Chapter 181 -182: The Hypocritical Facade_1

At that time, Mrs. Lin was both ashamed and annoyed, and could only return to Tupo Village. From then on, she lost contact with the Lin Family. Firstly, she didn’t want to become the shameless woman that other woman talked about, and secondly, her health was deteriorating day by day. When even eating well and staying warm were issues, how could she think of anything else?

Lin Kexin’s face showed fear as she grabbed Mrs. Lin’s hand, “Sister, I’m afraid they will come to capture me within a few days. You must help me persuade brother. I truly don’t want to marry that old man. I’ve met him once and he disgusts me to death!”

Mrs. Lin quickly took Lin Kexin’s hand, “Don’t worry, sister will definitely not let him do as he pleases!”

At heart, Lin Kexin actually felt very insecure, but indeed she had no other choice. Other than going to Mrs. Lin, she simply had no other solutions. Thinking of her own fate, tears inevitably fell, “Sister, even if I am dragged back this time, being able to see you again, I’ll have no regrets. If that woman forces me again, at worst, I’ll shave my head and become a nun.”

“What nonsense are you talking about! Sister absolutely won’t let you suffer such grievances!” This was the first time Mrs. Lin spoke with such firmness, she must really be furious. She had always been protective of her family; she could tolerate personal grievances, but how could she allow her beloved younger sister to face such unfortunate circumstances?

Lin Kexin truly underestimated her sister-in-law Mrs. Chui’s shrewdness. The moment Lin Kexin sneaked away, Mrs. Chui turned Jinyang County upside down searching every acquaintances’ house. When she found no one, she immediately thought of Mrs. Lin.

And sure enough, the next morning, they indeed came knocking at the door.

In the floral hall, a woman with a calculating look sat surveying the room’s furnishings. Beside her sat a man, naturally the only male of the Lin Family, Lin Yang.

As soon as Muniang and Qinghe entered, they saw this woman’s eyes rolling around the room, filled with greed. Muniang, fearing that Mrs. Lin might be upset by this woman, didn’t let her come out and decided to entertain the visitors herself.

“Oh, you must be the eldest sister’s daughter? You look just like your mother when she was young. I recognized you at a glance. I’m your aunt by marriage, you don’t remember, do you?” The moment Mrs. Chui saw Muniang, she immediately warmed up to her, pretending they were close. If one didn’t know what kind of person she was, they might even think she really liked her niece Muniang.

As soon as Mrs. Chui entered the residence, she regretted not having gotten closer to Lin Kelan! Now, she couldn’t believe how wealthy they had become without her knowledge! Who would have thought it, three years ago when she sought shelter with them, how destitute she appeared, yet three years later, she was living in a grand residence. How fast things had changed!

Without a change in expression, Muniang withdrew her hand and smiled, “So, it’s my aunt by marriage. Look at my memory, really, I don’t remember. After so many years, you haven’t exactly been visiting us.”

With a loud sigh, Mrs. Chui said, “Isn’t it because we’ve been busy at home? And now we’ve come to visit, right? Without coming here, we wouldn’t have known how well you live now. Just look at this mansion, it’s so big, and you have servants, too. Really, you’ve made such a fortune and didn’t even tell us—aren’t you treating us like outsiders!”

With a cold laugh, Muniang thought this woman really considered herself important.

Mrs. Chui didn’t notice Muniang’s cold demeanor; she was fixated on the luxurious decor, “In my life, I’ve never been served by a servant. Why don’t you send a few maids to me? Your brother recently lost some money in business and is having some cash flow issues. Seeing as you’re living so well now, surely you’re not short on cash. You should really help out your uncle more!”

Her hand was truly swift, not two sentences of small talk before she started asking for money.

Muniang looked on indifferently, completely unresponsive to her words. Mrs. Chui hesitated, wondering why the child showed no reaction to her extensive speech. Such poor manners, she thought, and signaled Lin Yang with her eyes. Lin Yang quickly said, “Muniang, I’m your uncle. I used to hold you when you were little. Where’s your mother? I have something to discuss with her.”

“Exactly, exactly! Let your mother come out, she really adores this younger brother.” Mrs. Chui, thinking of how Mrs. Lin doted on this brother and sister, was certain that upon seeing her own brother, she would definitely give them a lot of silver. Thinking of this, Mrs. Chui’s eyes sparkled with greed.

“My mother? She’s busy working and can’t leave.” Muniang replied.

Mrs. Chui was startled, “Working? With so many servants in your house, what does she need to work on?”

Muniang blinked innocently, “Those aren’t our servants, they belong to the lady of our house.”

Mrs. Chui was taken aback, clearly not having caught on yet.

Qinghe stepped forward at the right moment, “Both mother and daughter are indentured servants in our house. Are you their relatives? Could it be that you have brought silver to redeem them?”

Mrs. Chui’s mind reeled, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe, her facial expression changing rapidly in a multitude of colors.

Watching her reaction, Muniang snickered inwardly, yet outwardly she said, “I knew that my aunt and uncle would surely come to redeem us. Finally, the day has arrived!”

Mrs. Chui waved her hands frantically, “Redeem you? Where would we get the money? Your uncle doesn’t have a single penny!”

As she spoke, she pinched Lin Yang hard, and Lin Yang hurriedly added, “Yes, yes, we really have no money. Where would we get the silver to redeem you?”

Muniang silently scoffed. As expected, one couldn’t hope for such scum to do anything decent! Just yesterday, she had guessed that with Mrs. Chui’s character, if she showed up and saw that Muniang’s family was well off, she would definitely scheme against them. Muniang didn’t want to deal with them, so she had devised this plan, pretending that the house wasn’t hers. This way, she avoided many unnecessary troubles, like these two trying to take advantage.

Muniang put on a disappointed look, “If you’re not here to redeem us, then what are you here for?”

Mrs. Chui’s attitude changed faster than flipping through a book, and she looked at Muniang with a bit of disdain, “Who’s here to find you? Hand over Lin Kexin! Don’t think I don’t know she’s here!”

Qinghe’s face also darkened, “Who are you asking to see? Don’t think you can start a dye workshop just by giving us those looks. Can’t you see where you are? Do you think this is an inn, where you can see whoever you want to see?”

Mrs. Chui shuddered with fear at the tone, not daring to offend the big household. She quickly put on a smiley face and said, “What are you talking about? We lost our younger sister and are in a state of panic; we had no choice but to come here. Lady, you don’t know, her brother is so worried he’s beside himself. She’s a girl, and we fear something might’ve happened to her.”

Muniang looked at her feigned distress with disgust. Worried to death, she believed not; it was because she had already taken the old man’s silver, and was afraid that if the girl was lost and couldn’t be found to be married off!
