"Miss, are the good things I usually do not enough to show my compassion?" Lin Shichu asked, "I have to help this scholar to show it? Speaking of Qingyu, you seem to care about this scholar very much. Why, do you know him? ?”
Qingyu was already feeling guilty, but she was even more shocked when she heard Lin Shichu's words, and quickly denied: "No, no, I don't know this young master, I just pity him."
"That's good. You keep mentioning him, and I've misunderstood." Lin Shichu said with a smile on his face.
Qingyu was afraid that Lin Shichu would really notice something strange, so she had no choice but to change the subject with a dry smile, and did not dare to mention Fang Yu'an anymore for the time being.
Lin Shichu ordered the carriage to drive faster. She wanted to get home early.
This time she came out to the Great Holy Temple to worship Buddha, because Mrs. Lin soon fell ill. After recovering from the illness, she took the place of her mother and returned the incense to the temple.
Fang Yu'an bribed Qing Yu and knew that she would pass by this road today, so he carefully planned a good show here to win her favor.
It's a pity that Lin Shichu is no longer the original owner. She didn't get off the carriage at all, and she didn't pity him at all and helped him to get to know him.
After Lin Shichu's carriage left, Fang Yu'an stared at the sight that was getting farther and farther away, his face twisted with anger. All his efforts were in vain, and he wasted several pennies on hiring a little beggar to act, but... Not getting to know Lin Shichu as expected was really a waste of money.
After Lin Shichu's carriage accelerated, he soon left Fang Yu'an behind. As long as she didn't take the initiative, what could Fang Yu'an do to her? However, Qingyu failed to trick Lin Shichu into getting off the carriage and looking for Fang Yu'an. At this time, he was restless, looking anxious and nervous, and his eyes kept looking back.
"Qingyu, you are restless, are you still thinking about the scholar just now? If you are really worried about him, why not get out of the car and go back to find him?" Lin Shichu said deliberately.
"No, no, I didn't mean this." Qingyu quickly denied.
Lin Shichu was noncommittal, and the carriage quickly arrived at the door of Lin's house.
The Lin family is one of the richest families in the local area. Lin's father is very good at doing business and has accumulated a huge family property. Unfortunately, he only has a daughter, Lin Shichu, but he loves his wife deeply and does not want to hurt her by taking a concubine, so even though his wife Although his body was injured and he couldn't give birth to another child, he never complained, but he loved his wife and daughter even more, and he also wanted to find a wife for his daughter to spread the name of the Lin family.
If it weren't for Fang Yu'an's careful calculation, Lin's father would most likely have hired someone to inherit the Lin family's property. Unfortunately, the original owner met Fang Yu'an, who had evil intentions, and ruined himself and his entire family property in vain.
Lin Shichu returned home with a group of people. Lin's mother came out of the inner room quickly. While touching Lin Shichu all over, she asked with concern: "Chu'er, nothing happened to you when you went to the Dasheng Temple." Right? If you go out alone, mother will be worried about you. If mother is not ill and can't go out, mother won't worry about you going alone..."
Lin Shichu quickly grabbed him and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm fine, nothing happened. The Great Holy Temple is a Buddhist holy place, how could something happen? Look, didn't I come back fine?"
"It's okay." Lin Mu said happily, "Mom knew you were coming back today, so she specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite braised Sixi meatballs."
"Thank you, Mom, are you really feeling better now? But you have to be careful not to get sick again. Dad and I will be worried." Lin Shichu warned her.
"Mom knows, Chu'er is really Mom's caring little cotton-padded jacket. When your father comes back..." Lin's mother happily chatted with Lin Shichu.
Lin Shichu returned to the inner room with Lin Mu, waved his hands to let the servants go out, and then lowered his voice and said to Lin Mu: "Mom, Qingyu has an affair. She betrayed my whereabouts to outsiders and helped others lie to me. , you should deal with her."
"What? How dare Qingyu betray you?!" Upon hearing this, Mother Lin's gentle voice suddenly became sharp, and then she grabbed her daughter's arm and looked her up and down, "Then are you okay? Are you okay? Wasn't she harmed?"
"Of course not. I've already seen through her, how could something happen? Mom, you're in trouble if you care." Lin Shichu said in a funny voice, "The most important thing now is to deal with Qingyu, the maid who betrayed me. She Big heart."
"That's right, this bitch, how can our family be sorry for her? Since she came to our family, she has been better fed and clothed than girls from ordinary families. She actually dares to betray you!" Lin's mother was so angry that she couldn't bear it. "Our family would not dare to use a maid like this."
Lin Mu quickly ordered people to fill Qingyu with mute medicine and sell it out.
Qingyu was still confused when she was pulled down. She had no idea what was going on. She kept shouting that she was the eldest lady's maid. Who dared to do this to her? The eldest lady will definitely not let her go...so.
But no matter how powerful she is, the fate of the slave who betrayed her master is already doomed. She will never be able to enjoy her old age like the original master in this life.
Lin Shichu dealt with the girl who betrayed her master without even having to take action herself. She didn't think it was too cruel for Lin's mother to make someone mute and sell her.
Qingyu betrayed her master for her own benefit and colluded with outsiders, causing the master's family to suffer a tragic fate. However, she lived a peaceful life on the master's body. You must know that the original master has never been sorry to her, and she can be so harmful to others. , then she will end up like this in this life, just retaliation for retaliation.
Qingyu disappeared after following the young lady back from the Dasheng Temple. The other maids and mothers were very surprised, especially the other maid Qingxue who asked Lin Shichu.
"Miss, why is Qingyu missing? Didn't she come back with the lady?" Qingxue asked doubtfully. She and Qingyu lived and ate together. The two had a good relationship, but Qingxue didn't have as many thoughts as Qingyu.
Lin Shichu smiled and said: "Qingyu, her brothers from her hometown came and said they had collected enough money to redeem her, so they redeemed her. I can't be cruel and prevent her from going home to her parents." Brothers reunited, right?"
Qingyu, like Qingxue, was sold to the Lin family by her parents when she was seven or eight years old. Naturally, she remembered her parents and family. Now that she heard Lin Shichu's words, Qingxue immediately believed it and was very envious: "Qingyu's Her family is so kind to her and they can redeem her..."
Lin Shichu smiled. When Qingyu's parents sold Qingyu, they signed a death deed, and her father was a gambler. How could a gambler save money to redeem his daughter? impossible.
Qingxue envied Qingyu for a while, and then she felt a little depressed when she thought of her parents and family. Although her life in the Lin family was good, she was still a slave and needed to serve others. How could she not want to go home to reunite with her parents and relatives? It's a pity that she probably won't be as lucky as Qingyu to be redeemed.
