Crying for the prince and having his mind read, I am the most favored harem!

Chapter 17 Catch the thief and get the stolen goods
  Lin Yu would agree. This was what Lin Qingran expected, and what she said was not unreasonable.

"Okay, let's talk after dinner." Lin Qingran walked forward again.

The brother and sister soon arrived at the dining room, where Taishi Lin, Lin Lang, and Mr. and Mrs. Xu were sitting at the table waiting.

Originally, men and women in large aristocratic families generally had to share tables, but Taishi Lin didn't care about this. There were only a few people in the family, so they simply didn't share tables. He even said that it was good for the family to have a lively meal.

Lin Lang and his wife had no objection, so they all ate together in these years.

At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid came in carrying a plate of food.

The reason why Lin Qingran noticed her was because this person did not exist in the memory of the original owner. It seemed that this was the 'poor' person who came back with Lin Yu and the others.

Now that she had recognized him, Lin Qingran was not in a hurry. She looked at Xu calmly, with a smile on her eyebrows.

"Mother, I heard from eldest brother that you brought a girl back when you went to the countryside. I heard that this girl is a miserable person." Lin Qingran said with a smile, her eyes not falling on the person who came in.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not so calm in his heart. When he put it on the table, his hand slipped and he made a 'clang' sound.

"Ah! I didn't mean to do this. Please forgive me, Grand Master."

Taishi Lin paused and glanced at the woman working, with a bit of displeasure on his face.

Although Master Lin is not a very carefree person, logically speaking, such a rough-and-tumble maid should not appear in the dining room.

When eating, it is important to eat without speaking. In fact, the most important thing is to lower your voice. Even if it has not started yet, hearing such a voice is always unpleasant and a kind of interruption.

Of course, Lin Qingran saw Taishi Lin's reaction in her eyes, and she knew that Taishi Lin had double standards.

It doesn't matter if Lin Qingran speaks, but not others.

"Hey, this maid looks a little unfamiliar. She seems to have never seen her before. Did she just come into the house?" Lin Qingran took a sip of the tea on the table and asked casually.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I was just about to say something, but Ran Ran didn't know something. This is the girl we rescued on the way back from the countryside, Xu Qin. It seems that she also had a hard life. She sold herself to bury her father and ended up dating a gangster. , it was your elder brother who did it, and those people bullied others so much that I couldn’t stand it. Later, I originally planned to give the girl some money and let her find a place to settle down, but she didn’t want to do that and said she was willing to work to earn money. Money. I saw that she was so self-reliant, so I agreed, and there was someone to take care of her when she brought it back, wouldn’t Ran Ran like it? "

Xu Qin's appearance was pretty good, and she could be considered a Xiaojiabiyu, otherwise she wouldn't have been favored by the gangsters.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she stood aside aggrievedly, "It was the madam and the eldest young master who took pity on me and gave me a place to live. I am very grateful. If the eldest lady doesn't like it and thinks that I am clumsy in doing things, You don’t need to come to the front hall to serve me, but you can just go and sweep.”

"You misunderstood, Ranran didn't mean that, she was thinking about it." Lin Yu was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Qingran.

"I was thinking that it would be nice for Miss Xu, who has such a tragic life experience and a good heart, to be grateful for being saved by her eldest brother and mother. Since Miss Xu is willing to serve and support herself, of course I will not object. Lin Qingran smiled, and then winked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu didn't know what Lin Qingran was thinking, but he always indulged his sister, so he didn't say much.

I didn't have any unnecessary feelings before, but now when I see Xu Qin, I always feel something is strange.

It's not that it's clumsy, but it feels a little weird, but I can't put it into words.

Lin Yu really couldn't understand it, but Lin Qingran could understand it!
  The pitiful appearance just now was just like a little white lotus. Unfortunately, her rank was a bit low. It was okay to deceive a straight man like Lin Yu, but it was impossible to fool her. Xu Qin breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Lin Qingran's words, he agreed that she should stay and understand. Fortunately, she spent half a day today building a good relationship with the slaves in the mansion and getting to know each master's temperament.

The eldest lady Lin Qingran is the easiest to deal with. She has no brains, is arrogant and willful, but has a soft heart.

"Thank you, Miss." Xu Qinfu said.

Master Lin didn't like these trivial topics. It happened that the food was all served, so he waved his hand and said, "Have a meal."

"Eat quickly, the food will be cold later." Lin Lang also said.

Xu Qin stepped back to the side, and the entire Lin family began to eat.

There was indeed no one talking during the meal, and their speed seemed slow, but in fact it was fast, and they finished the food in a short time.

Grand Master Lin was not a wasteful person, and Xu knew her father-in-law very well, so the meal prepared was just enough for the five of them, with nothing left over.

This scene fell into Xu Qin's eyes, and she didn't agree with it at all.

Since he has become the grand master of the current dynasty and is also the emperor's mentor, he has to enjoy himself no matter what. As a result, he lives in such a shabby state and there are not many dishes on the table.

When she joins the Lin family in the future, she must change this way, and it's not like she can't afford any food.

Suddenly, Xu Qin felt a glance. She raised her eyes and looked over. It was Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran didn't have much reaction. She seemed to be curious about Xu Qin, so she didn't take it to heart. She probably didn't take Lin Qingran seriously at all.

After dinner, Mrs. Xu took Lin Qingran to talk about herself. Lin Yu had some doubts and couldn't explain them, so he went back to the room by himself.

Now Lin Yu is editing in the Hanlin Academy. There was nothing important in the past. It was just that he was delayed for a few days when he returned to his hometown, so he still had to deal with some trivial matters in the study.

When Xu Qin saw Lin Yu returning to the courtyard, he followed him sneakily. This scene was seen by Lin Qingran and Xu.

It turned out that the so-called intimate talk between mother and daughter was just that Lin Qingran took Xu for a walk and asked about Xu Qin's situation at one time or another.

"Mother, you have seen that this woman is not very peaceful and has evil intentions." Lin Qingran whispered.

Mrs. Xu was also shocked and didn't react for a long time. After all, Xu Qin was not like this in her previous impression.

As a result, today I watched Lin Yu return to the yard and followed him secretly. It seemed that he was still sneaky. This was definitely a problem.

"Ran Ran, I really didn't expect that Xu Qin has been playing tricks on me before, just to see if I don't scold her!" Mrs. Xu said and was about to move forward.

Lin Qingran hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't be anxious, mother. They say that catching an adulterer makes a couple, and catching a thief takes away the stolen goods. If she exposes her now, if she bites her back, it will make the Taishi Mansion realize what she said."

"I didn't expect that Ran Ran has changed a lot in the past few days, and she knows how to help me deal with my troubles." Xu asked, "Then according to Ran Ran's wishes, what should we do?"
