Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 290: Bexiuwen Cultist and Nian Shilan's Questioning
Lily had just left when Yinxiu arrived. However, the two people's styles of dealing with people were completely different.
After hearing what Bei Xiuwen said, Huang Guiquan recalled the different styles of the maids in the two courtyards and nodded involuntarily, "It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Although Cao Gege's situation when she entered the mansion was not good, looking at Yinxiu's cleverness, Cao Gege must be a thoughtful person; on the contrary, looking at that Baihe, I know that Lin Gege..."
Bei Xiuwen both agreed and disagreed with Huang Guiquan's analysis. "Gege Ling was born as a palace maid, so there is no one to use. It is unavoidable to let Lily and her ilk serve her. Once Gege Ling has established herself, she will naturally eliminate the useless ones."
Huang Guiquan was completely confused. Would Ling Gege be able to gain momentum or not?
Bei Xiuwen reminded, "As the ancients said, success requires the right time, right place, and right people."
Lin Zhuoyin had the advantage in terms of timing, after all, not everyone is lucky enough to be valued by the Fourth Prince; and it seemed that she didn't have the advantage in terms of people, and if Lily went out in that state, she would only offend people, so what they needed to fight for was the advantage in location.
The geographical advantage refers to the environment of Prince Yong's mansion. The first person Lin Zhuoyin, who is favored by the Fourth Prince, has to face is the covetous Nian Shilan. This is what Bei Xiuwen said. Now there is a problem inside Youyangju. Even if Lin Zhuoyin has Lu Yingfeng's character, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. It's difficult!
Huang Guiquan realized this and slapped himself in the face. He was so stupid as to forget about the important woman named Nian Concubine.
Seeing Huang Guiquan's reaction, Bei Xiuwen smiled and said, "You are actually related to Concubine Nian."
Huang Guiquan leaned closer and said, "Even if I try to get close to you, you may not be able to see me. So, I'd better concentrate on serving you. If you can give me some advice, I will benefit a lot!"
Bei Xiuwen is old, and when he was choosing a successor, he immediately took a liking to the capable Huang Guiquan. However, if he wanted to move up, he had to be capable of handling things.
"Then Master will teach you one more thing today. Only by looking far ahead can you go far ahead. Pay more attention to how Eunuch Su does things. Once you understand it, you won't have to worry about anything in the future."
Huang Guiquan smiled bitterly. If he had Su Peisheng's abilities, he would not still be stuck in the kitchen. He would have been transferred to the prince's side to enjoy the best food and drink. If he were to say, Xiao Xiazi was really lucky. How did she catch Su Peisheng's eye? If she took over Su Peisheng's job in the future, she would have a bright future.
Bei Xiuwen closed his eyes and lay on his back, meaning he was going to rest, and Huang Guiquan obediently went about his own business. Now Bei Xiuwen was not in charge of the kitchen, and Huang Guiquan had to nod his head for all matters in the kitchen.
After Huang Guiquan left, Bei Xiuwen opened his eyes and sighed. If his disciple couldn't break through the barrier of snobbery, he might be beheaded at any time.
On the second day, Lin Zhuoyin rushed to Xiliyuan with Gancao. Lily's lack of attention to her meals yesterday really scared Lin Zhuoyin, so she didn't dare to take Lily with her.
Before I sat down, Nian Shilan stopped me and said, "I heard that a maidservant named Baihe beside Sister Lin was very arrogant yesterday. She even stopped the eunuch who was delivering crab roe cakes to me and made things difficult for him. I don't know when I have offended Sister Lin, but she took it out on the eunuch who was doing the job."
Lin Zhuoyin thought that it was outrageous enough that Lily didn't bring the food box back with her, but she didn't expect that Lily would actually have an argument with the people around Nian Shilan. "Why didn't I hear Lily talk about this? Is there some misunderstanding?"
As Nian Shilan's lackey, Fei Yunyan naturally followed up immediately, "What kind of misunderstanding could there be? That Lily has already said, 'Concubine Nian is the master, so isn't our princess?' It's really deceptive for Sister Lin to say she doesn't know now."
Lin Zhuoyin clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She really didn't expect that Lily would dare to speak like that. Moreover, the words even reached Nian Shilan's ears. She was afraid that she would not be able to escape today.
"Yesterday, I just asked Lily to go to the kitchen to get some food that suits her taste. I really didn't want her to behave so rudely and even dare to make up stories about the master. I hope Sister Nian will forgive me."
Nian Shilan snorted coldly, and Fei Yunyan said knowingly, "Sister Lin, do you think you can just cover up the matter with a simple forgiveness?"
Lin Zhuoyin looked like she was about to fall, with cold sweat on her forehead. She said weakly, "I wonder what advice this sister has for you?"
However, this trick might work on the Fourth Prince, but it was just a drizzle to the people in the backyard. Even the most kind-hearted Lu Yingfeng was watching coldly.
Nian Shilan looked at her newly dyed nails and asked Songzhi, "Songzhi, when you were learning the rules, how did your nanny teach you?"
Songzhi understood and said, "Mammy taught the servants that the law stipulates that 'any servant who scolds the head of the family will be strangled; any servant who beats the head of the family will be beheaded; and any servant who kills the head of the family will be executed by slow slicing!'"
After these words came out, Lin Zhuoyin really couldn't stand steadily. She stroked her chest and said, "Why is it so?"
Yixiu listened to the increasingly outrageous words, and could only come out to stabilize the situation, "What do you mean by 'why did it come to this'? Today is the day when the new sister comes into the mansion, it is indeed a lively occasion."
When Lin Zhuoyin saw Yixiu, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw. She choked up and said, "Lily, who was beside me, offended Concubine Nian unintentionally, but Concubine Nian did not want to fight or kill her. I was really scared when I heard that."
Yi Xiu frowned in embarrassment and asked Nian Shilan, "Sister Nian, is what Sister Lin said the truth?"
Nian Shilan said nonchalantly, "My sister was just telling Linggege about the royal law and the government rules. Who knows what Linggege was thinking?"
Lin Zhuoyin said unconvincedly, "What about what Songzhi said just now, 'strangulation', 'beheading', 'lingchi'..."
Songzhi smiled and replied, "I was talking about the laws of the Qing Dynasty. They were talking about slaves from lowly families. The maidservants around Ling Gege were also palace maids. The rules in the palace are not that strict. The one who framed the master only needs to be punished with thirty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
But there are too many bends in the caning. If it is the buttocks, even if it is more than 80 times, the person can survive, because the buttocks have abundant subcutaneous fat, and as long as the nerves are not damaged, most people can recover. But the waist cane can be fatal if it is more than 20 times.
Regardless of the location, can a real hit and a fake hit be the same injury? If he really used his strength, thirty hits with just a slight rub on the waist would either kill Lily or make her live a life worse than death. And there was no shortage of servants in this mansion who wanted to please Nian Shilan.
Lin Zhuoyin realized very clearly that she had no way to protect Lily.
