Chapter 174 The interest between husband and wife

The servant had a bitter face. Not only did he not make any money, but he also invested money and got into trouble.

Qingqing's matter was difficult to deal with, because after Qingqing died, all the good things in her house had been divided up! He himself didn't even get one.

Lin Jinhu was the brother-in-law and also their master. He didn't dare to speak directly, so he could only nod frustratedly and ran out to find those people.

If he failed to do his job well for his master, he would not be able to survive, so he mustered up the courage to order those who had divided up Qingqing's things to return all of them.

Half an hour later.

"Sir, the inn has been booked. It's called the Fortune Inn. I only exchanged a gold hairpin for money. The rest of the things have been taken back."

The servant lowered his head in fear, fearing that the son-in-law would not be satisfied with the inn he booked.

He was afraid of being beaten to death like Qingqing, so he just wanted to finish the tasks assigned by his master as soon as possible. In his hurry, he forgot to ask his son-in-law what price range of inn he wanted to book, so he booked a low-priced inn.

Low-priced inns basically have no big backers. If the son-in-law is not happy, he can rely on the Nanhou Mansion to ask the shopkeeper to return the money and then change to another inn.

Lin Jinhu did not grow up in the capital, so he didn't know what Fuqian Inn was. He just needed an inn where he could sleep and do some work. Now his attention was shifted to the things that the servant brought back.

Lin Jinhu didn't expect that Qingqing could get so many benefits by staying with Wei Yanyue for so many years. No wonder many maids were vying to become the lady's personal maid.

It was not an easy task to get things back from someone who had embezzled them. He did not expect that this servant could help him do it! And he did it so beautifully!
Lin Jinhu couldn't help but look at the servant in front of him with new eyes. This guy was nimble and could help him do a lot of things by following him.

"what is your name?"

"Little Ah Hao."

Lin Jinhu patted Ah Hao on the shoulder with familiarity, "Well done."

He leaned over and dug around in the crack of the bed for a while, then pulled out two cents.

"Hey, this is a reward for you." This was the first time he rewarded someone. Even Qingqing, who served him every night, did not receive such treatment.

Ah Hao's bright eyes dulled for a moment. He had seen masters who were not generous, but he had never seen such a stingy master.

Years of slavery made Ah Hao quickly hide his true feelings. He took the two cents with both hands gratefully, muttering, "Thank you for the reward, son-in-law."

Lin Jinhu was very satisfied with Ah Hao's honest and upright appearance. He put away Qingqing's things in front of Ah Hao as a matter of course.

Next, Ah Hao did not see Lin Jinhu fulfill his so-called feast and drink, but just ate the leftovers of Lin Jinhu. Even though those meals were more sumptuous than when he was a servant, he could not be happy.

As soon as he finished his meal, Lin Jinhu became even more aggressive, as if he had eaten something from Lin Jinhu's house. He ordered him to do this and that crazily, and he was almost becoming Lin Jinhu's personal servant.

In the evening, Wei Yanyue received a small note that Ah Hao secretly placed on the window.

The little note was obtained by Lin Jinhu from Wei Luoyan.

Seeing that Lin Jinhu was sincere in borrowing the paper, Wei Luoyan mistakenly thought that Lin Jinhu had turned over a new leaf and wanted to study, and that he was in need of his own people in the court.

Lin Jinhu's joining the government to help him was a great joy to him! He immediately gave Lin Jinhu a stack of white paper.

Lin Jinhu didn't understand Wei Luoyan's expectations of him. He went back with the white paper and tore it into small strips. He first gave one strip of paper to Ah Hao to write on. Unexpectedly, Ah Hao's handwriting was much neater than his.

"From now on, you will be the one to write! Just write 'See you tonight at Fuqian Inn', and write the name Shen Jing at the end." Ah Hao was puzzled, as if he had heard the name Shen Jing somewhere before.

"Hurry up and write. If you take your time, you'll delay my work. Be careful not to end up like Qingqing!"

Ah Hao immediately stopped thinking and started writing. Then Lin Jinhu asked him to secretly give it to Wei Yanyue and not let Wei Yanyue find out.

Now, Ah Hao was in a dilemma. Finally, he sneaked to the window of Wei Yanyue's boudoir, put the note on the window when no one was paying attention, hid and made some noise to lure Wei Yanyue to come over and take the note.

After a simple wash, Lin Jinhu went to Fuqian Inn to wait for Wei Yanyue.

Wei Yanyue was very excited when she saw the words "Shen Jing" on the note. She pretended nothing had happened and secretly left Nanhou Mansion with Shuxiang, the new maid who had come to live with her.

"Miss, it's already dark. Where are you going? Why don't you go through the main gate?"

Shuxiang followed Wei Yanyue anxiously. She was really afraid that something might happen to the young lady, but the young lady just wouldn't listen to her advice.

Wei Yanyue was worried that it would be difficult for her to see Shen Jing in the future, and she didn't even think about verifying whether the handwriting on the note was written by Shen Jing. She was so determined to see Shen Jing that she didn't even bother to eat dinner and hurried to the appointment.

"Shuxiang, you have to listen to me when you come to my side. Qingqing was beaten to death just because she didn't listen to me."

"Yes, I understand." Shuxiang's voice became smaller and smaller, but she was thinking in her heart that Qingqing died because of Lin Jinhu.

Lin Jinhu came to the courtyard today, and all the maids saw him. They all looked at Wei Yanyue with a sour face, and no one dared to mention to Wei Yanyue that Lin Jinhu had been here. Qingqing was beaten to death because she accused Lin Jinhu of being a bad person.

Shuxiang secretly groaned. She was originally cooking medicine, but she was pushed out to be a first-class maid to Wei Yanyue. Now the young lady has a fickle temperament. Whoever becomes a first-class maid will die early.

When Wei Yanyue arrived at Fuqian Inn, her feet were sore. She didn't know what Fuqian Inn was. Fortunately, Shuxiang knew the way.

Fuqian Inn is obviously an inn where poor people live. Wei Yanyue frowned when she smelled the sour smell coming from the inn, and felt like vomiting.

She was a little puzzled as to why Shen Jing chose to meet her in this place, but then she thought again that Shen Jing must be afraid of being seen. After all, she was a married woman now, so Shen Jing deliberately chose this inconspicuous inn.

Ah Hao was squatting behind the waiter. When he saw Wei Yanyue coming, he winked at the waiter to take Wei Yanyue upstairs alone.

The waiter received the message and immediately came forward with a smile, "Miss, the guest said you came in alone."

Just as the waiter approached Wei Yanyue, Wei Yanyue smelled a scent of sweat and subconsciously took a step back in disgust.

The waiter's smile froze for a moment. He didn't understand why such a noble lady chose to come to an inn like theirs. He forced a smile on his face again, but it was much fainter than before.

Wei Yanyue understood that it was inappropriate to meet Shen Jing privately. She could also understand that Shen Jing was afraid that people would know he was here, so she asked Shuxiang to wait for her here.

"Miss, how about I go up with you?" Shuxiang was really worried about leaving the young lady alone. If something happened, she would be doomed.

"Shuxiang! Be obedient! I am your master!" Wei Yan was annoyed by Shuxiang, but was afraid that Shuxiang would run back to Nanhou Mansion and tell her brother, "Waiter, open another room for my maid to sleep in."

Wei Yanyue readily took out a silver ingot and gave it to the waiter, "Give her some good wine and food." She turned to Shuxiang and said, "Just wait for me, nothing will happen."

Shuxiang felt relieved when she saw Wei Yanyue's rare friendly expression.

Ah Hao squatted in the dark, eating melon seeds and watching them talk. If you ask him, Shuxiang just thinks too much!
The son-in-law is waiting for the young lady inside, what is he worried about? He can't understand the interest between husband and wife.
