Chapter 948 Hints
Lin Yuesha heard that Zhao Jingya was at the villa and sighed that she was lucky.
She smiled and said, "I'm a relative of Sister Daya's family. She asked me to give the pearls to Miss Zhao."
"When you meet my young lady later, you should address her as Young Madam."
Seeing this, the steward specifically instructed Lin Yuesha on proper etiquette. Since the young lady was already married, it was somewhat inappropriate to still address her as "young lady."
"I know."
Lin Yuesha gave the steward a piece of silver, which surprised him.
He's just a relative of a fisherman in the village, so his circumstances probably aren't much better. Yet he knows this kind of thing; he's quite clever.
The steward couldn't just take the silver for nothing, so he mentioned Zhao Jingya's preferences.
“Our young lady is not stingy. When it comes to buying pearls, you can make some small requests about the price. As long as it's not excessive, she will agree.”
With the help of a piece of silver, the steward gave instructions along the way until Lin Yuesha was led into the Zhao family's villa.
A maidservant at the door lifted the curtain to deliver the message, and then another maidservant came out of the room.
Lin Yuesha didn't recognize him; his face was unfamiliar.
From her conversation with the manager, Lin Yuesha learned that Zhao Jingya had had a tough year, making money through business and finally gaining a foothold.
Now married into the Wu family, the garrison commander's household, the couple lives a harmonious and peaceful life.
Lin Yuesha believed it to be true; at least Young Master Wu respected Zhao Jingya, and even when joking with his subordinates, he didn't forget to mention her.
Incense was burning in the room. Zhao Jingya was taking a nap leaning back in her chair when she heard a noise. She opened her eyes and exclaimed, "What a beautiful young lady!"
"Young mistress, beauty is not necessarily a good thing."
The maid who led Lin Yuesha in shook her head and sighed. What good is being as beautiful as a fairy? She was born into a lower class. Being beautiful alone cannot change her fate; on the contrary, it may bring disaster.
Putting aside others, every girl that the Prince of Zhenbei played with was beautiful. If she were ugly, perhaps she wouldn't have been played with to death, rolled up in a straw mat, and thrown into a mass grave.
"Spring Rain, are you blaming me for not saving Yan'er?"
Zhao Jingya stood up and sighed heavily.
"This servant wouldn't dare!"
Inside the room, several maids immediately knelt down. Lin Yuesha had just entered when she was greeted with a grand salute. She stood to the side with her head down, trying to minimize her presence and remaining silent.
"Young Madam, I was just being nosy. I didn't mean anything by it, but Yan'er and I are like sisters. Thinking about what happened to her..."
The maid Chunyu, who spoke first, was in tears and unable to speak.
A few days ago, her young mistress took her and Yan'er to the shop to check the accounts, and they happened to run into the Prince of Zhenbei who came to Yingcheng.
The Prince of Zhenbei took a liking to Yan'er and, disregarding his pride, asked the garrison commander to take her away.
Since her father-in-law insisted on giving her the person, Zhao Jingya had no choice but to comply, no matter how reluctant she was.
Even if they don't give it to him, the Prince of Zhenbei can still think of other ways.
Last night, two guards dragged out straw mats from the back gate of the villa where the Prince of Zhenbei was staying. The servants of the garrison paid them some money, lifted the straw mats, and confirmed that it was Yan'er, Zhao Jingya's personal maid.
Yan'er was beaten so badly that there wasn't a single unharmed spot on her body, and she was on the verge of death.
Yan'er ultimately couldn't hold on. By the time Zhao Jingya arrived, she had run out of breath and passed away.
Because of this incident, Zhao Jingya didn't sleep all night. Under the pretext of doing business, she hid in a villa in the fishing village.
She was filled with resentment, which was stuck in her chest, and she didn't know whether to hate the Prince of Zhenbei or herself.
She felt that the Prince of Zhenbei was a devil, and she had no power to resist him.
Back then, Li Ruoxue killed her cousin Zhao Fendie with her own hands, and she just watched helplessly. In the end, Li Ruoxue married Bai Dingfeng as she wished, and she was forced to do her part in the wedding procession.
Only Lin Yuesha knew that this was a knot in her heart.
A woman must have the ability to make a living, and since she started earning money, her life has indeed been much better than before.
However, when the Prince of Zhenbei came to demand her release, Zhao Jingya was completely helpless and could only wait anxiously for news.
After several days of anxiety, she received the news that Yan'er had been tortured to death. Everything was finally settled, but Zhao Jingya was filled with despair.
If Lin Yuesha were her, what would she do?
Zhao Jingya thought that Lin Yuesha would definitely fight back and wouldn't remain silent like her.
Even though she didn't have the resources to confront Zhen Beiwang, Lin Yuesha had the courage, while she didn't.
"Stop talking. The young mistress is also suffering because Yan'er is gone."
The maid Xia He spoke up to comfort him, "I heard that the Prince of Zhenbei asked people to search everywhere, and the Wei family even sent him many twelve or thirteen-year-old girls for his pleasure."
Even if the young mistress has the ability to rescue these girls, another group of pitiful women will be sent to the Prince of Zhenbei's bed.
The problem will never be solved if the root cause is not addressed.
Be careful what you say!
What would happen if others heard that?
If the Wei family's lackeys take things too seriously and think that the garrison commander is dissatisfied with the Prince of Zhenbei, then a terrible disaster will befall them.
Lin Yuesha tried her best to avoid the topic. She touched the tip of her nose. Zhao Jingya and her maid really didn't know how to be discreet, talking nonsense in front of her.
She didn't want to know these things.
Thinking of Yun Ge in the alien race, even after being rescued, she was still trembling with fear and extremely resistant to men. How could a scum like the King of Zhenbei still live in this world? Heaven is so unfair!
After a moment of silence in the room, Chunyu finally noticed Lin Yuesha and immediately exclaimed, "What are you doing here!"
Lin Yuesha resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Of course she was there; the conversation had just started because of her appearance. These maids were so forgetful.
"You have wild-caught pearls?"
Zhao Jingya snapped out of her daze, dabbed at the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, regained her composure, and asked.
"Yes, young mistress."
Lin Yuesha wanted to discuss a business deal with Zhao Jingya, not just about pearls, but also about other things.
"what else?"
Zhao Jingya picked up her teacup and asked absentmindedly.
She came to the fishing village to escape her husband and to give Yan'er to the Prince of Zhenbei. Her husband came as an intermediary to persuade her.
Although the final outcome was the same, Zhao Jingya couldn't get over it and didn't know who to blame.
As the mistress, Zhao Jingya couldn't even protect her personal maid, which made her feel increasingly useless.
"And sea worms."
Lin Yuesha's words were concise and to the point; only she and Zhao Jingya knew the meaning behind them.
One sentence made Zhao Jingya raise her head, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes.
As the young mistress of the Wu family of the garrison commander's office, Zhao Jingya had some understanding of the current situation.
After arriving in the capital, Lin Yuesha did not seek refuge with her unfaithful father, but instead became associated with Prince Luo and the Xu family.
The northern lands and the capital fell into the hands of the Wei family, and this traitorous Wei family even proclaimed to the world that the Prince of Luo was colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. How ridiculous!
"You can go down first."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingya perked up, dismissed the maids to guard the gate, and then asked seriously, "Is it you who wants to do business, or your young lady?"
"Young mistress is indeed intelligent and quick-witted; she is naturally my young lady."
Zhao Jingya understood, and Lin Yuesha felt a little relieved. It would be too dangerous for her to show her true face, so it would be easier for her to appear as Lin Yuesha's maid.
