Chapter 246 Taking the Initiative
Lin Pianran nodded. "Well, I underestimated the Wen Ding Marquis Mansion. I thought we could live in peace and harmony. I didn't expect them to be so badly outmaneuvered and give me such a big surprise."
"To be able to come up with such an idea, you are indeed a talent, you really have a lot of brains!"
Tian Zhu hurriedly said, "Miss, they think you have a foster mother, but they can't keep you under control. So they gave you a sister. This is a double insurance policy, to completely tie you to the dilapidated ship of the Wen Ding Marquis Mansion, so that they can ride the wind and waves..."
"After you have a sister, you can ask your sister to do or say things that the elders are not comfortable with. At the same time, she is a little older than you, so she can have a bit of a suppressive effect on you."
"How shameless! How can they have the nerve to scheme against a younger generation together?"
"A family of a hundred years, a family of civil servants with a rich heritage, yet, bah, they are no different from those shameless vagrants in the market! They only use despicable means, which is extremely despicable."
"What about the noble family? It's just that layer of human skin, which looks more glamorous and decent, but the heart is darker than ink..."
Tianzhu seemed to be very angry about their behavior and started cursing without caring about her image. She was a little outspoken and used very dirty words.
Lin Pianran had nothing to be angry about. People are like this. It is normal for them to seek benefits and avoid harm, and to curry favor with the powerful. There is no need to make a fuss about it.
As long as they don't go too far, she can tolerate some of them.
As the younger generation, we should be more tolerant.
But if it hindered her eyes, she didn't mind dirtying her hands and breaking their outstretched claws, so that they would no longer have the chance to calculate this, calculate that, and calculate too much.
If breaking their claws doesn't work, then don't blame her for turning against them and breaking off relations with them. It's not impossible for her to sever the adoption relationship.
After all, tolerance for them is extremely limited.
I just hope that by then, they won't regret it.
Lin Pianran didn't take this matter too seriously. There was no point in getting angry now. They hadn't said anything excessive or done anything against the law. There was no way to accuse them of anything wrong, let alone convict them.
Let’s wait and see!
"I guess Su Qingfeng will bring Su Yulian to visit tomorrow. Do you think I'm right?" Lin Pianran asked everyone with a playful blink of her eyes.
The maids looked at each other and felt that their mistress had probably guessed it right.
The Marquis Wen Ding’s Mansion certainly doesn’t want to let the meat fly away, so they must strike while the iron is hot.
"Hurry up and clean up the room. Put away everything that cannot be seen by others!"
"Also, have someone spread the word that this county lady will go to Puhua Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow."
"Also, tell His Highness not to return to Yufulou tomorrow. Don't let anyone from the Marquis Wending's residence run into His Highness, or they'll take advantage of the opportunity to get close to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"I want to see what they are thinking. What are their intentions?"
The maids nodded and went to do their work separately.
Lin Pianran looked through the window at the twinkling stars in the night sky, but fell into deep thought.
She really wanted to ask Su Qingfeng in person, "How dare she plot against her? How dare she do that? Is she being shameless and disrespectful to her elders?"
Does she still think that she is still the weak and pitiful little thing she used to be?
She would be gravely mistaken.
Lin Pianran shattered her beautiful dream with her own hands, causing her to fall into an endless nightmare.
*****
The next morning.
Lin Pianran got up early.
She had her own calculations and was ready to lure the snake out.
Just after breakfast, Tianzhu came breathlessly to report, "Miss, your adoptive mother Su Qingfeng is here with Su Yuying and Su Yulian, and wants to ask to see you."
Lin Pianran said to Jing Yu, "Bring more secret guards today. I'm going to Puhua Temple to pray. Let them follow secretly. Don't alert the enemy. There will definitely be a lot of 'dogs' following us today. Just take the 'dogs' for a good walk and find an opportunity to kill them..."
The two of them sat face to face and whispered for a long time.
After hearing this, Jingyu's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and then left in a hurry.
Lin Pianran looked at Huanxue again and asked, "Has the news that I'm going to Puhua Temple to pray for blessings spread?"
"Miss, it was already known to everyone last night."
The “dogs” that should know already know it, it just depends on whether they take action.
"Well, let's set off now! This is a good opportunity for Gu Xiangsi. Let's see if she can seize it! I believe she will not let us down. She will definitely be eager to find a chance to ambush us or attack us..."
"Miss, Lu Jianmin is worried about your safety, so he has picked out dozens of martial arts masters and mixed them in with the crowd, ready to protect you at any time." Huanxue said again.
"Well, now that everything is ready, let's go!"
When Lin Pianran brought the maids downstairs, she saw Su Qingfeng and the other two looking around.
She greeted them with a smile, "Mother, two sisters, I'm going to Puhua Temple to pray for blessings today."
This time Su Yuying had learned her lesson and had a very proper smile on her face, as if yesterday's unpleasantness had never happened.
Lin Pianran didn't mind at all, as if she didn't take it to heart.
Su Qingfeng saw that Lin Pianran seemed to be in a good mood and was not unhappy about their abruptness or the adoption incident yesterday, so she felt relieved.
He quickly replied, "We also want to go to Puhua Temple to pray for blessings. It just so happens that we are going the same way, so we can keep each other company."
Lin Pianran smiled faintly, "Very good, this way we can take care of each other, and this journey will definitely be lively."
In the darkness that Su Qingfeng and the others could not see, there was a cold calculation hidden in her eyes.
She cast a big net today, just to see how many fish she can catch with one shot!
Let’s wait and see!
Originally, Su Yuying wanted to ride in the same carriage with Lin Pianran, but was forcefully stopped by Su Qingfeng.
They, the Marquis Wendi Mansion, can curry favor with Lin Pianran and go along with her on the journey to pray for blessings, but they cannot do it too obviously. If they are as difficult to deal with as a dog-skin plaster, it will make people feel disgusted and even disgusted.
Too much is as bad as too little, so we must strike a balance.
