Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Eunuch and the Ugly Freak (1)_1 Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Eunuch and the Ugly Freak (1)_1 Lan Hua put away her smile, tilted her chin up, and scoffed disdainfully, “Oh, look who’s seducing men but doesn’t want to be seen?
What kind of people we have under the broad daylight indeed—well, she’s to be the Master Magistrate’s Little Concubine after all, so naturally she has more prowess than us country bumpkins.
I just don’t know if the Master Magistrate would sell her to the brothel if he found out his Little Concubine was hooking up with another man behind his back.
Li Feng’e says she knows quite a few nice places, why don’t I go and ask around?”
Upon hearing that Lan Hua was about to seek out Li Feng’e, the arrogance of Lin Siyu deflated significantly.
Even though she wasn’t pleased about being the Master Magistrate’s Little Concubine, the matter had stirred up quite a commotion in the village, and she had become even more infamous than the Little Disaster Star.
If she were to be suddenly jilted, she feared she might never lift her head high again for the rest of her life.
Being a Little Concubine, pampered and indulged, surely beat toiling in the fields every day as a village maiden!
Moreover, having failed in her attempt to seduce Xia Zheng, she couldn’t afford to lose this chance at turning her life around.
“Lin Lanhua, you better stop slandering me!
Which of your eyes saw me seducing men?
His carriage almost ran into me; we merely exchanged a few words, nothing like what you’re claiming!” Lin Siyu hurriedly tried to clear the air, and without missing a beat, she cast a slur upon Lin Yuan, “Do you think everyone is like that Little Disaster Star, beckoning your brother to her house every day, who knows what sordid things they are up to behind closed doors!”
“Lin Siyu, you better watch your mouth!” Upon hearing her words, Lan Hua instantly flared up.
Her brother was going to Lin Yuan’s house to learn carpentry from Lin Jiaxin, but she had twisted it into something indecent.
How could she, as a sister, not be angry?
Aunt Wang, hearing Lin Siyu staining the reputation of not just her son but also the entire Lin family, quickly restrained her daughter who was on the verge of rushing forward with fists raised.
If a real fight broke out, wouldn’t that just play into her hands?
“Let me tell you, Lin family girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever comes to your mind.
My Changqing has taken Lin Yuan’s father as his master to learn the craft of carpentry; if he doesn’t go to their home, should he go to yours?
Right, it’s pointless going to your house where no one knows how to work and earn a living!
Imagine if he learned bad habits from you and later refused to spend money on us, his old parents’ medical bills, that would be the real disgrace!”
Hearing Aunt Wang bring up the issue of her father refusing to treat Lin Jianling, Lin Siyu’s face turned red and white in turns.
She snorted twice and snapped back, “I don’t bother with your pathetic matters,” before quickly making her way home.
Lan Hua remained frustrated, muttering curses about Lin Siyu as she and her mother headed towards Lin Yuan’s house.
Right after finishing pressing the tofu, Lin Yuan saw them enter with grim expressions.
Upon inquiry, Lan Hua spilled everything about the recent events like pouring beans out of a basket—from Lin Siyu deliberately dashing out in front of the carriage, startling it, to the end where Xia Zheng left her eating dust.
Of course, Lan Hua omitted the part where Lin Siyu had slandered Lin Yuan and her brother.
These sordid details were unpleasant to talk about, better left unmentioned.
While stirring the red bean paste, Lin Yuan listened quietly.
Seeing her so composed, Lan Hua asked in amazement, “Aren’t you angry?”
Lin Yuan cleaned her chopsticks and set them aside, smiling, “Angry?
Why should I be angry?”
“That Lin Siyu, she attempted to seduce your employer, what if Young Master listens to her instigation and stops giving you work?
How come you’re not angry?”
“You said it yourself, Xia Zheng is just my employer, not my man.
Why should I be angry?” Lin Yuan replied nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders, and took a large piece of dough from the basin onto the cutting board to knead it slowly, “Besides, even if she really did seduce ‘my man’, that would be all the more reason not to be angry.”
