Chapter 13

A few days ago, Lin Youyi made her mark at Concubine Xiao's Flower Appreciation Conference, and she has become a very popular figure in Beijing.

Whenever the well-known Shuyuans have any activities, they will post to invite her.

However, regardless of the identity of the other party, Lin Youyi declined all the outsiders.

Of course, the reason she gave really made people unable to find fault: it is not suitable to go out because of the sickness of the mother.

Lin Youyi used this method to convey the news of Lin's mother's illness to the Marquis of Chengyang. Could it be that her meaning was not clear enough?
While Lin Youyi was hesitating, Xing'er who was beside her suddenly let out a cry.

Lin Youyi's heart skipped a beat when she was startled by this little girl, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and turned to cast a reproachful glance at her.

"Look at your surprise, I was taken aback! Stand still, what's your name?"

"Miss, Chengyang Hou Mansion...Chengyang Hou Mansion!"

Xing'er's eyes widened, she seemed to be both surprised and happy.

She stretched out her small hand, pointing incoherently at an invitation card next to Lin Youyi's hand, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

"What Chengyanghou Mansion..."

Lin Youyi was stunned, and looked in the direction of Xing'er's finger, and she saw an invitation card with the logo of Chengyang Hou Mansion printed on it.

She hurriedly picked up the invitation, unfolded it and read it carefully.

However, when Lin Youyi closed the invitation again, she couldn't help sighing solemnly.

"Miss, but the Marquis of Chengyang invited our wife to a banquet?"

Lin Youyi looked up at Xing'er without answering the question, "Xing'er, go find out, the old lady of Chengyang Hou Mansion has already returned to Beijing?"

"Yes, miss, you are really well informed!"

"When did this happen?"

"It happened within two days after you came back from the palace. I heard what the servants said when I went to the concierge to give you the invitation just now. I also heard that the old lady of the Chengyang Hou Mansion returned to the mansion. It was a big scene! Even the Marquis of Chengyang was at the gate of the city, standing and waiting for half an hour!"

After Xing'er finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Youyi cautiously, seeing her face sinking like water, she continued.

"I wanted to say this just now, miss, but seeing that you seem to be in a bad mood, I didn't dare to bother you with these trivial matters. Ah, this invitation was not sent by the old lady of Chengyang Hou Mansion, right?"

Xing'er bravely guessed, and after she finished speaking, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Exactly!"

While Lin Youyi was speaking, she stretched out her finger and pushed the invitation card forward.

Xing'er understood, took a step forward, picked up the invitation card, unfolded it and took a quick look.

"The old lady of Chengyang Hou's mansion is going to hold a lecture meeting and invite her to listen to the scriptures? That's a good thing! Madam eats fast and recites Buddhism on weekdays, and she is devout. Even if she talks about the scriptures, she may not lose to those Buddhas. Officials of Snake Heart!"

"What kind of lecture conference, I think it's a Hongmen Banquet!"

"Miss, why do you say that?"

Lin Youyi became suspicious. She vaguely remembered that in her last life, the old lady of the Chengyang Hou Mansion stayed in her hometown to raise her daughter because she refused to accept the climate change.

Chunxiao, the Marquis of Chengyang, would visit him in person every new year.

The emperor was grateful for the filial piety, loyalty and bravery of the Marquis of Chengyang, and even praised him in front of all the officials, and specially asked the Marquis of Chengyang to have an extra seven-day bath every month, so that he could go back to his hometown to visit his mother.

This time, the old lady of the Chengyang Hou Mansion came back so suddenly, and the timing was so coincidental...

How could Lin Youyi not be suspicious?

Xiao Yu'an!
It was Xiao Yu'an's trick again!

What about the seminar, all the mansions in the city that had invited Lin Youyi knew about Lin's mother's illness.

The old lady of Chengyang Hou's mansion sent an invitation to Lin's mother at this time, clearly intending to make things difficult!

Now, Mother Lin is really stuck in a dilemma!

If she didn't go, it would be a disgrace to the old lady's elegance and shame on Marquis of Chengyang!

But if she goes, all the dignitaries who were declined because of her illness will be offended all over again!

What's more, people have to laugh and talk behind their backs, Lin's mother has gone to great lengths and unscrupulous methods to cling to Chengyang Hou!
It seems that Lin's mother will not be able to bear this severance!
Lin Youyi couldn't help muttering angrily in her heart: This Xiao Yu'an really doesn't stop for a moment!

He invited back the big Buddha, the old lady. No wonder the Marquis of Chengyang didn't do anything in the past few days.

Thinking about it, the life of Chengyang Hou is not easy.

Just as Lin Youyi guessed, Marquis Chengyang had already knelt in the old lady's small Buddhist hall for a whole night.

But even so, the old lady didn't give him any good looks!

If it wasn't for the sudden arrival of military affairs and the emperor hastily summoned the Marquis of Chengyang into the palace to discuss, he still doesn't know how long he would have to kneel before the old lady let go.

Mother Lin took the freshly made lotus cake and walked into the hall. When she looked up, she saw Lin Youyi, a clever little ghost, frowning, sitting there silently with a sad face.

"What's the matter, the boss with an unhappy face! Come on, eat some lotus flower cakes while it's hot, didn't you say you were greedy yesterday? Today, it's enough!"

Mother Lin said, picked up a piece of lotus cake, ate it, and then stretched out her hand to Lin Youyi.

Lin Youyi regained her composure, and hurriedly took the lotus cake and took a bite.

"Well, that's the taste! The lotus flower cake made by mother is the most delicious!"

"Ninny, why were you frowning just now, but you encountered something that didn't go your way, you might as well tell your mother about it."

Lin Youyi didn't say much, but while eating the lotus cake, she pushed the invitation card sent by Chengyang Hou Mansion to Mother Lin.

"See for yourself!"

"Why did you invite me? I'm not good at this!"

"Mom, this is not the point, okay?"

"Then... what is the point?"

"The point is, do you want to be invited?"

"I think... just let it go!"

"Not going? Then you are not afraid of being blamed by the old lady? Are you not afraid that you will offend the Marquis of Chengyang, which will be detrimental to your uncle's career?"

Lin Youyi's mouth was full of scum, and she spoke vaguely. She looked really naive, and it also made Lin's mother amused.

Mother Lin smiled and reached out to wipe Lin Youyi's mouth, then changed her words with a embarrassed face.

"You child, no one is robbing you, eat slowly! If that's the case, I'll go! It's a big deal, just be careful with your words and just avoid people."

When Lin Youyi heard Mother Lin say this, she tilted her head again and asked slyly.

"Go? Then you are not afraid that the old lady will make things difficult for you in public, embarrass you, and make you unable to step down?"

"Then it's not going to go, and it's not going to go! What do you think should be done?"

When Lin's mother heard this, Lin Youyi told all the irony and irony, and she didn't know what to do.
