Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Although Nian Shilan was urging him, Cao Qinmo was not in a hurry to take action. He just waited for Lily to come.

Lily did struggle with this for quite a while, and she used up the ointment much faster than Cao Qinmo had expected. This was because Lily noticed the miraculous effect of the ointment, and without any doctor's guidance, she just used more of it without caring whether the ointment was absorbed well or not.

The final effect is good. Lily has felt that the flexibility of her fingers is recovering. However, this kind of pain that needs to be slowly cured cannot be separated from the right plaster. Even though Lily can live a normal life, she is still not satisfied. Her desire to climb up has been aroused by Cao Qinmo. How can she be willing to remain unknown?

But Lily was also very clear that Cao Qinmo was already losing money by taking out a few jars of ointment, and she would not be able to get it even if she went to beg, unless she could provide Cao Qinmo with useful information. But Lily was very hesitant, she was afraid that if she took out the secret of Lin Zhuoyin's favor, what if Cao Qinmo learned it, wouldn't she have no chance?

In this dilemma, Lily made a decision and knocked on Cao Qinmo's door.

When Cao Qinmo heard Yinxiu say that Lily had come, she felt relieved. Although she had expected Lily to come, the pressure from Nian Shilan was too great, so she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

When Cao Qinmo saw Lily, he looked worried and said, "Miss Lily, you came to see me, but what's the big deal?"

Lily fell to her knees when she saw Cao Qinmo, begging pitifully, "Please Cao Gege save me!"

Cao Qinmo was shocked, "What happened?"

Lily wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said pitifully, "Since I failed to do my job well and caused my master to make a fool of himself in the backyard, my master has abandoned me. Even the maids who clean the house do not treat me as a human being and bully me at will. I really have no choice but to come and ask for help from Cao Gege."

How could Cao Qinmo not know Lily's true situation? Although Lin Zhuoyin ignored Lily, she also ensured that Lily had enough food and drink. She even took into account Lily's hand injury and specially arranged a little maid for Lily to drive. Otherwise, Lily's hand would not have recovered so well.

Cao Qinmo did not expose the fact that Lily did not tell the truth. It was easy to take advantage of such a self-righteous fool.

Therefore, Cao Qinmo still said sympathetically, "Gege Lin is young and hot-tempered. It's normal that she can't think straight for a while. It's just that Miss Lily suffered such an unexpected disaster."

Lily echoed, "Yes, I have accompanied my master all the way here. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. Who would have thought that my master would be so heartless."

Cao Qinmo sympathized with her, but she would not offend Lin Zhuoyin for Lily. She said awkwardly, "Miss Lily is Lin Gege's maid. Even I can't do anything..."

Lily knew this, of course. She said sensibly, "I'm not asking Lady Cao to save me from this sea of ​​suffering. I just wanted to ask if I still have the ointment for my hand injury. I don't have much money, so I can do one thing in return for Lady Cao."

Lily took the bait. Cao Qinmo calmed down his agitated emotions and said kindly, "Miss Lily, what are you doing? I didn't expect anything in return when I gave you the medicine."

Lily said cleverly, "I was grateful to Cao Gege and took the initiative to tell her. Don't worry, Cao Gege, this matter is a secret, only the master and Gancao know about it, and I just ran into it by chance, and they have no idea that I already know about it."

Cao Qinmo asked curiously, "What on earth is going on?"

Lily said anxiously, "Gege Cao, you don't know that the master has used inferior means from the beginning to be valued by the prince."

After receiving a more curious glance from Cao Qinmo, Lily said proudly, "She thought she could hide her filthiness, but she didn't know that I saw it all. She was favored because of the two tricks she learned in the opera troupe when she was young."

Lily was talking happily, but Cao Qinmo felt it was boring. It turned out to be just singing. I thought Lin Zhuoyin had used some kind of sex technique. Although no one in the backyard had gained favor by singing, it was not uncommon in the backyards of various families. You can't convict Lin Zhuoyin just because she didn't appear in Prince Yong's mansion, right?

Seeing the indifference in Cao Qinmo's eyes, Lily was a little panicked. She saw that Lin Zhuoyin and Gancao hid it so carefully and thought it was something extraordinary. Why did Cao Qinmo have this reaction after hearing it?

Cao Qinmo didn't want to talk, so Yinxiu could only explain, "If the singers from outside entered the palace, it would indeed cause criticism, but it's just the concubines in the backyard singing a few lines to please the male owner, which can only be regarded as a hobby in the boudoir."

When these words were spoken, Lily was also dumbfounded, and she felt the same confusion as Cao Qinmo: It doesn't matter, why are you covering it so tightly?

Cao Qinmo was indeed shrewd. She quickly suppressed her emotions and asked Lily, "Everything has a cause and an effect. Since Ling Gege doesn't want others to know, there must be a reason. Does Miss Lily have any ideas?"

Lily began to rack her brains to recall the details of her interactions with Lin Zhuoyin. After thinking for a long time, she finally dug out some details from her memory.

"When I was still working in the palace, my master had a cold hand and a high fever. When I was taking care of him, I heard him talking nonsense, saying things like 'Stepmother, I don't want to sing opera', 'Master, please stop hitting me, my legs hurt' and so on."

This made Cao Qinmo a little confused. The palace strictly controlled the origins of the servants. How did Lin Zhuoyin end up in the opera troupe and then re-enter the palace?

"She was in a theatre troupe before? How did she get into the palace?"

Lily recalled, "I don't know either. My master never talked about her life before she entered the palace. However, when she first entered the palace to learn the rules, she was always punished by the nanny. The nanny said that she didn't know where she learned her steps, which were seductive and unruly."

There is something wrong here! Cao Qinmo and Yinxiu looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. If there is something wrong with Lin Zhuoyin's identity in entering the palace, then it will really be a fatal blow.

At this point, Lily's role is no longer important. Cao Qinmo said seriously, "This matter is closely related to the palace, and we cannot explore it. Miss Lily, please keep this matter to yourself and never tell anyone."

Lily saw Cao Qinmo's expression and became afraid. She said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Miss Cao. I won't tell anyone." Then she looked at Cao Qinmo hesitantly and asked, "What about the ointment?"

Cao Qinmo had given up on starting with Lily, but she could still give Lin Zhuoyin a hard time, so she helped Lily up with her own hands and said temptingly, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Others don't have what I have. Today I can give Miss Lily the ointment, but if it involves life-threatening situations, I can't do anything!"

Lily realized from the conversation just now that she might have obtained a secret related to Lin Zhuoyin's foundation. If Lin Zhuoyin found out, would he kill her? After being tempted by Cao Qinmo again, Lily was finally occupied by greed and said in a trance, "Cao Gege is right."
