Chapter 247 Lin Mansion 42
Chapter 247 Lin Mansion 42
In the garden, Yun Chu ran a few steps but felt that she couldn't go any further. In order to prevent the soup from spilling, she could only run carefully.
But you can't run fast like this, and sooner or later you will be caught up by Master Lin.
"Why don't you run? Run quickly, or you'll be caught!"
When Yan Huanlei saw Yun Chu stop, she was anxious to pull her.
Yun Chu shook his head and threw the pot of soup on the ground.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Yan Huanlei looked at the messy pigeon soup on the ground in disbelief, and then she seemed to think of something.
"You, you don't want to stay here?"
Yun Chu nodded and lay down on the ground: "You can run away by yourself. The pigeon soup is very obvious evidence. I can only pretend to be knocked unconscious to deceive Master Lin."
Yan Huanlei was extremely anxious, but she also understood that Yun Chu was right to do so, so she had no choice but to leave Yun Chu alone and run away.
Yun Chu was soon the only one left in the garden. She lay on the ground, the glaring sun in front of her and the scorching pebbles behind her.
Not long after, footsteps were heard behind him. Yun Chu woke up just in time and was shocked to see the pigeon soup on the ground.
"How could this happen? What on earth is going on?"
She frantically tried to pick up the porcelain pieces on the ground, but didn't know how to start.
"Why are you here?" Master Lin's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Yun Chu knew it was time for her acting skills to explode.
She turned around and looked at Master Lin in fear and said, "Slave, I was ordered to bring you pigeon soup. Madam said you have been tired recently and need to replenish your body.
But, I suddenly fainted halfway through the journey, and when I woke up I found that the soup had spilled all over the floor. "
Mr. Lin stared at Yun Chu without saying anything, as if he was verifying whether what she said was true or false.
Yun Chu just lowered her head and acted like a maid who was scared because she had made a mistake.
After a while, the master spoke up: "Have you seen anyone suspicious?"
"Someone acting suspiciously?"
Yun Chu pretended to think, shook her head and said, "I haven't seen anyone suspicious."
Then she looked at the pigeon soup on the ground and said, "Let me make another bowl of soup for you, Master. This pigeon soup is a very tonic food."
"No, why drink soup when it's so hot? Go back to serve the lady. Someone will come to clean up here."
After walking a few steps, he said again: "Don't tell Madam about the assassin. Just say you accidentally knocked it over."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yun Chu stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been unable to escape with the pot of soup.
But no one knew where Yan Huanlei had fled to. Although Master Lin would not go to great lengths to find her after she escaped this time,
But maybe he will look for her secretly in the name of catching an assassin.
However, these have nothing to do with her. Saving Yan Huanlei was not her original intention.
But Yan Huanlei had seen her face and knew who she was. If she hadn't saved her at that time, she would have definitely asked Master Lin to let her go in the name of Yun Chu.
So at that time she could only turn Yan Huanlei into a member of the same camp.
Even though the soup has been spilled, I still have to go to my wife's place and at least explain the reason.
When Yun Chu arrived at Wutong Courtyard, he happened to see Aunt Bai coming out of it, and she looked like she had been crying.
Aunt Bai saw Yun Chu nodded slightly, and didn't seem to want to talk, so she turned around and left with the maid behind her.
Yun Chu thought about it and realized that Aunt Bai had mentioned that she wanted to send some incense to Madam.
I don't know what they talked about but they were crying.
Yun Chu walked into the main hall and noticed at a glance that the lady was in a bad mood.
She stood aside obediently without saying anything. It would be better not to be the first to speak out at this time.
"Has the soup been delivered?" the lady suddenly asked.
"I was a stupid servant. I accidentally broke the pot when I walked to the garden. The master said it was too hot and he didn't want to drink soup, so he told me to come back and serve him directly."
After Yun Chu finished speaking, the main hall fell into silence and the eldest lady said nothing.
At this moment, the eldest young master came in from outside and bowed respectfully to the eldest lady.
"The son has met his mother."
The eldest lady saw that her son had a complicated expression, but she still calmed down and smiled and asked him to get up.
"Why don't you stay a little longer? I just asked the kitchen staff to make more of your favorite dishes."
The eldest son smiled and said, "My son has read a lot of books with the teacher, and he knows that we should not rush for success in schoolwork, but accumulate knowledge day by day."
The lady couldn't stand her son's mature appearance, so she shook her hands and pretended to be disgusted: "Alright, alright, you are just like your grandfather, both of you are old pedants."
At this moment, the eldest young master's eyes fell on Yun Chu: "Isn't this person...?"
Seeing that her son knew Yun Chu, the eldest lady's eyes changed. She hated the maids around her seducing her son the most. This was something she absolutely could not tolerate.
"Do you know Yun Chu?"
"It's Sister Yun. My son has met her in the garden before. Mother, do you still remember my favorite puppet?"
The eldest young master looked at the eldest lady with a smile.
The eldest lady was a little confused: "Remember, wasn't it snatched away by the second young master? You were lost for a while."
"That's right, but today this doll is back with me. It was given to me by Sister Yun."
The eldest young master was really happy. As the eldest son, he had received too many expectations since he was a child. This puppet was his most beloved item, but he had to give it up because his younger brother liked it.
Even my father said that men should not be so timid about such trivial matters.
So when faced with his brother's overbearing behavior, he could only pretend not to care.
"Oh? It was Yun Chu who brought it back for you?"
The lady's eyes changed immediately when she looked at Yun Chu. She understood her son's sadness, but what the master said was true.
But at this time she knew that her son was really happy, so she didn't care about anything else.
Yun Chu took the opportunity to say modestly: "This is all thanks to Aunt Bai. Aunt Bai helped the young master get it back. I just brought it back by chance."
"Even so, I will give you a reward." After saying this, the eldest lady gestured to Jingyue.
After a while, Jingyue came to Yunchu with a jewelry box and asked her to choose.
"I am not worthy of this. It is just something I can do."
Yun Chu didn't expect that even such a small thing could get him a reward.
Jingyue couldn't help but smile at Yunchu's expression: "Just take it if I tell you to. I can't take it back now that I've brought it out."
There was no other way, Yun Chu could only pick out a bunch of ruby earrings from the jewelry box.
I have to say that this ruby is really beautiful. Although Yun Chu is not short of money, no woman can resist the charm of jewelry.
She kept admiring the earrings in her hands until she returned home.
If she was not a player but an ordinary maid, these rewards would be enough for her to live a good life.
When Yun Chu returned to her room, she saw Ding You standing at her door with a look of resentment on his face.
"Why don't you go back to your room? Stand at my door and act like a door god."
Ding You looked around the room and still didn't say anything.
Yun Chu felt strange and pushed open the door, only to see Yin Hui sitting in her chair and playing with Xiao Hei.
Compared to how quiet he was when he was with her, Xiao Hei was obviously very excited when he saw Yin Hui. He was never quiet for a single second while climbing up and down.
