Then she just turned to look at the other people behind her and said, "Have you heard about this?"

Facing Madam Zhu's inquiry, the maids behind her just shook their heads in cooperation.

Then Mrs. Zhu turned her head and looked at Zhu Zanxun with an innocent look.

"Young Master, you see, they haven't heard of this either. I wonder what the Young Master wants to see me for."

Zhu Zanxi could naturally see that Mrs. Zhu was just pretending to be innocent now.

So he just sneered and said, "Aunt Zhu, do you believe this?"

Mrs. Zhu who was questioned did not speak, but Zhu Zanxun said at this time, "Aunt Zhu, is there a girl named Yue Lin in your house?".br>

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, her heart visibly skipped a beat.

But she still had a smile on her face and said, "There is a girl named Yue Lin in my house. She was transferred here a few days ago, and now she is sweeping the outside yard. What's wrong? Has she done anything to offend you, young master?"

Zhu Zanxun didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in Mrs. Zhu's words. He just said in a calm voice, "I have something to ask her about, please let her come out."

Mrs. Zhu was obviously a little worried, so she heard Zhu Zanxun's words. Mrs. Zhu didn't act particularly obvious at the moment. She just said calmly, "If you have any problem, just come to me directly. Why do you have to vent your anger on a little girl? Tell me what she did, and I will do it for you." Just teach her a lesson."

Hearing Madam Zhu's words, Zhu Zanxun only looked at Madam Zhu with an indifferent look.

After a while, he took the initiative and said, "Go find that girl!"

Upon hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Mrs. Zhu lost her temper immediately. She quickly stopped everyone and said, "What are you doing? I allowed you to go!"

Facing Mrs. Zhu's obstruction, Zhu Zanxun just said unceremoniously, "My third uncle is missing. I'm looking for him now. The clue is with you, but you have repeatedly blocked me! Aunt Zhu, I I respect you because my elders have just been polite to you. If you don’t want this politeness, just say so. If you hand over Yue Lin now, I won’t say anything. If you don’t hand over Yue Lin, I can only wonder if you are. As a result, my third uncle disappeared. When my father comes back and he is investigated, your life will not be easy."

After saying this, he only paused for a moment, and then he spoke again, "Aunt Zhu, you may not know how good the relationship between my father and his third uncle is. I don't mind telling you, Yue Wu. When he was a child, he secretly ate fruit from the offerings, but his third uncle discovered it. After his third uncle taught Yue Wu a lesson, my father only punished Yue Wu. If he hadn't changed his past habits now, he would have been like this in his life."

Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Mrs. Zhu was also shocked. She really didn't know that Zhu Yuewu had such a history, let alone that Zhu Wangshu, who seemed to be indifferent to the world, turned out to be such a ruthless character.

But since Zhu Wangshu had such a great influence on her master, she naturally had no choice but to change her strategy.

After all, she really thought Zhu Wangshu was just a dispensable little character before this.

However, now it seems that everything is her illusion, and naturally she cannot handle the follow-up of this matter in that way.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhu could only take the initiative and said, "Since the young master has said so, then you can go find Yue Lin."

After saying this, she only winked at the maid beside her.

The maid got Mrs. Zhu's hint and was naturally ready to leave quickly.

However, Zhu Zanxi seemed to have thought about something afterwards, so he just said, "Let my people go with your maid."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came out immediately.

As soon as she saw the young man, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but said in surprise, "It's better not to bother you to run over for this matter. I'll just ask my maid to go over."

But it was obvious that Zhu Zanxun didn't intend to argue with her, so at the moment he just let his servant follow the maid.

"Madam, we are not at all

Hard. "The young man answered with a slight smile, and after the words fell, Mrs. Zhu was naturally furious.

But the boy seemed to be fine. He just said directly to the maid, "Let's go directly."

The maid obviously had other plans, so when she was greeted by the servant, she just looked at Mrs. Zhu helplessly.

Madam Zhu naturally understood something at that moment, so she only took the initiative and said, "Let's go."

After receiving Madam Zhu's instructions, the maid led the young man towards the backyard.

At this time, the backyard was full of greenery, and a maid was sitting in a pergola made of grapevines. There were only some seasonal fruits on the stone table in the pergola.

The maid sat in the pavilion, eating bananas and directing other maids in the yard to work for her quickly.

However, when the personal maid next to Madam Zhu came to the courtyard, the head maid, who was originally a person of five and six, immediately changed her face to something else.

"Miss Gui, why are you here?" the head maid asked with a slightly flattering smile.

The maid who was asked only said in a cold voice, "I want to find Yue Lin, please hurry up and call that girl Yue Lin over!"

Upon hearing this, the head maid's eyes froze slightly, but she did not say the words. Then she immediately said, "That's natural. I called Yue Lin over soon. Just wait." .”

After saying this, she stood up and welcomed the person to the seat where she had just been sitting, and then prepared to call someone.

However, at this time, the boy said, "I'll go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the maid who originally spoke suddenly said, "Brother, what are you doing? Yue Lin and a group of female relatives are resting in the room. They are all disheveled. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to go in."

When the maid said this, the boy felt embarrassed, so he didn't say anything at the moment.

After the maid deceived the young man, she immediately hinted to the maid to leave immediately.

The female manager nodded naturally and then hurriedly retreated.

After arriving in the main courtyard, she opened the door directly.

The maids who were sleeping in the room were naturally woken up. They looked at the chief maid with sleepy eyes and said, "Aunt Yue Lin, what do you want?"

The head maid who was replaced by Aunt Yue Lin said to the other maids in the yard without changing her expression, "Which of you wants to make extra money?"

As soon as they heard that there was extra money to be made, everyone immediately looked at each other.

Then one of them took the initiative and said, "Aunt Yue Lin, what kind of extra money do you want?"

The head maid said expressionlessly, "I want you to go to the front hall as me and answer a few words. If anyone asks, you can say you don't know anything! In this case, who of you can Can you do it?"

After hearing Yue Lin's words, no one said anything at the moment.

After all, isn’t going to the front hall the same thing as going to the Madam? Although Yue Lin said there was a reward, if they offended the madam, who knows whether they would be the ones who lost their lives.

Therefore, one of the leading maids suddenly took the initiative and said, "Aunt Yue Lin, I'm afraid we can't do your job. Aren't you pushing us into the fire pit? It's not like Madam doesn't know you. Let's go to the front hall." As soon as he stops, he will know that we are not you."

Hear what the maid said. Yue Lin just said expressionlessly, "It's what the madam wanted me to come to you. Now it's the eldest young master who is looking for trouble for the madam. The madam needs an uninformed person to speak for herself. After the matter is done, you will naturally The future is bright, and I still have fifty taels of silver to give her."

Hearing Yue Lin's words, everyone present suddenly took a breath.

They were naturally excited at the moment. After all, these maids had watched Yue Lin transform from an ordinary outer courtyard coat to the current outer courtyard steward.

Although no one knew what Yue Lin did, they all knew that Yue Lin helped the lady solve her problems.

So when they heard this, they were all a little excited, and even

If Madam doesn't promote them, fifty taels of silver is still a huge sum of money for them. You must know that they only get one or two pieces of silver in two months. This amount of money is enough for them to send home to support their parents for more than half a year. Therefore, it can be said that there must be brave men under the heavy rewards.

However, some people were very doubtful about this matter. That person said first, "Aunt Yue Lin, your reward is indeed quite high, but I guess it won't be good to go to the front hall, and if you don't If we cash in, what should we do?”

After hearing what the man said, Yue Lin immediately said, "How could I not fulfill what I said? If you can't believe it, I can go get the money now."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone else raised their hands and said, "Aunt Yue Lin, I am willing to go!"

As soon as someone raised their hands, others immediately followed suit. Everyone was afraid of missing this opportunity to make a fortune.

"Aunt Yue Lin, choose me!"

"Aunt Yue Lin, you should choose me!"

At this moment, everyone was scrambling to promote themselves. Even the person who questioned Yue Lin just raised his hand unconsciously.

But unfortunately, facing someone who provoked her, Yue Lin couldn't choose her at the moment.

She was just choosing the right person among the crowd. She had to choose someone who was not too smart but had a stable personality.

And during this search, she didn't expect that she actually found a suitable candidate among this crowd.

She looked at Li Yishu on the side and said, "Yisu, I know that your family's situation is not very good. Your mother is ill, your father is disabled at home, and your brother is too young. Since you all need medical treatment, I will give it to you." Fifty taels, if you make more progress in the future, your wages will be higher, so why not, I’ll let you get over this matter today.”

Hearing that Yue Lin could consider herself among so many people, Li Yishu immediately showed a grateful look.
