Lin Ningkun was a little nervous. He was still counting on Jiang Ruanxi to agree to Lin Xiao's adoption. How could he let her ignore it?

In the past few days, Jiang Ruanxi did things properly and could not find any mistakes. Lin Ningkun also realized that what he said was a bit harsh and softened his tone a lot.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that his father is kind to me. I don't want to involve these things in the family."

You don’t want to get involved in the family, but you still want to adopt someone else’s son?

If it were in her previous life, Jiang Ruanxi would have believed it, but now that she had seen through his selfishness, she felt hypocritical when she heard this.

"What the Marquis said is that I just pity this child. His parents have been gone for a long time, and now he has to live with others. I don't know if his parents will be very sad if they know about it." Jiang Ruanxi followed his words. He said, "Since the Marquis does not want to be involved in the family, then the matter of brother Xiao will be left to the Marquis to handle by himself from now on."

Lin Ningkun always felt that there was something in her words, but for the moment he couldn't see what was wrong.

Originally, she called Lin Xiao over just to disgust Lin Ningkun. Now that her goal was achieved, Jiang Ruanxi thought of another thing and changed the subject.

"Master Hou, my sister-in-law is back. I heard that my sister-in-law and my mother were having a lot of trouble. When I came back, I saw that my mother had called the doctor several times. My mother was not in good health, and my second sister was also in confinement. I So I thought about asking my second sister to come back and chat with my mother, what do you think?"

Lin Ningkun's mind suddenly moved, "Okay, I think you don't want to call anyone. I happen to have something to do and I need to go to my second sister's mansion."

Is he so anxious to go because he wants to see Lu Xueer?

Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Jiang Ruanxi agreed.

After Lin Ningkun and Lin Xiao left, Jiang Ruanxi lowered his eyes and said to Hongye, "You should also go along. It's best to remind the second sister about what happened at the banquet last time."

"Madam, Hongye understands."

The next day, Lin Qingxu came to the door.

"Second sister has been here for so long. What's going on with this sister-in-law? She hasn't come yet. She doesn't take second sister seriously." Lin Tingting said dissatisfied.

Lin Qingxu frowned slightly and spoke for He.

"Third sister, it's okay. I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant. Pregnancy is a bit tiring. I just went home and walked around. There's nothing important. What's important is her belly."

Lin Tingting rolled her eyes.

"Second sister, isn't she just pregnant? There's nothing wrong with her. I think she's just pretending."

Lin Qingxu frowned subconsciously as he listened to Lin Tingting's words, but Jiang Ruanxi had long been used to it, so she pretended not to hear and stood up slowly.

"Mom, my sister-in-law said she was so sick when she got up in the morning that she felt unwell and couldn't eat. However, she also specifically told her daughter-in-law that if her second sister came back, she would have someone send her a message. I still have some things to do in the kitchen. Tell me, I will send a message to my sister-in-law."

As soon as Jiang Ruanxi finished speaking, Lin Tingting felt her face burning and painful.

When Jiang Ruan Xi said this, he was clearly slapping her in the face.

She stared angrily, and was about to have an attack, but Lin Qingxu said quickly, "Second sister-in-law, please be polite. Sister-in-law is pregnant is a big deal. It doesn't matter whether you see me or not. Tell her that if it's inconvenient for her, I'll wait for you." After I finished talking to my mother, I went to find her."

After Jiang Ruanxi left, Lin Tingting couldn't bear it anymore.

"Second sister, why are you giving her such face? Don't you know how the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law treat my mother at home? My mother was originally angry with her eldest sister-in-law. She will go to pick her up now. Isn't this right? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for your mother? You don’t want to just go to your mother, but you actually help them speak?"

"Tingting, your second sister finally came here with great difficulty. Why did you say those words? There are many people, big and small, all day long. Do you think you have been spoiled?"

Zhou scolded Lin Tingting, who felt very uncomfortable, but did not say anything again.

"Mom, the third sister is still young and doesn't understand some things. Why are you trying to get angry with her?"

Lin Qingxu looked at Lin Tingting, "Third sister, you told me last time that you liked rouge. I brought you some when I came here today, from Danlinfang."

The unhappiness in Lin Tingting's heart was instantly forgotten, and her eyes lit up, "Second sister, is it really from Danlinfang? I heard that their rouge is very popular recently. Even if many people line up to buy it, they may not be able to buy it. , how did you get it?"

"I have always kept the things that Third Sister likes in my heart. I have already sent them to your room. Why don't you go and see if you like it."

Lin Tingting became happy and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

She left happily, but Lin Qingxu's face sank.

"Mother, how come you have spoiled your third sister like this? She is so disrespectful to her sisters-in-law. She is from a girl's family and she is meddling in her parents' family affairs. If it is revealed, it will ruin the reputation of our Lin family. Although she is young, she still needs to understand some things. Yes, you should talk about her."

"Your third sister is also arrogant. I've said it before, but sometimes it's not your third sister who is troublesome, but your two sisters-in-law who are really not very nice."

Even now, Zhou still doesn't think Lin Tingting's problem is big, but Lin Qingxu frowned slightly, always feeling that his mother's way of handling this matter was inappropriate.

"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things. Your second brother's future will be settled soon. When your second brother gets promoted, I will be able to feel proud."

Speaking of this matter, Lin Qingxu was not as optimistic as Zhou, but his face was a little solemn.

"Mom, my second brother's affairs are really safe. Don't let the money go to waste."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou immediately pulled his face down.

"How can it be in vain? That path was brokered by the clan leader. It is very safe and there is absolutely no problem."

Seeing the smile on her face, Lin Qingxu didn't know what to say, but he remembered Lin Ningkun's visit to the Hou Mansion yesterday.

She added, "Mom, is there nothing going on between my second brother and our eldest concubine in the Hou Mansion?"

Zhou's heart jumped into her throat, and her eyes flashed with nervousness, but it quickly disappeared.

He put on a serious face to hide his guilty conscience.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Someone spread rumors about the last banquet. You also know what kind of person your second brother is. How could he do such a rebellious thing?"

Lin Qingxu believed in Lin Ningkun's character, but thinking of the coincidence at the mansion this morning, he casually said, "I was overthinking it. My second brother came to my mansion yesterday, so I remembered it."
