NFBE Chapter 117: Flattery
Chapter 117: Flattery
Lin Ruqin's nerves have been on edge these past few days.
Fearing that Si Yu might harm him, he would carefully inspect anything sent by the madam before using it.
Upon learning of this, Lin Rusi found it somewhat amusing.
"Big sister is really different from others. She feels uncomfortable when others treat her badly, but once they treat this girl well, she starts to doubt everything. She is really a contradiction."
Thinking of this, he didn't want to say anything more to Lin Ruqin.
"Let's go, we don't have anything else to do today, let's go see how Mother's health is recovering."
Si Yu has made great progress in recent days, which Lin Rusi has naturally noticed.
In the past, Si Yu was tending to the flowers.
"Rusi, what brings you here today? Aren't you busy at the shop?"
"Mother, I was just thinking that it's been a while since I last visited. How has your health been recovering these past few days?"
"She's mostly recovered. I've been following your instructions these past few days, and it's actually been quite effective. That girl's been acting strangely every day, but I don't have the same mindset as before."
After saying this, Si Yu also realized that her past actions were indeed somewhat absurd.
Now that she has taken the position of lady, there is absolutely no need to haggle with a mere maid.
"Mother, it seems that this matter has taught you a lot of lessons, which may not be a bad thing for you."
"Yes, it's a pity I understood this too late, poor baby in my belly."
Thinking about this still makes me feel a little regretful.
“It’s good that Mother thinks that way. No matter what, Eldest Sister is the only daughter of the late Madam. Even if she has done something wrong, Father probably won’t blame her. All we can do now is to make Eldest Sister lower her guard, and then we will have a chance to avenge this child.”
Lin Rusi knew that Lin Ruqin was only outwardly gentle, but in reality, she was a ruthless person.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have harmed the baby in her womb.
After thinking about this, I realized I need to be even more careful.
“Yes, no matter what that girl does, your father and parents will always protect her, so we can’t act like before, otherwise one day it will arouse your father’s dissatisfaction, and then where will our mother and daughter have a place in this house?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi inexplicably recalled the tragic circumstances of her and her daughter's past lives, and at this moment, she felt uneasy.
He looked at his mother with a hint of helplessness.
"The eldest sister appears gentle on the surface, but she is actually very cunning. If we want her to pay the price, we need to plan this matter carefully."
As Lin Rusi spoke, she also felt somewhat worried about this matter.
In the past, I would never have noticed, but now that I have memories of my past life, I know that this woman is not easy to deal with.
Otherwise, in my previous life, I wouldn't have been sent to the Third Prince by this woman.
Thinking about this still makes me feel resentful.
"Rusi, you've matured a lot these days compared to before. In the past, every time we went against your older sister, it would always cause trouble, but you've changed a lot these days."
As a mother, she naturally noticed immediately that something was wrong with her daughter.
Lin Rusi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but the truth of the matter must never be known to anyone.
That's why I made up a reason at that time.
"Mother, your daughter will always grow up. I'm not the little child I used to be. I know in my heart who treats me well and who doesn't."
"It's good that you think that way, but no matter what, the child in my belly is innocent. That girl dares to do such a thing now, and she has to pay the price for her actions."
Thinking about this, I also felt a sense of hatred towards this matter.
"But no matter what, we shouldn't push our older sister too far, otherwise this matter won't do us any good."
Having memories of his past life, he knew this woman was not easy to deal with, and looking at his mother at this moment, he felt somewhat worried.
Upon hearing this, Si Yu naturally understood the reasoning behind it.
"Alright, alright, I know all that you're saying. I'll be careful and won't fall into that girl's trap."
After hearing this, I finally understood that my mother had changed a lot.
They won't show their joy as readily as before.
"That's good! In any case, we need to think this through carefully and make sure we don't leave any leverage in that woman's hands."
After hearing this, Si Yu nodded.
On the other side, Lin Ruqin felt something was off when she saw the new clothes that had been delivered, even though the clothes looked perfectly fine.
And they are all styles that I like.
However, I always had some doubts about this matter.
But to everyone's surprise, the old lady next to her was quite satisfied with the matter.
"It seems your mother also wants to get along well with you, which is why she sent these things over. This is a good opportunity for you two to cultivate your relationship and resolve any past grievances. It will be beneficial for both of you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin would never easily believe that this woman would change her personality so quickly.
After all, he had ruined the child in her womb, so he was afraid that everything he had done these past few days was part of a conspiracy.
"Grandmother, I dare not accept it."
"Why is that?" The old lady also felt a little strange after hearing this.
“Grandmother, it was because of me that Mother miscarried. How could Mother forgive me so easily? I dare not accept these things, and I would feel ashamed to accept them.”
Lin Ruqin was naturally very suspicious of this matter and would not easily believe it.
But to everyone's surprise, the old lady didn't think so.
"You're a good girl in every way, but sometimes you tend to overthink things. After all, she's your mother in name only. I think she realized how much she's neglected you through this incident, which is why she's trying to win you over. Why are you keeping her at arm's length?"
The old lady wanted to persuade her, but how could Lin Ruqin possibly listen?
At that moment, he made up an excuse and took the clothes back to his yard.
"Miss, what should we do with these clothes?"
"Put it in the cabinet first. Before that, you guys check it carefully. I want to see what this woman is up to."
If that woman has always been hostile towards you, then there's no need to worry about this.
But now that woman is trying so hard to please him, he feels uneasy, yet he can't say anything about it.
