Chapter 260 Humiliation
"All of you cheer up and don't embarrass yourself here. You might give the Second Prince's wife something to hold against you. Do you understand?" Lin Wannian glanced at Qiu'er and the other servants and said in a warning tone.
Qiu'er and the others didn't dare to say anything and could only agree.
The few of them didn't bring much water, and they drank most of it soon. They only left a little for Lin Wannian, and no one dared to drink it.
I urged the servants of the Second Prince's Mansion many times, and kept waiting to ask them, but no one responded.
Lin Wannian felt very stuffy in the sedan chair, but she didn't dare to get out and show her face.
He was sweating all over and the sedan chair was stuffy, so he had to ask the servants to fan him constantly.
Lin Wannian knew that this was the bitch Li Shuyi trying to intimidate her and embarrass her on purpose!
Lin Wannian refused to admit defeat and beg for mercy. She gritted her teeth and waited, wanting to see how hard Li Shuyi could make things difficult for her.
She couldn't resist the oral order from the palace, and she didn't believe that Li Shuyi would dare to ignore it.
You can't just not let her into the house!
Once she enters the palace and meets the second prince, there will be a way!
Lin Wannian gritted her teeth and waited until the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, and then the side door was opened.
The servants in the palace came out and looked at Lin Wannian with a mixture of impatience and contempt. They glanced at her from head to toe and snorted coldly, "You, come in."
Qiu'er was a little dissatisfied when she saw that frightening, perfunctory, and arrogant attitude. Just as she was about to step forward to argue, Lin Wannian glanced at Qiu'er and shook her head at her: "Qiu'er, don't be impulsive!"
Qiu'er gritted her teeth and retreated reluctantly.
The servant guarding the gate snorted disdainfully: "What are you so proud of? You really think you are such a big shot, you can come in or not."
Qiu'er and Nanny Li were both unwilling, but seeing Lin Wannian's calm demeanor, they did not dare to conflict with the people in the palace.
After entering the door, servants led them in.
But the road became more and more remote, and it took a long time before we arrived at the gate of a courtyard.
When they arrived, the servant snorted disdainfully: "We are here, please go in by yourselves, the maidservant beside the mistress is waiting for you there."
With that said, he left.
Qiu'er and Nanny Li gritted their teeth and endured it, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and let Lin Wannian get out.
After Lin Wannian got out of the sedan chair, she smelled something and covered her mouth and nose with her handkerchief: "What is that smell?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voice of a maid behind her: "Miss Lin, I'm so sorry, there's an abandoned lotus pond next to this place. Because our queen didn't like the lotus flowers, she had them plowed and didn't have time to plant them. It's normal for them to have a little smell, just bear with it."
"After all, with your style, if it weren't for the palace's mercy, you wouldn't be able to come to our palace. It's good enough to have a place to stay. What do you think?"
Lin Wannian looked at the woman's harsh expression, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the anger in her heart. She glanced at the woman, but ignored her and said to Qiu'er and Li Ma, "Have someone open the door."
Only then did they look towards the gate.
The moment they looked at the gate, their faces became even uglier!
The vermilion paint on the door has peeled off and is mottled, and grass has grown on the threshold, making it look patchy and ugly.
It is obvious that this yard has been abandoned for a long time. No one has lived there for a long time and no one has taken care of it, so this is the case.
But they had been waiting outside the side door just now. Didn’t they mean that someone would come to clean?
Is this what they said about coming to clean?
Where did this cleaning happen?
The lock on the yard gate was not opened!
At this moment, even Lin Wannian couldn't help it.
She looked at the old woman beside her angrily: "What does this mean?"
This is really too much!
"What do you mean?" The old woman sneered, looking at Lin Wannian with a mocking expression: "Don't you understand what I mean? For a woman as unruly as you, it's good enough that you can enter our house and have a place to live!"
"If you don't want to, then leave! If you are blamed later, it will be you who wanted to leave."
Lin Wannian gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
She finally understood.
These people deliberately wanted to embarrass her and intimidate her.
If she couldn't bear it anymore and left, she would be disobeying the palace's orders!
Li Shuyi wished she could disobey the order and get out!
She wouldn't let her do that!
Lin Wannian sneered and looked at the old woman and said, "The Second Prince's wife is so arrogant. Even if I'm just a concubine, I'm still the daughter of the Minister and the legitimate sister of the concubine. To let me live in a courtyard like this, how arrogant!"
"Since the mistress isn't afraid of losing face, then we'll move in. If His Highness saw this, I don't know what he would think."
Lin Wannian pointed at the door and said, "Open it!"
Nanny Li took another servant and went to open the door.
Her words made the old woman sneer, "Let's see how long you can hold out. Oh, and don't forget to pay your respects to the mistress every morning and evening. Otherwise... the rules of this mansion won't make any exceptions for you."
After saying that, he turned around and left without leaving anyone behind, completely ignoring them!
"Miss, what should we do? They are too bullying!" Qiu'er stomped her feet with red eyes, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
Lin Wannian said coldly, "They are deliberately making things difficult for us. Go in first and don't let them succeed!"
Li Shuyi knew that the Second Prince would not dare to do anything to her at this critical juncture, so she tried her best to embarrass her.
Want to embarrass her and make her bow her head? She just won't let Li Shuyi have her way!
After entering, Lin Wannian realized that she had thought things were too simple!
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that it had been abandoned for who knows how long and no one had taken care of it. The few houses in the yard also looked dilapidated.
She wasn't given a single servant, and there wasn't any sign of her having taken care of the business. Now everyone's gone. This... leaves her to fend for herself!
The people around Lin Wannian looked at the desolate scene in the yard with tears in their eyes. They all felt sorry for Lin Wannian and thought it was not worth it.
But no one dared to say anything...
"Don't just stand there, it's getting dark. Hurry up and clean up a room so you have a place to stay tonight."
Lin Wannian said, "We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Fortunately, there is a well in the yard and the weather is not too hot.
After a few servants came in, they decided to clean up the small kitchen first and then the sleeping room.
As for the things in the carriage, unload them and put them under the eaves first, and then clean them up and put them back tomorrow.
Qiu'er continued to clean the room for Lin Wannian, while Nanny Li took the maid to the kitchen to boil water.
The small kitchen hadn't been used in a long time, and it was messy and untidy.
It looked disheartening, but Nanny Li gritted her teeth and endured it while directing the servants to clean up.
