C97 Power

She knew that as long as she could gain Grand Lady's trust, she would get the key sooner or later. It seemed that her wish had come true. It was really great. It was not a waste for her to have schemed for so long for today. She even took the initiative to sow discord between Grand Lady and Lin Ruo Xi, forcing the mother and daughter into a dead end.

However, no matter how excited she was, Lin Ruo Yin knew that this was the most important moment. If she made even the slightest mistake, she would lose everything.

Therefore, when she saw Grand Lady take out the key, her expression was one of confusion and curiosity.

"Ancestor Grandmother, what is this?" After all, Lin Ruo Yin in this life should not be able to recognize this thing.

Grand Lady smiled and said, "Ruo Yin, this is a good thing. With it, you will have the authority to be the steward of the Lin Family. I have been keeping it with your aunt for a long time, and now I want it."

"Ah? So powerful?" Lin Ruo Yin expressed her surprise, then said nervously, "Then Ancestor Grandmother, quickly put it away. Otherwise, if it falls, it will be terrible."

Lin Ruo Yin's performance was perfect, so Grand Lady had no doubt about it. Seeing that she was really anxious, Grand Lady nodded in satisfaction and said to Lin Ruo Yin, "This key is indeed good, but it's not me, it's you."

"Me?" Lin Ruo Yin pointed at her own face in disbelief, then she was shocked. She waved her hand, "Ancestor Grandmother, this won't do. Ruo Yin is so muddleheaded. What if I lose it?"

Seeing that she thought that she needed her help to take it, she couldn't help but find it funny. Grand Lady reached out to grab the key and put it into Lin Ruo Yin's hand without saying anything. She said seriously and solemnly, "I didn't ask you to help me hold it. I want you to take care of this family from now on."

When her efforts finally won the result she wanted, Lin Ruo Yin's heart was not as excited as she had imagined. On the contrary, she was at a loss and at a loss.

When her gaze touched the key in her hand, the desire in her heart made her subconsciously touch it with her other hand. However, when she really touched it, it was as if she had been electrocuted, and she immediately put the key on the table.

She was wrong!

She was about to be bewitched by it and fall into the abyss. Luckily, luckily... she was rejoicing in her heart.

"Ancestor Grandmother, Ruo Yin can't take it." Lin Ruo Yin adjusted her attitude. She believed that the key would eventually fall into her hands. She couldn't rush it.

Grand Lady saw the change in Lin Ruo Yin's expression. She knew that no one could stop the magic brought by the key. However, Lin Ruo Yin had grasped it at the last moment. This made her very gratified.

"Ruo Yin, since Ancestor Grandmother is willing to give the key to you, it means that Ancestor Grandmother believes that you have the ability to do so." Grand Lady said with a serious tone as she looked at the key once again, "Do you know how many people are coveting this key?"

Of course, Lin Ruo Yin knew. But she couldn't let others see that she knew, so she asked anxiously, "Ancestor Grandmother, since you said so, why didn't you take it yourself? Why did you have to make things difficult for Ruo Yin?"

After saying all this, Lin Ruo Yin even purposely put on a very aggrieved look, as if someone was really bullying her.

"Complicated?" This was obviously protecting her! Grand Lady thought to herself and looked at Lin Ruo Yin in confusion. She wanted to hear what she was thinking.

Lin Ruo Yin bit her lower lip, her meaning was very clear. She did not dare to say it. Grand Lady naturally saw through it and encouraged her, "If you have something to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you say it wrong."

"Since Ancestor Grandmother wants Ruo Yin to say it, then Ruo Yin will say it." Lin Ruo Yin stopped and sorted out her thoughts before saying, "Ancestor Grandmother, you said it yourself. Many people covet this key. Even if Ancestor Grandmother doesn't want it, there are still aunt, second aunt, and third aunt. Moreover, there are two older sisters above Ruo Yin. How could Ruo Yin be the one to take it? If it is only because of Ancestor Grandmother's love for Ruo Yin, then wouldn't Ruo Yin become the target of public criticism? Moreover, Ruo Yin is young and wild, and she doesn't know how to take care of the family. She definitely can't convince the masses. Tell me, isn't this making things difficult for Ruo Yin?"

After Lin Ruo Yin finished her words, she made her point clear. She believed that Grand Lady would understand what she meant. She was also betting on Grand Lady. She was betting that from the moment Grand Lady entered the house, she had never really wanted to give her the key.

In fact, she was just testing her luck.

In fact, Lin Ruo Yin was right. Grand Lady originally only had this thought. However, she was not sure if her decision was correct. Therefore, she wanted to test Lin Ruo Yin.

On the other hand, Lin Ruo Yin was not only able to guess it, but she also made the right bet. After she finished her words, Grand Lady was even more satisfied with her. In her heart, she decided that no matter what she said, she would hand over the steward's position to Lin Ruo Yin.

"Ruo Yin, how could Ancestor Grandmother not know what you are thinking? But think about it, in such a big scholarly house, if you want to have a foothold, you must have a certain amount of power. The three madams have their own families. If Ruoxi and Ruoyun are protected by them, they will naturally not have any problems. But what about you?" Grand Lady broke the problem apart, crushed it, and placed it in front of Lin Ruo Yin.

"Ruo Yin, don't you still have Ancestor Grandmother?" Lin Ruo Yin asked innocently. However, she was touched by Grand Lady's words. She was truly thinking for her own good, which was why she had planned for her.

Hearing that, Grand Lady laughed and explained helplessly, "If I can really protect you, will I be able to let you do so many things? But if you become the head of this family, it will make them more afraid of you."

"But... but..." Lin Ruo Yin knew that if she continued to push it, it would be a bit unreasonable, so she could only change the topic, "Ruo Yin is worried that if you don't do it well, you will make Ancestor Grandmother lose face."

So this little girl was still worried about this problem? Grand Lady smiled and caressed the back of Lin Ruo Yin's head, saying, "Since Ancestor Grandmother can give you the key, it means that you have the ability. Besides, Ancestor Grandmother will teach you too. Ruo Yin, you don't have to be afraid."

"I am afraid that Ruo Yin will be so stupid that she won't be able to learn." Although Lin Ruo Yin was still rejecting, her words gave Grand Lady hope.

Grand Lady seemed to have lost her patience. She grabbed the key again and placed it in Lin Ruo Yin's hand. She said resolutely, "Ancestor Grandmother has already decided that from now on, the person in charge of the Lin Family will be Ruo Yin!"

"Even if something happens, I still have Ancestor Grandmother to back you up. You don't have to be afraid." Seeing that Lin Ruo Yin was still a little worried, Grand Lady added a calming pill.
