"Call the next one."
After calming down, Zhao Mingzhu said.
Yu'er immediately went out and called another servant.
This is the gardener and carpenter in the mansion.
"Miss."
The gardener greeted cautiously.
Zhao Mingzhu asked directly, "Does Zhao Lin usually chat with you? What do they talk about?"
"Nothing, he just asked me some questions about the ladies and asked me to teach him how to carve."
"engraving?"
"Yes. He said that when the eldest lady gave birth to the emperor's grandson, everyone went to celebrate because she gave birth to a boy, but no one cared about how dangerous the childbirth was. He wanted to carve a guardian angel to protect the eldest lady."
Zhao Mingzhu remembered.
When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion after her confinement, all her sisters and brothers gave her gifts, which were all valuable jewelry or bracelets from the temple. When Zhao Lin presented his gift, Zhao Mingyue and the others laughed at him.
Because the statue Zhao Lin presented was a wooden Guanyin statue with poor carving and poor quality. Although Zhao Mingzhu accepted it, she turned around and threw it away behind Zhao Lin's back.
At that time, everyone thought that he was reluctant to spend money and just bought something at a street stall to fool people. Who knew that this thing was actually carved by him!
The gardener said, "Master Lin was very serious when he was carving. He even cut his hands several times, and he wouldn't let me help. The young lady must like it very much. It's Master Lin's hard work."
Zhao Mingzhu suddenly panicked.
She forgot where she threw the Guanyin statue.
Guanyin statue?
Zhao Mingzhu suddenly stood up and opened the cabinet door. Among the small items placed inside, there was a statue of Guanyin.
The Guanyin statue is not tall, only twenty centimeters, and the material is not good, using ordinary pine wood. The carving is also not good, and some parts are crooked. If you look closely, you can see dark red marks in some places.
It was actually picked up by Zhao Lin!
"Isn't this carved by Young Master Lin? Why is it here? Didn't he give it to the eldest lady?"
The gardener was surprised.
"Shut up! Get out!"
Yu'er glared at the gardener, and the gardener quickly lowered his head and left.
Zhao Mingzhu stroked the statue of Guanyin, seeming to be crying and laughing.
"If I had known he carved it piece by piece, I would never have thrown it away."
Zhao Mingzhu cried.
Yu'er sighed.
A bystander sees more clearly.
At that time, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion hated Zhao Lin. Even if they knew about it, what would it matter? At most, they would just throw it somewhere where Zhao Lin couldn't see it or pick it up.
Zhao Mingzhu carefully touched the statue of Guanyin and saw a line of small words on the lotus seat: Respectfully ask the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless my sister Zhao Mingzhu with safety and health.
"I still remember how embarrassed and hesitant he was when he handed me the Guanyin statue. I felt he was unpresentable and couldn't even let go of his own sister. I was disgusted by him."
"If I knew, if I knew... I... Why am I such a bastard... Wuwu..."
Zhao Mingzhu held the Guanyin statue in one hand, covered her face with the other, and cried bitterly.
No wonder Zhao Lin cursed her as bad luck as soon as he saw her.
No wonder Zhao Mingzhu asked Zhao Lin to go to Prince Yu's Mansion, but was met with Zhao Lin's sarcasm.
No wonder Zhao Lin used to admire Zhao Mingzhu so much, but now looks at her with disgust.
It turns out that Zhao Mingzhu is really not worthy of being a sister.
"It's not the young lady's fault."
Yu Er advised, "If he doesn't explain it clearly, who knows, right? If anyone is to blame, it's only Master Lin himself who isn't generous enough to speak openly to his face."
Zhao Mingzhu shook her head.
She is the jewel of the Zhao family, the consort of the second prince, and extremely intelligent. How could she not think of what Yu'er thought of?
Yu'er could only say, "Should I go and call someone else?"
Zhao Mingzhu nodded.
When the third person came in, Zhao Mingzhu had already calmed down and her face was expressionless.
"Master Lin, he may be a little lacking in ability, but his character is truly impeccable. You can tell from his attitude towards us."
"Master Lin studies very hard. Every night when we servants are asleep, the light in his room is still on. He's a little stingy, though, and only lights a small candle, not worrying about hurting his eyes."
"Master Lin is really stingy. During festivals and holidays, all the young ladies and gentlemen give us money as gifts, but Master Lin never gives us any. When we ask for it, he only gives us a few copper coins."
"Young Master Lin..."
After listening to one servant after another's opinions on Zhao Lin, a vivid image gradually appeared in Zhao Mingzhu's mind.
But every time Zhao Mingzhu finished listening to someone, tears would flow and her eyes would become red and swollen.
"Miss, that's all for now." Yu'er said.
Zhao Mingzhu recovered her composure and remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "According to them, although Zhao Lin's abilities are limited, his character is acceptable. Do you think he would drug Miss Li?"
Yu'er said, "I don't know about this. I know a person's face but not his heart. But Master Lin admitted it, so it must be him."
Zhao Mingzhu nodded, then shook her head and said, "Go call Mingya."
Yu'er went out quickly and called Zhao Mingya over.
Zhao Mingya said with disgust, "Why don't you go to the front hall to talk about it? Why do you have to come to that loser's room? It stinks. It's so bad."
Zhao Mingzhu slapped the edge of the bed and said, "He's your brother, your real brother!"
Zhao Mingya said without hesitation: "I don't recognize him. I only have one biological brother, and that's Chenhan."
"you?"
Zhao Mingzhu was furious.
Zhao Mingya and Zhao Chenhan are of similar age, spend the most time together, and have the best relationship.
Zhao Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "I'm asking you, tell me honestly, was it Zhao Lin who drugged Miss Li?"
