a pure demon, she still has some spiritual power left; Wang Xifeng noticed the faint spiritual energy emanating from Lin Ruolan's clothes at a glance.

  Damn it!

  It turned out to be the Protective Treasure Robe, and Wang Xifeng couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly; she didn't see what kind of protective treasure robe Lin Ruo Lan was wearing? Not to mention that with her current tiny ability, even when she was still the Nine-Tailed Fox Qingling, she didn't have the skill to see what kind of treasure Lin Ruo Lan was wearing.

  It was precisely because of this that Wang Xifeng unconsciously had a bit more apprehension in her heart towards Lin Rulan, and the way she looked at Lin Rulan also became somewhat subtle.

  Wang Xifeng's mind involuntarily flashed with the news she had heard from others in Rongguo Mansion, saying that her own aunt, Lin's sister, had been taken by the old immortal Qingweizi as a disciple to the fairy mountain since childhood.

  Before today, Wang Xifeng had some doubts about this statement; however, what about now? Hehe... it seems that she has to reevaluate Lin Ruolan again. It turns out that the rumor is actually true; this seemingly delicate girl in front of her is indeed a cultivator.

  Restricted by her own body being a usurped one, after listening to Lin Daiyu's introduction; Wang Xifeng couldn't help but hesitate, should she or shouldn't she go forward and greet the other party?

  Nor did she know how deep the other party's cultivation was. Wang Xifeng's eyebrows flashed with a hint of difficulty, what if the other party detected her demonic energy? Although this body wasn't very much to her liking, but just like that letting her give up; Wang Xifeng really had an unresigned heart and couldn't bear to part with it.

  But fortunately, Lao Tai Tai's words helped Wang Xifeng out of the predicament: "Has Lin Daiyu's luggage been moved in? And as she is still young, it would be best to arrange for a few more servants to attend to her; Yuanyang, hurry and have someone clean up the room next to my wife's, and then Lin Daiyu can move in with my wife in Ronggui Hall; old people like me love lively places, Lan Daiyu shouldn't object, should she?"

  Mrs. Jia called out the name of her maid, Yuanyang, and instructed her to do something, while smiling at Lin Ruo-lan and saying: "And what about you?"

  Lin Ruo Lan really didn't expect that Old Lady Jia would be so calculating; she didn't even ask herself a single question, and yet she took it upon herself to make the decision; probably thinking that she could just act first and report later, planning to wait until everything was settled before letting Lin Ruo Lan know, making it difficult for her to refuse.

  Tsk, tsk…… This old Mrs. Jia is already quite advanced in age, yet she's still as energetic as ever; with a burst of rapid-fire speech, she rattled off such a long passage without even pausing for breath; it's really hard not to admire her.

  It's just a pity that Old Lady Jia's abacus was indeed well-played, but unfortunately she faced Lin Ruo-lan and Lin Dai-yu these two aunt and niece; it was destined that her thoughts today would be in vain.

  But what was greatly beyond Old Lady Jia's expectations was that the first person to jump out and object was not Lin Ruo Lan, but her own dear granddaughter, hehe... it really was quite unexpected!

  Lin Daiyu immediately stopped upon hearing what Old Lady Jia had to say, and from then on she was completely uninterested in the Rongguo House or this large group of women who claimed to be her relatives; including even her own grandmother standing before her.

  Nowadays, Lin Meimei is no longer the original Lin Meimei who would cry and get sentimental at the drop of a hat; after having a special aunt like Lin Ruolan, if Lin Meimei still remained the same as in the original work, always crying and being melancholic, then Lin Ruolan would truly have no face to show to the people of Jiangdong.

  After being educated by Lin Ruolan, Lin Meimei has nothing to do with weakness; although it can't be said that she is an independent woman of the new era, cough...it seems a bit far-fetched, now Lin Meimei is just a small soybean; however, in Lin Ruolan's words, this Lin Daiyu is simply a little belly black.

  No matter who, as long as they have a slight disdain for her, hehe... being deceived and suffering losses are considered light; being torn apart and eaten clean to the bone is absolute; not even a single bone will be left.

  "Grandmother, Yu'er and Aunt Xiang have their own house in the capital; why would Grandmother say that Yu'er and Aunt Xiang will live in Ronggui Hall?" Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes and looked at Old Lady Jia with an innocent face.

  Lin Ruo Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, hehe... it was worth spending so much thought on Lin Mei Mei after all; in a place where no one could see, Lin Ruo Lan gave Lin Dai Yu a smile of praise.

  Received praise from her aunt, Lin Daiyu's smile became even more radiant: "Hmmm... Auntie is praising me, so when I get back home, can I ask for a reward? Ah, this mermaid tear is very pretty; why don't I tell Auntie to give it to me as a reward?"

  Lin Daiyu had already secretly calculated in her heart, after the matter was completely over; what kind of reward she should ask Lin Rulan for, and she had begun to miss the mermaid's tears.

  Mrs. Jia was taken aback, she never thought that Lin Daiyu would ask her such a question, but what Lin Daiyu said next almost made her spit out a mouthful of old blood.

  "Your grandma's courtyard is so small, Yu'er's own Clear and Elegant Residence is much larger than this Rongxi Hall." Lin Daiyu was after all a child at heart, and at first she played the role of a well-behaved girl because of Lin Rulan's instructions.

  She had already received Lin Ruolan's hint, so she didn't have as many thoughts to pretend anymore; therefore, she bluntly said: "Why don't you go live with Yuer for a while, Grandma?"
