Chapter 67: Don't mind dying together
Lin Qingjun returned to the Lin Mansion.
She handed over the silver thread she had bought.
Nanny Qi was not in a hurry. She just took the silver thread and scolded her for a long time.
She said she was just buying some silver thread, so why did it take so long? Did she do something she shouldn't have done? She was also told to remember her status and not to think of crossing the line between legitimate and illegitimate. Furthermore, she was told that if she didn't want Concubine Liu to suffer in the mansion, she should be more obedient and not make the mistress angry. And so on and so forth.
In the past, she would have just listened and let it go, but now, she felt that blindly tolerating them would only increase their arrogance.
Besides, she is no longer the humble Lin Qingjun. She is a reborn person who lives only for herself and her aunt.
She raised her head and looked directly at Aunt Qi. The coldness in her eyes shocked Aunt Qi.
"Second Miss, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
Lin Qingjun snorted coldly, "Madam Qi, I went to buy silver thread because my aunt wanted to embroider a butterfly-loving-peony painting for Old Madam Qi's birthday. Do you think this ordinary silver thread would be enough? Can I come back so quickly? If it were so easy, why didn't Madam order you to buy it?"
When embroidering, the skill of the embroiderer is one thing, and the thread is another. There are thousands of embroidery threads in the world, and their quality varies. The best is naturally the tribute thread, but how can such thread be obtained in their small fourth-rank mansion? They have no choice but to buy it outside.
Buying also requires skill. Expensive things are not necessarily good, and cheap things are not necessarily bad.
Also, she only bought a silver thread, and the shades of silver were different. If she wasn't careful and there was something wrong with the longevity picture, would it be her, Aunt Qi, who would be held responsible?
this?
Aunt Qi was left speechless by her retort.
How could she be worthy of receiving the birthday gift from Old Madam Qi? The Old Madam was someone respected by the entire Qi family. Without the Old Madam, there would be no Qi family today. Even though the master was now a fourth-rank official, he still respected the Old Madam and did not dare to act rashly, let alone her, a small old servant?
And, "You said my concubine is suffering here? Why, Madam, do you think that the Madam is a vicious person and would criticize the concubines below?"
Aunt Qi was so scared that she broke out in a sweat and quickly shook her head.
"Of course not. Our wife is a kind-hearted person. She has never bullied my aunt in the slightest."
"Second Miss, you must be careful with what you say. If outsiders hear this, they might think our wife is someone who can't tolerate a concubine."
Lin Qingjun smiled. Look, her ability to tell lies with open eyes has really improved. However, she didn't care.
She said, "Am I being cautious? It was clearly you who should be cautious. It was clearly you who said things like Madam Liu was suffering. Not only did I hear it, but the other servants here heard it too."
She pointed at the servant who was sweeping and looking towards them.
Nanny Qi's face turned pale, and she secretly cursed herself for being so careless. Even if she wanted to curse, she should find a place where there was no one. However, she was not afraid because these servants were all their people.
She shouted at them coldly, "No one is allowed to spread what I just said, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The little servants were so frightened that they trembled and obeyed the order.
Nanny Qi was about to leave, but Lin Qingjun didn't let her.
Aunt Qi gritted her teeth secretly, "Second Miss, what else do you want to do?"
Lin Qingjun stepped forward, patted the non-existent dust on Aunt Qi's chest, and spoke in a low and cold voice.
"Madam Qi, you know that the person I care about most is my aunt."
"Let's be frank. Madam wants my aunt and I to die, but we don't want to die."
"If you push me too far, even a rabbit will bite."
"My aunt and I are nothing but worthless lives. If we die, we die. It's not worth it. But you are different. The Qi family still has a bright future. My eldest sister also has a future."
The corners of her icy lips curled deeper. "So, please don't mess with us, or I don't mind dying together."
She emphasized the last four words.
She was not joking. If Qi and Lin Yingxue did anything to make her angry again, she would never let them go. She had died once and understood the pain of death. Although she did not want to feel that pain again, it was precisely because of this that she could better protect her aunt and herself.
When Aunt Qi heard this, she couldn't help but gasp. She could tell that her words were true, and she also understood that the honest people had been bullied so badly that the fightback they made was beyond their ability to bear.
Seeing her expression, Lin Qingjun was finally satisfied.
She straightened her clothes and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of my aunt these few days. If my aunt is short of even a pound of meat, I will find it for her somewhere else."
After saying that, she patted her chest again.
Aunt Qi felt her scalp tingling. Could it be that she wanted to cut off a piece of flesh from her body?
Aunt Qi swallowed her water fiercely and said, "Second Miss, you? Are you crazy?"
She didn't understand why Lin Qingjun suddenly became so scary. Apart from being crazy, she couldn't find any other reason.
Lin Qingjun laughed and said, "You are the crazy ones. My aunt and I were originally staying in the yard peacefully, but you forced us to stay here again and again. I had no choice but to give up everything and fight with you."
Lin Qingjun suddenly thought of something and said again.
"By the way, please tell Madam Qi that she must hold a good birthday banquet for Madam Qi and not publicize it as she did in the past."
"After all, affection is something that cannot withstand wear and tear."
After saying that, Lin Qingjun pushed Aunt Qi away, turned around and left, leaving her with only a cold and unapproachable back.
Nanny Qi was stunned for a long time before she realized that she had been intimidated by the bitch Lin Qingjun.
"What a great Lin Qingjun! She's just a concubine's daughter. How could she say that we should die together?"
Their lives depended on the Madam's words. Don't think that being a concubine meant you were great. She wasn't a true mistress. Concubines could be sold, and concubines could be married off at will. If she wanted to make things difficult for herself, she could just provoke the mistress. How many disobedient concubines had been ruined in this world? Did Lin Qingjun really think she was a big shot?
Nanny Qi was furious and spat fiercely at the place where Lin Qingjun was leaving. Then she went to report to Qi.
But when she mentioned the last word about the fading of affection, Qi was a little stunned.
Aunt Qi asked, "Madam, is there something wrong?"
Qi said, "Yingxue came over just now. She said Xiao Yuan came looking for her and said some incomprehensible things to her, saying that their love was wearing away."
Xiao Yuan also said it, Lin Qingjun also said it, is there really something that they haven't discovered?
Qi turned to Lin Yingxue and asked, "You've read a lot of books. Can you think about this for me? Is there anything unusual here?"
