It fits her cannon fodder personality.
The death of the original owner was either Chen Jie's explanation to the Lin family or revenge from the Lin family who wanted her to pay with her life.
The maid was so familiar with Lin Shuwan, perhaps she worked for Lin Shuwan.
Why would the maid want to alienate the relationship between the original owner and Lin Shuwan for no reason?
Thinking of the beneficiary behind the scenes, Du Yaoyao's mind flashed with a pair of slender and greedy eyes and a cold and slippery hand.
What was hung around that person's neck was not a bead of mercy, but a clattering abacus of death!
If Lin Shuwan died, Shen Jie and the Lin family would inevitably suffer irreparable scars. No matter what, the original owner was Shen Jie's legally married wife.
The officials under the Crown Prince are not united, which is what the Prince's party likes most.
After sorting out her thoughts, Du Yaoyao wanted to find Chen Jie and explain to him the maid's instigation.
She took a step forward, but then stopped again. Isn't it normal for a maid to speak sourly? When Hong'e fell in love with Chen Jie, many people in the capital city speculated that Chen Jie would divorce his wife and marry someone else. There were too many people in the Lin family who disliked the original owner. After all, the original owner had snatched away their young lady's marriage, so it was nothing to speculate or gossip about him behind his back.
There was no way Shen Jie could be convinced that someone was trying to harm her and Lin Shuwan.
Maybe he would laugh at her for having such bizarre dreams and being suspicious all day long.
While Du Yaoyao was thinking, a round-faced maid came down from the bridge and bowed to her.
"Madam Shen, our young lady asked me to ask you, the noble ladies on the other side of the lake are going to visit the island, are you going?"
Du Yaoyao instinctively knew that she couldn't go, and saw the dark-skinned maid who had been gossiping just now go around the lake from the other side of the path.
Fearing that the other party might take some adverse action, she was forced to nod and follow them to the boarding point.
There were three boats on the shore, one of which could seat six people, and two seats had to be reserved for the maid who rowed the boat and the servant who served. Only four people could sit at a time.
The host followed the guests' wishes. The other two boats were full, leaving only Lin Shuwan's boat with an empty seat.
She invited, "Cousin-sister, would you like to sit with Shuwan?"
Even if Lin Shuwan didn't say anything, Du Yaoyao would still want to board her boat. The chattering maid just now was the maid who served Lin Shuwan's boatman.
Du Yaoyao looked at the maid. Her dark skin made her look particularly simple and honest. When she squinted her eyes and looked at her, a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Provocation, that's a provocation! Du Yaoyao screamed in her heart.
"What's wrong, cousin?" Lin Shuwan was surprised that Du Yaoyao was so slow to answer and stared at the maid on the boat.
"This is Qiuyue, the maid in my room. I think you have never seen such a dark-skinned woman, cousin?" she introduced with a smile.
Du Yaoyao suppressed her anxiety and said with a smile, "It's okay."
A brocade-dressed woman on the boat snorted, "Shu Wan, she treated you like that before, and you're so polite to her!"
Another person echoed, "That's right, there are no men here, who are you pretending to be so pitiful for!"
"Don't talk nonsense, both of you." Lin Shuwan stopped them and said gently, "I respect my cousin."
