Chapter 340 What Brother Yun Taught

Lin Yuesha was grateful for the pockmarked man's thoughtfulness, and felt a sense of relief, knowing she didn't have to make the trip herself.

In the past, she might have been a little disappointed to miss a good opportunity to meet the pockmarked man, but now, the pockmarked man is just a stranger she has some connection with.

"These are pieces of jewelry sent by the jewelry store. Please take a look."

Qingxing took out an exquisitely carved box from the drawer. Inside the box, wrapped in bright red silk, was a set of hairpins and rings, all designed and made by Lin Yuesha herself in the shape of sunflowers.

Lin Yuesha liked it very much, and the sunflower was also a fitting name for her cousin Chen Xiaohua.

"Qingxing, do you think it's okay for me to give these as gifts?"

Lin Yuesha was very generous; she even wanted to give her something more valuable, especially now that she had money. Next year, when she went to the capital, the journey would be long and arduous, and it would be difficult to see Chen Xiaohua again.

If a woman marries into a more prestigious family, she might receive different treatment in the Xiao family; at least the Xiao family wouldn't dare to bully Chen Xiaohua.

“Miss, I think this gift is already valuable enough.”

After thinking for a moment, Qingxing said truthfully, "Your cousin married into an ordinary merchant family. If we give her too expensive a dowry, she might attract unwanted attention."

You can know a person's face but not their heart. It's best to be wary of men about how many secrets a woman truly has. That way, she can buy or purchase things privately without being watched.

"If you would like to express your gratitude further, then take out one hundred taels of silver privately, without putting it on the books, and give it to your cousin as a secret stash of money."

Seeing that Lin Yuesha wanted to give her more money, Qingxing quickly said, "Miss, you must understand that sometimes having too much money can bring trouble."

Do what you can, and know when to stop.

Lin Yuesha felt that Qingxing's words made sense. As expected of someone from the capital, she was quite farsighted even as a servant. She herself had never had any experience in interpersonal relationships, so she might as well listen to other people's opinions.

Liu Quan had the carriage ready, and Xiao Qi opened the door, preparing to help his younger sister into the carriage, when a scarred-faced man suddenly appeared at the door.

"Are you Gu Yi?"

Lin Yuesha had bought it herself, so she vaguely remembered it. Gu Yi and the strongman siblings went to the estate with Jiang Baozhu.

"Miss, this is a congratulatory gift from Miss Jiang."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he handed over a purse, which Qing Xing accepted immediately.

Look at that scarred face, he's skilled in martial arts, but I don't know why he willingly sold himself out, and Lin Yuesha even ran into him.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent; this person is no ordinary individual.

"Sister Baozhu found out too?"

Lin Yuesha suddenly realized that Chen Xiaohua and Jiang Baozhu were also acquainted, and the servants must have notified them together when they went to the estate.

"Where's Sister Baozhu? Why didn't she come?"

Lin Yuesha looked left and right, but couldn't see Jiang Baozhu. She sighed, realizing that everyone at the girls' school was so stressed that they had completely forgotten about Jiang Baozhu.

"Being in mourning, Miss Jiang is unable to come, so she sent me to deliver the congratulatory gift and convey her sentiments."

Gu Yi saw that the things had been delivered and did not linger.

Xiao Qi stared at Gu Yi's figure, his mind slightly focused.

"Big brother, were you scared by Gu Yi?"

Seeing that her elder brother hadn't gotten on the carriage yet, Lin Yuesha hurriedly urged him. Gu Yi was the one she had bought. He was tall and strong, and his face was disfigured. At the time, the man with yellow teeth had tried his best to fool her, but she thought it was a good purchase.

"Oh, yes."

Xiao Qi was lost in thought and didn't pay any attention to what his little sister said. He just casually agreed.

Lin Yuesha was also surprised. She had just asked casually, but she didn't expect her stepbrother to be afraid of Gu Yi's appearance.

"Brother, you are a scholar, you should know that you can't judge a book by its cover."

Lin Yuesha stared at Xiao Qi, deciding to correct her stepbrother's superficial judgment of appearance. Even if he did judge people by their appearance, he shouldn't honestly admit it.

"Gu Yi's appearance is actually not bad. If it weren't for the scar, he would probably be handsome, not too scary. Look at Brother Yun, his face is covered in pockmarks, but I don't see you showing any prejudice against him!"

Lin Yuesha compared Gu Yi and the pockmarked face in her mind and finally concluded that Gu Yi was better looking.

"puff……"

Qingxing couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Only Miss could make fun of his disguise in front of the master.

Xiao Qi was speechless. The little girl was quite good at making comparisons and even lectured him seriously. However, since he admitted it himself, he couldn't refute it.

Xiao Qi took a deep breath. He couldn't just slap his own little sister; otherwise, one slap would send her flying.

"Gu Yi is really better looking."

Lin Yuesha, fearless of death, added that she still believed her aesthetic sense was quite good.

Xiao Qi: ...

To save time, the brother and sister boarded the carriage. Qingxing and Qi'er prepared some snacks and sat awkwardly to one side, trying to minimize their presence.

The only one who couldn't sense the Lord's terrifying aura was the young lady.

Lin Yuesha assumed the two women were too shy to be around men and had no suspicions whatsoever. She then recounted her experiences at the girls' school, a story too complicated to tell in a few words.

“Miss, you did a good job. Those two sisters should be taught a lesson.”

Qi'er almost cheered, thinking that it would be great if she were watching from the girls' school. It would be very exciting if the young lady tricked the Li sisters and made them bleed.

"Even if I don't take the initiative, the two of them won't let me go."

Lin Yuesha tapped the table. She was just too lazy to think about it. There were many difficulties in front of her. She would solve them if she could, and leave them if she couldn't. She was used to being idle.

"Then let's devise a plan to get the two of them kicked out, so they won't be an eyesore to you."

Qingxing meant that she could come up with a plan to expel the Li sisters from the girls' school.

"Why go through all that trouble?"

Lin Yuesha shook her head. She didn't want to confront people directly. If possible, it would be best to use someone else to do the dirty work, which would be easier and less troublesome. She would be responsible for stirring up trouble, while the task of eliminating dissidents would be left to others.

Qingxing:......

It is said that one becomes like the company one keeps. The young lady and the master live under the same roof. The master pretends to be a nice guy, but it has not affected the young lady at all. On the contrary, he is cunning and scheming. The young lady has learned a lot from him.

That's exactly it—using someone else to do the dirty work, watching from the sidelines—it's so underhanded!

"Little sister, this is not right."

Xiao Qi twitched his lips, putting on his image as a kind old man, "Even if they bully you, don't take it too seriously, you should be kind."

"Once upon a time, there was a very kind chicken."

Lin Yuesha looked at her stepson and nodded seriously.

"Then what?"

Xiao Qi sensed a hidden meaning in Lin Yuesha's words, "How is the kind chicken?"

"That's it, the chicken was eaten by the weasel."

Lin Yuesha spread her hands, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Qi.

What's with all this talk about being kind to others and influencing people? She's not a bodhisattva. Whoever makes her unhappy, she'll keep making them unhappy. It's that simple.

"Brother, all of this was taught to me by our savior, Brother Yun."

Lin Yuesha brought up her pockmarked face, hoping that her stepbrother would have less reason to object.

Xiao Qi noticed that his two subordinates were struggling to suppress their laughter. He let out a long breath and looked out the car window, his face stinging!
