บท 426: Why Be Hard on Yourself and Everyone?

Liang Mulan revealed a smile, about to praise Lin Ran when she heard, "Granny isn't that fond of me anyway. In her heart… Lin Nuan is a more suitable candidate to be Second Missy of the Lin family."

Unlike her usual self, who would argue with Lin Jingquan like a cat with fried fur, she nodded her head at a surprised Liang Mulan. "Perhaps, but I only remember the day I returned to this house. When I was raising my wine cup to toast the elders, granny said, 'A proper lady from a recognized family doesn't simply raise her wine cup and drink without a second word. Then again, the environment shapes a person… I guess you can't be entirely blamed for this. You really have got to learn from Nuan Nuan in the future…'"

Old Madam Lin's every word from back then was remembered vividly by Lin Ran. Every minute detail about how each word was articulated could be mimicked perfectly by her.
