Lin Yueru felt strange, and lifted the curtain to take a look.

No wonder Lu Zi'an's reaction was so strange.

Kneeling at the bottom was Lu Zi'an's previous maid named Cuiling.

She was still wondering why Cui Ling had been following Lu Zi'an every day before, why did she suddenly disappear?

Later, I learned that it was sent out by Lu Zi'an personally.

Presumably, this person had a very bad life after leaving the Lu Mansion, and now he is wearing coarse cloth clothes that the lowest subordinates of the Lu Mansion will not wear.

As soon as Cui Ling saw Lu Zi'an, she began to cry and beg.

"Miss! Miss, save the slaves! ”

"The slave was only ten years old when she came to you, and the slave grew up with the young lady! Miss, for the sake of the slave and maid who have been serving you since childhood, save the slave and the maid! ”

Lu Zi'an's hand holding the curtain trembled slightly, "Shut up!" From the day I sent you out, there has been no master-servant relationship between you and me! ”

"Where did you come from to plead with me now!"

Cui Ling cried even more, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Lu Zi'an.

"Miss, slave beg! As soon as the slave came home, she was promised by her father and mother to be a good gambler! He's lost money out there and owes a lot of debt! If you can't pay it back, the slave and maid will be pulled by him to pay the bill! Woooooo ”

"The slave's father is still seriously ill in bed, but he can't even get the money to buy medicine, so he can only wait for death! Woo woo, miss, the slave has been serving you for so many years! You can't die without help, miss! ”

Whimpering sounded incessantly.

The maid kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, knocking blood on her forehead without stopping.

Lu Zi'an's hand holding the curtain became tighter and tighter.

There were more and more people watching outside, and many of them pointed to the carriage of Lufu and muttered quietly.

It's nothing more than saying that people from big families are ruthless and unrighteous.

Forced by Cuiling to keep kowtowing and crying for the fingers of the people around her, Lu Zi'an's psychological pressure became more and more intense.

When she was about to let go, Lin Yueru grabbed her sleeve and stopped her words.

Lin Yueru came out of the carriage and looked coldly at the person kneeling in front of her.

"Cui Ling, do you know who I am?"

Cui Ling raised her head with teary eyes, and couldn't help but shrink the moment she saw Lin Yueru.

She buried her head deep in her chest: "You, you are Miss Lufu......"

Lin Yueru said lightly: "Since you think I am the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion, then it is reasonable for me to deal with your affairs on behalf of Zi'an today, what do you say?" ”

"But the slave maid and the slave maid are the ...... who follow the second lady"

Cui Ling had always known that Lin Yueru was not a foolish master, so she was naturally terrified the moment she saw Lin Yueru, let alone let her deal with this matter.

But Lin Yueru didn't give her a chance to refuse at all.

She interrupted: "I know that you are the person who has been serving Zi'an for many years. So I couldn't figure it out when I suddenly didn't see you a few days ago, so I went to ask. ”

"When I asked, I found out that what you signed to my Lu Mansion back then was a death deed. In other words, as early as that year, my Lu Mansion had already bought you at one time. After that, you are born as a person of Lufu, and you are a ghost of Lufu when you die. ”

She looked indifferently at the kneeling people below, "Yes and no?" ”

Cui Ling's face turned pale in an instant.

She hadn't figured out why Lin Yueru suddenly mentioned this, but she subconsciously felt that this must not be a good thing.

The crowd really swayed because of Lin Yueru's words, and no longer accused Lu Fu of being ruthless and unjust.

Lin Yueru saw that she didn't refute, so she continued:

"It is said that if you sign the death contract like this, our Lu Mansion already has the right to decide your life and death. If you make a mistake, we can either sell you or beat you to death. ”

Lin Yueru's voice was light, but it made people shudder.

Cui Ling knew that she was telling the truth, and cold sweat ran down her back, and her hair stood up.

The chatter in the crowd grew louder.

Lin Yueru raised her voice and continued: "But my Lu Mansion is benevolent and righteous. ”

"Even if you make a mistake in front of the second lady, you have been connived at again and again. Until you completely chill the second miss's heart, so that the second miss can no longer tolerate you. ”

"But even so, the second lady not only did not sell you, but even humiliated you. Instead, he remembered the former master-servant relationship, returned your deed and put you home. ”

"Cui Ling, if I'm not mistaken. When the second lady let you go, she should have returned a sum of money to you, right? ”

Lu Zi'an naturally didn't say anything about this, it was Lin Yueru who guessed with her understanding.

Cui Ling's face was as white as paper.

Since Lin Yueru came out to say the first sentence, she has completely lost the room to argue.

She told the truth word by word, poking at the tip of her and the hearts of the visitors next to her.

Cui Ling lost her strength, she couldn't even kneel straight, and she slumped on her feet with a soft body.

Seeing this, everyone naturally saw that she was acquiescing to the truth of what Lin Yueru said.

For a while, everyone's crusade and contempt for her became louder and louder.

"The Lu Mansion is very benevolent to you! How do you still have the face to ask for some money today! ”

"That's it! An ungrateful person like you should have been sold by the Lu Mansion as soon as possible! ”

"What a wolf's heart!"

The Lu Mansion let her go again and again, but she had to make inches.

Not only did he not know how to be grateful, but he used his previous master-servant friendship to blackmail the second lady!

There are people who are filled with righteous indignation, take the vegetable leaves and eggs from the basket and hit them on Cuiling.

Cui Ling couldn't raise her head because of the accusations and scoldings around her.

Lin Yueru said to the coachman: "Then hurry." If there is a person who is not long-sighted, he wants to stop it, just hit it. This amount of money, my Lu Mansion can afford to lose! ”

Uncle Luo, the coachman, saw that Lin Yueru's words were reasonable, and he was throwing himself to the ground with the five bodies she admired, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

In response, he whipped his whip and drove forward.

Seeing that Cui Ling seemed to be stupid, she didn't know how to hide.

When the people around were scolding, an elderly man and a woman rushed out of the crowd and quickly pulled Cui Ling back.

The old man was still poking Cui Ling's forehead and scolding her: "I can't even do this little thing!" Lao Tzu really gave birth to you for nothing! ”

“……”

Lu Zi'an's eyes widened.

Fang Cai Cuiling also cried with tears in her eyes that her father was about to die of illness on the bed......

She felt cold and thankful again, but fortunately Lin Yueru was by her side.

For a while, I really didn't feel a good feeling in my heart, and my face was ugly when I clenched my hands.

Lin Yueru found the two people in the corner early in the morning.

Seeing that they didn't watch the excitement, but just stared closely at Cui Ling and Lu Zi'an's reactions, they probably guessed their identities and intentions.

It's nothing more than insatiable greed, and wants to take advantage of Cui Ling's last bit of affection in Lu Zi'an's place to squeeze more money.

She patted Lu Zi'an on the shoulder.

"It is better to believe in a person than in yourself. Being betrayed by someone close to you is unpredictable but can happen at any time, and it's not your fault, so don't mind. ”

Lu Zi was relieved, leaned on Lin Yueru's shoulder and sobbed a few times.

I waited three days when I got back.

Lin Yueru came to the teahouse at the agreed time with Shi Jie.

At this time, when there were no people, the teahouse was very clean.

Lin Yueru got down from the carriage, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw seven or eight people sitting in the room.

Shi Jie, the leader, hung his head, too ashamed to look up at her.

He swore three days ago that he could bring more than ten people.

But now that he has worn out his mouth, he has only called seven or eight people.

Lin Yueru was as if she didn't realize it, and greeted her with a cordial smile as soon as she entered the door.

"I've been waiting for a long time."
