C41 Invitation

"Miss is here." Lv Yu's eyes were sharp. Lin Ruo Yin had just walked out from the inner room when she saw her.

Lin Ruo Xi also turned her head to look. She saw that Lin Ruo Yin's expression was not very good, and she also looked tired. Her steps were also not very natural. She was even more certain of her guess, so she did not pretend anymore. She stood up and said with a smile, "Looking at your sister's appearance, I'm afraid you must have suffered a lot in the palace."

How could Lin Ruo Yin not understand the meaning behind Lin Ruo Xi's words? No, it should be said that from the moment she knew that she was coming here, she already knew what kind of plan she was planning. After all, in her previous life, she was willing to listen to everything she said. She had also interacted with her the most. It would not be so easy for her to hide her thoughts.

Therefore, she had Lv Yu come to receive Lin Ruo Xi. She knew that Lv Yu was straightforward and did not like to look at people. As long as she showed some sincerity on the surface, she would be able to deceive this little girl. Naturally, she would say some truthful words.

However, no matter what Lv Yu said, the most important thing was that Lin Ruo Xi could not bear to see her doing well. Thus, Lv Yu's words would naturally turn into another explanation when they reached her.

As for changing clothes, she just wanted to make her wait a little longer. After losing her patience, she would be able to control herself. That way, she would not have to go through so much trouble and directly enter the main topic.

"Sister is right. This time, I really suffered a lot in the palace. Now that I think about it, I still feel scared." Lin Ruo Yin looked at Lin Ruo Xi with admiration and said, "If it were me, I would definitely be able to deal with it easily. Unlike me, I have a lot of bad habits."

Lin Ruo Yin was telling the truth. She was indeed full of flaws, but it was all thanks to Lin Ruo Yun that she was able to get what she wanted.

Lin Ruo Xi felt a little fluttered when she heard this. She looked at Lin Ruo Yin and sneered, “That’s right. She doesn’t have any ability, yet she still wants to be a phoenix. Sister, tell me, isn’t this overestimating herself?”

Lin Ruo Yin didn’t say anything in response to Lin Ruo Xi’s provocation. She just smiled quietly. Hong Mei didn’t react either. Only Lv Yu understood that this so-called “good Eldest Miss” was not a good person. She had even told her everything and asked her to help persuade her own Miss.

Why was she so stupid? No wonder Hong Mei and the Miss always laughed at her.

Lv Yu was indignant at the side, but Hong Mei pulled her sleeves, afraid that she would cause trouble again and ruin Miss’s plan. Thus, she said in a low voice, “Miss, you can do whatever you want. Just watch.”

Lv Yu turned around and looked at Hong Mei with curiosity in her eyes. Hong Mei shook her head at her and signaled her to watch Miss. Lv Yu looked up and saw that her Miss was calm and unmoved.

“Big Sister is right. Those who overestimate themselves are the most ridiculous.” After saying that, she gave Hong Mei a look. Hong Mei received the signal and walked out of the door.

When Lin Ruo Xi saw Hong Mei leave, she realized that although Lin Ruo Yin did not refute her words, her expression was a little too calm. She felt a little uneasy. When she met Lin Ruo Yin's smiling eyes, why did she see disgust in her eyes?

Did she hate herself? It seemed that since the day she entered the residence, she had been at odds with her. Otherwise, when she entered the residence, she would have acted like a good sister who cared about her sister. How could she have made such a move?

"Sister, have you seen me before?" Lin Ruo Xi felt a little guilty when she saw Lin Ruo Yin looking at her, so she asked the question in her heart.

Have seen me? Not only have we seen each other, but we also have a great grudge against each other! Lin Ruo Yin thought in her heart, but she smiled at Lin Ruo Xi, "Ruo Yin has lived in the countryside since she was young and has never entered the city. How could I have seen elder sister?"

Lin Ruo Xi thought that she was overthinking. As the Eldest Miss of the Great Hall of the Imperial Family, she had been taught very strictly since she was young. Even when she was studying, she would invite a teacher to come to her house. She had never stepped out of her house. How could Lin Ruo Yin have the chance to see her?

Lin Ruo Yin saw that Lin Ruo Xi seemed to be talking about something far away, so she brought up the topic again. She pretended to be sad and said, "Actually, if elder sister's face is uninjured, and we go to the palace together, elder sister will definitely be able to show off her talent and be appreciated by the Queen. Unlike Second Sister and I, we won't be able to do anything."

“You guys didn’t perform anything? Sister Shui Mo Wu, didn’t you dance very well?” Lin Ruo Xi asked indifferently. When she thought of her performance that night, which shocked everyone, she was actually very unhappy.

Lin Ruo Yin lowered her head shyly and waved at Lin Ruo Xi. When she got closer, she whispered into her ear, “Don’t be afraid of being laughed at, sister. I can dance well at home, but when I go to a big scene, I become timid. How could I dare to go on stage? Even when Second Sister nominated me to go up, she kept encouraging me, but I didn’t dare to move.”

Lin Ruo Xi heard that this was an order. Could it be that she was punished because of this matter? Because she was recuperating, she had been delayed for a few days.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The corner of Lin Ruo Xi’s mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards. Lin Ruo Yin had been secretly observing them all this time. When she felt that the time was right, she pretended to be very tired and said, “Sister, I suddenly feel very tired. My head is still a little dizzy, and I want to go back to my room to rest.”

Lin Ruo Xi just happened to not want to stay any longer, but before she left, she still had something to say. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be happy. Seeing that Lin Ruo Yin had already stood up, she also stood up. Then, she pretended to be affectionate as she pulled her hand and said, “Sister, it’s best if you can see yourself clearly. In the future, when you find your own position in the Lin Residence, you can live a good life. Don’t think about all the things that don’t belong to you. Some things that don’t belong to you will never belong to you.”

After Lin Ruo Yin heard Lin Ruo Xi's words, she lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Sister, you have to remember this. Thank you for your teachings."

"Since you have remembered it, then I will leave now," Lin Ruo Xi said proudly. The moment she turned around, she saw Hong Mei leading a few servants in. The servants were still dragging some cloths in their hands.

It was fine if others did not recognize these cloths, but Lin Ruo Xi had seen them many times. In the past, when her father was rewarded, it was this kind of high-quality silk. She had also received the most, so she could tell with just a glance that it was definitely from the palace.

Hong Mei led the servants to Lin Ruo Yin and bowed. Then, she asked, "Miss, these are the silk that the Queen gave you. You said that you wanted to give it to the ladies in the residence. Today, Eldest Miss just happened to arrive, so I took some of it myself and asked Eldest Miss to choose. The rest have been kept."
