"Xiaojiu, no? How could coffee be poisonous? We are at home, you have to trust your dad." Lin Hong felt that his daughter was a little jumpy. Thinking that she came from a small place after all, he shook his head secretly and drank the coffee in one breath.
The housekeeper looked at Feng Pingping in horror.
Feng Pingping was about to say something to Lin Hong when Lin Hong covered his stomach and said, "There's something wrong with this coffee!"
Then Lin Hong's expression became uncontrollably ferocious. He fell off his chair in pain and asked, "Why didn't you let me drink it just now? What did you put in it?"
Feng Pingping quickly took the initiative to question the butler, "Butler, what's going on with the coffee?"
The housekeeper immediately argued, "I didn't do anything. Mother Zhong bought the coffee."
"Mr. Lin, I'm innocent. I just saw the housekeeper put something in the coffee cup and thought she was adding sugar..." Mother Zhong quickly explained, even bringing along Mrs. Wu, who was in charge of sweeping the floor, "Mrs. Wu saw it too!"
Seeing that he could not argue, the housekeeper felt guilty and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I never intended to harm Mr. Lin. Just now... I was resentful of Miss Lin Jiu's scolding, so I put laxatives in the coffee..."
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Lin Hong couldn't help but fart. He was so embarrassed in front of Lin Jiu that his face turned red. "You are fired. Get out of the Lin family!"
After saying that, he ran to the bathroom, and the others also tactfully left the living room.
Lin Jiu leaned back, his eyes fixed on the purple clay teapot on the coffee table.
The surroundings finally quieted down, and her thoughts went back to five years ago.
In her previous life, the housekeeper had burned her hand with this purple clay teapot. Now, such a thing would never happen again.
She returned to the room prepared for her by the Lin family and was about to rest when she suddenly remembered that her backpack, which contained the bracelet her mother left for her, was left in the car.
Lin Jiu went out and opened the car door. The car seat was empty, with no sign of the backpack at all.
At this time, Mother Zhong came to Lin Jiu's side. She had a long-standing grudge against the housekeeper and had just been nearly tricked by the housekeeper.
She immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Lin Jiu, the housekeeper took your bag when she left just now. According to her usual habit, she should take it to the flea market to sell it."
Lin Jiu glanced at the road outside the villa yard and walked towards the pink Porsche in the garage.

Following Zhong Ma's suggestion, Lin Jiu found the second-hand goods recycling market that the housekeeper often went to.
After asking along the way, it turned out that the housekeeper had been here before and sold Lin Jiu's backpack to the second-hand goods owner Ah Si.
After all, the butler had seen the world and recognized at a glance that the bracelet was very expensive.
But Ah Si still cheated the housekeeper and accepted the priceless bracelet for three thousand yuan.
When Lin Jiu found his destination, Ah Si was sitting proudly in front of the door basking in the sun.
"Three thousand yuan, you are really a talent." Lin Jiu walked into Ah Si's second-hand shop. There were many old books and old porcelain on the counter.
When Ah Si heard this, he knew that the other party must have come for the bracelet.
Ah Si took out Lin Jiu's backpack and threw it to her, "I can give you another 3,000 yuan, and I'll also give you this backpack."
Lin Jiu took the backpack. Except for the bracelet, everything else was still there. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Ah Si, right? You should know why I'm here."
At this time, the surrounding people slowly gathered to watch the fun.
The market was not big, and the news that Ah Si had bought a gold and jade bracelet for three thousand yuan spread throughout the market, and many people were envious and jealous.
Now that they heard that someone was coming to settle the score with Ah Si, they all came over to watch the fun.
But when they saw that it was just a young girl, they lost hope.
After all, Ah Si has been around for so many years and is no pushover. It's obvious at first glance that this girl is no match for Ah Si.
Ah Si slowly stood up and flung open his folding fan. "Where did this little rascal come from to act like a troublemaker here? The goods have been taken, and we are clear of both parties."
He shook his head again and walked towards Lin Jiu step by step. "Who are you to that old woman just now? Now I will give you another thousand yuan. If you still refuse to leave here..."
