Doting on concubines and destroying wives?Come back and spread your family's ashes

Chapter 58 Playing with Xu Ximeng
Hearing these words, Lin Jinglan felt cold in her heart. She wanted to take it sooner rather than later, but waited until she had made up her mind before snatching it away. If she said she didn't mean to go against her, no one here would believe it.

Turning around, he saw a familiar figure.

"Princess Ximeng, what a coincidence!"

Xu Ximeng looked at Lin Jinglan with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I paid for these two sets of jewelry, so I took them away first. I believe that Miss Lin will not take them seriously since they are in large quantities."

Previously, Prince Zhao's Mansion had given way to Dingbei Hou Mansion because Xu Huaian wanted to marry a daughter of the Lin family. She was warned by her mother not to offend them.

But things are different now. Lin Qingxue has already married into their family, and she still married into their family with a disgraced reputation.

The situation at this time was naturally different. Xu Ximeng had been severely humiliated by Lin Jinglan before, so he naturally wanted to get it back.

I happened to be shopping when I saw Lin Jinglan inside. Needless to say, I came in to look for Lin Jinglan's bad luck.

"Princess Ximeng, even if you like these two sets of jewelry, everything has a first-come, first-served basis. I have just ordered these things with the shopkeeper. When we choose the others, we will pay for them together. This is how you do it Is there something wrong?"

Lin Jinglan's voice was very calm, neither humble nor overbearing, and she made sense.

"But I just like it. Besides, when buying something, it always belongs to the one who pays first. Is there anything wrong with me this time?"

Xu Ximeng blinked, looking innocent.

She said so. It seemed that no matter what happened today, Lin Jinglan couldn't get these things back from her hands.

"Since Princess Ximeng likes it so much, there is no harm in giving it to the princess. Xiaoluo, Qiaoyan, you can look at other things. If there is anything you like about me, Miss, I will buy it for you."

He said something to Xu Ximeng calmly, then turned to Su Xiaoluo and the other two.

Xu Ximeng was stunned. She didn't expect that these two sets of jewelry were actually bought by Lin Jinglan for the maid. So by acting like this, as the majestic princess of Prince Zhao's Mansion, wouldn't she be competing with the mere maids for things?

Suddenly I felt my face getting hot, and I hated Lin Jinglan even more.

Su Xiaoluo glanced at Xu Ximeng coldly.

"It's not a good thing. Don't worry about it, miss. Let's pick something else."

Su Xiaoluo's words not only made Xu Ximeng look ugly, but the other onlookers were also surprised.

It’s not a good thing. Is this talking about jewelry or people?

Xu Ximeng immediately became furious and took a step forward, intending to teach Su Xiaoluo a lesson.

But he was pulled away by a girl next to him. The girl had a bright face and a gentle temperament. She looked like a well-educated daughter of everyone.

"Princess, don't be impulsive, and don't argue with a maid, otherwise you will be inferior. It's okay. I think Cuihong and Cuiliu are well-behaved in serving you, so why not give them these two sets of jewelry."

The woman spoke in a gentle voice, neither soft nor serious, and everyone in the store could hear her.

"Yes, Sister Ruoyao is right. Green red and green willows, I will reward you with this jewelry."

After casually handing the jewelry to the two maids behind him, Xu Ximeng glanced at Lin Jinglan.

But Lin Jinglan's eyes were focused on the woman next to her.

"Hello, Miss Lin. My name is Yang Ruoyao, and I am the niece of Princess Zhao. I have long heard of Miss Lin's good reputation. When I saw her today, it turned out to be true. Miss Lin is really stunning in appearance and elegant in demeanor."

Yang Ruoyao was very good at talking, and Lin Jinglan had to admit that most people would like her when they saw her.

Of course, this also includes his eldest brother, Lin Qingfeng.

"Miss Ruoyao, thank you. I heard that Princess Zhao has a niece who she has raised by her since she was a child and loves her very much. It seems that she is Miss Yang." It is true that Yang Ruoyao was raised by Princess Zhao, but she is not Princess Zhao's biological niece. She's just a distant niece, with no identity or background, just trying to get a good reputation.

From Lin Jinglan's point of view, this Yang Ruoyao was much more capable than Lin Qingxue. She did things thoughtfully and with clear goals. She must have contributed to her death in her previous life.

Originally, Yang Ruoyao wanted to marry Xu Huaian, but after Xu Huaian's legs were disabled, she quickly changed her target and focused on her eldest brother Lin Qingfeng.

She was indeed very capable. After several struggles of refusing and welcoming, Lin Qingfeng also had feelings for him, but because of her identity, she was not given a status.

Lin Qingfeng is interested in powerful families, and the woman he wants to marry must be a powerful woman from a wealthy family, so that she can help him.

Naturally, Yang Ruoyao was not willing to give in. She disrupted Lin Qingfeng's marriage and let others know about her and Lin Qingfeng's affairs in public. In desperation, Lin Qingfeng had no choice but to marry her.

Later I heard that this woman was very capable and saved Lin Qingfeng's heart, and the two of them lived happily together.

But in this life, Lin Jinglan will not let them live in such harmony and beauty.

After all, after marrying Xu Huai'an in her previous life, she suffered a lot of secret losses from Yang Ruoyao. Every time she was punished by King Zhao and Princess Zhao, this person was indispensable for fueling the situation.

Now that Xu Huaian and Lin Qingxue are married, she will probably find Lin Qingfeng soon.

Otherwise, she would most likely be pointed out by Princess Zhao to Xu Huaian as her concubine.

After saying hello, he ignored the two of them and still took Su Xiaoluo and Qiaoyan to look around.

It's just that Xu Ximeng is determined to bring bad luck to her. No matter what she likes, Xu Ximeng will buy it.

Lin Jinglan was not angry either, and just picked them one by one with a calm look in his eyes.

Xu Ximeng also spent a lot of money unknowingly.

It wasn't until the maid reminded her at the end that she realized that she had already spent 3 taels of silver.

And many of them were on account and went back to Prince Zhao's Mansion to pick them up.

"Why so many?"

Xu Ximeng couldn't believe it. It wasn't much, but then she saw that all the items were extremely valuable. One of them even sold her for 5000 taels.

"Princess Ximeng, do you want to continue shopping?"

Lin Jinglan said with a smile.

But Xu Ximeng's face was ugly. She understood that these tens of thousands taels were not a small amount, and if the mother-in-law knew about it, she would not take it lightly.

And Yang Ruoyao also pulled her sleeves in time to indicate that it was okay.

"We've almost bought everything today. Let's go back first and let Miss Lin take a look at it."

Xu Ximeng was dragged away unwillingly, glaring at Lin Jinglan fiercely before leaving.

She knew that Lin Jinglan had fooled her again today.

Lin Jinglan bought two sets of jewelry that she had been eyeing for a long time and went back with the two girls.

When she just returned to the gate of the Hou Mansion, the housekeeper came up to her worriedly.

"Miss, go and see the madam quickly. The madam knows about the punishment of the second young lady, and she is crying!"
