With Bai Yi and Bai Yin standing in front, how could Zhong Xiaoqin be able to easily hurt Lin Nanyi?
The ladies who came today were all ladies and ladies from various families. The ladies were all gathered together to do housework or work hard for their husbands' careers, while the ladies were playing together in twos and threes.
It just so happens that only the ladies from each family are here now.
Zhong Xiaoqin made a lot of noise, and in just a few minutes, many young ladies stood nearby and whispered.
Lin Nanyi and the others didn't know each other, but Zhong Xiaoqin knew clearly that it was Lin Nanyi's bad luck to provoke Zhong Xiaoqin.
Bai Yi saw the right opportunity and pulled Lin Nan away when Zhong Xiaoqin rushed towards him. Zhong Xiaoqin, because of her inertia, threw herself to the ground and fell to the ground.
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.
She didn't want to laugh either, but she couldn't help it.
As soon as she laughed, those around her who were holding back began to laugh slowly.
For a moment, Zhong Xiaoqin felt that everyone around her was mocking her.
I was so ashamed and angry that I wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Several women who had been coming with Zhong Xiaoqin just now exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to help her up.
Their fathers are from the Taibao clan, and they have always relied on the Taibao to survive. To please the ladies of the Taibao mansion has naturally become a must for the ladies of each mansion.
What's more, Zhong Xiaoqin is the Taibao's favorite daughter, and her status in the Taibao mansion is no lower than that of the legitimate daughter.
Naturally, concubines look down on people like them, so they all selectively fawn over Zhong Xiaoqin, who is a concubine.
But this also gave Zhong Xiaoqin a misunderstanding, thinking that there would be no difference between her and her legitimate daughter.
Zhong Xiaoqin stood up under the combined efforts of several people. During the pulling process, someone stepped on her skirt and accidentally tore off a piece of it.
The milky white lining can be seen clearly.
Several people quickly blocked the place where she was torn off and helped her go to the backyard loft to change clothes.
In this era, if an unmarried woman is caught by her husband looking at her ankles, she will marry him, let alone the lining of her skirt.
After Zhong Xiaoqin left, everyone slowly dispersed. From the beginning to the end, no one came up to talk to Lin Nan. They didn't know who she was, and they seemed like they hadn't seen her.
Leave with their respective little sisters.
Lin Nan didn't think it mattered at all. This was better and avoided a lot of useless social interactions.
After the people left, the bamboo forest became quiet again. Lin Nanyi stayed in the bamboo forest for a while before returning to the garden.
Today's birthday banquet was held in the garden.
When she arrived, Mr. Zuo happened to be seated. Seeing her appear, he waved her over.
Zuo's position is to the lower left of the Censor's wife, and it is also the most distinguished position besides the Censor's wife.
Many women who had laughed at Lin Nanyi or Zhong Xiaoqin in the bamboo forest were surprised when they saw her walking towards Zuo.
Could it be... could she be the legendary woman brought by the Zuo family from Qinghe Town?
People who guessed it couldn't help but sigh for Zhong Xiaoqin. It's not good to offend anyone but the Bai family.
It looks like there will be something good to watch later.
Zhong Xiaoqin changed her clothes and came over, sitting directly next to Mrs. Taibao.
In addition to her, there is Zhong Ya, the legitimate daughter of the Taibao family.
Zhong Ya is pouring tea for Mrs. Taibao at the moment.
Gentle, pleasant and generous.
When Zhong Xiaoqin saw Lin Nan, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
"You...you...you..." You pointed at Lin Nan and said nothing.
The people around her were attracted by her actions, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Mrs. Censor invited quite a few people, and basically all the family members of fifth-rank officials were invited.
The garden was filled to the brim with everyone.
Zhong Xiaoqin's voice was so loud that it silenced the large garden instantly.
Zuo gave Lin Nan a plate of braised beef with cold vegetables, and Lin Nan was enjoying the meal.
He saw Zhong Xiaoqin pointing at herself and being speechless.
She didn't eat braised beef, so why was she choked?
When Zhong Ya saw this, she quickly slapped her raised hand. It was very impolite to point at someone with one finger.
Has she forgotten all her upbringing since childhood?
Zuo lowered his head and asked Lin Nanyi in a low voice, "Are you in trouble?"
Although he was asking, he was extremely gentle and didn't mean to blame him at all.
Seeing Zuo's expression, Madam Yushi secretly knew that this girl must be treated kindly.
Perhaps, if you want to build a relationship with the Bai family and the Zuo family, this girl will be the breakthrough.
After all, she had been making explicit and implicit hints in her words for a long time today, and Zuo seemed to not understand and didn't answer her words.
"What are you doing? Do you want to embarrass my Zhong family here?"
Zhong Ya lowered her voice, showing no anger or authority.
Zhong Xiaoqin realized that she had been so angry just now that she had forgotten the current occasion.
She secretly glanced at her mother's expression, her face was full of coldness, and she didn't know what to do. Zhong Xiaoqin knew that her mother was unhappy, so she quickly lowered her head and sat down.
Don't dare to make any more moves.
Zhong Ya smiled apologetically at everyone.
Zuo couldn't help but nod. She had to say that the daughter-in-law of the Taibao family had good etiquette, knew the importance, and had her own way of doing things without being arrogant.
Very good.
Then he turned to look at Lin Nanyi who was immersed in eating.
The admiration between the brows turned into doting. It was better for her. She didn't have to study so much and didn't have to worry about so much. The Bai family and the Zuo family could protect her from worries in Kyoto for the rest of her life.
She doesn't need to live in fear like other girls.
She can live her life however she wants.
After Zhong Xiaoqin sat down, the farce was finally over.
The dishes started to be served, and the dishes were all beautifully prepared, which was simply dazzling.
It seems that if we want to develop the industry in Kyoto, we must design the dishes more beautifully.
The food at the fish restaurant is still too rough.
How could it be developed by a delicate girl like her?
Hmm... No, I have to revise it as soon as possible when I get back.
Zhong Xiaoqin was suppressed by Zhong Ya, and she didn't dare to let out another fart.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Nanyi, and it was so obvious that Zuo could feel it.
Zuo raised his eyes and looked directly at her. Zhong Xiaoqin quickly looked away in panic.
"Do you know the third lady of this Taibao family?"
Now Lin Nan couldn't hide it anymore.
After telling the truth about what happened that day and today in the bamboo forest behind the rockery, Zuo was so angry that his fingertips trembled slightly.
"She is so brave. She actually dares to bully my legitimate daughter of the Bai family like this. Do you really think that if your father is not here in Kyoto, the Bai family will cease to exist?"
When Lin Nan saw this, he quickly cheered her up, "Mom, don't be angry. I haven't been bullied yet. Did you see the bloody cut on her forehead that she deliberately covered up? That means she wanted to bully me today and fell to the ground."
It was scratched out after a fall.
Don’t worry, mother, with sisters Bai Yi and Bai Yin by my side to protect me all the time, even if they want to bully me, they have to think carefully!”
Zuo Shi glanced at Bai Yi and Bai Yin, and they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Also, Bai Yi and Bai Yin are considered the most powerful among the female secret guards of the Bai family, so protecting Yi Yi is not a problem.
But she wants to give Yiyi the best, and naturally feels that the more protection Yiyi can get, the better.
Halfway through the banquet, everyone can go to other people's tables to toast or chat with each other.
Suddenly, Zuo's table was crowded with people.
Lin Nanyi used to think that Zuo was just an ordinary woman who lived in the inner house and devoted most of her time to her husband's family.
Only when she arrived in Kyoto did she realize that Zuo, like the strong women in previous lives, could also become a legend passed down by others.
She bowed and smiled appropriately at Zuo's side, answering some insignificant questions.
As for Zuo, no matter whether the other party really cares about her, or she is talking with a gun or a stick, or she is audibly agitated, she can retort her words without changing her face.
The whole figure seemed to glow, illuminating and affecting Lin Nanyi.
As a result, Lin Nanyi's way of dealing with things in Beijing and his calmness when encountering difficulties were all learned from Zuo.
She knew that Zuo was teaching her specifically.
I am afraid that she will suffer a disadvantage in Kyoto in the future.
With sore eyes, she understood that mothers think about their children.
More and more people came around, and Lin Nan's face froze when he smiled, while Zuo's smile was just the same as before, with the right arc.
Zhong Xiaoqin's gaze was so hot that if she hadn't been a woman, Lin Nan would have thought that a man who admired her was secretly looking at her.
A nanny hurriedly walked in from the side door with a solemn and frightened face. She walked to Madam Yushi and whispered something. Madam Yushi's originally relaxed and comfortable face suddenly changed.
But he quickly restrained himself, let the nanny beside him help him up, and headed towards Zuo's position.
When everyone saw the master approaching, they all made way for her.
Mrs. Yu Shi deliberately took Zuo's hand from an angle where everyone could see it, pretending to whisper eagerly, but in fact she was writing on the palm of her hand.
The word "emperor" was enough for Zuo to understand everything.
"The noble man is waiting for you in the backyard, and grandma will lead the way later."
Zuo nodded slightly, waited for Mrs. Yushi to take a few steps away, then took Lin Nanyi's hand and said to the people present, "Everyone, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. Let's go to the backyard to rest first, and you can continue."
After saying this, he bowed and bowed.
Who here dares to accept Zuo's gift, everyone hurriedly returns the favor.
"Mrs. Zuo, just go and leave, don't worry about us."
"Do I need to call the doctor?"
"Then go and have a good rest. Your health is not a trivial matter."
There were voices of concern all around.
Lin Nan didn't know why, but knew that Zuo would not harm her, so he followed her with confidence.
Grandma was leading the way, and she was also taking the path to the backyard, but no one could notice that something was wrong.
Grandma took the two of them to a house and stopped.
There were several women in uniform clothes standing guard in front of the house. They stood in front of the door politely. When they saw Mr. Zuo coming, they saluted her.
Zuo's hand squeezed Lin Nanyi's hand imperceptibly.
Lin Nanyi was even more curious now, who could be here who could make Zuo so nervous.
"Mrs. Zuo, my wife is inside, please come in."
The leading maid opened the door. It was pitch dark and nothing could be seen inside. It took Zuo a long while before she stepped forward, followed by Lin Nan.
As soon as the two entered the room, the door was closed from the outside.
Hearing the creaking sound of the door moving, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel his hair grow.
"coming."
A powerful and majestic voice came. This chapter has been completed!
