Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1159 Liu's Thoughts

After returning to the Lin Mansion and just changing clothes and settling down, the old lady sent Liuli to invite Lin Jinyan to Songmao Hall to talk.

Hearing that Liu was interested in making amends with Lin Wanrong and taking her home to stay for a while, Lin Jinyan glanced at her cousin who was lowering her eyes and unwilling to express her opinion, and said casually:

"The day before yesterday, I asked Hong Jiu to deliver medicinal herbs to my eldest brother. I accidentally heard that my cousin Liu, who is from my second aunt's family in the Jin Palace, went to visit my second aunt on the day when my cousin... on the day when the Jin Princess returned home.

This is the first time that the cousin from the Liu family has gone back to see Second Aunt since she entered the Prince of Jin's mansion. The maids and servants there joked privately that maybe because the Princess of Jin had entered the palace, the cousin from the Liu family was afraid of losing favor, so she turned to Second Aunt, her own aunt, for comfort.

Although the old lady is a little soft-hearted and too protective of her own people to think too much, her attitude is only limited to her close family members.

Liu Yunxiang, Liu Meiren, and Zhou Yuexue had already lost their hearts to the old lady. After a little thought, they understood the meaning:
"She actually came up with this idea? She wanted Wanrong to go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to help her niece win favor. She is simply dreaming! I thought she had come to her senses and really wanted to make it up to Rong'er!"

Seeing her grandmother angry, Lin Jinyan seemed to react after a while and hurried forward to calm her down:
Maybe it's just the servants gossiping. Don't wrongly accuse Second Aunt.

Under Lin Jinyan's persuasion, the old lady sent Agate to tell Liu Yunxiang:
Lin Wanrong should be looking for a date at this age. She should not go back for the time being. She can go back to live after the marriage is settled. The old lady is looking for a man everywhere. If Liu Yunxiang really loves Lin Wanrong, she should pay more attention to this matter as her stepmother.

Lin Jinyan patted the old lady on the back and added:
"Tell Second Aunt that Grandfather has found a candidate for Sister and will visit her tomorrow.

The man's family background is too low, but my grandfather likes his character, and my sister hasn't decided on a marriage yet, so she has to listen to my grandfather and take a look at this man first."

After that, Lin Jinyan felt sorry for Manjue's trouble, so she called Lin Shun and asked him to harness the carriage and send Manjue to the second room. Manjue knew that the old lady was anxious to hear the answer, so she thanked Lin Jinyan neatly, turned around and walked out of the house quickly with Lin Shun.

The couple went and came back quickly without delay. When they came back, Liu Yunxiang also came with them. Without Lin Yanqing and the old lady's words, they did not dare to enter the mansion. They just sat in the carriage parked at the door, waiting for Manou to come in and deliver the message.

When Manou entered Songmao Hall, the food had just been served and the Lin family was sitting at the table. Lin Jinyan wanted her family to have dinner before listening to these things, so that they would not be so angry that they could not eat. So she asked Hong Jiu to wait outside the door to stop Manou and let him finish his meal before replying.

Agate knew that Lin Jinyan felt sorry for the old lady and also felt sorry for herself being hungry, so she kept all of Lin Jinyan's kindness in her heart.

Logically, Manou should go outside to reply to Liu Yunxiang first, but thinking of what Liu Yunxiang had done, Manou deliberately forgot about it and had dinner with Hong Jiu without any burden.

During the meal, Lin Jinyan frequently picked up dishes for the old lady and teased her with a sweet smile to make her eat a few more mouthfuls of rice. The family was having a great time and they enjoyed their meal very much.

After the food was removed and tea was served, Lin Yanqing and his son were praising Lin Jinyan's Ronghua Hall when Manju came in, bowed and replied:

"I followed the instructions of the old lady and the second young lady and passed the message to the second lady. The second lady heard that the mansion wanted to see the eldest young lady and said...

"Your Highness Prince Jin is a modest gentleman. If the eldest daughter can enter the Prince Jin's mansion as a concubine, not only will she be taken care of by Concubine Liu from the Second Madam's family, but the Princess of Jin is also the eldest daughter's cousin, and will definitely not let her down."
