Chapter 517 Why? Does she deserve it?
Chapter 517 Why? Does she deserve it?
Lin Chang'er turned to look at Liu Zi, smiled, lowered her head, fanned the fire in the stove, looked at Liu Zi again, and smiled.
Liu Zi: "..." What's going on? What's with Miss Lin's expression? Why can't I see any sense of crisis? Could it be that because the young lady is so upright, she assumes everyone else is the same?
No, he had to remind the girl that the world was a dangerous place.
Liu Zi looked around to make sure no one was there before moving closer to Lin Chang'er and whispering, "Miss, it's good that you're magnanimous, but others may not be."
"Your uprightness does not mean that others are as upright as you."
"You don't compete or fight, but that doesn't stop others from competing and fighting..."
Lin Chang'er hummed in response, looking at Liu Zi, "You mean to say..."
He pointed to the direction of the doorway outside, and then to the house where Wu Qingfeng usually lived.
Liu Zi nodded hurriedly, "Miss, I understand, I understand."
Lin Chang'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to herself that he was quite concerned. She added that if Wu Qingfeng knew that his brother, who had gone through thick and thin with him, didn't approve of him in matters of the heart, he would surely be furious.
Seeing that she remained calm and silent, Liu Zi grew anxious. "Miss, I'm not exaggerating, they say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chang'er suddenly winked at him and then coughed lightly.
Liu Zi was puzzled. "Miss, are you bothered by the smoke? Why don't you go and rest for a while? I'll watch the fire for you."
"Since you're so free, why don't you go to the sugarcane field to compost?"
Liu Zi was startled; that voice belonged to his young master.
His neck, like a rough, unpolished wooden gear, clicked and clacked as he turned his head, only to find that his young master had somehow led the young lady he had been fighting over and snatching closer.
Liu Zi's eyes widened, and he turned around to look at Lin Chang'er with a strong sense of illicit interest.
Lin Chang'er nodded affirmatively and told him that Wu Qingfeng had heard everything.
Liu Zi's last bit of hope vanished instantly. He chuckled and scratched his head, "Young Master, I was just joking with Master Lin!"
Wu Qingfeng glanced at him; he had heard everything. He lightly scolded, "Useless..."
Liu Zi still had a playful, grinning expression.
Following behind Wu Qingfeng, Cai Jiaojiao scolded, "A mere servant dares to speak ill of his master! He has no manners whatsoever and deserves a beating and to be sold off..."
Looking at Wu Qingfeng, her voice softened, "Cousin, you are too kind, which is why the servants below have such audacity. If you care about the bond between master and servant, I am willing to discipline them on your behalf."
Lin Chang'er frowned. What's going on? Don't you even know whose territory this is before you start acting wildly?
He cleared his throat lightly. "Miss Cai, have you forgotten the lesson from last time? Do you even know where you are?"
"This is Linshui Village, so stop with your backyard scheming and backstabbing."
"Besides, Liu Zi and the others are now working for me, so I'm in charge of their rewards and punishments. You don't need to worry about it."
“You…” Cai Jiaojiao could never forget the grudge of being smeared with mud in her face last time. She got angry whenever she saw Lin Chang’er.
Therefore, seeing Liu Zi chatting and laughing with Lin Chang'er, Lin Chang'er, unable to move, wanted to vent her anger on Liu Zi.
Who would have thought that this shrew would actually defend her own?
And then I heard that my cousin actually assigned his servants to this shrew? Why? Does she deserve it?
Cai Jiaojiao was so angry that her mouth twisted into a crook. She said sarcastically, "I was wondering whose servant was so unruly. It turns out to be you, you shrew. No wonder. A widow, you don't know how to avoid suspicion. You show your face in public every day and even try to climb the social ladder. Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"
Lin Chang'er blinked. "Did you eat a mad dog?"
It bites randomly as soon as it opens its mouth.
She rolled her eyes. "Who says widows should shut themselves in and wallow in self-pity? That's your way of life, Cai Jiaojiao. I, Lin Chang'er, don't agree with it."
"What did the widow do wrong that she can't live with dignity?"
“So what if I show my face in public and live a good life? I not only live a good life myself, but I also lead the whole village to live a good life.”
After a pause, she said, "So you're trying to climb the social ladder, huh? But you're the only one who's willing to let me climb the high branch you're talking about, not you. Aren't you angry?"
“Lin Chang’er…” Cai Jiaojiao always considered herself a noble lady, and Lin Chang’er’s words just now were undoubtedly a blow to her dignity.
She had never been treated like this in the capital, and immediately raised her hand to strike Lin Chang'er.
"Enough!" Her wrist was grabbed first, and a deep male voice scolded her, "Didn't you come here to take care of me, cousin?"
Cai Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before remembering her real purpose. She had come to curry favor with her aunt, but seeing Lin Chang'er, that vile woman, made her so angry that she had forgotten about it for a moment.
Cai Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Chang'er hatefully, but when she turned to Wu Qingfeng, she became obedient and charming again. "What my cousin said is important. Visiting my aunt is more important. Jiaojiao won't bother with such a boor."
Wu Qingfeng grunted in response and strode forward. Cai Jiaojiao hurriedly followed. From an angle where Cai Jiaojiao couldn't see him, Wu Qingfeng secretly glanced at Lin Chang'er, his face full of apology.
Lin Chang'er waved her hand; the idea was still hers.
Although she didn't want to see this brainless cousin again, she was willing to endure it for the sake of Madam Wu and her aunt.
Of course, even if she couldn't resist, she wouldn't force herself to do it.
After all, she has never been the type to compromise herself for the sake of others.
Wu Qingfeng initially refused to let Cai Jiaojiao come, but couldn't think of a better candidate, so he listened to Lin Chang'er.
The two finally agreed that Cai Jiaojiao would personally bring the news of Madam Wu's "serious illness" back to the capital.
This makes it more credible.
Since everything had been agreed upon beforehand, Lin Chang'er didn't feel wronged at all.
Anyway, she never loses out when it comes to verbal sparring, but when it comes to real fighting, those little karami guys are no match for her.
So, Wu Qingfeng waved indifferently, while Liu Zi, filled with righteous indignation, punched and kicked Cai Jiaojiao's back.
After they had gone some distance, he comforted Lin Chang'er, "Girl, don't listen to her. Just like I told you, this is Linshui Village, your territory."
"If you raise your arm and call, who wouldn't obey? Even the young master has to give you some leeway, let alone a dog-faced, pig-faced cousin."
Then he complained, "Young master, you really are something. It's been so long, why haven't you sent him back yet? Are you keeping him around for the New Year? It's really annoying."
Having stayed in the village for a while, the digital brothers have become much more lively.
The villagers had long regarded them as their own, and naturally, they talked more in front of Lin Chang'er.
However, he wronged Wu Qingfeng in this matter, as he had allowed Cai Jiaojiao to linger at the post station, waiting for Madam Wu to arrive.
Lin Chang'er had planned this out long ago.
However, in order to make the play more realistic, he didn't tell anyone except for himself and Wu Qingfeng, who were essential to know.
It's not that I don't trust their character, it's just that I don't trust their acting skills.
Although Cai Jiaojiao isn't very bright, what if?
What if they suddenly have a brainwave?
Lin Chang'er didn't want to gamble, so she had to make Liu Zi and the others suffer.
Liu Zi had no idea what she was thinking, watching Wu Qingfeng's figure disappear from sight.
Thinking of something, her expression suddenly turned serious. "Miss, our mistress's illness..."
