C99 Announce

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Second Wife to lose her patience. She had already nursed a grudge against the First Lady. Furthermore, her family's influence was not much weaker than the First Lady's. Naturally, she didn't need to be afraid of her.

"I heard that Big Sis returned the steward's position to the Grand Lady?" The Second Wife walked in front of the First Lady with small steps and sneered. She waved her hand and said, "Look at me, I'm not wrong. I'm afraid that the Grand Lady has personally taken back the steward's position. How could Big Sis give it back?"

Back then, she had done everything she could to get the steward's position. Although the Second Wife didn't like to fight for power and profit, she couldn't stand the First Lady. Therefore, she had also fought with her.

If they had fought openly, she would have lost. However, the First Lady had been secretly making small moves, so how could she be convinced? Therefore, after knowing that she had lost the steward's position, she had been in a good mood for a few days.

When Lin Ruo Xi heard the Second Wife say her mother like that, she naturally wanted to defend her. She stood in front of the First Lady and said, "I wonder what Second Niang means by that?"

The Second Wife glanced at Lin Ruo Xi indifferently. She was extremely disgusted by her pretentious attitude. She said as if she had just seen her, "I wonder how some people taught their daughters to be so uncultured."

How could Lin Ruo Xi not understand what she meant? Just as she was about to flare up, she was stopped by First Lady. She smiled at Second Wife and did not say anything.

Second Wife felt that she was bored and returned to her seat.

Third Wife had always been standing in her position. She was naturally happy to see everything that had happened just now. After all, Lin Ruo Xi had used her daughter so much. If it wasn't for her low position and her family not being doing well, how could she endure it for nothing?

At this moment, Lin Ruo Yin arrived in a light pink dress. Her makeup was elegant, and even her jewelry was not as dazzling as the others. However, her flower hairpin and white jade bracelet made her stand out.

"Ruo Yin greets Aunt, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt." Lin Ruo Yin walked in front of them and bowed.

The First Lady hated Lin Ruo Yin to the bone, so she naturally did not pay attention to her. Third Wife did not have any good impression of her either, so she was not moved either. On the other hand, Second Wife looked at the two people on the left and right and sneered in her heart.

"Look, Ruo Yin is very sensible. Her etiquette is better than some people." As she spoke, Second Wife smiled and pulled Lin Ruo Yin's hand, asking her to stand beside her.

In fact, Lin Ruo Yin could only stand behind the three wives. Unlike Lin Ruo Xi and Lin Ruo Yun, she could stand beside her mother. However, since Second Wife was personally pulling her, the First Lady and Third Wife did not say anything. If they didn't say anything, no one else would dare to say anything.

Lin Ruo Xi was once again scolded by the Second Wife. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but she could not say anything about it today. She could only swallow her anger.

Everyone was gathered around the two wives, but they did not notice Hong Mei, who was behind Lin Ruo Yin, holding a red wooden box in her hand.

The butler saw the Grand Lady and quickly reported to everyone. Everyone quieted down.

"Greetings, Grand Lady." Led by the First Lady, everyone from the Lin family bowed and greeted the Grand Lady.

"All rise." The Grand Lady placed her walking stick to the side and spread her hands.

The Grand Lady was supported by Lin Fu Cheng and sat down on the seat of honor. Her triangular eyes swept across everyone present. When her gaze landed on Lin Ruo Yin, who was standing beside the Second Wife, it became much gentler, including the Second Wife.

No one noticed this change, except for Lin Fu Cheng, who was beside the Grand Lady. They could not help but look at Lin Ruo Yin.

"The reason why I gathered everyone here today is because I have something important to announce to everyone. I have thought about this matter carefully before making this decision. The main reason is because there have been too many things that have happened recently. Some people have disappointed me." As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously wandered between the three wives, but she did not stop at one of them.

Even so, the First Lady and Lin Ruo Xi still felt a chill on their backs. They didn't dare to raise their heads.

"So, I have decided to take back the stewardship of the First Lady." The Grand Lady continued.

"Grand Lady is wise." Everyone lowered their heads and said. This scene had ruthlessly slapped the First Lady's face.

The Grand Lady's wandering gaze finally landed on Lin Ruo Yin. She waved at her and her tone became gentler. "Ruo Yin, come to Ancestor Grandmother's side."

Lin Ruo Yin was still a little hesitant when she heard this. On the other hand, the Second Wife gently pushed her away. Lin Ruo Yin was pushed out of the crowd and had no choice but to walk over.

"Ancestor Grandmother…" Lin Ruo Yin whispered.

The Grand Lady held her hand and patted her as if she was comforting her. She asked, "What is the thing that Ancestor Grandmother gave you yesterday?"

Lin Ruo Yin was quick-witted and looked at Hong Mei. Hong Mei understood and walked to the two of them. She knelt down respectfully and said, "Grand Lady, the item is here."

"Alright, Ruo Yin, open the box now and take out the item." The Grand Lady looked deeply into Lin Ruo Yin's eyes and gave her confidence.

Endless trust flowed into Lin Ruo Yin's heart. She nodded heavily and turned to open the box.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Fu Cheng suddenly stopped Lin Ruo Yin's movements. He glanced at her and then knelt in front of the Grand Lady and asked seriously, "Mother, are you really going to do this?"

Others might not have been able to guess it, but Lin Fu Cheng understood. Wasn't the thing he gave Grand Lady yesterday the key to the mansion? Moreover, this scene was most likely what he was thinking.

The First Lady also guessed it and was secretly shocked. She could not help but hold Lin Ruo Xi's hand, forgetting to control her strength.

"Mother?" Lin Ruo Xi cried out in pain.

The First Lady did not hear it. She was completely immersed in her thoughts. She really could not imagine that the steward power that she had worked so hard to obtain would fall into the hands of Lin Ruo Yin, that immature little girl. From now on, what position would she have in this house? Thinking of the looks of contempt from everyone, the Second Wife and Third Wife's mocking expressions, and the First Lady's unsteady posture, she felt a sense of helplessness from the bottom of her heart for the first time.

Wasn't this a huge irony? What ability did that girl have to actually dare to run up to her? Thinking of this, the First Lady's eyes turned slightly red. It was not grievance, but hatred.

"Oh? Fu Cheng, do you have a different opinion?" The Grand Lady turned around and asked in a cold voice.

"Mother, this matter is so important. How can you not discuss it with me? This … This … This is a bit too much!" Lin Fu Cheng acted as if he did not feel anything, and said fiercely.
