Chapter 91
Jia Min's body gradually recovered under Lin Ruolan's care, but this also brought even more trouble; so even though Jia Min and the fetus in her womb were safe and sound, the expressions on the faces of Lin Ruhai, Mrs. Lin, and Old Master Lin did not have a single hint of joy.
Lin Ruolan didn't notice at first, because she left Yangzhou City for two days right after Jia Min just woke up; it wasn't until she returned to Yangzhou City two days later that she discovered Duan Ni.
"Master, mistress!" Zhou Ayi stood in front of Lin Furen and Lin Lao Ye with a troubled expression, looking like she wanted to speak but hesitated; she opened her mouth several times but didn't make a sound.
Although the Lin family had promoted Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin to become Old Madam and Old Master since Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got married, Lin Ruhai naturally became a master too.
However, in the eyes of some elderly people in Lin's mansion, Mrs. Lin is still the lady, and Mr. Lin is still the master; as for Lin Ruhai? He is naturally still the young master.
Madam Lin's beautiful face showed a faint look of sorrow, and she gently patted the back of Old Master Lin's hand with her hand; slightly headache said: "Zhou Nian, you are also an old man in the house; whatever it is, just say it, no need to be so hesitant."
Actually, even if Zhou didn't say anything, Madame Lin had already guessed; presumably it was that good daughter-in-law of theirs causing trouble again, and such things had been happening almost every day in the Lin household lately.
Jia Min probably also figured it out, she and Lin Ruhai are unlikely to have any more dealings between them; this time since they know the Lin family values their own flesh and blood, they might as well rely on the flesh in their own belly; start stirring up trouble for the Lin family from top to bottom.
It's not that the dishes made in the kitchen of the mansion don't suit her taste, but she would suddenly say she wants to eat this or that; they were all some strange and unusual things, not available in this season; even if it was something that couldn't be found in Yangzhou City, her demands were still impossible to refuse; because Jia Min's excuses were extremely reasonable and confident.
"Mr. and Mrs., the daughter-in-law also knows that these demands are a bit excessive; but this is not what the daughter-in-law wants to eat, it's the child in the daughter-in-law's belly who is clamoring to eat." Jia Min was smiling with abandon when facing Lin Furen and Lin Lao Ye.
Alright! After listening to Jia Min's words, Lin Furen and Lin Lao Ye were at a loss for words; they couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, thinking that it was only a matter of a few months, they simply followed Jia Min to make trouble.
Anyway, the Lin family doesn't lack these few pieces of silver, whatever Jia Min likes is fine. In short, everything prioritizes the child in Jia Min's belly.
As expected, Zhou Ayi's words confirmed Mrs. Lin's suspicions: "What Lady Cui said was that the young lady...". Zhou Ayi looked at Mrs. Lin with a difficult expression and stopped halfway through her sentence.
Alas... marrying a wife and seeking virtue is indeed an unfortunate event for our family!
Mrs. Lin silently sighed in her heart: "Zhou Ayi, what's wrong with the young lady again? Didn't we tell you to follow her wishes and do things accordingly? What else is she not satisfied with?"
Mrs. Lin pressed her temples with her hand, and in the past few days, as soon as Jiayuan was mentioned, the whole house would be in an uproar and no one could have any peace.
"Madam!" Mr. Lin's affection for his wife was deep, and seeing that Mrs. Lin looked a bit unwell, he couldn't help but call out in concern.
"Master, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Mrs. Lin's slightly irritated heart was warmed by a glance and a sentence from Master Lin.
"Madam, sir, the young mistress says to ask the young master to go and have dinner with her; she says that the little one in her belly wants to see his father."
As soon as Old Lady Jia finished speaking, Mrs. Lin's temper flared up; this Jia Min really was getting more and more spoiled with the tacit consent of her elders; it was time to teach her a lesson, or else she would think that the baby in her belly was an amulet against punishment.
Lin Ruo Lan had been standing outside the door for several minutes, and she basically understood the cause and effect of the whole thing; seeing her own beautiful mother about to get angry, she couldn't stand it anymore; in a few steps, she lightly walked in from outside.
"Mom! Dad!"
Lin Ruo-lan's one cry, and Mrs. Lin's great anger vanished into thin air.
"The old servant has seen the young lady!" said Zhou Yayi, curtsying to Lin Ruolan.
"Auntie, you're an elder by Mother's side, no need to be so polite." Lin Ruolan smiled slightly at Zhou Auntie and nodded gently.
"Miss, don't say such things, or you'll be killing an old slave like me."
Although Old Lady Zhou was well aware that Lin Ruolan's words were sincere, she remained unmoved. As a servant, Lin Ruolan would always be beneath her in Old Lady Zhou's eyes; one sentence from Lin wouldn't easily change that.
Lin Ruolan somewhat understood the distinction between masters and servants of ancient people, so she just said it casually; as for whether Zhou would follow suit, Lin Ruolan had already anticipated it in her heart.
"Good girl, you're finally back." Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand to lovingly grab Lin Ruo Lan's arm, and asked in a string of questions: "Good girl, where did you go these past two days that you didn't leave any trace?"
"Alright, ma'am!"
Mr. Lin looked at his beloved daughter's pleading gaze, and couldn't help but stroke his beard with a faint smile: "Your daughter has just returned, and you're asking her so many questions; aren't you afraid of scaring her away?"
Lin Ruolan smiled and looked at her parents' warm scene, turned her head to Zhou Mama and said: "Mama, when brother comes back from the government office later; you let brother go see sister-in-law."
Lin Ruo-lan's idea was simple, coinciding with Lin Ru-hai, Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin's initial thoughts; anyway, it would only take a few months, just endure it and it will pass.
"Yes, young lady. If the master and mistress have no other instructions, I'll take my leave." Zhou Mama curtsied to Mrs. Lin, Mr. Lin, and Lin Ruo Lan.
"Go!"
Mrs. Lin nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Auntie Zhou, please pay more attention to the young mistress and make sure she doesn't get into any more trouble."
"Please rest assured, madam, I know what to do."
To be honest, Jia Min doesn't care about Lin Ruolan at all; as for the child in Jia Min's belly?
Hehe...... Lin Ruolan has carefully looked at it, as long as nothing unexpected happens; this Lin sister will definitely be born safely, the recent things that can make Lin Ruolan worry; It's just that Nanguo Town in her mind, which is far away from Nanguo Town.
"Good girl, what's this..." Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Ruolan with a suspicious expression.
"Mom, don't worry! Listen to me slowly."
Lin Ruo Lan warmly sat down next to Mrs. Lin, and from her own space took out two strings of sparkling grapes; handed them over to Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin.
As for the divine powers of their own precious daughter, Mrs. Lin and Old Master Lin had long been accustomed to seeing strange things; although grapes were no longer in season, both Mrs. Lin and Old Master Lin's faces showed a normal expression.
"Mom, Dad, I was thinking..."
Lin Ruolan picked a grape and put it into her mother's mouth, then told Lin Furen and Old Master Lin about her plan in detail.
It's simple, isn't Jia Min just taking advantage of her pregnancy to cause trouble? Let her go ahead and cause trouble then, let her have her fill; doesn't the Lin family also have a garden in Suzhou?
Lin Ruo-lan's proposal is to let her father take his beautiful wife on a trip outside, and if that doesn't work out, the distance between Suzhou and Yangzhou isn't too far, so he can take his beautiful wife to live in Suzhou for a while.
There's a saying that goes well: out of sight, out of mind! When you're far apart and can't see each other, you naturally won't be bothered; isn't this the same principle?
Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin stared at each other in dismay, unable to believe that their precious daughter would come up with such a suggestion.
"But this is a good method." Mr. Lin pondered for a moment, and did not object to Lin Ruo Lan's suggestion: "Madam, you and I are also getting old; this Jia Min will have to toss about for at least a few more months, and it won't work out in the long run; our precious daughter's proposal is quite good, what do you think, madam?"
Mr. Lin's words clearly indicate that he has agreed to Lin Ruolan's proposal, but Mrs. Lin is somewhat hesitant in her heart; worried about her unborn grandson (granddaughter).
"Mother, Father, my sister's proposal is also very good; I'll instruct the servants to pack your luggage right away, and we can set off tomorrow."
Mrs. Lin was still hesitating, when Lin Ruhai, who had just returned from the government office, strode in hastily; his usually handsome face looked extremely haggard, and he made a decision on behalf of Mrs. Lin without hesitation.
"Brother, you're back." Lin Ruo Lan gave Lin Ru Hai a big smile, which made Lin Ru Hai's somewhat pale face feel much more at ease.
"Sister!"
Seeing his beloved younger sister, Lin Ruhai's expression softened a lot: "Sister, when you just came back, didn't you say that Qingweizi Lao Shengxian entrusted you with something to do? Now there is nothing in the house, so tomorrow you can follow your parents on the road."
Lin Ruo Lan was slightly stunned, but she quickly understood the meaning of Lin Ruohai's words; her own brother was worried about her?
Lin Ruo Lan felt warm in her heart, and she nodded lightly to respond: "Mmm... Brother, I know; Mother and Father don't need too many people around them. With Bai Zhi, Mo Zhu, Lan Xiang, and Qing Luo, the four maids by Mother's side are enough."
Facing Lin Ruhai's puzzled gaze, Lin Ruolan opened her mouth to explain: "Brother, mother, father, Bai Zhu, Mo Zhu, Qing Luan and Lan Ting four girls have learned a few tricks from me; although they are just some fancy moves, but for self-defense, it is more than enough; in case something happens on the way, the four girls can also lend a hand."
"I know, but you're still more thoughtful than me, sister." Lin Ruhai nodded and said.
However, in his heart, he also knew that Bai Zhi, Qing Luan and those girls would definitely not be just; Lin Ruolan's mouth said that the flower fist was so simple.
