Noticing her daughter’s inaction, she asked with puzzlement.
Liu Yushui turned her head, looking towards Liu Rumei with a confused gaze, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
"Mother, why are you asking me to look for Lin Caisang?"
You need to know that her father, Liu Baixiao, had just left the house, heading straight for the Lin Family. If she were to go confront Lin Caisang at this moment, wouldn’t she walk right into her father?
On a spur of the moment, if she blurted out the fact that her mother had bought a maid for her, and if Liu Baixiao found out about this, could one not guess what her fate would be?
Her mother, who usually seemed so smart, wouldn’t she understand this simple principle?
Liu Rumei was left speechless by her daughter’s retort, not knowing what to say.
Could she tell her that the vegetables in the field were about to wither from the drought and that there was hardly anything to eat at home? Hence, she thought that if Lin Caisang knew that the maid Feng Lvzhi was her daughter’s, then wouldn’t Lin Caisang feel guilty? At that time, couldn’t she get as much water as she wanted?
But if she explained this way, her daughter would undoubtedly hold a grudge against her, so naturally, she wouldn’t speak.
"Yushui, what are you talking about? When did mother ask you to look for Lin Caisang? I was just too angry earlier and didn’t have time to stop you. With Lin Caisang’s current temperament, if you confront her, wouldn’t you be at a disadvantage?"
She hurriedly replied.
Although Liu Yushui was suspicious, she didn’t say anything more.
"Mother, we can’t directly go to Lin Caisang about Feng Lvzhi’s issue."
Liu Rumei questioned, not understanding.
Even if Feng Lvzhi was not serving Zhou Liang, she could at least be of service at home and save her a lot of work. But now, she ended up benefiting Lin Caisang instead.
How could she just let it go? She definitely needed to get that girl back.
"Are we just going to let it slide like that?"
"Of course not, but mother, you must remember that father is not aware that you bought a maid. If we make a fuss about this, father will find out about your reckless expenditure, and you should know what he would do, right?"
Liu Yushui reminded Liu Rumei.
Not to mention Liu Rumei, even she would get beaten up severely by Liu Baixiao. She certainly didn’t want to invite a beating from her father over the issue of Feng Lvzhi.
Furthermore, she was not in good health. If she got hurt again, it was uncertain whether she could keep the baby in her womb. Therefore, under no circumstances should Liu Baixiao know about this.
"Yes, yes, we must not let your father find out."
Mentioning Liu Baixiao, Liu Rumei shivered, saying.
"So what should we do? How about you discuss it with Zhou Liang? Say that Feng Lvzhi was bought by him to serve you, and ask him to claim her back from the Lin family?" She suggested.
If Zhou Liang stepped in, the Lin Family might give Elder Mr.Zhou some face and avoid an open fallout.
"That’s not possible."
Hearing Liu Rumei’s words, Liu Yushui immediately furrowed her brows, shaking her head.
If Zhou Liang was asked to step in, it wasn’t a question of whether he would swallow his pride and help her out, but rather, considering how good-looking Lin Caisang had become after losing weight, what if Zhou Liang saw her and...
What if he regretted his decision and wished to win Lin Caisang back again?
Although Lin Caisang now had Ya Molian, Zhou Liang was a scholar. Before, Lin Caisang was quite interested in him. It was not entirely impossible that with their continuous interactions, they would rekindle their past affection.
