After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Lin Yanyu paused and looked in the direction of the voice.

She saw a beautiful girl of the same age as her walking up to the rosewood table in Jinxiu Pavilion and standing there, looking at her with a smile.

"Sister Lin, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Lin Yanyu glanced at the girl.

The girl was wearing a pink skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun, a purple flower in her hair, a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, two green jade earrings in her ears, a jade bracelet on her wrist, she had a long face, light willow-like eyebrows, watery almond eyes, and a delicate little mouth with a faint smile on it.

When Lin Yanyu looked at the girl, the girl was also looking at her carefully.

Lin Yanyu was afraid of the cold, so even though the weather was getting warmer, she still wore a light cloud-colored jacket and a moon-white skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun. She had no other decorations except a red gold, pearl-inlaid lotus hairpin, and white jade earrings hanging from her ears. She had a plump oval face, two curved eyebrows like distant mountains, a pair of grape eyes, her pupils like ink-colored glass, a small and delicate upturned nose, and no makeup on, but her lips, which were full of desire, were bright pink and shiny.

The more the girl looked at her, the more her heart sank. Lin Yanyu looked so outstanding. If she were a man, she would not be able to let go for a while.

Lin Yanyu frowned in confusion under the other person's gaze: "Excuse me... who are you?"

The girl came back to her senses and smiled shyly: "Sister Lin, you are a noble person who forgets things easily, but it is also because I am small and ordinary. If I could have such a beautiful appearance as you, I would naturally be unforgettable."

Lin Yanyu frowned even more tightly, "I don't remember that I have a sister like you, and... who are you?"

A little maid with two buns standing behind the girl stepped out at this moment and said in a shrill voice: "How dare you! Our young lady treats you with courtesy, why are you being rude to our young lady!"

Lin Yanyu: “?”

Lady Jin stood up at the right time and smiled to smooth things over: "Madam Li, this is Miss Dong Yue'e, the daughter of the county magistrate. Miss Dong is the wife of Lieutenant Li. I wonder if Miss Dong is here to pick up the dress she ordered a few days ago?"

Dong Yue'e nodded slightly to Lady Jin, then turned to Lin Yanyu and said with a smile, "Sister was having a great time chatting with Shopkeeper Jin just now. I blame my sister for not being tactful and disturbing you two."

Lin Yanyu was stunned for a moment. The county magistrate’s daughter?

Suddenly, she thought of the girl who called Madam Dong Er "Aunt" in Yingkeju that day.

She felt even weirder.

Out of courtesy, Lin Yanyu stood up and bowed half-way to Dong Yue'e, "Hello, Miss Dong, I am sorry for being rude. I didn't think of it for a moment."

Dong Yue'e hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lin Yanyu's hand, and said with a warm smile: "How can you blame Sister Lin? It was Auntie who was too noisy and rude that day. But don't worry, Sister, my second uncle has already punished her severely."

Lin Yanyu frowned slightly. No matter how domineering Madam Dong was, she was still an elder. How could Dong Yue'e, a junior, bully her elders in front of outsiders?

If that's the case, then why did he act so weak that day at the Yingke Residence, as if he could be easily knocked down if pushed?

Lin Yanyu's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells, as if she had returned to the backyard of her previous life.

She didn't know what Dong Yue'e was up to, so she could only smile and say, "No, Madam Dong is just a person of temperament, I don't blame her."

Dong Yue'e smiled brightly: "That's great. Sister Lin said something about whore or not the other day. I thought you really pissed off Second Aunt."

After that, without giving Lin Yanyu a chance to speak, he continued, "What were Sister Lin talking about with Shopkeeper Jin just now? I don't have many sisters to keep me company at home on weekdays. I'm really happy to see Sister Lin today. I wonder if I can sit down."

Dong Yue'e's maid interrupted at the right time, her sharp voice could be heard by everyone in Jinxiu Pavilion.

"Miss, you are the daughter of a county magistrate. Do you need to ask the wife of the county lieutenant for permission to sit on a chair?"

The corners of Lin Yanyu's lips, which were raised out of courtesy, slowly sank.

She looked straight at Dong Yue'e and spoke in a clear voice, "This is Jinxiu Pavilion, and the chair belongs to Jinxiu Pavilion's shopkeeper Jin. Whether Miss Dong wants to sit or not, she shouldn't ask me about it without asking the host, and... you!"

Lin Yanyu's eyes turned fierce and shot at the little maid, saying in a deep voice: "Those who know you say that you are the maid of the county magistrate's family. Those who don't know you think you are a mean-mouthed little woman from somewhere. I heard that the county magistrate is a strict and well-behaved family. It must be you, a dog slave, who has ruined the reputation of the county magistrate and your young lady."

No matter how powerful Lin Yanyu is, she has been the mistress of the family for decades, but her mentality has changed and she has become softer. Now when she gets angry, she is still very powerful.

The little maid had never seen such a scene before. She was frightened by Lin Yanyu's words. Her face turned pale and she dared not say a word. In the end, she showed her fear and looked to Dong Yue'e for help.

Dong Yue'e was flustered for a moment, and then she shouted at the little maid: "You little dog slave, why don't you slap yourself in the face!"

The little maid glanced at Dong Yue'e, and immediately knelt down in front of Lin Yanyu with a plop.

He raised his hand and slapped himself loudly, and after each slap he said, "Please forgive me, Madam County Lieutenant!"

Some people passing by Jinxiu Pavilion heard the noise and stopped at the door of Jinxiu Pavilion.

Lady Jin wanted to get up and drive away the onlookers, but Lin Yanyu held her back and said, "It's okay."

Lin Yanyu walked around the little maid who was panting and slapping herself, then raised her eyes and looked at Dong Yue'e with a smile.

"Miss Dong, is this your personal maid?"

Dong Yue'e looked at the little maid with a distressed expression, then looked at Lin Yanyu with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, Sister Lin, it's all my fault that I indulged her too much and didn't discipline her enough. She offended you. Please forgive her this time."

Lin Yanyu opened her round grape eyes, half opened her mouth, and said in surprise: "Why are you begging me? Didn't you ask her to slap her in the face? This is your maid, is it possible that she doesn't listen to you but me? And you said that you don't discipline your subordinates, I think... that's not necessarily true?"

Lin Yanyu grabbed the little maid who was fanning herself with her arms and rolled up half of her arms.

Sure enough, the purple and blue bruises spread from the back of the hand to the forearm and disappeared under the cover of the clothing.

When the little maid raised her hand, she vaguely saw bruises on her sleeves.

The discussions of the crowd watching at the door spread into the house.

"Why are there so many wounds on this little maid's hands? It's so pitiful."

"Who did this? Who dares to hit the maid of the county magistrate's family?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's..." His voice trailed off.

"Oh, I can't tell!"

……

Dong Yue'e's mind went blank, and she could no longer maintain her expression. After a few moments of silence, she regained her composure and said with sorrow, "This maid stole my jewelry and sold it. My mother is very strict in managing the household, and she wanted to beat her and sell her to a pawnshop. I felt sorry for her young age, so I knelt down and begged my mother for a long time before she let her stay."

The little maid suddenly looked up at Dong Yue'e, then lowered her head again.

Lin Yanyu observed the expressions of the two people, shook her head in amusement, and said with a strange smile on her lips: "So that's how it is, then Miss Dong is really a beautiful person with a kind heart~"

Dong Yue'e didn't seem to understand what Lin Yanyu meant. She pretended to be shy and said, "Sister Lin, you are so kind. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I will not be with you for now."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Yanyu deeply, and left Jinxiu Pavilion with the little maid who had her head lowered.

Mrs. Jin stood aside with her brows wide open, watching the situation develop, and only then did she suddenly remember.

"Miss Dong! You haven't picked up your clothes yet!"
