Chapter 167: Not afraid of strong enemies
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Since Hua Yin came here, she must be someone she trusted. Wan Xin, are we sure?" Jiang asked with a worried look on his face.
Wan Xin didn't expect that Jiang, who was once fearless and not even afraid of Liu, was so cautious now that she really didn't know what Hua Yin did during this period.
Wanxin believed that as long as he was a human, he would have weaknesses. What's the point of even if this Taoist priest was really Hua Yin's person? They were originally based on certain interests. If it was a benefit, it would be much easier to deal with. Wanxin gave Jiang a few reassurance, and then Jiang left half-believingly, asking Wanxin to wait for her news.
"Miss, now all the bamboos in your yard are gone. Are we going to find the fifth concubine now?" Although Bai Zhi has not been around Wanxin for a long time, she knew that this bamboo has extraordinary significance for Wanxin.
Wan Xin shook her head, the bamboo was gone, and her last attachment to the Shen family also disappeared. If she went to find Hua Yin now, she might have fallen into the trap. Looking at the attitude of the Shen family's servants, Wan Xin could somewhat guess Hua Yin's contempt for Wan Xin. After Jiang found the Taoist priest, she would return all the accounts to Hua Yin at one time.
Bai Zhi didn't expect that the lady would return to the house in a quiet voice and did not mention the bamboo. Although Bai Zhi was puzzled, her master's affairs could not allow her to interfere. No matter what Wan Xin did, she must have a reason.
At this time, Hua Yin had already learned that Wan Xin had returned home. She was sitting in the house in gorgeous clothes. The appearance of the maid next to Liu was no longer found on her face. Because her pregnancy made her body more and more abundant, Hua Yin could not see herself in the mirror at all. Her long nails with her pilled colour were now deeply stuck in her palm. "What? You said that Jiang had gone to Tingzhuyuan?"
The little maid kneeling below nodded tremblingly. Liu was already very harsh, but compared with Hua Yin, no servant didn't miss Liu. Perhaps because he had been a servant, Hua Yin was better at abuse of harsh servants. Seeing that Jiang, who had been a member of the Liu family, who had been separated from Liu, was now fighting with Hua Yin without any resistance. Everyone complained, but everyone swallowed their anger and dared not speak out.
Hua Yin's expression changed and she swept everything at her hand to the ground in an instant. "Bitch, all of them are bitches!" The servants in the room knelt down in unison, looking at this master with uncertain yin and yang, I don't know who is going to be unlucky again.
"Come here." Hua Yin hooked her fingers at the maid who was shaking like a sieve in front of her. The little maid looked at Hua Yin's gloomy and terrifying face and swallowed silently. Beads of sweat as big as soybeans on her forehead had rolled down, and she knelt down step by step to Hua Yin's legs. Hua Yin stretched out her hand and hooked up the little maid's chin, "You said Wan Xin learned that all the bamboos were cut by me, but there was no reaction?"
The little maid nodded like pounding garlic. When Hua Yin saw the maid's reaction, she pushed her away instantly and laughed happily, "Everyone said Wan Xin, she is extremely cunning. I think she is also bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. It seems that she already knows who the master of this mansion is. Hahaha, my belly is not like Liu. I am a real child who is like a fake one, hahaha."
The servants in the room were in a good mood when they saw Hua Yin, and everyone instantly let down a high heart and showed relief.
Hua Yin waited for Wan Xin in the house for two days, but she had not seen her come. Now Mr. Shen is not at home because of his business. Hua Yin asked the maid beside him, "You said that she has been back for so many days and has not come to pay hello to me. Isn't it inappropriate to be reasonable?"
The little maid dared not disobey Hua Yin and said obediently, "Maybe the legitimate lady is still sad for those bamboos." Before she finished speaking, Hua Yin's backhanded and her mouth was already sucked, and the maid's eyes instantly looked like stars.
"Sad? I clearly don't take me, the fifth aunt, seriously! Now that the master is not in the mansion, Jiang can't deal with these things. Although I am pregnant, I still want to teach you how to respect the elders. Do you think so?" Hua Yin glanced at the little maid who had just been beaten.
The little maid was already used to being beaten, and she didn't dare to shed tears in her eyes, for fear of being beaten more, so she nodded, "What the fifth aunt said."
"Since you all think so, I'll discipline the eldest daughter of the Shen family." After that, Hua Yin stood up from the chair with her waist. Because she has been engaged in labor since she was a child, she did not feel any discomfort due to pregnancy. Instead, she ate well and slept soundly.
The little maid hurriedly ran to her side and slowly walked out of the door, heading towards Tingzhuyuan. She couldn't help but feel worried about Shen Wanxin. Hua Yin came to find fault with her, and she had never failed. Now even the people from the second and third rooms in the Shen family took a detour when they saw Hua Yin, for fear of offending the fifth concubine.
Hua Yin came to the door of Tingzhuyuan and saw that there was no movement inside. The little maid was about to go forward and called the door, but Hua Yin stopped her. Hua Yin pushed open the door of Tingzhuyuan and walked in slowly. Just as Hua Yin walked into the door, Wan Xin had already noticed her arrival. She waved her hand to Bai Zhi, leaving her silent.
Hua Yin walked straight to Wanxin's door. The maid lifted the curtain to make it easier for Hua Yin to enter. At this time, Wanxin still did not raise her eyelids and looked at Hua Yin, lowering her head to look at the book in her hand. Hua Yin stood in the room and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but cough. Wanxin then raised her head like she woke up from a dream, "This is not the fifth aunt, I didn't say hello, and then came. Look at me, I didn't hear it. Bai Zhi, why didn't you call me?"
Bai Zhi responded clearly next to her, "Miss, I'm working too, I really didn't see the fifth aunt."
Wan Xin smiled at Hua Yin with an obvious expression, "Look, my maid didn't hear it either. Fifth Auntie, you came in without knocking on the door."
Hua Yin didn't expect Wan Xin's performance today was soft, which made her unable to beat her. She coughed lightly, and the little maid next to her immediately said, "Miss, you have some time to go home, so why don't you come to pay tribute to the fifth aunt? This fifth aunt is here to come to see you."
After hearing this, Wan Xin looked like she knew it, "Then I'll thank you for being troubled by Aunt Wu. I've read it, so I won't leave you anymore. Bai Zhi will see you off."
Bai Zhi heard that she was about to see off the guests when she got up. How could Hua Yin leave so easily? She secretly glared at the maid beside her. When the little maid received the message, she immediately said, "Miss, if you don't come here to greet me, the fifth aunt came with a sip of water and didn't drink it, she would see you off. Is this your way of hospitality?"
When Wan Xin heard the little maid's words, she put down the book in her hand, slowly stood up, came to the little maid, looked at her without saying a word, and suddenly reached out to slap the little maid. After the slap, she clapped her hands, and Bai Zhi took a white silk hand and wiped Wan Xin's hand. After wiping, Bai Zhi threw the silk hand away.
At this time, Hua Yin's face was no longer the expression when she entered the house. Wan Xin's actions obviously humiliated her. The person who hit her was dirty and wiped her hands. After wiping, she even lost her hand. Hua Yin's chest was up and down, and she glared at Wan Xin.
Wan Xin had not waited for Hua Yin to speak and said first, "Fifth Auntie, look at me who taught you a lesson. You have a lot of people, don't blame me. You are too unruly, so teach me a lesson? Do you think I'm fighting right?"
Since ancient times, no servant can be called a master. Hua Yin and the others have also been a habit of being powerful and blessed in the Shen family, and have long forgotten this rule. Moreover, Hua Yin was originally a servant, so naturally no one taught her how to be a master.
Hua Yin was so angry that she couldn't speak. Wan Xin picked up the book she had just read, turned a page and took it to Hua Yin, pointed to one of the lines of words, and said to Hua Yin, "What do you think of here?" After saying that, she suddenly slapped her head as if she suddenly remembered something, "Look at me, I don't remember you illiterate, and I even showed you the book. Don't blame me for the fifth aunt."
Hua Yin came to Zhuyuan without saying a word, and was humiliated one after another. She couldn't swallow anything she said in this tone. "Since Wanxin, you have read so many books, then tell me, did you also commit the crime of unfilial piety after you returned home? How should you punish me?"
Wan Xin looked at Hua Yin in surprise, "Fifth Auntie, what are you saying? Please? I have already invited Mrs. Jiang. You are the fifth Auntie, and you are the concubine... Don't you know the fifth Auntie?"
Hua Yin didn't expect that Wan Xin would directly tell the fact that she was just a concubine. She was angry and said without hesitation, "It seems that no one is teaching you, so I will teach you for your father." But Wan Xin, the rural woman's face immediately showed up.
Wan Xin had long expected that Hua Yin would tear it up and make a fuss with her. Since she came here, Wan Xin was not a vegetarian, so she instantly picked up the kitchen knife on the table and pointed it at Hua Yin. This kitchen knife was specially asked Bai Zhi to take it from the kitchen. Bai Zhi thought the kitchen knife was not good-looking, and asked Wan Xin if she was going to buy a sword, which would be better. Wan Xin shook her head and used a kitchen knife to get momentum when dealing with Hua Yin.
Hua Yin didn't expect Wan Xin to raise his hand and stuttered in an instant, "What are you going to do? I have children in my stomach!"
Wan Xin sneered, "So what if you have children? I am also my father's child, and my eldest brother is my father's child. You are just a concubine. I shouted to me and I will find you ten or eight concubines for my father tomorrow. Look, does my father still remember you!"
Hua Yin heard that Wan Xin actually wanted to take a concubine to Mr. Shen and her daughter took a concubine to her father. She had never heard of it. "What are you saying about a ruthless thing! Try touching a hair of my hair."
Wan Xin shook the kitchen knife in her hand, looked at Huayin's belly with regret, and then looked at her, "Do you dare, don't you know?" After that, she approached Huayin step by step with the kitchen knife in her hand.
At this time, Hua Yin was no longer as tough as she had just now, and exclaimed at the maid beside her, "You won't stop her yet!"
The little maid was about to step forward, but unexpectedly Bai Zhi was one step faster than her. She twisted her hands while the little maid was not paying attention and controlled her. Seeing that her only barrier had no freedom of movement, Hua Yin's face turned pale, "Believe it or not, I will tell you master!"
"My father was not in the mansion at this time. You said I had chopped you now, and then told my father that you accidentally fell into the water. Do you think someone in the Shen family would testify for me?" Wan Xin continued to intimidate Hua Yin. This person is the ordinary rural shrew. This trick is quite effective for treating Jiang and others. After all, they have been in the inner house since childhood and have never seen such a person who is so tantrum. But Wan Xin is different. She grew up in the countryside. She has never seen such a woman with such a face. She has never seen a woman with eighty or fifty.
This kind of person usually works hard on the outside but the most feared thing is that you fight with her. Once you fight, she will be timid immediately. Hua Yin looked at Wan Xin and looked at the kitchen knife in her hand. She immediately walked out the door in three steps in two steps, and said as she walked, "Wait, I will definitely let the master teach you a lesson." As she said that, she ran away without looking back, and even her little maid didn't care.
Wan Xin winked at Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi immediately let go of the little maid in her hand. The little maid who had regained her freedom and ran out of Tingzhuyuan.
"Miss, do you think there will be trouble?" Bai Zhi looked at Hua Yin who was leaving with some concern. She didn't expect that the lady would drive her away so smoothly.
Wan Xin did not look out the window, picked up the book he had just made again and continued reading, "No matter what we do, we will come to the door, so it's better to steal it for a few days."
Bai Zhi nodded with no idea. This inner house is really not good at all. It is not as good as their countryside. Their relatives are not as good as you and I fight you. Everyone lives happily together.
Wanxin didn't know how many days she could make Huayin restrain today. She now hopes that Jiang will find the Taoist priest as soon as possible. If she can't find anyone, the next trouble will not be solved so easily.
The next day, just after lunch, a servant came outside the door and said to Wan Xin, "Miss, someone is looking for you at the door."
Wan Xin looked at the servant with a special eye, and the servant's attitude towards her was different from the previous servants. Wan Xin asked softly, "Are you new here?"
The servant didn't expect Wan Xin to talk to him and nodded tremblingly, "I just entered the mansion yesterday."
"Who bought you into the mansion?" Wan Xin continued to ask. "But the Fourth Aunt? Oh, it shouldn't be said to be the mistress?" Now, Jiang has become the wife of Mr. Shen in name, so he is no longer the identity of the aunt, but the mistress of the family.
The servant nodded and looked at Wanxin with confusion. Wanxin smiled, "I will go and tell my mother later, how can I stay in my yard?"
The servant couldn't believe his ears, and looked flattered. It was better to follow the lady than to guard the door. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to agree.
"Do you have a name?" Wan Xin asked.
The servant looked at the beautiful lady in front of him and said softly, "My name is Chuanqiong."
Wan Xin looked at him with satisfaction, "This name is good. From now on, you will continue to call Chuanqiong. Do you say someone is looking for me, but a young man who looks like a doctor?"
Chuan Qiong nodded, Wan Xin knew that it was Qin Shudan who came...
