Chapter 293 Rectification
Lin Yuesha was quite satisfied with what she had just heard, but after digesting it, she realized what had happened and asked, "Since even the Qin family doesn't know, how did you find out?"
This was what surprised Lin Yuesha the most; Qingxing, that maid, was no ordinary person.
"Of course I have my own sources of information. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you."
Qingxing revealed a little bit, but couldn't say more, since the master was still just an alias.
"Could it be that you're one of Brother Yun's men?"
Lin Yuesha was lost in thought. The only person who was kind to her, actively helped her, and appeared when she was in her most difficult time was Pockmarked Face.
She racked her brains but couldn't think of anyone else.
Since the two spent time alone in the cabin in the mountains, and after the pockmarked man infiltrated the barbarian tribe to rescue people, Lin Yuesha trusted him even more.
If it were someone else, they might have ulterior motives, but the pockmarked man wouldn't; he doesn't covet money or sex.
Lin Yuesha sometimes wondered how she could be so lucky to have met such a kind person, yet she had nothing to give back to them.
If being a pawn could repay him, she would be willing to do so.
But who exactly was the pockmarked man? He didn't say, and she didn't ask. Knowing too many secrets meant a quick death.
"My young lady is too smart!" Qingxing was taken aback. She had uncovered her master's true identity so quickly.
"Miss, is that Brother Yun the one with the pockmarked face who catches fish and hunts wild boars?"
Bai Cha interjected in confusion, recalling that the young lady seemed to refer to the pockmarked face in that way.
Qingxing: "..."
The Lord is a man no one can fathom. He has such tastes; he either likes young girls who haven't fully grown up or he likes to dress up with pockmarked faces. No wonder Bai Ying called him a beast.
But as a subordinate, well, as long as the master is happy, that's all that matters.
"I guess so."
After Qingxing finished speaking, Lin Yuesha had no doubts at all; on the contrary, she was very happy.
From then on, if I wanted to see Pockmarked Face, I wouldn't need to go through my older brother; I could just ask Qingxing and Qi'er to pass on the message.
“My older brother is too honest, so I really don’t want to get him involved.”
Upon learning that she could contact the pockmarked man, Lin Yuesha immediately felt much more at ease, experiencing a sense of inner peace.
Qingxing: "..."
The lord is such a good actor; she simply doesn't know what to say.
"Qingxing, are you saying that Granny Lin is having an affair with the manager of Gaosheng Inn?"
Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue. "Granny Lin has just arrived in the North and isn't even from here. She's too quick to act. Doesn't she know how to be more reserved?"
"That's nothing. Granny Lin even made advances on the servants of the Lin household, taking advantage of them."
Qingxing didn't bother to say anything unpleasant, but that's just the kind of person Lin Mama was. She was being frank so that her young lady could better understand that old woman.
The old woman had a particular fondness for fair-skinned, bookish men, and she would exchange flirtatious glances with them whenever she saw them.
"Then could you please ask Granny Lin to stop coming to our house?"
Lin Yuesha trembled. Her father, Xiao Chenggui, and her stepbrother, Xiao Qi, were both fair-skinned scholars. What if they caught the eye of Granny Lin…
Qingxing: "..."
"Then how do we deal with Granny Lin?"
Lin Yuesha was eager to try. She was an experienced person. Back then, she and Zhang Qing'er teamed up to mess with Lin Qian in the inn, playing tricks and causing trouble. It was so satisfying.
Now that she has a new goal, it's a good way to spice up her recent boring life.
"I've heard that the innkeeper's wife is a shrew. We'll wait for Granny Lin and the innkeeper to have their tryst, then send the message to the shrew and have her go there..."
In short, it's all about catching adulterers.
I see. Lin Yuesha is familiar with this procedure as well; she did it at the temporary residence of the Prince of Zhenbei.
The plan involved Xuan Yao and He Xing, and the attack hit them squarely.
It's best to steal their clothes while they're flirting, so you don't have to worry about them denying it later.
However, now that Granny Lin is living in the prefect's residence, the only way she can see the shopkeeper is at night when he is on night duty.
The three of them, master and servants, strolled around the estate and returned to the manor, by which time it was already dark.
"Miss, you're finally back."
When Qi'er saw Lin Yuesha, she looked at her with some concern. Finding that she was alright, she angrily said, "You have no idea what that old woman was talking nonsense about today!"
"What did you say?"
Qingxing let Qi'er go inside first, knowing that Granny Lin had ill intentions.
"As soon as Miss left today, Granny Lin asked me about Miss's daily life."
On the surface, Qingxing and Qi'er were sent by Granny Lin to monitor Lin Yuesha. Qi'er would casually talk nonsense and make up some bad things to make Granny Lin lower her guard.
"Who knew that Granny Lin came to me saying that we couldn't let Miss go to the capital so easily. So, she came up with an idea."
If Lin Yuesha returns to the capital like this, she will be somewhat out of control. If we can find her weaknesses and vulnerabilities, we can use threats and inducements to control her.
Granny Lin didn't sleep all night, and after much thought, she came up with an idea to ruin Lin Yuesha's reputation.
Thus, to keep the secret, Lin Yuesha had no choice but to obey. For a woman who had lost her virginity to marry a paralyzed young master from a wealthy family was not a bad match.
Anyway, that young master is already impotent, so entering the house means living a life of widowhood, and whether he is chaste or not is irrelevant.
"I'm not surprised."
Qingxing narrowed her eyes. Anyone who dared to scheme against the master would face far more than just punishment from Granny Lin.
Since they'll be in the north for a while anyway, they might as well take it slow and slowly torture Granny Lin.
However, Qingxing suggested that they should not alert the enemy, since Granny Lin trusted the two of them, and it would be troublesome if she found anything unusual.
"Miss, how could this old hag be so capable!"
Bai Cha was shocked. Although she was composed, she had never seen such a person before. If her young lady was tricked, she might really be threatened by Granny Lin and Madam Qin in the future.
It's not about bringing Miss back to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury; judging from this, the Lin family mansion in the capital is a den of dragons and tigers!
"This is nothing."
Lin Yuesha remained calm. Too many people had schemed against her. Bai Cha still needed more experience. In the future, when she encountered someone like Granny Lin, she should not even flinch. That would be what made her a qualified maid.
"Qingxing, you need to find out where the shrew lives."
If you want to discipline Granny Lin, even a warning would be helpful.
"Miss, leave this little matter to me."
Qingxing patted her chest, looking confident. If she wanted to scheme against Granny Lin, she would succeed. That old hag was too bullying; it would be good to embarrass her.
Lin Mama has always wanted to find a weakness in Lin Yuesha to set a trap. It would be better for us to strike first and have something on Lin Mama. Maybe in the future, when we come to the Lin family, we can use Lin Mama.
Don't underestimate this person; he can play a crucial role in critical moments.
"Granny Lin sent someone back to the capital to deliver the message. They won't be back for a month or two, so there's no rush."
Lin Yuesha deeply felt that Qingxing's words made sense. It seemed that having a clever maid by one's side was indeed very important.
