Lin Jingshang was an orphan in his first life, so he longed for the family affection. He was afraid that Tang Yuxiang would have nightmares again, so he kept sitting on the edge of the bed and watching over her. Although it was already late at night, he could stay with his beloved wife
He didn't feel tired even though she was next to her, so he just looked at her until the sky gradually grew brighter, then he supported his head with his hands and fell asleep in a daze.
Early in the morning, Zhidong and Zhiqiu carefully walked into the inner room, intending to help their master wash and dress. However, when they opened the door curtain, they found that the second master was sleeping on the bed with his head propped up on his elbows.
The second grandma, on the other hand, was looking at the second master intently. Maybe the door curtain was shaking too loudly. When the second grandma heard it, she turned her head and looked over. Then the two little maids saw the second master's pretty face.
Two alluring blushes floated up.
‘Second Grandma is so beautiful!’ A flash of surprise flashed through the eyes of the two little girls at the same time.
Tang Yuxiang was afraid of disturbing Lin Jingzhi's rest, so she made a silent gesture to the two little girls. Seeing this, Zhidong and Zhiqiu quickly slowed down their steps, then walked to the bedside and waited on the beauty with great care.
, Tang Yuxiang has a lazy beauty at this moment, and the two little girls are swaying and peeking at each other from time to time.
Tang Yuxiang didn't take off her clothes last night, so she quickly arranged her clothes. After getting off the bed, she turned around, directed the two little girls with her hands, and gently helped Lin Jingzhi onto the bed.
Lin Jingzhi didn't know what sweet dream he was having at this time. He was sleeping deeply with a smile on his face.
Tang Yuxiang's left forearm was injured and she couldn't exert any strength, but she still picked up the quilt with her own hands and carefully covered Lin Jingzhi's body. After last night's tenderness, although she was not emotionally moved by this man, she was not like before.
Such discrimination.
Zhidong and Zhiqiu stood behind Tang Yuxiang and looked at each other, their eyes turning into crescent moons. They were sincerely happy for their second mistress.
The former second mistress was so cold to the second master, which made them heartbroken.
Walking to the outer room, Tang Yuxiang washed her face and rinsed her mouth with the help of two little girls. After finishing, she heard the door curtain ring and Zhichun, who had a more honest temper, walked in. Zhichun did not expect that the second mistress was sitting in the outer room.
Feeling panicked, he quickly stepped forward and kowtowed: "I bumped into the Second Grandma, please punish me."
It's just that there was no notice when entering the door. Tang Yuxiang didn't care. She was a little disappointed when she saw Zhichun was so timid. She preferred the bold and innocent little maid, "It doesn't matter. Get up. Is there something wrong?"
"Back to Second Grandma, Aunt Shuang and Aunt Rou are here to pay their respects." Zhichun breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that his master had no intention of punishing her.
After Tang Yuxiang married into the Lin family, she realized that there were many rules in this wealthy compound. Every morning, she had to get up early to greet the old lady and serve the old man for dinner, and the second master's concubine had to come to the room for her earlier.
Please greet her and help her dress and wash herself. However, Lin Jingzhi had been ill in the past, so these rules were not implemented.
In addition, the hierarchy in the mansion of this wealthy aristocratic family is extremely strict. Even the personal maids have quotas. Take her as an example. She is the head of the family's wife. In the backyard, her status is second only to Mrs. Lin. She has many people around her.
Bring two first-class girls, six second-class girls, and some rough ladies.
The concubines, on the other hand, are much humbler. They are considered masters rather than servants serving the main wife. They can only have two second-class girls, two inferior girls, and two rough wives, and they can only take with them two second-class girls.
According to the rules, she could instruct the second master's concubine to cleanse and wash herself.
Such a level-by-level separation can really show everyone's status in the mansion.
It was only from the moment she stepped into the Lin family's door that she realized how low her mother's status in the Tang family was at that time.
Hearing Zhichun say that two aunts came to pay their respects to her, Tang Yuxiang was slightly startled, and then with a flash of inspiration, she remembered what Mrs. Lin told her last night. It seemed that the reason why these two people came here so early in the morning was definitely
It was Mrs. Lin who asked her servants to pass the message.
But why are there only two?
Lin Jingzhi had four concubines. Although she had never met those two since she entered the house, she knew their names. One was Aunt Wan and the other was Aunt Yu.
"Go and tell the two aunts to wait in the main hall. I will be there soon." Tang Yuxiang waved her hand gently, and her face returned to its usual cold expression.
Zhichun responded and retreated.
"Second Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Zhidong asked suspiciously when he saw his mistress peering through the bronze mirror and staring blankly at the door curtain of the inner room for a long time.
"Nothing, just help me go to the main room!" Tang Yuxiang stood up slowly, with a hint of exhaustion in her voice. How could she forget that Lin Jingzhi also had four aunts?
Last night, for the first time, I had the idea of staying in the Lin Mansion, but now it faded away.
Lin Jingzhi slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up. Zhichun stayed in the room and quickly came forward to dress him up.
"Where's the second grandma?" After more than ten days of enjoyment, Lin Jingzhi is now used to letting the maid help him get dressed and put on shoes.
While Zhichun was arranging Lin Jingzhi's clothes, he replied: "Second Grandma went to pay respects to the old lady this morning, but she hasn't come back yet."
"Oh." Lin Jingzhi responded, feeling a little dissatisfied, secretly blaming Tang Yuxiang for not caring about her body. After all, she was seriously injured yesterday and had a fever and nightmares at night.
After washing, Lin Jingzhi left the inner courtyard and came to the study. Shi Mo had been waiting here early in the morning. When he saw him entering the room, he quickly stepped forward and kowtowed, "I would like to pay my respects to the second master."
"Get up, did the task assigned to you yesterday go well?" Lin Jingzhi waved his hand and came to the chair to sit down.
"Going back to the Second Master, everything went well. The two families are simple farmers with no big ideas. After taking the banknotes, they summoned their family members and followed the servant out of the city gate. Before leaving, the servant made some additional explanations.
, they promise not to return to Luo City in the future." Shi Mo got up from the ground and replied respectfully.
Lin Jingzhi understood that the other explanation from Shi Mo's mouth was definitely not a good thing, but he didn't care. It would be better to threaten him, so as to avoid making mistakes again. "Well, as long as it goes well, you can go find some tight-lipped people now.
I'll be of great use to you if you send me a woman."
"Yes!" Although he didn't know why, Shi Mo still responded, then turned around and walked out of the house.
After sleeping on the recliner, Lin Jingzhi's condition really improved, which confirmed his previous guess that there must be something wrong with that bed.
Originally, he thought that since he was in good health, the person who secretly wanted to kill Lin Jingzhi must be extremely vigilant now. This matter should be postponed and investigated again, otherwise, if he is not careful, he may alert the snake and find nothing.
But the plan could not keep up with the change. Tang Yuxiang suddenly slept on it last night, and would probably sleep in the inner room in the future, so he had to take action in advance.
He didn't know what the harmful thing was at this time, so he didn't dare to let Tang Yuxiang put himself in danger, otherwise if his wife's body was hurt, it would be too late to regret it.
Shi Mo's work was very efficient. After only a moment, he led two rough ladies, about forty years old, in. These two ladies were relatively strong and wore coarse clothes. They were from the Lin family.
The son of a domestic slave is loyal, reliable, and has a tolerant temperament, so he meets the requirements.
After listening to Shi Mo's introduction to the life experience of the two mothers-in-law, Lin Jingzhi nodded and was quite satisfied. This matter is both big and small. It is also a family scandal and must not be spread out.
"Don't ask anything later, just follow my instructions and do the work. When things are done, it will be your benefit."
"Yes!" The two women knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Lin Jingzhi left the study and led the three of them straight to the bedroom. All the servants he met along the way were forced out by him on a temporary basis.
Knowing that the time could not be delayed too long, otherwise Tang Yuxiang would come back, he directly asked two rough women to do it. The four of them worked together to lift the thick bed board. As the bed board moved, the harmful thing was finally revealed.
came out.
