Chapter 21: Hurry
She grabbed the jade pendant left by Xiao Yuan and stuffed it to Xiao Tao through the crack in the door.
"Quick, take this jade pendant and go find the master, and tell him that Xiao Yuan wants to marry me."
"Hurry up."
Lin Qingjun never imagined that her inner cry would be heard by the heavens, oh no, by the little fairy child? Now, this was the perfect way for her to escape.
The prince of Wu'an Marquis is seriously ill, which must be due to the anger caused by Xiao Yuan that day. His father has always had differences with Xiao Yuan, and now that the prince is seriously ill, Xiao Yuan cannot shift the blame. If so, if she lets her father know that Xiao Yuan asked her to marry him today, how could Xiao Yuan say that he would marry her again?
In his father's eyes, Xiao Yuan was a vicious villain who ruined the reputation of his two daughters.
First, he was attracted to his eldest sister, holding her hand tightly, then he went to provoke the Marquis of Wu'an, and then, without his knowledge, he secretly asked to marry his second daughter? Did he really think his daughters were just carrots and vegetables? He let Xiao Yuan pick and choose?
Not to mention a high-ranking official like my father, even an ordinary family couldn't bear such humiliation, right?
Who was Xiao Yuan? He was just a poor scholar. How could he act so rashly in a fourth-rank official's residence? How could his father, the Minister of Rites, agree to this?
If Xiao Yuan was not punished on the spot at the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, it could be said that it was because of the past relationship between teacher and student. But now that he has caused such a disaster, how can he escape?
Lin Qingjun leaned against the gate and smiled.
The Prince of Wu'an, it is so good that he is seriously ill, and it is so timely.
The reason why she was so sure that the serious illness of the Marquis of Wu'an was related to Xiao Yuan was because, since her rebirth, she had asked Xiao Tao to go around the gatehouse and the tea room in the front yard.
At the gatehouse, she could tell who had arrived just by looking at it, and in the tea room, she could also hear clearly who was having a meeting in the main hall or side hall.
Today, someone came from the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. If it was just an ordinary serious illness, the Wu'an Marquis would not have come to the Lin Mansion to tell his father specifically. Therefore, she concluded that the prince's illness was related to the Lin Mansion and came to hold him accountable.
However, Lin Qingjun was still very nervous.
She didn't go to the front hall. She didn't know if her father had seen the jade pendant Xiaotao brought with her, or if Lin Yingxue would stop her on the way. She also didn't know if her father would interfere in her affairs. After all, no matter how well-behaved she was, she was still just a concubine's daughter. Compared to his eldest daughter, she was still far behind.
Lin Qingjun looked at the tightly closed courtyard door again, her eyes full of hatred. She hated this door and hated this rule. She secretly swore in her heart that she would never let this door and this rule trap her a second time.
But Lin Qingjun didn't know that on a big and dense tree not far from her, a man was seeing everything about her, including her anger, her sorrow, and the despair she showed when she was imprisoned.
Ji Chenchuan clenched his fingers tightly under his sleeves, and his knuckles turned white.
She is still the same as before, even when she is in trouble, she will seek ways to escape like a little animal.
Qingshan said, "Master, can we really help Miss Lin Er by doing this? What if Master Lin lets Xiao Yuan marry her for Lin Yingxue?"
Wouldn’t the master’s series of arrangements be in vain?
Moreover, as long as Xiao Yuan marries Miss Lin Er, he will not be allowed to destroy his eldest daughter. Isn't this just perfect?
Ji Chenchuan shook his head and said affirmatively, "No."
Because the person who came to the Lin Mansion today was Nanny Li, the personal nanny beside the grandmother, and not an ordinary person. Nanny Li's words represented the words of the old lady of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. With such intimidation, how could Lin Zhi resist?
not to mention……
Thinking of this, a sincere smile appeared on Ji Chenchuan's gentle face.
What's more, when Nanny Li came out, he also gave her her favorite rose and lily dew. Although this dew was not difficult to make, it was not easy to make the dew have the fragrance of both roses and lilies, and to mix the proportions just right to please Nanny Li.
As luck would have it, every time he summoned someone, they always won the favor of Matron Li.
I remember the last time he gave him this fragrant dew was when he was five years old and was sent to Qingyun Mountain. He saved a soft and sticky little girl who was soaked in an alley. She grabbed his robe tightly and said, "Brother Fairy, please save your aunt."
For some reason, he was saved. Nanny Li said that she was afraid of missing the time, so she asked him to go first, but he refused. Nanny Li got angry, so he used this fragrant dew to "bribe" her.
Ji Chenchuan withdrew his thoughts. He had never expected that the dew fragrance would be used on the same person twice. Could this be considered... a match made in heaven?
Qingshan shuddered. Why did the master's smile seem a bit narcissistic?
At this time, in another place.
Lin Qingjun was right as she predicted. Lin Yingxue stopped Xiaotao outside the main hall.
"Xiao Tao, why are you here instead of serving your young lady in the courtyard? This is the main hall, how can a mere servant like you have the right to enter it?"
"My second sister is kind-hearted and never argues with others, but she is not someone you lowly people can bully."
"Come here, drag this wicked slave away and give him thirty lashes."
Xiao Tao's face turned pale. Thirty lashes, wouldn't that mean she would be beaten to death? Besides, the things the Second Young Lady had instructed her to do hadn't been done yet.
She shouted regardless, "Miss, please spare my life. This servant came here to ask to see the master. I beg Miss to be lenient and let Xiao Tao in."
After hearing this, Lin Yingxue was filled with anger. She raised her hand and slapped Xiaotao hard, then grabbed her bruised face and spoke coldly.
"Who do you think you are? And who do you think your Second Young Miss is? If I hadn't finished my business, how could I have kept you here?"
She knew that Lin Qingjun would not accept it so easily, so she waited here early, and she was really kept waiting.
"I know what you want to do, but forget it. Your second daughter is destined to marry Xiao Yuan. Her miserable life will ultimately be created by me."
Lin Qingjun, oh Lin Qingjun, don't blame her for being so cruel. Who made her always superior to her?
She was born a year earlier than her, which meant she was her eldest illegitimate sister instead of her second illegitimate sister. Just for this reason, she secretly suppressed her. However, her mother also hated this, so she locked her and her concubine's mother in the yard for a whole year before letting them out. Only when she was older did she say that she was the second illegitimate sister. In this way, her title as the eldest legitimate sister was preserved.
Furthermore, although Lin Qingjun clearly did not understand the rules, she knelt down and begged for forgiveness in front of her father when Aunt Liu was beaten with a stick. However, afterwards, her father not only did not scold her for not understanding the rules, but instead said that she was loyal and righteous.
Then what is she, a cold and unloving eldest daughter?
Then, Lin Qingjun started learning the rules again, and her father praised her for learning the rules well? But what about her? Did she not learn the rules well?
Haha, don’t blame her for being so cruel. All of this is what Lin Qingjun brought upon herself.
"Come here, take Xiao Tao away, don't offend the nobles in the main hall."
Don't ruin her good fortune. I heard that the person coming is the personal nanny of Old Madam Hou. She must not let this little bitch ruin her good fortune.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Master Lin, what is this? Did this servant do something wrong?"
Lin Yingxue gasped and thought to herself, this is not good.
