Marrying Gold and Jade

When the man opened the door again, his "sister", who had been spoiled since childhood and always wanted someone to feed her when she ate, was enthusiastically picking up food for her and telling her not to be restrained and to eat more.

what is this?

He was not allowed to get close to the master in the morning, but now he was sitting next to a servant and even eating at the same table with him.

At first Lin Yu thought it was Qingdai coming in. After the door was open for a long time without any movement, he looked over.

The smile on her face faded, and there was even a hint of impatience flashing between Qing Lingling's eyebrows, which was seen clearly by the man.

"What are you doing here again?" She thought Lin Ji was not at home.

Seeing that something was wrong, the little mute beside him subconsciously wanted to stand up.

"Don't move——" But Lin Yu held his wrist.

Even with that little strength, it was not enough to tickle him.

Mingyuan was obedient and didn't move.

When the sun rose to the south, the scorching summer sun was blinding, shining brightly on Lin Ji's back, making his face dim and unclear.

His eyes fell on the two people's crossed wrists. Without saying a word, he stepped forward, pulled Lin Yu up, and used his body to separate the two people.

"what you do!"

Mingyuan stood up and was about to move when Zhulian Qingdai entered the room.

He hid the hand that was about to reach out behind his back, and also hid the bell that Lin Yu gave him.

"What did I do?" Lin Ji looked at her solemnly. "I asked a servant to come into your room and even sit next to you. Don't you know the difference between men and women?"

Lin Yu was forced to raise his neck to look at the man. After a moment, he remembered that these were the words he had said to mock him in the morning, and now he was returning them all to him.

"So what!"

She twisted her body with great effort and pulled her arm out of his grasp. "I asked him to come in, and no one else knows about it. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't tell anyone?"

"Besides, you're not my real brother. Do you think you're decent enough to barge in once or twice?"

She was unreasonable, but Lin Ji was not surprised. He just glanced sideways at the servant standing behind him.

Unlike the nervousness he showed in front of Lin Yu, Ming Yuan was calm and composed when facing him, and his aura was even not inferior to that of Lin Yu, the top scholar who had already been appointed as an official.

Lin Yu was afraid that he would say something unpleasant, and the little mute would not talk back, so he quickly stood in front of Ming Yuan with his arms open.

"You are not allowed to bully him!"

Still without any intimidation, she was not even as tall as the man's shoulders.

But being in collusion like this makes me look like a bad guy.

Thinking of her sudden change of disposition towards him today, Lin Ji understood again: "You didn't want to go to the banquet to see me just for a house servant."

"What do you mean by servant? He has a name. His name is Mingyuan. I gave him that name!"

Lin Ji didn't care what the man's name was, "You admitted it."

She fell in love with a house slave and even refused to get married because of it.

Lin Yu just felt that he was very annoying. In the past, he hated her pestering him the most, and he would chase after him and shout at him a hundred times but no one would respond. But now, even though he didn't want to pay any attention to him, he kept coming up to her again and again.

"I want you to take care of me, are you my father?"

The man in front of him took a step closer, and Lin Yu saw his eyelids twitch.

Then I heard him say: "Since your parents are not around, I have to take good care of you."

It's a responsibility, not something he wants to do.

Lin Yu met his gaze and said clearly, "If you don't care about me, I will be better."

If the time comes, don't help Lin Wanying to deal with her, she should be celebrating.

Seeing that she was still stubborn, the man turned his eyes away and walked away just like he did in the morning.

He only said when his boots touched the ground: "Don't close the door, keep an eye on your girls."

Zhu Lian and Qing Dai responded "yes" in unison.

In fact, they also felt that there was something a little inappropriate.

Although this little mute looks honest, he is a foreigner after all; and since our daughter is so pretty, she is most likely to be coveted by others.

Qingdai moved closer cautiously and said weakly: "Miss, actually... Master Ji is doing this for your own good."

Lin Yu sat back on the round stool, no longer in the mood to eat with his friends, but Qingdai was still talking to Lin Ji!

He was about to complain, but no words came out.

In the past, people left Yaoguang Courtyard and the tea was deserted. Zhu Lian was taken to be a concubine by her cousin, and Qingdai came to secretly see her a few times.

I cry every time I see her hands.

Not long after that, she was sold out.

Lin Yu suppressed her spoiled temper and said, "If I knew he was at home, I certainly wouldn't have fallen into his trap. I was careless."

"Also, from today on, Mingyuan is one of us. You are not allowed to doubt him."

The two maids looked at each other. They didn't expect Lin Yu to be so good-tempered.

If things had gone her way in the past, she would at least have been a little upset.

Finally, the two of them answered "yes" in unison, and Zhu Lian sighed: "The girl has grown up."

It's not about growing up, it's clearly about starting over again.

When Lin Yu sat back at the table to eat, Ming Yuan stood beside her and showed no intention of sitting down again.

"It's not your fault," Lin Yu knew what he was thinking without asking, and pulled him over, "If you want to blame someone, blame Lin Ji, he's so annoying!"

I took a bite of the dried eggplant with chopsticks, but it was a little cold and the soft texture was hard to swallow.

Mingyuan read it from her expression and since she couldn't speak anyway, he just sent all the dishes on the table to the small kitchen to heat them up.

Only the bell on my wrist kept ringing.

After listening to this, Lin Yu felt inexplicably at ease.

In the dining room at dusk, she finally saw her parents.

At that time, Lin Ji sat opposite her with a sullen face, looking seven points colder than usual. It was unknown whether he had complained to his parents.

Lin Yu was not afraid of him. Anyway, Lin Wanying had not come yet and she was the only daughter of her parents.

"The glutinous rice jelly that Gao's family made today was really good. I specially asked for the recipe and asked the cook to learn how to make it for you."

It has been a long time since I heard my mother speak like this. Lin Yu nodded, with some inappropriate soreness in his eyes.

He perked up again and said, "Then mother must taste it first to see if it is authentic."

Ruan smiled and agreed.

Mother was exactly the same as before. Lin Yu enjoyed the calm before the storm, but he also sensed something was wrong.

For example, her father didn't say much today and even stared at her face several times.

"Daddy, is there something on Yu'er's face?"

"No," he denied it when asked, "Yu'er is so pretty."

Ruan laughed and said, "Don't you even look at who gave birth to the baby?"

Compared to his mother's ignorance, Lin Yu was horrified.

Did my father start to doubt so early?

She recalled that time when her mother cried and refused to let her go, but her father made a hasty decision to make her a servant and allowed those people to bully her...

"By the way, I heard from the housekeeper that you didn't go to the Li family's banquet today?"

Ruan asked questions again, and Lin Yu had to suppress his suspicions for the time being.

"Mother, my daughter is not in a hurry to get married."

Ruan refused to comply: "I'm not urging you to get married right away, I'm just looking around first and deciding on the one that you like first. If you wait for a few years, then everyone else will be left over."
