Chapter 194 She is your stepping stone!
At the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, the Lin family members were mixed with joy and sorrow when they heard the news. Without waiting for Lin Chong's instructions, Lang ordered people to clean up the Handan Courtyard, which was second only to Lin Ru's courtyard in the mansion. All the furniture and furnishings were no worse than those in Lin Ru's house, and looked even better.
"Mom, you're just trying to make her look good!"
Lin Ru was filled with jealousy. The reason why she didn't like Lin Yue in the first place was because Lin Chong took her back home and let her live in the best courtyard, and her living expenses were better than hers!
She had heard that Lin Yue was not the daughter of the Lin family at all, and no one knew where she came from. But Lin Chong didn't know what kind of magic potion that Meng had poured into him, and not only did he take Lin Yue back, but he also treated her as the apple of his eye!
Lang glanced at her with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"Back then, you were young and didn't understand anything. I fought for her and hated her too. Finally, I figured it out. He brought her back, but who in the mansion treated her as the eldest daughter? The title of eldest daughter is empty. The real thing is the tangible things in your hands."
"When Mother was in charge of the backyard, she earned the Marquis's trust. Didn't all those good things end up being yours? Would she dare to say a word in front of the Marquis? Her status is different now! If she's still as easy to manipulate as she was back then, wouldn't her power be yours in the future?"
"Don't you understand this?"
Lin Ru felt a little ashamed after hearing this, and then hugged Lang and started acting coquettishly.
"Mom is still good to me. Dad only knows how to be strict with me! He doesn't care about me at all."
But then she remembered something and frowned.
"But mother, now that father has announced that she is the missing daughter of the Lin family, she will definitely take the title of eldest daughter as soon as she returns. Wouldn't I be a laughing stock then? Humph! I won't accept this!"
Mrs. Lang couldn't help but tap her forehead. "I just broke it open and explained it to you, and you still don't understand? Why are you just staring at this empty thing in front of you?"
Lin Ru's eyes turned red with grievance.
Lang patted her lovingly and consoled her earnestly.
"Okay, mother knows you've never suffered any injustice since you were little, and you've been pampered with fine clothes and delicious food. You always thought this was the past, but now it's back! When you were little, you only knew how to fight for food, clothing, and daily necessities. Now that you're older, you can't fight for things that are useless. Think about it, with your status, marrying a well-matched young man from a noble family is no problem, but if you want to compete with her and don't want to marry worse than her, then you have to rely on her influence. Do you understand?"
Lin Ru was unwilling to give up. With her looks and talent, couldn't she marry someone better than her? She just didn't believe it!
How could Lang not see her thoughts? This daughter, her ambitions were so high! Only after going through some hardships could one understand that some things in the world really cannot be explained by common sense, especially for women. It is not easy to marry a good man from a wealthy family!
"Listen to mom, don't feel wronged. Go back and think carefully about what mom said, adjust your mood, and don't let your dad see it!"
After hearing this, Lin Ru's expression was no longer as aggrieved as before. After all, this matter concerned her lifelong event.
Even the dumbest brain knows how to think about it.
Lang winked at Nanny Lin, who was close to her. Nanny Lin was calm and composed, and was good at reading people's expressions. She immediately persuaded Lin Ru to take her away! Along the way, she did not forget to brainwash her with Lang's words over and over again.
Lin Ru is actually not stupid, but sometimes he tends to get stuck in a rut.
Later, Lin Chong came back and saw that the Handan Courtyard had been decorated very exquisitely, and he was very satisfied.
"Thanks a lot!"
"You and I are husband and wife, so how can we say it's hard? Besides, it was my fault that I didn't take good care of Yue'er back then. Now that she's coming back, I must do my best!"
Lin Chong was about to tell her about this when he thought of Lin Ru. He looked around and didn't see his daughter, so he asked.
"What about Ru'er? She must be feeling bad. You should try to persuade her. After all, Yue'er has been living away from home for several years and has suffered a lot. We should compensate her at least a little. Besides, if she marries the King of Southwest, we can also benefit from it. Ru'er might be able to marry into a good family."
Lang naturally understood what Lin Chong wanted to say. He also knew that he felt guilty towards Ruer, and his thoughts turned for a while.
"As for Ru'er! I don't know where she heard the gossip, saying Yue'er isn't the Marquis's biological child, and that she stole her title of eldest daughter! She's still crying today! It's not that I don't like Yue'er, it's just that she has a little girl mentality and always thinks she's the only daughter of the Marquisate."
Lin Chong's face changed slightly when he heard this. He had never told Lang about Lin Yue's life experience. When he married her, Lin Yue had not been brought back yet. Later, when she was pregnant with Lin Ru, he went to pick Lin Yue up and bring her back home. Although she had made a fuss, he always kept his mouth shut and did not reveal anything.
now……
"Don't overthink it. Regardless of whether Yue'er is my biological child or not, she is now the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. This is a foregone conclusion. You should tell Ru'er not to say anything irresponsible and think about her current status!"
Although his tone was gentle, his words contained a warning. Even though Lang was dissatisfied, she could do nothing because he was unwilling to reveal Lin Yue's life experience.
Although Lin Chong was reluctant to give Lin Yue an official identity before, he still treated her like a young lady in the mansion! But now, everything is about to change as she becomes the Princess of Southwest China!
She is! She must be! She must be! The eldest daughter of the Ningyuan Marquisate!
"I understand! Ru'er wouldn't say anything nonsense. I've already advised her! She knows the importance of this!"
"Father! Mother!"
The eldest son Lin Ping and the second son Lin Qing came to see them together, probably also to discuss Lin Yue's return to Beijing.
"It's just right that you're here! I have something to talk to you about, so let's go! Let's talk in the study!"
The father and his two sons went to the study together.
Lin Ping is now the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion and behaves in a steady manner. Although Lin Qing looks a bit exaggerated, he still behaves very solemnly in front of Lin Chong!
"You all know that your sister is returning to the capital to marry the King of Southwest, right?"
Lin Ping and Lin An actually knew everything. News spread so quickly in the palace! They kept wondering whether it was His Majesty's idea or the letter from the King of the Southwest.
In short, I heard a lot of rumors outside and couldn't sit still, so I came back to confirm with my father.
"Father, didn't you say that my sister can't remember her life experience? I'm afraid that if she can't remember, she probably won't return to live in the Marquis' Mansion."
Lin Ping felt that Lin Yue would not come back. Even if she still had memories, the fact that there had been no news for such a long time meant that she had given up all thoughts about the Marquis' Mansion. Not to mention that if she couldn't remember who she was, would she accept them if they rashly went to claim her as a relative?
