Chapter 517: Chapter 517 eting Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law for the First Ti (1)_1 Chapter 517: Chapter 517 eting Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law for the First Ti (1)_1 Princess Anle followed Lao Fan’s gaze to Xiao Linshuang and started to sketch a rough outline of her sister’s image in her heart.
The girl’s appearance was quite delicate, especially her eyes, which were lively, constantly rolling around, and full of spirit.
Most importantly, her eyes brimd with innocence, cuteness, and kindness, suggesting her character might not be bad either.
Princess Anle nodded inwardly, but her face betrayed no sign.
After all, Xiao Linshuang was only five years old, while her sister was older and had more experience, so whether she could retain such sincerity and kindness remained to be seen.
Just as she was about to ask sothing else, Princess Anle heard the door of the elegant room creak.
After Shopkeeper Liu relayed the matter of Princess Anle and Lao Fan to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan pondered over it and decided to co and see for herself.
The Madam had previously said she wanted to et the boss, and she couldn’t pretend to be unaware of it.
Besides, the Madam knew Lao Fan, so it was only polite for her as the younger generation to co and greet them.
Lao Fan’s eyes darted around: “Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
This brat sure moves fast.”
Princess Anle was all too familiar with such expressions from Lao Fan.
The more he liked soone, the more disdainful he would act, even calling them “stinky boy” or “stinky girl” outright.
If he genuinely disliked soone, he wouldn’t even bother to give them the ti of day.
Seeing Lao Fan’s fondness for the girl, Princess Anle also beca interested and gave Qiu Ju a nod.
Qiu Ju complied with a sound and moved forward to open the door.
As the door swung open, there stood a twelve- or thirteen-year-old maiden, dressed in an extrely simple water-blue dress, with only the simplest silver hairpin on her head.
Despite the plain hair ornant, her hairstyle was quite innovative, so much so that even Princess Anle, who had spent many years in the Capital city and seen countless trendy hairstyles, had never seen anything like it.
The high twin buns showed that the girl was not yet of marriageable age while the little braids trailing behind added a playful and cute touch.
The few strands of loose hair by her temples gave her an air of understated elegance.
Princess Anle sized up the maiden lightly.
As she had conjectured from seeing Xiao Linshuang, the girl had eyes that, in addition to being pure and sincere, also revealed thoughtfulness and deliberation.
Good-natured yet not weak-willed, Princess Anle took to the child from the very first glance.
The mont the door opened, Lin Yuan felt three gazes upon her—two curious ones from the maid who had opened the door and the younger woman standing there.
Lin Yuan smiled gently at them, deducing from their clothes and accessories that one was likely a maid.
Another gaze ca from the woman seated beside Lao Fan.
This woman appeared to be in her thirties at most, yet the wisdom in her eyes was unmistakable.
“Big sister!” Xiao Linshuang exclaid with delight, and like a soft and sticky bun, she threw herself into Lin Yuan’s arms.
Lin Yuan tapped her forehead with a smile, “You just ca out of your sister’s room; do you miss her already after such a short while?”
Xiao Linshuang rubbed her little head against her embrace and said with a giggly smile, “Yes, I miss her terribly, terribly so.
Later, I’m going to be big sister’s little shadow; wherever you go, I’ll follow.”
Lin Yuan chuckled, knowing their guests were present and without further ado, she took Xiao Linshuang’s hand and walked into the room, smiling beamingly.
Before she could speak, Lao Fan had already picked up Xiao Linshuang by the scruff of the neck, spun around, and flung her onto the chair beside them, huffing, “You little wolf cub, aren’t you my apprentice?
Why be your big sister’s shadow every day?
So disgraceful!”
