Cypress Boat Floating

The silver she received today was much more than Lin Ruoyun had imagined. She was very happy and couldn't wait to find a broker to buy the house she liked. She was lucky because no one was interested in the house because of its high price, so she kept it until today.

When the broker saw that Lin Ruoyun really brought the money, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he signed the deed with Lin Ruoyun on the spot. Looking at the heavy door key in her hand, Lin Ruoyun suddenly felt a sense of security that she had never felt before. From then on, she finally had a home that truly belonged to her and her sister. This home was no longer a place where they lived under the roof of others and depended on others, but a safe haven where they could live in peace and no longer worry about being evicted. This feeling was something Lin Ruoyun had never experienced before.

Before returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruoyun went to the house again. The house is located in the central part of the West District, surrounded by ordinary civilians. There is a butcher's shop next door, and every morning there is a burst of fresh meat aroma; not far ahead, there is also a pharmacy, where doctors sit in every day to provide medical services to nearby residents. Such a geographical location is really convenient, whether it is daily shopping or seeing a doctor and getting medicine, it is very convenient.

Although this courtyard cannot be compared with the Lin Mansion, it is not small in size. It presents a square pattern, giving people a sense of simplicity and clarity. The gate is open to the southeast, as if welcoming every visitor. The courtyard is clean and tidy, without too much dust. It is obvious that the previous owner took good care of it.

The previous owner of this courtyard was originally from Jiangnan. Now he was going back to Jiangnan with his family to develop, and no longer missed the prosperity of Beijing. Therefore, most of the large furniture in this courtyard was not taken away, but left here. This was really a great bargain for Lin Ruoyun. Now, she can save a lot of money on buying furniture. The money she had saved for more than ten years was invested in this overnight. There was not much money left, and the money in her small purse could only support their daily living expenses.

Lin Ruoyun stood at the door and looked at the yard with joy, her eyes shining with satisfaction and her heart full of emotion. This yard will be a new starting point for her and her sister, their new future, a home full of hope and warmth that belongs to them. She is looking forward to the future and creating more beautiful memories here.

Then, she turned and left, walking quickly back to the Lin Mansion with her longing for a new life. She wanted to take her sister to see their new home. Her sister would be very happy if she saw it. The patio in the new yard was so big that she could even build a swing on the side for her to swing on.

Lin Ruoyun thought to herself that she must completely draw a line with the Lin family tonight! Then she would take her sister away and stay away from this place. But before that, she had to send her sister to the courtyard safely. In this way, if the Lin family intended to make things difficult for the two sisters, she could still let her sister go to Madam Ye. After all, judging from her face, Madam Ye seemed quite kind and might be willing to lend a hand to help them.

As soon as she entered the gate of the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruoyun ran to her sister's room without hesitation. She originally planned to take her sister to visit the new house directly, but...

Silence enveloped the entire room, with only the sound of cicadas echoing in the air. All of my sister's belongings were still neatly displayed in the room, and on the table was an object wrapped in a small cloth bag. There was a bird roughly embroidered on the cloth bag. Lin Ruoyun picked it up and looked at it for a moment, but she didn't quite understand it, so she had no choice but to put it down again.

"Ruoshu, Ruoshu?" Lin Ruoyun was extremely anxious. She shouted her sister's name over and over again in the yard, but she never got any response from her sister. A strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, and her heartbeat became more and more rapid.

Lin Ruoyun hurried out of the yard, looking around anxiously. Suddenly, she saw a servant walking by in the distance. She was so excited that she rushed forward without hesitation, grabbed the other's arm and asked, "Have you seen Ruoshu?"

The servant was caught by surprise and was shocked. When he saw that it was Lin Ruoyun, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he still answered honestly: "The master took the young lady out."

This sentence was like a thunderclap in Lin Ruoyun's ears. She seemed to have heard the horrible news of the end of the world. She took a few steps back involuntarily and let go of the servant. The servant was confused and muttered "lunatic" to himself, then left quickly.

Lin Ruoyun swallowed hard, trying to calm her heart that was beating wildly due to extreme fear. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and then walked step by step towards the yard where Lin Fanmao was. No matter what, she must find her sister.

However, before she could see Lin Fanmao, she ran into her stepmother. In private, Madam Lin never concealed her dislike for Lin Ruoyun, and this was even more so at this moment. She frowned and asked coldly, "Lin Ruoyun, what are you doing here?"

"Where is Ruoshu?" Lin Ruoyun's eyes were fixed on her face. Her gaze was like a sharp knife, carrying endless pressure and sharpness, as if she wanted to see through her eyes to see the secrets in her heart.

When Madam Lin saw Lin Ruoyun coming to her house, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. At the same time, she was frightened by her fierce appearance. She didn't dare to look at her at all. She could only lower her head and mutter softly: "If your sister is missing, go find her. Why are you looking for me?"

Lin Ruoyun did not back down because of Madam Lin's words. Instead, she pressed on and continued to ask, "Where did Lin Fanmao take my sister?" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice.

Before Madam Lin could answer, Lin Ruoyun suddenly went crazy and yelled at the top of her lungs: "Tell me! Where did Lin Fanmao take Ruoshu?" Her voice was deafening and echoed in the air, making people look sideways.

Madam Lin was so guilty that she didn't dare to tell Lin Ruoyun the truth. She knew very well that if she told Lin Ruoyun the truth at this moment, given Lin Ruoyun's character, she would probably rush to the Yan Mansion without hesitation. Once Yan Zhen was angered, the Lin Mansion's efforts to become an imperial merchant would be completely hopeless. Thinking of this, Madam Lin decided to grit her teeth and not let go no matter what.
