Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Liu waved her hand and had the body thrown into a mass grave.

Everyone in the room had pale faces. The most important thing for the ancients was to be buried in peace after death.

Hongyan had served Liu wholeheartedly during her lifetime, but after her death she could only be fed to wild dogs, which made many people feel very sad.

Afterwards, Liu gave the order for everyone to disperse, and Lin Yuxi helped the old lady back to Songhe Hall.

The old lady talked to her as they walked, asking her if she had any shortages in her life. She also told her to send someone back to report if something like this happened again so that she could rest assured.

Lin Yuxi nodded in agreement. She could feel that the old lady really cared about her.

I just don’t know what the old lady is enduring. She has always been enduring towards Liu and Mr. Lin.

Lin Yuxi sighed. These were matters for the elders, and it was not appropriate for her, a junior, to interfere.

After talking to me for a while, he returned to Xiyuan.

Before entering Xiyuan, Cuiping came to meet me, her face full of worry.

"Amitabha, you are finally back. I was really scared. You two are so bold to let the young lady hang out so late."

Luyun and Cuizhu curled their lips. Today's events had already made them uncomfortable.

The young lady didn't beat, scold or blame them, which made them feel guilty. Now, after listening to Cuiping's scolding, they felt much better and didn't talk back.

Cuiping leaned over to Lin Yuxi's ear and whispered:

"She went to her mistress's room today."

Before leaving, Lin Yuxi told Cuiping to keep a close eye on her, and sure enough, she took action so quickly.

Lin Yuxi nodded slightly and told him to continue following.

This "she" naturally refers to Han, the new woman sent by Liu. She doesn't think that Liu would be so kind as to give her a woman for no reason.

She was eager to find fault with herself so that her marriage could be called off or Lin Yuhe could take her place.

If it doesn't work openly, then just place a spy next to her. Lin Yuxi sneered, what a wild idea.

Lin Yuxi's sharp eyes caught sight of Mrs. Han behind her, and the topic came to an end.

Lin Yuxi tiptoed towards the garden, and Mrs. Han came over with a smile:

"Miss, you are back now. You must be tired today. Come and sit down and have some tea to relax."

Lin Yuxi also sat down politely, took the teacup she handed over, and drank slowly:

"Mother Han is the senior, and Yuxi is the junior. Mother Han, there is no need to be restrained. You can sit down too."

Mother Han's eyes narrowed. She had not expected Lin Yuxi to be so generous as to invite her to sit down. She waved her hands quickly:

"I dare not. It is getting late. I am afraid the girl is hungry. I will go downstairs and set the table for dinner."

After Mother Han left, Lin Yuxi asked about Hongyan again. Cuiping couldn't help but sigh and then told her the story in detail.

Liu's illness had not yet been fully recovered. After seeing off the guests, she went back to her room to rest. She did not wake up until the evening. She felt a dizzy spell, so she asked someone to call a doctor. The doctor said it was not serious and she just needed to rest more.

At this time, Liu remembered that Hongyan was pregnant and she had never taken her pulse properly, so she asked the doctor to go and check it out.

The problem was apparent at first glance; Hongyan was not pregnant at all. When Liu learned the news, she was furious and immediately had Hongyan tied up and questioned.

Hongyan said it was impossible and refused to admit it. She kept saying that she was pregnant with the master's child and that the doctor was bribed by Liu and took a false pulse.

The doctor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, then left with his sleeves thrown.

Liu refused to listen to her excuses and ordered people to search Hongyan's room. If a maid dared to use a false pregnancy to get promoted, she could have faked it when she was pregnant.

But what would she give as an explanation ten months later? Shouldn't she get pregnant as soon as possible? But the master is not at home now, so even if she gets pregnant, she can't sleep with him.

Sure enough, Liu's prediction was correct. The old woman found a pair of insoles and a set of men's clothes in Hongyan's room. The fabric was given by Liu as a gift before.

Liu compared them one by one and found that the size of the insole was bigger than Mr. Lin's, and the size of the clothes was also wrong.

The truth was then revealed. Hongyan climbed into the master's bed, but when she failed to get pregnant, she bribed the doctor to take a false pulse, and used the fact that she was pregnant with the master's child to gain power. Little did she know that she was actually having an affair behind the scenes, and was trying to disrupt the bloodline of the Lin family.

Hongyan turned pale with fright and said that none of these things belonged to her. She did not make insoles, clothes or have an affair.

She was indeed pregnant with the master's child, but Liu didn't believe her at all. The evidence was irrefutable and she could not deny it.

In front of the old lady, Liu had the evil-hearted maid dragged away and beaten to death.

The old lady felt that it was too arbitrary and wanted to ask a doctor to check her pulse. Putting aside the question of whether she had committed adultery or not, she should not have been beaten to death just for the baby in her belly. This one beating meant two lives.

After hearing this, Liu burst into tears and said she was sorry to the master and to all the ancestors of the Lin family, for almost letting the thieves succeed.

This gave the old lady a headache, so she fulfilled her wish and let her handle the matter. After all, this was a matter within Mr. Lin's room, and even though they called her the old lady, it didn't mean that she could reach far and wide.

Lin Yuxi shook her head after hearing this, thinking that this was all just too much of a coincidence.

The Liu family is definitely intolerant of others. Lin Yuxi is very sure that after discovering that Hongyan was pregnant, she wanted to sell her out. But now she is kind enough to ask a doctor to check her pulse?

Lin Yuxi would never believe that Liu had a change of heart, she was just afraid that this was a setup.

Luyun and Cuizhu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. As maids, they didn't seek wealth and glory, they just hoped to follow a good master who would allow them to marry a real man and live a down-to-earth life.

In my heart, I was glad that I followed Lin Yuxi. Although life was a little hard, it was not as good as that of Hongmian and Qinglian who followed Lin Yuhe. The clothes she wore on her head alone were more precious than the rest of their bodies.

But Lin Yuhe had a bad temper and would beat and scold them at will. It could be said that you couldn't have your cake and eat it too.

In comparison, they are lucky because Lin Yuxi treats them well.

Mother Han set the table for dinner. Lin Yuxi and the others were starving. Under normal circumstances, she would have let them sit down and eat together, but now Mother Han was there as well, as she was Liu's spy.

I had only taken two bites of rice when a maid ran over in a hurry, panting and saying:

"Oh no... Master... Master fell off the cliff..."

Lin Yuxi choked on a mouthful of rice, her face flushed. Lu Yun poured her a cup of tea, and she took a while to recover. She jumped up excitedly and asked:

"What did you say? What happened? Explain clearly."

The maid was trembling, with a sad look on her face:

"I...I don't know...Manager Xu who went to Lingzhou with the master came back, he, he said the master fell off the cliff."

After hearing this, Lin Yuxi stopped eating, let Luyun and Cuizhu rest, and walked towards the front hall with Cuiping.

From afar, she could hear crying and Liu's howling. Lin Yuxi's head was throbbing.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a man in his forties standing in the middle. There was some mud on the hems of his robe. He stood with his head down and his shoulders were visibly shaking.

Others also came over after hearing the news, hugging the ground and sobbing. Lin Yuxi looked at her and saw Aunt Zhou's tears rolling down like scattered pearls, looking extremely grief-stricken.

Lin Yuxi opened her mouth, but couldn't cry.

Cuiping watched from the side, pulled Lin Yuxi aside, took out a bottle from her sleeve, and poured a few drops on Lin Yuxi's handkerchief.
