Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 22

Lin Yuting's reaction was not beyond Lin Yuchan's expectations. She trotted all the way back to the Orchid Courtyard, lay down on the bed and burst into tears.

The maid who stayed behind was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly asked the maids who followed to pay her respects to find out what was going on.In case something happened to Lin Yuting, Lu would have to take their skins off? !
But before they could open their mouths, the people who went there dumped everything like beans in a bamboo tube.The remaining maids gasped when they heard the words, and hurried out of the house, each finding a corner to hide.They secretly decided that they would never go in unless someone was called inside. They didn't want to be Lin Yuting's punching bag.

After all, Lu Shi is old, not younger than Lin Yuting, and he has been pampered for many years. After running a few steps, he couldn't help panting. Lin Yuting cried for a long time, and Lu Shi was late.

When I went back to the Orchid Courtyard, I found that the maids were all outside, and Lu Shi didn't think much about it, thinking that it was Lin Yuting who drove them out!After all, Lin Yuting didn't do this kind of thing less usually, let alone such a shameful thing happened today?Besides, the conversation between her and Lin Yuting later was not suitable for others to hear, so she didn't care about it, and instead let the people behind her stay outside.

As soon as these words came out, the maids behind Lu Shi quietly let out a sigh of relief.It really takes a lot of courage to go in and serve at such a time!They are timid, forget it!
Lu walked into the East Wing where Lin Yuting lived alone, and just after closing the door, she heard Lin Yuting's suppressed crying.When I went to the inner room and looked, I found Lin Yuting sitting on the edge of the bed, her head buried in the quilt, her body was shaking, no wonder the crying was intermittent.

When Lu Shi saw this, his heart really hurt like a needle prick.When has her daughter been wronged like this? !
"Get out!" Lin Yuting seemed to hear the movement behind her, and said angrily without raising her head.

Lu Shi sighed, stepped forward and patted Lin Yuting on the back, "It's mother!"

When Lin Yuting heard Lu Shi's voice, she stopped crying for a while, turned her head to take a look, and then threw herself into Lu Shi's arms, crying bitterly.While crying, he choked up and said, "Mother...I...Father, he actually..."

Lin Yuting had just gone through all this trouble, her makeup was already worn out, her hair was messed up, her eyes were red, her cheeks were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tears. She looked very pitiful.

Seeing her daughter's distressed look, Lu couldn't hold back her tears, "My poor daughter, you have grown up to such an age, where have you ever been beaten? How could your father let him go?! Blame me, a mother, for being incapable of protecting you!"

Lin Yuting shook her head fiercely in Lu Shi's arms, but she couldn't say a word.

The mother and daughter cried for a long time, and then gradually stopped crying.

"Mother, I don't agree!" Lin Yuting said hoarsely, "Then Lin Yuhui is just a concubine, why should he ride on the head of my concubine?! Why should I put up with him?!"

"It's good that he's a bastard, but who made him your father's only son?!" Lu Shi said with a sigh.

Lin Yuting was silent for a while, and then asked with some reluctance, "Is the difference between son and daughter really that big?"

"You are still young, you may not understand it, but you will know it after you get married. A family, especially a family like the Dingguo Mansion, attaches great importance to the inheritance of blood, no matter what, they want to I want a son." Lu helped Lin Yuting wipe away her tears, and said, "Mom couldn't figure it out before, but after a long time, she figured it out!"

"Could it be that they are so cheap?" Although Lin Yuting understands the truth, the reluctance in her heart cannot be deceived.

"Why don't you understand?" Mrs. Lu patted Lin Yuting on the back, and said almost with a sigh, "Your enemy has never been Lin Yuhui. If you fight against him, you will only suffer! Okay, but no matter how bad Lin Yuhui is, just relying on him being a boy, this is enough to ensure his invincibility."

Lin Yuting gritted her teeth when she heard the words, no matter how unhappy she was, she still had to admit that Lu Shi was right.

Seeing that Lin Yuting had listened, Lu continued, "Mother, I have understood for a long time that a boy is needed in Dingguo's mansion. Without Lin Yuyang, there will be Lin Yuzhao. Without Lin Yuzhao, there will be more in the future." Lin Yuhui, Lin Yuhui is gone, there must be someone else! Anyway, mother can't give birth now, and this Dingguo mansion will not fall into the hands of your brothers. As long as you can take good care of it, who will get the advantage in the end, mother I don't care anymore!"

"Mother..." Lin Yuting looked at her mother's dejected look and moved her lips, wanting to comfort Lu Shi, but she didn't know what to say.

Lu Shi came back to his senses, and smiled in a concealed manner, "Okay! Mother doesn't need you to comfort her yet. It is the greatest comfort to mother that you can take care of her."

Lin Yuting nodded heavily.

"You don't have to worry about Lin Yuhui's affairs! Whether it's your father or..." When Mrs. Xin was mentioned, Lu couldn't hold back, gritted his teeth, and continued, "Neither of them will stand by your side! Besides, when you get married in the future, you will need a brother from your natal family to support you. If your natal family has no successors, you will have no confidence in your husband's family."

Lin Yuting nodded with an ugly face, "Mother, I understand."

"Your opponents are those concubine girls!" Lu raised her hand to stop Lin Yuting, who wanted to refute, and then said, "I know you have never taken those people seriously. But in fact, they are the ones who really know how to fight." People who rob you of resources! The Dingguo Mansion only has so many family properties, the big boss must be reserved for Lin Yuhui, and the remaining [-]% ​​can be used as dowry for you girls' families, which is considered good! [-]% Do you want to own the family property alone? Or do you want to share it with others?"

Lin Yuting has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and has never worried about money. At this moment, when she suddenly heard her mother talking about those yellow and white things, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart. She always felt that these things were too tacky!Thinking of this in her heart, Lin Yuting couldn't help showing something on her face.

It is said that knowing a son is better than a father!In fact, the same is true for changing mothers.

Lu raised Lin Yuting single-handedly, how could he fail to see what his daughter was thinking at the moment, and asked himself again in his heart, did he protect her daughter too well?That's why she developed such a simple temperament!

"Mother, don't you think it's vulgar to talk about these yellow and white things!" Lu Shiyu said earnestly, "When you really encounter difficulties, you should know how important these things are!"

Lin Yuting still felt awkward in her heart, "But mother, my daughter is the daughter of Dingguo's mansion! Lin Yuhui is a boy, so it's just that the daughter can't compare with him. Could it be that those concubine daughters can still compete with their daughter?"

"Of course not!" Lu said.

"Since it can't, why..." Lin Yuting really didn't understand this time.

"Silly boy! Your heart is too sincere." Lu Shi shook his head and sighed, "You don't even think about it. In Dingguo Mansion, except for the one in Lu Shi's stomach who doesn't know whether it's male or female, With you, there are six girls in total. Even if your father valued you more, it would be considered amazing if your father could give you half of the family property! But what if there is no one else? Think again! This Once back and forth, how much is the difference?"

Lin Yuting's eyes gradually changed.Although Lin Yuting still had some loftiness in her heart at this time, whoever knew that things that should have belonged to her were divided away because of some people who she didn't even care about? Accept it with a smile? !
Not to mention someone as possessive as Lin Yuting, it's even more impossible to let it go!
"Mother, I understand what you mean." Lin Yuting clenched her fists fiercely and said.

Seeing this, Lu smiled with satisfaction, "Now that you understand what I mean, you should know what to do, right?"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Yuting's eyes, "Mother thinks, who is more appropriate to start with?"

"What about your own thoughts?" Lu asked without answering.The reason why she aroused her daughter's fighting spirit was to let her be self-reliant, instead of relying on herself for everything!

Lin Yuting pondered for a moment before saying, "Lin Yuxian, Lin Yuchan, Lin Yujuan, Lin Yuwan, Lin Yushan, and the one in Wu's belly," Lin Yuting read the names one by one, and then analyzed one by one, "Lin Yuxian is not in good health. , and not favored, but there is no guarantee that her father will not subsidize her because of her physical condition in the future. Moreover, she is the closest to her daughter in age, which is most likely to affect her daughter's interests."

Lin Yuting stopped here, looked at her mother's face, and saw Lu's eyes of admiration, she was slightly relieved, and continued, "Although Lin Yuchan and Lin Yuwan are still young, their biological mother Yang If you are favored, you will definitely fight for their interests! Moreover, the two are sisters, and they can watch and help each other in the future."

The sisters in Lin Yuting's mouth naturally refer to the mother's relationship.If from the father's point of view, everyone is Lin Chengmao's daughter and sister, what else is there to say? !
"These two people are also a threat! But because of their age, they can't hinder my daughter for the time being." After talking about these people, Lin Yuting recalled the situation in the backyard that Lu analyzed for herself that day, and began to comment on others, " Lin Yujuan and Lin Yushan are both descendants of lowly concubines, but their circumstances are different!"

"Lin Yujuan's biological mother Jiang is Li's dowry, and Li has her own daughter, so naturally she is not very enthusiastic about Lin Yujuan!"

"And Lin Yushan's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, is Chen's dowry, and Mrs. Chen has nothing under her knees. Although she hasn't expressed her opinion yet, there is no guarantee that she will bring Lin Yushan by her side in the future."

"As for the one in Mrs. Wu's stomach, I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. My daughter should treat her as a girl for now! Mrs. Wu was originally attached to Mrs. Yang, but now I have offended her backer. According to Yang's temperament, I'm afraid she won't shelter her anymore, so she can be said to be alone in the backyard. Whether this child can be born or not is another matter!"

"Mother, am I right?" Lin Yuting asked Lu Shi for advice after finishing her analysis.
