In ancient times, it was not easy for a woman to go back to her parents' home.
First of all, she had to inform her parents-in-law. After getting their consent, the husband would send her back.
If the husband didn't accompany her, he would be deported.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Mengya felt that the status of women in ancient times was really different from that in modern times. Every year when the Spring Festival came, people would be in an uproar about whether to go back to her parents' home or her in-laws' home.
Fortunately, she was an orphan, so she didn't have to think about these issues.
But now, she had also become a daughter-in-law in ancient times. Every move of the royal family was related to her life. It was really a little sad.
With the prince's order, Steward Deng didn't dare to be careless.
Although the prince asked him to escort the princess back to her parents' home because he didn't have free time. However, he had seen the mother and daughter of the Lin family.
It was no wonder that His Highness was worried about her despite his repeated warnings. But the princess was not easy to bully. Maybe the mother and daughter of the Lin family would be at a disadvantage.
"We're almost there, Master. Mistress, look, that big willow tree behind our house is still so tall and straight. "
Even though she was a little reluctant, Baizhi still said excitedly.
After all, it was the place where she grew up. How could she abandon it so easily?
The carriage soon arrived in front of Marquis Zhennan's Mansion, but no one came out to greet them.
Steward Deng frowned. The prince's mansion had already sent someone to deliver the news last night. But now, why was there still no one?
"Be careful, Princess."
With the help of Steward Deng and Baizhi, Lin Mengya walked to the door of her house.
She sneered. Shangguan Qing was getting more and more incompetent.
Logically speaking, she should at least do something for the sake of Long Tianhao.
Now, knowing that Long Tianhao wouldn't come, she didn't even bother to do it.
The door was closed. She was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, but she was rejected by her own family. It would be a little embarrassing if it was spread out.
But Lin Mengya didn't get angry. She signaled Steward Deng to ask someone to knock on the door.
"Coming, coming. Who is it?"
The door was opened a little, and an unfamiliar face appeared.
Lin Mengya glanced over and saw a manservant with a protruding mouth and ape-like cheeks.
In the past, the gatekeepers at home were all veterans from his father's old unit. Although their hair had already turned white, they were still very reliable.
Therefore, the gatekeeper of the Lin family had never looked down on others.
Now it was a different person. Even if he didn't know her, but when he saw the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion, he should have some brains, right?
Unexpectedly, the man just glanced at them lazily, and then asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you?
"Who are you? Can't you see that this is Marquis Zhennan's residence? What are you shouting for? "
His rascally tone made Lin Mengya frown slightly.
His father had once said that in a truly cultured family, no matter if it was the gatekeeper or the servants, they could not take advantage of their power to bully others.
Little did he expect that not long after his father left home, a gatekeeper would appear in the house.
Indeed, it was true that the dog looked like the owner, right?
Steward Deng naturally didn't want to argue with this guy, so he said with a straight face,
"Young man, our madam is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Please do us a favor."
Steward Deng's attitude was polite, although the man in front of him was just a person he could deal with with one hand.
But the man looked up and down at Steward Deng with great disrespect. He was very disdainful.
"There is only one eldest daughter, Lin Mengwu, in our mansion. There is no other eldest daughter. Which family's servant are you from? Could it be that you've mistaken the door? "
Hearing this, Lin Mengya's guess was confirmed.
Looking at the gatekeeper, she knew that he had just changed after her father left. He might have just taken up his post yesterday.
Didn't he want to give her, the eldest daughter, a show of strength?
If she lost her temper, the servant just needed to say that he was a newcomer, and Shangguan Qing and her mother would not be responsible at all.
In the end, she also got the reputation of being harsh to the servants, which made her seem stingy.
But unfortunately, she didn't have the patience to waste time with a servant at the gate today.
"Go away."
A faint shout came. The servant was stunned and saw a woman in a palace dress walking slowly in front of him.
Lin Mengya, the second daughter of the mansion, was delicate and lovely, which was already beyond the reach of people like them.
But the young woman in front of him was charming and charming, and her pink face could be regarded as a goddess.
The servant stared at her for a moment, but there was a sharp pain in his eyes.
"Ah —"
With a cry, the servant rolled on the ground in pain.
But in front of everyone, no one, whether it was Lin Mengya, Baizhi, or Steward Deng, felt any pain.
"Let's go in."
Lin Mengya didn't even look at him, and walked around the servant who was still wailing and rolling on the ground.
Since he dared to stand in her way, he should be prepared to be punished by her.
Steward Deng just used a small stone to teach him a lesson. He would be fine after a few days of rest. If his father were here, he would definitely be punished more severely.
After entering the gate, the servants in the front yard looked at Lin Mengya with a little more embarrassment in their eyes.
However, with the previous example, the people behind her also followed suit and came over to greet her.
"Get up, all of you. This is a New Year gift from our eldest daughter. It's inconvenient for our eldest daughter to be outside. It's hard for you to serve Master and Young Master at home. "
Lin Mengya looked at them and didn't look at anyone.
She was somewhat arrogant, but most of the servants in the field trembled with fear.
Now, there were only Madam and Second Miss in the mansion. But when Master and Young Master came back, they had said that Lin Mengya would always be the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
Among these people, some had made Lin Mengya suffer before. They immediately broke out in a cold sweat. After all, Liu Er, the gatekeeper, was a well-known local hooligan in the Capital City.
Although they didn't know why Madam would hire such a person. But now, just because he stood in Lin Mengya's way, he was taught a lesson and became so miserable.
Suddenly, they became a little more respectful to Lin Mengya.
They hoped that Lin Mengya was magnanimous and wouldn't be the next unlucky person.
"Thank you for your gift, Miss Lin." Baizhi stood there generously and distributed some small red envelopes to all the servants.
There were only some broken taels of silver in them. It was not even enough for her snacks for a few days. Seeing the people who had made her envious in the past become so happy because of these broken taels of silver, she couldn't help but feel that Lin Mengya was really a good master!
"Where are Madam and Second Miss?"
There were only some servants in the front yard. Lin Mengya didn't see the mother and daughter.
That's strange. According to past conventions, they should at least be standing there and laughing at me for watching the show. But now, it seemed that they had learned their lesson.
"In reply to your question, Miss Lin, Madam is in Second Miss's room. I heard that Second Miss suddenly fell ill this morning. "
A quick-witted old maid immediately replied to Lin Mengya with a smile.
Fell ill? What a coincidence!
Lin Mengya was a little confused. Lin Mengya had always been healthier than her. Why did she suddenly fall ill?
"Take me to see her."
She didn't care about Lin Mengwu. She just felt that it was a little strange.
The old maid immediately led her through the front yard to Tinglan Pavilion, where Lin Mengwu lived.
Compared to her small building, Ting Lan Pavilion lacked some of its exquisite elegance. But inside, it was graceful and luxurious, and rare treasures could be seen everywhere.
Of course, it couldn't be compared with Liuxin Courtyard, where her water pipes were all made of high-quality warm jade.
But it could also be seen that Lin Mengwu's life was much better than that of the silly Lin Mengya.
When Lin Mengya arrived at the courtyard, she saw Lin Mengwu's personal maid, Huan 'er, waiting outside anxiously.
When she saw Lin Mengya, she immediately came up to her and deliberately said in a loud voice,
"Greetings to Miss Lin, no, greetings to the princess."
Lin Mengya looked at Huan 'er in front of her. She was about the same age as Baizhi, but she had already learned to bully others.
In the past, she was sharp-tongued and bullied Lin Mengya and Baizhi a lot.
Looking at this girl's flustered look, it seemed that she deliberately stopped her.
"Get up. I heard that my sister is sick and my mother is here. I'll go in to see them."
Lin Mengya was about to walk into Lin Mengwu's room, but Huan 'er immediately blocked her way. Her watery eyes looked left and right as if she had a guilty conscience.
"First … Miss Lin, forget it. Second Miss Lin is really sick. Madam specially told me that if Miss Lin comes, I just need to wait for a while. I don't want to pass the illness on to you. "
This illness came very suddenly.
Lin Mengya had a feeling that Lin Mengwu was not simply ill.
After taking another step forward, Lin Mengya took a deep breath and said in a loud voice,
"Mother, sister, I'll go back to my small house. Younger Sister, please take good care of your body. You mustn't overwork yourself. Mother, if you're free, you can catch up with me. "
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, Huan 'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a smile on her face, she watched Lin Mengya leave Tinglan Pavilion with Baizhi.
"Master, why were you so polite just now? You could have just rushed in. I think you're sick. Madam and Second Miss Lin are deliberately making things difficult for you! "
