Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 120 2 The Young Madam Is an Easy Person to Control

Back at Tingyu Pavilion, Lin Yuxi asked the servants to prepare water for Yang Chenchuan to take a bath. She went to the kitchen again and told Cuiping and Chunlan to scoop saltpeter to make ice. She made ice with the cantaloupe sent by the second wife. When it was almost frozen, she personally brought it to Yang Chenchuan. Yang Chenchuan had just finished taking a shower and saw the sugar water she brought. He smiled with his eyebrows and eyes curved.

"You did it?" Yang Chenchuan asked.

"Yes! It's been frozen." Lin Yuxi nodded and put the bowl in front of him. He didn't hesitate to scoop a mouthful and put it in his mouth. He felt as if he was surrounded by ice and snow. The heat was swept away and his whole body was shocked.

Then he scooped another mouthful and passed it to Lin Yuxi's mouth. "Here, have a bite too."

Lin Yuxi's ears blushed. This spoon was the one he had just used to eat, and he actually asked her to eat his saliva. She pouted and turned her head away, not looking at him or opening her mouth.

Yang Chenchuan suddenly laughed, and said in a rude manner: "We've already kissed each other, are you still shy about taking a sip of sugar water?"

Lin Yuxi was embarrassed again. He was right. They had already kissed each other and swallowed a lot of saliva. So, what was left? But she just felt awkward! She angrily spit in his face: "Shut up and eat your sweet soup." After saying that, she hurried out. Someone's hearty laughter came from behind.

When she returned to the room, Cuiping brought her a bowl of sweet water to relieve the heat. After Lin Yuxi took two sips, most of the heat was gone.

Cuiping glanced around, then leaned close to Lin Yuxi and whispered, "Today, Sister Meijing went to the eldest lady's courtyard. Madam Sun was talking to the maidservant next to the second lady by the lake. When she turned around, I saw that she had a purse in her hand. She looked very happy."

Lin Yuxi frowned when she heard this. They dared to report the news when they were still in the mansion. What if she and Yang Chenchuan were not there? They really didn't take her seriously.

"They won't harm you, will they?" Cuiping saw her frowning and was worried. She couldn't help asking, and then said, "Young Madam has been in the mansion for three days, but she hasn't established her authority yet. Even the maid who sweeps the yard says that your parents don't support you, saying that you are an easy target and don't have the dignity of a mistress at all."

When she heard them talking, she just wanted to laugh. Is the young mistress an easy person to manipulate?

No dignity of a mistress at all?

During the time when the master fell off the cliff, the entire Lin family's business was controlled by the young mistress. She collected all the maliciously overdue accounts without missing a single one. Her shrewdness and charm were unmatched by many men.

Lin Yuxi was also speechless, those little maids were really used to being bullied, if she didn't establish her authority, they would treat her as a soft persimmon that everyone wanted to bully. No wonder they had such speculations. On the day of her wedding, she was framed by her younger sister and almost couldn't get married. On the first day of her marriage, there were rumors that the couple was not getting along and Yang Chenchuan overturned the table. Although their relationship improved a lot later, they still hadn't consummated their marriage. No matter what the reason was, as long as they didn't consummate their marriage, they would be looked down upon.

In ancient times, the influence of a woman's family was very important, and directly affected her status in her husband's family. Although the people in her husband's family were not too difficult, she would have already lost face in her family, and it was unknown how bad the rumors would be in private.

If the master loses face, the maid will also suffer. Lin Yuxi gently patted Cuiping's head and said, "I'm sorry to let you suffer with me."

Cuiping's eyes were red, and she shook her head and said, "We are not wronged, but you, Madam..."

As long as they see the second young lady and the second young master living happily, they will not feel any grievances. They know that their master treats them well, so what does it matter if they suffer some gossip? Besides, it is not the case at all.

Lin Yuxi knew that they were concerned about her, and her heart couldn't help but warm up, "You are the people I trust the most, it's good to have you around."

Cui Ping sighed, "But Madam, this mansion is complicated. Even the servants dared to spread the news. We are really worried..."

Lin Yuxi raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Cuiping, "Are you worried about the people in this yard?"

Cuiping nodded. The second girl was always smart, and she guessed what she meant without her having to say it.

"Sister Liangchen is the young master's personal maid. You have only been here for a few days and you don't allow them to serve the young master closely. She must be angry. The servants have noticed that they haven't smiled in the past few days and spend most of the day staring blankly at the door of the inner room."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had some ulterior motives, but those maids were all old-timers in the yard, and they couldn't just kick everyone out of the yard, otherwise those people wouldn't know how to frame the young mistress, and would definitely say that she had no tolerance for others. But keeping them around like this would always make them feel uncomfortable, and they would be restrained in doing things.

Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "You are quite observant. No matter how many servants there are in this courtyard, as long as they are not close to us, we don't have to worry about them leaking our secrets. We can't drive them away, but we can't let them serve in the house. After all, I am the mistress of this courtyard. Even if they are angry, they dare not express it openly. At most, they will say a few words of jealousy in their hearts. But you have to be very alert these days and have evidence for everything. Find out who is not following the rules. Then I will naturally find a way to drive them away."

They were just a few maids. She didn't need to get angry with them. Lin Yuxi was puzzled. Yang Chenchuan was not an easy person to control. Why was the yard so messy? It seemed that she had to take care of it for him.

I don't know what the purpose of the first and second wives is. They try every means to get information about them. Is it just to get information, or is there some other conspiracy?

She was puzzled and didn't know whether it was directed at her or Yang Chenchuan. She had only been in this garden for three days.

"After you go down, compile a list of the people who have received cotton medicine bags in the past two days, and also record the number of people who have received them, regardless of whether they have come for the day or not."

The Second Madam said directly that the maid had indeed had effect after using the medicine bag. Now only Tingyuxuan has cotton medicine bags for distribution. The scope is temporarily set to Tingyuxuan. The number of bags used by each person is recorded, and it is clear at a glance how many tablets have been used and how many bags are left. As long as she follows this line of investigation, she doesn't believe that she can't find the person.

"Yes!" Cuiping nodded.
