As soon as the words fell, Lin Ran and Lin Sen looked pitifully at Lin Lao Ye.
Lin Lao Ye said with a stern face: “Wife should not worry about these matters.”
The second wife laughed softly: “Since that’s the case, I’ll listen to my lord.”
I narrowed my eyes, watching her. Everyone in this room has their own thoughts. I shook my head and saw Lin Yan come out, saying with a smile: “Feeling stuffy at home, shall we go out for a walk?”
Lin Yan nodded: “A good restaurant opened in the city center. Let’s go taste the dishes.”
If they’re delicious, we’ll invite the chef over.”
Always thinking about food. But now I’d rather go shopping and see interesting things.
“By the way, it’s quite far. Let’s bring Li Si.”
“Hmm, okay.” I nodded, thinking to myself, isn’t Li Si the “Mansion Strategist”? Does Lin Yan always bring a bodyguard when going out?
We three took the horse carriage to the city center. The mansion strategist drove outside, while I and Lin Yan chatted casually in the carriage. When discussing the second wife’s matters, Lin Yan’s tone slightly changed.
“Oh, Second Mother, she didn’t used to act like this. She was very careful. Although Father entrusted all family matters to Second Mother, she didn’t manage them well.”
Seeing her look of disgust, I became curious: “How was she not good?”
“Too weak. The servants didn’t like her and dared to talk back,” Lin Yan curled her lips. “The second sister wouldn’t usually speak to me like this, but today Second Mother changed her temperament, and she became aggressive too.”
I smiled slightly. It seemed the “crossover person’s” words weren’t entirely accurate. At least the second wife and her daughter didn’t seem as high-status in the Lin family. On the contrary, from Lin Lao Ye’s reaction today, Lin Yan appeared to be the most favored child, and even the Lin family’s only son didn’t seem particularly cherished.
I lifted the curtain and looked outside.
