C11 Pretentious

"Let's see how it goes." When the old mistress saw that Lin Ruo Yin had been sent to the shore, she no longer cared about Lin Ruo Xi. She quickly walked to Lin Ruo Yin's side and asked with concern.

After Lin Ruo Yin was rescued, she was treated by a group of people. After she cooperated and spat out a few mouthfuls of water, she slowly woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the old mistress's concerned gaze and her eyes could not help but turn warm.

"Good child, it's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine." Seeing Lin Ruo Yin gritting her teeth and holding back her tears, the old mistress couldn't help but feel her heart ache. She comforted her.

Lin Ruo Yin nodded weakly but did not speak. The smile that had just risen on her face turned into a shiver. When the old mistress saw this, she followed Lin Ruo Yin's gaze and saw that the source was Lin Ruo Xi who had just walked over.

Lin Ruo Xi was also a little embarrassed when she saw this. When the old mistress turned around and looked at Lin Ruo Yin, the resentment in her eyes became even more obvious.

...

"Miss, you just fell into the water. Your body is weak right now. It wouldn't be too late to ask for your blessings with the old mistress and the ladies after a few days." Hong Mei looked at Lin Ruo Yin who had just changed her clothes and was about to leave. A trace of worry flashed across her eyes.

"There's no need to worry. Instead, it is the first day of entering the residence that I didn't go to ask for your blessings. This is a breach of etiquette." Lin Ruo Yin smiled. Although Lin Ruo Yin knew how to swim, she had really "poached" in the cold of winter. Her current expression was indeed very bad.

"Ruo Yin, why are you here? Why don't you take a rest?" The old mistress was discussing with the other wives about today's matter, but she saw Lin Ruo Yin suddenly walk in. She was a little surprised, but seeing Lin Ruo Yin's pale face, her heart ached even more.

"Ancestor Grandmother, Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Ruo Yin just entered the residence today. She should have come to greet you earlier, but she caused such a huge disaster when she just entered the residence. That's why she came to greet you today. I hope you can forgive her." Lin Ruo Yin slightly bowed and spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

When the old mistress heard Lin Ruo Yin's words, she was stunned for a moment. They were still thinking about how to tell her about this matter. After all, this matter could be big or small. The main thing was still Lin Ruo Yin's temperament. She didn't expect Lin Ruo Yin to take the responsibility herself.

"Good child, you have suffered." The old mistress rarely smiled, but at this moment, there was a trace of a smile on her face. When she said these words, the old mistress seemed to have inadvertently glanced at the First Lady. The warning meaning was quite obvious.

The First Lady naturally understood the meaning behind this gaze. Even though she hated Lin Ruo Yin in her heart, she had to do this on the surface.

"Ruo Yin, come here and let Aunt take a look." The First Lady looked at Lin Ruo Yin with eyes filled with disgust, but she still looked like a kind mother on the surface.

"Yes, Aunt." Lin Ruo Yin walked in front of the First Lady and bowed again. Her etiquette was so polite that no one could find any faults with her.

"Ruo Yin is really beautiful. Look at her figure and appearance, plus the new clothes she has changed into. She really looks like the Miss of the scholarly house. If anyone married her, they would be really lucky." The First Lady looked at Lin Ruo Yin and praised her.

Then, she changed the topic, "But we didn't know about your existence all these years, causing you and your mother to be wronged. But now, it's fine. When we return home, we will naturally treat you well. Just treat me as your mother."

Lin Ruo Yin smiled gently, "Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt are Ruo Yin's relatives. Although mother has passed away, she will be happy to see me return to the main house."

After saying that, Lin Ruo Yin lowered her head slightly, but she was mocking her in her heart. The words of praise were better than singing, but they were mocking her that if she didn't change into a new set of clothes, she would always be a country girl. Although she didn't know about her and her mother, if she knew, her mother and daughter's lives would be even more miserable.
