Chen Ruyu had invited Lin Yue over just to make things difficult for her. She had already spoken ill of Lin Yue to Zhang Peilan, and since their parents had forbidden her from mistreating that peasant woman, Zhang Peilan had nothing to hold her back. She could embarrass the peasant woman without being blamed by her parents—so today's display by Zhang Peilan was mainly orchestrated by Chen Ruyu.
Listening to Zhang Peilan demeaning Lin Yue brought immense satisfaction to Chen Ruyu's heart. She had no intention of speaking up for Lin Yue, although she had invited her. Wasn't this scene exactly what she wanted? If the Lin Family couldn't handle it, they better leave quickly; otherwise, there was more humiliation to come if they stayed.
