Chapter 94: I don’t want to hear the empty promises. I’m not happy to hear them.
Things are not that simple.
Normally, after the death of the slaves, they would be wrapped in a straw mat.
Or maybe ask her family to stop talking nonsense.
But no matter which one, as long as they leave the house, they must search carefully to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to take something out of the house, stealing the property in the house, or taking important things out of the house.
Hence the search.
If Xiaoxi was killed by Aunt Gui who stabbed her in the throat, there must be a wound on her neck.
It is impossible that the people who were searching did not see it.
But, isn't it strange that no one has told anyone about this?
If Aunt Gui is the murderer, then those who knew about it but did not report it are accomplices. And there is only one person who can help Aunt Gui and suppress the matter.
"Madam Qi."
Mrs. Zhang clenched her fists, and her face, which had been relaxed, was immediately filled with shock and anger.
Yes, why didn’t she think of this?
Why did she only think of Aunt Gui and not anything else?
Mrs. Zhang turned around abruptly and knelt before her, "Please, Second Miss, help me."
She had no children, and because of her hoarse voice, even her own parents were despised and sold. She also understood that she was destined to be alone in this life, and she had endured so much cold words and ridicule.
Xiaoxi was a ray of light in the darkness of her life. Now that this light was gone, the reason she persisted was to avenge this light.
After her revenge, she felt confused about her future.
Now, her revenge has not yet been completed, and she seems to have a reason to stay and go on.
Lin Qingjun sat there, letting Zhang Mummy kneel in front of her. She was not moved, but was just considering.
"You and I are not related in any way. The Gui Mama incident is just a favor I owed to my childhood."
Xiaoxi is her light, but not hers, so she will only look at this matter calmly. So, what reason does she have to ask her to help her?
Although Nanny Qi was a servant, she was Qi's confidant.
Killing Aunt Qi is so difficult. If there is no reason to kill her, it will implicate her and her aunt. She will not joke about her aunt's life.
But Mute Zhang said, "Old slave, I am willing to be the head nanny of Qijunyuan."
Lin Qingjun raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang added, "Although Xiaotao from the Second Young Lady's courtyard is clever, she is still young and doesn't understand many things. She can't control people."
"Besides, there are indeed fewer servants in Qijun Courtyard. Once Xiaotao goes out on errands, only you and Concubine Liu will be left in the courtyard."
"And if you also go out, leaving Concubine Liu alone, Miss, will you be at ease?"
Therefore, she can stay with Concubine Liu. With her financial resources gained in the Lin Mansion over the years, it would be difficult to take Concubine Liu away from her.
Zhang Yapo spoke cautiously and faithfully.
Lin Qingjun smiled softly, "Anyone can say nice things, and I can say it too. If you enter my Qijun Courtyard, one day I will fulfill your wish and avenge Xiaoxi and capture Aunt Qi."
Lin Qingjun put down the pen in his hand and looked at Zhang Mummy with a cold gaze.
"I don't want someone who just talks big, I want someone who can actually do it."
She didn't want to hear that kind of empty promises, nor was she happy to hear them.
If it were Lin Qingjun, who had never seen the world in his previous life, he might be moved by her voluntary surrender, but now is not the time like before.
besides.
"It's not up to me to decide who will be the steward of my Qijunyuan."
It's not her, so if she wants to be the manager, she has to offer it on her own initiative instead of asking Qi and others for it.
Mrs. Zhang was slightly stunned, with shock and strangeness flashing in her eyes.
Then, she smiled and said, "The Second Miss is really different now. She has brains and can calculate. She is neither proactive nor passive. She is not like before, being bullied in obscurity."
Mrs. Zhang stood up and knelt respectfully.
Without saying anything, he turned and left.
Lin Qingjun was the only one left here. She sat there, the breeze blowing her hair, as if nothing had happened just now.
Just when she finished her embroidery, Xiaotao ran over hurriedly.
"Miss, there's good news. The maids guarding our courtyard have withdrawn. When I came out just now, there was no one there."
Xiaotao's eyes lit up.
"From now on, there will be no one watching over our yard anymore. We can go out whenever we want and come in whenever we want without having to worry about other people's faces."
"Also, the kitchen just sent over a lot of meat and rice, enough to last us for a while."
"If I had known the kitchen would deliver it today, I could have saved the ten taels of rice and gas money yesterday."
Lin Qingjun looked at the finished drawing and nodded with satisfaction.
She laughed too.
"Look how happy you are! That old woman on duty shouldn't have been there in the first place. She didn't withdraw, but returned to normal."
"Why did we buy the rice oil for free? If there's any left, we can store it properly and eat it slowly."
"Who knows if the Madam will restrict our entry again?"
Don't forget, Lin Zhi was very angry today. With a stingy person like Qi, she will definitely blame Qijunyuan for this.
They should keep it well. As the saying goes, if there is food in the warehouse, there is no need to worry.
Xiao Tao said "oh" and then looked at the embroidery pattern in her hand.
"Miss, you have a new style this time. It's really beautiful."
The young lady in their family is really amazing. Everything she embroiders is different from others. Others embroider flowers and grass, but the young lady in their family can always embroider something different.
Even the embroidered grass is different from others.
For example, everyone likes to embroider something on a handkerchief, but her young lady embroidered a vine along the edge of the handkerchief, which looks like the vine is growing along the handkerchief. Moreover, the middle part is hollowed out, which is really eye-catching.
They all said that her aunt's embroidery skills were good, but she felt that her young lady's embroidery was more talented, not only good, but also innovative.
Lin Qingjun said, "You don't have to flatter me here. Don't expect me to help you with your own summer clothes. Do it yourself."
Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss, I'll go cut the cloth right away."
Xiaotao came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
There were no more disgusting people at the gate of the courtyard, and even the air seemed to be better.
Lin Qingjun smiled, then lowered her head, took out a piece of lavender embroidery thread, and began to embroider.
The day passed quickly and it was the day of Mrs. Qi's birthday banquet.
Qi was too tired to see them, so she just asked the maid to tell them to stay in Qijun Courtyard and not cause trouble, otherwise she would not forgive them.
Having heard such words so many times, Lin Qingjun's ears are almost callused.
She wasn't afraid before, and now she has nothing to fear. What's more, she has been waiting for this moment. Qi's departure from the Lin Mansion is also a good opportunity for her to sell embroidery.
Lin Yingxue looked back at the Lin Mansion, feeling something was not right.
"Mother, why don't you let them go with us?"
It would be great to have it right under our noses.
Qi soothed him, "Why are you coming with us? All the nobles are coming today. Do you want that damn girl to get past you? Also, I heard that the Crown Prince's Mansion will also arrange for someone to come this time."
The value of this last sentence is self-evident, right?
Lin Yingxue immediately said shyly, "Then, then I'll listen to mother in everything."
