The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 83: Madam Lin Dug a Hole For Herself
Here, Madam Lin had already combed Lin Qinglan’s hair. A group of people walked towards this side.
Madam Lin pretended to have just seen Madam Lu, and immediately made an embarrassed and surprised expression: “Madam Lu? Oh, Madam Lu, I’m so sorry. I actually forgot to give Madam Lu the invitation. It’s such a sin.”
Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken!
Mrs. Lin chose a good position. She shouted loudly across the lakeshore, as if she was determined to call all the male guests from the outer courtyard over.
Mrs. Lin’s words surprised many people, and the Lu and Ji families couldn’t help but frown.
The Lin family didn’t give any face at all, and really thought they had a sure win. They started by using the excuse of not delivering the banquet invitation to bring up Lu Qingyan’s scandal. It was really despicable and shameless to the extreme.
[Oh my god, this Madam Lin is really a brainless person. She didn’t leave any way out for the Lin family. I’m afraid she just came up with this on impulse and kept it a secret from Master Lin. Now, Madam Lin is doomed.]
[Once the Lu family turns over, they will trample the Lin family to death. This melon tastes so sour and sweet.]
Madam Lu looked at her coldly, her face red with anger. If she didn’t come today, it would only make people think that the Lu family was guilty. If she came, there would be a tough battle to fight.
The mother and daughter of the Lin family were still there, singing in unison as if no one was around: “Mom, did you really not send the invitation to the Lu family? Did you remember it wrongly?”
“No mistake. The invitations were all written by mother herself. She remembers them clearly. Actually, I am thinking about the Lu family.”
Mrs. Lin emphasized that she wrote it herself, which further confirmed the fact that she did not send the invtation to the Lu family.
Then, Madam Lin pretended to be thinking about the Lu family and said to Lin Qinglan, “I went out yesterday and heard a lot of negative comments about the Lu family. Of course, I don’t believe it, but in order to save the Lu family’s face, I didn’t send an invitation to the Lu family. Think about it, the people who came today are either dignitaries or princes and nobles. If this gets to their ears, how will they feel?”
“Plus, the Crown Prince will also be here today. This, this really makes my efforts difficult. Otherwise, before the Crown Prince arrives, please leave the scene, so as not to anger the Crown Prince.”
“Mom, this is inappropriate. Everyone is here. If we ask them to leave, what will others think of the Lin family?”
“That’s true. So mother is in a difficult situation now. After all, the Crown prince didn’t know that the Lu family would come today, and it would probably annoy him.”
Madam Lu clenched her fists tightly. What a great thing for them to leave before the Crown Prince even arrives. This is to make the Lu family bear the crime of contempt for the emperor’s majesty in front of the royal family.
The Lin family had taken the invitation when they entered the venue, so it would be useless to look for it now. Whether there was an invitation or not was up to the Lin family.
The Lu family thought that there would be a tough battle to fight today, but they didn’t expect it to be so tricky at the start.
How should the Lu family respond to this move?
Without waiting for the Lu family to speak, Madam Lin sighed in annoyance, “It’s all my fault that I was too busy today and didn’t have time to remind the servants. Now that someone from the Lu family has come, I’ll remind them.”
Is this an attempt to shut the Lu family out?
Others will only believe that the Lu family came here secretly today.
Madam Lu, please hold on, the battle between our two families has just begun. Don’t fall down right away, the rest of the drama has not yet begun.
Mrs. Lin thought sinisterly.
Madam Lu was so angry that she retorted, “Madam Lin has a really bad memory. If she hadn’t handed in the invitation, would I have grown wings and flown in? Or is Madam Lin deliberately humiliating me here?” As both were first-rank officials, the Lin family was not afraid of offending the Lu family.
Madam Lin was surprised. “Madam Lu, why do you say that? I always think about the Lu family. How can I say that I am humiliating you? No one would appear in the public eye the next day after making such a statement, right? I am always thinking about the Lu family’s reputation. Madam Lu, on the other hand, doesn’t appreciate it at all.”
“My Lu family’s daughter is innocent, so why can’t she do that?” Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was about to lose her mind.
Madam Lin secretly rejoiced. She wanted to anger Madam Lu so that she could speak without restraint.
“It seems that Madam Lu has not understood the painstaking efforts of our Lin family. Forget it, I will not pursue the question of whether Madam Lu has a banquet invitation or not. Guests are guests. I just hope that Miss Lu can have some self-awareness and not disturb the Crown Prince.”
Madam Lu, even if your invitation is forged or stolen, I won’t mind it.
Look, how generous Mrs. Lin is!
“You!”
Madam Ji patted the angry Madam Lu, signaling her to calm down, and whispered to comfort her: “Don’t panic, your anger will play into her hands. I have a way.”
Madam Ji stopped Madam Lin who was about to leave on the other side of the river and said with a smile, “Madam Lin really took great pains to prepare for Miss Lin’s coming-of-age banquet. Not only did she hold it two days in advance, she also wrote the invitations herself. She wrote hundreds of invitations in such a short time and under such a busy schedule. I think she wrote them overnight. This love for her daughter is beyond compare to mine.”
The Ji, Lu, and Duanmu families were standing by the waterside pavilion, while Madam Lin and other wives of officials were on the other side of the lake. The three families were obviously isolated, and of course there were many who maintained a neutral attitude.
Ji Hua clapped her hands and babbled happily.
[Hahaha, my mother has stepped in. This Madam Lin is in great danger. She can’t even tell a lie. She even wrote the invitation herself. Are you sure? I just saw that the handwriting on the invitations of the Duanmu family and the Ji family is different. If I remember correctly, this Madam Lin is a military general. She doesn’t know many words.]
[I guess Madam Lin didn’t expect that my mother would hold on to her casual words, right? Hahaha, mother is awesome, mother is the best, today the Lin family has too many melons to eat! This time, the Grand Tutor is probably so angry that he will vomit blood. ]
[The higher you jump now, the more painful it will be when you get hit in the face later. ]
Mrs. Ji always had a smile on her face. Everyone present was smart. They knew that the Lin family had ulterior motives in holding the banquet early today, but since it had nothing to do with them, they were all happy to watch the fun.
The noise here was quite loud, and some of the male guests from the outer courtyard were also attracted to stand not far away.
Hearing Madam Ji speak up for his wife, Prime Minister Lu was both excited and moved. After he came today, he clearly felt that the attitudes of several officials who had always been on good terms with him had changed. They were all isolating him intentionally or unintentionally. Only the Marquis greeted him as soon as he came and invited him to chat with several of his friends. He didn’t lose face in front of others.
When he heard Mrs. Lin loudly say that she had not delivered the invitation, he knew that the Lin family was starting to make trouble.
While he was angry, he was also a little worried that his wife and daughter would not be able to cope with it.
Madam Ji’s voice undoubtedly gave him the last straw to save his life. In the officialdom, he could argue with the heroes, but he was at a loss when it came to the calculations between the girls.
He also checked the guard who had seen the person that night, and he insisted that it was Lu Qingyan, which made him feel a deep sense of crisis.
The Second Prince had been visiting the Lu Mansion for some time, so he was on guard. If something happened to the Jiang family suddenly, there was no guarantee that the Second Prince would not make a desperate move.
Right now, there seems to be a turning point.
