Yu Xinfang's mouth immediately responded: "Old Master Lin is joking. Listening to your careful questioning, it seems that you also care about the young lady. However, Old Master Lin can rest assured, Young Lady Lin has the old lady taking care of her, and there are the elderly gentleman, master, madam, and mistress watching over her, as well as Old Master Lin often thinking of her, so nothing will go wrong."

  Yu Xin's words were quite clear, bringing out several generations of the Rongguo Mansion and Lin Ruhai, implying that they had all tacitly agreed, so Master Lin should not take it to heart or bother with it anymore.

  "Ke Lin Jing originally wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong. But, in reality, she must be feeling extremely sad and heartbroken. In order not to make the elders worry, she will definitely put on a strong face in front of people and hide her tears, but when alone, she will cry her heart out."

  Following the words of Shi Taijun and others, Lin Jing suppressed his words: Lin Daiyu is too young, what can she understand? If there's anything wrong with her, it's because the elders in your household didn't teach her well! Besides, Lin Daiyu listens to the elders' words too much, you don't let her observe mourning rituals, and she has no way out, so she can only cry secretly.

  Lin Jing's words completely singled out Lin Daiyu. In the future, even if someone caught her at that point, it would still be the elders' fault. It seemed that Lin Ruhai was very willing to take responsibility for his daughter, and whether or not the Rongguo Mansion was heartbroken was no longer Lin Jing's consideration. Moreover, Lin Jing even wove a large number of good points for Lin Daiyu, such as listening to her words, respecting her elders, being considerate of others, and even giving a very good explanation for her tendency to cry easily.

  To tell the truth, Lin Qing really thought so. How old was Daiyu when she entered Rongguo Mansion? Think about it, a six-year-old little girl, going to an unfamiliar place, isn't she just doing what others ask her to do? Thinking of that sentence in the original work "being careful every step of the way, always being mindful, not willing to say one more word or take one more step", a child who was originally spoiled, suddenly falling into this situation, it's really heartbreaking.

  However, Lin Jing is not worried about this now. She sighed in her heart, it's really not easy. According to her personality, she really doesn't want to get involved in Lin Daiyu's messy affairs, but who made herself a Lin? Her ancestors were marquises and came from a family of scholars, but she mustn't bring shame to the family and hit this time-traveler on the head.

  As soon as Lin Jing said this, the people in the house began to polarize. The faces of those from Rongguo House turned ugly, while Feng's mother-in-law let out a sigh of relief and her eyes softened as she looked at Lin Jing.

  Lin Jing looked at them and said again, "Please trouble the ladies in charge to bring back what I just said to the old lady of your esteemed family, the two elderly gentlemen and their wives. And add one more sentence: I am deeply grateful and will remember it forever, dare not forget!"

  It's up to each person to interpret it in their own way.

  However, Lin Jing stopped here. These few were just slaves, only letting them bring a message, no need to offend these people to death.

  Lin Jing paused, saying: "I was so busy chatting with everyone that I forgot about the tea. It must have gone cold by now." She glanced at the maid waiting inside and said: "Go brew another pot, use the Bi Luo Chun from De's."

  Saying this, she looked at Yu Xiang and the others and continued: "It's not that it's particularly good, but it's precious because it was praised by the late Emperor and given a name. Actually, I also know that you all in Rongguo Mansion have seen all sorts of good things, haven't you? Here, I'm just relying on my proximity to the capital to get this year's tea a few days earlier than those in the north."

  After changing the tea, it means that the previous topic has been covered. Lin Jing did so, and those few faces also relaxed, and there were people who flattered: "Look at Mr. Lin's politeness, that is a royal product. I really don't know when I can accumulate good fortune to taste such precious things early."

  The atmosphere became lively, and Lin Jing also chatted with these people. For a while, the maid changed the tea for those few people. On the other side, the flatterer picked it up and smelled it, "It's really a precious thing, this tea fragrance is extraordinary."

  The maid also felt a bit proud, pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "This mother is really right. This tea was originally called 'Scare People's Fragrance', the former emperor praised it again and again. Now it's still this year's first batch, extremely rare. It's just that our master's teacher loves our master so much that he gave us a lot."

  As soon as this was said, it naturally led these people to ask about Lin Jing's lineage. When they learned that Mr. Zhong was the deputy abbot of Bailudong, several of those with some knowledge were stunned, while those who didn't know quietly asked others and almost all gasped in surprise.

  At that moment, those flattering words buried Lin Jing. After the first wave of sound attacks finally subsided, a burst of sobbing suddenly erupted.

  The person crying is actually a member of the Yu Xin family. This person, while crying, also spoke about how miserable her younger sister was and how she had left so early. If only she could have lived to see this moment, how happy she would be.

  Yu Xin's family cried and complained, making the faces of those people from Rongguo House very colorful. Some also advised Yu Xin's family, saying that his sister was not a poor soul, but rather had good luck, etc., while glancing at Lin Jing with their eyes.

  Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, and his heart sounded an alarm. Could it be? Wasn't it what he thought?

  Yu Xing originally didn't say much, just respectfully sat on the footstool. But this time he really couldn't bear it, and let out a low shout: "Alright, in front of the master, what kind of rules are these, crying and wailing like this?"

  She immediately turned her head to Lin Jing and said, "Please forgive me, Master Lin. This woman of mine didn't mean anything else, she just saw your current ability, Master Lin, and thought of my late sister, so she was momentarily stunned."

  Is your own endurance and interest gone just like your deceased younger sister? It seems that it's indeed as Lin Jing thought.

  No wonder these two people sized me up as soon as they came in!

  Lin Jing took a deep breath, pretending not to notice those things, and just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay," but in his heart, he was shocked and turbulent.

  Here is the translation:

  (ps two sentences, a year of filial piety, as long as you don't remarry and don't have children, everything else is fine, even the imperial censor can't say anything. But for sons and daughters, it's different. In my opinion, observing mourning rites in ancient times was extremely particular, some people observed mourning to the point of starving themselves to death. Such a large Rongguo Mansion, even if they didn't understand etiquette, couldn't possibly ignore this principle, it wasn't someone else, but Shi Taigong's own daughter, how could she be so heartless? So, personally, I think that's because Daiyu was too young and weak, really observing mourning rites like that would be exhausting herself to death. Out of love and concern, they intentionally glossed over this issue.)

  In the original work, Lin Daiyu's clothes are all very plain and light-colored, I think it's also for this reason. Besides, living in someone else's home, you can't wear heavy mourning clothes either, that would bring bad luck to the host family. As for Baoyu wearing red and green, that's not a problem at all, that's Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min is a married-out daughter, she has nothing to do with her natal family.

  "Oh no, I've become a bad person! If Lin really has to observe mourning rituals..."
