Chapter 577 New Character Design
For some reason, Bai Cha always felt a very oppressive atmosphere whenever she was in the Lin residence. These past two days had felt like an eternity, and she couldn't sleep soundly, fearing that something might happen in the courtyard again at night.
"Not for now, Bai Cha, you can sleep peacefully."
Judging from the timeline, by now, that scumbag father has already gone to Qin's place to sell his body, and then spent the whole night indulging in a wild party. Lin Yue'e is so disgusted by him that she has shut herself away from home, which is quite worry-free for her.
"From now on, let's not hide anything, understand?"
Lin Yuesha called Fang Mama and Longjing over, and the mistress and servants held a meeting.
In a few days, Qin might send a maid to spy on her, so it won't be as convenient for the mistress and servants to talk as it is now.
"Miss, I don't quite understand."
Bai Cha thought for a moment, and it seemed that her young mistress meant that there was no need to hide it when bullying Lin Yue'e.
Yes, we won't hide it.
Qin complained to Lin Shusheng, but Lin Yuesha was not reprimanded. This shows that her scumbag father tacitly approved of the situation, believing that as long as no major problems arose, it was just a minor squabble between young girls.
Lin Shusheng is not stupid; he sees through everyone. Therefore, in order to deceive, Lin Yuesha must create a persona for herself.
"Brainless, straightforward, and genuine."
Lin Yuesha decided to choose three keywords, which were her latest masks in the Lin family mansion. Like a pockmarked face, her mask was an invisible defense.
"But you are very clever, Miss."
Longjing believes that it's still very difficult to pretend to be brainless.
"It's precisely because I'm smart that I was able to cover it up. Deceiving my scumbag father wasn't simple; it was all thanks to my acting skills."
Lin Yuesha needs to cultivate a persona of being a bully who takes advantage of others' favor, being straightforward, saying whatever comes to mind, occasionally asking her scumbag father for money, acting coquettishly, and showing her true nature so that he can feel at ease.
The more a personality trait is hidden, the more Lin Shusheng likes to explore it; however, he won't try to uncover it if it is fully revealed.
Lin Yuesha is now very impressed with herself for having studied psychology so thoroughly.
“I’m sure Lin Yue’e and I don’t get along, so let’s not hide it. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go and cause trouble for Lin Yue’e without waiting for her to come to us.”
Strike first and beat Lin Yue'e to tears. After all, she's just a country bumpkin, and Lin Yue'e calls her a country bumpkin, so she'll show some of the toughness a country bumpkin should have.
"As the master is, so are the servants. You don't have to swallow your anger. I, Miss, will take charge of everything."
Lin Yuesha had figured out Lin Shusheng's personality quite thoroughly. He had long regarded the Qin family as a thorn in his side. He would make concessions and compromises in some areas, but he would not go too far.
Today, it seems that Qin has gained an advantage, but Qin doesn't know that for her man, it has only accelerated the flow of his life.
"Miss, I understand. We need to be a little arrogant."
Bai Cha looked excited; this was a good idea.
"Alright, Bai Cha will keep watch tonight. Fang Mama and Long Jing, you may go and rest."
After a long and stressful day, Lin Yuesha was exhausted. She washed up and lay down immediately, her stomach empty after all the commotion.
"Miss, Sister Qingxing is here."
There was a knock on the door, only three knocks, a secret signal between white tea and green apricots.
"Miss, this is for you."
Qingxing handed over a package and said hurriedly, "This servant brought it over, I'll be leaving now."
Qingxing was afraid of being discovered, so she only stayed for a moment. After watching the person leave, Lin Yuesha quickly opened the package.
A packet of snacks, her favorite almond cookies!
The almond cookies from a time-honored brand in Beijing have a rather complicated production process and contain mung bean powder. They can be eaten by biting into them, and in the summer, you can soak them in water to make them refreshing and thirst-quenching, and they are not too sweet.
Besides almond cookies, there was also a roast chicken.
"My favorite honey-roasted chicken!"
Lin Yuesha sat up and beckoned Bai Cha to the table. They should share half of their food. Since Bai Cha had seen it, she couldn't just eat it all by herself.
Having a pockmarked face is great; it makes you think about what others think and worry about what others worry about. But... thinking about her own unrestrained manner, Lin Yuesha suddenly lost her appetite for the roast chicken that was right in front of her.
She touched and kissed the pockmarked woman, and the pockmarked woman even brought her food. She must have been aware of her situation in the Lin family. What does this mean? Does it mean she has accepted her, or does she not care?
Lin Yuesha held her head in her hands, completely baffled.
"Miss, I would like to go out of the manor tomorrow."
Bai Cha ate a chicken foot and, seeing that her young mistress was lost in thought and showed no intention of speaking, couldn't help but interrupt her.
"Um?"
Lin Yuesha snapped out of her daze and asked, "Bai Cha, what did you say? Say it again."
"This servant wishes to leave the manor."
The white tea is processed again, which only takes about two hours.
"Where are you going? Want to go out for some fresh air?"
Lin Yuesha nodded in agreement. Anyway, she didn't need any maids around her. She herself wasn't very free, but Bai Cha could leave the manor.
"no."
Bai Cha hesitated for a moment, then pulled a package from under the table, blushing as she said, "Tomorrow is the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, Hou Fen's birthday. I made a few pairs of shoes for her and wanted to give them to her."
Bai Cha believes that she and Hou Fen became friends after a misunderstanding, and that they can still be good friends after the misunderstanding is cleared up.
Moreover, she discovered Houfen's privacy, so she's one of her own.
Not only that, Bai Cha felt sorry for Hou Fen. It wasn't a big deal that she had a flat chest, but the problem was that she was dark-skinned and had big feet. Hou Fen wasn't very good at sewing, so she took the initiative to make her shoes.
He didn't know the size of the thick powder, but he could guess it was pretty close.
Before she became a maid, she made all the shoes for her family. Bai Cha was very confident in her needlework skills.
"Bai Cha, you're a very honest person."
Lin Yuesha praised the white tea highly, but when she recalled the maid with thick powder, she felt that the person's behavior was a bit strange.
"Miss, may I celebrate Houfen's birthday?"
Bai Cha asked again, her face flushing slightly.
Aside from the people around the young lady, Houfen is the only maid Baicha is willing to befriend, and she has already been categorized as a sister.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Lin Yuesha sighed helplessly. Bai Cha was a picky girl, and somehow she had taken a liking to Hou Fen.
As the master and servant were talking, there was a soft knock on the courtyard gate three more times.
"Could it be that Sister Qingxing has turned back?"
Bai Cha listened carefully, then hurriedly lit a lantern and went to open the courtyard gate. When she opened the gate, she saw Xiao He standing at the door with her arms crossed.
"White Tea, is Miss asleep?"
Xiaohe thought and thought, but she was still very uneasy. Just then, the old lady had used incense and was fast asleep, and wouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning, so she ran to Lin Yuesha's courtyard to talk to her.
It seems that the only person one can truly rely on in this household is the eldest young lady.
Xiaohe prided herself on her ability to judge people, and after regaining her composure, she became even more certain of her decision.
"Miss Xiaohe, please come in."
Lin Yuesha invited Xiaohe to sit down and offered her the roast chicken she couldn't finish, telling Xiaohe to eat some first to fill her stomach before discussing other matters.
