Seizing the opportunity, Shen Ajiao threw herself into Madam Shen's arms and burst into tears, crying, "Mother, Mother, please take me back! I... I can't go on living like this!"
"If this continues, my daughter won't survive, Mother!"
Madam Shen was so dizzy from being bumped by Shen Ajiao that she almost fainted from the pain in her ribs. She tried to push Shen Ajiao away, but she was too weak. Instead, the impact caused her to take two steps back, and her lower back hit the corner of the table. She almost cried out in pain.
The servants brought by Madam Shen hurriedly stepped forward to separate Shen Ajiao and Madam Shen.
Madam Shen was in so much pain that she was convulsing, and she couldn't speak for a long time while pointing at Shen Ajiao.
That's incredibly stupid!
She's just like her slutty mother!
It's better to be dead than alive!
But considering what the master said, she had to endure it for now.
"If you can't do it, your mother has an idea for you. Do you want to listen?"
Shen Ajiao chuckled to herself, "Here she comes. Let's see what she's up to."
"Mother, please tell me, I will listen to whatever you say!" Shen Ajiao almost swore an oath, expressing her deepest gratitude.
"I'll give you a few people. You just need to arrange them in the room. You don't need to worry about anything. Just keep an eye on them!"
Madam Shen clapped her hands, and four charming and alluring maids stepped forward from behind her. "Greetings to Madam."
Shen Ajiao cried out in her heart, "God, I will never call you grandpa again! How can you treat your own granddaughter like this? Why did Lin Ruhai get so many beauties, but she didn't get a single one?"
The gears of fate eventually turned, but she faltered at the last minute and failed to win over a single beauty!
"Mother~"
"Why wouldn't you?" Madam Shen slammed her teacup down on the table. "How can your mother help you if you act like this?"
"I heard you gave Qin'er two good ideas, weren't they? Why are you unwilling to do them yourself?"
Shen Ajiao rubbed her hands, a little embarrassed. "How can they be the same?"
“Mother, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but… but…” Shen Ajiao said, her face turning bright red with embarrassment, followed by a feeling of awkwardness.
Suddenly, Madam Shen thought of something. Looking at Shen Ajiao's face, she asked in a trembling voice, "What...what's wrong with him?"
In which aspect?
If you say so, then it is!
I didn't say anything.
"and you…"
I'll give you some face.
"I...I was tormented by him, day and night..."
As soon as Shen Ajiao finished speaking, she saw her four maids tremble in unison and look at Madam Shen, "Madam~"
Who knew that Madam Shen would roll her eyes and say that if that were the case, then Lin Ruhai would be even easier to win over. How many wealthy people don't indulge in extravagance?
No wonder Lin Ruhai protected Shen Ajiao when they were in Yangzhou. Now that he's tired of her, he just puts her aside and even bullies his own daughter.
"You can keep the Lin family to serve Ajiao." At worst, she can just replace a batch with another. There's never a shortage of pretty girls, as long as they can gather information and whisper sweet nothings in her ear.
"lady……"
"Mother~"
“Silly child, your mother is only trying to help you. As long as you are in your house, any child, no matter who gave birth to it, is your child. Having a child will help you stay stable. Learn from your sister.”
Why would I imitate her?
Should she, in the prime of her life, engage in petty squabbles and jealousies within the inner quarters?
Learn from her how she argues with her mother-in-law, her husband, and even the concubine?
What's the point of having money and free time?
“Mother, I heard that my sister has been having a lot of fun lately. Why don’t we give all these people to her? She’ll definitely be more happy, and my brother-in-law will be pleased too.”
Madam Shen couldn't help but want to strangle her son-in-law whenever she thought about the unpleasant things that had happened in her daughter's backyard. He had promised to take good care of Qin'er, but as soon as she got pregnant, he started having affairs and bringing so many people into the house.
And they even said they had no choice!
And then there's the old woman from the Zhao family, who looks down on her arranged marriage and says that if Qin'er hadn't been pregnant, she would have broken off the engagement rather than marry her!
Why didn't she say this when she was looking at Qin'er's dowry? That old hag!
If it weren't for the Zhao family's prestigious lineage, she wouldn't have wanted Qin'er to marry into it.
"I've already sent it to your sister, you don't need to worry about it."
Looking at Shen Ajiao's appearance, Madam Shen sneered inwardly, wondering if that old hag Zhao would find it laughable if she really knew that the daughter-in-law she wanted to marry was like this.
"In that case, I'll accept it."
"I just happen to need someone to wash my feet and mop the floor. Thank you, Mother."
Shen Ajiao wanted to invite Madam Shen to stay for dinner, but Madam Shen looked disdainful and said she wouldn't eat such slop.
No sooner had Madam Shen left than Lin Daiyu entered. Seeing that there was an outsider present, she gestured to Shen Ajiao with her eyes.
With tears streaming down her face, Shen Ajiao spoke from the bottom of her heart, "Miss, this is someone my mother sent to serve me. Please don't take her away!"
"Any Tom, Dick, or Harry who can stay and serve in my Lin family can be thrown out!"
The four maids were terrified. They thought they were serving Lord Lin, but Lord Lin was cruel in some ways. They were on the verge of tears, but what frightened them even more was that the young lady of the house wanted to throw them out!
"Girl! Girl, please don't throw us away, we'll do anything."
Lin Daiyu glanced at the four maids, noting their somewhat improper manners, which she felt was not a good example. "What can you do? I have plenty of people to clean and sweep."
"We can dance, play instruments... and serve people!"
Lin Daiyu? My father doesn't like these things.
[Really? Is it that kind of service??]
I want to become King Zhou!
Lin Daiyu? Madam! Calm down, they're spies! You know what spies are, right?
"Take him out!"
"Take me to my room."
Lin Daiyu glared at Shen Ajiao, who shrank back and chuckled, "I'll listen to you, Miss."
The four maids shrank back, whimpering. It seemed that Miss Lin was indeed in charge of this household. Perhaps they should try to curry favor with her.
"The person's gone, ma'am!"
Amazing!
Lin Daiyu looked at the lady who was practically drooling with desire and was furious. "I'll find someone more suitable for the lady. These few people won't do."
"Okay, okay."
I'm not stupid; it won't hurt me to look.
"Then I want to see it now."
Lin Daiyu felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, so she beckoned someone over and asked, "When will Master be back today?"
"Lin'an said there's an adult hosting a banquet tonight, so he'll be back later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu ordered someone to wait at the Listening to Rain Pavilion in the west and tell them that they only need to sing and dance, nothing else. Anyone who breaks the rules will have three months' wages deducted!
"Oh, I was just listening to some music, look at you."
Lin Daiyu looked at Shen Ajiao and thought to herself that everyone loves beauty, but men only love beauty, unlike the wife, who loves both men and women.
"Let's go, I'll go with you."
"Good baby, today we're only listening to elegant music. I think we should listen to something more decadent..."
"It's good that Madam knows."
Lin Daiyu lay on the recliner with her eyes closed, resting. Shen Ajiao watched with great interest. Just then, a servant rushed in to report, "Madam, Miss, Master has returned!"
"Didn't you say you'd be back tonight?"
"What, are you so looking forward to my coming home tonight?"
Shen Ajiao...
