  "How did you come to care about Prince Ze Wang?" Madame He ordered the maid to serve tea and withdraw, then looked around cautiously before asking in a low voice. Although she was not very pleasant to look at, she was cautious by nature. "Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to ask Duke Yin about this matter?"

  For Kobayashi, she has always been good at pulling people in, it's just that in recent years her own man has also stood up, so she has become slightly tougher.

  "Alas." Mrs. Kobayashi sighed, how could she not know to ask Yin Haicheng for convenience, but this matter Yin Haicheng didn't tell her, making her feel uncomfortable in her heart.

  Is it because of what happened before and you're still mad at her? This isn't a good sign.

  Xiaolin thought of this and poured out her mind, asking He to give her some advice. Although He had become less respectful towards Xiaolin over the past two years due to her husband's promotion, she was still a close relative, being Xiaolin's sister-in-law from the same mother, and was someone Xiaolin needed at critical moments.

  He heard that and burst out laughing, his originally thin face looking even more unpleasant. "Sister, you're being soft-hearted now."

  "What does it mean?" Mr. Kobayashi's face didn't look very good.

  "Have you forgotten about Big Aunt?" He's family used a handkerchief to cover her bright red lips, and there was something strange about the expression on her face.

  "What do you mean?" Little Lin's face turned pale, and she made a move to get up.

  "Sister, don't be in a hurry." Mrs. He hastily pulled her back, "Sister-in-law didn't mean anything else."

  No matter what, He was still not dare to offend Lin. Not to mention that Lin and her brother had a good relationship, even if you don't consider this layer, Lin's whispering in the ear of the Marquis of Yin is not something to be taken lightly, and when the time comes, it will still be their own man who suffers.

  "What do you mean?" Xiao Lin's face still didn't look good.

  "Look, you've misunderstood my sister-in-law, haven't you?" He Shi hastily apologized with a smile, secretly scolding herself for making trouble out of nothing. However, seeing Xiao Lin Shi's reaction, He Shi was also certain in her heart that the death of the eldest lady was indeed related to Xiao Lin Shi.

  But this matter did not harm her, with the presence of Mrs. Lin in a day, the eldest son and the old lady had someone to rely on. Now that Mrs. Lin is gone, the eldest son of the Lin family is idle at home, isn't it a good opportunity for her husband to take charge?

  "In my opinion, if your sister doesn't like that old thing, why not... let her illness take care of the household matters." He Shizi made a hand gesture.

  "Th...". Kobayashi-san suddenly became restless.

  The old lady is not like anyone else, she is Yin Haicheng's own mother, and Yin Haicheng is a truly filial son. If something were to happen, not only would she be in trouble, but her son and brothers would also be in for it.

  Kobayashi had been nursing a grudge against the old lady, but she hadn't thought of taking action, so Hoshi's words made her jump out of her skin.

  "Sister is confused, and sister-in-law didn't ask you to stab her with a knife?" He Shi burst out laughing, "The means in this back house are numerous."

  Kobayashi's eyes rolled, knowing that the He family must have a way out. It has always been this way, the He family is also a noble lady, and the more those nobles are, the more they are unscrupulous, and the back house is so cunning that it makes people defend themselves in all directions.

  Although Zhenjiang Marquis was also a founding meritorious general passed down through generations, the family of military generals is indeed simpler than those literati. Moreover, in recent years, the Zhenjiang Marquis' estate had been quite declining, and it was difficult for the whole family to make a living, so there were fewer private matters.

  "This is a bit of trouble, but I'll have to bother you with it." Xiao Lin hastily grabbed He's hand. "I just happened to pass by the First Building and went in for a stroll. They've just released some new styles, so I ordered a set for you too. Please don't think I'm being too nosy."

  "Sister, where did you get this? I've never seen such a beautiful piece of jewelry before. You're really going all out for me this time!" He Shi was overjoyed and didn't even try to decline the gift.

  Although she is the eldest daughter-in-law of Huajie's mother, in this Lin Mansion, there are still Old Madam and the wife of Lin family's eldest son above her, so it's not her turn to be in charge. But Xiaolin Shi was different, she had been in charge of Zhenjiang Hou Mansion for many years, and even a little bit of power in her hands was stronger than hers.

  He was also a concubine, and in his mother's house, he wasn't the favored one. The dowry was not rich to begin with. If it weren't for the high status of the family, Old Master Lin wouldn't have thought of paving the way for his son, and this marriage would not have been possible. Now they just think about how to gain something from Little Lin's side.

  The two women chatted for a while longer, and Madame He patted her chest to guarantee that she would definitely help her get the things. Then, she turned the topic back to Yin Ruofei's head.

  "This kid is getting more and more annoying, Old Lady Lin protects him like he's her own, even the Marquis has taken notice of him, and because of that, she scolded me. As soon as Xiaolin thought of this, she felt hatred in her heart. 'Hmph, just wait until the old thing gets sick, see how I'll deal with him!'"

  "Sister, you're thinking wildly." He's covering his mouth and laughing, with something flickering in his eyes. "That eldest son is getting bigger every day, even if the old lady were gone, he's already caught the eye of Duke Yin, how could you possibly move him?"

  "Does sister-in-law mean... get rid of him?" Xiao Lin's eyes lit up.

  "No, no, I didn't mean it that way..." Mr. He hurriedly waved his hand, his face turning pale with fright.

  Although she gave advice to Mrs. Kobayashi to poison the old lady and make her sick, and even volunteered to go get medicine, in fact, she had other plans in mind, no more than cheating Mrs. Kobayashi out of some silver coins. However, plotting to harm someone's life is not a trivial matter; if one day things fall apart, let alone Mrs. Kobayashi herself being unable to escape, she would also be implicated.

  "Sister, you should think about the long-term plan." He looked at Xiaolin with an expression that didn't seem right and advised her a few more times. However, although Xiaolin's mouth responded with a smile, this idea had already taken root in her heart.

  He had long regarded Yin Ruofei as a thorn in his eye and a pain in the flesh, and now this little brat had the old lady backing him up and was also favored by Yin Haicheng. If he let him continue like this, he would surely block Yuan'er's path.

  Rather than that, it's better to make a clean break and be done with it; otherwise, when he grows up and becomes aware of things, she won't have any good fortune left!

  The two sisters-in-law both had their own worries, and this conversation was also somewhat disconnected. As it approached noon, Madame He hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the meal. However, Xiao Lin simply didn't have the mood to eat, so she stood up and decided to return home.

  A servant girl came in to report that the second master had returned, and both the aunt and sister-in-law were delighted.

  He was delighted that her husband had returned early, and with him around, the atmosphere would be more relaxed. As for Kobayashi, she wanted to come up with a good idea, which happened to be on her brother's head.

  Lin Jia Lao Er, Lin Zhenzong and Xiao Lin Shi are milk siblings, and their relationship is very good. In his official career, Xiao Lin Shi often spoke highly of him to Yin Haicheng, and with the support of both the Lin family and Yin Haicheng, Lin Jia Lao Er was able to achieve what he has today.

  The brother and sister have been on the same boat for a long time, and their feelings have become more harmonious over the years.

  Three people finished dinner, and Xiao Lin followed her brother to the study room, whispering something. He's heart was filled with doubts, afraid that her husband would get involved, she wanted to go in several times, but Lin Zhenzong's study had always been off-limits to her, He was extremely anxious, yet unable to do anything about it.

  Finally seeing Xiao Lin leave the study door, but the smile on Xiao Lin's face made He more uneasy. After sending away Xiao Lin, he rushed back to the house and pondered the ambiguous inquiry of Lin Zhenzong.

  Lin Zhenzong's eyes widened, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is my sister that kind of person? Alright, alright, I still have things to do. You should also supervise Min'er to study at home. Look at Yuan'er and Tang'er, and then look at Min'er, how does she compare? My sister is usually a good wife and mother, which one of you is like her? If I hear you speaking ill of my sister again, be careful or I'll divorce you."

  "He... " Mrs. He was choked with rage, secretly harboring resentment towards this little Lin lady, who truly wasn't a good person. Although Lin Zhenzong had never been particularly fond of her, they generally got along. However, every time Little Lin left, Lin Zhenzong would make faces behind her back, and over time, it became obvious to everyone.

  He knew that Mrs. Kobayashi didn't want to see her, but over the years, her family had gradually declined, while Lin Zhenzong had risen rapidly. As a result, they couldn't get along anymore and could only tolerate each other. Now that Mrs. Kobayashi was seeking help from her, she actually dared to do such a thing, which really made He furious, thinking that she should teach her a lesson, as if she were already the noble lady of the Hou Mansion!

  Kobayashi's trip resolved his own concerns, and he was in a great mood. When passing by the Xindi Building, he ordered someone to stop the car, went inside, and beautifully selected several pieces of jewelry and embroidered flowers. He also ordered two sets of fashionable hair accessories before returning home.

  Kobayashi's only daughter, the sixth young lady of the Marquis' manor, Rui Xin, saw the jewelry box brought in by the maids and immediately lit up.

  "Mother, are all of these for me?" Rui Xin was overjoyed and opened the box to see the new flower-shaped accessories that she loved. Another box contained high-quality silk flowers in goose yellow and pink colors, each with a soft and vibrant hue.

  Rui Xin looked at which one everyone liked, and couldn't help but pull on Xiao Lin's sleeve to act coquettishly.

  Kobayashi had only one daughter, and he couldn't help but dote on her. He immediately gave her more than half of the crepe flowers and also picked out a few pieces of jewelry that were suitable for a little girl to wear.

  "Mother, aren't you giving me these?" Rui Xin looked at what was in her arms and then at the ones on the table, truly reluctant to part with them.

  "Good, that's for your sister Hui'er." Xiaolin was busy trying on the new hairpin she had just bought and didn't notice Ruiying's face sinking down.

  "My sister doesn't like her, why should I buy it for her!" Rui Xin looked at the few things in her hand and felt that they were not as good as the ones on the table. She immediately threw the jewelry on the table to the ground, "If I can't have it, she won't get it either!"

  "You're going to turn the world upside down?" Little Lin was startled by the sound of the box being swept to the ground, and suddenly became furious. "If you don't want it, then no one will have it!"

  "Daughter doesn't like Xiang'er anymore, Xiang'er will go tell Father!" Rui Xiang was scolded by Xiao Lin Shi and immediately burst into tears, stumbling out in a hurry.

  "This girl, who is she following?" Mrs. Lin shook her head, "Cai Xiu, hurry up and catch up with the young lady!"

  Li Yuan and her mother had a disagreement, while Jin Yuan and his brother Ruo Fei in Songyuan were getting more and more tacit.
