Chapter 590 Applying Eye Drops
As Lin Yuesha had expected, the Qin family would definitely be the first to receive news of any disturbance.
"Our young lady instructed me to make sure the message is delivered."
Yu Li looked nervous. If Lin Yue'e discovered that she had sent a letter to Lin Yuesha, that would be terrible.
"Yu Li, please thank your young lady for me."
Lin Yuesha was surprised that Qin Nanyan acted so quickly, sending her the message immediately, and she appreciated the gesture.
But running away wasn't realistic; what would happen to her family if she left? Her family was more important to her than herself.
Therefore, avoidance is not the solution to the problem. Lin Yuesha only thought about it briefly before dismissing it.
“Miss Lin, there is a carriage shop in Taipingfang. One of the drivers there is surnamed Liu. He is very familiar with the small roads around the capital. If you want to leave the capital, you can find him. It will save you a lot of time.”
After Yu Li finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Lin Yuesha watched Yu Li's retreating figure, unable to remove the bracelet after all. She wanted to give Yu Li a reward, but the maid left in a hurry, so she decided to wait until they met again.
“Miss, it seems that what I heard was true.”
Bai Cha asked hesitantly, "If Miss is to marry the pockmarked man, shouldn't she inform Master and Madam first?"
Even though it's a fake marriage, it should still be done properly. It's an arranged marriage by parents and matchmakers. If the young lady were to suddenly get married, the lady would faint upon receiving the news.
"Not yet."
Lin Yuesha's family is her support, but the situation is still unclear. If she were to tell her mother, Chen, directly, her mother would definitely be frightened.
In truth, Lin Yuesha knew that Chen was not as fragile as she thought, but she still didn't want her family to worry, especially since her father's health hadn't improved and her stepbrother had just gone to the academy. She couldn't bear to see the harmonious atmosphere at home ruined by this bad news.
Just now, Lin Yuesha had another new idea.
"Let's go back to the Lin residence first, and then discuss it with Granny Fang."
The three of them, mistress and servants, left in a carriage. The first thing Lin Yuesha did upon returning to the mansion was to pay her respects to Old Madam Lin.
"You silly girl, is your family unable to support you again, so you're working as a cook for someone else?"
Before leaving, Qin went to Old Madam Lin's place to sow discord between Lin Yuesha and Old Madam Lin. At this moment, Old Madam Lin was still upset and thought that doing the work of a servant was shameful.
“Grandmother, you also know that Yue Sha’s status is awkward. If she gets married in the future, she will not have a dowry to rely on.”
Lin Yuesha diligently massaged Old Madam Lin from behind, while complaining, "I don't want Father's money. Don't think that just because Father is the Prefect of the Capital, his household expenses are not small. There are so many social obligations every year, and there is not much money left."
Lin Yuesha was not afraid of others' opinions because she could earn money by making pastries outside her home. She had even received praise from Prince Luo and the old princess.
"If I earn money, I can also take care of my father and grandmother."
As Lin Yuesha spoke, she gestured for Bai Cha to open the food box, which contained pastries brought from the Qin family. She kept some of them for herself.
"But it's not good for women to always show their faces in public."
Old Mrs. Lin was moved by Lin Yuesha's words. She could earn her own dowry without the Lin family having to pay for it, and she could even help the Lin family out of it. What a good thing!
After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Grandma Lin stopped objecting, thinking it was feasible.
"These are the pastries that the old princess praised?"
Grandma Lin had never seen anything like it before, so she tried one of everything. Some of them weren't to her taste, but there was no denying that they were excessively exquisite.
It turns out that important people like things that others haven't tried before; rarity makes things valuable.
"Yes, Yue Sha went to the Qin residence and happened to run into Madam and Sister Yue'e. They might be going to offer them gifts to Grandmother when they return home, so Yue Sha came back early to get ahead of them and not be outdone."
Lin Yuesha acted coy and ingratiatingly. There were only a few pastries left in the Qin family. Even if Qin Nanyan brought them back to Lin Yue'e, Lin Yue'e would definitely not give them to the old lady. Therefore, she retaliated against the mother and daughter, also trying to sow discord.
"Alright, you've had a long day, you don't need to keep an old man like me company. Go wash up early."
When Grandma Lin heard the news, she waited for her son to come back and tell him how to send Lin Yuesha away.
Not long after leaving the old lady's place, Qin Shi and Lin Yue'e also returned to their residence.
“Miss, I saw that Pipa was carrying a box of pastries, which I guess you made. I saw that Pipa had returned to the courtyard and did not seem to have any intention of bringing pastries to the old lady.”
Bai Cha had been keeping a close eye on the activity in the backyard, and upon receiving the news, she immediately returned to report.
"As expected."
Lin Yue'e's filial piety is only lip service; she's unlikely to actually do it.
"Bai Cha, you and Long Jing go and guard the door. I'll talk to Granny Fang."
Lin Yuesha washed her face with warm water, and her expression suddenly became serious.
“Miss, during the time you were at the Qin residence, only Xiao He from the old lady’s place came once.”
Xiaohe came here for no other reason than to embroider a purse. She had broken two colors of thread and came to find Granny Fang to replace them.
"Um."
Lin Yuesha raised her head and said seriously, "Granny Fang, if Brother Yun and I were to propose marriage, what are the chances that he will marry me?"
"ah?"
Granny Fang was arranging the ornaments when she heard this and stumbled, almost tripping over her own leg.
What did she hear? The young lady is going to marry the master? Isn't this the master's long-term goal?
"Miss, have you heard something?"
Logically speaking, this matter should never have been leaked.
Granny Fang's heart raced, but she turned around naturally. "Are you joking?"
"Who can joke about marriage? This joke isn't funny."
Lin Yuesha slumped over the table, asking weakly, "Is this question difficult to answer?"
When will you get married?
Granny Fang pulled up a chair and sat opposite her young mistress, excitedly saying, "This old servant will take care of it right away."
"no……"
It wasn't about getting it done, but Lin Yuesha wanted to know if the pockmarked man would agree, since it was still quite embarrassing for a woman to bring it up herself in Daqi.
Besides, the fake marriage was, frankly speaking, just taking advantage of the pockmarked face, and Lin Yuesha herself was in the wrong.
“Miss, the master treats you so well, he must be willing.”
I'm willing, but now isn't the right time.
Granny Fang roughly understood the master's plan; he had no intention of getting married within the next few years, and he was waiting for Lin Yuesha to grow up little by little.
If this is done in advance, it will be more deceptive when his true identity is revealed in the future, and the lady will definitely not be able to forgive him.
Granny Fang's mind was in a mess, and it took her a long time to sort out her thoughts before she asked, "Why do you have such thoughts? Is there something that this old servant is unaware of?"
Lin Yuesha nodded. Yes, it had happened.
We need to give advance notice to those with pockmarked faces and make contingency plans, because the time between now and the 15th of August is very tight.
Getting married suddenly within five or six days is something even parents can't accept; there's no time to prepare anything.
