Chapter 548 Arrest Warrant
Lin Yuesha thought that her mother, Chen, would refuse the suggestion because she didn't want to have anything to do with her scumbag father. However, after thinking for a moment, Chen actually nodded.
Some things had to be said, especially about her daughter. No matter how weak Chen was, she would not back down.
"Madam, this old servant will stay with you."
Granny Fang immediately stepped forward and followed behind Madam Chen. Lin Yuesha nodded to Granny Fang.
After the two left, Lin Yuesha also wanted to follow and eavesdrop. The teahouse was on the opposite side of Taipingfang Street, diagonally opposite Wenjunlou.
"Miss, thank you and Madam for saving me. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."
After lying down for a while to recover, Young Master Bai stood up with great effort and bowed to Lin Yuesha. His home was not far away, but in Baijia Village on the outskirts of the capital. He was a member of the Bai family in the inner city of the capital, but his branch was relatively far away. The Bai family did not care about kinship and did not pay much attention to him, a mere scholar.
It was the busy farming season, and his parents and family were busy in the fields, so no one was there to watch over him. Besides, he was used to doing farm work and thought he would be fine, but who would have thought...
"Are you from the Bai family?"
Lin Yuesha blinked. She should have known better than to ignore it. She now particularly disliked the Bai family; she hated the entire clan.
"Do you recognize Bai Dingfeng?"
Bai Cha noticed that her young mistress's expression was very strange and immediately asked what was wrong.
"I recognize him; he is my cousin from afar."
Young Master Bai was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the young lady in front of him would recognize his cousin. He and Bai Dingfeng had taken the imperial examination together and had even dined at the Bai residence yesterday.
"Then you don't need to thank me. If I had known you were from the Bai family, I would have definitely stood by and done nothing."
Lin Yuesha took a step back, still feeling disgusted by the mess that family had made. Especially Bai Youran, who thought she could catch her off guard by exposing her identity—too bad, she was wrong. Lin Yuesha wasn't someone who cared about what others thought.
"Miss, please wait."
Young Master Bai wiped his sweat and asked, "Why won't you save me just because I'm a member of the Bai family?"
"If you have a grudge, have you ever seen someone save their enemy?"
Lin Yuesha looked at him with a complicated expression. Anyway, the person had been saved, and money had been spent on the doctor. Shouldn't they have stopped while they were ahead? But the bookish scholar insisted on getting to the bottom of things, asking where all these reasons came from.
"If you say so, then I am relieved."
Young Master Bai recalled that he had been very careful recently. Just the day before the imperial examination, the Bai family, who had always been indifferent to him, suddenly invited him to their mansion. After being treated to a feast, he vomited and had diarrhea. He finally managed to enter the examination hall, but because of his weak body, he was sweating profusely and could not stand the heat.
After a moment's thought, he immediately understood that it was enough for the Bai family to have Bai Dingfeng pass the exam alone; they didn't need another member of a collateral branch to add to their glory. That's why the Bai family had devised this trap.
The poor parents and family were unaware of the situation and thought the Bai family was being very kind.
If it weren't for his upset stomach, he would definitely have passed the high school entrance exam; he could have easily answered the questions on the exam.
Lin Yuesha curled the corners of her lips. This was interesting. This person's surname was Bai, and his given name was Gongzi. He was actually called Gongzi Bai, and it wasn't just a title.
“My family is poor, so how could I be called a young master? My father envied the clansmen, so he gave me this name.”
Young Master Bai smiled, revealing a set of small white teeth, which he was very proud of.
He was thrown out of the scientific expedition because of heatstroke, and it was impossible for him to get a ranking. He was very sad and even resentful at first, but after being persuaded by Chen and Lin Yuesha, he came to terms with it.
"So what are your plans for the future?"
Lin Yuesha asked that her new shop was short of an accountant.
"I don't know."
The next imperial examination is in three years, and Young Master Bai has no plans for that. He just wants to teach at the school first and then wait for an opportunity.
His family struggled to make ends meet because of his education, and he couldn't just keep taking advantage of them; he also had to earn money to provide a better life for his parents and younger brother.
"How about you work as an accountant at my shop?"
Being an accountant isn't tiring; you just need to check the ledgers. When you have free time, you can read books, and Lin Yuesha doesn't interfere with that.
With her, you can earn money and read books at the same time, and as long as you do well, in addition to your monthly salary, you will also receive a series of rewards such as full attendance bonus.
"The shop is near Qingzhu Academy."
Lin Yuesha inquired with Young Master Bai and learned that Qingzhu Academy charged a high tuition fee, which his family couldn't afford. Therefore, after the imperial examinations, he decided to stay home; it was better to find work and earn money.
“Miss, I am willing.”
When Young Master Bai heard that he would be paid five taels of silver a month, he immediately beamed with joy. He promised to work hard and not make any mistakes, but fearing that he would be implicated by Bai Dingfeng, he said, "I am really not familiar with Young Master Bai Dingfeng."
Having finalized the time with Young Master Bai, Lin Yuesha headed straight to the teahouse with white tea. Her scumbag father intended to bypass her, but Lin Yuesha was still a little worried.
What are you worried about?
Bai Cha hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you worried that Lord Lin will bully Madam?"
After all, more than a decade ago, Lord Lin betrayed his wife.
"No, didn't you see I was staring at the teahouse window the whole time? I was afraid my mother would get so excited that she'd throw him down."
Lin Yuesha had already experienced her mother's strength firsthand; even Madam Xu praised her highly and kept urging Chen to improve her health through martial arts.
If the Chen family wanted to get rid of Lin the scumbag, it would be a piece of cake.
"Miss, let's go quickly."
After her young mistress finished speaking, Bai Cha became nervous. As the two crossed the street, their eyes kept glancing at the teahouse window, fearing that something out of their control might happen.
"Miss, look at this person, he looks familiar."
On a bulletin board in the bustling city, there was a very conspicuous wanted poster. Bai Cha pointed to the portrait on it and muttered, "There's a big mole on his chin. I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before."
"It's that middleman!"
Bai Cha suddenly remembered, startling Lin Yuesha. She stared intently at the wanted poster, then covered her face with her hands. She felt so sorry for Da Zhi.
Since their last parting, she had repeatedly vowed to repay the debt of gratitude, but she had forgotten about it. She herself was disguised as a man and was inconspicuous, so she could not be found at Wenjun Tower. The man with the mole suffered greatly because of this. It was clearly written that the man with the mole went to Wenjun Tower to find a male prostitute, owed four hundred taels of silver, and then ran away without paying.
If anyone can provide clues leading to the capture of this person, Wenjunlou will reward them with two hundred taels of silver.
"Oh dear, going to a brothel and not paying? That person is truly morally corrupt!"
After reading it, Bai Cha said angrily, "Miss, from now on, if anyone with a big mole comes to our door, I will definitely take a stick and beat them out! What kind of trash is that!"
Having homosexual tendencies is one thing, but not paying is another. Don't be so greedy! No wonder he went to haunted houses to scam people; he just wanted to get something for free and couldn't afford to pay!
Lin Yuesha: ...
