林婉放下勺子，指尖无意识地摩挲着碗沿。这燕窝是娘亲那边派人送来的，细腻顺滑，入口即化。她尝了一口，甜中带点微咸，味道正好。前世的时候，她哪吃过上这样的东西？每天不是吃粗茶淡饭，就是被继母下毒，害得她三天两头咳血。

“婉儿，你尝尝这个。”刘氏端着一碗汤走进来，看到林婉吃得香甜，脸上露出一丝笑容，“这是你爹特意让厨房炖的，说你最近气色不好，多补补。”

林婉抬眼看了看刘氏，她这具身体的原主娘亲，是个温柔的女人，却总被继母和庶妹欺压得喘不过气。前世的时候，她为了保护娘亲，差点被庶妹推下井，要不是逃得快，命早就没了。

“娘，我饿了。”林婉故意说，她知道刘氏跟了她十年，一直勤勤恳恳地照顾着继母和庶妹，却从未得到过半点好处。

刘氏愣了一下，随即叹了口气：“好，好，我去给你拿饭。”

林婉看着刘氏的背影，眼神冷冽。前世的时候，她为了救娘亲，不惜跟渣男庶妹拼命，结果却落得个被家族抛弃的下场。这一世，她绝不会重蹈覆辙。

dinner time was approaching, and the whole family was gathered in the dining room. The air was filled with tension as everyone awaited the arrival of the head of the family, Mr. Lin, who had been away on business.

Mr. Lin walked in, his face cold and stern. He had been away for six months, and during that time, he had heard quite a bit about his wife and concubine. He had always favored his legitimate wife, but the concubine had been getting more and more arrogant, always trying to take advantage of his kindness.
