C17 That Person from the past

Lin Ruo Yin could not say that she was disappointed, but she felt that this man's face should not be like this. This kind of dissonance made Lin Ruo Yin want to see if this man was wearing a mask.

"I don't have a name, but everyone calls me Xiao Bei. I came to the Scholars' Mansion with the old cook since I was young," Bei Ling Feng looked at the woman in front of him and said seriously. Lin Ruo Yin could not find any fault with his words.

No one would really send a spy to lurk around from a young age. Not to mention whether it would be discovered or not, but it was a lack of long-term training. The possibility of a spy betraying was extremely high, and it was not good for control.

"You can go back. I still have to go to the kitchen again." Lin Ruo Yin saw that she could not get anything out of him, so she did not say anything more. She was a little annoyed that she was impulsive. In this way, it would be even more difficult for her to steal food.

"You are Third Miss, right? If you are going to get food, I can send it over to you." The man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up when she was about to leave, but it successfully shocked Lin Ruo Yin.

"How do you know that I am Third Miss?" Lin Ruo Yin was not surprised. There were probably a few people in the mansion who could say who she was.

But how did he know?

"Yesterday, Third Wife gave the order to forbid dinner for Third Miss. Miss happened to appear," Xiao Bei explained in a low voice. Lin Ruo Yin understood what he meant.

"That's good. If Third Wife wants to cut off my food, you have to send me food. I'll wait for you here." Lin Ruo Yin did not refuse. Although this butler looked ordinary, she did not hate him.

Moreover, she also wanted to know what secrets he had.

"Yes, Miss." Xiao Bei bowed and said humbly. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at Lin Ruo Yin.

After Lin Ruo Yin finished her meal, she packed some food and returned to her own courtyard. Just as she reached the door, she heard the excited voices of two maidservants.

"I heard that the Third Prince is coming to the mansion tomorrow. Last time, when he came to propose marriage, there were other maidservants who saw the Third Prince's true appearance. They were showing off every day. I wonder if we can see him this time."

"Is the Third Prince really so handsome? Then why is Eldest Miss not willing to marry him?"

"Because the Third Prince doesn't have any power. Eldest Miss is the one who wants to be the Queen. How can she casually marry a prince who doesn't have any power?"

"That is why Third Miss came back. After all, Second Miss has an engagement..."

"Third... Third Miss, why are you here?" The two maidservants were chatting happily, but when they saw Lin Ruo Yin, they stopped abruptly, and their faces revealed a look of fear.

Seeing the two maidservants' frightened expressions, Lin Ruo Yin smiled, "This is my courtyard. Why can't I come here?"

Only then did the two maids react. They turned around and saw that it was indeed Lin Ruo Yin's courtyard. Because there were only three people living there, Lin Ruo Yin did not light up the lanterns. The two maids were chatting happily, so they did not notice where they were.

"Third Miss, this servant knows that I was wrong." The two maids hurriedly knelt down. They did not know how much Lin Ruo Yin had heard, but they were afraid that she would get angry and kick them out.

The two maids were chased out of the residence.

"I also want to know why I returned to the residence. Can you tell me?" Lin Ruo Yin looked at the two maids and smiled gently. However, when the two maids saw this smile, their hairs stood on end and they were even more terrified. Sweat even flowed out from their palms.

"Go, go back to Third Miss … We don't know either. We were just guessing …" The two of them knew that Lin Ruo Yin had heard a lot, but if the old master knew that they were the ones who told Lin Ruo Yin the truth, they would probably be even more miserable.

"Forget it, you guys go back first. Tell your master that I won't participate in the fight between her and the First Lady, but if she gives you the news, please thank me." After Lin Ruo Yin heard their words, she said indifferently.

Only then did the two maids turn ashen. They looked at Lin Ruo Yin in fear. How did she know?

Lin Ruo Yin looked at the two maids' disbelieving expressions and sneered in her heart. This Third Wife only came out because she was under the protection of the Old Madam and wanted to rope her in.

Moreover, even if she couldn't win over Lin Ruo Yin, she could still make First Lady and Lin Ruo Yin fight. This way, she could also benefit from the fight. What a good plan.

After sending away the two maids, Lin Ruo Yin suddenly remembered that according to the current date, Nan Gong Jin should have already come to propose marriage for half a month. Tomorrow would be the day he came to discuss the marriage with Lin Fu Cheng. This was also the reason why Lin Fu Cheng had rushed to pick her up at this time.

Nan Gong Jin, Lin Ruo Yin muttered this name in her heart. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, but her heart was cold. She even began to like this feeling of being in the light and being in the dark. She began to look forward to their first meeting.
