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

Chapter 6: First meeting with Liu, master and servant have a play

She couldn't help but think of her father and brothers. She wondered what they were doing now, and how they would feel when they learned the news of her death. They must be heartbroken.

Especially when I think of the white hair on my father's temples, it must be a big blow to see the old send off his loved one.

Thinking of this, her eyes became red.

Lin Yuxi didn't say anything along the way. After leaving the corridor, she had already arrived at the inner courtyard. Occasionally, a few eyes were cast over and sized up Lin Yuxi. The latter felt like she was a wild beast on the arena, being watched.

He curled his lips and ignored it.

The corridor was winding and it took about three minutes to reach the lobby.

There is a pair of double-leaf folding screens in front of the hall, embroidered with pictures of the four seasons, showing the different scenery of the four seasons, vividly.

Walking around the screen, Lin Yuxi felt a sharp gaze directed at her and looked up.

The other person was wearing a green Heru skirt with a white rose embroidered on the hem.

Her hair was tied in a double bun, and she wore a jade arm hairpin. There were traces of time at the corners of her eyes.

Hongyu bowed to Liu and stood beside her.

She was sitting in the mistress's seat, holding up the teacup elegantly, flicking the tea foam with the cup lid, and taking a sip.

He didn't even look at Lin Yuxi, let alone speak.

When Lin Yuxi saw her, she bowed to her like Hongyu and timidly called her "Madam".

She just nodded, which was considered as her agreement.

Liu then lazily raised her eyes to look at Lin Yuxi, and saw that she was lowering her head, twisting her worn clothes, and was silent, with a frown on her face, looking very disgusted.

If that incident hadn't happened, she really wouldn't have forgotten that she existed.

Even if she knew, so what? A concubine's daughter was not worthy of her attention.

If she wasn't afraid that the matter wouldn't be handled properly and would get to that person's ears, she wouldn't have bothered.

Liu coughed lightly, then said slowly:

"How have you been these days?"

He looked down upon Lin Yuxi with the attitude of a superior, cold, arrogant and condescending.

Hearing Liu's words, Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes and lowered her head even more, afraid that the other party would find out.

He responded hesitantly:

"Thanks to Madam's blessing, Yuxi is doing well."

Lin Yuxi almost felt hurt by her own words.

Too fake!

It's so fake, so fake that even I can hardly stand it.

Lin Yuxi held back the sour feeling in her stomach while cursing Liu's hypocrisy in her heart.

The original owner had been bullied by servants in the backyard for more than ten years. How could she, the mistress of the house, not know about it?

I have ignored her for so many years. If she hadn't made a fuss today, I'm afraid I would never want to see her in this life, or I would wish she would die sooner.

hypocritically!

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Liu glanced at Lin Yuxi and narrowed her eyes.

After a long while, Liu said again:

"Keep your head up."

Lin Yuxi frowned slightly, not understanding what Liu meant, but this was a critical moment, so she still looked up.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw the undisguised anger in Liu's eyes, and her clenched fists in endurance.

Lin Yuxi didn't understand where her anger came from. In the original owner's memory, her memory of this madam was limited to what she heard from the servants: obeying the madam's orders and instructions.

Apart from this, I have no other impression.

Lin Yuxi was surprised that this was their first meeting.

She remembered that her biological mother, Aunt Song, died when she was two years old, and a two-year-old child would have some memories.

How is it possible that there is not even Liu's appearance in the original owner's memory?

Soon, Liu returned to her normal state and asked Lin Yuxi again:

"Have you told me anything that has been bothering you recently?"

Isn’t this asking knowingly?

Lin Yuxi cursed Liu again, but it was not the time to be absent-minded, so she continued:

"Madam is good at managing the household, and Yuxi is not unhappy."

This sentence was a perfect flattery. Liu nodded with satisfaction and took a sip of tea.

"Since I have come to you, I will definitely ask for an explanation. Don't let others hear it and think that I, the legitimate mother, abuse my concubine's daughter. Today's incident, since it has reached my ears, it will definitely be heard by the old lady and the master. If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I will definitely handle it impartially."

Lin Yuxi understood what was said.

This Liu asked her to come here for no other reason than to give an explanation to the old lady and the master. To put it bluntly, she was using her to cooperate with her in a play.

Let them see that she did not treat the concubine's daughter coldly. When the concubine's daughter was wronged, she would specially come to her to ask about her well-being, handle the matter impartially, and seek justice.

If you do this, others will have nothing to say.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but sneer, but she also got another message.

It seems that this Liu wants to have absolute power in the Lin Mansion, but there is still an old lady to support her.

In this case, her chances of winning are even greater.

Lin Yuxi bit her lip and twisted her clothes tightly, looking aggrieved, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Seeing the look in Liu's eyes, there was even more disgust.

"Madam, have you heard any rumors?"

Liu was probably testing her, so Lin Yuxi just practiced Tai Chi with her.

Liu wants to say it through her own mouth?

She just wouldn't do what she wanted, let's see what she could do to her.

Liu cast a sharp gaze at Lin Yuxi, guessing her intention.

She had heard a lot about her timid nature over the years, and now that she had seen it, she didn't know whether she was really afraid or just pretending.

She pretended to cough and winked at Hongyu:

"Bring Mama Liu up here."

Hongyu took the order and went downstairs, and soon came up with Mother Liu with a flickering look in her eyes.

As soon as Mother Liu came up, she knelt down and cried for the madam to give her justice.

Lin Yuxi curled her lips and didn't care.

Justice?

It’s still unclear who will give justice to whom!

After bullying the original owner for so many years, she thought she was right!

Liu slammed the tea table hard and shouted angrily:

"Are there any rules left? Why are you crying so hard? Just tell me what happened. If you are unreasonable, I will not be polite."

Liu suddenly slammed the table, causing Mrs. Liu's heart to start beating.

There was a flash of panic and hesitation in her eyes, but she thought that if she didn't say it well today, she would end up in a bad situation.

So, I had some thoughts in my mind.

"Madam, you are wise. We all know that you are kind-hearted and treat your concubine as your own daughter. Madam sympathizes with the fact that the second young lady lost her mother when she was young, and she is a little withdrawn and doesn't like to see people. For many years, the second young lady has been exempted from paying respects, but she always asks me to care about her life from time to time. Today, I went to the West Garden as usual to ask if the second young lady had any shortages in her life, but unexpectedly..."

When it came to the important part, Mother Liu suddenly stopped, with a hint of fear in her tone, and glanced at Lin Yuxi timidly.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Lin Yuxi meaningfully and motioned for Mrs. Liu to continue.
