117 Betrayal
According to the process of the banquet, the opera troupe arranged by Liu Ruyan had already started to prepare. Seeing that the old lady and the female family had already sat down, she respectfully sent the opera score to her, "Please ask the old lady to order the opera."
The old lady took over the opera score, ticked "Peony Pavilion", then handed the opera score to Liu Ruyan, and smiled and said, "You choose one."
When I watched the show, the old lady always ordered two things she liked. Chu Yu didn't like to watch these things, and others were not qualified to point fingers. Today's different, Liu Ruyan's identity has changed and she could not speak in the same way.
Liu Ruyan was ecstatic, but she looked calm on her face. She took the opera score generously and called out "Peach Blossom Fan". The maid behind her immediately took over the closed opera score and returned it to the troupe's headmaster.
Seeing that her movements were generous and dignified, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
On the stage, a big gong sounded and the music suddenly started. The female members below all turned their eyes to the stage. While eating melon seeds and occasionally whispering and chatting, they swept the Liu Ruyan sitting side by side with the old lady. Some of them burst into disdain, and some of them flashed with envy and jealousy.
After all, it was a merchant family who could make a concubine the wife of the main wife, and this family seemed to be quite happy. Even the eldest lady of the Chu family, who has always been known for her "inducing trouble", attaches great importance to this person.
It's true that the merchants are weird.
Everyone was thinking about it with their own thoughts, but no one noticed a gorgeous figure flashing by at the corner gate. Even if someone noticed something was wrong, they only thought it was their own eyes.
"Mother, I'll go get some breath." Among the female members watching the show, the Lin family's mother and daughter were arranged behind the old lady and Mrs. Chu, which gave Lin Zhihai a great face. At this time, Lin Wanqing said with a pale face: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. Now I heard the sound of drums and drums, and I felt a little panicked and wanted to go to the garden to play with the Chu sisters."
Mrs. Lin looked over with a look of distress, "Then you go."
The mother and daughter spoke very lowly to avoid disturbing others' viewing the show, but they did not deliberately avoid anyone, especially the old lady and Mrs. Chu who were sitting in front, they could hear it clearly, which was also an explanation from the guest to the host.
Mrs. Chu turned her head and saw that Lin Wanqing's expression was indeed a little bad. She told Xia Lu beside her, "Take Miss Lin to the garden to play with the ladies." After that, she looked at Mrs. Lin and laughed in a low voice: "The children don't like to watch these things. Look at the ladies in our family, so they simply didn't come to join in the fun."
Seeing that Mrs. Chu was so open-minded, Mrs. Lin smiled and replied in a low voice: "Yes, they just like to get together and chatter and play. Forget it, they are all children, let them go."
After the small episode, everyone continued to watch the show, but no one paid attention to why Lin Wanqing left or where she went.
On the other hand, Lin Wanqing followed Xia Lu and walked towards the small garden just now. Along the way, he looked like a scene of wealth and prosperity. Mr. Lin had been an official for so many years, so he could not have been a person who was not moved at all. He was also greedy for taxes and plundered the wealth of the people. But the little money he got with his head and tried his best to get was not as much as the amount that the Chu family had spent casually. How could she balance her mind?
The Chu family first destroyed the Li family, but now they have to deal with the Han family. Then, can it be her father Lin Zhihai?
Lin Wanqing pursed her lips tightly, and her bright fingertips clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. The unwillingness and jealousy in her heart rose again. Today's matter must be successful.
The two of them walked one by one. When they reached the connecting corridor between the two courtyards, Lin Wanqing's feet slipped. Before he could even scream, he heard a "bang" and fell to the ground. By chance, his head hit the pillar, his forehead was already bloodshot, his palms were worn out, and one of his shoes was also broken, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Xia Lu was shocked by Lin Wanqing's miserable situation. His first reaction was that after all, the Lin family would definitely cheat the Chu family.
But she was also the eldest maid next to Liu Ruyan. After a moment of panic, she returned to normal soberness.
"Miss Lin, where did you fall?" Xia Lu squatted down and did not dare to touch Lin Wanqing easily, but looked at her exposed injuries carefully.
Lin Wanqing took a few breaths of cold air in pain, and did not care about the worn palms. She subconsciously supported the wound on her forehead and asked in a crying voice: "Good sister, is my forehead broken? Am I disfigured?"
Lin Wanqing is very beautiful, with a kind of graceful beauty. She is full of ladies in every move. Even though she collapsed on the ground, her hair was loose and her eyes were filled with tears, she still would not feel disgusted at all. She would only feel that the beauty was crying and guilty.
"Miss Lin is not distorted, but... it's just a little blood." Xia Lu's heart was a little panicked. Seeing that Lin Wanqing was about to cry, he hurriedly said, "I'll help you to the next door to take a rest."
Lin Wanqing choked and let tears slide down her cheeks, sympathizing with people.
"Or... I'll invite the eldest lady first and then invite the doctor to come over, okay?" Xia Lu was also a little panicked. If Lin Wanqing cried at this time, she might have a way to leave her aside and ignore her, but not only did the other party not cry, she still looked aggrieved, and no one could bear it after seeing it.
Lin Wanqing twitched her nose and looked at Xia Lu with tears in her eyes, "Good sister, remember to bring me a piece of clothes when she comes back."
"..." You really love beauty.
Xia Lu jogged all the way to find Chu Yu first, and saw the three sisters of the Chu family, Gu Changling and An Ruoruo gathered in the pavilion to play cards. The atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious. The little maids they brought were also sitting aside eating melon seeds and chatting, occasionally storing some water for their master's teacup, or peeling fresh fruits to their master's mouth. It was extremely relaxed and comfortable.
At this time, she didn't care about envy and ran to Chu Yu in a panting manner, narrating the matter unhurriedly. The hilarious atmosphere in the venue suddenly dropped to freezing point, and everyone looked at each other, and saw a hint of vigilance and alertness in each other's eyes.
