Lin Xiaoruan suddenly felt that the brown sugar cake in her hand was no longer sweet, and her tears rolled down.
She sniffled and cried, "No wonder I was forced to eat brown sugar cakes. It turns out they wanted to sell me. Grandma, I am also your granddaughter. Sister, I am also your sister. How could you be so cruel?"
Lin Ruoxin gritted her teeth and interrupted: "Who can we blame for this? It's because the Lin family refused to take us in. Otherwise, how could we live in this shabby little yard!"
The old lady also advised earnestly: "Xiaoruan, Grandmother has no choice but to do this. And Grandmother promises you that it will only take three to five days. As long as your sister becomes the Imperial Concubine in the palace, you can return to Grandmother and live in a mansion with a life of luxury!"
Lin Xiaoruan shook her head vigorously: "No, I want to go back to my hometown!"
After saying that, he grabbed a few brown sugar cakes and turned around to run away.
Lin Ruoxin was not willing to let her escape, and quickly grabbed her hair.
She said viciously: "Lin Xiaoruan, why don't you listen? My sister is living a good life, how can I treat you badly? The house in my hometown has been sold. When you go back, are you going to sleep on the street? Or become a beggar?"
Lin Xiaoruan sobbed, "That's better than being sold. Let go!"
Lin Ruoxin was caught off guard and was bitten on the wrist by Lin Xiaoruan. She screamed in pain and quickly let go, narrowly avoiding having a piece of flesh bitten off.
The old lady was extremely angry. She never expected that Lin Xiaoruan, who had always been well-behaved and weak, would bite people.
She immediately took the cane and started beating her: "I told you to bite your sister, I told you to bite, I'll beat you to death!"
Lin Xiaoruan is young after all, so there is no way she can hide.
He was beaten and cried out loudly!
At this time, Lin Huanchen walked in quickly with an old woman outside. He shouted directly: "What are you making a fuss about?"
The old woman was also quick to move, immediately protecting Lin Xiaoruan behind her, and said with a grim expression: "Why are you hitting her? She has such a beautiful face. If it is damaged, it will be worthless!"
The old lady narrowed her triangular eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
The old woman slammed the banknotes in her hand on the table and said, "Aren't you going to sell her? Here are two hundred taels of silver. Hurry and sign the indenture!"
Lin Xiaoruan was so scared that her legs went weak. She wanted to escape, but she didn't know where the old woman pinched her, and she couldn't use any strength at all.
She could only sob and cry, but no one cared about her.
She gradually stopped crying, and her eyes, washed by tears, were filled with despair and anger.
Lin Ruoxin was still bargaining with the old woman. She said dissatisfiedly, "My sister has been pampered since she was a child. Look at her delicate skin and tender flesh. Two hundred taels of silver is too little!"
The old woman couldn't help but snort coldly: "She's so thin, we have to raise her for a while before we can exchange her for money. If it were you, I could add another hundred taels, how about it?"
Lin Ruoxin immediately became annoyed. She interrupted him angrily, "Are you worthy enough to buy me? Two hundred taels is too little. Add another thirty taels and take her away immediately!"
The old woman put away the banknote and said, "You want to sell it, but I don't want to buy it yet!"
Seeing her about to leave, Lin Huanchen immediately chased after her and pulled her back, saying, "Hey, why are you leaving for no reason? Two hundred is two hundred, I'll sign this contract right now!"
The old woman twisted her waist, reached out and pinched Lin Huanchen's face, saying, "Master Lin is a wise man. Your daughter is too greedy!"
Lin Huanchen was so moved by her that his bones were a little soft, but in front of the child, he quickly restrained the desire on his face.
He found a pen and ink and immediately wrote Lin Xiaoruan's name and his own name on the indenture.
The old woman carefully put it away and squinted her eyes to look at the anxious Lin Xiaoruan: "Little girl, from now on, you belong to me, Liu Sanniang. Do you have anything else to pack? If not, then hurry and follow me!"
Lin Xiaoruan's dark eyes turned around for a long time before she turned to look at Lin Ruoxin: "Sister, I wish you to fly to the branches and become a phoenix in the future, and everything will be as you wish!"
Lin Ruoxin didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. She said in a distant tone, "Don't blame me. I didn't sell you out. If you want to hate someone, you should hate Old Doctor Lin. If he had given our family a chance to survive, he wouldn't have let you end up being sold!"
Lin Xiaoruan curled the corners of her lips, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across her palm-sized face.
She walked out with the old woman and got into the carriage, then she slowly said, "Liu Sanniang, could you please take me to the Li Palace instead? I have something to say to the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi!"
As the owner of the number one brothel in the capital, Liu Sanniang had naturally heard the news that her family was kicked out of the Lin Mansion.
At that time, everyone treated it as a joke and thought they were just trying to get something for free!
How shameless!
Now that the girl has not been sold, why is she still looking for the Marquis's wife?
Do you still expect her to come to the rescue?
I really don't know my own weight anymore.
She said contemptuously: "Why are you still looking for her? The Lin family doesn't take your poor relatives seriously at all. If you go to their house now, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Lin Xiaoruan said with red eyes: "I know, I just want to say a few words to her, Sanniang, don't worry, I will be well-behaved and obedient in the future and help you make a lot of money!"
Liu Sanniang was silent for a moment before she reached out and pinched her little face: "You are much smarter than your sister. Fine, if you want to see her, go ahead. However, if she refuses to see you, then immediately follow me back to the brothel!"
As the carriage turned away from the palace, the gatekeeper was asked to deliver the message to the inner house.
Lin Yiwan was picking herbs when Ling'er came in and reported, "Madam, Shopkeeper Liu from the brothel wants to see you!"
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhan Yan had taken advantage of her pregnancy to go to a brothel to relieve himself? And even invited someone to come and settle the score?
This guy is too bold. If she doesn't divorce him when he comes back, she won't be named Lin.
All kinds of messy thoughts flooded into her mind, which scared Ling'er next to her.
She trembled and said, "Madam, if you don't want to see her, I will send her away right now."
Lin Yiwan took a deep breath and said, "What's coming can't be avoided. Let's go out and see what kind of romantic debt our Marquis has brought back from outside!"
Ling'er thought to herself that the Marquis couldn't be that person!
But when he saw his wife's expression, he could only swallow it back!
Just observe first and don’t get slapped in the face later.
Lin Yiwan brought Ling'er to the teahouse in the front yard and ordered someone to invite Liu Sanniang and Lin Xiaoruan in.
When she suddenly saw Lin Xiaoruan, Lin Yiwan's pupils contracted violently.
She never expected that Zhan Yan would have someone like Wanwan.
However, even if this little girl looked a bit like her, how could he bring himself to do that to her?
