Chapter 581 Fools Have Fool's Luck
Lin Yuesha lingered around Lin Yue'e's place for a while and got five sets of custom-made dresses from Jinxiulou. She left satisfied, but before leaving, she turned back to say goodbye to Lin Yue'e and found that Lin Yue'e was clutching her chest, looking very pained.
"Sister, please thank Madam for your sister, and don't forget."
Lin Yuesha chuckled inwardly and added insult to injury.
Once everyone had left the courtyard, Lin Yue'e finally couldn't hold back any longer. In a fit of anger, she swept the teapot, teacups, and fruit plate off the table. Seeing the porcelain shatter into pieces with a crisp sound, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
If Lin Yuesha were porcelain, she would really like to pinch every inch of Lin Yuesha's bones and hear the crisp sound.
"Miss, please calm down. Why bother arguing with a country bumpkin!"
Seeing that her young mistress was furious, Pipa quickly comforted her, "Lin Yuesha was born in the countryside and has limited knowledge. People like her love to take advantage of others. She may not have meant to upset you; she's just a fool."
Arguing with a fool will only make you angry and is not worth it.
"Pipa, look at Lin Yuesha's behavior, it's utterly shameful!"
Lin Yue'e sat in the chair, her heart still aching; she was angry.
If word gets out, her girlfriends might laugh at her. They always put her first, but now they're not sending her invitations anymore. They're probably gossiping about her behind her back.
Lin Yue'e is paranoid; she believes that what she thinks is the truth.
"Oh dear, who can say that about you? You haven't even cleaned up your own mess yet."
Speaking of Lin Yuesha, Pipa was also furious, but it was the master's fault. The two looked so alike that she couldn't bring herself to fabricate a story that Lin Yuesha wasn't the master's daughter.
"That's true."
Pipa's words struck a chord with Lin Yue'e. Yes, the Qin family had been quiet lately, and Qin Nanyan was under house arrest, probably living a rather miserable life.
Lin Yue'e pursed her lips when Qin Nanyan was mentioned. It's not that being old makes you smart. Qin Nanyan always thought she was clever, but she still got completely fooled by her.
"Miss, what did you see at the flower viewing banquet at the Prince's mansion that day?"
Pipa hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask the secret anyway. That day, she and Qin Nanyan's maid were waiting nearby, some distance from the waterside pavilion.
Pipa was curious after hearing that Yu Gongzi's disguise made him unrecognizable. She had never met Yu Gongzi before, and of course, she didn't want to. The mention of the pregnant woman case in the capital made her very scared.
"My cousin was behind me that day."
The teapot was broken, and there was no water to drink. Lin Yue'e pursed her lips, lost in thought for a moment. She didn't want to recall what had happened that day.
“My cousin resents me because I didn’t stand up for her and share the blame from Madam Zhuang. However, she doesn’t know that I saved her life.”
Lin Yue'e didn't want to talk about these things, but seeing that Qin Nanyan's misunderstanding of her was getting bigger and bigger, to the point that the Qin family had a problem with her mother, Lin Yue'e still wanted to repair the relationship.
"You mean..."
Pipa's pupils dilated, and she asked in horror, "You saw it?"
"I guess so."
At that time, she was peeking through the window when she saw Young Master Yu pulling Fang Shi inside the gauze curtains. Young Master Yu was dressed as a woman, so Lin Yue'e was unaware that there was a man inside.
"I grabbed my cousin and ran away because I saw the dagger in Young Master Yu's hand."
Lin Yue'e assumed it was a feud between women and that it was better to avoid trouble. She couldn't possibly step forward to call for help; what if she failed to save someone and ended up getting herself killed? Compared to others, her life was far more precious.
So she pulled Qin Nanyan away. She really didn't see the purse before leaving, otherwise she would have reminded her.
It wasn't that she cared too much about Qin Nanyan, but rather that she didn't want to be implicated.
"Miss, Sister Yuli is here."
A maidservant came to deliver a message at the gate. Yu Li was Qin Nanyan's trusted maidservant and often visited the mansion.
"Really? Let her in quickly."
Lin Yue'e perked up and instructed her maids to tidy up the room, making sure to clean up the broken porcelain shards thoroughly. "Yu Li has excellent eyesight, so be careful not to let her find out."
Anyway, family scandals should not be aired in public. Qin Nanyan must not find out that she lost her mind because of Lin Yuesha.
“But Miss… Sister Yuli went to Miss Yuesha’s courtyard.”
The little girl shrank back and said bluntly, "I didn't come here to see you."
"What?"
Lin Yue'e immediately became furious and wanted to smash things, but the teacup had already been smashed to pieces, and there was nothing left to smash.
"Go and find out what Yu Li is looking for Lin Yuesha for. Could it be that the two of them are doing something behind my back?"
Lin Yue'e understands Qin Nanyan. If Qin Nanyan has a deep misunderstanding of her, she might actually take the initiative to befriend Lin Yuesha out of spite.
She walked around the room with her hands behind her back. She had been waiting for Qin Nanyan to come over, but it seemed she had to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible and not let Lin Yuesha take advantage of the situation.
After waiting a moment, the little maid came running back, panting, and this time she had a smile on her face. She said, "I found out that Miss Biao has invited a few of her usual girlfriends to the Qin residence to visit and asked Miss Yue Sha to cook some desserts."
Therefore, it wasn't that the two were on good terms, but rather that they were discussing business.
"What?"
Lin Yue'e was still very angry. Lin Yuesha was her older sister outside, and it was shameful for the Lin family to have her serve others outside. She would definitely go to her father to complain after her father finished his business today!
After waiting for a while, Lin Yue'e was puzzled when Yu Li still didn't come to invite her.
When visiting the Qin residence, shouldn't she be the first to be invited? Why hasn't there been any news yet? Could it be that Yu Li has forgotten?
Lin Yue'e once again sent a maid to deliver a message, and finally learned that Yu Li had informed Old Madam Lin and her mother, and then took Lin Yuesha directly back to the Qin residence to prepare ingredients for the night, so they were staying overnight.
Lin Yue'e: ...My cousin is holding a grudge against her and is excluding her!
Lin Yuesha had already packed up and left the Lin family. Even if it was another den of dragons and tigers, it was better than going to jail. Besides, she was much safer in the Qin family.
"Hey, my cousin is no ordinary person, but judging from your rosy complexion, you probably haven't suffered any bad luck."
Qin Nanyan sat in the carriage waiting. When she saw Lin Yuesha looking so happy, she touched her cheek. This big fool is so happy to see her?
"My sister is doing well."
Lin Yuesha hummed a little tune. She had received five sets of clothes today. Since she had taken their money, she decided not to speak ill of Lin Yue'e for the time being.
"Maybe you're just lucky despite being a fool."
Lin Yuesha's smile was too dazzling, and Qin Nanyan felt awkward again, turning her head away sharply. "She's cunning and even tricked me, her cousin. You'd better be careful."
"So, that's why you didn't invite her? Aren't you afraid of incurring Lin Yue'e's wrath?"
Lin Yuesha rolled her eyes. Lin Yue'e was not one to sit idly by and wait for death; she would definitely try her best to repair this relationship.
