"What are you talking about!" Chuntao's face turned red with anger.

"The old lady's reward has just been delivered, but the young lady went out without wearing anything. Could it be that she dislikes the gift from the old lady..."

Fuling plucked up the courage to speak sarcastically.

"That's right. If the old lady knew about this, she would probably blame us servants for being so tactless that we mistook good things for fish eyes..."

Listening to Fuling and Mrs. Zhou talking to each other in a roundabout way, Lin Yushu smiled slightly.

"Madame Zhou, Fuling, don't worry. It's not that I don't want to wear the clothes given by the old lady, but I have not been in the mansion for many years. Grandmother doesn't know my size. The dress is too big. If I wear it, it will bring shame to the general's mansion..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou and Fuling were secretly shocked. If people saw that the clothes of the general's eldest daughter were not fit, the rumors would probably never stop.

In fact, the dress was tailored according to Lin Yushu's size when she entered the mansion. The reason why it doesn't fit now is thanks to the old lady's "care" during this period.

"And it's not that I didn't bring any gifts from grandma, but I was afraid that if I wore them all on my body, what if they got bumped into? If I broke grandma's kindness, wouldn't that be disrespectful to her?"

Mrs. Zhou and Fuling were both stunned when they heard this. They glanced up and down at Lin Yushu, and made sure that they didn't see any golden light at all. They couldn't help but look puzzled.

Lin Yushu raised her hand with a smile, and her sleeves slid down gently, revealing skin as white as mutton-fat jade. On her slender wrist hung a huge gilded bracelet, so big that it seemed able to break her thin arm.

Because it was so big, Lin Yushu easily pulled the bracelet down to her elbow. Because she was wearing thick clothes in winter, not a single ray of gold could be seen through her sleeves.

The corners of Zhou Pozi and Fuling's eyes twitched, and Fuling couldn't help but ask, "Why is the eldest lady only wearing a bracelet?"

"Bracelets are good, I can put them in my sleeves, but hairpins, earrings, necklaces, etc., are not safe to hang on my body, and they are so thin, what if they fall off or get lost, they are made of gold!"

Lin Yushu spoke seriously, seemingly unaware of the contempt in Zhou Pozi and Fuling's eyes. Lin Yushu understood their looks.

I'm afraid the two of them are thinking, the eldest daughter of the general's mansion is afraid of losing her jewelry, and is so distressed about gold and silver, so she doesn't let them into the house, is it because she is afraid that they will steal her things? !

What a shallow-minded little girl! How can she be the eldest daughter of the general's mansion? She is a miser!

After saying that, Lin Yushu carefully put down her sleeves, hid the bracelet, and walked out of the yard as if she was carrying a treasure.

Fuling stomped her feet, turned around, hurried out through the back door, and walked towards Ci'an Hospital.

"Did she really say that?"

The old lady was a little surprised to hear Fuling's reply. Although she knew that Lin Yushu was uneducated, ignorant of etiquette and dull, she didn't expect that she cared so much about money. Thinking of the money-loving old woman Wang in the other courtyard, the old lady understood a little.

With Lin Yushu's personality, her marriage will be easy!

He wanted to ruin her reputation or leave her with a scar just to shut up Lin Yushu's father and some busybodies about Lin Yushu's unreasonable marriage and not affect Lin Minglang's reputation.

But if Lin Yushu could be made willing, or even yearn for it, then things would be much easier.

"When she comes back, give her her monthly allowance and pass on a message..."

Nanny Li's eyes gleamed and she nodded in agreement.

Lin Yushu knew that she was able to leave the house so smoothly this time because she had heard that Madam Cao had sent her a letter. Thinking of the setback Lin Minglang had suffered at the hands of Cao Zhishui, the old lady would definitely let her leave the house.

Lin Yushu, who was sitting in the carriage at the moment, didn't care at all about how the old lady was going to plot against her. She was only thinking about her grandmother whom she was about to meet.

My grandmother was born into the Ji family, a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Through words and deeds, my grandmother also had a head for business and opened countless shops in the capital. Therefore, after my grandfather passed away, although the reputation of the Duke of Qing’s Mansion was not as good as before, the family assets have always been quite prosperous.

Even my mother's dowry was one of the most generous in the capital. Unfortunately, after my mother passed away, all these things were confiscated by the general's mansion. I'm afraid they were all looted by the old lady and the second lady.

However, that was her mother's dowry after all, and she had to take it back no matter how much was left!

The carriage slowly stopped. Lin Yushu helped Chuntao get out of the car. She looked up and saw a plaque with four large characters "Duke Qing's Mansion" written in a majestic and magnificent style. Those were the words of her grandfather.

"Shu'er!"

A crisp call brought Lin Yushu back to her senses.

Before she could see who it was, the person came over like a gust of wind and pulled Lin Yushu to his side.

"It's really Shu'er, it's really you. For so many years... your aunt has missed you so much..."

The person in front of her was Lin Yushu’s second aunt, Yao, who had a lively and cheerful personality. At this moment, the second aunt held Lin Yushu’s little face in her hands, smiling with tears in her eyes.

Seeing the relatives who died tragically in the previous life appear in front of her again, Lin Yushu couldn't help but tear up, "Shu'er greets my second aunt."

"Hurry up and come with me to see your grandmother. If your aunt hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid your grandmother would have been waiting for you at the gate of the mansion."

Yao held onto Lin Yushu's hand tightly, muttering, "Why are you so thin? Your grandmother tried her best over the years... but she couldn't protect you in the end."

Lin Yushu lowered her head and bit her lip. It turned out that her grandmother had been trying to protect her. It was a pity that the Lin Mansion's villa was closely watched by the old lady and the second lady, and the servants in her yard were replaced every once in a while.

Before her rebirth, she rarely left the courtyard, and even when she did, she was always accompanied by Zhaodi and Wang Pozi. Now that she thought about it, she was afraid that the old lady and the second lady did not want her grandmother to come into contact with her.

In the previous life, my grandmother did not agree with Lin Yushu marrying Nan Huaishuo, saying that she did not want Lin Yushu to be involved in the royal affairs and have no peace.

Now that I think about it, my grandmother has always had a sharp eye. She must have seen through Nan Huaishu's ill intentions a long time ago, but she couldn't stand Lin Yushu's stubbornness.

Although the Duke of Qing's mansion was extremely wealthy, it was not luxurious, but rather had a natural, simple elegance. Every spring, everything came back to life, and the mansion was filled with a new scene, as if you were in a water village in the south of the Yangtze River, elegant and picturesque.

Lin Yushu knew that every blade of grass and every tree in this mansion were planted by her grandparents personally.

When my grandfather was young, he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and fell in love with my grandmother at first sight. They eventually became a lifelong couple, which made other noble ladies in the capital who had wives and concubines in their yards envious.

Influenced by her grandparents, Lin Yushu's eldest uncle and second uncle did not take concubines.

Before she could even walk into the backyard, a green figure flashed over, and a heroic face came closer, with beautiful phoenix eyes looking at Lin Yushu curiously.

"You are my cousin? Why are you so thin..."

As he said this, he reached out to pull Lin Yushu's sleeve.

"Ling'er, why are you back? Did you skip school?!"

Yao snapped the girl's hand open, grabbed her ear and pulled her aside, her eyebrows raised, completely losing her gentleness just now.

"Mom! It hurts, it hurts, please let go..."

Lin Yushu stared in amazement at the mother and daughter who were making a fuss in front of her. The girl was her second aunt's legitimate daughter, Ye Wanling. She had never expected that Ye Wanling, who seemed as heroic and straightforward as a man in the eyes of outsiders, would behave so naively in front of her biological mother.

Lin Yushu sighed in her heart. These were things she had never seen in her previous life. After all, Ye Wanling in her previous life had been killed by Lin Jiang a long time ago!
