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

Luo Chen nodded obediently: "Well, okay, I don't have the mind to do anything else now anyway, Mom Ding, you go and do your work, I'm not in a hurry."

Yes, you'd better not come.

After Mother Ding insisted on sending Luo Chen back to her own courtyard, she went to the main courtyard and told Mrs. Lin all the information she had heard. Mrs. Lin was so angry that she smashed a cup on the spot.

"Humph, this girl is so ungrateful. I explained it to her so clearly, but she still suspected that I was going to harm her. She didn't even consider what she had to gain from me. With her little wealth, my dowry shop could earn back its earnings in half a year. What's there to gain from her? Only small families like them would value her. She is as short-sighted as her mother."

Mother Ding advised, "Madam, please don't be angry. It's not worth it for such a confused little girl. Madam, you should think about how to treat that person in the future. After all, you have already brought her in, and you can't throw her out again."

Madam Lin ordered people to take out Lin Qingwan's family property, including three shops, two farms and more than three thousand taels of silver, and asked Mother Ding to deliver them to Lin Qingwan.

"Just say that I was wrong before. Let her keep her things herself. Send her the list. I packed up her belongings in front of her. She has a copy of the list. Check it with her. Don't accuse me of embezzling her things later."

Mother Ding nodded and took the things to Lin Qingwan.

After Lin Qingwan received the things, she immediately asked Xiao Lian to put them away. Mother Ding took a look and left without saying anything.

The next day, Mother Ding came to Luo Chen's yard as promised. The moment Luo Chen saw her, his smile disappeared. He had nothing to say and could only go ahead.

In addition to teaching Luo Chen embroidery, Mother Ding also told Luo Chen to stay away from Lin Qingwan.

Luo Chen nodded to show that he understood.

Mrs. Lin also felt that her daughter should learn something because of Luo Chen's previous behavior. Therefore, the noble lady's course began. Mrs. Lin also taught everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting to social skills, household management, and the underworld in the back house.

Luo Chen was truly eye-opening.

Time flies, and Luo Chen is now a sixteen-year-old girl. Mrs. Lin is very satisfied to see her daughter's graceful and elegant appearance, but Luo Chen feels uncomfortable. She has been learning how to be a lady every day for the past three years.

In ancient times, when parents were not around, no one cared about them, so they could do whatever they wanted.

As for Lin Qingwan, because she had offended Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin was too lazy to teach her anything other than reading and writing. Mrs. Lin was also afraid that Lin Qingwan would lead her daughter astray when it came to studying, so she hired a random female teacher to teach her.

In her previous life, Lin Qingwan received the same elite education as Luo Chen. But in this life, she offended Mrs. Lin as soon as she came, so she was no longer treated the same as someone else's biological daughter.

Also, because Lin Qingwan had money, she often used the money to buy some things for herself outside. Mrs. Lin was a little disdainful of this because Lin Qingwan always felt that the things Mrs. Lin gave her were not as good as Luo Chen's things, and she often complained. These words were passed on to Mrs. Lin's ears by the little maid.

Therefore, as long as Mrs. Lin gave Luo Chen something, Lin Qingwan would also buy one for herself.

Lin Qingwan herself didn't understand these things, so she spent most of her money. Over the years, the shop owners and farms saw that she knew nothing, so they became more daring, and the harvest became less and less every year.

In her previous life, Lin Qingwan was taken care of by Madam Lin. When she entered the palace, she had tens of thousands of taels of silver in her hands. In addition to money given by the Lin clan and Luo Chen, Lin Qingwan never lacked money.

Not necessarily in this life.

On this day, Mrs. Lin took Luo Chen and Lin Qingwan to attend a banquet at the Prime Minister's house. After Luo Chen came out, he happened to run into Lin Qingwan in the garden and was stunned when he saw her.

This woman is like a moving jewelry rack.

"Why are you wearing so many jewelry? Isn't it heavy?" Luo Chen asked in surprise.

Lin Qingwan acted cautiously and said, "Sister, I, I just felt that I couldn't be disrespectful when I went to the Prime Minister's house, so I dressed up more formally. If you don't like it, I will go back and change it immediately."

Luo Chen's mouth twitched: "...I don't dislike it, don't talk nonsense."

"Sister, this is my first time and I don't know the rules, so..."

Luo Chen rolled his eyes at her and left. Couldn't you just talk it out nicely? Why were you hesitating so much? It was so annoying.

Seeing that Luo Chen ignored her, Lin Qingwan glared at him quickly and hurried to catch up. This was her first time attending a banquet since she came out of mourning, and she absolutely could not be outdone by Lin Luochen.

The two of them came out one after another. Mrs. Lin smiled and pulled Luo Chen over, but when she saw Lin Qingwan, the smile on her face faded all of a sudden. She wanted to say something but was pulled back by Luo Chen, so she said nothing.

"Mom, it's getting late. We should go."

Mrs. Lin nodded and left with the two of them.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were welcomed in, and the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to bring Luo Chen and Lin Qingwan in.

Along the way, Lin Qingwan's look was stared at by many people, but she thought that others found her beautiful and raised her head proudly.

When they arrived at the yard where the girls were gathering, everyone came up to say hello.

Luo Chen also introduced Lin Qingwan to everyone.

After saying hello, Luo Chen's good friend, Li Zhaozhao, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, came over and started talking to Luo Chen.

Lin Qingwan looked around and no one paid any attention to her. She felt depressed because these people looked down on her.

She looked at Luo Chen on the side and felt even more resentful. Knowing that she didn't know these people, Luo Chen left her here alone. She must have done it on purpose, fearing that she would outshine him.

Lin Qingwan walked over and asked with a smile: "Sister, who is this sister?"

Luo Chen smiled and introduced: "This is General Li's daughter, Li Zhaozhao."

Lin Qingwan bowed and said, "Hello, Sister Li. My name is Lin Qingwan. You can just call me Wan'er."

Li Zhaozhao also smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Lin."

Lin Qingwan looked at Li Zhaozhao pitifully and said, "Sister Li is so polite, do you think highly of me? I really want to make friends with you, but you..."

Li Zhaozhao looked at Lin Qingwan in astonishment. She didn't do anything. What was wrong with this woman? What was she saying?

Luo Chen was also stunned. She didn't expect Lin Qingwan to suddenly do this. What was she going to do?

"You, what do you mean?" Li Zhaozhao asked with wide eyes.

"Why doesn't Sister Li want to call me Wan'er?" She glanced at Luo Chen fearfully while saying this. "Is it because Sister Li doesn't like me that Sister Li doesn't want to get to know me?"

Everyone was attracted by the commotion here and looked over.

Those who didn't know the truth were just watching the fun. Since they were close by, they already knew what was happening, but they continued to look at the three of them without saying anything.
