“According to Mother Lin, in the future, this Miss have to listen to you?” Ling Xuan"s side of the mouth showed a deep meaning. She asked lightly, “Then, according to Mother Lin, should this Tao Di Restaurant be given to ShangGuan Yan Lan?” Her tone was unusually gentle, but her aggressive eyes fell on Mother Lin without blinking, causing her to tremble.
Mother Lin would love to answer: ‘The Yun Family has so many businesses, it"s no big deal to give a Tao Di Restaurant to ShangGuan Miss since its business is declining. After all, you both are cousins." But, when she met with Miss"s deep meaning eyes, her heart couldn"t help but tremble. She didn"t dare to think about it anymore and immediately replied, “It was left by the mistress. No matter how bad it is, we have to keep it and wait for the Young Master to decide.”
Looking at Mother Lin"s complicated expression, Ling Xuan was secretly feeling happy but said solemnly, “Mother Lin is indeed thinking for the Yun Family. It seems that it is I who have misunderstood.” Seeing Mother Lin"s eyes showed a hint of relief, Ling Xuan added, “Since Mother Lin said so, then we shall not give the restaurant away. Later I will send someone to pa.s.s a message to cousin, telling her that Mother Lin thinks that the restaurant was left by my mother for my brother. No matter the business is good or bad, it is no concern for anyone. It"s better not to give it away… Sigh… I was thinking about giving my cousin a good shop, After much thinking, let"s forget about it. After giving it away, Mother Lin will definitely blame me.”
Ling Xuan"s words had made Mother Lin"s heart felt confused. She felt that the Miss was doing it deliberately… But, Miss was just ten years old, would her thoughts be so deep?
Also, Miss said she would not give ShangGuan Miss a shop all because of what she said… When she thought of it, she felt a chill, and when she thought of the things that was going to happen next, she felt even worse.
“Old… Old Servant didn"t mean that. To give or not, it all depends on the Miss"s decision!” Mother Lin thought of the episode and immediately explained it.
“What? Does Mother Lin now think that this Miss should give it away? Ling Xuan smiled when she saw how she changed her mind so fast.
Mother Lin was tongue-tied. Now, she finally realized that she had fallen into Miss"s trap. No matter how she answered it, it would not satisfy both sides.
Looking at Mother Lin"s silence, Ling Xuan stood up and smiled, “Fortunately, Mother Lin side with the Yun Family, otherwise, this Miss really doesn"t know what to do. Mother Lin belongs to Yun Family. Your man and your son are both there now, but your slave deed is in my hands. If you do something wrong to the Yun Family, this Miss will definitely sell you to a place where no one can find you and you can forget about coming back to the capital to look for your relatives.”
After she saw that Mother Lin"s body was trembling and eyes flashed with fear, Ling Xuan felt satisfied and stopped talking. She turned around and left. She totally did not put Mother Lin in her eyes.
The reason why Mother Lin was still able to stay around was that for now, she was still a little useful and a special warning was needed.
She just did not know if Mother Lin would remember it.
When Uncle He saw Mother Lin"s terrified and uneasy face, he shook his head and stopped talking as well. He went out with the Miss, and in the large hall, Mother Lin had collapsed on the ground, unable to say a word.
She had forgotten that she had married ShangGuan"s family son, but her slave deed was in the mistress"s hand. To stay or be sold off, it all depended on the Miss being happy or not.
