"Before the flood, my mother had left the house and sat in the garden for a long time.
The fire was strange. It hadn't been put out for such a long time. It looked as if someone had poured tung oil on it.
Jin'er, Ran'er, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow morning, before you go to the Imperial College, come see me. I have something to tell you."
Ying Xixi's words made Lin Huijin and Lin Youran feel very nervous.
They were not sure whether she knew the truth about the fire tonight.
"yes."
After the two left, Ying Xixi looked at the yard that was still surrounded by flames, then turned and went to another idle yard.
She called the servants and asked them to clean the house immediately.
The servants nodded their heads in agreement and went back to their work. Each of them seemed to be very obedient to Ying Xixi's words and extremely loyal.
But only Ying Xixi knew that in the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion, not a single servant was her confidant!
Even the maid who served him every day was from the clan.
It seems that she has to find a way to replace the people in the mansion with her own people.
Another point is that although she is the mistress, she is in charge of all the affairs of the marquis's mansion.
But the silver that belonged to Wu'an Hou Lin Weiyi was not in her hands.
Instead, he went to the clan elders, under the pretext of managing her finances and saving her the trouble.
Every month, the clan elders would give her two taels of silver for her personal use.
But the original owner was confused and took out the silver directly for household expenses. Sometimes he even took out his own money to subsidize or give it to those two ungrateful people.
Ying Xixi opened the small bundle and looked at the silver notes and silver ingots she brought out of the house. The total was only thirty taels!
After being a mistress for eight years, she only has this little money.
This amount of money is not enough to cultivate your own confidants!
"System, I want to buy the item that turns stone into gold."
[Alright! The host spends 500 points to purchase Midas Touch! This item can be used in two planes.]
Ying Xixi temporarily stored the props in the space and went to bed with her clothes on.
Have a good rest tonight, we have to get down to business tomorrow!
The next day.
The original owner's biological clock made Ying Xixi wake up before dawn.
In the original plot, the original owner would get up early every day to take care of the two ungrateful people, or have breakfast with them.
Either he would personally make breakfast for the two ungrateful people, or do something else.
But what did the two ungrateful people do? They said the food cooked by the original owner was not tasty, and repeatedly "accidentally" knocked over the food cooked by the original owner.
Ying Xixi became furious just thinking about these scenes in the original plot.
She turned over and continued to sleep. Only an idiot would get up before dawn to serve two ungrateful people!
On the other side, Lin Huijin and Lin Youran were sitting in the hall waiting for dinner.
The brother and sister huddled together, still whispering about what happened last night.
"Brother, do you think Ying knows that we were the ones who did what happened last night?"
"They probably don't know. If they knew, Ying wouldn't have just brushed it off so lightly last night.
Don't be afraid, sister. It doesn't matter if we fail once. We'll just continue to poison her. We'll let her die before our parents come back, so that we can make room for our mother!"
Lin Huijin whispered, a sinister murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Then a smile appeared on his young face again and he coaxed his sister.
"Sister, do you have any money on you? Please lend me some."
Lin Youran opened her eyes, which were almost identical to Lin Huijin's, and said, "Brother, are you going to the gambling house again? Didn't you gamble yesterday? Are you going again today?"
"Well, yesterday is yesterday, today is today, do you have any money?
I don't want too much, just one or two ounces of silver will do. If I lend it to you, I'll find a way to get you to meet Master Su. How about that?"
When Lin Youran mentioned Master Su, her cheeks flushed. "But brother, I really don't have a single ounce of silver. This is all I have. If you want silver, you should ask Ying for it.
Isn't she always generous with money?"
Lin Huijin took his sister's purse, shook it, and sneered, "Ying is generous? She used to be generous, but ever since she knew I would go to the gambling house, she's been unwilling to give me money."
Lin Youran pursed her lips and was about to say something when the maids came in one after another carrying food.
In the past, the brother and sister’s breakfast was not rich, but it was acceptable. At least there were three dishes and a soup.
But today's breakfast is too rich!
The entire long table was filled with plates!
"Why is breakfast so rich this morning?"
Lin Youran asked a random maid.
"My lady, it was my lady's order. She said that the young master and the young lady have worked hard in school, so they should prepare more abundant food."
Upon hearing this, Lin Huijin raised his eyebrows and sneered silently.
"Where's Mother? She's not coming to have breakfast with us?"
Lin Youran continued to ask.
"My lady, the lady is still resting. She asked the young master and the young lady to go to Qingfeng Garden later. She has something to tell you two."
The maidservant left after she finished speaking.
Lin Huijin and Lin Youran had heard Ying Xixi say last night that she wanted them to go find her, so they were not surprised to hear that.
"I don't know what Ying is up to."
Lin Huijin muttered softly.
After the brother and sister finished their meal, they went to Qingfeng Garden.
The two thought Ying Xixi had already gotten up, but when they got there they found out that she was still lying there.
The brother and sister were a little unhappy. Since they hadn't stood up yet, why did they come over?
Their time is not time?
Or is it that the Ying family is deliberately playing tricks on them? !
The two of them originally wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about the fire last night, they were a little unsure about Ying Xixi's intentions.
In addition, Lin Huijin wanted to try asking Ying Xixi for money again to see if she would give it to him, so the brother and sister waited patiently for a cup of tea.
When their patience was almost running out, the door finally opened.
Ying Xixi, neatly dressed, came out.
Ying Xixi wore a light blue waist-length skirt, her three thousand black hair was combed into a bun, and decorated with hairpins and step-shakes.
Compared with her usual plain and simple appearance, she is completely different.
Lin Huijin and Lin Youran were stunned for a moment when they saw Ying Xixi like this before they saluted her properly.
"Now that you are here, you are busy going to school," the mother cut to the chase.
Mother sat in the garden for a long time last night, thinking about many things.
It is difficult to find something you are pursuing in life. Once something you want to pursue finally appears, everyone wants to grab it.
Ran'er, mother understands you. Since you like Mr. Su, then mother has no objection. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters.
Ask Master Su to come over some other day so that Mother can meet him and see if he wants to marry you."
