Chapter 244 Lin Mansion 39
Chapter 244 Lin Mansion 39
Ding You had never encountered such a thing before, and for a moment he didn't know what to do when faced with this situation.
"So it was Master Lin who caused me to faint last night?"
Yun Chu nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes."
Not only had she seen it with her own eyes, she had also experienced it personally. If Ding You hadn't been asked to take her place, she might still be as clueless as she was the first time.
"So what should we do now? We can't just expose Master Lin. I'm afraid he will turn evil."
Yun Chu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Let's take it one step at a time. Didn't the eldest lady ask me to deliver the pigeon soup? This is a good opportunity."
There are not many opportunities to get close to Mr. Lin openly, and the pigeon soup happens to be a point that others will not suspect.
However, her main target today was not Master Lin, but Master Lin's study.
She has almost understood all the secrets of Mr. Lin, and the study, as an important place, must be hiding unknown secrets.
But before that, she had to find a way to get Master Lin out of the way, and for that she would need Yin Hui's help.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu's gaze fell on Xiao Hei on the table.
After finding a random excuse to get Ding You away, Yun Chu pulled out a chair and lay on the table, looking at Xiao Hei.
"Xiao Hei, can you ask your master to meet me at 11 o'clock in the morning?"
The little black round eyes just looked at Yun Chu without any reaction.
Just when Yun Chu thought this method wouldn't work, Xiao Hei suddenly nodded heavily.
Yun Chu finally felt relieved. It would be better if Yin Hui could help in this operation, otherwise she would be easily exposed.
In order to complete the task successfully, Yun Chu even went to the big kitchen to cook a pot of pigeon soup, and the aroma filled the whole room.
"Yunchu, why do you give up your job as a first-class maid and come back to make soup?" Mother Zhai joked with a smile.
Yun Chu filled the soup. Mother Zhai was a nice person, so she would not smile.
"Madam said that the master has been tired these days, so she asked me to make some pigeon soup and send it to him."
"Sister Yunchu is really valued by the eldest lady now. Apart from Sister Jingyue and the others, I'm afraid no one can be more powerful than Sister Yunchu."
Several little maids surrounded Yun Chu and chattered non-stop.
Yun Chu suddenly remembered what Mother Zhai said when she left last time.
She quickly pulled Zhai's mother to a corner.
"What are you doing so mysteriously?"
However, when she heard Yun Chu's next words, her expression froze.
"Mom, the lady's room you mentioned before..."
Before Yun Chu could finish her words, Zhai's mother pushed her aside.
"I told you not to ask again!"
Mother Zhai's face suddenly turned gloomy. She walked away alone and ignored Yun Chu.
Yun Chu didn't expect Zhai's mother to react so strongly, so she quickly followed.
"Mom, don't be angry. I'm just working in the Madam's room right now, and I'm afraid I'll do something wrong, so I want to get to know the Madam better."
Hearing this, Mother Zhai's expression eased a little. She sighed and said, "I won't say anything else. I just want to remind you that after delivering the soup to the master, don't stay too long and go back early."
After saying that, he turned and left the kitchen.
Yun Chu stood there thinking about what Mother Zhai said, so does Mother Zhai also know what kind of person Mr. Lin is?
Although it is unclear how much Mother Zhai knows, it is obvious that she knows as much as Yun Chu, otherwise she would not have reminded Yun Chu to stay away from Master Lin.
The pigeon was still simmering in the pot, and Yun Chu took this opportunity to go to the garden.
In the corner, Yin Hui was already waiting there.
"What's up?"
Yun Chu nodded: "I need your help to get Mr. Lin out of the way this afternoon. I will then go into his study under the pretext of delivering soup.
The study is the place where he spends the most time, so it is impossible for it to be so clean that there are no clues at all."
Yin thought about it and said, "He goes out to see that man almost every day. Since you need me, I will try to keep him away for a little longer in the afternoon."
Yun Chu had become accustomed to Mr. Lin's personality, and no matter how busy he was, he would insist on seeing that man every day.
“There is one more thing. I have asked the eldest lady, and she seems to know nothing about what happened to her.
As for Aunt Bai, she was forced by Master Lin to become a concubine, so she has no love in her heart and is not clear about what happened to the first lady. "
It seems that Mr. Lin hid himself quite well. I wonder what method he used to deceive people for so long.
"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth. I guess we can end this instance soon."
Yinhui used to be lazy, so he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden seriousness of clearing the dungeon.
Time was urgent and soup was still stewing in the big kitchen. After discussing with Yin Hui, Yun Chu returned to the big kitchen.
As soon as he got back, he found that the pigeon soup was almost done. Yun Chu looked at the time. According to Yin Hui's execution ability, he should have left the house with Master Lin by now.
Yun Chu filled the soup and walked slowly towards the study.
Fortunately, it wasn't very hot today, so it was bearable after walking for a while.
Yun Chu bumped into a little boy just as he turned a corner.
"Ouch!"
The little boy cried out in pain and fell on his back.
Yun Chu hurried to help him up: "Master, are you okay?"
The eight or nine-year-old boy in front of her was the eldest lady's legitimate son. Although this was the first time she had seen him, she could guess his identity just by his clothes and height.
There are only two young masters in the mansion, and the only one who can walk and grow up to this age is the eldest son.
Yun Chu sighed that it was fortunate that she reacted quickly and the young master did not rush forward, otherwise the whole pot of soup would have been poured on him.
If the eldest lady knew about this, even if Yun Chu had gained some face in front of her, he would definitely be punished.
Comparing a maid with his own son, it is obvious which one is more important.
The young master was lying on the ground in a daze. He had hardly fallen since he learned to walk, so he was really scared by what he just did.
When Yun Chu saw that the young master was silent, she immediately remembered the puppet Aunt Bai had given her, and quickly took it out and presented it to him.
"Master, is this your favorite toy?"
The young master's eyes lit up, he reached out to take back the puppet, hugged it tightly in his arms, and then looked at Yun Chu again, seeming a little puzzled.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
Yun Chu immediately bowed to him and said, "I am the newly appointed first-class maidservant of the Madam. I was ordered by the Madam to deliver pigeon soup to the Master. I was in a hurry and bumped into the Master. Please forgive me, Master."
The eldest young master nodded: "So it's someone close to my mother. In this case, I don't blame you. Just be more careful next time."
Yun Chu thanked the young master again according to the procedure and then prepared to continue walking towards the study.
At the same time, she felt that Aunt Bai had given the puppet just in time, otherwise she would have been scolded today.
However, just as Yun Chu was about to leave, a middle-aged woman walked out from a distance and slapped Yun Chu in the face.
