Lin Wan held the Lu family heirloom in her hand and tossed and turned on the bed all night, pulling her hair out in annoyance. She fell asleep in a daze when the sky turned white. Before she could sleep well, Qiu Zi got up early in the morning.

Pushing Lin Wan, she called softly: "Girl, it's time to get up. My eldest aunt and second aunt are coming back today, so girl, you'd better get up early."

Lin Wan buried her head in the pillow. After a long while, she groaned and sat up from the bed. Her eye circles were swollen and her hair was messy. She said with a hint of confusion: "Clothes..."

Qiu Zi hurriedly took the clothes at the foot of the bed, then tilted her head and looked at Lin Wan's eye circles, wondering: "Girl, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are the eye circles so swollen? You need to apply ice cubes."

Lin Wan was dizzy and half-opened her eyes. When she touched the clothes, she put them on her body. Qiu Zi sighed when she saw this, and stopped Lin Wan dumbfounded. She straightened the clothes again and supported Lin Wan, who was soft and sleepy.

In the evening, I changed my clothes skillfully and then shouted outside: "There's hot water!"

The little girl outside said "come here", and not long after, several girls carried water and food boxes and entered the yard one after another. Forsythia took the hot water and handkerchief from the little girl's hand, wrung it out and handed it to Lin Wan

In front of her, Lin Wan applied it on her face indiscriminately. A warmth spread to her face, and her sleepiness disappeared a lot.

Qiu Zi hurriedly wrapped some ice cubes in a handkerchief and applied it to Lin Wan's eye circles. Zhu Hibiscus came up and combed Lin Wan's hair. Several girls took turns to come forward and help Lin Wan wash and dress in an orderly manner, and then served her breakfast.

Put it up.

"How come the eldest sister and the second sister are able to spend one day together this year?" Lin Wan asked aimlessly while turning the spoon.

"What else could it be because of? In previous years, my aunt came here on the second day of junior high school. Yesterday, the mother-in-law of the Yuan family told me that something was delayed. What could be the reason? It's not that their uncle is ridiculous..." Forsythia curled her lips.

There was disdain in his tone.

Qiu Zi hurriedly touched Forsythia with her elbow and glanced at Lin Wan. Forsythia saw that Lin Wan's face was not very good, so she quickly shut up and stood quietly aside with her head lowered.

The room became silent for a moment. Lin Wan stared at the spoon in her hand for a long time, reluctantly drank some porridge, threw the bowl and asked Forsythia: "What else have you heard?"

When Forsythia saw this, she immediately beamed. After thinking about it, she frowned and said: "I heard it from somewhere else. Girl, don't blame me for talking nonsense. Yuan... didn't my eldest uncle charge a lot of money from his wife? Some time ago, he paid another

I got a girl named Yue He. I heard about it last time when people from the Yuan family came over to give gifts. Yesterday when the old lady came, I heard their maid whispering to the old lady. It seemed that the first-in-law was pregnant...

..." When Forsythia said this, she stuck out her tongue under Qiu Zi's admonishing gaze, and smiled at Lin Wan, "That's what they said themselves, I just listened to it, girls can't blame me!"

Lin Wan waved her hand helplessly towards Forsythia. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It is not easy for women these days. Meeting someone like Yuan Ziye, coupled with her mother-in-law making things difficult, the eldest sister would have such a miserable life!

"What nonsense are Forsythia talking about?" Outside the house, Aunt Cao breathed in the heat. The little girl opened the curtain, smiled and entered the house. She stood for a while at the door. She smiled at Lin Wan and said, "Girl, I fell down today.

It’s too late.”

Lin Wan hurriedly stood up and grabbed Grandma Cao, her eyes a little more cheerful. "Why are you back today, Grandma? How is your family?"

"Everything is fine." Grandma Cao patted Lin Wan's hand gently and stood further away. "Girl, stand further away. My whole body is covered with air conditioning. I seem to hear this girl Forsythia saying what's wrong with the Yuan family again?"

"Yuan Ziye was diagnosed with pregnancy. My eldest sister didn't come back yesterday. I'm afraid it's because of this." Lin Wan pulled down the corner of her mouth, not hiding the disgust on her face. She pulled Aunt Cao and sighed, "

What kind of people are they! My eldest sister is living a life like this, it is better not to get married!"

Aunt Cao sighed softly, knocked on Lin Wan's forehead and persuaded: "Girl, don't say this in front of my aunt. It's not easy for women in this world, and my aunt is not very lucky, and she doesn't know how to plan. Hey

…”

A few people were talking when a little girl outside came to report that the second aunt and uncle were back. Lin Wan hurriedly took the girl to find Mr. Liu, and the mother and daughter went to the main courtyard together.

Lin Yuan, the second daughter of the Marquis of Chong'an Mansion, was born as a concubine and married the second master of the Guo family to fill a house. The husband and wife were nearly twenty years apart. The second wife of Mr. Guo also had a son who was the eldest, and she and Lin Yuan were the eldest.

Same age.

Lin Yuan got out of the car and went to the inner courtyard surrounded by the maids and women. The second master of the Guo family took Guo Dalang and was led by a servant to visit Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Wan saw Lin Yuan's rosy face and her eyes filled with joy from a distance. When someone walked in, she smiled and said to Liu, "Second sister looks better than last year."

Mr. Liu nodded, glanced at Lin Yuan, and smiled.

Lin Zhi followed Mrs. Feng obediently, her eyes slightly envious.

Lin Yuan smiled all the way as she greeted Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu, and asked her servants to take purses and give them to Lin Wan and others. However, she didn't even ask Mrs. Yang Er and Lin Min who were not present, she just smiled.

After talking about some family matters, he finally whispered in a shy voice: "I was diagnosed with pregnancy a year ago, but I still won't let you go out. I had to persuade you to come back. It's not that far away..."

Mrs. Feng's eyes dimmed, and then she forced a smile and said: "You should be more careful. It will take a long time before you come back. At least send someone to say something. Even if you don't come back, it doesn't matter. It won't be a bad time."

"I know auntie loves me."

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and the Yuan family's carriage arrived outside. Mrs. Feng hurriedly asked people to greet her out, but only Lin Lan came in alone. Lin Lan's face was pale and without a trace of blood, and she just forced a smile when she saw Lin Yuan.

He smiled but didn't say much.

When Lin Wan saw Lin Lan like this, she sighed secretly in her heart.

"Uncle, I have something to do today, so I came here first." Lin Lan was pulled by Mrs. Feng and explained in a dry voice.

Mrs. Feng frowned, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and ordered the servants at home: "Please come in and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

The maids and ladies hurriedly responded and took several servants of the Yuan family to the side.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan hurriedly smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "Last time I came back to ask Third Aunt for advice on embroidery work, and I embroidered a small panel when I got back. I just brought it here today, and Third Aunt will take a look and see if she has made any progress!

"

Ms. Liu responded with a busy smile. Lin Zhi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and pulled Lin Wan and said: "I am also embroidering a screen, and my second sister will also teach me!"

"Let's all go. It's warm in your third aunt's room, and Sister Wan is a playful person, so you should also talk." Mrs. Feng smiled at several people.

After everyone walked away, Mrs. Feng stopped her smile. A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she said to Lin Lan: "What's going on? Is Tongfang really pregnant?"

Lin Lan's eyes were dull, and she sneered with a sad face: "I have hired several doctors to check my pulse during the New Year, how can I still have a lie?"

Mrs. Feng took a breath, hurriedly pulled Lin Lan, and persuaded her in a soft voice: "Don't worry. I'm just a roommate..."

"Yes, it's just a first-in-law..." Lin Lan's voice became lower and lower, she covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly. "But that's a first-in-law who can give birth to a son..."

Mrs. Feng felt angry and sad at the same time. Her eyes turned red and she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to persuade her. Her daughter had been married for so many years but failed to have children. Now her eldest son-in-law is thirty years old. That's why she has this

An heir, the Yuan family... Mrs. Feng thought of this, and a trace of darkness flashed in her heart.

Mother and daughter faced each other for a long time before Mrs. Feng sighed heavily: "Stop crying. Can you still use the prescription I gave you?"

Lin Lan's tears kept rolling down, she cried silently and nodded: "I keep using it, but..."

"Listen to me," Mrs. Feng straightened her face. She took Lin Lan's hand and looked directly into Lin Lan's eyes. "You have been nursed back to health for so many years. We also secretly invited many famous doctors to check your pulse, and they all said that you can

Childbirth. But after so many years... I'm afraid the problem lies with Da Lang. No one in your house has ever been pregnant, so why is the new girl so lucky? Think about it carefully and see what's wrong with that girl.

"

"What does mother mean?" Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mrs. Feng in horror. "That girl, how dare she?"

"Why don't you dare!" Mrs. Feng shouted flatly, "Don't be stupid! People who want to climb up have all the courage. Just hold on, I need to investigate this matter carefully. Remember, you

We can’t take action, we have to make Dalang himself suspicious!”

Lin Lan nodded blankly. "I understand."

In the evening, Lin Lan hurried back to Yuan's house, her face even paler than when she came. Mrs. Feng steeled herself and settled down Lin Yuan and the Guo family, and then ordered people to prepare dinner, which was regarded as a banquet.

After the excitement, Lin Wan yawned and returned to the courtyard with Mrs. Liu. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the rosy-faced Lin Yuan and Lin Zhi, who was watching Lin Yuan silently. She muttered to Mrs. Liu, "The third sister looks pitiful.

"

Mrs. Liu smiled and flicked Lin Wan's forehead and said: "Are you talking nonsense again?" After saying that, she sighed. "Who told her aunt... Hey, forget it, I'll mention it to your aunt later.

, is also a person who suffers in vain..."

Lin Wan nodded groggily. Mrs. Liu watched with laughter and tears as Lin Wan nodded and dozed off. She softly called Aunt Cao and Qiu Zi and sent Lin Wan back to the house to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Wan finally had enough sleep and got up in high spirits and stretched herself. After getting dressed, she noticed that all the maids in the room had serious expressions on their faces.

"What's going on? Who deducted your monthly payment?" Lin Wan asked Forsythia with a smile.

Forsythia frowned and glanced at Qiu Zi. Qiu Zi pursed her lips and stared back. Forsythia hurriedly curled her lips and blinked at Lin Wan.

"What's going on?" Lin Wan was surprised, and her face became a little more serious. When she saw Aunt Cao coming in, she hurriedly grabbed her and said curiously: "Auntie, please tell me, what happened? What's going on?"

All the girls in the room kept their heads down and said nothing, and those who didn’t know thought I had treated them harshly!”

Aunt Cao glanced around the room, frowned slightly, and sighed with some sadness: "It's about the third girl. Last night, the elder man of the Guo family drank two more drinks and met the third girl in the yard. Somewhat...

Pulling, happened to be seen by the people on the other side of the second room, and they went to the first lady's place to make a fuss. The girl was sleeping deeply, and the madam didn't let her scream. The second girl didn't sleep all night, and left early this morning with the Guo family and his son.

.The third girl... was sent to Zhuangzi overnight."

Lin Wan listened to Aunt Cao's words in astonishment, and her mind was a little confused. How could these things happen in just one night? Although Lin Zhi was a little thoughtful, she was a girl from the Hou family and would not be so shameless. Even with Guo Dalang

When there was some pushback, everyone would just cover it up and get over it, but if it was so serious that they had to report it to Zhuangzi, this matter...

A good girl, the rest of her life is ruined... Lin Wan gradually felt an unspeakable sourness in her heart. In this world, it is not easy for a woman to live.

Lu Junzhao's gloomy eyes suddenly flashed through her mind, and Lin Wan clenched her fists. She could not let herself fall into such a passive situation no matter what. She must live well! (To be continued. If you like this work
