The night was already deep, and there was the sound of carriage wheels on the road, but there was nothing else.

In the carriage, Lin Jianyue was nestling next to her aunt, with a smile on her face. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing.

Reaching out and tapping her niece's eyebrows, Zhang said angrily, "Why are you so silly and happy? Look, you're laughing so hard you can't even open your eyes!"

"I'm just glad that my aunt is protecting me like this!" Lin Jianyue leaned her head tightly against her aunt, and her tone was a little softer than the usual coldness, which was consistent with the way many girls behave around their families nowadays.

Mrs. Zhang was still smiling at first, but after hearing these words, her heart felt astringent, as if she had eaten a green orange.

Mrs. Zhang thought of her two sons. Although they were taught harshly, if they were bullied over the years, as a mother, she would naturally protect them.But my niece was raised in the Houfu, and none of the elders treated her sincerely. She must have never tasted the feeling of being protected by relatives in these years.

"Silly boy!" Mrs. Zhang took her niece into her arms, feeling her niece's slender and soft body, and her heart tightened even more uncomfortably.

The carriage stopped, and the maid helped the two of them get out of the carriage. At this time, the door of the city lord's mansion was brightly lit.

The City Lord's Mansion is spacious and grand. Although it is difficult to see clearly at this late night, the majestic gate shows the solemnity of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Mrs. Cheng, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Before she could stand firm, she heard a cheerful voice and a figure slowly approached.

This person was wearing an elegant black piping robe. He was not tall and had good facial features. When he smiled, he felt sincere.

"I can't bear the words of the city lord!" Mrs. Zhang gave a slight salute, but there was displeasure on her face.

City Lord Liu quickly invited the two of them into the mansion, and even looked at Lin Jianyue next to Zhang and said, "This must be Miss Lin, she is such a handsome child! My wife has an impatient temper, and Rong'er's child is always causing trouble." , I have already punished her! I even feel guilty for asking you two to come here late at night today!"

As City Lord Liu said this, he led the two of them into the main hall and asked his wife to serve tea in person.

This move can be said to be extremely appropriate, and it can be regarded as lowering one's position.

Mrs. Zhang never even touched the tea cup, and there was no smile on her face from beginning to end.

Lin Jianyue stayed by her aunt's side obediently. She felt that her aunt was a little strange at this time. Unlike her usual harmonious and joyful appearance, her aunt at this time was full of majesty.But I have to say that no matter what kind of aunt she is, Lin Jianyue likes her very much.

"City Master Liu's words are serious. Madam Liu has a bad temper, and so do I! No, seeing Madam Liu come to the door to ask for an explanation for your daughter, I have to follow suit! Naturally, our children are not in vain. I've been wronged!" Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, her manner being noble.

City Lord Liu's smile never fell. After hearing this, he glanced at the lady beside him. The look in his eyes contained oppression, which made Madam Liu tremble unconsciously.

"I have heard Madam talk about this matter. This matter is indeed Madam and Rong'er's fault!" City Lord Liu said, looking directly at the servants behind him, and in the blink of an eye, rows of maids were holding their hands. All kinds of jewelry and gorgeous clothes are dazzling.

"This is a special apology from this city lord to Miss Lin! I hope Miss Lin doesn't have the same experience as Rong'er!" City lord Liu looked at Lin Jianyue with a hint of oppression in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Lin Jianyue was not afraid.Not to mention that she has experienced life and death herself, she has already developed a certain temperament when dealing with the current emperor, queen, and prince. How can she calm things down just because of a look from others? Then she, Lin Jianyue, is no longer Lin Jianyue. "Auntie, why do you look at these things so often? They are not even half as good as the ones you gave me!" Lin Jianyue said coquettishly, with a somewhat innocent tone, "Is it possible that the City Lord's Mansion is really poor? "

Mrs. Zhang was originally very angry, but when she saw her niece acting like this, when she looked at City Master Liu, her expression changed and her eyebrows were raised. She felt that her niece was extremely cute at this moment.

"City Lord Liu, what do you mean by this! I don't think I, Chengjiabao, have ever seen these things! I came here late at night just to get some of these worthless things?" Zhang's tone was high, with a look of displeasure on his face.

There is nothing good in her Chengjiapu, so it’s ridiculous to try to calm things down with this little thing!What's more, Mrs. Zhang is here to support her niece, not to fight against the autumn wind.

City Master Liu never expected that a girl's face would not change at all when faced with these many jewels.

"Mrs. Cheng is serious! This is the first time I have met Miss Lin today. I am in a hurry. This is a meeting gift for Miss Lin!" Mrs. Liu hurriedly opened her mouth to save her, but it was actually very painful. You must know that she was the one who saw those jewelry. Not help but jealous.

"It turns out it's a meeting gift!" Mrs. Zhang's face seemed to look better.

Lin Jianyue didn't know what her aunt meant. She didn't want to give up the things she sent to her door.

"My little girl thanked the city lord!" Lin Jianyue gave a slight salute and accepted these things directly, but it was not a name to apologize for as a meeting gift.

The things were sent out, but the matter was not resolved yet. City Lord Liu gritted his teeth, but could not show the slightest displeasure.

City Lord Liu had heard before that Mrs. Cheng was extremely difficult to deal with. But before, the Liu family and the Cheng family were very happy to get along and cooperate with each other and didn't find anything. But now he understands that the rumors are true.

"Actually, this matter is between juniors. I have already taught Rong'er a lesson!" City Lord Liu spoke again. He finally understood that Chengjiabao valued this cousin very much. In this case, he also Show some sincerity.

"It is indeed a dispute between the girl's family. In that case, please invite Miss Liu out and let the two girls negotiate on their own!" Mrs. Zhang said very generously.

Anyway, she was sitting here today, and no one would want to bully her niece. What's more, Mrs. Zhang also knew that her niece was not someone to be trifled with.

Madam Liu hesitated, but City Master Liu said directly, "Go, take Rong'er out and apologize to Miss Lin!"

Although City Lord Liu dotes on his daughter very much, he cannot be careless when it comes to his own future. It would be terrible to offend Cheng Jiabao. After all, he, the City Lord of Licheng, relies on Cheng Jiabao.

Mrs. Liu did not dare to disobey her husband, so she quickly lowered her head and went inside to ask her daughter to come out. However, she waited and did not see Liu Rong.

Just when Mrs. Zhang was very impatient and was about to get up, Mrs. Liu took her daughter into the main hall.

Liu Rong's neck was wrapped in fine cloth. The moment he saw Lin Jianyue, his face showed hatred, but he was pressed by his mother and walked to Lin Jianyue.
