Chapter 125: Spinning around and shaking off Yang Chenchuan's hand
Lin Yuxi was right about one thing though. The Second Wife liked people praising her for her good housekeeping skills the most.
She still didn't understand Lin Yuxi's sarcasm, but was instead immersed in her trap and feeling complacent.
"As a housekeeper, I am not as good as my eldest sister-in-law. That is real ability. But you kids won't understand. You should learn from your elders. I don't know what my second sister-in-law is eating. It smells sour and a little sweet."
The second lady took a deep breath and asked, with a more inquiring look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yuxi.
"It's just the sweet soup I made. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Second Aunt. If you like it, Yuxi will ask the maid to make another bowl for you later."
Lin Yuxi answered before the Second Madam did. If she had known that she would not come to see him for no reason, the Second Madam would have followed her right after she came in. It was not that no one believed the news, but that Lin Yuxi realized that someone had passed the news while she was dealing with the beautiful scenery. It was quite fast.
But she's just cooking next time. Is there any need to be so wary of her, as if you're on guard against something?
Lin Yuxi had made it very clear that the syrup had been eaten up, so if she wanted to eat more, she would have to wait for the next pot. She couldn't insist any longer, so she refused: "No, this one is enough for you. Remember to save one for me next time. Second Aunt wants to taste your cooking skills." She agreed with a smile.
After returning to Tingyuxuan, Lin Yuxi heard shouting and slapping sounds from afar. Not knowing what was going on, she hurried to take a look and saw that the two people being beaten were Caiqing and Cailian.
Lin Yuxi looked up at the sky in silence. She hadn't seen them for a long time and almost forgot about them. Why were they beaten?
Chunlan came over and said, "They blocked my way and flirted with me. I was so angry that I ordered them to be beaten with 20 sticks each."
Lin Yuxi suddenly realized that this was the case. It was all their own fault and they couldn't blame anyone else.
Who knew that Cai Lian saw Lin Yuxi with her sharp eyes, and she shouted loudly and cried bitterly, looking so pitiful. She begged, "Madam, I am your maidservant who came with your dowry. Before I came, Madam clearly stated that I am your concubine. Please save me, ah..."
As she spoke, she struggled to get up. The old woman who was beating her with a stick stopped when she saw Lin Yuxi. Cai Qing and Cai Lian took the opportunity to crawl over and hugged Lin Yuxi's legs.
As they swayed, Lin Yuxi felt dizzy and about to fall. Fortunately, Chunlan was there to support her. Seeing Caiqing and Cailian swaying, Chunlan saw disgust in the eyes of the young mistress. She glanced over and scolded the group of old women who were watching the fun, "They are all dead. Why don't you take them away quickly?"
The maids finally came to their senses and dragged Cai Qing and Cai Lian three or four meters away. Chunlan was busy helping Lin Yuxi tidy up her wrinkled clothes. Cai Qing was still cursing, "You are a jealous woman. It was you who didn't let us get close to the young master. It's you, it's all your fault!"
When Lin Yuxi heard this, her eyes were blazing with fire. Chunlan, who was standing beside her, could not bear to listen any longer: "How shameless! An unmarried woman can even talk about being a concubine. You can imagine how wanton she is. You offended the master and did not repent, and even scolded the young mistress. This crime of insubordination is enough to kill you a hundred times."
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but look at Chunlan twice more, then glanced at Caiqing and Cailian, and snorted coldly: "You also know that you are my maids. When the madam sent you here, she clearly told you that you were well-behaved and polite. Unexpectedly, you were impolite on the first day and angered the young master. The young master took the initiative to punish you, but you didn't reflect on it. Now you are blocking the master's way and angered him again, so you are punished with a stick. It is me, the master, who has harmed you. It really makes me lose face."
Not only did they not listen to Lin Yuxi's words, they continued to curse. She really didn't have the mood to tangle with them. She looked back at them coldly and ordered, "Keep beating them until they shut up."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the house. Just as she finished giving the order, two old women came forward and beat Cai Qing and Cai Lian fiercely without any mercy. For a while, the only sounds in the yard were the sound of the boards and the two women begging for mercy.
"Second sister-in-law."
Before she even stepped into the house, a figure flashed in at the door. Lin Yuxi looked carefully and found that it was Yang Ruozhen. Lin Yuxi hurriedly welcomed her in, "It's Ruozhen. Why did you have time to look for me today?"
Yang Ruozhen glanced at Caiqing and Cailian timidly, her face turning pale. Lin Yuxi didn't know why she was there, so she took her hand and went into the house.
After a while, Yang Ruozhen finally returned to normal. He looked at Lin Yuxi and laughed: "Second sister-in-law, how did the two of them irritate Second Brother? They deserved to be beaten. But Second sister-in-law is also very powerful."
Lin Yuxi held her forehead with her hands. What was so great about beating up two maids? But seeing her laughing, she also laughed along before asking, "What do you want to see me for today?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I just thought that I had never played with my second sister-in-law, so I came here specially today. Second sister-in-law, you are really awesome. Do you know how many people your cotton medicine bags have helped?" As he said this, he looked at Lin Yuxi with admiration.
Lin Yuxi's mouth twitched and she smiled weakly.
"Second sister-in-law, how did you come up with such a great idea? I heard that you are good at business, right? The news has spread all over Yingshan City. Hehe, I heard this from my mother. She praised you highly."
"Second sister-in-law, if you have time, please teach me. My mother always says that I am stupid and don't know anything. I can only embroider and play the piano every day. It's really discouraging."
In this way, Yang Ruozhen chattered for half an hour, during which Lin Yuxi did not say a word. She was the one talking from beginning to end, and she was talking happily without even realizing it.
After finally sending this little god away and preparing the meal in the kitchen, Lin Yuxi went to the study to find Yang Chenchuan.
The door was not locked, Lin Yuxi walked in directly, Yang Chenchuan put down the book immediately when he saw her coming, and smiled at her, but that smile was a little unnatural. Lin Yuxi narrowed her eyes, as if she had done something wrong and was caught, there was something fishy.
"Is the matter settled?"
She knew he was referring to Cai Qing Cai Lian, so she hummed in response.
"It's time for lunch." Lin Yuxi reminded him. Upon hearing that, Yang Chenchuan immediately stood up and pulled Lin Yuxi out, shouting that he was starving.
Lin Yuxi was not willing to let him go so easily. From her observation, she got some information. She put down the book as soon as she came in. She looked at her with some embarrassment. Could it be that he was hiding something from her?
She cast her eyes on the book on the table. The answer should be there. She turned around, shook off Yang Chenchuan's hand, and quickly picked up the book.
Pat--
Another book fell out, Yang Chenchuan was startled and immediately went to pick it up, but she got there first. She couldn't wait to open it, and when she took a look, her face flushed. She quickly closed it and threw it into Yang Chenchuan's arms, cursing, "Shameless."
Then, she stomped her feet and walked forward. The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. She was actually looking at pornographic pictures in the study. Men really weren’t good people. Yang Chenchuan put away the book, followed her and pulled her over. He said with a smile, "My wife, let's get married tonight."
