After seeing off Cao Zhiyan, Xiao Yuan'er, and the others, Shen Ajiao tearfully checked the things they had brought, drooling with satisfaction.
"Pearls, agate, jade bracelets..."
"A chest of gold..."
Hiss~
This is for Lin Ruhai, to give her and Lin Baobao some money to live on!
These girls are so rich!!!
Oh my god, whose friend is this?
Oh! It's my friend!
Lin Daiyu: Look at Madam's worthless appearance, you little money-grubber.
Shen Ajiao, you don't understand. Back when she started from the bottom, she only made 5,000 a month. Waaah, she worked hard for a little bonus, and even if she didn't eat or drink, she could only earn 80,000 a year!
After three years of hard work, I finally got the job done, got promoted, and became the general manager, earning a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan.
Although she doesn't lack money normally, she still cherishes her meager salary...
After all, everyone who works loves money!
Seeing Shen Ajiao's greedy appearance, Lin Daiyu waved her hand and sent all the things into Shen Ajiao's room.
This incredible wealth and fortune is about to arrive!
The next day, instead of Lin Ruhai returning, an uninvited guest arrived.
"Miss Xue?"
"Mrs. Lin."
Shen Ajiao looked at Xue Baochai, dressed in men's clothing, with great admiration; she possessed a unique charm.
She deliberately drew her eyebrows thick, wiped off her lipstick and rouge, and changed out of her silk skirt.
[He looks just like a young man; if you didn't look closely, you'd think he was some nobleman's son.]
Xue Baochai: Mrs. Lin, I'll take that as a compliment!
Lin Daiyu: Miss Xue is truly remarkable and has great courage.
Seeing the admiration in Shen Ajiao's eyes, Xue Baochai knew that she had made the right bet. Now that she was in charge of the Xue family business, it was not as prosperous as it had been during her father's lifetime, but it was gradually becoming stable.
She had just returned from Tongzhou yesterday when she heard that Lord Lin had suddenly passed away.
She had thought that with the Jia family still around, Miss Lin would at least have her maternal grandmother to protect her. But her mother came back from the Jia family yesterday with a mysterious smile, saying that her eldest cousin was coming home for a visit, and that the old lady wanted Miss Lin to be Baoyu's wife, etc.
She didn't need to think much to know what they were up to. A chill ran through her. Even in this state, her closest relatives weren't thinking about how to protect and comfort her; instead, they were all scheming against her!
If that were the case, Mrs. Lin would certainly not have a good ending.
She was grateful to Mrs. Lin, even though it was mostly due to personal circumstances, she was still grateful and came to visit today.
“I just got back yesterday and heard about your family’s situation. Since we’re all relatives, I came over to visit.”
Shen Ajiao looked at Xue Baochai, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated. What a kind-hearted girl she was. "It's alright. It's kind of you to come."
When Xue Baochai's father passed away, she was still young and still remembers the heartache of losing her beloved father. Now, Miss Lin must be in the same situation as she was back then, but saying anything now is superfluous.
"This was found for me by the shopkeeper when I went to Tongzhou. I think it's pretty good, and it's also good for passing the time in my spare time."
He then ordered someone to bring over a large box and open it. "These are shadow puppets. I heard there are people making them over at Tianqiao. They can't compare to those opera troupes, but they'll still be entertaining."
Ahhh, the essence of Chinese culture! Here it comes!
She'd seen it once before in college, but after graduation, she was busy with her family's company, working herself to the bone, and had no time for this kind of thing.
But she still can't forget that shadow puppet show during her university club activities, which was absolutely amazing!
Stay calm, stay calm. Don't give yourself away in front of outsiders. This is supposed to be a sad occasion; it's not good to be so happy.
Lin Daiyu: Madam, you must hold back!
Xue Baochai: Poor Mrs. Lin, she knew that Mrs. Lin and Lord Lin's relationship was just a facade. It's a pity that none of the Xue family's sons are good, otherwise... never mind, just let it go.
"Mrs. Lin, there is no need to worry. If you need anything, just send someone to the Xue family shop to let them know."
Don't worry, if there's no need, I'll create a need, hahaha!
[By the way, why hasn't Xiangling gone out?]
Xiangling? The maid my brother kidnapped last time?
It seems this matter can't be kept secret any longer. A few days ago, her brother asked her mother for that maid. She thought that since she had taken her by force, she would have a hard time explaining herself if the maid's family came looking for her. So she decided to have her serve in her own room.
Since Mrs. Lin wants it, we'll just do her a favor and send it over.
It's better to live a restless life at home.
The next day, Shen Ajiao looked at the little maidservant that Xue Baochai had sent over. She noticed a red dot between her eyebrows. The little maidservant was petite and pretty, a beauty in the making.
【No, why are you sending this to me?】
[Could it be that I can write poetry?]
Lin Daiyu: So, in the end, my studies were still neglected...
Xiangling was a little timid. She didn't want to leave the girl, but the girl told her that she had to come here, and that the girl might help her go home.
"Greetings to Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin."
Shen Ajiao was a bit irritable. She had a lot of things to deal with herself, and Xue Baochai was just one big one. She also had to find her parents.
Lin Daiyu, so this girl was sent by Xue Baochai to learn poetry? Why didn't she come herself?
I really misjudged her yesterday, humph.
You think you can bribe me with just a shadow puppet show?
Is it too late for me to download an anti-fraud app now?
Xiangling became even more timid, lying on the ground, afraid to get up, as if something could devour her. Seeing her timidity, Lin Daiyu quickly told her to get up.
Xiangling lowered her head, but remembering what the young lady had said when she arrived, she braced herself and said, "Please, Madam, young lady, take me in."
