Capítulo 1888: 099. Madam Ming is not coming?
Everyone was talking and laughing, eating and drinking. After filling their stomachs, they reluctantly started to head back to the city after picking up quite a few beautiful pebbles by the lake.
After lunch, Tian Hui often needs a nap, and she was a bit tired from the outing today, so she went back to the city with Xia Zhen ahead of the others.
The remaining people were in no hurry. The n began a competition on horseback to see whose riding skills were better, while the won chatted and laughed from behind the curtains of the carriage, creating quite a lively scene.
Amidst the fun and frolic, by the ti they returned to the capital city, the sun was already leaning towards the west.
Gazing at the red sunset in the open fields, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, feeling delighted. It had been a long ti since she felt this relaxed; days like this were truly comforting.
She had to admit that today’s outing was extrely enjoyable, and Lin Yuan had already decided to co again soday with Lin Jiaxin, Lady Liu, and her siblings when she had the ti.
After playing too hard, once they entered the city, they all bid farewell to each other and went their separate ways ho.
Lin Yuan initially planned to return directly to her mansion, but since the carriage was passing by Dong Tian on the main street, she decided to go in for a quick visit.
As soon as she entered, Shopkeeper Liu greeted her with a smile, asking about today’s outing.
Lin Yuan was puzzled. Shopkeeper Liu was usually not that talkative; he must have sothing to tell today.
Sure enough, when Xia Zheng sat down to drink tea on the side, Shopkeeper Liu took the opportunity to speak the truth to Lin Yuan.
“Miss, right after you left today, Xiao Huan secretly ca over. Upon hearing you weren’t here, she didn’t say much. But from the look of her, it seems there’s sothing urgent.”
Xiao Huan ca?
Lin Yuan instinctively thought of Madam Ming; could it be that Madam Ming was beaten by her husband again? Or, perhaps soone had co to their house demanding silver?
Looking at the sky, Lin Yuan frowned slightly. Since Xiao Huan didn’t want to talk, she probably didn’t want others to know.
Today, Xia Zheng will definitely not leave her, so she decided to wait until tomorrow morning to go to Idle Tea House to check.
Sure enough, Xia Zheng did not leave, he followed Lin Yuan all the way back to Lin Mansion and even stayed for dinner.
During dinner, as expected, Xiao Linshuang asked about today’s outing. When she heard that Lin Yuan made delicious barbecue, her big eyes lit up imdiately. She even stopped eating and ran over to Lin Yuan, pestering her to make barbecue for her.
Lin Yuan helplessly glared at Xia Zheng and indeed saw a mischievous smile on his face, revealing his success.
No wonder this guy was so well-behaved today; turns out he hadn’t had enough of the barbecue and specially ca to use Xiao Linshuang to quench his craving!
This scheming and annoying rascal!
While Lin Yuan was ranting internally, she wholeheartedly promised Xiao Linshuang that she would definitely make barbecue for her.
Even after receiving her elder sister’s promise, Xiao Linshuang wouldn’t settle until she specifically fixed a date and ti for the barbecue.
Having a foodie in the family is really a headache.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but rub her forehead and let out a sigh, suddenly wondering if marrying into the General Mansion later would make things any better.
But as soon as she thought of Lao Fan, the other foodie residing at the General Mansion, her fantasy instantly shattered.
The next morning, Lin Yuan, mindful of Madam Ming’s issue, quickly resolved matters at Dong Tian before taking a carriage to Idle Tea House.
The stories of “Journey to the West” and “Dream of the Red Chamber” had been narrated for almost half a year, but since both stories are quite long, only half had been told so far.
Compared to when the storytelling first began, guests had grown significantly more nurous, and so who joined midway even asked long-ti listeners about earlier plotlines after the session ended, thus boosting the business of Idle Tea House considerably.
With business booming, Madam Ming and the girls at the teahouse naturally beca busier.
When Lin Yuan arrived, Madam Ming was on the third floor socializing with guests.
Lin Yuan steadied her mind and observed her from afar, noticing no visible wounds on her face, she softly sighed in relief.
However, before the sigh fully escaped, her concern rose again.
Madam Ming’s movents while raising her hand seed sowhat stiff.
What’s going on? Could it be, the wounds are not on her face, but on her body?
Previously, Lin Yuan had seen Madam Ming getting hurt, but the injuries were mostly on her face. According to Xiao Huan, Madam Ming’s husband at most would slap her.
But if the injuries this ti are on her body, the situation would be much more serious.
Knowing that asking Madam Ming directly wouldn’t yield any answers, Lin Yuan casually made up a reason to have Shui Xian bring Xiao Huan alone to her.
