Chapter 9 Lin Daiyu: I am so embarrassed to be called baby again

The original plan was to return home on three days, but Shen Ajiao had forgotten about it at all. Lin Ruhai sent a letter, thinking that someone from the Shen family would come to blame him, but he didn't expect to receive a reply until that evening.

Lin Daiyu was also puzzled. Ever since she had listened to the new wife's thoughts, she knew that she was an interesting person. Why was the Shen family different?

"Hey, have you heard? The Shen family didn't even have a little grandmother coming today."

"Yes, everyone says that Miss Shen is favored at home. I'm afraid she spread it herself."

"I think so too. Look at how she pretends to be. It turns out she is a ..."

…

"What are you talking about? Tell me what you are talking about."

Lin Daiyu was just about to visit Shen Ajiao when she saw several maids and old women gathered together in a small cluster of flowers outside her courtyard. She found that they were not so bored at all. The little maids gathered together just to talk, have fun, and talk about random things.

But she heard it. She hated people who gossiped about others behind their backs. It turned out that their family had implicated the new wife, and the new wife didn't care, but these servants gossiped about others behind their backs.

"Ah, young lady." The maids turned around and saw Daiyu and a few others looking at them with cold faces. They were so frightened that they couldn't get up from their knees.

Daiyu didn't waste any more words. She pointed at one of the younger maids and said, "Who told you that just now? If you don't want to tell me, get out of the house."

The little maidservant had been in the mansion for only two months. She was originally from a poor family. Because she was pretty, she was sold into the mansion. The first time she saw the girl of the master's family, she was embarrassed because of gossip. She immediately blushed, twisted the corner of her clothes nervously, and stammered, "Yes, it's Sister Zhiling."

Zhi Ling, who was named by the maid, quickly crawled out on his knees, crying, "Miss, please spare my life. I heard it from the gatekeeper, Madam Zhang."

"Grandma Zhang?"

Lin Daiyu chewed on this name, looked at the six maids and servants kneeling in front of her, and snorted coldly, "Go down, each of you will be fined two months' salary, if you do it again, you will be packed up and kicked out of the house."

After saying this, Daiyu didn't care about the other person and called an old lady over, "Who is this Madam Zhang?"

The grandmother who was invited was originally from the old nursing home where Lin Ruhai's biological mother lived. After the old lady passed away, she retired due to her old age and was taken back by her children and grandchildren to be taken care of. Now the Lin family was in a troubled time and there was no one available, so Lin Ruhai had to personally invite a few grandmothers to come back and put them by Daiyu's side to teach her.

It turned out that Daiyu saw people gossiping and didn't want to intervene, but it was this Aunt Lin who reminded her, which led to the scene just now.

"It's from somewhere else. I dare not say more, but I know it clearly."

Daiyu then realized that the Madam Zhang the servant had been talking about was a woman bought from the outside when her mother was still alive, and who later married a steward in her mother's companion's room. Because she was strong and capable, she came to her mother and was placed in the gatehouse. At first, the old lady had a conflict with her mother because of this, saying that the gatehouse had always been the first line of defense in the family and how could it be handed over to someone else so easily.

Daiyu is still young and has barely been out of the house, so how could she know any Grandma Zhang? Now that she is talking like this, it is quite interesting. Seeing Daiyu in deep thought, Grandma Lin suggested, "Miss, why don't we..."

Lin Daiyu chewed on Grandma Lin's words, slowly pondering the meaning of them. Suddenly, her heart tightened, "Grandma, go and catch that old woman Zhang."

Grandma Lin smiled slightly, "Don't worry, young lady. Those gossipers have been taken away by the old man's people. That old lady Zhang can't escape either."

Lin Daiyu was relieved, a little frustrated, "Grandma, don't you think I'm stupid? I can't do anything right."

Grandma Lin sighed in her heart. The girl was indeed very smart, but without anyone to teach her, she made many mistakes in everything she did. The old lady wanted to take the girl to her side to educate her, but the old lady was unwilling.

It would have been fine if the first wife had experience and education, but she was ill every three days and seriously ill every other day. The girl had to take care of her by her bedside all the time, but not only did she not teach her, she was also sad all the time.

"The young lady was weak in health before, and was not suitable for these things. Now she is getting better, and she can manage these things very well." Grandma Lin did not want to undermine the young lady's confidence, so she found an excuse for Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was full of bitterness. Of course she didn't understand. It turned out that Grandma Wang was deliberately misleading her, saying that these were servants' affairs and she didn't need to learn any trivial things. She just needed to read books and write. Since she was not a new lady, she probably was still kept in the dark.

After her father's advice that day, she gradually became more open-minded. Although she made some efforts, it was not enough after all. If Grandma Lin and her father were not here today, those gossipers would have informed Grandma Zhang long ago. By the time she reacted, the place would have been empty.

When Shen Ajiao saw Lin Daiyu coming back with eyes full of sorrow, she suddenly remembered

Yin Zheng's exclusive bgm

[Snowflakes are flying, the north wind is blowing, and the sky is bleak...]

Lin Daiyu: The new wife is quite nice. Her words are neat and original, but they seem out of tune.

Shen A-Jiao secretly asked her grandmother who came with her, and she told him everything bit by bit.

[It turns out to be just these little things. I thought it was a big deal. ]

Lin Daiyu: There is no such thing as a small matter here!

[There are thousands of people who are thieves, but there are no thousands of people who can guard against thieves. This really makes it difficult for our Lin Baobao. 】

He asked someone to bring him a book and started reading it by himself, exclaiming from time to time, "It's really interesting.

Wow, so that's how it is.

If you don’t tell me, I really won’t know.”

Oh my god, it's actually possible? This is incredible!"

…

Although Lin Daiyu was depressed, she was still paying attention to the new wife's movements. When she heard the new wife calling her Lin Baobao in her heart, she felt a little embarrassed. It would be too shameful to get entangled in such a way.

【Aren't you curious about what you are watching? 】

【Don't you want to know what 놖 is praising? 】

[Come here, Lin Baobao, I will kneel down and beg you if you don’t force me.]

Lin Daiyu: This baby is so embarrassing. She is not a baby, she is already grown up.

She had already finished reading the "Strategies of the Warring States, Strategies of Chu" in the new wife's hand, and she clearly remembered what it was about. Listening to the new wife's constant exclamations, she couldn't help but move closer, wanting to know which page she was talking about.

"It is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep is lost~" These few big words were specially marked by Shen Ajiao. Lin Daiyu felt warm in her heart. I think the new wife was comforting her.

"Thank you ma'am for your advice."

“But you didn’t say anything?” He blinked his big innocent eyes, as if innocent.

[Ahhh, let's just consider this as your reward for speaking up for 놖]

[Smart baby, smart baby~hiss, hiss.]

Lin Daiyu: So embarrassing~ I cover my face and groan~
