"You servants are naturally the master's servants." Those people still responded shamelessly.

Lin Xi sneered, anxiously waiting for what was going on inside, "In that case, then what does father want you to do in the second room?"

She looked closely and found that the servant was Cai Da, the son of Xu's trusted nanny. Because of his wet nurse, he was also domineering in the mansion and even often secretly took Lin Zhaoyu out to play mahjong.

She suddenly had a better idea in her mind and frowned: "I will report today's events to my mother, you can go down now!"

Lin Min, who was standing aside, shook his head: "Sister, don't do this for me."

Having offended someone, he lowered his head and did not speak out his inner thoughts.

But how could Lin Xi not see it? She already had an idea in her mind. Since everyone in the Lin Mansion was selfish, why couldn't she find a new owner for the Lin Mansion?

A master who can lead the Lin family back on the right track.

Lin Xi turned around and asked him, "Do you want to be bullied by these people for the rest of your life?"

Lin Min's eyes darkened completely, and his hanging hands were clenched into fists. How could he not understand the meaning behind his elder sister's words? But in this situation, how could he dare to speak out?

"If you can't even handle them, are you going to have to rely on me in the future?"

Lin Min had frowned at first, but after hearing these words, he bowed to Lin Xi and said, "It's my brother's fault."

"You can't stand out if you are patient. I said that you have to be strong enough." Lin Xi whispered, "Now that you have made up your mind, you have to decide what to do."

"Didn't you say that there was someone reliable around you? Call him over and take a look."

Lin Min responded carefully: "He is the person my father left for me. He is no longer on the list in the mansion and has always lived outside the mansion."

"I need him to do something." Lin Xi stood straight and continued, "Keep an eye on the gambling house that costs a fortune, and see if Lin Zhaoyu is there. Also, it would be best to see who are the servants who are taking Lin Zhaoyu there."

Lin Min also understood that her elder sister wanted to attack Xu through Lin Zhaoyu.

The two stood outside the door waiting for news from the people inside.

"Yue Ru is growing up day by day, and it is not suitable for her to live with you. You will have to separate and live on your own. Leave Yue Ru to me!" Lin Xi said in a calm voice, with a glimmer in her eyes: "Second Uncle just lost contact, maybe he will come back later?"

From inside the room came Aunt Xu's surprised voice: "Miss, Miss Yueru is fine."

After hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and stepped inside to take a look.

Lin Xi first saw the maid standing next to Aunt Xu. She was wearing linen clothes and had calm eyes. She was not happy about saving the young lady. She was someone who could do great things.

She calmly sat down beside the bed and looked at Yueru, who was thin, and couldn't help asking, "Yueru, why are you so thin?"

Lin Min pursed his lips. Before he could say anything, Aunt Xu spoke up, "Miss, can't you see? The Xu family treats servants harshly, especially the other two families. The third family already has private property, and the second family's private property is also occupied by the Xu family. They can only use the money from the first family. How many servants have passed through this process, and how many people have embezzled it. How much will be left in the hands of Master Min?"

Lin Xi nodded and held Yueru's hand tightly. Yueru was also implicated by her in her previous life. If Lin Min could have a good future, her marriage would not have fallen into the hands of the Xu family, and she would not have been hastily married to a man whose character was unknown.

"Yueru, go stay in your elder sister's yard for a few days!" Lin Xi coaxed softly.

Lin Yueru slowly opened her eyes. After escaping death, her frail appearance made people feel pity for her. "Okay."

Lin Xi gently held her thin wrist, turned around and told Chunhua: "Go and tell mother that my yard is deserted, so let Yueru stay in my yard for a few days, and tell her about her illness. You know how to talk."

Chunhua nodded, turned and walked out.

She walked all the way to Xu's yard and waited for Xu at the door for a long time before she got the chance to go in and see Xu.

Xu had already washed and combed her hair, and removed all the hairpins on her head. She stared at the little maid in front of her expressionlessly, "You said, how many days did Miss Xi let Yueru stay in her courtyard?"

There was nothing wrong with the sisters living in each other's houses. She had just told him about Lin Xi's marriage and now she didn't want her to notice anything else, so she nodded and agreed.

She gently raised her hand, stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and asked, "Has she done anything recently?"

Chunhua lowered her head tightly and shook her head nervously: "No."

Xu nodded and let her leave.

But when Chunhua retreated, she happened to run into Lin Zhaoyu, who looked panicked and behaved furtively. As soon as he entered Xu's courtyard, he knelt down and begged, "Mother, you must save me."

Chunhua wanted to know what had happened that made Lin Zhaoyu so panicked, but she was driven out by the people in Xu's yard, so she hurried to find Lin Xi.

On the other side, Mrs. Xu looked at the unpromising Lin Zhaoyu and wanted to slap him. She scolded him, "Didn't I tell you not to go out? Why are you gambling again? Besides, aren't you under house arrest now? Do you want your father to beat you to death?"

It was not that Xu didn't know how much Lin Hewen valued Lin Zhaoyu's academic performance, but he was just a loser and often asked her to clean up his mess.

"Mom, please save me. I will never go there again. I will study hard and never gamble again. I was harmed this time by someone's trick." Lin Zhaoyu said crying.

Xu sat dejectedly on the stool and motioned him to stand up. She propped her head up with her hands and asked, "How much is it this time?"

Lin Zhaoyu didn't dare to answer, he lowered his head and stammered.

Seeing him like this, Xu was very angry. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "How much is it? If you don't tell me, I will tell your father and let him deal with you."

Lin Zhaoyu knelt down again after hearing this, and only then did he dare to tell the amount of money he owed this time: "Three thousand taels."

"What?" Xu was stunned and said hesitantly, "Three thousand taels?"

There is not even three thousand taels in the public account of the mansion now. She threw the cup to the ground, stood up, and slapped him in the face: "Do you want to die? Three thousand taels is the expenditure of the mansion for five years. How can I save you this time? Tell me..."

Lin Yuanyue opened the curtain and walked out. She looked solemnly at Lin Zhaoyu who was kneeling on the ground, and said with her red lips: "Mother, I will think of a way."

"What can you do?" Xu's face turned pale. This was three thousand taels.

"Isn't there a private storehouse in the mansion?" Lin Yuanyue said slowly, "Since it is a private storehouse, who would know if I secretly took a few things out to sell them?"

"Those are Lin Xi's mother's things. What will happen if your father finds out?" Xu hesitated for a while, but there was no other way. She closed her eyes and agreed.
