Hello, elder brother!
Lin Yuxin stood up and politely bowed.
[The older brother has the muscular look of a man, strong and powerful. It's such a pity that he'll be confined to a wheelchair in the future.]
It seems this trip to the Bai residence is unavoidable. Bai Yaoyao will give her elder brother hope this time, making him believe that they are already in love, and making him devoted to her completely.
I have to go and see if I can stop it. We can't let my older brother spend his future in a wheelchair.
Lin Chenglie's eyes flickered as he looked at his younger sister, feeling a warmth in his heart.
"Here, this is a gift from your older brother!"
Lin Chenglie took out a dagger and handed it to Lin Yuxin.
Wow! I really like it.
Lin Yuxin was overjoyed when she saw the dagger and immediately picked it up and started playing with it.
[Hehe, I was just thinking of getting something for protection, and this gift from you is perfect! At least it's not a hairpin.]
Zhao Hanyue looked at her daughter. Her daughter's return had brought about great changes in their lives, but they were all looking forward to it.
"I'm glad you like it. If you want anything else in the future, just tell your older brother."
A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Chenglie's eyes.
"Yes, thank you, big brother."
"Hey! Big brother's back! What's making you so happy?"
Lin Shaoyang, who hadn't been back for two days, returned and asked curiously.
"Second brother, eldest brother gave me a dagger, and I love it."
Lin Yuxin explained.
"Oh, you like what your older brother gave you, but you don't like what I gave you?"
Lin Shaoyang said, feigning anger.
"No, I like the ones my second brother gave me too."
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuxin immediately spoke up.
[How come I never noticed that my second brother is also prone to jealousy and rivalry? How childish.]
Lin Shaoyang: ...!
...
Before they knew it, the day of the banquet at the Prime Minister's residence arrived.
After Lin Yuxin finished getting ready, she set off with Zhao Hanyue. However, after she got into the carriage, she saw Lin Qianqian sitting inside.
It's been a few days since I've seen her in her "green tea" mode, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it.
[Huh, am I starting to have some paranoia? No, no, no, I'm a normal person.]
Lin Yuxin shook her head frantically in her heart!
"Does your older sister dislike seeing her younger sister? Why does she seem unhappy?"
Now that it's just the two of them in the car, Lin Qianqian has stopped pretending.
"No, it's just that I'm not used to sitting with trash, so I'm still getting used to it."
Lin Yuxin calmly sat down. Lin Qianqian sat in the main seat, and Lin Yuxin didn't argue with her, so she sat directly on the left.
"You...you insulted me!!"
Lin Qianqian angrily pointed at Lin Yuxin and yelled.
"Who should be cursing whom!"
Lin Yuxin grinned as she looked at Lin Qianqian's angry expression.
"You... Hmph, I won't hold it against you. You'll get your comeuppance later."
Lin Qianqian thought of something, swallowed her anger, and thought, "Hmph! You'll get what's coming to you later."
Soon, they arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
Lin Yuxin followed Zhao Hanyya inside. Once they entered the back garden, they saw many ladies and daughters already gathered together chatting.
"Madam Bai, how have you been lately?!"
Zhao Hanyue and her two daughters stepped forward to greet Madam Bai.
Madam Bai glanced at Zhao Hanya, a hint of disdain and jealousy flashing across her face.
But he smiled kindly and said:
"Mrs. Lin is here. Good, good. Please have a seat."
Zhao Hanyue also took the opportunity to find an empty seat and sit down with her daughter.
Madam Bai looked at Lin Yuxin beside Zhao Hanyue and asked curiously:
"Madam Lin, who is this young lady?"
"Sigh, this is a family scandal. This is my biological daughter, Lin Yuxin. She was switched at birth and we only recently got her back."
Zhao Hanyue sat gracefully, holding Lin Yuxin's hand, and explained with a smile.
"Really?? I thought it was just a rumor at first!"
"This girl really does look a bit like Zhao Hanyue when she was young! It's just that her temperament is different."
"The biological child has come back, but what about the previous one?"
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, with all sorts of comments being made.
Lin Yuxin and Zhao Hanyue sat there without changing their expressions, while Zhao Hanyue chatted with the ladies with a smile.
Lin Qianqian sat to the side, listening to everyone's discussion, her gums almost grinding to powder.
He rubbed his hands together inside his sleeves, his head bowed, tears and hatred welling up in his eyes.
I've called you "Mother" for so many years, and you haven't given me any face at all! Then don't blame me for being ruthless.
[This Madam Bai is Mother's mortal enemy; this banquet is a trap!]
Zhao Hanyue chatted with the ladies with a smile on her face, but there was not much of a smile in her eyes.
"Madam Lin, now that your biological daughter has returned, please don't treat your adopted daughter any differently!"
Madam Bai said this with a pointed remark.
"Of course! As long as Qianqian is obedient in the future, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter!"
Zhao Hanyue smiled and looked at Madam Bai, speaking calmly.
[Why does the atmosphere feel a bit strange? It's almost like a battle is about to break out. But this Madam Bai is quite a ruthless character. When she was young, she always compared herself to my mother. But after my mother got married, she married into the Prime Minister's mansion not long after. Over the years, the Prime Minister's mansion has had no illegitimate children, all thanks to Madam Bai's methods. But perhaps it's retribution, Madam Bai only has one daughter, no sons, and she dotes on Bai Weiwei very much.]
[Aside from her relationship with her mother, considering her upbringing of Bai Weiwei, she would never allow Bai Weiwei to marry her eldest brother. Bai Weiwei already had connections with the Crown Prince, and they were both eyeing the position of Crown Princess. The reason her eldest brother was interested in Bai Weiwei was because he was lost as a child and bullied by a beggar. He encountered Bai Weiwei, who helped him rebuke the beggar, and from then on, Bai Weiwei became her brother's "white moonlight" (a metaphor for unrequited love).]
[But I wonder who Bai Weiwei is? Today I'd like to see what my brother's white moonlight is like!]
Lin Yuxin sat next to Zhao Hanyue, pondering. She looked up and glanced left and right without making a sound, wondering which one was Bai Weiwei.
Zhao Hanyue spoke calmly:
"Why don't I see Bai Yatou? She's the main character this time, so she can't just stay out of the way! Miss Bai has been proficient in all the arts since she was little, so let my girl see her and let her learn from her."
"Weiwei will be here soon, let's play our games first."
Madam Bai's face stiffened for a moment, then she smiled and said...
Judging from Madam Bai's expression, could Bai Weiwei have gone to secretly meet with the Crown Prince? It's said this banquet was arranged specifically for the Crown Prince; ostensibly a birthday celebration for Bai Weiwei, it's actually a gathering to curry favor with him. There's bound to be a good show today!
Lin Yuxin's eyes darted around, and she stood up and whispered something to Zhao Hanyue:
"Mother, I'm going out for a walk. It's too stuffy here!"
"Okay, go ahead, be careful!"
Zhao Hanyue knew she couldn't control this girl, so she could only give her a word of advice.
"Yes, Mother, I understand!"
Lin Yuxin got up and quietly left the back garden.
