Chapter 39: Heartless, how can a living person win over a dead person?
Beigong Yu's expression became indifferent.
Seeing that Lin Miaoyin ignored him, he felt bored and bowed to Xiao Chen and said goodbye.
The servant hurriedly followed, "Prince, what should we do with this set of headgear?" Who would have thought that Princess Ning didn't want it? Isn't that embarrassing?
Beigong Yu frowned slightly, "Isn't this the one my mother chose for Lin Qingxue?"
Do I need to ask him such a simple question?
The servant immediately understood what he meant, "My Lord, this, this is not good, right?"
Beigong Yu was about to scold, but when he looked up, he saw Lin Qingxue crying sadly in the back garden in front, and he quickly gave the servant a look.
The servant stepped forward reluctantly.
"Second Miss, why are you here?" He handed the pearl headdress in his hand to her, "Don't be sad, this set of pearl headdress was originally given to you by my prince."
"Hmph, you finally admitted it. This is a gift for me!" Lin Qingxue said angrily.
Servants: “…”
"Since it was given to me, why did my cousin give it to Lin Miaoyin? Did he consider my feelings when doing this?"
Hearing Lin Qingxue's complaints, Beigong Yu couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.
If he had known that this idiot was so troublesome, he shouldn't have done such a thing.
"But I don't blame my cousin." Lin Qingxue pursed her lips and tried to suppress her grievance.
Although she was unhappy, she couldn't bear to get angry at Beigong Yu. Who made her like him?
Naturally, she would hold Lin Miaoyin responsible for this.
If she hadn't come back suddenly today, her good fortune would not have been ruined.
"Second Miss, this is a gift from my prince, please accept it." The servant hurriedly handed over the headgear, wishing he could get rid of the hot potato in his hand immediately.
Lin Qingxue was about to take it, but suddenly she thought of something and froze, "Could it be that Lin Miaoyin gave it to me because she didn't want it?"
She knew her cousin very well, and she had clearly intended to give it to Lin Miaoyin.
She could think of no other explanation except this.
Seeing the servant's embarrassed expression, she was confused and threw him to the ground in anger. "You gave me something that Lin Miaoyin didn't want, you...you're going too far!"
Lin Qingxue endured it again and again and didn't say anything excessive.
Beigong Yu had completely lost his patience at this point, "You don't want the headgear that I carefully selected, what do you want?"
As he spoke, he took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve that some woman had left on him and threw it towards Lin Qingxue, "Here, this is all I have."
Lin Qingxue was so angry that the corners of her mouth were trembling.
What kind of shabby hairpin is this? It looks like something from a brothel. Who knows which bitch it belongs to!
"Cousin, you are too bullying. I'm going to the palace to tell my aunt!" Her face turned pale and she was shaking all over.
"You can go ahead. I have already sent your coming-of-age gift to you."
Beigong Yu waved to the servant and said, "Let's go."
Looking at the man's resolute back, Lin Qingxue was so angry that she collapsed on the ground, "Wuwuwu, how could my cousin do this to me..."
"Miss, don't be sad. The Imperial Concubine will make the decision for you."
Hearing the little maid's consolation, Lin Qingxue felt even more sad. The more she complained to the imperial concubine aunt, the more her cousin hated her.
In fact, she rarely goes to her aunt to complain now.
How come my cousin can’t see her progress?
"Miss, please get up quickly. You are wearing Su Jin, and it is all dirty."
"What's the use of Su Jin? My cousin doesn't even look at her." Lin Qingxue became even more desperate, but she still got up from the ground.
Because the imperial concubine's aunt once said that she looked like Princess Jing in this dress.
The maidservant finally helped Lin Qingxue up, but she became worried when she saw the pearl headdress that was scattered all over the ground. She was not sure what Lin Qingxue was thinking and didn't know whether to put it away.
"What are you still standing there for? Pick it up quickly. This is the coming-of-age gift my cousin gave me!" Lin Qingxue spoke through gritted teeth, emphasizing the last four words especially.
"Go back to the yard first, I have important things to do now!"
Lin Qingxue said this and walked towards the upper room angrily. How dare this bitch Lin Miaoyin seduce her cousin? She would never forgive her!
…
Lin Miaoyin had not been sitting in the flower hall for long when Lin Ruhui entered the yard.
As he walked, he asked the waiter, "What time is it? Why hasn't the meal been served yet?"
"The eldest lady came back suddenly, and Madam asked the kitchen to add a few of her favorite dishes, so lunch will be served later."
Lin Ruhui frowned slightly.
Why is she back and going crazy this time?
At that time he told her that a forced melon would not be sweet, but she refused to listen and insisted on asking the Queen to grant her marriage.
Later, she felt unhappy living in Prince Ning's Mansion, and she would run back to her parents' home every now and then to cry and complain, making everyone laugh at her.
Whenever he thought of his daughter, his temples would ache.
The servant thought that Lin Ruhui was unhappy that Xiao Chen specially ordered a few more dishes for Lin Miaoyin, so he said, "You also know that the Madam has always loved the eldest daughter. Every time she knew that she was wronged in the Ning Wang Mansion, she would inevitably give her some money."
Lin Ruhui nodded.
He also felt that Chen was virtuous and managed all the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner.
He also treated the daughter left by his sister as his own.
Only my aunt can do this.
When he thought of this, he felt that Lin Miaoyin was more and more ignorant.
As they were talking, the master and servant entered the flower hall. Just as he was about to say a few words to Mrs. Chen, Lin Miaoyin's bright face came into his sight.
He almost thought he saw his deceased wife and was in a trance for a moment.
Over the years, he has devoted himself to his career and has not paid much attention to his children, especially his two daughters.
In his memory, this eldest daughter always wore white and was always shouting and yelling. He never thought that she looked like his deceased wife until just now, when he looked at her quiet appearance and realized that the mother and daughter seemed to be cast from the same mold.
The increasingly blurry image of his deceased wife gradually became clear before his eyes.
He couldn't help feeling melancholy.
People say he is heartless, but he has deep feelings for his deceased wife.
Back then, he was just a penniless scholar, but she gave up marrying other men from aristocratic families and accompanied him through the most difficult times.
They even lost their eldest son because he accompanied him in exile.
He always loved and appreciated her.
"Master? Master?" Seeing Lin Ruhui staring at Lin Miaoyin in a daze, Mrs. Chen quickly raised her hand and waved it in front of him.
She knew that she was reminiscing about Chen Wanjun through Lin Miaoyin.
Over the years, no matter what she did, it could not compare to the position Chen Wanjun held in his heart.
That’s right, how can a living person compete with a dead person?
"Meet father."
Lin Ruhui slowly came back to his senses. Looking at Lin Miaoyin's suspicious eyes, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he asked Xiao Chen: "When will the meal be served?"
"It's almost done. It will be ready in a moment." Mrs. Chen said as she asked the maid to go to the kitchen to urge them.
"By the way, Master, can King Jing stay for dinner?"
When King Jing was mentioned, Lin Ruhui's face suddenly darkened and he glanced around the room, "Where's Qingxue?"
