Lin Zao looked at the two characters above the courtyard, and something seemed to flash through her mind.
Little Lin Zao looked at the sign hanging above the gate that read "Jianjia Garden" and instructed the servants, "Take down this plaque and replace it with Zao Garden."
The enraged Second Master Lin glared at Little Lin Zao, 'You rebellious daughter, this was written personally for your mother. Are you trying to rebel?'
Little Lin Zao looked at Second Master Lin with a cold smile, 'Are you worthy?'
Lin Zao shook her head slightly, but couldn't remember anything else.
The last image that remained in her mind was Master Lin staring at her as if she had seen a ghost.
Seeing that Lin Zao looked somewhat dazed, Tang Jian, who was standing next to her, helped her up with some concern.
Fortunately, Lin Shaohua had already opened the courtyard gate.
The courtyard had been deserted for a long time, and the wooden door creaked, sounding heavy with the weight of years of neglect.
As the group stepped into the courtyard, they found that the path was overgrown with grass and branches, some as tall as a person's waist, but all of them had withered and died due to lack of water.
It looks very desolate.
Lin Shaohua was very embarrassed by this situation.
"Well...why don't you and your brother-in-law go with your elder brother to rest in another courtyard?"
Lin Zao looked at the withered grass and trees in the yard, her expression unchanged.
“Brother, you don’t need to worry. My husband and I have some things to take care of today. We’ll visit you again in a few days.”
Lin Shaohua thought that Lin Zao was angry because she saw how desolate her courtyard was, and that's why she wanted to leave.
Some people stammered and didn't know how to explain.
You can't blame them for this; when Lin Zao fell into the river, everyone thought she was dead.
Later, they sent people to search along that river, but they didn't find her body. However, no one believed she was still alive, given how dangerous the situation was.
When the people in the Lin family learned that Lin Zao was dead, they dared not go to her courtyard. Moreover, Lin Zao's family was large and wealthy, and she had many courtyards in the mansion. No one cared if a few were left idle.
Seeing that the master of the mansion didn't care, the servants below were even less concerned. They all thought that 'Zaoyuan' was an unlucky place, and no one was willing to clean it up.
So the 'Zaoyuan' was abandoned. It's been more than 5 years since Lin Zao disappeared, so it's normal for the courtyard to be like this now.
Lin Shaohua sighed:
"Does Third Sister blame us? I know you have a deep affection for this courtyard, but we rarely come here because we are afraid of being reminded of the past. I just didn't expect the servants to be so negligent in maintaining it."
Lin Zao raised an eyebrow. Were they afraid of being reminded of someone by seeing these things?
Why does it make her want to laugh so much?
"Brother, you've misunderstood. I don't blame you. I just suddenly came back here and felt very familiar with it. I just missed it for a moment."
"As for why my husband and I insisted on going back today, it's because my sister's children are still waiting for us at home, so we had no choice but to go back."
Since they brought the children over, the Lin family would naturally find out. There was no need for her to hide it. She couldn't just keep the children locked up at home and not let them go out, could she?
Lin Shaohua looked at Lin Zao and Tang Jian in surprise.
"Third sister has a child? Is it a nephew or a niece? Why didn't you bring them along?"
Lin Zao replied with a smile, "Yes, it's twins. The children are still young and don't know any better. We're afraid they'll cause trouble if they come over. We'll bring them next time."
Tang Jian nodded in agreement from the side.
Thankfully, I didn't bring the children along, otherwise they would probably be upset by today's scene.
