The sky was getting light, and the light coming through the window illuminated the beautiful ground.
The scattered men's robes were mixed with women's blouses. The woman on the bed had her hair spread out, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, indicating that she was sleeping very restlessly.
Her slender neck, delicate shoulders, and the area below covered by the quilt were covered with pink kiss marks.
The tall man sat beside her silently, looking at her gently.
After Lin Mu brought the special ointment, he applied it to the woman little by little. Seeing the purple bruises on her waist in the shape of his fingerprints, his eyes revealed a trace of heartache and guilt.
Accompanied by a female moan, the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
Dan Ruo regained consciousness. Although her purpose was to give birth to a child for Lin Hancheng, she also went home with Lin Hancheng to gain his favor.
But what happened yesterday was too sudden. She usually looks calm and steady, but that was too rude. What's more, her current behavior is consistent with the original owner's true identity.
So she raised her arm to slap Lin Hancheng, but her whole body was sore and weak. Although Lin Hancheng did not dodge, the force was just like a tickle, and it didn't satisfy her at all.
She was filled with shame and anger, and she bit her lower lip unconsciously with her pearly teeth. Blood soon seeped out and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Hancheng didn't expect her to react like this. Didn't she like him at all? He had saved her before and hadn't treated her badly in the mansion.
But at the moment, I was indeed wrong, so I softened my voice:
"I will be responsible for you. Now everyone knows that you are my maid. I will inform my mother and take you as my concubine."
Dan Ruo's eyes were red, and she sneered coldly in dissatisfaction: "Concubine?"
Lin Hancheng explained: "I have never thought about getting married. Although you are a concubine, you are the eldest in the backyard."
After spending the past few days together, he also knew that this girl in front of him was clumsy and couldn't even do basic tasks like serving tea and grinding. How could he let her be the mistress of the Lin Mansion?
The mistress of the Lin Mansion needs to take care of the household chores and the interpersonal relationships of various mansions. Not to mention being good at dealing with people, she also needs a relatively capable woman.
The woman's face was full of sarcasm, and her tone was cold: "I would rather die than be a concubine."
Lin Hancheng just thought she was young and couldn't understand that with her status as an orphan and her current abilities, she was not suitable for the position of mistress of the Lin Mansion at all.
He felt that he couldn't explain himself and planned to escape.
"I'll let Biyun come in to accompany you. I'll make the servants in the yard listen to you. Just tell them whatever you want to do."
After saying that, he left quickly. He was going to find Old Madam Qin. His mother had really gone too far this time.
When he arrived at Qin's courtyard, he heard Nanny Wang say that the old lady had gone up the mountain to pray for blessings overnight. He wanted to deal with the accomplice Nanny Wang, but there was nothing he could do. Nanny Wang had taken care of him since he was a child. If he was beaten at such a young age, it would probably shorten his lifespan.
When Biyun saw Danruo's true appearance, she felt that she was indeed such a beauty that she was worthy of the favor of her master.
If Xiuxiu saw the pretty face of the new concubine, she would probably be so ashamed of her provocative behavior towards herself in the past few days.
While helping Danruo bathe, she said that the Lin family was very wealthy and did not have as many rules as the official family. Even if she was a concubine, her life would be no worse than that of the duke's wife outside.
Danruo just wanted to rest and let Biyun chatter excitedly beside him.
You need to be well rested before you can start your next plan.
As for Danruo, she became as ugly as before after bathing. Although Biyun couldn't understand it, she thought that maybe this was the boudoir fun between the new concubine and the master of the house. The master of the house only saw her beautiful side. The master was too overbearing.
In the afternoon, Danruo watched the shadow play for a while and said he wanted to go out and buy clothes.
After Biyun asked Lin Hancheng for permission, Lin Hancheng originally wanted to have someone deliver it to her home for her to choose, but they had already had an unpleasant situation in the morning, and he didn't want to refuse and make her unhappy.
He just asked her to bring some maids and old women with her, and to pick her up after the tour.
After Dan Ruo left the house, she first looked around the Lin family's clothing pavilion for a long time but didn't find anything she liked, so she sent a maid to buy her the famous cakes from the east of the city, and another maid to buy the candied haws from the city gate.
She was strolling casually on the street and saw a clothing store. She went in to the second floor to try on clothes. She asked the store owner to bring several sets of clothes for Biyun to try on. After trying on the clothes, Biyun heard that Danruo had gone to the outhouse in the backyard. She wanted to find her but found that she was gone.
She remembered the note Danruo had slipped her before she tried on the clothes, telling her to open it later. She opened it and took a look.
“Lin Hancheng, if you dare to implicate innocent people, I will never see you again.”
Biyun was so scared that her legs went weak and she hurried home to find Lin Hancheng.
When Lin Hancheng heard the shop that Biyun described, he knew that it was the shop of General Zhenguo's wife, Mrs. Bai. But General Zhenguo was away fighting the enemy at the moment, and it would be inappropriate for a foreigner like him to ask for a meeting.
He asked his sister-in-law to visit the Bai family so that the people in the Bai family shop would cooperate in telling Danruo's whereabouts.
In the end, Bai agreed to let Lin Hancheng interrogate the servants, but they all said they didn't know.
He asked someone to find a painter to paint Danruo's portrait, but after describing it several times, the painter still couldn't paint it well.
At this moment, I only regret that I didn’t learn painting because I thought it was a waste of time.
The painter was also speechless. The descriptions of the three people, Lin Family Head, Lin Mu, and Lin Zhantong, were very abstract.
After several revisions, it was finally distributed to all the Lin family shops in the capital, asking the shop owners and their employees to keep an eye out for it.
Danruo was already lying peacefully in the General's Mansion. Her aunt heard from her that she had run back to the capital alone.
Although he said that she was misbehaving, he was still worried about the emperor's punishment and planned to send her back to the palace personally.
After searching for three days without any results, Lin Hancheng felt extremely regretful that he had agreed to let her go out even though he knew that she was angry and was being stubborn.
As long as she comes back and wants to be my wife, let her be.
So what if Mrs. Lin is not suitable? As long as she comes back, it’s fine.
When Qin heard the news, she stopped praying and hurried home to find Lin Hancheng.
"That's a miracle medicine that a miracle doctor can only brew once a year. It's needed in every season, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. If you can have sex after drinking it, it will definitely help you get pregnant, no matter how difficult it is for you to have children. Go and find that girl for me."
