Quickly wear the female supporting role, don't try to take advantage of me

Luo Chen didn't say anything, and walked all the way to her mother's yard. She happened to meet her father there, and the two were talking about Qing Wan. After Luo Chen went in, she bowed and said, "My daughter greets my parents."

Lord Lin looked at his well-educated daughter and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be so polite. Your sister will live in our house in the future. As her elder sister, you must take good care of her, understand?"

"Of course I know. I just came back from my sister's yard. She was crying so sadly."

Lord Lin sighed: "You should counsel her more and see if she needs anything. I'm afraid she would be embarrassed to speak up, so Luo Luo should pay more attention."

"Indeed, mother, why are the clothes and jewelry you sent so plain and simple? When my sister saw them, she thought our family didn't welcome her. She cried so hard and said that we gave her good things before, but now that my third uncle passed away, we won't give her good things anymore."

Lord Lin and Madam Lin frowned and looked at each other. Mother Lin asked, "Did Qingwan really say that? She doesn't understand why I gave her these things?"

"Yes, mother, you are the same. Whatever clothes you give me, give some to my sister. Our family has decided to adopt her, so we should treat her equally. You gave me several sets of light-colored clothes, but gave her some colorless clothes, and her jewelry was made of silver, which is not valuable at all."

Father Lin suddenly scolded: "Shut up, little girl, you know nothing and are talking nonsense here."

Mrs. Lin glared at Father Lin in anger and said, "Why are you scolding her? You know she has never experienced this and she is still young, but you don't teach her quickly, but you scold her instead."

Father Lin avoided looking at his wife and coughed lightly.

Mother Lin rolled her eyes at him again and explained to her daughter, "Qingwan's current clothes cannot be the same as yours. You are just a niece from another room. You don't need to observe mourning for your uncle. You only need to wear light-colored clothes for a few months to show respect and grief. Your headdress should also be simple. However, as an only daughter, she has to observe mourning for three years, especially during the warm mourning period, she must wear mourning clothes.

Besides, we just decided to have her come to our house yesterday. Do you think our embroiderer has three heads and six arms? How many clothes do you expect you can make for her in one day?"

Luo Chen nodded in sudden realization: "So that's how it is, Mom, I just found out."

Lord Lin looked at his daughter's embarrassed expression and smiled silently.

Mrs. Lin took this opportunity to continue teaching: "Another point is Qingwan's future marriage. Although our family adopted her and can treat her as our own daughter, in the eyes of outsiders, she is an orphan without a father or a mother. Many better families will not choose her in order to consolidate their power through marriage. Only if she has a good reputation for filial piety and our family's attitude, can she find a good family in the future. So a woman's reputation is very important, do you understand?"

"I got it." Luo Chen curled her lips. She missed the ancient world where people were open-minded.

Madam Lin called Hongyu in and scolded her, "Hongyu, you are also eighteen years old. Don't you know what the young lady doesn't know? Why didn't you remind the young lady and let her come here like this?"

Hongyu knelt on the ground and said in fear, "I know I was wrong. It was Xiaolian who complained that Madam neglected her young lady. I was so angry that I was ready to go in and explain, but I didn't expect that the young lady was kind-hearted and cared for her sister. She rushed to Madam. It was my fault. I should have explained it clearly to the young lady before going to Xiaolian. Please punish me, Madam."

Luo Chen also quickly pleaded: "Mother, I was too impatient. When I heard Xiaolian and Qingwan say that we neglected their young lady, I hurried to find you and ignored Hongyu."

Madam Lin asked Hongyu to get up: "Okay, this time it was just an accident. You must serve the young lady wholeheartedly in the future. The young lady is still young and doesn't know many things. I put you by her side to take care of these things for her."

"Yes, Madam Xie. I will do my best to serve you in the future."

After Madam Lin sent Luo Chen back, she said to Lord Lin, who had been silent the whole time, "The little girl next to Qingwan has some small thoughts. She can't be kept."

Lord Lin pondered for a moment and said, "You can't send her away now, otherwise Qingwan will be even more upset. You should explain these principles to Qingwan first, so that she won't be led by a little maid's words in the future. It won't be too late to send her away when she realizes it herself. It can also be regarded as giving Qingwan some experience."

Mrs. Lin nodded.

On the second day, Madam Lin brought a bunch of maids for Lin Qingwan to choose from. After choosing the maids, Madam Lin took Lin Qingwan's hand, explained the rules, taught her a few lessons, and then left.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I ran into Luo Chen.

"Why are you here now?"

Luo Chen took Madam Lin's hand affectionately and said, "I heard that my sister is selecting a maid, so I came to see her. Is mother leaving?"

"Yeah, I have other things to do, you go check on Qing Wan."

Luo Chen didn't let go, and looked at Mother Ding beside her mother, and said coquettishly: "Mom, please lend me Mother Ding and teach me how to embroider."

Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter strangely: "You still have the initiative to learn? Okay, since you are proactive, I will lend it to you. You have to study hard. I won't lend it to you for too long."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go in and deliver something and come out right away. Mother Ding, just come with me."

Mrs. Lin touched her daughter's hair and left with a smile.

Luo Chen brought Mother Ding back to Qingwan's courtyard. At this time, the maids went to their residence to pack up their things. There was only a housekeeper sweeping the yard. When she saw Luo Chen coming, she wanted to come up to greet him, but was stopped by Luo Chen.

When I took Mother Ding to Lin Qingwan's door, I heard Xiao Lian's complaints again.

"Miss, Madam Lin is really good at talking. It seems like she is making plans for you, but in fact, she doesn't want to spend money on you at all. What's the meaning of saying that you can't wear nice clothes during the mourning period, and you have to wear mourning clothes? Then why don't you send them to me and wear them after the mourning period is over? She also said that some children build a thatched hut in front of their parents' graves to observe mourning. What does she mean by this?"

Lin Qingwan sneered: "They are threatening me, making me obedient and grateful that they didn't send me to the thatched cottage."

"How vicious! The eldest lady is a lady from a wealthy family, but she coveted our family's wealth and said she would give it to the young lady after she gets married. How much will be left by then? I'm afraid there will be nothing left."

Luo Chen glanced at Mother Ding and his face turned dark.

Luo Chen heard people in the room still complaining about something, so he pulled Mother Ding and ran out.

"Mother Ding, kick that Xiao Lian out. How could she make such malicious assumptions about her mother? And Qing Wan is the same. She won't listen. If our family really doesn't want to take her in, then we won't take her back. Who can force her in?"

Mother Ding comforted Luo Chen and said, "Miss, please don't bother with that person in the future. I will go to the Madam first and then go back to give Miss some advice tomorrow, okay?"
