Lin Yushu asked Cuizhu to go to the gate of the mansion and bring the person to Bixiao Courtyard.

A figure as tall and straight as a pine or bamboo knelt directly in front of Lin Yushu and kowtowed three times.

Lin Yushu quickly asked Chuntao to help her up.

"I really didn't expect that in less than two months, you would be able to break away from Qiusha Pavilion and come to me."

Leng Dai raised her face, her sharp, star-like eyes filled with gratitude.

"If it weren't for your help, Leng Dai would never be where she is today. The people in Qiusha Hall are just a bunch of rabble, fighting to the death for some petty gains. It's not that difficult to get rid of them."

As she spoke, Leng Dai took out a piece of paper from her bosom and placed it in front of Lin Yushu with both hands.

This is... a contract of sale!

"I don't need you to sell yourself to me. I saved you because you are unwilling to be manipulated. If you sell yourself to me, won't you be back to the same situation as before?"

Leng Dai looked into Lin Yushu's eyes seriously.

"It's different. I really want to stay with the young lady, even if I can be a servant. This is the choice I made after I gained my freedom. It is a decision made in my heart!"

"I have no parents or relatives, I am all alone. If the young lady doesn't take me in, I will be homeless..."

Seeing that Leng Dai was getting more and more upset as she spoke, Lin Yushu pulled her up from the ground.

"In that case, you don't have to sell yourself. If you sign the contract, you will be the general's maid, not mine..."

What's the difference?

Leng Dai didn't understand, but as long as Lin Yushu asked her to stay by her side, she would listen to her in everything.

"Just sign a living contract and register it in the palace's register."

After Lin Yushu finished speaking, Shi Lan took Leng Dai out to register them.

After that, Lin Yushu personally took Leng Dai to familiarize herself with the general's mansion. Just as they walked past the viewing lake, a sharp and harsh voice came from behind them.

"Oh, isn't this the eldest daughter of the general's mansion who showed off in front of the emperor? Oh, by the way, now you have to call her Princess Shuyi."

Lin Yazi has changed a lot over the years. She is no longer as plump as she was in the past. Now she is as thin as a stick. Her face is no longer fair and tender. It is dry and wrinkled. However, her expression is still as contemptuous and arrogant as it was many years ago.

Nearly twenty years have been like a washboard, rubbing Lin Yazi into wrinkles.

I remember that it was nine years ago, when Lin Yazi had been married for ten years and had not given birth to a son. She returned to Beijing once, saying that she wanted to burn incense at Baohua Temple to pray for a child.

That year, Lin Yushu's mother Ye Yuanshuang died of illness, and Lin Yazi happened to be in the general's mansion.

Lin Yushu looked at Lin Yazi with extremely cold eyes. She suspected that her mother's death was related to Lin Yazi!

"Aunt is well."

Lin Yushu did not salute, but just nodded.

Lin Yazi was angered by the indifference in Lin Yushu's eyes, thinking of her own beautiful daughter, who had to marry a sickly boy like the prince as a bride for good fortune.

And the culprit behind all this is Lin Yushu!

How dare she, the daughter of a bitch!

"Now that Miss Lin has become the county lord, does she not know how to greet her elders?"

Lin Yazi's voice rose, attracting the attention of the servants around.

Lin Yushu looked at Lin Yazi neither humbly nor arrogantly. Now that she had grown taller, she could look down at Lin Yazi slightly.

Lin Yushu's contemptuous gaze was filled with the aura of a superior that suddenly burst out, which made Lin Yazi feel a little scared.

"Oh? Auntie, are you trying to say that I don't know the difference between high and low?"

"Oh, my aunt has been in charge of the Liu family for many years, but she doesn't even know that the ruler is the leader of the ministers before the father is the leader of the sons. I am the second-rank Shuyi County Princess personally appointed by His Majesty. My aunt has no rank, but she wants me to bow to her."

"Or is it that Duke Liu does not respect His Majesty and has no regard for the Emperor?"

The sonorous and powerful words made Lin Yazi feel a chill on her back and cold sweat on her forehead.

"You, you're talking nonsense, I didn't..."

Lin Yazi was inexplicably accused of disrespecting Emperor Ming by Lin Yushu, but she was speechless because what Lin Yushu said made sense!

The entire Liuguo Mansion cannot afford such a crime. If it gets to the old lady's ears, I'm afraid she will suffer when she returns.

Lin Yazi's face turned pale. Seeing the servants around her who were attracted by her previous roar, she really shot herself in the foot!

"What are you looking at? If you dare to gossip, I will let the old lady sell you out!"

Lin Yazi could only vent her impotent rage on the servants who had no power to resist. She looked at Lin Yushu with some fear, then turned around and walked away in shame.

Just as Lin Yushu had remembered him, he looked fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Thinking back to when Ye Rushuang was eloquent and mad at Lin Yazi, Lin Yazi was just like today, coming over arrogantly and running away in a mess.

"Miss, would you like me to teach her a lesson?"

The moment Lin Yazi provoked her, Leng Dai's fists hardened and her knuckles cracked.

"No need, she is my aunt after all, and the wife of Duke Liu."

"It's okay, I can find a sack..."

Lin Yushu quickly grabbed Leng Dai, who was about to make a move, and gave a bitter smile.

"It's really unnecessary..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady."

Now red lanterns and red silks are placed everywhere in the palace. In the bleak autumn colors, they are like flowers blooming again, gorgeous and bloody.

Lin Yushu looked up at the word "囍" pasted on the window of the courtyard in the mansion.

Well...Liu Mei and the prince's wedding is coming soon.

-

"Mother, I haven't seen Lin Yushu for many years. She has changed so much that she even dared to threaten me openly!"

As soon as she returned to Ci'an Hospital, Lin Yazi couldn't help but complain to the old lady.

The old lady already knew what happened in the backyard. She knew her daughter's temper and sighed.

"Don't argue with her. This Lin Yushu is a bit weird."

"Hmph, her mother died young, and there's no telling when her father and brother will die on the battlefield. She's no different from an orphan. Could it be that her mother is afraid of her?"

The old lady's face darkened, and deep wrinkles appeared between her furrowed brows. Ever since Lin Yushu returned home, she began to age rapidly.

"Don't be upset, mother. Lin Yushu now looks too much like her dead mother, but she is much more vicious than her mother. I'm afraid if we keep her, she will sooner or later become a serious threat to the general's mansion."

On the surface, the second wife and Lin Yazi were not on good terms with the first wife, but secretly, Ye Yuanshuang's death was also related to them.

Therefore, the Old Madam and Lin Minglang have been trying to use the First House as their stepping stone. Once the surplus value of the First House is completely squeezed out, they can completely eradicate the people in the First House and prevent future troubles!

But Lin Yushu exceeded her expectations. Every time the old lady made a move, she dodged it.

Not only that, but it was other people in the general’s mansion who suffered every time.

Ever since Lin Yushu was conferred the title of Princess Shuyi, the old lady had been thinking every day about how to deal with this granddaughter who was increasingly out of her control.

Today, she made up her mind!
