Princess, she is playing again

Chapter 4
"Oh, if you don't want to, then don't force it."

Xu Zhaoning shrugged and fiddled with a green wristband in his hand. Lin Long took a closer look and found that the so-called wristband actually had two eyes.

Xu Zhaoning noticed Lin Long's gaze, untied the wristband from his wrist, and held it up to Lin Long.

"Hissing" is the sound of the little green snake spitting out green seeds. Lin Long was so frightened by her stretching and shrinking red letter that her legs were a little weak, and she gritted her teeth: "Okay, I will give it!"

Xu Zhaoning retracted the little green snake and still wrapped it around his wrist, without moving a bit.

Lin Long saw that she had already agreed to Xu Zhaoning's request, but she still had no intention of disbanding the snake group, so she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, "Xu Zhaoning, don't go too far, let these lowly things disperse quickly."

But Xu Zhaoning scratched his head, and said to her as if gossiping: "I heard that Mrs. Lin is very good at managing the family and managing money."

"What else do you want to do!" Lin Long looked at Xu Zhaoning vigilantly, her hands tightly clutching the handkerchief betrayed her nervousness at the moment.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just heard that when my mother came in, she was dressed in red makeup. After she passed away, all her shops and villages in the mansion were handed over to Mrs. Lin. In the past ten years, the profits she made..."

Whether Rong Shuyun's dowry was profitable or not, the original owner actually didn't know, but Xu Zhaoning found out after going through it carefully that the two medicine shops in the dowry were exactly what she needed urgently.

In modern times, if she was able to develop the Xu family from a simple family of Chinese medicine to a medical family that both black and white are afraid to please, then in the ancient times when medical technology was underdeveloped, she should be able to be more like a fish in water.

"Where there is any profit, your mother's shops and Zhuangzi are all losing money!"

"Oh, that's right. It just so happens that I'm free recently. Why don't Madam Ruolin check it out with me? I'm going to get married soon, so I have to learn how to run the house, doesn't Madam think?"

"Don't even think about it!"

At this point, Lin Long finally understood Xu Zhaoning's plan. Wanting the yard is just a small plate before dinner, and getting back her mother's dowry is Xu Zhaoning's main purpose today.

"Xiaoqing, tell Mrs. Lin with your actions, and she will agree." Xu Zhaoning waved his wrist, and the little green snake flew to Lin Long's shoulder, and then climbed onto Lin Long's delicate face.

The icy cold creeping sensation made Lin Long startled, no longer caring about his posture, and screamed loudly.At the same time, other lazy big and small snakes also started to move, and the whole house became a mess.

"Xiaoqing is a bamboo leaf green, very poisonous." Xu Zhaoning reminded kindly, and then saw Lin Long trembling even more, closed her eyes and shouted at Xu Zhaoning: "I promise you, Xu Zhaoning, as long as you put these things Take them all away, and I will return all your mother's dowry to you!"

"Neng, sign and draw a deposit, everything is easy to talk about." He slapped the certificate he had prepared long ago in front of Lin Long, grabbed Lin Long's limp hand and pressed the fingerprint.

The sound of the flute was melodious, and the room that was originally full of snakes was as quiet as before, and no one knew where the snakes disappeared all of a sudden.

Lin Long finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed on the ground, the sweat on her forehead soaked the handkerchief.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaoning smiled and reminded: "I will come to talk to Mrs. Lin tomorrow, and please ask Mrs. Lin to keep her word. After all, this snake will appear at any time."

When the door opened, Lin Long didn't care about complaining about Xu Zhaoning, and only wanted to stay away from this terrible courtyard for the first time.Just after crossing the threshold, I heard someone calling from a distance, "Madam, Missy, the old lady welcomes you!"

Lin Long's body, which had finally been propped up with great difficulty, softened again. How could Songhetang be disturbed in the middle of the night?
Lin Long, who had survived the catastrophe, felt guilty, standing where she was not sure if she should go to Songhe Hall at this time.

On the other hand, Xu Zhaoning rolled his eyes, walked to Lin Long with a smile on his lips, propped up half of her body, bent over to the person who came, and said, "Uncle Laobai is here, Madam and I will go right away."

Under Lin Long's surprised gaze, Xu Zhaoning turned his head and said to her: "It seems that the news of the villain coming to the mansion has spread to the old Hou Ye's mansion."

"Bad guy? What kind of guy?"

Lin Long opened her mouth halfway, as if she couldn't understand Xu Zhaoning's words at all.

She wanted to struggle out of Xu Zhaoning's restraint on her arm, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.It seemed that Xu Zhaoning was supporting her, but in fact she was held in Xu Zhaoning's hands, which made Lin Long feel extremely uneasy.

I always feel that something seems to have escaped my control.

"Ma'am, why are you so confused? Didn't you just come to visit in a hurry because you heard that some villains had entered the mansion, and you were worried that Xu Zhaoning would be in danger living alone in Shaoyuan?"

Xu Zhaoning cast a reproachful glance at Lin Long, and then explained coquettishly to Uncle Bai sent by Songheyuan, "Uncle Bai doesn't know something, Madam loves him so much, he has to confirm that I am fine before he is willing to leave. I am planning to send Madam back Well, since the old lady has invited me, I will go there with the lady."

Uncle Bai was also obviously surprised by Xu Zhaoning's actions tonight. He looked at Lin Long probingly, hoping to get some explanation from her, but Lin Long was caught in a battle between heaven and man at the moment.

If you deny Xu Zhaoning's statement and say that you came here to catch the adulterer, there is no so-called adulterer to prove it.And as the stepmother, if the news spread that she went to the stepdaughter's yard to catch an adulterer, the world would only say that she was an unkind stepmother.

On the contrary, if Xu Zhaoning's statement is accepted, it will not only cover up her sudden appearance in Shaoyuan tonight, but also establish her good personality that treats her stepdaughter and her own daughter equally.

The old marquis always liked family harmony, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Long nodded when Uncle Bai looked over again, which was considered to be acknowledgment of Xu Zhaoning's statement.

Uncle Bai heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xu Zhaoning with a little more kindness, "It's fine as long as the eldest miss has nothing to do."

Xu Zhaoning smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, for your concern. I think the old lady must be waiting impatiently. Madam, let's report back quickly."

As he spoke, he supported Lin Long to move forward. His appearance was more positive than that of Uncle Bai. Lin Long felt that something was different, but Xu Zhaoning didn't give her a chance to regret it.

In the Songhe Courtyard, the old lady Xu Zhoushi was sitting with a dark face, and she almost had the word "unhappy" written on her face. To Xu Zhaoning's surprise, the old waiter Xu Renyu was also sitting in the main seat.

Before Xu Zhaoning and Lin Long crossed the threshold, Mrs. Zhou put on a cold face and said, "What kind of a moth is making such a fuss at night, and you won't let people sleep."

"It's my daughter-in-law's fault for disturbing my parents' rest." Lin Long stepped forward quickly, taking the opportunity to break free from Xu Zhaoning's restraint on her.

Xu Zhaoning pretended not to notice her strangeness, and resumed the original owner's usual persona again, following behind Lin Long with lowered eyebrows, showing a timid and fearful temperament.

"What's going on, shouting for beating and killing." The old Hou frowned and asked Lin Long, but Xu Zhaoning was completely ignored by him.

If Lin Long was only forced to accept Xu Zhaoning’s excuses in Shaoyuan before, then after going through this journey of calmness, she has to admit that there is no more suitable excuse for her to answer than the excuse of caring for the safety of her stepdaughter.

Worried about Xu Zhaoning's tricks, she rushed to speak in front of Xu Zhaoning and repeated her excuse.Of course, I didn't forget to pay for myself, and told how as a stepmother, I cared about the stepdaughter left behind by my first wife.

After Lin Long finished speaking, she still didn't forget to glance at the old waiter. Seeing that there was no displeasure on his face, she finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the next second, the teacup in the old lady's hand was picked up and put down heavily.

"It's outrageous! It's nothing more than a scoundrel with an unknown birth, but because of her, the whole family is disturbed. Lin, you are so confused!"

Xu Zhou's gaze was like a sword, cutting Xu Zhaoning inch by inch, seemingly reprimanding Lin Long, but in front of Xu Zhaoning, he demoted her to the bottom of the mud again.

Xu Zhaoning clenched her ten fingers into fists and held them tightly. Although she lowered her head, Xu Zhou's eyes had been delayed thousands of times from the corner of her eyes.

Old hag, just wait, if she can't repay her today's revenge, she will lose this great opportunity to live a new life in vain.
