Chapter 311
Speaking of Jixiang, Pearl immediately became serious: "Young Madam's suspicions are indeed not without reason. I sent someone to check on Jixiang's mother, and sure enough, we found that Jixiang's mother's illness has almost completely recovered!"
Yun Wan gave a cold laugh.
Although she didn't know what illness the maid's mother had, the fact that she was still alive meant that money could solve the problem.
With so much silver being withdrawn every month, how could Yunxi not take this opportunity to bribe Jixiang?
Not only had Jixiang already accepted the money, but she was also helping Yunxi deal with her side, which shows that she had been completely bought off!
So, that bitch has been wanting to turn things around for a long time.
It's a pity she underestimated the enemy, which ultimately led to this disaster!
However, she has now grasped the key to Jixiang's success, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to get him to continue working for her.
"Have Jixiang come over tonight."
"yes."
After a moment of silence, Pearl asked again, "Young Madam, what are your plans regarding the young master's matter?"
"You don't need to worry about it, I know what I'm doing."
"yes."
In the evening, Jixiang came over.
Yunwan had never really looked at her before, but this time, upon closer observation, she realized how obvious Jixiang's nervousness and unease were.
Yun Wan couldn't help but chuckle.
Her smile made Jixiang even more nervous, and her bowing movements became somewhat stiff: "Greetings, Young Madam."
“Jixiang,” Yunwan said casually, not urging her to get up, but instead playing with the nail polish on her fingertips. “How is your mother’s health?”
Upon hearing this, Jixiang's heart skipped a beat: "My mother... is doing well, thank you for your concern, young mistress."
Yun Wan nodded: "That's true. Your mother's illness has improved a lot, and with you sending money home from time to time, life is getting better and better."
Ji Xiang was startled and immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Yunwan understands!
Unexpectedly, despite her efforts to keep it a secret, Yun Wan actually sent people directly to her mother's place!
Her mother didn't understand the ways of these deep-rooted mansions. The old lady had finally gotten rid of the torment of illness, so naturally she wanted to go out and about from time to time. She was worried that Yun Wan would find out, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
Jixiang immediately bowed her head and kowtowed, saying, "Please forgive me, young mistress! I was out of my mind before, please forgive me!"
"Look at you, I didn't say anything, why are you so agitated?" Yun Wan curled her lips. "Pearl, quickly help her up."
Pearl stepped forward and gently helped her up from the ground.
Pearl smiled, but it sent chills down one's spine.
“Jixiang, it’s only natural that you care about your mother. I understand that you had no choice but to compromise because that bitch used your mother to threaten you,” Yun Wan’s voice sounded sinister. “But now that your mother has recovered, do you still want to continue to be used by her?”
Jixiang pursed her lips.
Now that the matter has been exposed, if she doesn't take a stand, she herself will be fine, but her mother will definitely suffer.
Thinking of her mother, who had been tormented by illness for so long and had finally had a few days of comfort, Jixiang unconsciously clenched her hands, which were tucked into her sleeves.
No matter how good Yunxi was to her, she couldn't be better than her own mother who gave birth to her.
After a long while, she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air: "This servant... will listen to the young mistress."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan smiled and said, "That's right, you really are a smart one."
Ji Xiang tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an ugly smile.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back now. I have something important for you to do in a few days," Yun Wan said. "Remember, don't let that bitch notice anything amiss, or I can't guarantee what might happen to your mother."
Ji Xiang's heart was as cold as ice: "This servant understands."
"Go."
Jixiang returned to her residence in a daze.
As soon as the door opened, Le'an's voice rang out: "You're finally back! The young master is in a good mood today and gave us a pot of wine. Auntie even had someone heat it up and prepared some snacks to go with it. Come and eat!"
"...Here it comes."
