Chapter 112 Huang Yue's Plan

Nanny Wan brought people to search Huang Yue's room thoroughly.

After a while, a small millstone that looked like a toy was found in a pile of debris.

Huang Yue was startled when she saw this thing being turned out.

"What is this?" Lu Lingyun saw it at a glance.

It was obvious that the small millstone had been used to grind many things, and there was a lot of powder stuck in the gaps. Huang Yue flew in front of Lu Lingyun and grabbed the small millstone tightly, tears streaming down her face before she could say anything, "Madam, this is a little toy my father made for me!"

"Why are you so nervous? I just want to take a look." Lu Lingyun looked at her with a smile.

"Madam, this is a relic my father left me!" Huang Yue hugged the small millstone tightly and cried loudly, "When I was young, my parents worked day and night to grind beans and make tofu. I wanted to help them, and my father felt sorry for my young age, so he made this small millstone for me."

"When they used the big millstone to grind the beans, I sat on the side and followed along with the grinding with this small millstone. Now that my parents are gone, they left this thing to me. Madam, you can ask Xiaoyue for anything you want, even her life, but Xiaoyue really can't give you this millstone."

Huang Yue cried so touchingly, and her story was so moving that everyone in the room stopped talking and looked at Huang Yue with sympathetic and compassionate eyes.

After all, we are all low-level people. Even those who followed Lu Lingyun out would feel sorry for what they saw here.

Everyone is born and raised by parents. Even if the family is not poor, you cannot ask your children to become slaves.

This is why Lu Lingyun had no choice but to ask her for the thing. Her parents were dead and left her a worthless item to remember her by. Even though she was the mistress of the house, she could not force her to take it in public.

If you force it, it shows that you are the master and you don't treat your servants as human beings at all.

Lu Lingyun narrowed his eyes and said, "Huang Yue, your filial piety is commendable."

"Thank you, Madam, for your understanding and your support." Huang Yue hurriedly walked up the steps to express her gratitude.

"But I think your little toy is very cute, and the young master just happens to be in need of some toys. I want to spend ten taels of silver to buy it to please him and let him play with it for a while. I will return it to you in a few days."

Just now, Huang Yue carried her and told her to be the master so she couldn't ask for it directly. Now Lu Lingyun asked to buy it, and she wanted to buy it for the young master Cheng Bingan for a few days for ten taels of silver. This was definitely a huge favor to her.

If ordinary servants and maids heard this, let alone playing with it for a few days, even giving it to the young master for free would be a huge honor for them.

The young master is interested in a worthless thing like yours, so why would he charge for it?

But when Huang Yue heard Lu Lingyun say this, her brows knitted into a 川 character, and her fair face once again became aggrieved and victimized, "Madam, this is the only legacy my parents left me. If it were anything else, it would be for the young master to play with. Just take it. Forget about the money, even one more word would be an insult to Xiao Yue."

"But Xiaoyue wants to keep this small millstone, and she doesn't clean it properly. If she soils the young master, Xiaoyue will be a sinner!"

Huang Yue was crying again, but this time, people around her did not sympathize with her. Instead, they thought she was ignorant and had no manners.

The owner didn't refuse to pay for her things because he liked them, and they weren't lost or damaged. He just borrowed them for a few days and gave her money and said he would return them. Even if they were relics, he wouldn't be so stingy.

She cried all the time, as if Lu Lingjun was still bullying her.

Lu Lingyun looked at Huang Yue who was holding on to the thing and refused to let go, and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to, then forget it."

The eyes of the people around looked at Huang Yue, and all of them turned into disgust.

Lu Lingyun led the group out. Several maids passed by Huang Yue and whispered, "I've never seen anyone as stingy as you!"

"How is the young lady treating us servants? Who wouldn't say something nice? Besides, the young lady is helping you investigate a case, but she is still reluctant to borrow something from you. You really gave her a favor, but you are taking advantage of her."

"Just hold on to your broken millstone! No one will want to associate with you anymore if you are so stingy!"

Huang Yue directly offended a group of people this time.

No matter if it's those around Lu Lingyun or those on the side of Yaoguang Pavilion.

Huang Yue was usually innocent and lovely, and was liked and supported by many people. However, everyone had to take sides, and seeing how stingy and ignorant Huang Yue was, she quickly aroused the disgust of a group of servants.

Interpersonal relationships are a subtle thing and can be very useful at critical moments.

For example, she just set up Lu Lingyun so that she couldn't ask her for things directly in front of the maids and servants, which was using her connections.

Lu Lingyun could have forced it regardless of everyone's opinion, but doing so would have put herself in opposition to her subordinates, directly losing a lot of their goodwill and trust.

Although Lu Lingyun, as the mistress of the house, does not care about this, there is no need for her prestige and goodwill to be ruined in such a place. It is not worth it and a loss.

Lu Lingyun had to protect her reputation, which meant she couldn't always show off her majesty and suppress others.

Huang Yue just realized this and made good use of her connections.

But she didn't expect that Lu Lingyun would call her back with just a few words, which ruined all her popularity.

From now on, whenever Huang Yue cries, people will not immediately think how wronged and innocent she is. Instead, they will only think of her stinginess and lack of manners, which has caused her cries to lose half their power.

Huang Yue saw a group of people sneering at her, feeling disgusted and disappointed. She knew that she had lost the hearts of a large number of people. However, the hot thing in her hand protected her!

She looked around and saw that everyone had left, so she quickly hid her millstone under the bed and quickly followed them.

Here, Lu Lingyun led people to Linglong's house.

Linglong had been beaten today, and saw Huang Yue's house turned upside down, so she didn't dare to stop them or say anything.

He stood aside quietly, waiting for Lu Lingyun to search.

Lu Lingjun gave Nanny Wan a look, and everyone started searching again.

After a while, when Nanny Wan was shaking off the exquisite quilt, a bell rang crisply, and a silver hairpin fell out from the nest of the exquisite quilt.

When Linglong saw this scene, her eyes widened and her pretty face turned pale with fright.

Huang Yue, who had rushed over, saw this and a hint of joy flashed across her eyes.

Fortunately, fortunately, although I just suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Lingyun, I didn't escape in the end!

She cried out and rushed over, "This is my hairpin!"

Linglong already knew that she was being plotted against. She argued in a panic, "Madam, I really didn't do this!"

"Now the evidence is solid. My things were found in your quilt. What else can you claim to have?" Huang Yue angrily scolded Linglong with gleaming eyes.

The pride in his eyes could not be hidden.

Humph, this bitch is fighting with her! She can't kill her!
