The old lady smiled and said, "You are the best at talking. If there is something going on in my house that others don't know about, how could you not know about it?"

Seeing how enthusiastically the old lady was talking to the old woman, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but look at the old woman a few more times. The old woman comforted him with a few words, but she couldn't hide her joy on her face: "At least it's over. People say that those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. Just relax, old lady."

Yingshan City is not big, but not small either, but no matter what happens in someone's family, it will spread like wildfire as soon as the wind blows.

The Lin Mansion has been in trouble one after another recently, so the most talked about thing in Yingshan City is naturally the Lin Mansion. Since Grandma Wu knows about Mr. Lin's affairs, she must also know about Lin Yuhe's affairs, but she only talks about the good things.

The old lady smiled and nodded after hearing this. Wu Yapo continued, "I heard the other day that the old lady's house needed maids, so I quickly brought over forty of the best ones who are most efficient. I wonder if they are lucky enough to be favored by the old lady."

"That's not what I want." The old lady turned to Lin Yuxi and said with a smile: "You can choose for yourself. Four second-class and three-class maids each." Although the old lady loved Lin Yuxi, she had to follow the rules and could not bypass the legitimate daughter.

Lin Yuxi naturally understood this logic, but she was surprised that the old lady asked her to pick eight people. She originally thought that three or four would be enough, as her yard was small and could not accommodate so many people.

"Thank you, old lady. There is only one maid named Luyun in Yuxi's room. I want to promote Cuizhu to be the head maid, and pick a second-class maid to help Cuiping. Two third-class maids will be enough. Yuxi does not need so many people to serve her." If there were too many people, there would be no work for them to do.

The old lady looked at Lin Yuxi approvingly, but she was still worried that she was not good enough. Seeing that the old lady was a little hesitant, Lin Yuxi said, "If you are worried, please give me a mother. They are all little girls. I am afraid that some things are not done well, so I can help train the maids."

Seeing that Lin Yuxi's words were flawless, the old lady no longer bothered about it. If she was short of people, she could just buy another one. The look in Wu's eyes when she looked at Lin Yuxi softened. She was wearing a dark brown long dress with dark patterns, and a light brown gauze with emerald patterns on the outside. The breeze blew, and the gauze fluttered. She exuded a faint spiritual aura. Her dark hair was tied into a simple gourd bun, and she wore an elegant white jade character for longevity on her head.

Then he stepped forward and greeted her: "This must be the second young lady. She is so pretty. I heard that she has arranged a marriage with the second son of the prefectural governor. I have always wondered what kind of woman would catch the eye of the second lady. Today I see that she is indeed extraordinary. The old lady is so lucky."

Lin Yuxi could see that Grandma Wu seemed to have a good relationship with the old lady, so she also developed a liking for her and said a few polite and modest words to her.

"Yes, second sister, grandma is so blessed because of you. You have made a great contribution." Lin Yuhe said in a neutral tone.

Grandma Wu has traveled a lot and has trained her eyes to be sharp. Although Lin Yuxi's eyebrows and eyes are pale, they are clear and she is humble and polite to others, unlike ordinary girls in the boudoir. Because of the old lady, she likes her even more.

Lin Yuhe's sudden words made Wu Yapo's face darken a little. This was to scold her for being blind and flattering. She glanced at Lin Yuhe with disdain and contempt in her eyes. Who in Yingshan City didn't know her little things?

It's a pity that she still thinks she is superior. Her tongue is so sarcastic and you can tell at a glance that she is unlucky. However, Grandma Wu is not stupid enough to offend her. She pretends not to understand Lin Yuhe's sarcasm and flatters her a few words. Lin Yuhe proudly raised her eyebrows at Lin Yuxi in provocation.

Lin Yuxi didn't have time to pay attention to her. She just turned her eyes to the dozens of maids, looked them up, and asked a few of them some questions.

Lin Yuhe refused to let her go and acted coquettishly to the old lady: "Grandma, I am also short of servants in my house. Can I pick two too?"

The old lady frowned slightly, knowing that she was deliberately picking on Lin Yuxi, but she couldn't be too biased. Although she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she still agreed.

Lin Yuhe happily walked to the front and started to pick. She glared at Lin Yuxi, her eyes seemed to say that she was the legitimate daughter and should choose first. Lin Yuxi didn't want to get entangled with her, so she shrugged and let her. Lin Yuhe was not polite either, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the two people that Lin Yuxi had just chosen.

Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky in silence. She didn't think that taking away her two maids would be enough to defeat her. How naive! But those two girls were really good. It was a pity for them to follow a master like Lin Yuhe.

However, she did not dwell on this issue too much and focused on selecting maids. In fact, she did not have such ulterior motives. She only wanted them to be loyal, and she selected them in no time.

The old lady thought that the three maids were indeed good-looking. They were not outstanding, but pleasing to the eye and had a dignified temperament. When Lin Yuxi asked questions just now, the three of them were very gentle, calm and polite.

The old lady was also very satisfied and wanted to invite Wu Yingpo in to talk to her, but Wu Yingpo waved her hands and said she had to go to the next house. The old lady didn't want to block someone else's money, so she asked someone to take Wu Yingpo downstairs to settle the bill.

Seeing that she looked indifferent, Lin Yuhe felt suffocated again. Lin Yuxi didn't even look at her. After thanking the old lady for the reward, she led a few maids back to the West Garden.

The three maids followed behind tremblingly, not daring to breathe. Lin Yuxi took a look at them. They were all wearing coarse cloth clothes, which were relatively clean, but she noticed with her sharp eyes that their shoes were very worn out, so she ordered Cuiping to take them downstairs to wash and change clothes.

As soon as Lin Yuxi returned to the garden, Mother Wang brought a maid over. The maid was in her forties, dressed neatly and appropriately, with her hair combed neatly. There was a serious look between her eyebrows and eyes. Just by looking at her appearance, one could tell that she was an upright person and a capable person. Lin Yuxi was satisfied just by looking at her.

Inviting Mother Wang to come in and rest, Mother Wang quickly said that she was in a hurry to report back to the old lady. Lin Yuxi then pulled Mother Wang into the house affectionately, smiling: "The weather is hot, it won't take long, the old lady won't mind you. Mother Wang is a good helper, taking care of grandma like a girl waiting to get married. Yuxi has selfish motives, she wants to learn a few tricks from Mother Wang, so that she can show her filial piety to grandma."

Mother Wang couldn't help but feel proud after hearing this. Lin Yuxi's words sounded comfortable to her. Mother Wang's eyebrows were curved and her eyes were narrowed. She was the old lady's wet nurse. She watched her grow up and got married, but she really treated her like her own daughter. Her words were very heartwarming. At the same time, she felt that the second young lady was a filial person. The look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yuxi became softer.
