Chapter 56 Suggestions

Lin Yingxue sat alone in the room for a while, and suddenly heard a noise at the door. She turned to look, but Dier poked her head out and sneaked up the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue couldn't help laughing, "Why do you look like a thief in your yard?"

"Miss, you don't know!" Di'er said as she looked outside carefully and then confirmed that there was no one else in the yard. She then walked to Lin Yingxue's side and asked mysteriously: "Miss, guess where did I go just now?"

In fact, when Di'er and Cui'er disappeared together, she had already vaguely guessed in her heart, but when she saw Di'er's pretending to be deep, she couldn't just say it outright, so as not to ruin Di'er's interest.

So she had to suppress her smile, try to pretend to be puzzled and speak, "I can't guess it, Di'er, tell me quickly."

"Okay, since the lady can't guess it, Di'er won't keep it." Seeing that Lin Yingxue really couldn't guess it, a smug look on Di'er's face, "Actually, I'm going to follow Cui'er just now. Miss knows where Cui'er has just gone..."

"Zhong Yunyuan." Lin Yingxue blurted out and realized that she was speechless, but when she wanted to explain again, it was too late.

She raised her head embarrassedly and looked at Di'er. Sure enough, she saw Di'er curling her lips and looking at her with a resentful look on her face, "Miss, you have guessed it long ago, right? I thought it was rare for the lady to be confused!"

Lin Yingxue knew that she could not disguise herself anymore, so she had to smile embarrassedly and said, "It was also what I guessed just now..."

"What did Cui'er say to the second wife?" Lin Yingxue hurriedly changed the subject.

"I don't know." Di'er's mood became depressed again, "I didn't dare to walk in when I arrived at the door of Zhongyunyuan, but because the second master came back later, Cui'er soon came out of the second wife's room..."

‘Dongdongdongdongdong’, the two of them were talking when a knock came from outside the door. Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head and look at the door, "Who?" she asked cautiously.

"Miss, I'm a servant." Liu'er's voice came from outside the door.

Liu'er has never taken the initiative to appear in front of her. Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head and look at Di'er, but the two of them had the same doubts on their faces.

"Come in." But in a flash, Lin Yingxue calmed down her emotions and looked at the outsider as usual.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu'er quickly walked in from outside the door with a bamboo basket.

After she had seen the gift, she spoke: "Miss, the third prince has sent someone to send cherries and some fresh fruits to the lady."

The climate of the imperial city is not suitable for planting cherries. Most of the cherries are transported from other places, and very few are well preserved. Many businesses are unwilling to do such losses, so except for the royal family and high-ranking officials, it is not easy for ordinary people to eat this kind of thing.

It is hard for Murong Junxin to be so meticulous that she can remember to give her some. However, since Murong Jun can give her, Murong Xun and Prince Jing will definitely not fall behind the Lin family, which will save her from the embarrassing situation.

Lin Yingxue walked down to look at the fresh and green fruits, and was about to ask Di'er to wash them and then divide them down, but turned around and saw Liu'er standing still in place, as if she was not going to retreat.

"Is there anything else?" she asked in confusion.

"Miss, I'm fine." Liu'er always looks like she is not smiling. She has been here in Biluoxuan for so long, and she hasn't even seen this maid laugh before.

"Hmm?" Nothing big, so there is still something to say? Lin Yingxue stopped his hand and turned his head to look at Liu'er steadily.

Liu'er lowered her head and said in an emotional tone: "The second master quarreled with the second wife today. He must not be in a good mood at this time, but the third lady has always been favored by the second wife and will definitely not understand the master's mood. As for the sixth master now studying in the academy, he can't take care of his family's affairs... After careful calculation, now the only lady in the second room can comfort the master."

Liu'er's words were a bit puzzled, but Lin Yingxue immediately understood what Liu'er meant.

——She is a concubine daughter and has no status in the Lin family. If she wants to stand in the Lin family, she will inevitably please her father. Only Lin Zhengjie's joy and favor are the basis for her to gain a foothold in the Lin family and to fight against several other ladies.

A little maid could see the situation of the Lin family so thoroughly, and she just mentioned her to seize the opportunity... Lin Yingxue thought, and her eyes looked at Liu'er became sharper, but Liu'er still had the expression of neither joy nor anger.

It looked like the one standing in front of her at this moment was just an emotional puppet. No matter whether she liked or disliked, the person in front of her would not give her any response.

"I have finished speaking, I will leave." Just as the atmosphere gradually became subtle, Liu'er quietly retreated.

Lin Yingxue looked at the figure slowly disappearing in front of her, looked at the basket of fruits on the table, pondered for a while, then turned to Dier and ordered: "Go and prepare a cup, ice cubes and fresh milk."

"Ah? Yes." Di'er didn't know why her lady suddenly wanted these things. After being stunned, she responded to it and quickly arranged it.

The summer afternoon is the hottest time. When I woke up after a nap, I was lazy and couldn't lift myself up.

Lin Zhengjie pushed open the study door and walked in. A chill came to his face, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

After the quarrel with Song in the morning, the anger was still accumulated in his heart. He sat down in front of the desk with some annoyance. At first glance, he saw a small porcelain cup on the desk. Because it was covered with a lid, he couldn't see what was inside, but a little cold air floated out of the gap in the bowl cover.

Lin Zhengjie curiously uncovered the porcelain lid and saw that there were various fruits cut into small pieces in the porcelain cup. Not only were there ice cubes, but there was also a layer of fresh goat milk on it, red, green and green, looking extremely delicious.

Lin Zhengjie's index finger was shaking for a moment, and he quickly tasted a piece. After one bite, he felt refreshed. The coolness spreads along the bottom of his heart. The strange combination of fresh milk and fruit actually had a different taste.

Lin Zhengjie nodded with satisfaction and soon swallowed the remaining fruits in the porcelain cup into his stomach.

After eating this cup of ice, Lin Zhengjie felt much more refreshed in his heart.

For two days, after each nap, there would always be a cup of ice that would cool down the heat on the table in the study. On the fourth day, the ice on the table suddenly changed to a few small snacks. Those plates of snacks didn't look like the kitchen craftsmanship, but they were also crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy.
