Hongmei was in a dilemma and didn't want to listen to her, but she was worried that she was the young lady's mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a clear and pleasant voice came from behind her.
"Hongmei, put the washbasin over there."
When Hongmei saw the young lady coming, she shouted happily, "Young lady, you are up."
Bei Yutang looked at Lin and leaned slightly towards her, "Good morning, mother-in-law."
Lin responded indifferently.
Hongmei followed the young lady's instructions, placed the washbasin on the wooden rack, and handed her a clean, brand new towel. Bei Yutang washed up under Hongmei's care.
Lin, who was standing by, watched the scene, a hint of jealousy flickering across her frown.
"Luhe, where are the people?" Bei Yutang asked.
"The old lady asked her to go out and buy groceries."
"That girl has never bought vegetables before. Why let her go out? Don't let her get bullied by some bad vegetable vendors." Bei Yutang said softly.
Hongmei smiled and said, "I am worried too."
The master and servant talked as if no one was around.
In her previous life, there was a similar incident. Lv He didn't understand the market and happened to meet a dishonest vegetable vendor, who cheated her out of an extra hundred coins. Lin used this as an excuse to have the original owner drive away the two maids, Lv He and Hong Mei.
They said that as maids, how could they not know the vegetable prices outside? They might have been dishonest and embezzled the money.
The original owner believed in her maid's innocence, but because she had just married, she didn't want to disobey her mother-in-law's wishes. It happened that the house in her home was very crowded, and it was not a good idea for the four maids and old women to squeeze into such a room.
The original owner followed her mother-in-law's advice and sent the two maids, Hongmei and Luhe, back to the Bei family.
Afterwards, the two old women were sent back by Lin using various excuses. From that time on, the original owner no longer had anyone from the Bei family around her, and Lin's true face was gradually revealed, and her hard days began.
Lin interrupted them, "Where's my son? Why did you come out alone?"
Bei Yutang tilted her head. "Yibo is still lying in bed. I saw he was exhausted last night, so I let him sleep a little longer. Since mother-in-law asked him to get up, I'll have Hongmei bring some water over to help him wash up."
Lin waved her hand, "No need."
Humph, it was her fault that her son was exhausted last night.
Lin felt that she had to talk to her about something. She didn't know how to avoid it, and she still had other thoughts in mind. She reminded her directly in the kitchen, in front of Hongmei and the two maids, "Daughter-in-law Yutang, as your mother-in-law, I have to remind you that Bo'er is a man who wants to pass the imperial examination. Don't cling to him and drain his body."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hongmei and the two maids' expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Lin in surprise.
It was normal for a newlywed couple to have more sex. Their daughter had just married, so they didn't want her to be a widow.
The atmosphere in the kitchen became extremely subtle because of Lin's words.
Bei Yutang, the person involved, was neither embarrassed nor angry. She smiled and said, "Mother-in-law is right. Starting tomorrow, I will pay attention."
Seeing that she was so obedient, Lin didn't say anything else.
