concubines are respected

Chapter 61 Exogenous Branches
When De Suxian asked, Steward Lin chuckled, clasped his fists together, and said, "Fifth Master and Eldest Young Master are going to Zhizhou City this time because they have official business, so how dare they stay longer. We were already on our way early this morning. But before he left, Fifth Master specifically confessed about the fish basin, so he left the two younger brothers to take care of it and then rushed away."

Suxian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, she just left, she didn't want to have any more contact with the fifth master.Today's fish bowl seems to have good intentions, but it is not certain how much trouble it will leave for myself.Not to mention anything else, if the eldest lady knew about it, she would definitely be credited.

Thinking of the days that have not been quiet for a long time, Suxian might be disturbed because of the fish basin, so Suxian stroked her forehead again and again, really afraid of something.

The change in Suxian's expression did not attract the attention of the two servants, and the servant in Tsing Yi said respectfully, "Second Miss, do you think it is appropriate to place the fish basin here? If it is appropriate, the servant will leave."

It seems that the two young men were eager to catch up with their master who was one step ahead, so they begged Suxian a little anxiously so that they could return to their orders.

Suxian nodded helplessly, "It's very kind of you two little brothers."

The two got Suxian to talk, and immediately blessed themselves, and left Yixiang Pavilion in stride.

Butler Lin raised his hand to stroke the beard under his chin, and looked at Suxian with a smile on his face, just as he was about to step back.

Suxian's mind moved slightly, and she kept calling, "Steward Lin, stay here."

"Second Miss, what are your orders?" Lin Butler turned around and asked, although he asked in a low voice, but his expression was much more respectful than before.

Steward Lin is such a shrewd person, although he doesn't know who the honored guest, the Fifth Lord, is, but judging from the respectful attitudes of the old lady, the eldest lady and the young master, this Fifth Lord must be very honorable.

Judging from Wu Ye's attitude right now, he is obviously in love with Suxian, and the possibility of Suxian flying over the branches in the future is extremely high.Butler Lin dared to neglect the slightest.

"Steward Lin, who else in the mansion knows about this?" Suxian raised her finger and pointed at the fish basin, asking in a low voice.

"Hehe, if such a huge fish basin is brought in from the main entrance, everyone in the natural mansion knows about it." Seeing Suxian's cautious expression, Lin Butler said with a smile.

"Ah!" Suxian was speechless, and murmured in great frustration, "So, Da Furen already knew about it."

Butler Lin finally understood Suxian's meaning, turned around and said seriously, "Second Miss, I think I misunderstood what the old slave meant. The fish basin was carried into the mansion from the main entrance, and went straight to the backyard. The servant naturally knew. However, the old slave only knew about it after receiving the notice from the front yard steward. Moreover, the eldest lady and the old lady rested late last night, and they would wake up later than usual, so the matter of the fish basin entering the mansion , the masters are ignorant of that. No, this old slave is planning to report to Da Furen."

"Oh, don't worry! Butler Lin, Suxian has something to ask." Suxian hurriedly shouted when she heard the words, and at the same time took a step forward to give a deep blessing to Butler Lin. Before she could continue speaking, Butler Lin turned sideways in surprise , avoiding Suxian's salutation, "Second Miss, you are an old slave, just ask Second Miss if you have something to do."

Suxian stopped making rounds and said in a low voice, "The honored guest Fifth Master came to the mansion, how much the eldest lady attaches great importance to it, Lin Butler wants to know clearly. What is the eldest lady thinking, Lin Butler is an old man in the mansion, It’s very transparent without Suxian pointing it out. In fact, according to Da Furen’s mind, it’s absolutely inappropriate for this fish basin to appear in Yixiang Pavilion. It should have its proper place.”

After finishing speaking, Suxian looked directly at Steward Lin with clear eyes, her red lips moved slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's still early, and the servants only know that the fish basin has entered the backyard. As for which courtyard it entered, it must be unknown." No one paid attention. Suxian implored Steward Lin to make another arrangement, Suxian has no intention of fighting for strengths and weaknesses, just want to be safe, and hope Steward Lin will make it happen."

Although Suxian's words were cryptic, the meaning was very obvious.Not to mention the fine-looking Lin Butler, even Xiangcao, Cuiya and the others understood Suxian's meaning.

"Yes, what our second lady said is true. The fifth master is someone who is valued by the eldest lady. If it is known that the fifth master sent a bottle of exquisite fish bowl to the Yixiang Pavilion, wouldn't there be disputes for no reason. Taking advantage of this moment, Da Furen doesn't know about it, so it would be better to send it to Bichunxuan." Xiangcao was clever, and immediately said in the foreword.

"This." Butler Lin didn't expect that Suxian would politely reject this thing, so he couldn't help but say a little embarrassed, "Although the eldest lady has no time to report back, but there are so many people in the house, it is inevitable that no one saw the fish basin being carried in. Yixiang Pavilion, if you send it to Bichunxuan again at this time, wouldn't it be true if the young lady knows the truth in the future..."

Seeing that Steward Lin didn't agree, but his tone was relaxed, Su Xian quickly said with a smile, "That's simple. When you go back to Da Furen later, Steward Lin, you can tell that this fish basin was originally sent to Bichunxuan , it’s just that Fifth Lord’s servant is not familiar with the backyard, so he sent it to the wrong door. In this way, even if there are miscellaneous rumors below, the eldest lady will not suspect it.”

Although Suxian's method is feasible, Butler Lin frowned and fell silent.

Over the years, he is well aware of the grievances and grievances between the eldest lady and the second lady. Since the second lady passed away, how the eldest lady has treated the second lady. , I am too lazy to go to this muddy water.

Now the Second Miss is outspoken to ask for love, although it is only a trivial matter, but if she does it, it will be equivalent to standing on the path of the Second Miss, and unintentionally destroying her original neutral attitude.

But if he shirks the matter, given the current momentum of the second young lady's increasing promotion in the manor, she will undoubtedly make enemies rashly. After thinking about it, it is not worthwhile.

Besides, this fifth master has made it clear that he is interested in the second lady. Even if the second lady has no intention of adoring her, but as long as the other party is powerful enough and King Xiang is willing, why should she be afraid that the goddess has no dreams.Moreover, the marriage of the boudoir daughter has always been in the hands of himself.

Butler Lin thought about it, and was very embarrassed. He couldn't make up his mind for a while, what to do.

At this moment, there was an inaudible sound outside the door, Suxian raised her eyes and saw a pale pink dress flashing past the door.Looking at that figure, it seems to be Yinxiu, the maid in Lin Zhilan's room.

If the guess is correct, the news about Fifth Lord's gift of the fish basin must have been quietly spread in the mansion and reached Ling Zhilan's ears.The maid Yinxiu must have been the first to inquire about the authenticity.

Although Suxian is not afraid of trouble, she doesn't want to cause trouble, not to mention the relationship with that annoying fifth master, which makes her feel like a human being.

Yanzi is a martial arts practitioner, and her hearing is better than that of ordinary people. When Suxian discovered Yinxiu, she also noticed it.Then he quietly took a step forward, and sure enough, he saw Yinxiu clinging to the door, trying to eavesdrop on the movement in the courtyard.

Turning around, seeing that Butler Lin didn't express his opinion, Yanzi was clever, and deliberately raised his voice, "Since it was carried to the wrong place, Steward Lin can just ask someone to carry it away. Why bother rambling here, didn't the second miss say it, she won't Blame you for your dereliction of duty!"

Butler Lin was undecided at first, but when she saw Yanzi talking like this, she glanced at her in surprise, and was about to speak, but Suxian took the words with a smile, "What Yanzi said is right. Butler Lin doesn't need to explain more , Fifth Master’s servants don’t recognize the courtyard in the mansion, so it’s not surprising that they were sent to the wrong place. I don’t care, Lin Butler quickly ordered someone to carry it back to Bichunxuan, so as not to delay the time.”

After finishing speaking, Suxian smiled and glanced at the door of the room with the corners of her eyes like crescent moons.

Only then did Steward Lin understand what it meant. Now that he was on the verge of riding a tiger, Steward Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded, "Second Miss is magnanimous, and this old slave is ashamed. This old slave will order someone to carry the fish basin away, and I hope Second Miss will not Strange."

After finishing speaking, Butler Lin turned around and walked out of the courtyard.Just two steps away, Suxian called softly again, "Butler Lin, please stay."

"Second Miss, what other instructions do you have?" Lin Butler thought to himself, maybe he changed his mind again and was reluctant to be carried away.

"Hehe, although it's a trivial matter that the fish pot was sent to the wrong house, it was nothing but joy, which made Suxian lose face. I hope that housekeeper Lin will keep it a secret for Suxian, and don't let too many people know about it." Su Her slender eyes are clear and transparent, and she pretends to be depressed.

Lin Butler didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said inwardly: It's clear that you yourself don't want to cause trouble, insisting that Wu Ye's servants raised the wrong land.But at this time, he said such words, I really don't know what kind of plan this master has in mind.

Butler Lin turned around helplessly, and Nuonuo answered, turned around and just walked a few steps, but there was a burst of crisp laughter from outside the door, "Haha, it's early today, so I heard the servants say, two My sister got a good item. Since that's the case, why not let everyone open their eyes."

Butler Lin paused his steps, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise. The second young lady dared to know that the young lady was listening outside the door.That's why he deliberately said those words that he worried about losing face if it was spread out.The Eldest Miss and the Second Miss did not deal with each other, how could they miss such a great opportunity to ridicule and ridicule.

The second young lady's words and deeds clearly indicated that she was forcing the eldest young lady to show up, and if there was any trouble, she deliberately resolved it once, so as not to be entangled in this matter in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Butler is even more delicate in subduing Suxian from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Lin Zhilan leading two maids, Yinxiu and Liuqing, into the courtyard with a smile on her face, Suxian showed an 'embarrassed' expression on her face, and said in a low voice, "Miss misunderstood. Where is this?" The item Suxian got was sent to the wrong place by the servant, no, butler Lin is about to ask the servant to return it to you, elder sister."

"Really?" Lin Zhilan's smile grew stronger, her eyes swept across the courtyard, and finally stopped on the very conspicuous fish basin, and walked up slowly, "But this thing? Well, it's not like that. It’s a really fine piece.”

While talking, Lin Zhilan had already walked to the fish basin. When she saw the two colored carps in the basin, her eyes were filled with brilliance. She smiled coquettishly and exclaimed, "What a beautiful fish, Fifth Master really has a heart. Yesterday I I just said it casually. I like flowers, birds, fish and insects in my spare time. I don’t want to think about it. The fifth master has already left, and ordered the servant to send this thing. But the servant was confused and sent it to the wrong place, that’s all Anyway, it's just a trivial matter, and I don't care too much about it. It's just to make the second sister happy for nothing, so the second sister should not worry too much."

Lin Zhilan stared at the change of expression on Suxian's face with a half-smile, her eyes were full of mockery.

In fact, early this morning, Mother Zhang, the concierge, went to Lin Zhilan's room to reply, saying that she saw Fifth Master's servants carrying the exquisite fish bowl to Yixiang Pavilion.

Lin Zhilan didn't get angry when she heard that, she didn't care to think about it, so she hurried over to see what happened.Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the conversation between Suxian and Butler Lin, Lin Zhilan was full of anger, and suddenly disappeared, and her mood also turned from cloudy to sunny.Simply take this opportunity to go in and ridicule, and take the opportunity to have a good time.

Seeing that Lin Zhilan believed it, Suxian immediately smiled lightly and said, "Eldest sister said, it's just a small matter, so don't take it to heart." Then she turned her head and said to Butler Lin, "Butler Lau Lin will come over, Go to the front yard and call the boy to carry the eldest sister back to Bichunxuan."

Butler Lin responded and left quickly.Although Lin Zhilan smiled calmly, the provocation hidden in her expression was self-evident. He didn't want to stay here for a long time and cause unnecessary disputes.

Watching Lin Butler leave, Lin Zhilan walked to the fish basin with a smile, and used the silk in her hand to circle the light blue water to tease the fish, and from time to time she glanced at Suxian proudly, looking very happy is good.

At this moment, Butler Lin's deliberately low voice came from outside the room, "Hey, wait a minute, brother, I'll just convey something if you have something to say."

Suxian's complexion changed slightly when she heard the words, and she looked out of the room with strange eyes.The voice outside the door caught Ling Zhilan's attention, "Whoever is outside, come in and talk!"

As soon as the words fell, the young man in green who was in charge of delivering the fish bowl just now left and returned, and as soon as he entered the door, he respectfully said to Suxian, "Second Miss, the slave just left in a hurry, and almost forgot the master's explanation. The master said, although this fish basin is exquisite, it is made of adobe porcelain after all, how can it match the colorful carp's dazzling appearance. When I have free time, my master will replace it with a vessel that is enough to match, please wait quietly for the second lady. "
