Chapter 195: Battle for Kawai Kako
Kawanko?
This was not the medicinal ingredient she needed to regulate her body. Lin Xi stared at the empty medicine bowl on the funeral table.
Madam Lin immediately stood up and comforted Lin Xi, "I'll go out and take a look. It's not a big deal. You stay inside."
Then he said to Xiao Yongyan, "Take good care of Xi'er."
Then, Mrs. Lin followed the nanny and hurried out.
Lin Xi was still worried, fearing there might be something fishy in her mother's bowl of medicine.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Xi quickly followed her mother. Xiao Yongyan was afraid that something might happen to her, so he quickly followed Lin Xi.
But Lin Xi was very familiar with the roads in the mansion, and took Xiao Yongyan from the small path all the way to the edge of the hall.
When the Lin Mansion was first built, the family left a back-up route in various places so that they could escape in case of any situation in the future.
One of the entrances to this escape route is in the living room, so as long as Lin Xi and the others walk to that entrance, they can easily hear everything that happens in the living room.
Xiao Yongyan knew very well that most families would leave such a way out for themselves, and the original Xiao family was no exception.
But now seeing this from the Lin family, he was still a little surprised. This road was built in a very hidden way. If Lin Xi hadn't led him, he would probably not be able to make it here by himself.
Inside the hall.
Mrs. Lin came out and when she saw Mrs. Liu, she felt something was wrong. The other party seemed to be quite unhappy and seemed to be here to call her to task.
"Oh, it's really not easy to meet Mrs. Lin." Mrs. Liu waved her fan with a sour tone.
Mrs. Lin perked up her nerves and said, "How could that be? It's just that my body can't stand the heat, so I walked a little slower."
"Not in good health?" Madam Liu thought about it. It seemed that there had been similar rumors before. "I don't know what's wrong with her. Madam looks fine."
Mrs. Lin listened to Mrs. Liu's words and clearly felt the hostility in them. "It's an old problem that she brought from her mother's womb."
"Really?" Madam Liu squinted at Madam Lin. "I haven't heard enough in all these years. Could it be that your illness must be treated by Chuan Xiangzi?"
Lin Xi's heart paused. It turned out to be all for Chuan Xiangzi. Her guess was correct.
"This," Mrs. Lin knew clearly that Mrs. Liu had only one purpose in coming to her house this time, which was to question her, "the new prescription prescribed by the doctor."
Madam Liu looked Madam Lin up and down. "Madam, your health is not good and you need medicinal herbs to treat it. I can understand that. But isn't it a bit too much to spend a lot of money to reserve Chuan Xiangzi for the next three months?"
God knows how angry Madam Liu was today. She had originally wanted to order the Chuan Xiangzi for her health care. When she heard that the medicine had arrived, she hurried over with her maid. However, she was told that the medicine had already been bought by Madam Lin, who had doubled the price and ordered all the medicine for the next three months.
Liu Mengxi was extremely angry. Although the Lin family had a high status, her Liu family was not inferior to the Queen in that they were closely related to the Queen.
Liu Mengxi couldn't accept the fact that the Lin family had taken the lead for no reason.
When Mrs. Lin was in the store, the clerk told her that the wife of the Liu family had been waiting, but Mrs. Lin knew that Lin Xi would not stay in the capital for a long time, so she could not wait any longer and offered a high price to buy the herbs.
Since they were all doing business, they naturally wanted to make more money, so they sold the medicinal herbs to Mrs. Lin.
"Mrs. Liu, please sit down and have a cup of tea first." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
But Liu Mengxi never bought into this and said bluntly, "I, Liu Mengxi, have drunk all kinds of tea. I'm interested in your tea. Hurry up and give me the Chuan Xiangzi. I won't give you a penny less!"
But Chuan Xiangzi had already been drunk by Lin Xi, so where would Mrs. Lin get the food for Liu Mengxi?
"It's really unfortunate that I have already drunk it." Mrs. Lin said.
Liu Mengxi was extremely angry. This happened just yesterday, and now it’s gone today?
Kawakako is not something that can be used up in one go, and Mrs. Lin is clearly just trying to please her.
"Mrs. Lin, you treat everyone as fools. Who can eat all of Chuan Xiangzi at once?" Liu Mengxi snorted coldly.
Mrs. Lin was surprised and asked, "Is it not possible? Madam, weren't all those cooked yesterday?"
Mammy cooperated and said, "I didn't think too much about it. I thought that if I didn't put all the precious herbs in, the effect might not be good, so I put them all in."
Liu Mengxi has been immersed in the rear palace for many years, and this drama between the master and servant is not enough to watch.
"Okay, stop giving me that shit. The things must still be in your Lin family. Hand them over, or don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Mengxi said angrily.
Mrs. Lin was only thinking about Lin Xi, so she didn't care about Liu Mengxi's feelings. "Mrs. Liu, I bought Chuan Xiangzi with real money, so it should be mine. You come to my house to ask for my things, but I won't give them to you, and you want to make trouble out of nothing. If the news gets out, people will say that your Liu family doesn't know the rules, and you will be laughed at."
Liu Mengxi never knew that Mrs. Lin was so eloquent. She was speechless after just a few words.
"You Lin family, are you bullying my Liu family because we have no one left? If you don't hand over Chuan Xiangzi today and kowtow to me and admit your mistake, I will make sure that your Lin family will never have peace!" Liu Mengxi said fiercely.
Lin Xi was under the floor, and was furious when he heard this. This Liu Mengxi took himself too seriously. He actually relied on the little power in his family to force the Lin family.
"Xi'er, don't worry. Your mother-in-law is very experienced in dealing with these matters." Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi's angry face and comforted her.
Lin Xi felt that what Xiao Yongyan said made sense, and perhaps things were not as bad as she thought.
"Madam Liu," Madam Lin said, "I respect you and call you Madam. Logically, a concubine like you cannot bear the title of Madam. I advise you to say less."
After saying this, Liu Mengxi was extremely angry.
She was a good concubine, but his wife died early, and now Liu Mengxi has to worry about all the affairs in the inner house.
In the end, the woman from the Lin family said that she was not worthy of the title of Madam. She wanted to see who else could bear the title if she couldn't!
At this moment, Lin Xi, who was hiding below, suddenly had an idea and said to Xiao Yongyan, "Do you have any way to invite Lord Liu?"
Xiao Yongyan said, "It's simple. Just ask your second brother for help."
Lin Xi clapped his hands, "Very good."
After saying that, the two of them followed the secret passage back to the study.
Xiao Yongyan called Lin Yunhuan over. When Lin Yunhuan saw Lin Xi's cunning look, he felt that it was definitely not a good thing.
"What are you thinking about, man?"
Lin Xi sat down obediently, "Second brother, I need your help with something."
Lin Yunhuan was frightened by Lin Xi's coquettish voice, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't scare me like this."
