God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Jiang Muyun knew clearly that although there was no dispute between his two daughters, they were not close to each other. He really didn't know how to resolve the conspiracy from more than ten years ago.

She followed her father and brother to the northwest when she was young, and did not return to Beijing until she reached the age of 15. Her father and brother had always raised her as a lady in Beijing, but they had made her gentle and soft. She was not as good at socializing as her aunt, so dealing with people was a headache for her.

Although I feel sorry for my biological daughter who is living outside, I don’t know how to get along with her, and she gets married after just a few days of contact. As for my adopted daughter, I have brought her up and taught her carefully for more than ten years, how could I not have feelings for her?

Fortunately, the two sisters are going to get married one after another. Although they cannot be as close as real sisters, they should be able to support each other in the future because of the family relationship.

But if Zining could be brought back as soon as possible, it would be great if the two of them could get along like real sisters!

Zi Ning naturally didn't know what her mother was thinking. She looked at Lin Yanran's back as she left, and recalled the first time she met her.

That day in his mother's yard, Lin Zining entered a high-ranking courtyard for the first time, and met the nobles there for the first time. He was timid and panicked in his every move. Lin Yanran stood quietly beside her mother, looking Lin Zining up and down with a scrutinizing look, and then looked away.

She neither made sarcastic remarks nor acted in a pretentious manner to grab her mother's attention or show off everything she had. She was just proud and indifferent.

Maybe she was disdainful.

That day, my mother smiled and said, "Yanran looks more stable, so she should be the elder sister. Zining is the younger sister. You two sisters should get along well with each other in the future. Don't cause any trouble."

"I will follow mother's teachings, sister." Lin Yanran bowed to Zining, dignified and elegant, with excellent manners.

Lin Zining also imitated Lin Yanran and wanted to return the favor. However, the simple and easy gesture that Lin Yanran made was difficult to coordinate when it came to Lin Zining, and it looked very funny.

"Zining, are the Li family treating you well? Is Li Yan treating you well? Are you used to the life over there?" Zining had unknowingly sat on the round stool in Jiang Muyun's courtyard while reminiscing. The maid had already prepared tea.

Jiang Muyun saw the dark circles under Zining's eyes, and she felt sorry for her own daughter.

"Mother, Li Yan has a child, a three-year-old boy. He lied to father." Zining imitated the original owner's weak and helpless crying.

"This! This is outrageous! How dare Li Yan?" Jiang Muyun was very angry. "I went to his house to inquire before. At that time, Li Yan went to Beijing alone to take the exam. I couldn't find out anything about the family situation. I just looked at his age and thought that he should be taken care of by someone considerate. I never thought it would be like this. The group of people who went to Tong County to inquire reported to the master, and the master had no objection. Your father..." Jiang seemed to have thought of something and didn't say anything else.

"Mother! Why did Dad treat me like this!" Zining burst into tears and fell into Jiang's arms.

"My poor son, your father and mother said at the time that you grew up in the countryside and you don't know the rules and skills of a lady from a noble family. If you marry into an ordinary noble family, they may give you the dignity you deserve for your father's sake, but life in the harem will be hard if you don't have some ability. Li Yan's family is simple, with only his mother and a concubine. There is nothing special about it. You marry into the family with land and property, and you have a dowry. Li Yan is also promising. With your father, your future life will definitely not be bad."

Jiang patted Zi Ning's back and soothed him, "Listen, kid. That child is just a concubine's son. Don't mind it. Try your best to give birth to a legitimate son and raise him well. With your father around, your future will not be bad. If Li Yan is not a fool, he should know whose children he should be close to."

Just as Jiang said, the left prime minister Lin Wei had long known about the existence of the bastard, but to him he was just a bastard and not worth mentioning.

But the original Lin Zining had such a weak character, and the Li family was used to being savage and cruel in the countryside. Even the simplest family was still in a dangerous place, wasn't it? Lin Zining also brought good land, houses, shops, and jewelry with her when she married. Isn't this just throwing meat buns at a dog - there is no return. It would be better to give it directly to Li Yan so that Lin Zining would suffer less.

Lin Wei only considers his own power and has never put himself in Lin Zining's shoes. How sad.

"Mother will prepare some personal money for you. Keep it safe and don't take it out without telling others. Bring a nanny with you this time to take care of your body and help you manage the servants." Jiang Muyun also instructed Zining about some matters in the rear house, such as how to get along with the mother-in-law and how to be considerate to her husband. Zining agreed to all of them.

Not long after, lunch was served. During the meal, only Lin Wei, Jiang Muyun, Zi Ning and Li Yan were present, as well as Lin Honghao, the concubine's son of Prime Minister Lin, and Lin Yanyan, the concubine's daughter. Lin Yanran was not present because she was not feeling well.

The Lin family has a strict family tradition and no one spoke during the meal.

After a simple family dinner, Zining and Li Yan went back home. Lin Wei and Zining didn't talk to each other, no exhortations, instructions, concern, or teaching.

In the carriage, Zi Ning noticed that Li Yan seemed to be in a good mood.

Thinking about the friendship between Li Yan and Yue Niang since childhood and the fact that they have a son, if she wants to alienate their relationship, she needs to play the role of a gentle and virtuous mistress who is well-educated and well-mannered and can talk to Li Yan, but at the same time she cannot lose her temper.

"Master seems to be in a good mood. Is there any good news?" Zi Ning looked at Li Yan with a faint smile, like a gentle breeze.

Li Yan looked at Zining's petite and pretty face and felt that although his wife occasionally had a bad temper, she was a gentle person most of the time. Even though the issue of the dowry was unpleasant, it was not enough to make their relationship awkward.

So he replied, "My father-in-law said that I will be given an official position soon and asked me to make preparations in the near future." Li Yan was overjoyed and seemed unable to resist the urge to show his talents and realize his ambitions.

"Father has a keen eye and has long seen that you are a great talent. When we were at home earlier, father often praised you, saying that your writing is very spiritual and like a rough jade. If you carve it carefully, you will surely achieve something in the future. Please don't let father down."

Zi Ning knows very well that Phoenix Men love to hear nice words and like to eat big cakes. He doesn’t know whether they have the ability or not, but he just can’t stand to hear any unpleasant words.

"Did my father really say that? I will never let him down!" Li Yan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. It seemed as if he had become the prime minister and was in charge of the country. He didn't even notice that Zining was laughing beside him.

Just continue to be complacent. The more complacent you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. The more you desire something, the harder it is to get it. In this life, you will never get what you want.

After returning to the Li family, Li Yan went to have a reunion with several classmates, while Zining returned to Yingyuexuan.

"Master, Chang'er doesn't want to eat. He doesn't want to have breakfast or lunch. He said he wants to see Yue Niang." Chunying bowed and reported.

Zining had just sat down and drank a sip of tea when he heard the news that Chang'er was in a bad mood again. He felt helpless.

People are indeed coming, but it’s really frustrating.

"If he doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. As long as he doesn't cry, don't bother with him. If he still doesn't want to eat tomorrow, force him to eat. When the master comes in the evening, tell him he's asleep."

As for Chang'er, as long as he didn't die, that was all that mattered. When Li Yan had more children, he would naturally not pay attention to just that one child.
