Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1197 Drowning
Lin Jinyan comforted the old lady and discussed which courtyard to vacate to renovate for Lin Wanrong to marry. She also gave rewards to the servants in the mansion. The Lin family was immersed in the joy of the eldest daughter Lin Wanrong becoming the Princess of Qi.

When Lin Siyuan and Lin Jinan returned home, they saw that all the servants were smiling happily, and they were infected by them and started smiling too.

As soon as the father and son returned home, Lin Jinyun, who was on duty, rushed over.

Lin Yanqing didn't want to share the same thoughts about Lin Jinyun as Lin Siran, so he advised Lin Wanrong to go back and get married, which made his wife worried again. After a few words of idle talk, he took the lead in saying: Lin Wanrong was getting married in the mansion.

Lin Jinyun couldn't say anything after hearing this, so he could only suppress his thoughts and chat with everyone while they happily discussed Lin Wanrong's dowry.

Listening to her closest relatives discussing their wedding, Lin Wanrong blushed and hid behind the old lady, which made the old lady's depression disappear a lot.

The family gathered for dinner. Lin Jinyan caught a glimpse of Hong Jiu at the door and went out for a while. When he came back, he looked at her hesitantly for a few times as if he wanted to say something. Lin Jinyan finished the meal calmly and found an excuse to come out.

After hearing Hong Jiu's whisper, the smile on his face froze, and after a moment he suddenly turned his head and looked at Hong Jiu:
"Ruyi... fell into a well and drowned?"

Hong Jiu: "I went to check after receiving the news. The servants said Ruyi was washing clothes by the well and hadn't come back for a while. When I went to look for her, she was already in the well.

I have seen the body, it was drowned, but... there was a layer of moss on the wall of the well, but the gaps between Ruyi's fingers were unusually clean, with no signs of struggle."

Lin Jinyan's eyes were cold:
"That is to say, Ruyi didn't fall, but fainted and was thrown into the well... How is Aunt Xu?"

Hong Jiu: "Mrs. Xu is fine. Although she is a little frightened, she is more sad for Ruyi."

Lin Jinyan looked through the window at Lin Wanrong, who was shyly leaning against the old lady. Thinking back to the person who was smiling and talking to her during the day, she suddenly became separated from her. She couldn't help but feel choked up and her voice became dull:

"Hide it from my sister first, and tell Lin Shun to bury Ruyi with honor. Send a few more people to Aunt Xu's place to guard it. The servants there are not allowed to go out for the next few days unless necessary.

Aunt Wang, give me some more silver, and I will go see her in person after I get justice for Ruyi."

When the news of the marriage was announced, the reactions of various officials were different. Some were happy, while others were surprised. After hearing that the imperial decree allowed Chu Chengping to marry only Lin Wanrong, most of the officials were speculating:
Did the Lin family side with the King of Qi? If so, what about the Gu family?

The boudoir girl who admired Chu Chengping was so jealous that her eyes turned red:
Lin Wanrong is a concubine's daughter, but she can marry the King of Qi. What's wrong with them?
Zhou Yuexue was having a meal when she heard the news. She inquired about the contents of the imperial edict in detail, and then heard that the general had gone to the Lin family to congratulate them. The slight hope in her heart that it was fake news was completely gone.

His anger surged to his head and he threw the dishes and chopsticks away. The sound of the porcelain breaking scared the servants in the room so much that they fell to their knees.

That bitch Lin Jinyan will be reincarnated, it's ok because she has the support of her in-laws from the general's mansion, but what right does that bitch Lin Wanrong have!!!
She had to scheme to become the Princess of Jin, and had to endure all kinds of abuse and ridicule. She rarely left the mansion and was trapped in the backyard of the mansion. How could Lin Wanrong, hiding behind others, win the favor of the King of Qi? Get an imperial decree to grant her marriage? And an imperial decree for a lifetime of marriage?
Thinking about the day when Ronghuatang opened, when Lin Wanrong helped Lin Jinyan to embarrass her, thinking about Chu Chengyao's recent neglect of her, and the Concubine Liu who wanted to compete with her for favor, Zhou Yuexue felt even more upset and it took her a long time to suppress her anger.

Thinking about the rumors about Lin Wanrong, Zhou Yuexue sent the servants away and left Shun'er alone to talk.
