She still remembered the day when she first entered the general's mansion. It was a bright spring day with a riot of colour. As soon as she entered the mansion, she was attracted by everything in front of her. She felt that the same osmanthus tree looked much more majestic when it grew in the general's mansion. The same went for the flowers. When they grew in the general's mansion, they didn't seem so weak and each one looked heroic!
When Lian Jinrong thought of this, a smile appeared on her face. When she first met An Zhongtao, he was very serious and stern, just like an old scholar. She felt uneasy. If this was really the case, how could she start?
She thought she should try it first.
The next day, she passed by him with a basin of water in her hand, and her body tilted, trying to fall down on purpose. An Zhongtao might not have expected it at the time, and he didn't want to help her, but he finally helped her. Her basin of water fell tightly on both of them. She reached out to wipe it for him, but he turned and left. She felt that she had faced a challenge.
If such a man is really like this, such a test of hers would not have any good effect. It would be too obvious and would arouse his disgust. For this reason, she racked her brains. Fortunately, Lian Jinyu believed in her and always asked her to help deal with things. She even let her manage the expenses and income of Dongnuan Pavilion. In this way, she had the opportunity to get close to An Zhongtao. She tried her best to handle everything perfectly, and An Zhongtao praised her from time to time!
But within a month, Lian Jinyu's morning sickness had healed. Seeing that she had no more excuses to stay here, she began to panic:
Twelve years ago.
East warm room.
Lian Jinyu leaned on the head of the bed, her pretty face looked much more haggard due to the tossing and turning of the past month, but her eyes were clearly black and white, and especially bright.
Lian Jinrong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister, are you feeling better today? I'll help you go out for a walk later. The sun is shining outside!"
Lian Jinyu nodded: "Thanks to you these days..."
Lian Jinrong laughed secretly in her heart. If she knew her true thoughts, she would not say that.
But she was still polite. The two of them walked in the garden for a long time. Lian Jinyu was a little tired, so she went back to her room to rest. This was exactly what Lian Jinrong wanted. If she didn't fall asleep, what chance would she have?
Lian Jinrong took a cup of tea and quietly closed the door before leaving. Seeing this, Madam Hong asked, "Where are you going, young lady?"
"Oh, I'll go back to my room!" Lian Jinrong's room was in the wing. After she returned to the room, she sprinkled some powder into the tea. These things were secretly given to her by her mother. Because her mother had always been out of power in the Lian Mansion, she had to prepare some little gadgets to attract her father's attention.
Regarding this point, she has learned a lot from her mother: once you have made up your mind, just do it!
She adjusted her makeup and looked at her beautiful face in the mirror. She smiled. Although she was not as pretty as Lian Jinyu, she was not much different. If it were not for the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, she would be a young lady in the mansion, but her status would not be much different from that of a maid. In the eyes of outsiders, she was always a illegitimate child! Even if it was a marriage proposal, she, Lian Jinyu, was worthy of the general, while those who proposed marriage to her were all from small families. She couldn't swallow this breath. How exactly are you, Lian Jinyu, better than me?
With an evil look in her eyes, she took the tea and went to the study. An Zhongtao was reading a book. When he saw her come in, he just nodded and asked, "How is Jinyu?"
"Sister is much better! She is resting now. This is the tea I just brewed. General, please try it!"
