Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 23 Beating the Servant
Zhou Yuexue is three years older than Lin Jinyan and will be 12 years old this year.She was in her golden age and had just begun to gain a figure. At this moment, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her watery eyes showed concern.

Lin Jinyan thought to herself: I wonder if Zhou Yuexue is really so scheming, or if he is still young and has not yet gone astray. She knows how vicious Zhou Yuexue is, but she can't see any flaws at this moment.

Seeing Lin Jinyan staring at her, Zhou Yuexue asked doubtfully:

"What's wrong with sister Jinyan?"

Lin Jinyan withdrew the hand held by Zhou Yuexue, stroked the creases on the book, and said with a smile:

"Sister, you have worked hard these days."

Zhou Yuexue felt that Lin Jinyan was quite cold towards her, but she still smiled without showing it on her face:

"It's not hard. As long as you're okay, I'll feel at ease. It's my fault that I shouldn't have taken you so far that night. I turned around and didn't see you in a hurry. I looked around for you, and then I heard someone say that you fell into the water."

Lin Jinyan said calmly: "My sister took me to play alone that night. Does grandma know?"

Zhou Yuexue's eyes flashed and she said: "When I heard that you fell into the water, the whole family was worried, and my aunt couldn't sleep at night. I didn't have time to tell her. Now that my sister is in good health, and my aunt is at peace, I will find an opportunity to apologize to her. Sister Jinyan, did you blame me for taking you too far and causing you to fall into the water?"

Lin Jinyan chuckled and said: "How could it be? My sister knelt down for me for several days. I was so grateful. Why would I blame my sister? The matter of taking me to play... I'm fine, and my sister doesn't need to tell my grandmother anymore. It's me. I’m not careful, so I really can’t blame my sister.”

Zhou Yuexue patted her heart, as if letting go of a major event:
"It's fine if my sister doesn't blame me. I'm also afraid that sister Jinyan will fall out with me because of this matter. I only have younger brothers in my family. Since I came to the Lin family for more than a year, I really like sister Jinyan from the bottom of my heart and treat her like my own sister. .”

Lin Jinyan smiled lightly and said: "My sister's kindness to me has always been remembered in my heart. I will treat my sister well in the future."

Zhou Yuexue said with a smile: "Sisters are so divided after talking about this. This is the soup I asked Dong'er to make for you before going to bed in the morning. Drink it while it's hot."

As she spoke, the maid behind Zhou Yuexue carried a food box and placed it on the stone table. Zhou Yuexue stood up, opened the food box, took out a small soup pot, and placed it in front of Lin Jinyan.

Lin Jinyan chuckled and said, "Thank you, sister. It's just that I just finished lunch and I really can't eat it now. Yu Lan took the soup down and drank it hot in the evening."

Yu Lan agreed and accepted the food box with a smile:

"Thank you, Miss Yuexue. I just made sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I'm going to put down the soup and give you a portion. You can take it back and try it."

Zhou Yuexue responded with a smile, and Lin Jinyan smiled lightly and said:

"Yu Lan is more like my sister's girl. Look at her thoughtfulness. She made the decision for me before I even said anything."

Yulan smiled and said: "I know that you and Miss Yuexue have always been close, Miss. Even if you don't say it, Miss will definitely let me pretend."

Lin Jinyan: "Now that you can be my boss, I look more like a young lady to you."

Yu Lan heard that the words were wrong, her hand holding the food box tightened and she whispered:

"Miss……"

Zhou Yuexue also noticed something was wrong, and when she was about to speak for Yulan, Lin Jinyan said with a smile:

"I'm joking with you, what are you afraid of? Can I still beat and scold you like other hot-tempered ladies in the house? Although beating and scolding slaves is common, our Lin family doesn't have it. At most, it's like Yuling Yuxiu made a big mistake like that and was just kicked out of the government."
