 When mentioning Zheng Liu, Lin Yunfang was quite surprised.

"I have a very good relationship with her. She asked me several times if she could play with you. I came back and asked you before that you happened to be busy." When Lin Yunfang said this, something suddenly occurred to her and she said happily, "She I sent a message before saying that I was going to have a flower party, would you like to go with me?"

 The scorching heat has passed, but the heat has not subsided, so it is really not a good time to enjoy flowers.

 The so-called flower party is when girls find a way to have fun.

And Lin Yunyan came here for this one: "Go, of course I want to go."

“She must be happy to know that you are going,” Lin Yunfang said happily, then asked, “Speaking of which, didn’t the second sister know her before?”

Lin Yunyan curved her lips, and behind the smile, there was a hint of mockery.

Of course she recognizes Zheng Liu.

 Once upon a time, Zheng Liu married Liu Xun, Liu Jing's son, and was Lin Yunyan's "sister-in-law".

 The relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family was not harmonious, especially between Liu Jing and Liu Xun's father and son. The conflicts were almost written on his face.

 That means there are very few daily interactions, which makes it appear relatively "peaceful".

Lin Yunyan also had no unnecessary contact with her. Her sister-in-law's surname and character were not kept in her mind. However, before Zheng Liu became her sister-in-law, Lin Yunyan's most profound impression of this person was " The villain who framed Yunfang.

Lin Yunfang is good at horse lifting. When she goes out to play with girls of the same age, she often beats them.

Zheng Liu is one of Lin Yunfang’s poker friends.

 But at this flower party, Zheng Liu accused Lin Yunfang of cheating.

On other people's territory, Zheng Liu spoke with certainty, and there were testimonies nearby, so Lin Yunfang could not argue at all.

That day, Lin Yunfang came back home crying.

"She and I are so close, and I always think of her when I have good things to do. Why would she frame me up?"

 “I can’t figure it out! Didn’t you really mean it before?”

Lin Yunfang insists on her innocence, and her family members also believe in her innocence, but no one can prove it.

With such a stigma, you can only compete on the spot. Once you leave the table, nothing can be done.

Then it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and women with foreign orders came into the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

Grandma went to Mrs. Yunyang to clarify Lin Yunfang's matter, but she was blocked by the other side.

"It's children's business, they're fighting, why are we adults getting involved?"

“Isn’t it just a fight? Some people win and some lose. Do you, Yunfang, take winning and losing too seriously?”

"I also told Liu'er later, how can we, sisters who are such good friends, fall out over Ma Diao? Yunfang did something wrong, so just tell her in private, but not in public. No wonder you are anxious, sister."

"Since your family is so insistent, let's take a step back. What's the prize for that day? I'll just ask Liuer to give it to Yunfang. It's such a big deal."

 There is no swearing in every sentence, and there is good gesture in every sentence, but every sentence is a knife.

How can grandma's face be able to withstand this?

 Smiling faces versus smiling faces, what upper hand can the little Duan with no credentials or evidence have the upper hand? She was not good at this either.

Mrs. Xu Guogong also came up and said something like "I won't change my impression of Yun Jing just because of my sister's incident."

Lin Yunyan supported Xiao Duan and wanted to say a few words in reply to Mrs. Yunyang, but in the end she swallowed them all.

In the Cining Palace, her voice was louder and her tone was heavier. She was taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's favor to make unreasonable troubles. Her voice was softer and her words were softer. The old lady's hypocritical and sarcastic words would only make people angry. Their grandparents and grandchildren are becoming more and more passive.

 Having no basis or evidence is their biggest weakness.

Since then, the bad reputation has fallen on Lin Yunfang, and the originally optimistic third sister has stopped laughing.

When it was time to talk about marriage, it was difficult to find a good match in Beijing. The young Duan had no choice but to find a junior in the Duan clan. He emphasized to that person several times that "careless friendships among women may lead to being framed", and married her far away. I went to the south of the Yangtze River, hoping that my granddaughter would be treated well by her parents.

Judging from the final result, this step was taken very well.

 The third brother-in-law has a generous and tolerant personality, and the husband and wife get along well with each other. Lin Yunfang is also treated well by relatives in the clan.

Even if Chengcheng's house was confiscated, he would still protect and care for Lin Yunfang.

Lin Yunyan has exchanged letters with her sister several times and feels that her character is much more relaxed than when she was at her lowest. But these things can't change Zheng Liu's intention to harm others first.

 One winter solstice, Lin Yunyan had to visit the Liu family.

 Xu Jian went to Liu Jing's study, and she sat in the corner of the flower hall to warm herself by the fire.

Since it was a mandarin duck hall, Zheng Liu and Liu Xun didn't notice her when they came in and continued talking warmly.

“I deliberately stuffed the cards under her cushion and called someone over. Her expression at that time was really amazing!”

“Normally, I can talk like a peacock, but that day I couldn’t speak clearly. It really made me laugh to death.”

"I just hate her. We are all girls from the uncle's house. Why does she dress better than me and spend more than me? Her monthly pocket money is more than twice as much as mine!"

"Who cares that she gave me something? It was her initiative to invite me to tea and snacks, and I didn't ask her."

“She is obviously very good at horse-drawing, but she has deliberately lost money to me many times. Why do you think there is such a person?! Who wants her to pretend to be pitiful!”

“So, I’ll let her go out and make her great!”

　Until then, Lin Yunyan knew the answer that Yunfang had never figured out.

But no matter what she "repays" Zheng Liu, she can't help Lin Yunfang, who can't explain anything.

 And now…

Lin Yunyan looked at the cheerful third sister in front of her and asked: "I heard from people that you and Zheng Liu often lose in horse-drawn games. That shouldn't be the case. You win over me and the eldest sister all the time. It can't be me." Is it too weak?”

Lin Yunfang only smiled but did not answer.

Lin Yunyan would not let her pass easily, so she asked a few more questions.

"Okay, okay, I said," Lin Yunfang surrendered, "Even though it's an uncle's house, her family is not as good as ours, and she doesn't have as much money as I do.

 Let's go out to play together. I don't know how to save money, but it doesn't seem good if I invite her back.

I just want to lose some money to her quietly and treat her as my treat. Anyway, I’m not short of money.

 When we play together, the most important thing is to have fun. "

Lin Yunyan sighed secretly in her heart.

 It’s not Sanmei’s fault.

 She was a well-off person since she was a child, and she was raised by her family. No one in her Lin family had ever blushed because of the money shop Zhuangzi. Naturally, in her eyes, love is more important than gold.

 Those who teach the younger generation at home are also "thoughtful" and "generous".

 It’s just a small amount of money. She can afford it and doesn’t feel it’s a burden. Of course, it can’t be compared with “playing together”.

However, I never expected that in the eyes of narrow-minded people, her generosity is a show off, a charity, and a condescension.

 “Do you still want to lose money at this flower party?” Lin Yunyan asked.

"No," Lin Yunfang leaned into her sister's ear and said, "I won't pay any money this time, but there is another bonus. It's a copy of the painting from Jing'an Academy, which my eldest brother wants very much."

 It turned out to be for Lin Yunding.

Pinched Lin Yunfang's cheek gently, Lin Yunyan smiled at her: "Go and win the tracing book back."

 Also throw the sewage back.

 Her third sister does not bear that stigma.

 It will be on the shelves tomorrow.

  The first subscription and monthly pass for a new book are both very important. I feel anxious every time it is released. I hope the data can be more powerful.

  Thank you book friends for your companionship and support during the public period, and I hope to continue to see you all after it is put on the shelves.
