Chapter 356 Reminder
Having already broken off relations, Li Ruoxue became even more reckless. In any case, she had no reputation now, and Zhao Fendie had always been at odds with her. Everything that happened tonight would be spread by Zhao Fendie anyway.
Her father and Zhao Fundie's father were colleagues in Yingcheng, so Li Ruoxue was not without scruples.
"So what if it is? If it weren't for you..."
Li Ruoxue was so angry she couldn't speak, but Li Ruoshuang cried, "Lin Yuesha, if it weren't for you, my sister and I wouldn't have been so humiliated. How can we ever face anyone again?"
"So you hired someone to slash my face, so I'd be too ashamed to show my face to anyone because of you two?"
Lin Yuesha's eyes remained calm and indifferent as she looked at the Li sisters.
For some reason, even though the words didn't carry a strong accusatory tone, Li Ruoshuang still couldn't help but shrink back. To show her strength, she sneered, "So what if it is? Even if you have evidence, you can't do anything to us sisters."
The two sisters had discussed it beforehand. At most, they would be scolded by their parents and kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days. Their family would help them keep it a secret.
“Your father is in the capital and has no say in matters in the north.”
Li Ruoxue was very certain of this. Her governess had even had tea with Lin Mama, and Lin Mama's words revealed her contempt for Lin Yuesha.
If Lord Lin valued this daughter, neither of them would have dared to do this. However, Lin Yuesha was a nobody, and there was still a good show waiting for her in the capital; Madam Qin was more than happy for her to suffer.
"Do you think Granny Lin would respect a servant of a minor official and tell the truth?"
Lin Yuesha scoffed, pointing at Li Ruoxue's nose, "You're really stupid. Even if you're jealous, you have to pick the right person. I'm already engaged in the capital, and that person isn't some young master Bai."
Lin Yuesha deceived the Li sisters, but the two sisters couldn't find anyone to verify her story.
"What? You're engaged?"
Li Ruoxue stood up abruptly, and suddenly, the sound of "puffing" came from inside the room again.
Lin Yuesha: ...
That said, the medicine was quite potent; even after more than an hour, there were still side effects.
Li Ruoxue was filled with shame and hurriedly asked the servants to open the window. Lin Yuesha took the initiative to walk to the window to breathe, and the feeling of nausea came back.
There's no need to spend money to see a doctor. Other people's farts just smell a little bad, but Li Ruoxue's farts are poisonous!
After a long pause, Lin Yuesha continued, "Yes, I'm engaged."
"Then why does the Yan family treat you differently?"
Li Ruoxue only cared about this issue. Judging from Yan Shi's attitude, she clearly regarded Lin Yuesha as her daughter-in-law.
"She and Qin are very close friends, didn't you know?"
Lin Yuesha curled her lips into a cold smile, "You also know that my biological father is the Prefect of the Capital. When Bai Dingfeng arrived in the capital, didn't he still have to rely on my father for support?"
Their biological father held a high position of power and influence, effectively being the father of several Li sisters.
"really?"
Li Ruoxue was somewhat convinced. So, it was impossible that everything she did ruined the marriage!
Aren't you annoying?
Lin Yuesha was too lazy to waste words with Li Ruoxue. She came to the door with only one purpose: "You two sisters have treated me like this, but I am a magnanimous person, so I won't make a scene in court. Just pay me back."
For emotional distress, Lin Yuesha should be compensated at least 20,000 taels of silver for the fright she suffered.
It is said that the two sisters had a total of 30,000 taels of private savings. They spent 10,000 taels to hire a hitman, and that was all that was left.
Lin Yuesha asked for money, which was within the other party's acceptable range; any more than that, the two of them certainly couldn't give.
"What?! Twenty thousand taels of silver? Lin Yuesha, you might as well just rob a bank!"
Li Ruoxue was furious. If they had the guts, they should sue the authorities. As long as the two of them denied it, that was fine. Even if there was evidence, her father would cover it up. This was something she had discussed with the governess beforehand.
Even a lion wouldn't ask for such a large sum of money; Lin Yuesha's mouth is as big as a hippopotamus's!
"Go ahead and sue us if you dare, we sisters aren't afraid."
After considering it for a moment, Li Ruoxue replied.
She did hire someone to kill her, but it didn't cause Lin Yuesha any harm. She explained everything to everyone, so there's nothing to worry about.
"You'd better think this through. If I take this to the authorities, and the Yan family learns about your character, will they still agree to the marriage with the Li family?"
Li Ruoxue's reaction was under Lin Yuesha's control. She had already planned it out before coming, and things were developing as planned.
The pockmarked man was indeed shrewd; he quickly advised her on how to avoid being wronged, and even if she couldn't undo the wrongs, she should still strive for the greatest possible benefit to compensate for the losses.
"Marriage alliance?"
Li Ruoxue gets angry just thinking about it. She plotted against Lin Yuesha, but the scheme backfired on her. Is it possible that this person is truly protected by Buddha and can get away with anything?
This happened several times, forcing Li Ruoxue to become superstitious.
"It's impossible."
When Li Ruoxue left the Bai residence, the Bai family made no comment; all she saw was Yan Shi's disgusted look.
"not necessarily."
I'm about to start using my tactics, Bai Dingfeng, sorry.
"Humans eat grains and cereals, and everyone farts; there's no need to make a fuss about it."
Lin Yuesha tried hard to forget the taste and said seriously, "If the Bai family makes a fuss about this, it will only make them look petty."
Li Ruoxue pondered the meaning behind Lin Yuesha's words and felt comforted. In fact, she thought the same thing, but Yan Shi's disgusted look at that time left a deep impression on her.
If Madam Yan finds out that Lin Yuesha is already engaged, then wouldn't she be the only one who can become Bai's daughter-in-law?
"That's how it seems now, but if I take this to court and make a big fuss, you'll lose your reputation. Do you think the Yan family would want a vicious daughter-in-law?"
Lin Yuesha continued to deceive, believing that before deceiving others, she had to deceive herself first. If she believed what she herself said, then there would be no problem.
"Young Master Bai is going to the capital to visit the Lin family. Do you think Madam Yan would be willing to offend me?"
That's true. Although the Yan family was a prominent clan, their status was far inferior to that of the Prefect of the Capital. With this connection, it was natural for someone as familiar as the Yan family to try and curry favor with them, all for the sake of their son.
"But……"
Li Ruoxue still didn't want to take out the money, and she looked down on Lin Yuesha.
“Let’s call it even for what happened before. You’ll pay to avoid trouble, and we’ll keep to ourselves from now on. I promise I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Lin Yuesha said that she came to Li Ruoxue's door to plead her case, just to show her sincerity.
Li Ruoxue's eyes flickered uncertainly. If Lin Yuesha were to file a complaint with the authorities, it would indeed be troublesome. However, 20,000 taels of silver was too much, and she did not intend to pay it.
"Young Master Bai and I are not yet engaged."
Li Ruoxue resolutely refused to be swayed by Lin Yuesha's sweet talk. If the Yan family didn't mean it, she wasn't afraid of losing her reputation, since the two families weren't going to arrange a marriage anyway.
"Since you've taken a liking to Young Master Bai, why don't you use your methods? You're quite capable of dealing with our young lady."
As agreed beforehand, Qingxing whispered in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "All she does is scheme against my young lady, what kind of skill is that?"
