Song Yuntang pointed at his face and said, "Can't you see? The word 'poor' is almost written on my face."

Looking at her, Lin Jingyao suddenly felt that this sister, whom he had not had much contact with for three years, was now quite interesting.

Since she left the Lin family, the two of them seemed to have never spoken so calmly.

"Since you are short of money, why don't you take the silver I give you?"

Song Yuntang shook his head, "I don't feel at ease with other people's money."

Hearing her words, Lin Jingyao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he looked at her seriously.

"Tang'er, I will always be your brother."

"But in my heart, you are no longer that." Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile, his heart extremely calm. "In the past, when I was in the Lin family, I really have to thank Mr. Lin for his care. If there is any need in the future, I will not refuse if I can do it."

After saying that, he quickened his pace.

Lin Jingyao followed behind her, his heart felt as if it was grasped by a big hand, and his chest felt very stuffy.

The two of them soon arrived at the Lin Mansion.

As far as she could remember, the original owner hadn't been here for quite a while, but the Lin Mansion was no different from when she left three years ago.

When she was brought to Zhuang Wenyin's courtyard by Lin Jingyao, Lin Gengshi and Lin Zhaozhao were also there.

Lin Zhaozhao sat next to Zhuang Wenyin, leaning on her shoulder, looking like a loving mother and a filial daughter. When she saw Song Yuntang coming, she did not stand up, but looked in her direction with a smug look on her face, as if declaring her sovereignty.

Song Yuntang had a smile on his face.

If it were the original owner, she might feel a little sad, because she has no feelings for Zhuang Wenyin at all.

Seeing that she didn't show any anger or jealousy at all, Lin Zhaozhao couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

She sat up straight and glared at Song Yuntang fiercely.

Song Yuntang ignored her and bowed to Zhuang Wenyin. "Auntie, I'm here to see you. How have you been these past few days?"

Zhuang Wenyin smiled and said, "After taking the medicine you prescribed, I feel much better these past two days."

Judging from her complexion, she looked much more rosy than the last time I saw her at Fayun Temple.

Song Yuntang first felt Zhuang Wenyin's pulse, and then took out a silver needle from his sleeve.

"Let me give Auntie acupuncture first."

"Okay." Thinking about the acupuncture that still needed to be done on her body, she quickly looked at her children in the room, "You all go out, Tang'er and Aunt Zhao can stay here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyao and Lin Gengshi went out as instructed. However, Lin Zhaozhao showed no intention of leaving.

"Mom, I can stay here with you." She said with a cute face.

"No, Mom still needs acupuncture. Don't let the needles scare you here." Zhuang Wenyin patted the back of her hand. "Go out with your brothers first. We'll have dinner together after it's over."

Lin Zhaozhao suppressed the smile on her face. It would be fine if she was a young lady who grew up in a wealthy family, but she was not. How could she be afraid of a mere silver needle?

I said that because I didn't want her to stay in the room.

But now Zhuang Wenyin had already spoken, so Lin Zhaozhao gave Song Yuntang a look, bowed to Zhuang Wenyin, and left the room.

From beginning to end, Song Yuntang had a half-smile on his face and didn't take her little movements seriously at all. This calm look made Lin Zhaozhao even more crazy.

While applying acupuncture, Zhuang Wenyin looked at Song Yuntang and said in a gentle voice, "Tang'er, I know Zhao Zhao can't help but act a little tantrum whenever she sees you. She has indeed been wronged in the past few years, but it's not serious at all. I hope you can bear with her for a while."

Song Yuntang's movements froze.

Lin Zhaozhao is not just throwing a tantrum, she wants everyone to isolate her. This is tantamount to killing someone.

The original owner was depressed at first, and Lin Zhaozhao definitely contributed to it.

And Zhuang Wenyin's words obviously meant that she wanted her to tolerate Lin Zhaozhao.

But it was the Lin family who moved the original owner to the Lin family, not the Song family who did it on purpose. Now it seems as if she owes Lin Zhaozhao.

Song Yuntang resumed his actions, pretending not to understand what she meant.

"My mother always says that I'd rather die than live in disgrace, and I can't stand being wronged. But since my aunt has brought it up, as long as Miss Lin doesn't go too far, I'll just say something. It won't be a big deal. We can all just get over it and it will be over."

Zhuang Wenyin's expression froze as she listened to Song Yuntang's extremely light words. For a moment she didn't know how to respond.

After a long while, she sighed.

"Tang'er, you're so smart, you should understand what I mean. During the years you've been in the Lin family, I honestly believe I've never treated you unfairly. Since you've enjoyed so much wealth and glory on Zhao Zhao's behalf, I don't ask for anything in return. Just give her some leniency in your words, okay?"

Hearing this, Song Yuntang smiled.

Her second brother had said before that if she really returned to the Lin family, she would definitely be wronged.

How come the original owner couldn't see through something that he, a rough guy who grew up in a farmer's family, could see?

This place was her home in the past, but now it is nothing but a hell.

This family may still have some feelings for her, but if she really returns to the Lin family, once there is a conflict, between her and Lin Zhaozhao, the Lin family will definitely choose Lin Zhaozhao without hesitation.

If this continues, the mental and physical torture will definitely make life much more difficult than that of the Song family.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhuang Wenyin looked at her in confusion. "I think that if we visit each other more often in the future, you and Zhao Zhao will have more opportunities to see each other. In my heart, you are both my daughters. If there is a conflict between sisters, I will be helpless to help either of them. It will inevitably make outsiders laugh at me."

Song Yuntang nodded slightly. "Mrs. Lin's kindness is appreciated, but I really don't want to climb up the social ladder at the mansion. I just want to live a quiet life in Rongshu Village."

Zhuang Wenyin could hear the alienation in Song Yuntang's words.

"Tang'er, are you blaming me?"

Song Yuntang shook his head calmly, "Mrs. Lin didn't do anything excessive to me, why should I blame her?"

After that, neither of them spoke.

After Song Yuntang finished the acupuncture, she rejected Zhuang Wenyin's kindness and did not stay in the Yuanwai Mansion for dinner. She agreed to come back for acupuncture the next day and left the Yuanwai Mansion directly. She left in a hurry, and when Lin Jingyao learned the news, she was nowhere to be seen.

After Song Yuntang left, Zhuang Wenyin asked Aunt Zhao who was standing beside her.

"Mammy, do you think I said something wrong just now? She even changed the way she addressed me."

As an outsider, Zhao Ma can see things more clearly than Zhuang Wenyin, an insider.

"Since Madam cares about Miss Song, she shouldn't have said such words to ask her to give in to Miss. If she says that now, she might think Madam is partial."

"No wonder." Zhuang Wenyin sighed, "But what can I do? You've seen that girl Zhao Zhao. Every time I run into her, she's always humiliated. I'm also afraid that she'll get herself into trouble."
