Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 298: The provocation and the disloyalty, and Nian Shilan had no patience to urge Cao Qinmo

Since it was Cao Qinmo's idea, she had to execute it. Cao Qinmo knew that this was her token of joining Nian Shilan's camp, so she observed carefully before contacting Lily.

Lily's life is not easy now because she did not know how to advance or retreat, which caused Lin Zhuoyin to suffer such a big setback. Lin Zhuoyin is still willing to support her and has done the most for her by hiring a palace doctor.

But Lily, who had enjoyed everyone's attention, didn't think so. She had only been with Lin Zhuoyin for half a year. Even though Lin Zhuoyin was generous, Lily had not saved any money. Now she was fined half a year's salary, and she could only make money with no money left.

This is nothing. The medicine prescribed by the court physician is just the most basic medicine. Although Lily's hand is healing, she cannot lift heavy objects and even needs a lot of medicinal herbs for nourishment, some of which are precious ones. Not to mention Lily, Lin Zhuoyin himself can hardly afford them.

Lily was not grateful for Lin Zhuoyin's kindness to her, but became more and more resentful. Lin Zhuoyin said that she couldn't afford it, but if her hand was really injured, she would definitely spend all her money to ask for a miracle medicine. Why did she say she was powerless when it was her turn? What she said that the sisters were of the same mind back then, now it seems that it was just flattery!

Lily's hand was not good, so she couldn't do housework, and Lin Zhuoyin didn't want her to get close to him, so after Lily's hand healed, she could only wander around with nothing to do. Lin Zhuoyin was sure that Lily would not get into trouble, so he let her go.

Under such circumstances, Lily "accidentally" met Cao Qinmo and Yinxiu.

Lily originally wanted to avoid him, but Cao Qinmo walked straight towards her, so she had no choice but to greet him. The experience of having her palm almost broken made Lily understand what it meant to follow the rules.

Cao Qinmo pretended to be surprised and asked, "Are you the Lily girl next to Ling Gege?"

Lily was naturally aware of her reputation and thought Cao Qinmo was here to humiliate her, so she replied stiffly, "I am Lily."

Unexpectedly, Cao Qinmo asked with concern, "How is your hand recovering from the slap you received that day?"

Lily's grievance of being ignored these days suddenly burst out, and she choked up and said, "It's healed now."

Cao Qin frowned, "The wound on your hand needs to be taken care of carefully. It's only been a short while, is it really healed?"

Lily said sadly, "For a maid like me, as long as the skin and flesh heal, my hand will be healed. How can I have the opportunity to take good care of it?"

Cao Qinmo sighed distressedly, "Yinxiu, I remember bringing a few boxes of ointment from my mother's house. They are for hand injuries. Go and get them for Miss Lily." Cao Qinmo couldn't get the best ointment, especially for Lily's condition. She said it was brought from her mother's house, but in fact it was funded by Nian Shilan.

Yinxiu took the order and left, leaving only Cao Qinmo and Baihe.

Lily was overwhelmed by this sudden kindness and said with tears in her eyes, "Grandma Cao is kind-hearted, not like... (my master)"

Cao Qinmo understood what Lily had not said, but still pretended not to know Lily's opinion of Lin Zhuoyin, and said with emotion, "Even if a concubine hurt her hand, the court doctor would not dare to ignore it." Thinking of Lily's presence, he said apologetically, "I just said this casually, Miss Lily, please don't take it to heart."

Lily, however, agreed with Cao Qinmo's words. "What Cao Gege said is right. Any master in this palace can always live better than slaves like us. Lily is just unlucky and can only endure everything."

Cao Qinmo disagreed and said, "Miss Baihe, there is no need to belittle yourself. Who can predict the future? To be honest, not all the ladies in the palace are from wealthy families."

At this point, Cao Qinmo said very disappointedly, "Let's not talk about anything else. Miss Baihe is following Lingge. Lingge will see that she is favored by the prince. If she gives birth to a child in the future, she will be eligible for the position of concubine, not to mention the position of concubine. By then, I am afraid I will have to call her Aunt Baihe instead!"

Lily then remembered that Cao Qinmo had not yet served the prince, and had not even seen the prince. As a fellow wanderer, Lily could not help but comfort her, "If the master had not used such a method to regain his favor, Cao Gege might have been able to meet the prince a long time ago."

Cao Qinmo didn't take Lily's shallow provocation seriously at all. What she really cared about was that Lily really knew Lin Zhuoyin's secret.

Cao Qinmo said sadly, "Girl Lin has the ability to do this. I comfort myself in my heart. But to be honest, if I can have such a method to win over the prince, I would be willing to do it even if I am criticized."

Lily's thoughts moved, Cao Qinmo didn't know, but she knew! She didn't want to be an aunt. Aunt sounds good, but isn't she also a servant? If she wants to be a master, she should be the master. Just like Cao Qinmo said, if she becomes the master, is she still afraid that no one will treat her hand?

Cao Qinmo looked at the ambition that could not be hidden in Lily's eyes and smiled with satisfaction. Yinxiu happened to come back with medicine. Cao Qinmo did not stay any longer. He gave the medicine to Lily and left.

Yinxiu said with some distress, "Master, that medicine is very valuable. Isn't it too impulsive to just give it to Lily?"

Cao Qinmo completed the first step of the plan and was in a very good mood. He strolled along the road and looked at the scenery. "Don't be impulsive. Only when you have enjoyed the best will you feel dissatisfied with the current situation."

The sequelae on Lily's hand would never be cured if she didn't take good care of it for a few years. The ointment Cao Qinmo gave her seemed to be a lot, but it wouldn't last for a few years. Lily was the kind of person who was never satisfied, so she would naturally try every possible way to get the ointment.

During the few months of waiting for Lily to use up the ointment, Lin Zhuoyin, by virtue of her opera singing, almost shared the same popularity with Nian Shilan in the number of days when the Fourth Prince stayed overnight each month.

How could Nian Shilan not be angry? Once she got angry, she would vent her anger on others. She called Cao Qinmo and asked aggressively, "Didn't you swear to bring down that bitch from the Lin family? What's the result? In a few days, she will surpass me!"

Cao Qinmo didn't expect Nian Shilan to be so impatient, but she still had to comfort her, "Don't worry, Concubine. What's wrong with letting Princess Lin act arrogantly for a few months? The more arrogant she is now, the more miserable she will be when she falls from her high position in the future!"

Nian Shilan couldn't care less. She held her forehead and urged, "I don't even want that bitch to enjoy my pride for a few days, let alone a few months? Think of a way!"

Seeing Nian Shilan so impatient, Cao Qinmo was helpless and could only say, "Please give me a few more days, Concubine. Lily is about to take the bait, and by then, Ling Gege will be killed without a burial place."

Nian Shilan was so angry that she had a headache and her tone towards Cao Qinmo was even worse, "I hope you will do what you said, otherwise..., humph!"
