Lin Yuxi raised her eyebrows and did not respond. She walked up to Liu and bowed, then bowed to Lin Yuhe properly.

Lin Yuhe's eyes flashed with pride, but she also said with particular grievance:

"Sister, you are embarrassing me. You will be the wife of an official in the future. How dare I accept your gift?"

Lin Yuxi said with a look of panic:

"Sister, you are joking. I will never forget the rules my wife taught me. Sister is the legitimate daughter, so it is only natural for the elder sister to pay respect to the younger sister."

As for why you didn't return my greeting, it's because you don't know the rules. But you're used to being rude because you have your wife's support.

After hearing what Lin Yuxi said, Liu smiled and was quite polite.

Looking at her daughter's arrogant and complacent look, her face darkened. She had personally taught Yu He the rules, so it was unreasonable for her to be worse than a concubine's daughter. She said softly:

"Yuhe."

Lin Yuhe raised her eyes to glance at Liu, pouting and reluctantly returning the gift.

Lin Yuxi almost laughed again when she saw this. Lin Yuhe should have responded with a half-courteous gesture, but she only responded with a half-courteous gesture, just bowing slightly.

Under normal circumstances, she would have turned her head and looked up at the sky. It was already very good that she could bow even a little. Lin Yuxi didn't want to argue with her.

Liu on the other end spoke again.

"You are not young anymore. You should learn to be calm and generous in doing things. Don't be petty anymore. The Lin family has raised you up. You must never forget their kindness. Now that the Lin family has a bright future, it is time for you to repay their kindness."

Lin Yuxi was completely confused, not knowing what tricks Liu was playing, and asked in bewilderment: "Yuxi is stupid, please explain clearly, Madam."

Liu's eyes flickered, and with a smile on her lips, she took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"The prefectural government is not like other families. It is the most important in Jiangzhou City. There is no one more precious than it. You have to be careful in everything. You have to think twice before taking each step. You have to advance and retreat appropriately. Without wisdom and tolerance, you can't stand firm. You... I am doing this for your own good. You have been raised in seclusion since childhood and have very few social contacts. This is not a matter of one or two days. The family of the marquis is deep. If you say something wrong, it is very likely to implicate the entire family. Then you will become a sinner of the Lin family. I really can't bear it. After thinking it over and over again, I think it is better for Yuhe to marry. She is smart and has been helping me with housekeeping since she was young. Although she is not very skilled, she has won the hearts of some people, which is also a skill. Yuhe has also learned some social skills from me, and her adaptability is also very good. She should be able to handle things when she enters the marquis's family. Even if there are changes in the future, I will be the culprit. I am old and it is not a pity to die. It's a pity that you are still young. You are my daughter after all, and the apple of Aunt Song's eye. How can I push you into the fire? I am willing, but your aunt will not want it. If anything happens to you, how can I face her a hundred years later?"

As he said this, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Lin Yuxi curled the corners of her lips slightly. All those tricks were for one purpose. Shouldn't she admire the love of parents in the world?

It's understandable that she is trying hard to find a good family for her daughter, but she shouldn't have set such a high opinion of hers. She really thinks she is a fool.

But I have to say that Liu's speaking skills are not at the same level as Lin Yuhe's. It's for your own good that she asked you to take the initiative to offer the Lin family's marriage.

Because you are born dull and eccentric, even if you marry into a rich family and have your mother-in-law or husband to take care of you, it is not easy to survive in a wealthy family.

If you don't have any brains and don't know how to be humble, you will only die, and you may even bring trouble to your mother's family.

Rather than you bearing this blame, it would be better to let Lin Yuhe bear it. At least she is smart, eloquent, and knows how to please people. It won't be difficult for her to win people's hearts and gain a foothold.

Even if she falls one day, Liu will still be there to support her. When the older generation blames her, they will just hold her accountable. She can't bear to let Lin Yuxi suffer.

Listen, how exciting.

She also mentioned Lin Yuxi's biological mother. If you didn't know, you would really think that Liu was thinking about her and caring about her.

Lin Yuxi immediately burst into tears and looked up at Liu with emotion.

"It turns out that Madam really loves me. I have always been judging others by my own standards. I apologize to Madam."

Then he bowed again.

There was a flash of satisfaction in Liu's eyes, even Luyun was surprised. She thought that the girl might want to agree to it. Seeing the tears in Lin Yuxi's eyes, she was very anxious.

However, Lin Yuxi was not stupid. She still followed the same principle: it was the parents' orders. If her parents had no objection, she would not dare to object either.

Liu was so angry that she thought she would agree. She wanted to make the decision for her, but Master Lin had already made a harsh statement, not allowing her to interfere in the matter.

Yuhe bothered her day and night, and she could do nothing about it.

But if Lin Yuxi agreed to it personally, that would be a different story.

This damn bastard actually dared to play tricks on her. Let’s see how long she can keep showing off.

While Liu and Lin Yuhe were irritated, a maid came in and said the fifth young master had arrived. Liu narrowed her eyes with contempt in her eyes, then nodded and let him in.

Lin Yu came in skipping, followed by Yunsheng, holding a blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand. Lin Yu bowed respectfully to Liu, which was quite polite.

Liu was not very impatient with him, but she asked him what was the matter in a doting tone.

Lin Yu grinned and pointed at the blue and white porcelain bowl in Yunsheng's hand as if he was presenting a treasure:

"To answer Madam, Yu'er got some good things today and wanted to share them with my second sister. When I arrived at the West Garden, I found out that Madam had called her in for questioning. I wonder if Madam has finished her questioning. I'm going to go play with my second sister."

Liu's eyes turned cold and her face was a little gloomy. When did this boy become so close to Lin Yuxi? How come she didn't get any information?

Lin Yuhe smiled and said:

"What good stuff did Fifth Brother get? Scoop it out for everyone to see."

Lin Yu nodded, opened the lid of the goblet and motioned for her to look inside. Lin Yuhe screamed and almost vomited.

It was a bowl full of entangled, wriggling worms that looked like maggots and were yellowish-brown in color. The sight of them gave her goose bumps all over her body.

"How is it? Isn't it interesting?"

Lin Yu looked as if he was seeking credit, while Lin Yuhe was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hid behind Liu and didn't dare to look at him again.

Liu took a quick look and her face looked a little unhappy. She covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, with hostility in her eyes, and scolded Lin Yu angrily.

Lin Yu felt very aggrieved, he originally wanted to find his second sister to play with insects, but his third sister let him watch it because she wanted to. Otherwise, he would not have dared to scoop it out to scare people even if he had a hundred courage.

It was indeed Lin Yuhe who spoke just now, so Liu couldn't say anything more.

Guessing that he also wanted to use the bug to scare Lin Yuxi, he felt relieved and let them go down together.

After leaving Liu's garden, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows proudly at her.

"I saved you once, how are you going to repay me? Don't try to trick me, I'll have to teach you ten moves this time to make up for it."

Lin Yuxi hit him hard, causing Lin Yu to grimace in pain. He pointed at Lin Yuxi and cursed:

"You stinky woman, you dare to hit me, I will pour the bugs into your collar."

As she spoke, she scooped the water out of the porcelain bowl in Yunsheng's hand. Lin Yuxi raised her hand and pushed hard under the bowl.
