After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Zhou Hui only looked a little tired because he was practicing martial arts, but he was in good spirits.

"Sir, Madam has already prepared hot water and stomach-warming porridge."

Zhaoyao stepped forward, took the stationery from the prince's hand, walked in front, and quickly lifted the curtain for him.

Zhou Hui nodded and entered the carriage. Zhou Rong had already prepared some tea and handed it to him, saying, "Big brother, have some tea."

Zhou Hui was slightly surprised; he didn't expect his sister to come and pick him up.

He calmly took the tea, drank a sip, and said, "Not bad! My tea art has improved."

"Hehe!" Zhou Rong covered her mouth and laughed twice, and said happily: "Big brother, you don't know, I'm very powerful. They all wanted to go out of the house to pick you up. In the end, I won."

Zhou Hui put the teacup on the table and said helplessly: "You are becoming more and more lively and naughty now. Where is the etiquette you learned from Mr. Etiquette?"

There was some annoyance in his words, but Zhou Rong laughed.

"I have memorized all those etiquettes. But we are siblings, so there is no need to be polite. Big brother, you are jealous."

Zhou Rong sniffed it and shook her head in disgust.

Big brother smells of sweat. Has he not taken a shower in several months?

"I haven't showered in the past three days, so my body smells sour."

Zhou Hui was helpless. Although he was not assigned a bad number, he had indeed not taken a shower for three days.

Zhou Rong laughed twice and asked about what happened in the examination room.

Zhou Hui also explained everything to her one by one, not looking annoyed at all.

Hequan, Lin Family

Before Lin Su'er came back, they received a letter from the Duke Heng's Mansion.

The letter meant that Lin Su'er became sick due to homesickness in Shangjing City and had been bedridden for a long time.

So, they thought of sending the Lin family to the capital to bring her back so that she could recuperate.

After reading it, Madam Lin Er laughed twice and said sarcastically, "Interesting, really very interesting. It seems that our Miss Lin is not having a good time in Shangjing City."

Seeing that Lin Suer was not doing well, Mrs. Lin Er felt her mood improved.

"Madam, shall we go and pick her up?" Mother Qian also saw the letter. Duke Heng's Mansion has sent someone to pick her up. Should they go?

"Receive it? Who will receive it? Send someone to deliver the letter to the clan and let the clan elders make the decision. If the clan elders cannot make up their minds, then send it to the Qingyang Sun family."

The Lin family had split up a long time ago, and according to the relationship, it was not her, the second aunt, who should go to take the child in.

She is a daughter of the Lin family, and the decision should be made by the elders of the Lin clan ancestral hall.

Besides, if the elders of the clan are unwilling, it is the grandparents who should go and pick up the child.

It would never be her turn as the second aunt.

Mother Sun nodded, took the envelope and ran quickly to the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin Er was leisurely sipping tea and didn't care about Lin Su'er at all.

At this time, Xiuchun, who was beside Mrs. Lin Er, came in and whispered, "Madam, the eldest lady has arrived in Qingyang."

"Oh? She actually came back? That's something new."

This incident shocked Mrs. Lin Er. Why did he come back suddenly?

"According to the servants we bribed, the eldest girl came back this time not only to commemorate her deceased mother, but also for her dowry." When Xiuchun said this, her face turned a little strange.

"Oh! I don't even like her food. Let's just pretend we don't know anything about this. Let's go to the kitchenette and see what to make for the children today."

Mrs. Lin Er pursed her lips. This eldest daughter of the Lin family had learned her mother's stingy temper completely.

At the beginning, when Sun Ciyao got married, it was indeed a grand wedding.

These include beds, bathtubs, tables, benches, dressers, and even coffins.

But it has been used by Sun Ciyao.

In addition, there are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, clothing materials, medicinal materials and porcelain.

The Lin family did not split up at the beginning, but Sun Ciyao could not help crying and making a fuss, as she felt that Lin Er was taking advantage of Lin Da.

So, one year after Mrs. Lin Er got married, the family was divided.

Lin Er embarked on a business career, while Lin Da embarked on an official career.

But, is it so easy to get into the officialdom? Besides having the ability, one must also know how to curry favor with others.

What a pity! Lin Da is neither good at currying favor with others nor capable.

So, Lin Da became a scapegoat and was successfully exiled.

After Sun Ciyao learned that Lin Da was exiled, she fell ill. She didn't understand why she was exiled after planning everything for Lin Da.

Sun Ciyao was very calculating. Before sending Lin Suer to the capital, she gave the dowry to Mrs. Lin II, under the pretext of letting her keep it.

In fact, he just wanted to scheme against Mrs. Lin Er and wanted her to support his daughter.

Sun Ciyao had a beautiful thought. When the time comes, Lin Suer will come with the dowry list to ask for the dowry.

If something was missing, Mrs. Lin would be unable to explain even if she had a big mouth.

However, she did not expect that Mrs. Lin II agreed.

However, she asked the county magistrate and famous scholars of Hequan to act as witnesses, and counted the items clearly in front of Sun Ciyao.

Madam Lin Er will always remember Sun Ciyao’s expression, which turned even paler than before.

Sun Ciyao never expected that Mrs. Lin Er would do this.

In this way, Sun Ciyao's plan would not work.

Mrs. Lin Er didn't take this matter to heart. It would be better if Lin Suer took those things away!

The broken things were taken away and the yard was left empty.

After Mother Qian gave the letter to the clan elders, they read it and unanimously agreed to send it to the Sun family in Qingyang.

Because the Lin family’s most dear grandparents had passed away long ago, who would be willing to take on a burden?

Besides, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future with her mother’s reputation.

It's like a hot potato, whoever wants it can take it.

After Mother Qian came out, she asked someone to deliver the letter directly to the Sun family in Qingyang.

As soon as Xin left Hequan, Lin Suer returned to Hequan in a carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Suer lifted the curtain, looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, and was lost in memories for a moment.

In the past, she often accompanied her mother to Yu Ji Dim Sum Shop on East Street to buy sweet and delicious egg cakes, crispy crabapple cakes, and peach blossom cakes with milky skin and red bean filling.

Lin Suer lowered the car curtain and said in a hoarse voice, "Wangchun, we'll wait for you at the street. Go buy some egg cakes, crabapple cakes, and peach blossom cakes."

"Yes!"

After Wangchun responded, he hurried to Yu Ji Dim Sum Shop on East Street.

Mulan fanned her gently and said with pity, "Young lady, are you thinking about the master and the mistress?"

Egg cake was the girl’s favorite pastry when she was a child, and the master would buy it for her every time he came back.

Begonia Puff Pastry is the master's favorite pastry. Every time the lady and the girls go shopping, they will buy some for the master.

As for Peach Blossom Pastry, it is the Madam's favorite pastry. Every time the Master buys egg cakes, he will buy it back.

Such a happy family of three came to an abrupt end when the master was exiled!

"This is one of the reasons why I don't want to go back to Hequan. Every corner of Hequan contains memories of me and my parents. How can I not be sad? Everything is my fault. Until now, I have not been able to save my father."

Lin Suer stretched out her slender fingers to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but the tears could not stop flowing.

Mulan quickly stepped forward to wipe her tears and said distressedly: "Girl, don't cry anymore! It's bad for your health."

Lin Su'er leaned against Mulan and choked up, "Mulan, you and Wangchun have followed me since you were little, and you know that I am not a calculating person. But now, in order to save my father, I have to think twice about every idea. I am sorry to let you suffer with me."

Mulan was moved. She thought of the scene where she was driven out by her father on a rainy day and was eventually rescued and brought home by the girl.

"Miss, do you still remember? I was only five years old that year, and I was driven out by my cruel father and stepmother. It was you and Madam who saved me. Madam said that the Lin Mansion would be my home in the future."

When Mulan said this, she started crying.

If possible, who would be willing to sell themselves?
