Like Ning Yunyan, Lin Jiner also didn't know her father's decision.

She lay on the bed, listening quietly outside. She continued to sob, but no tears came out. She reached out and carefully lifted a corner of the bed curtain.

This is her bedroom, and the furnishings are the same as before, except for the maids who always stood in front of and behind the door.

After waking up that day, he no longer saw his maids. Not only Xianglan who followed him to Jinyun Tower, but all the maids who served him were nowhere to be seen.

You definitely won't see it. If something happens to you, in order to maintain your reputation, you must hold these girls responsible, or get rid of them and sell them off, just like getting rid of those old and rotten things and replacing them with new ones, so that everything can start over again.

She didn't care about the lives of those girls. What she cared about was how her father would vent her anger about this matter.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiner's eyes turned red and hatred twisted her face.

Jun Zhenzhen, you have been imprisoned now, right? You have been abandoned by the Fang family, right? Your life is worse than death, right?

Letting her die would be too easy, she must be made to suffer a fate worse than death.

As for herself, Lin Jin'er reached out and pinched her collar. Her father would definitely make up for what happened in Jinyun Tower. No father would allow his daughter to bear a dishonored reputation. Not only would her reputation be ruined, but all the girls in the Lin family would be implicated and criticized.

Even if the sky falls, your family will be there to support and protect you.

Lin Jin'er breathed a sigh of relief. Besides, she still had to marry into the Ning family and become the Tenth Young Master's concubine. This was also an opportunity.

When the time comes, I will hold on to Ning Yunyan. I don't believe that Madam Ning will not be shy.

Now she is just waiting for her father to come and ask her the truth of the matter. Once he asks, she will let her father do as she says.

But it's been two days. Why hasn't my father come yet? My mother only came once and left crying.

Are you going to discuss what to do?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside.

Coming.

Lin Jiner quickly put down the tent and lay down.

There was a lot of noise and footsteps coming in. It seemed that many people were coming in.

Shouldn't father and mother come quietly? Why is it so chaotic? Lin Jin'er frowned and was about to cover her face and pretend to cry when the curtain was pulled open.

Two unfamiliar maids stood by the bed.

Lin Jiner was startled.

"You..." she yelled.

As soon as she opened her mouth, a maid quickly stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth.

Lin Jin'er almost fainted.

What's going on? Is there a robber in the house? What's going on?

"Miss, we have been ordered to send you to the family temple. Please don't make any noise and just be obedient." The maid's voice said in her ear.

What? Send me to the family temple? Why send me to the family temple? Who goes to the family temple? How can she go to the family temple? She is Lin Jiner. She is my father’s legitimate daughter!

Lin Jin'er tried to turn over like a fish, but the maid skillfully tied her up with a cloth belt and lifted her off the bed, while the other two maids covered her with a sheet.

Lin Jin'er's eyes went dark, just like her world fell into darkness.

No way, no way, this is impossible.

How did this happen?

On the sixth day of March, three days after the Daughter's Day, two pieces of news were discussed in the inner chambers of the Yangcheng families.

One was the engaged daughter of the eldest wife of the Beiliuning family, and the other was the daughter of the Lin family, the chief clerk of Yangcheng County, who had a hidden illness and was sent to the family temple.

The Ning family’s daughter is fourteen years old. The Lin family’s daughter is fifteen years old. They just celebrated Girls’ Day. One is about to become someone else’s wife and wait for her flower to bloom, while the other has withered before she has even bloomed.

These two things are in sharp contrast. One happy and one sad happening at the same time makes people sigh, but it also makes many people feel uneasy, especially those who have daughters who are waiting for flowers to bloom.

Almost overnight, there were fewer girls in the streets and alleys of Yangcheng, and teahouses and brothels were no longer filled with the young ladies from the aristocratic families who used to hang out together, laughing and playing.

It is said that some families hired teachers to teach their daughters calligraphy, some hired musicians to teach them the instrument, and many asked their daughters to practice needlework.

In the bright and sunny March, the daughters who had been staying at home to avoid the cold for a whole winter should have appeared in their gorgeous clothes to add color to the spring scenery. Unexpectedly, the daughters were gone, which made everyone feel inexplicably much colder.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Fang Yuxiu asked.

At this time, she and Jun Zhenzhen were walking out of a pharmacy.

Jun Zhenzhen shook her head and got on the carriage directly. Fang Yuxiu naturally got on without saying much. The carriage slowly turned a corner and another carriage came towards them.

"Get out of the way." The driver of the carriage opposite recognized at a glance that this carriage was only used by ordinary people, and waved his whip unceremoniously and shouted, "You have no eyes."

Fang Yuxiu frowned and lifted the car curtain. Jun Zhenzhen also looked out. It seemed that a girl in the opposite car also lifted the curtain to look out.

As it is the carriage of a lady from a noble family, common people are supposed to give way to it. This is something everyone should know without being reminded. Who is so blind?

The girl was already in a bad mood, and now she was even more impatient. When she saw the person opposite her clearly, she was stunned and her face turned pale.

"Get out of the way," she blurted out.

The driver cracked the whip again.

"Get out of the way." He shouted at the carriage on the opposite side.

Before he could finish his words, the lady hit him on the back with a teacup.

"I asked you to move aside." The girl said tremblingly, "Move aside quickly and let them pass first."

The driver was startled, but dared not disobey, so he jumped out of the carriage and pulled it to the side of the road.

There was a flash of surprise in Fang Yuxiu's eyes. She glanced at Miss Jun, whose face remained calm.

"Let's go." Fang Yuxiu said to the driver.

The driver, who was also a little dazed, finally came to his senses and hurriedly urged the horse to go, and the carriage passed along the road slowly.

Miss Jun turned her head to look at the carriage on the side of the road. Although the curtain of the carriage was lowered to cover the people inside, she could still feel the girl in the carriage looking at her.

Jun Zhenzhen didn't recognize this girl. She only had a vague memory that she was probably a daughter of an official family. She should have an ordinary family background, otherwise Jun Zhenzhen would not have forgotten her.

Although her family background was ordinary, these girls were not afraid of Jun Zhenzhen, but only laughed at and looked down on her.

But now Miss Jun was sure that she was scared, very scared.

Giving way to yourself can be attributed to politeness, but why be afraid of yourself?

This question was answered after returning home.

"The seventeenth young lady of the Ning family has made her engagement, and the wedding date is set for May next year." Old Madam Fang said, "The young lady of the Lin family has been sent to the family temple because of a relapse of her hidden illness."

She looked at Miss Jun with a complicated expression.

"I think your problem is solved now," she said.

Those girls are the darlings of the family, loved by the elders, humbled by their sisters, fawned upon and revered by the maids, and when they walk on the street, the boys secretly peek at them and the girls are envious of them.

The most annoying thing for them is not getting their favorite jewelry, and the greatest sorrow is getting a stain on their dress. Apart from that, their days are smooth and bright like spring, and fear never exists.

But this time they truly understood what fear and dread were. They realized that some people cannot be bullied at will, that family members will not protect them for everything, and that they cannot always be worry-free.

There are some things you cannot do and some people you cannot offend, otherwise you will get into trouble and your family will not protect you.

Miss Jun smiled.

"It's good as long as the children grow up," she said.
