Chapter 197 Our Marquis Mansion can’t afford to lose face!
She was quite capable. As soon as she heard about Lin Yue's situation in the mansion, she immediately took the initiative to prepare a lot of things, just waiting for this day!
As he spoke, he glanced at Lang, and Lin Chong gave her a glare. As the legal wife, she didn't even think about this matter before the concubine, which really made him dissatisfied.
Lin Ru wanted to step forward and argue for Lang, saying that Lang had put a lot of effort into preparing Handan Courtyard, but Lang held her back and secretly shook his head at her!
Aunt Chen and the other two are concubines. I'd better take a closer look at the gifts they prepared today. While I'm preparing them, I can also try to outshine them. I can't be inferior to them.
Aunt Chen had prepared four identical sable fur capes for the children to wear when the weather turned cold! The capes were even hand-embroidered with dark silver patterns, a truly exquisite and thoughtful touch.
Aunt Zhuang prepared four small red gold bracelets, and Aunt Zhao prepared four golden lockets. Both were very generous.
The four men accepted the gifts with great joy and acted very happy. How could they not be happy to receive gold?
"As long as you like it, Grandfather didn't prepare any gifts today, so I'll give you each a gold ingot first, and I'll give you the gifts later, okay?"
When the four men heard that there were gold ingots, their eyes suddenly lit up. When Lin Chong saw their expressions, he knew that they were four little money-grubbers!
Lin Ru felt disgusted in her heart.
"After all, he grew up in the countryside! He's a poor man who suddenly became rich and has never seen the world!"
She muttered softly, thinking that the four Langs couldn't hear her, but Sanlang's hearing was not comparable to that of ordinary people, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Who is that? You said we should call you aunt. What are you mumbling about? I heard it all! You said we were country bumpkins who grew up in the countryside! Isn't that right?"
"Humph! It seems that the people in Grandpa's family don't welcome us! And what about Auntie? It's fake, it's fake, you can't even pretend! Big brother, why don't we just leave! You dare to insult us in front of Grandpa! You're really bullying the kids!"
As he spoke, Sanlang pulled his brothers out.
Lin Chong hadn't reacted yet, and by the time he did, the four men had already taken several steps!
"Oh, children! Children! Don't go! Ru'er, how can you talk like that! This is how your mother taught you! You have no manners at all! No matter what they say, they are still your nephews!"
After glaring at her fiercely, Lin Ru burst into tears of grievance. She had just said one word. Her father usually doted on her so much, but now he scolded her in public for four little brats. Where could she put her face?
"Dad! I'm your daughter, they're just your grandchildren! I just said something! Why are you scolding me like that? Besides, they're not my nephews at all!"
"You still said that!"
Lin Chong raised his hand high, but he didn't hit her yet. He only stopped when Lin Ru stopped talking in time. Lang quickly apologized for her and pulled Lin Ru behind him.
"My Lord! Ru'er knows she's wrong! She's not feeling well today, and she's been walking for so long! She must be tired. I'll take her downstairs to rest first, and I'll definitely give her a good talk!"
After saying that, he pulled Lin Ru away without saying anything!
Seeing her leave, the four men looked at Lin Chong straight with red eyes.
"Grandpa, doesn't my aunt like us? Because we grew up in the countryside!"
"Aren't my aunt and mother sisters? Why is she so fierce?"
"Doesn't she like mother too?"
"She said we are not her biological nephews!"
A series of soul-searching questions made Lin Chong's forehead sweat. When had he ever treated such a big child like this? He had been trying to curry favor with her, but now it seemed that he, as a grandfather, had no dignity at all! He couldn't even discipline his own daughter!
After a long pause, he managed to utter, "She is definitely not your mother's biological sister!"
After saying that, he just wanted to slap himself in the face. What kind of words were those? He actually said such words in front of the child! It seems that he really needs to reflect on whether his attitude is too humble.
The four men looked at each other, their faces visibly falling.
"It turns out it's true!"
"You...don't think too much! She just has a spoiled temper. She hasn't been with your mother for years, so she's a little willful. Grandfather will definitely discipline her!"
The four men didn't dwell on this matter. When they heard that Handan Courtyard was prepared for their mother, they moved in directly. They wanted to live there to check on their mother.
Anyway, they remembered the terrain of the mansion and the situation in each courtyard.
"Grandpa, we'll live here! When mom comes, we'll live together!"
"Good good!"
Before they settled down.
Someone is coming from the Southwest Palace!
Ye Er personally came to deliver daily necessities to the four young masters, filling up four large carts. When Ye Er heard that the four young masters had returned to Beijing and moved into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, saying that they wanted to vent their mother's anger, he immediately understood.
You have to cooperate!
So we prepared four large trucks of stuff and brought them here with great fanfare!
Just want to slap Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the face!
"My young master, if you are not used to living in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, you should go home and live!"
As soon as Dalang saw Ye Er, he understood what he meant and waved at him, showing the aura of a young master!
"No need! This is my grandfather's house. Before my mother gets married, she should leave her parents' home. When she arrives in the capital, she will come here! We will wait for her here!"
Lin Chong was very happy to hear this, but Dalang changed the subject.
"But my mother doesn't remember her own life experience, nor does she know the habit of living or not."
The four men looked worried, but Ye Er comforted them with a few words.
"With your mother's merits, His Majesty will definitely reward her with a mansion! Don't worry about that!"
The implication is, who is your mother? How could she be short of a place to live?
Lin Chong, who was standing next to him, was extremely anxious after hearing this. If Lin Yue moved somewhere else, how would the Ningyuan Marquisate put up a face? Wouldn't that mean that Lin Yue didn't recognize their Marquisate?
That won’t do, absolutely not!
"Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is her home, how can she live anywhere else! Of course she should live in her own home. If a daughter doesn't live with her parents after getting married, she will be laughed at! Our Marquis Mansion can't afford to lose face like that, don't you think?"
Ye Er bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty is right. Everything will wait until Madam returns to the capital. I'll trouble you to take care of the young master! Especially the servants. If it's inconvenient for the Marquis' Mansion, I can send someone over!"
What that means is, he can't take care of your own affairs, and you have to handle them yourselves when Lin Yue comes back.
However, if the young masters are wronged, the Southwest Palace will not agree!
Lin Chong gritted his teeth secretly but could do nothing. It was normal for people to worry. After all, he had said that his own daughter had lost her memory after being poisoned by the servants!
"Don't worry, Steward Ye. I will instruct the people in the mansion to do their best to serve them! After all, the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion is their in-laws, and we won't let them suffer any grievances!"
"Please take these things back. Their food and drink expenses are no worse than those in the palace. Steward Ye, don't worry!"
This is what Ye Er was waiting for. "In that case, I'll trouble you, Lord!"
