"What do they want this perfume formula for? Young Prince Ning is the son and grandson of the Dragon, enjoying endless glory and wealth. Why would he want to collude with those evil people from the White Lotus Sect? "
The Grand Mistress was puzzled. She pondered for a moment, and a trace of horror flashed in her eyes. "Could it be that they …"
The Grand Mistress's face turned pale. She bit her lips and didn't dare to continue. No wonder they wanted the perfume formula and wanted to rob the Xiao Family's property. To put it bluntly, it was all to accumulate wealth and prepare for their big event.
Lin Wanrong nodded. "Grand Mistress, your guess is correct. Apart from this, there is no other reason."
Xiao Yuruo listened to his words, and her brows furrowed even tighter. Her face showed deep worry. Seeing that the Grand Mistress was so worried, Lin Wanrong comforted her with a smile. "Grand Mistress, you should think of it this way. Our luck is really good. This kind of event that is hard to come by in a hundred years has happened to us. Others can't wait to be envious. "
The Grand Mistress's beautiful eyes glared at him. "You … I am about to die from worry, but you are still making sarcastic remarks. This kind of disaster, how can my Xiao Family afford to provoke it. "After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Wanrong smiled. "Grand Mistress, it's not that I'm making sarcastic remarks, but the ancients have long learned their lesson. If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Worrying like this now won't have the slightest effect. Instead, it will mess up your state of mind for no reason."
The Grand Mistress looked at him and softly said, "Lin San, in that case, when you were captured by the White Lotus Sect, it was my Xiao Family that implicated you. If it weren't for the fact that you were plotting for the Xiao Family, you wouldn't have attracted the attention of others, and you wouldn't have been captured by the White Lotus Sect. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Grand Mistress, this has nothing to do with you. It's mainly because I'm too outstanding. No matter where I hide, I'll be recognized at a glance. I'm like a valiant and strong tree that grows in the undergrowth. I'll always be the focus of others. As a naturally outstanding person, it's inevitable to be watched and admired by others. I can only slowly get used to it. "
"Pfft." Even though the Grand Mistress was worried, she was still amused by him. "You are too thick-skinned." Every time she spoke to him, she felt like crying and laughing at the same time. Could it be that this person was born without any worries?
"Grand Mistress, you don't need to panic. Although the Xiao Family is involved in this matter, it's not that pessimistic. In my opinion, what that Xiao Wangye wants isn't just the Xiao Family. Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times, and the commerce of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is strong. As long as the merchants of Jinling and Hangzhou have some power, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape. What he wants is Jiangnan's money and grain. Heh heh, when the scope of coverage is expanded to infinity, what do we have to be afraid of? Other people are like us, all tied to the same boat. When the nest is overturned, how can there be an intact egg? This is the truth. "Lin Wanrong slowly said.
The Grand Mistress pondered for a moment, then lightly nodded and said, "Lin San, what you said is correct. When disaster comes, no one can stop it. Worrying is useless." Her expression flashed with determination as she said, "Niangqin is right. Although our Xiao Family is a family of women, we won't let others bully us. If my Xiao Family is forced into a corner, I'd rather die a broken piece of jade than live an intact tile. "
As Xiao Yuruo spoke, her expression was firm and unyielding. Her expression was seventy to eighty percent similar to Lady Xiao's when she spoke. Sure enough, she was a strong woman of the same bloodline. Lin Wanrong secretly praised her in his heart. The Grand Mistress really had character. He thought for a moment and said, "Grand Mistress, when I was in Hangzhou, I heard Xu daren say that Madam had many old friends in the capital in the past. If something really happened, I'm sure she wouldn't just stand by and do nothing."
The Grand Mistress shook her head and said, "I've already asked Niangqin about this matter when I returned from Hangzhou. She said that in the past in the capital, she was only acquainted with these people and couldn't be said to be familiar. What's more, she has already left the capital for many years. I don't know where those old friends are now. If a disaster really comes knocking on our door, how can we place our hopes on others? Although our Xiao Family is a family of women, we have always operated with integrity and have a clear conscience. We don't do anything shameful, and we're not afraid of ghosts calling at our door. Even if we die, we will die with integrity. We will never do things like being a sex slave. "
Sweat, the Grand Mistress is really unyielding. I like it. Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Grand Mistress, I'm a timid person. Don't scare me. What the hell are you talking about? You make it sound so serious, as if it's a parting of life and death. "
The Grand Mistress smiled and said, "If I don't make it more serious, how can I control you? Our Xiao Family doesn't do things that go against our hearts. But as for you, I can't guarantee that. I don't know how many bad things you've done."
Lin Wanrong laughed, "The one who knows me is the Grand Mistress. Today, I have told the Grand Mistress about the person behind the scenes in hopes that the Grand Mistress will be more vigilant and won't be tricked by the bad people. "
The Grand Mistress laughed lightly, "I'm not afraid of anyone, but I'm afraid of being tricked by a bad person like you."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Since the Grand Mistress is so open-minded, I don't have to worry. Speaking of which, it might not be a bad thing that I offended this little wang ye today. Think about it, everyone in Jin Ling knows about this matter, and this Cheng wang ye and his son are famous virtuous princes. They are the classic example of wanting to be a whore and also want to have a chastity. They definitely won't let others talk about them because of this matter, and carry the infamy of being intolerable. In my view, after this matter, the Xiao Family is much safer than being watched by them. " Lin Wanrong calmly analyzed, "As to if they really want to rebel, that's not something we can control. It will come, it will come. There's no use in worrying. We just have to do business and earn money. "
The Grand Mistress nodded. After saying all this to him, her heart was much more at ease and her mood gradually improved. She looked at him with a light smile, saying, "So you already had this idea, no wonder you were so arrogant."
"I was arrogant?" Lin Wanrong protested, "Grand Mistress, you've seen it too. I've always followed a conservative policy. As long as they don't provoke me, I usually won't attack first."
The Grand Mistress didn't speak. She looked at the gently rippling lake water and sighed slightly, saying, "If there weren't such troublesome matters in the world, how good would it be?"
"Humans are born to suffer. The more you think, the more pain you will feel. It's better to not think at all. " Lin Wanrong sighed with a smile, "Life is bitter and short. If I were to frown all day like the Grand Mistress and only care about work, my life would be meaningless."
The Grand Mistress suddenly smiled and said, "Lin San, do you think that Miss Luo is good-looking?"
Damn, why did we get back to this question after talking for so long? Seeing the Grand Mistress's expectant eyes, Lin Wanrong didn't want to hide it from her. He nodded and said, "Yes, very good-looking."
The Grand Mistress's eyelids drooped and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks. She said softly, "Then, between me and Miss Luo, who is more good-looking?"
This kind of headache-inducing question was really difficult to answer. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Both good-looking, both good-looking."
In all fairness, the Grand Mistress and Luo Ning were two completely different kinds of women. They both had outstanding appearances, but Luo Ning was cheerful, generous, gentle, and pleasant. Xiao Yuruo, on the other hand, had the demeanor of a strong career woman, proud, strong, and difficult to conquer.
The Grand Mistress heard his smooth answer and wrinkled her little nose. She said with dissatisfaction, "I was talking to you nicely just now, and you're answering me in such a perfunctory manner. Are you afraid of offending me, or are you afraid of offending her?"
Damn, I'm not your husband. Why should I be perfunctory with you?
"This, Grand Mistress, do you really want me to tell you the truth?" Lin Wanrong said awkwardly.
"Of course, who has the time to listen to your nonsense?" Xiao Yuruo said shyly.
"This, to be honest, when Miss Luo smiles — —" Xiao Yuruo's heart jumped twice before she heard him continue, "as good-looking as Grand Mistress — —"
Xiao Yuruo grunted, and her face became a little red. She gritted her teeth and said softly, "You, you only know how to say nice things to coax me." Damn, my Grand Mistress, can't you hear that it's the same sentence? It's just that you've changed the way you say it, but the effect is completely different. Women's IQ is really unpredictable.
"However, you look better when you cry." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
The Grand Mistress's heart jumped, and she said shyly, "Why are you saying this? I don't want to hear it — — when have you ever seen her cry?"
"Yes, it's because I haven't seen Miss Luo cry that I think Grand Mistress looks better when she cries." Lin Wanrong laughed.
The Grand Mistress then realized that she was fooled by him again. Didn't I cry in front of him for a long time just now? Now he looks down on me. She blushed and said fiercely, "I just said a few words to you, and you're not being serious again. Neither of us is allowed to mention today's matter again. "
The Grand Mistress's temper was getting more and more unpredictable. After saying a few words, her face turned red. She got on the sedan, and all the way back to the Xiao Family, she didn't talk to Lin Wanrong again. Thinking about the Grand Mistress's crying and smiling face by the lake, and then looking at the serious expression on the Grand Mistress's face, Lin Wanrong suddenly had a strange feeling. Is this girl being played by two people? Her face changes too fast.
Lin Wanrong didn't have time to care about her. Today, he played couplets and danced around in Luo's house. He was tired and was about to take a good rest. Suddenly, he heard the maid Xiao Cui shouting outside the door, "Third brother, third brother — —"
Lin Wanrong opened the door and went out. Xiao Cui handed him a bag and said, "Third brother, the Grand Mistress asked me to bring you some clothes."
When he took a look, he saw that it was the dirty clothes that he asked the Grand Mistress to take away after returning from Hangzhou. Now, they were washed and sent back. The clothes still had a faint smell of soap.
Lin Wanrong took the clothes, thanked her, and said with a smile, "Xiao Cui, which elder sister washed these clothes for me? I used a lot of laundry soap, and it must have cost a few taels. "
Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "I don't know. It has always been in the Grand Mistress's room."
Put in the Grand Mistress's room? Sweat, it can't be that the Grand Mistress washed it, right? Did this girl change her temper? Lin Wanrong was puzzled.
