Chapter 112

Lin Yuan was in the garden of her mansion. All the flowers in the Luomei Courtyard were gone. She came to see if there were any other flowers and plants that could be planted in the Luomei Courtyard to make her yard look less depressed.

But she didn't expect that from a distance, she saw Ningshuang jumping up and down.

And the baggage dangling in Ningshuang's hands.

The baggage she personally delivered to Xiao Cui!

Lin Yuan's face instantly turned pale.

She watched Ningshuang happily walk in front of her, bowed, and then presented the bundle, "Second Miss, my lady said you left something behind, so she specially ordered the slave to bring it to you. Please open it and take a look, but What’s missing?”

Ningshuang smiled harmlessly, but it made Lin Yuan feel creepy.

She looked at the bundle and didn't even dare to reach out to pick it up. She only asked in a trembling voice, "Where does this come from?"

Ningshuang only found it funny, "The second lady left this behind. Where did it come from? Doesn't the second lady know?"

This time, Lin Yuan became more and more panicked.

Without thinking, he blurted out, "Sister went to see Xiao Cui?"

Ningshuang curled her lips and said somewhat helplessly, "Second Young Lady, my young lady is currently under house arrest in Fanghe Garden, but she has never stepped outside. You can't just accuse a good person casually!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help clenching her fists, feeling panicked.

She had just handed this baggage to Xiaocui this morning, and now it was noon and it was back in front of her.

What does this mean?

It means that as soon as she left, someone handed the baggage to Qiao Nian on the back!

It means that Xiaocui's side is always being monitored by Qiao Nian's people!

Thinking like this, Lin Yuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, "Xiao Cui has been punished and expelled from the Hou Mansion. Why does my sister send someone to monitor her? Why can't she let her go?"

She knew that questioning a maid was useless, but at this moment, she really couldn't help it.

How miserable Xiaocui’s life was!

The injuries on his body are still not healed now. He lives in a small thatched house and doesn't even have any decent clothes on him.

She finally found an opportunity to help Xiaocui, but now...

She doesn't understand why her sister can't tolerate Xiaocui so much?

Do you have to force Xiaocui to death before you give up?

The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the angrier she became, her eyes filled with tears, so pitiful.

If anyone else saw Lin Yuan like this, they would all be heartbroken.

However, Ningshuang followed her young lady and looked at Lin Yuan's red eyes. Instead of feeling pitiful at all, she actually smiled coldly, "What the second young lady said is really funny. Xiaocui is my young lady's biological sister. Is it wrong for the young lady to send someone to protect her own sister?”

Ningshuang said the word "sister" very loudly.

Lin Yuan was so angry that she cried, and her tears rolled down instantly, "How can there be such protection? Since she sent someone to watch, doesn't she know what kind of hard life Xiaocui is living now? I finally left her some privacy. A few days ago, but you got it back again! Wuwuwu..."

By the end of the story, Lin Yuan was in tears.

Ningshuang stood there, watching coldly, without a word of comfort.

He just waited patiently until Lin Yuan's mood stabilized a little, and then he said, "My young lady said that everyone has his own destiny. It is in his own hands to decide how his life will turn out. Others may be able to help him for a while, but they cannot. I. Since Xiaocui is my young lady’s biological sister, it is natural that my young lady is more worried, and it is not the second young lady’s turn to intervene.”

Ningshuang said, couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then forcefully stuffed the baggage in her hand into Lin Yuan's arms, "What's more, the servants who were kicked out by the Hou Mansion will never accept the support of the Hou Mansion again. If others find out, how will the Hou Mansion lose its face?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was stunned. She did not expect that this matter would involve such a serious matter in the Hou Mansion's face.

But I heard Ningshuang continue, "My young lady also said that the second young lady will be the mistress of the Xiao family in the future, and she should know what should be done and what should not be done. The jewelry in this bag has many other people's opinions. I can tell that it belongs to you, Second Young Lady. If this comes to the ears of the Xiao family, how will they treat Second Young Lady? I hope Second Young Lady can understand my young lady’s good intentions.”

After saying that, Ningshuang bowed slightly and saluted, then turned and left without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak.

Lin Yuan was left standing there blankly.

Returning to Fanghe Garden, Ningshuang found Qiao Nian, with uncontrollable excitement on her face, "Miss, Miss, you asked me to say it, and I said it! You didn't see the second lady's expression at that time, but Funny!”

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's smile unconsciously rose, but she asked, "Where is Wang Wu? Have you gone to find Xiao Cui?"

Ningshuang nodded, "You should have seen Xiao Cui by now, but Miss, do you think Xiao Cui will really believe that the second lady took back the bag of gold and silver?"

Qiao Nian smiled confidently, "Believe it or not, Xiaocui will come to Lin Yuan."

After all, Lin Yuan personally gave the package of gold and silver to him. Now that it has disappeared, Xiaocui will always come to Lin Yuan to ask for details.

Ningshuang asked again, "Then... the second lady really won't give it anymore?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip before saying, "The words "Mother of the Xiao Family" are enough to make her think twice. Even if she wants to give it, it will only be a little money at most."

If Xiaocui had not given that big bag of gold and silver before, Xiaocui might have been grateful for the small amount of silver.

But Xiao Cui had seen the bag of gold, silver and jewelry that was enough to make her rich for a lifetime.

In the end, she only got a few dozen taels. How could she be at peace?

Watching Lin Yuan enjoy wealth and glory, did she not bear any resentment at all?

Xiao Cui was the person who knew Lin Yuan best in the world, and the person who knew most of Lin Yuan's secrets.

Qiao Nian was a little curious, whether Lin Yuan was really as simple and clean as she seemed on the surface!

On the other side, Lin Yuan returned to her Luomei Courtyard with a big bag of gold and silver in her arms.

In her mind, Ning Shuang's words just now were intertwined with Xiao Cui's current predicament, and they kept flashing, making her extremely entangled.

She felt that Ning Shuang's words made sense. Since she was going to be the mistress of the Xiao family, she should not help a servant who was expelled from the Marquis's Mansion.

But Xiao Cui was not an ordinary servant!

How could she turn a blind eye to Xiao Cui's predicament?

After all, she shouldn't have put so many jewelry in the bag. Her sister was right. Many of these jewelry were bought by her brother. They were very valuable. People who knew the business would know that they were hers.

So, just give the silver!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan took out all the jewelry in the bag, and then wrapped the bag, intending to give it to Xiao Cui.

But as soon as she reached the door, she stopped again. After thinking again and again, she decided not to attract so much attention. She only took two ingots of silver from the bag and hid them in her sleeve pocket, and then left the house.

Who knew that as soon as she left the house, she saw Xiao Cui.

The girl suddenly rushed up, grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, and asked viciously, "Lin Yuan, why do you do this to me?!"
