Chapter 461 The True and False Lin San
‘Known or unknown, the name will not be disclosed?’ What did that mean? The servants and maids at the entrance of the Xu family estate were utterly baffled. They couldn't figure out who had sent this mysterious gift, or who had thought of such a strange congratulatory message.
"What should we do, Sister Yuzhu? Should we accept this gift or not?" whispered a young maid standing beside Yuzhu. Yuzhu was Xu Zhiqing's personal maid, and her status within the Xu household was naturally significant. After pondering for a moment, she said, "You all wait here; I will go inform Miss Xu and let her decide."
Yuzhu quickly walked into the mansion, leaving those who had brought the gift waiting outside. After waiting long enough for a cup of tea to be brewed, she still had not returned. Gao Qiu, growing anxious, asked, "Brother Lin, it's been quite some time. Do you think we've been discovered?"
Lin Wanrong had already staked his reputation on this. If he couldn't gain entry to the Xu mansion today, it would be a significant loss of face. He chuckled, "I'm not afraid of being discovered; I'm afraid of not being discovered! Miss Xu should be clever enough to see through this, right?"
Brother Lin's words were indeed mysterious, and Gao Qiu was puzzled. Just when even Lin Wanrong was beginning to grow impatient, the grand doors of the Xu mansion suddenly creaked open. Yuzhu emerged from the crowd and smiled, "My mistress thanks the nameless benefactor for the gift. Please, follow me."
The sound of drums and music filled the air as eight bearers lifted a large palanquin and followed Yuzhu. Everyone filed in, creating a lively atmosphere. Gao Qiu joyfully exclaimed, "Brother Lin, we're in! We're in!"
Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled, "Getting in is just the first step; the key is what comes next."
The eight bearers carried the palanquin into the Xu mansion and followed Yuzhu gracefully. Soon, they arrived at the back garden. There stood a mature, stunningly beautiful woman, clad in a pink robe. She gave the bearers and musicians a slight nod and smiled faintly, "Thank you all. Yuzhu, give them their reward."
