The gate of the General's Mansion is tall and majestic, with two majestic stone lions in front of the gate. The most eye-catching thing is the plaque written by the late emperor himself - "Mighty General's Mansion". These five big characters have brought infinite glory to the Lin family.
The second lady was dressed in her best attire, standing dignifiedly at the gate, smiling and waiting for Lin Yushu's return.
Many people gathered outside the general's mansion to watch the fun. Of course, half of them were hired by the second wife.
There have been rumors rife in the capital lately, most of which are accusations and abuses against Lord Lin, the Minister of Rites, for mistreating his niece. In order to demonstrate the importance the General's Mansion places on this young lady and to quell the "rumors", the scene of welcoming Lin Yushu into the mansion today must be grand and warm.
A stick of incense has passed.
Half an hour passed,
An hour passed...
The second wife's smile froze on her face, her legs trembled uncontrollably, and her neck stretched an inch longer.
Many people in the crowd dispersed, and it turned out that they were all people she had sent people to find.
A pariah who only takes money and does nothing!
The second lady cursed angrily in her heart. Suddenly, a group of people came from afar. The second lady breathed a sigh of relief. They finally came.
As the distance got closer, everyone saw that this group of people, some lame, some injured, and in tattered clothes, were walking towards them, supporting each other.
The second lady's frozen mouth corners slowly relaxed.
Wasn't it just Lin Yushu's carriage that fell off the cliff? Did these useless idiots fall off as well?!
"Is that the person from the General's Mansion who went to pick up the young lady?"
"Impossible. They look like neither human nor ghost. They are probably refugees."
The Second Lady's face became more and more ugly. She didn't cry with joy as she had expected due to the long-awaited reunion!
Seeing Lin Yushu injured, she wanted to show concern and comfort her, but no!
While trying to save the face of the General's Mansion, he inadvertently revealed that Lin Yushu would be left with a scar in order to control her marriage. No!
Not at all!
Only Lin Yushu, who was walking towards her slowly from a group of beggar-like servants, had a slender figure and dignified manner, and was completely unharmed!
The moment she saw Lin Yushu's face clearly, it was as if a hand had tightly grasped Second Madam's heart. This little bitch looked too much like her damn mother.
There was a loud gasp from the crowd.
"This is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. She is so beautiful!"
"If I had known her earlier, how could the second young lady of the Lin family be considered the most beautiful woman in the capital?"
Lin Yushu wore a goose yellow cotton skirt, a plain velvet embroidered jacket, and a light gray satin cape. Her half-worn clothes were made dull by the second wife's shiny fur.
However, Lin Yushu's appearance was as bright as the sun shining through the dark clouds, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Lin Yushu walked straight to the second lady and knelt down to salute without looking around.
"Hello, Second Aunt. I hope you are well. My niece is back."
The voice was melodious and clear, like that of an oriole, but it sounded like a death knell to the Second Lady. She tried her best to force a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Hurry up, there's no need to be polite as a family. Shu'er has really grown into a beauty. You don't know how long Second Aunt has been waiting for you."
The second lady's smile did not show in her eyes, and she secretly pulled Lin Yushu's hand hard.
Lin Yushu pulled her hand away calmly. Second Aunt was just as tough as she remembered, unwilling to suffer any loss. Her words and actions revealed that Lin Yushu was ignorant of etiquette and made her elders wait for a long time at the gate of the mansion.
"We encountered heavy snow on the way and the road was blocked. Thanks to Nanny Li who led us through the small paths in the mountains and forests in the snow. We hurriedly traveled for a day, but in the end, we still kept Second Aunt waiting for a long time. It's really my niece's fault."
Lin Yushu's neither humble nor arrogant attitude made the Second Madam choke and get angry.
Lin Yushu's words were very clear. In order to allow the Second Lady to see Lin Yushu on time, the servants of the General's Mansion actually made Lin Yushu, the eldest lady, brave the snow and walk through the mountains and forests for a whole day.
Just by looking at the dilapidated appearance and tattered clothes of these servants, the civilians watching the excitement outside the door knew that what Lin Yushu said was true.
However, it’s not over yet…
"Fortunately, my niece didn't have much luggage, so it didn't affect her trip."
After saying that, Lin Yushu smiled innocently and waved her hand at Chuntao and the other two behind her. Each of them was holding a small package in their hands, looking extremely shabby.
There were whispers in the crowd, and the Second Madam's polite smile began to crack. With just a sharp look, Nanny Li, who was standing behind, immediately stepped forward to report.
"Replying to the Second Madam, someone has been sent to the other courtyard to pick up the eldest lady's luggage, and two carriages will be able to return to the mansion soon."
Nanny Li was afraid that others might not hear her, so she spoke the words "two carriages" very clearly and loudly.
Two carriages full of luggage... Lin Yushu sneered in her heart, but a pure and surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Second Aunt actually sent someone to help my niece get back the things that Mrs. Wang had taken away!? Second Aunt loves Shu'er the most."
The second wife's smile completely collapsed, the corners of her mouth drooped and twitched, and she was unable to speak for a while.
Obviously, she had never expected that Lin Yushu, who was rumored to be dull and stupid, would suddenly become so bold and unrestrained.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Nanny Li reached out to support the Second Madam and secretly pinched her hard, which made the Second Madam come back to her senses.
"The eldest lady must be tired after traveling all the way in the snow. Second Madam and the eldest lady have not seen each other for many years. They must have a lot of personal things to talk about. It is better to let the eldest lady settle down in the mansion first and then talk in detail."
The Second Madam was so angry that she almost vomited. She wanted to slap Lin Yushu hard to wipe off her annoying smile.
But he knew in his heart that if Lin Yushu continued to speak without restraint in front of the mansion gate, she might say something shocking, and in the end it would be his master who would be embarrassed.
Seeing that the old lady's order had gone to waste and that she was bound to be scolded, the second lady became even more ruthless and thought to herself: Once I get into the mansion, I will make your life a living hell!
Swallowing the rage that was boiling in her heart, the second lady raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly and strangely.
"Look, I was so happy when I saw Shu'er that I was so busy talking to her that I forgot that she was weak. Come with Second Aunt to see your yard. I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."
As he spoke, he affectionately pulled Lin Yushu into the gate. As the gate closed, the gazes of the many curious people outside were blocked out.
As soon as she entered the door, the smile on the second lady's face immediately disappeared. Disdain and arrogance hung on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Her eyeballs slowly moved, and her gaze swept over Lin Yushu from head to toe, inch by inch.
He examined it intriguingly, as if evaluating the object.
Retracting her gaze, the Second Madam gently brushed away the nonexistent dust on her shoulders, her tone indifferent and arrogant, "Since you are back, you should stay in the mansion honestly. You don't know the rules, and you don't have to leave the yard for nothing, so as not to cause any jokes and embarrass your father!"
Lin Yushu nodded obediently, but Chuntao next to her was so angry that her neck became thick.
Seeing that Lin Yushu was relatively obedient, and thinking that the reckless words she said in front of the door were only because she was too stupid, the Second Lady looked down on her even more. After leaving only a maid to lead the way, the Second Lady and Nanny Li and their group left in a grand manner.
Lin Yushu lowered her head with a slight smile on her lips. She looked up and around the mansion where she had lived for many years in her previous life. She was back!
