Yan Cigui Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Too much appetite

Lin Yunyan just pretended that she didn't notice anything wrong with Mr. Huang, and turned around to go to the east wing.

Lin Yunjing also heard the movement in the yard and turned her eyes to look over.

"Sister." Lin Yunyan waved to her through the window, picked up her skirt and ran towards the house.

 Here in the main house, Mr. Huang did not move at all.

A girl in her prime is most beautiful when she is lively, like a butterfly, flying in and out.

 Then, I don't know what the two sisters said, but laughter like silver bells came over.

Huang held the edge of the window, her fingers unconsciously exerting force, and her fingertips turned white.

 “How could she do this?” Huang murmured.

Just looking at Lin Yunyan's appearance, Huang could never have imagined that she would describe the relationship between sisters in such a way in front of the old lady.

“Yun Jing is so close to her...”

 Only when facing her sister, the elegant Yun Jing would smile so heartily.

"It's good to have them since they were young. One moment, they were bickering, crying, and couldn't understand what they were saying. The next moment, they were affectionate and hugging each other. How could such a close relationship look fake..." Huang Shi said more and more. , the more uncomfortable I feel.

 Nothing is going well today.

 The marriage was rescheduled, the sisterhood was false, no matter which one Yun Jing heard about, she would be heartbroken.

Seeing that Mrs. Huang was uncomfortable, Grandma Hong felt panicked. She was also afraid that Mrs. Huang would be too worried about her daughter and get into trouble, so she tried to persuade her: "I think about it, the princess doesn't look like that. Maybe there is a misunderstanding..."

Huang asked: "You mean, Qingyan slandered the princess?"

"She dared to take ten taels of silver from my slave!" said Grandma Hong, stamping her feet.

 Do you feel sorry for the money?

 Mother Hong is very distressed!

That's only ten taels. She has to meet two months full of happy events, including salary, before she can get those.

The madam will definitely not let her pay this money. The second wife receives the money from the father-in-law, and there is no need to worry about the expenses for food and drink. For the Duke and the Duke's house, ten taels is a small amount of money, but if it is left out, ordinary people can't spend it in a year. so much!

But it was heartbreaking, because Grandma Hong was not someone who couldn't see past money. There was nothing honorable or disgraceful about using money to clear the way. What mattered to her was Qingyan's attitude.

　　　He hesitated for five taels of silver, and only opened his mouth after ten taels of silver.

That girl has a huge appetite.

 It was so big that even an old lady like her had to murmur to herself.

"If you have a big appetite, your heart may not be right," said Grandma Hong. "If your heart is not right, you'd better think more carefully about what you say."

  Huang was noncommittal and seemed to be thinking.

Aunt Hong added: "If what she said is really wrong and you blame the princess for this, the eldest girl will be sad if she knows about it; if it is true as Qingyan said, the princess is not actually close to the eldest daughter, then this slave is wrongly blaming Qing Yan, when she leaves the house to get married, I will give her a big red seal as an apology."

Hearing this, Mr. Huang nodded: "Let me take a look, maybe there is something we don't know about."

 Mother Hong felt relieved.

 When doing things for others, the most fearful thing is to be impatient. If you are impatient, something will happen.

 As long as you can stay calm and think things through, you can always find a solution to everything big or small.

In the east wing room, Lin Yunyan was looking at the embroidery with her cheek propped up.

“It's really beautiful,” she said in a low voice while gently stroking the material. “If you have that thought, why are you still embroidering a hijab?”

Lin Yunjing chuckled: "I just don't want to marry Duke Xu, but it doesn't mean I won't marry for the rest of my life."

"That makes sense!" Lin Yunyan said, "If you can't get married, neither your second aunt nor your grandmother will be able to sleep soundly."

Lin Yunjing couldn't help laughing.

The mother loves her and hopes that she will find a good man and live a happy life. Grandma attaches great importance to reputation. If someone says something like, "The old woman is cruel and the daughter of a **** is wasting her time," she will keep her eyes open until dawn.

"So..." Lin Yunjing leaned over and whispered to her sister, "You are teasing me like this, are you making good progress?"

"Aunt hasn't told you yet?" Lin Yunyan asked back. Seeing that the eldest sister really didn't know the situation, she said, "Grandma has postponed it to next year. My aunt probably doesn't know how to talk to you.

　　It wouldn't be appropriate to break off the relationship right away. Let's take it step by step. We'll delay it for the next year first, and then find an excuse that Grandma can accept. I've already got a clue about this, so don't worry. "

Lin Yunjing's eyes flashed with joy.

 She knows how to work strategically.

"I'll leave it to you as I said before. I believe you can do it. If you want me to do anything, just tell me." Lin Yunjing said.

“There is indeed something that I need to ask my eldest sister for,” Lin Yuntan blinked. “When I first came here, my aunt was not very happy…”

Muttering, Lin Yunyan explained the internal situation to Lin Yunjing.

The two discussed it for a few more words, and after making an agreement, Lin Yunyan stood up to say goodbye and went back to Bao'an Garden.

 Lin Yunjing rubbed her face and went to the main house to look for Mr. Huang.

"The princess has gone back?" Mrs. Huang asked when she saw her daughter coming in.

“Yes.” Lin Yunjing answered simply and sat down next to her mother.

 Taking the tea cup from Grandma Hong, she did not drink it. She fiddled with the tea lid and looked at Mr. Huang through the hot air.

Even if Huang tried her best to cover up her biological daughter, she still couldn't escape Lin Yunjing's eyes, especially from her daughter's careful observation.

 “Are you not happy?” Lin Yunjing asked.

 “It's nothing…” Mr. Huang forced a smile.

Lin Yunjing didn't listen to her, and directly pointed out: "You are just unhappy. My second sister has always been polite and will say hello to you every time she comes back. She ran away just now. I asked her why she didn't say hello to you. , she said that when she came, she saw something wrong with your face."

 Huang was startled.

 She thought the princess didn't see it, but she didn't expect that everyone saw it.

"I..." Lin Yunjing looked at her for a moment, and Huang's whitewashed words were stuck in her throat. She glanced at Grandma Hong subconsciously.

This little move was caught by Lin Yunjing.

It seems that, as Lin Yunyan said, after the wedding was postponed, her mother asked Grandma Hong to inquire about it at Zai Shou Yuan.

"I forgot to ask you," Lin Yunjing said, "The Duke's wife is here. What did you say about the wedding date?"

 Huang's sarcasm.

 The topic has been changed, and it would be difficult for her to answer it if it were another one.

Seeing that Huang was being questioned, Grandma Hong said cheekily: "The princess didn't tell the eldest daughter about the wedding date?"

Lin Yunjing turned to look at her without saying a word. She frowned and relaxed her brows for a while. She "thought" for a while before she showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

“So that's it!” She sighed, “Grandma postponed the wedding to next year. Do you think it's the second sister who is causing trouble?”

Huang's face turned red and white for a while: "Have you heard about this? What did the princess tell you? Why are you so calm?"

Lin Yunjing held her mother's hand and said every word seriously: "I am begging my second sister. I don't want to marry to Duke Xu's house. There is always a voice in my heart that Su Ke is not a good match."

 Huang's head buzzed and she was stunned.

There will be more updates later
