Chapter 26

  Lin Ruolan was still young, and she hadn't rested well the night before. The teleportation spell she had just used had also consumed too much of her spiritual energy, probably because the person beside her was her own brother. Unbeknownst to herself, Lin Ruolan fell asleep.

  Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Ruolan, who was still frowning even in her sleep, and a hint of heartache flashed across his face. He reached out to lift up half of the carriage curtain and instructed Yan Tai.

  "Slow down the carriage a bit; the young lady is too tired and has fallen asleep, be careful not to wake her up."

  "Understood, young master!" The inkstone responded with a crisp tone, stretching out his hand to slightly pull the reins; the speed of the horse carriage naturally slowed down.

  Lin Ruo Lan hadn't slept so soundly in a long time, but when the faint voices of conversation reached her ears, she slowly opened her eyes to see several young girls' faces entering her line of sight.

  She, who had just woken up, was now confused. She lifted her head with a bewildered expression: "Who are you? Where am I? Where's my brother?"

  Lin Ruo-lan asked several what's in a row, then looked around with a slightly dazed expression.

  Surrounding her were four thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girls, all dressed in light blue jackets with deep blue pleated skirts; the clothes looked very plain and unremarkable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, extremely faint floral patterns could be seen on them, obviously made from expensive materials that only wealthy families could afford.

  Four people all had the same hairstyle, although it was just a simple bun; each person's head was adorned with a simple silver hairpin, but one by one, from head to toe, they exuded an unpretentious and elegant temperament; at first glance, they were all high-quality young girls.

  One of the younger girls with a long face and big eyes looked at Lin Ruolan and opened her eyes, with a surprised expression, saying: "Miss, you're finally awake."

  Uh... Lin Ruolan blinked her eyes, had she returned to the Lin family?

  Next, the melon-faced maid's words confirmed Lin Ruolan's guess in her heart: "Blue ribbon, hurry up and tell the lady and old master that the young master and daughter have woken up." The melon-faced maid was probably one of the most dignified among several maids. She instructed a goose-egg-faced little maid beside her.

  "Understood, Bai Zhi sister!" The maid who was called Lan Ying smiled and said, after finishing she slightly bowed to Lin Ruolan and then quickly walked away.

  Angelica? Blue ribbon?

  Lin Ruolan muttered to herself, hmm... these two names sound very familiar, as if she had heard someone mention them somewhere? After spending half a day, she finally found the information about Bai Zhi and Lan Ling in her mind.

  "Are you Bai Zhu?" Lin Ruo Lan looked at the standing Bai Zhu in front of her, and her eyes finally became clear; then her gaze turned to the other two maids: "And you are... Mo Zhu and Qing Luo!"

  Bai Zhi, Mo Zhu, Qing Luan and Lan Xiang are all senior maids in Lin Ruolan's household... Ah, that's the information stored in Lin Ruolan's brain when she received memories of the original owner.

  "Nu bi Bai Zhi (Mo Zhu, Qing Lao) has seen the young lady!" Three delicate and pretty little maids simultaneously curtsied to Lin Ruolan.

  Knowing that the young lady from her own family has been practicing Taoism for so many years, she still remembers these few insignificant little maidservants; Bai Zhi, Mo Zhu, Qing Luan and a few others' emotions can be imagined, that is absolutely exciting!

  Lin Ruo Lan waved her hand and sat up with the help of Bai Ju's hand: "You all don't have to be so polite, it makes me feel quite uncomfortable."

  "My son, what's wrong?" The door curtain was lifted and a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in from outside; beside her followed a round-faced neat-looking maid, with two pretty maids standing on either side; most importantly, behind her also followed the blue sash who had just left this room.

  Plus what she called herself earlier - My son!

  Lin Ruo Lan didn't need to guess and could be 100% certain that the beautiful woman in front of her was indeed her own mother.

  The round-faced woman who followed the beautiful woman, as well as the two pretty maids, stood up straight and saluted Lin Ruolan: "Your humble servants have seen you, Miss. Please take care!"

  "Get up!" Lin Ruolan didn't know what the status of these three people was in the Lin mansion, so she could only vaguely nod her head to signal Bai Ji to help the round-faced woman first.

  Lin Ruolan thought it was simple, generally speaking, for official families like Lin's; the rules may not be very big but must be very strict. Those who can serve by the side of the hostess are mostly some prestigious slaves.

  To know that this slave is also like others, divided into three six nine grades; for example, at the moment, there are several people serving beside her, such as Bai Zhi, Mo Zhu, Qing Luan and so on. If Lin Ruolan didn't guess wrong, these few maids should be the first-class maids by her side, and below them, there should be second-class maids, third-class maids; or perhaps the maid who sweeps the floor is more suitable.

  At this moment, Lin Ruolan's attention was completely focused on the beautiful woman who had just walked in, and she didn't have any mind to pay attention to anything else.

  Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but seriously examine the beautiful woman in front of her, and after a closer look, Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth; she had already determined that her own appearance, as well as that of her brother Lin Ruohai, was mostly inherited from the woman standing before her, Lin Furen.

  The other party's upper body was a brocade white-based red plum blossom patterned outer garment, with deep purple water ripple cloud patterned overlapping sleeves; the lower body was paired with a dark blue lake wave skirt. On her head, she wore a lotus hairpin, with one side slanting and inserting a carved flower white jade pin; on the other side, she wore a gold phoenix hairpin hanging down with a point of green jade tassel. Her fingers were adorned with cat's eye stone gold rings, and her wrists had a pair of extremely fine turquoise inlaid gold bangles.

  The first impression Mrs. Lin gave to Lin Ruolan was that her cheap mother-in-law was surprisingly beautiful; then the second feeling was, damn it! Is a local tyrant asking for a kept woman?

  A simple sentence, his own mother can only be described with eight words: national color fragrance, noble and elegant!

  However, when Lin Ruolan saw how Mrs. Lin was dressed in front of her, she finally understood; why in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions" it is written that after Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's death, the old lady of the Jia family and Madame Wang together plotted against Lin Daiyu, the original work didn't exaggerate at all.

  This Lin Ruhai family is really rich, and in Lin Ruolan's mind, there is only one sentence: Mother is a beauty, the Lin family is truly wealthy!

  Mrs. Lin had already sat down beside Lin Ruolan, and at this moment she was staring at Lin Ruolan with two red eyes; her face wanted to speak but stopped, and instead lost the neatness of when she entered the door just now.

  "The slaves have seen the mistress." The voices of Bai Zhu, Mo Zhu and Qing Luan brought Lin Ruolan back from her daze.

  It was just that for a moment, she couldn't bring herself to call this unfamiliar woman "mother". The two of them just looked at each other in silence, neither speaking.

  "Miss, don't you remember Madam?" Bai Zhi carefully looked at Lin Ruolan with a puzzled expression and asked.

  Huh... isn't that unreasonable? Just now the girl clearly still remembered herself and Mo Zhu, Qing Luan and a few others, how could she not remember her own mother?

  Bai Ju's voice was not loud, but it still clearly reached the ears of Lin Ruolan and her mother.

  "Child!" Mrs. Lin's expression changed, and she looked at Lin Ruolan with a loving face; as soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell like broken pearls, pouring down; instantly frightening all the maids and servants in the house.

  Lin Ruo Lan also became at a loss, as for comforting people Lin Ruo Lan's experience could be said to be zero: "You...you don't have to cry anymore." Lin Ruo Lan stammered.
