Chapter 267 Everyone Comes to Congratulate the Lin Family
"Congratulations, Miss Lin!" Lord Ji, the conspicuous man, had just stepped out of the carriage and greeted Lin Luoxi from afar, as if afraid that she hadn't seen him.
"Thank you, Lord Ji, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and add to our popularity..." Lin Luoxi was both surprised and pleased by Lord Ji's arrival.
After all, with the esteemed Prince Xiao Jingchen present, how could these two adults possibly miss the opportunity to curry favor with him?
“Miss Lin, you’re really not being fair. You didn’t even invite us to such an important event as the housewarming party. Instead, you shamelessly brought your whole family along.” As soon as Lord Ji got off the carriage, he immediately pulled his wife and daughter down as well.
Lord Ji observed that the Empress was loyal and honest, and his wife had a face that was considered auspicious for her husband. Her face was round and full, her skin was fair, and the corners of her mouth were curved appropriately. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak.
They have a friendly and approachable demeanor, and you can tell at a glance that they are easy to get along with.
The daughter behind them was about the same age as Lin Luoxi, with a round face that looked exactly like Madam Ji.
When Miss Ji saw Lin Luoxi looking at her, she smiled at Lin Luoxi with grace and poise, her eyes showing no arrogance or haughtiness whatsoever.
"Lord Ji, Madam Ji, Miss Ji, please come in..." Lin Luoxi couldn't very well have someone stand outside and greet them, so she quickly ushered them inside.
"Miss Lin, you can't be biased. I brought my wife with me too." Seeing that Lin Luoxi didn't see him, Lord Su immediately raised his voice.
"Heavens, what good fortune has the Lin family had? Even these two lords have come to offer their congratulations." The crowd watching the spectacle began a new wave of discussion and envy because of the arrival of Lord Ji and Lord Su.
"Don't you guys think about it? Lin Luoxi is different now than before. It's normal for someone as powerful as her to know these influential people..."
Hearing the villagers talking, Lin Yangshi immediately came over to say a few words in support.
“We were just saying…” When Lin Yangshi stood up to speak, the other villagers fell silent.
Now, Madam Lin is a favorite of the Lin family. If she hears something unpleasant and tells the Lin family, they could lose their lives at any time.
"Lord Su, I'm so sorry, I really didn't notice..." Lin Luoxi quickly greeted him with a smile, seeing that he was their superior official.
From now on, whatever needs to be done, Lin Luoxi will have to go to Lord Su's side, as she dares not offend him at all.
Quickly invite these two great figures into the house and seat them at Xiao Jingchen's table.
As for the families of Lord Ji and Lord Su, Lin Luoxi arranged for them to live in the same courtyard to avoid suspicion and to make the ladies of these two officials feel more at ease.
To ensure the guests didn't feel slighted, Lin Luoxi asked Lin Wangshi, Lin Yangshi, and Lin Lishi, the daughter-in-law of the clan elder, to go and chat with the two ladies.
She was busy in the front yard, preventing any accidents from happening.
Just as Lin Luoxi finished settling the two ladies in, an extremely noisy sound came from the front gate.
"Lin Dayou, you ungrateful wretch! Such a big event as building a new house and moving in, and you didn't even invite us! Even if we've done wrong things before, we've supported you for thirty years, how could you…"
That familiar crying voice—you can tell without even thinking that it's Old Madam Lin coming to cause trouble.
There were already so many people, and Lin Luoxi was so busy she barely had time to breathe. Plus, today was a big day for her family, and she didn't want anyone to come and spoil the celebration.
They directly sent Lin Yi and the others, along with Zhao Ximo and the fourth girl, to deal with the Lin family.
"Who are you? Why are you making such a racket on our joyous occasion? What are you up to?" Zhao Ximo bumped into the Lin family, who were trying to force their way into the hospital, before she even left the hospital.
"Exactly, they're shameless." Tang Chuxia blocked Old Mrs. Lin's path when she saw the Lin family trying to barge in. Footsteps could be heard inside.
"You lowly bastards, get out of my way!" Old Mrs. Lin saw Zhao Ximeng and Tang Chuxia lying in front of her and immediately pushed them aside.
"It seems our Lin family didn't invite your family." Seeing that Old Madam Lin actually dared to make a move, Yang Keyi and Yang Kexin immediately grabbed Old Madam Lin one by one and dragged her outside.
"Let me go! Let me go! If you don't let me go, I'm going to report you to the authorities."
"You two bitches, let me go right now!" No matter how much Old Mrs. Lin kicked and struggled, the twin sisters Yang Keyi and Yang Kexin wouldn't let her go, so she could only scream.
When Old Man Lin saw his wife being carried out by Lin Luoxi's maid, he raised his cane, intending to strike the two sisters, Yang Keyi and Yang Kexin.
As a result, Lin Yi, who was behind him, grabbed the old man's cane.
Seeing that Lin Yi had started to take action, Lin Er, Lin San, Lin Si, and Lin Wu carried the old man Lin outside with great coordination.
Not long after, the pitiful cries of Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mr. Lin could be heard from outside. The cries were as miserable as could be.
Besides the wails, there were also small, thumping sounds of fists hitting the body.
Those who attended Lin Luoxi's family banquet in the courtyard all knew who the old lady Lin's family was, so no one came out to watch the spectacle.
Hearing the sound of someone being beaten, and feeling pain all over their bodies, they all looked at Lin Luoxi, only to see a calm and indifferent expression on her face.
At the same time, they had to admit one thing: the Lin family of today is not the Lin family of the past. If they wanted to bully the Lin family, they would have to consider whether they had the right to stand up to the Lin family.
The Lin family is the monkey. Today, Lin Luoxi had Zhao Ximo's four maids and Lin Yi take action to make an example of them for the villagers.
Outside the door, Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mr. Lin wailed for a while, and then their voices gradually subsided.
Just as everyone was curious and eagerly awaiting their return, Zhao Ximo and Lin Yi came back.
"Miss, it's all done!" Zhao Ximo's eyes were practically brimming with excitement.
"We did exactly as Miss said, we'd rather take action than talk," Tang Chuxia said excitedly, joining in.
Just as the young lady said, it's much more satisfying to take action than to talk.
Xiao Jingchen and the others, who were eating in the front hall, naturally heard the commotion outside. However, they all glanced outside and then continued eating with their heads down.
Xiao Jingchen: I gave so many gifts today, I have to eat my fill to make up for it.
Lord Ji and Lord Su: We finally got a chance to come to the Lin family for a meal, so we can't let those trivial matters slow down their eating.
Those two old men were clearly not to be trifled with. The fact that Miss Lin sent people to deal with them shows that Miss Lin's temper had reached its limit, and they deserved to be beaten.
