Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money
Chapter 71 Abacus beads fell all over the floor
"Tell me, where is the master now? The rescue team also said that he is in great danger after so many days. If the master is really fine, why hasn't he come back yet?" Liu's voice became sharp and she glared at Aunt Zhou fiercely.
Aunt Zhou's neck shrank visibly, but she still said with a firm voice: "Maybe the master is trapped and can't get away. Madam is so anxious to handle the master's funeral, but how can we bury him without a body?"
"Are we going to let the master's soul wander around forever, without a home to return to? Aunt Zhou, you have such a cruel heart. The master was very kind to you when he was alive, but you actually said such outrageous words. Come, slap me ten times in the face." Liu gritted her teeth.
Lin Yuxi was speechless. She was always trying to control others and establish her authority. The house was in chaos. The old lady wiped her tears, her voice a little hoarse, and she shouted coldly: "You are the one who is troublesome."
Liu felt wronged after being scolded, so she started crying again, shouting: "Madam, am I wrong? I just want the master to rest in peace. No one knows where his body is now. I just want his soul to return home. I am also thinking about the master and the entire Lin family."
The old lady's head was throbbing with pain. There was no body buried but an empty coffin. How could she explain this to the old master who had passed away? The news of Master Lin's death would soon spread in Yingshan City. If she didn't handle it, she would definitely be criticized. After thinking it over, the old lady decided to hand the matter over to Liu.
Once the funeral arrangements are made, everything will be settled, and many things will change as a result.
With the approval of the old lady, Liu began to take care of Mr. Lin's funeral. The whole Lin Mansion was decorated with white lanterns. Everyone looked as if a relative had died, without even a smile. Mr. Lin treated people very well and rarely scolded his servants, so he was naturally popular. In addition, he was the head of the family, and after his death, everyone was worried about their future.
After the news of Master Lin's death was released, relatives and friends came to pay their respects. Master Lin had no legitimate eldest son, so when the family members expressed their gratitude, it should be Lin Yu, the eldest son from a concubine, who should return the favor. However, Liu insisted that Lin Yu was too young and refused to let him come out.
Aunt Zhou would definitely not agree. The madam simply wanted to keep Yu Ge'er away and not let others know that the Lin family had him as their bloodline, so she reported the matter to the old lady.
I will definitely not let Liu do whatever she wants, but Liu refused to give up and even invited a Taoist priest to come and say that Lin Yu and Mr. Lin's horoscopes conflict with each other, and that Mr. Lin is now a wandering ghost, and Lin Yu will harm Mr. Lin's soul, and she sounded very serious about it.
So in the end, the eldest daughter had to return the favor. Lin Yuhan was already married, and it was not easy for her to attend her parents' funeral, so the only one left was Lin Yuhe, the second daughter. Lin Yuxi was speechless about this.
Who would have thought that something even more speechless was yet to come. After the funeral, Liu invited the whole family to the front hall. Liu waved to Lin Yu, who walked over obediently. Liu smiled at him gently and said, "Today, I called everyone here mainly for the Lin family's business. I've thought about it. The Lin family's business is huge, and Yuxi alone can't manage it. Besides, she is married to an official family, so it's not good for her to show her face. She will be disliked by her husband's family after she gets married. Even if her husband's family knows that she is doing this to show filial piety to the master, it's still not good. If it makes Yuxi embarrassed in her husband's family, it's my fault. But these days, thanks to Yuxi, the business has been well managed. Yuxi, mother thanks you on behalf of the Lin family."
What he said was right, and there was nothing wrong with it. Women were supposed to be kept in the boudoir, embroidering and playing the piano, and they were not supposed to show up in public, go out to do business like men, and deal with men. Even if people knew that your original intention was pure, it would still make people dislike you. Ordinary people would not want to marry a woman with a bad reputation, let alone an official family.
But it's strange that although the prefect and his wife did not come to express their condolences in person, they did send people to express their sympathy. She also revealed Lin Yuhe's affairs intentionally or unintentionally, but there was no news from the other side at all. It was really puzzling.
Seeing that Lin Yuxi did not object, Liu thought that Lin Yuxi knew that she had no one to rely on and was afraid of her, so the smile on her face deepened, and she continued, "Brother Yu is the eldest son of our Su family. Although he is not included in the family tree, he is still the master's biological child. I should have handed over the business to him, but Brother Yu is still young, and I am afraid that no one will be convinced to manage the business, so I want my brother to manage it for him. When Brother Yu grows up, it won't be too late for him to learn how to do business from the shopkeepers."
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but laugh. He said a lot of things just to seize power. It would be better to just say it directly, instead of going around in such a big circle.
It is understandable that a woman like her is not suitable to manage the business, and she has nothing to say, but Lin Yu is the son of Mr. Lin, and no one is more suitable to manage this business than him.
Liu had a very good plan. She knew that it would not be convincing to let her manage the business herself, so she said that she would hand it over to her brother. If it fell into her brother's hands, wouldn't it be equivalent to falling into Liu's hands? Finally, she said that when Lin Yu grew up, he would learn how to do business from the shopkeeper. Note that she said learn, not return. After all, the business was still controlled by an outsider.
All the women present had climbed up step by step from the family's intrigues. How could they not figure out such a simple question? Aunt Zhou was the first to jump out and object: "Madam, aren't you handing over the Lin family's business to someone from an outside family? Although Yu'er is young, he has learned a lot about business in recent days. Sister Xi has also established his authority in front of the shop assistants. He is also the eldest son of the Lin family. How can people not believe it? Is it convincing for someone from an outside family to manage the Lin family's business?"
Aunt Zhou was so anxious. The day before yesterday, Yu Ge'er followed the shopkeeper and Lin Yuxi to learn how to do business. She would even wake up laughing in her sleep. But at the same time, she was worried that the mistress would do something bad to him. She prayed to the Bodhisattva and the Buddha to let the master come back soon. Now her dream of the master's return has been shattered, and Yu Ge'er's position as the boss is about to be taken away. How can she not be anxious? She jumped up without caring about anything else.
Liu was choked by her words, and glared at Aunt Zhou, choking her neck as she cursed: "How dare you, a servant, to confront your master? I didn't beat you last time, so you don't learn your lesson, do you? Are you itching for a beating?"
Under normal circumstances, Aunt Zhou might have been frightened by Liu, but the situation is different now. This concerns Yu Ge'er's future. Once this business is handed over, it can't be returned, and Yu Ge'er's life will be difficult in the future.
Aunt Zhou snorted coldly: "Madam, you have been exposed in the conspiracy. You must be feeling guilty. Even if you want to beat me to death today, I don't agree to hand over the business to someone with a different surname. That is our Lin family's property. Why should it be handed over to someone with the surname Liu? Madam, are you using the Lin family's business as an excuse?"
"You...you..." Liu's secret was exposed. She was so angry that she pointed at Aunt Zhou and kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't say a word.
