Shen Ajiao glanced at Lin Daiyu, whose face was flushed. She looked like a normal young lady from a respectable family and should be strong.
Before Shen Ajiao could finish speaking, they heard someone outside stop their carriage.
“Miss, Madam Lin, we are from the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion. We have come to take you to our mansion.”
Just as Lin Daiyu was about to reply, she heard Chen Chen Ajiao singing cheerfully, "[She's coming, she's coming, she's coming with arrogance and prejudice~]"
arrogant?
bias?
What a joke! Her father was a third-rank salt inspector personally appointed by His Majesty, and her mother was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong. How could a servant be so prejudiced and arrogant?
It's like a pig sticking a scallion in its nose, trying to look like an elephant.
Who is it?
As soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she saw a hand reaching into the carriage. She initially thought it was her maid, but when she lifted it, she found it was a face she didn't recognize.
An old woman, around forty years old, scrutinized Lin Daiyu from head to toe with a blatant gaze. Lin Daiyu felt only disgust and offense at her stare.
"Who goes there? Get off!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and slapped her across the face.
"Who are you, daring to get on our young lady's carriage?"
They then dragged and pulled the person out.
[Lin Baobao is awesome! Lin Baobao is so powerful!]
Ahhh, I love Lin Baobao so much! Lin Baobao finally knows how to resist, waaaaah…
Lin Daiyu smiled helplessly. Isn't this normal? Even the most favored maids and servants don't look up and down their mistresses. It's really the lower class bullying the higher-ups, and they have no manners at all.
“We are from the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion, that is, the family of Miss Lin’s maternal grandparents. I am Zhou Rui’s wife, a maidservant of Lady Wang of the second branch of Rongguo Mansion. I even went to see my aunt off when she got married.” Zhou Rui’s wife covered her face. How could these people be so unreasonable and fierce? They started hitting her as soon as they came up. She would wait until she got back.
"An old woman from the second branch of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion? Is she important? Has she saved the country and the people? Or has she turned the tables and become the master of her own destiny!" Granny Lin spat at Zhou Rui's wife, an old woman in her forties, dressed in flamboyant clothes. If you knew she was a servant, you would think she was some kind of grandmother.
"What are you saying, elder sister? We're just servants, doing what our masters say."
Granny Lin snorted coldly. Listen to your master? Has your master taught you to be so unruly? What kind of scoundrel are you?
"You know you're a servant, how dare a servant get on our young lady's carriage! What kind of behavior is this? Get out!"
This infuriated Granny Lin. Their young lady was treated like royalty. Even without any family ties, she could go to any house and be picked up by a master. What was Zhou Rui's wife?
Just because they're from the maternal family, they dare to intimidate her daughter?
You're like a dung beetle wearing a mask, shameless!
"Please calm down, elder sister. I'm just here to let you know that our second mistress will be arriving shortly." Zhou Rui's wife was inwardly groaning. She was just a servant, yet she was being scolded. Her old face was burning with embarrassment. She quickly pointed out the real mistress so she wouldn't have to hear any more of this.
"Give me a heads-up? Wow, how impressive!" Just before dying, I got slapped, and this is ridiculous—giving me a heads-up?
Lin Mama didn't even glance at Zhou Rui's wife. She waved her hand and ordered her servants and maids to be driven away, not allowing them to get any closer.
"Girl, they've been driven away by this old servant."
Lin Daiyu naturally heard everything that was being said outside, and she was quite angry. So what if they were driven away? It wasn't a big deal.
If you don't want to think about her, then don't. Why do you have to come here and disgust her? It just makes people feel annoyed.
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Ah~ This is the first time I've faced such a storm head-on. In the first round, Granny Lin knocked out Zhou Rui's wife—a complete victory!]
[Wasn't Zhou Rui's wife used to be incredibly arrogant, capable of handling things on behalf of her master? Now she doesn't seem so capable anymore.]
What's wrong with Madam Wang? How could someone like her become a confidante?
Is it a case of treating people differently based on who they are?
When Shen Ajiao said that she treated people differently based on their status, Lin Daiyu was furious. She had heard her mother say that she had a bad relationship with her second sister-in-law before she got married. She never expected that after all these years, it would be her turn to be treated the same way.
This is clearly because they think she's young and easy to bully. What kind of person she was as the second aunt is now just a nobody.
"Let's go home."
Since they bullied her, she could bully them back, right? She's not some orphan with no one to rely on!
It's better not to go to the Jia family mansion. Anyway, my father said it's better to stay away for peace and quiet.
This is the confidence a proper young lady should have—knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
Shen Ajiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go home."
Zhou Rui's wife was extremely anxious, watching the Lin family's carriage leave, knowing she would inevitably get a scolding when she got back.
She wanted to slap herself. What a fool she'd been, trying to act so high and mighty in front of her cousin! Now she'd lost all face. Seeing the looks in the eyes of the maids and servants behind her, Zhou Rui's wife angrily raised her hand and slapped the maid beside her. "What a thing!"
Even if she's not the best, she's still the second wife's confidante, so no matter what, she's not someone the second wife can laugh at.
"Hey, who's angered Zhou Rui's family, getting so worked up?"
Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Rui's wife thought, "My savior has arrived!"
He hurriedly stepped forward and said in a humble voice, "Second Madam, you've come! It's this old servant's fault for failing in his duties; the Lin family's carriage has left!"
Wang Xifeng raised a brow. "What do you mean, 'left'?"
Where did they go?
She just arrived?
Looking at the expressions of those around her, Wang Xifeng knew that Zhou Rui's wife had messed things up, with her face red and swollen, her hair disheveled, and her expression timid. No wonder she was angry and slapped someone!
"What an arrogant official attitude! Doesn't he even look in the mirror to see how many hairs he has before he dares to be so presumptuous!"
Zhou Rui's wife didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal, and could only say some nice things, telling Wang Xifeng to go after the Lin family.
Wang Xifeng had no choice; the world was in a difficult time, and a higher-ranking official could easily crush a lower one, so she truly couldn't afford to offend them.
He immediately boarded the carriage and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and leave!"
Fortunately, there were few people on the road, and Wang Xifeng quickly caught up with the Lin family carriage, which was carrying a lot of belongings and moving slowly.
Shen Ajiao and Lin Di Daiyu were holding hands, discussing what to put in their respective courtyards and what to add the next day.
Then they heard someone shout from behind, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Shen Ajiao immediately became interested. Who was it this time?
Lin Daiyu remained silent as if she hadn't heard anything. The people outside, not hearing the young lady's or lady's voices, did not stop and continued walking forward.
Wang Xifeng lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the fifteen or sixteen carriages on the official road. She was also astonished. This Lin sister's family was indeed extraordinary.
But seeing that the Lin family's carriage showed no sign of stopping, she wondered to herself that Zhou Rui's wife must have said something wrong and offended them.
If the Lin family leaves, Uncle Lin won't get off easy either.
The thought of Uncle Lin made Wang Xifeng shudder. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly told people to hurry up. When they reached the same level as Lin Daiyu's carriage, she quickly got off.
"Sister, it's me, Sister-in-law Lian!"
