When Lin Yushu received the news to return home, she was making Dankou with Chuntao.

The bright red Impatiens flowers made the nails look very beautiful. Chuntao lowered her head and carefully untied the cloth strips to clean the remaining alum on Lin Yushu's nails.

Several maids in the inner courtyard rushed into Lin Yushu's courtyard like a gust of wind with smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss. The old lady sent someone to pass on the message that someone will take Miss back to the general's mansion in a few days!"

"Miss, pack your things quickly. Someone might come from the capital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

The old woman spoke with great joy, and the other old women beside her also responded happily, as if Lin Yushu had just won the top spot in the imperial examination.

The maids chattered for a while, and then found Lin Yushu standing in front of them, looking at them quietly without saying a word. Lin Yushu's momentum was different from before, and her silent gaze seemed to be real, pressing them to shrink their necks and turn them into quails.

When the yard returned to silence, Lin Yushu smiled gently, full of charm.

"Thank you for your care, Madams. I will definitely repay you generously when I have the chance. But... I don't have much to pack, so I won't trouble you Madams."

Lin Yushu paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, "I do have something to trouble you maids. I don't have many maids around me. If there is a suitable candidate, you can recommend one to me."

Several maids lowered their heads and rolled their eyes. One of them with a quick mind immediately said, "My dear young lady, you tend to forget things easily. Your things are stored in the courtyard of Maid Wang and Butler Yang. I will help you move them back."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards Yang's courtyard. The other maids also reacted, secretly hating themselves for being a little slow. They hurriedly ran behind the maid, one faster than the other, for fear of falling behind others.

Chun Tao stared in amazement at the dust raised by the women behind them, unable to react. "What happened to them?"

Lin Yushu lowered her head to admire the newly made Dankou carefully, not caring much, "They are busy earning their own future wealth."

Chuntao couldn't understand what the wealth of the old woman's family had to do with the things that were taken away from the young lady by Zhaodi and her daughter, so she stopped thinking about it and just concentrated on cleaning Lin Yushu's nails. The young lady's nail polish was more important.

Within the time it took to burn an incense stick, a commotion broke out in Wang Po's yard. Wang Po's angry curses drowned out the other maids and tore apart the last disguise of peace in the courtyard.

Not long after, a short and fat figure appeared in Lin Yushu's sight. With a face flushed with anger, Mrs. Wang ran to Lin Yushu on her short and thick legs.

Words were carved on Zhaodi's body, and she would never marry into a rich family in her lifetime. All of Wang Po's hopes for the rest of her life were shattered to dust. For no reason, she blamed Lin Yushu for all this.

If she had been able to let Li Erma ruin her reputation, what happened later would not have happened!

Seeing that Lin Yushu was taking advantage of her upcoming return home and actually changed her usual wooden temper and sent people to take back her things, Wang Po simply revealed her true colors and vented all her resentment towards Lin Yushu.

"Ha, the young lady is indeed blessed with great fortune. She can even return home one day! However, if it weren't for the dedication of this old servant and his family to serve the young lady, how could the young lady, who is so delicate and weak, have survived until now?"

Mrs. Wang clutched her clothes tightly, filled with grief and indignation, and almost pointed at Lin Yushu and scolded her for being ungrateful.

"It doesn't matter if the young lady doesn't remember the kindness of my family, but now that Zhaodi has been in such trouble, how can you add insult to injury..."

Those who knew thought that Lin Yushu wanted to take back what belonged to her, while those who didn’t thought that she wanted to take Wang Po’s life.

Chun Tao's face turned red with anger. She said angrily, "What are you talking about? You usually deduct the young lady's food allowance, causing her to be weak and sick. Now the young lady just wants back what you took away from her, and you dare to speak so arrogantly. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?!"

Po Wang stiffened her neck and was about to quarrel with Chuntao. I reached out to stop Chuntao and stared at Po Wang with a sharp look. Po Wang was like a chicken with its neck grabbed. She stared with her eyes wide open and her face turned red. She dared not say another word.

Lin Yushu had a cold face and said in a grim tone, "Because of Zhaodi's accident, Nanny Wang has lost her mind. Could it be that she thinks you are the one who makes the decisions about the other courtyard?"

The sharp eyes like knives passed through Wang Pozi, and Wang Pozi shuddered, and her face, which had been as red as pig liver, turned pale. Wang Pozi swallowed her saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, you are joking. Of course, the second lady is in charge of this villa!"

Thinking of her mistress, the Second Madam, Mrs. Wang regained her confidence, secretly cursing Lin Yushu for having changed so much recently and having such a breathtaking aura.

Lin Yushu's lips curled up slightly, her expression sarcastic, "Madame Wang, do you think that you can live a safe and prosperous life by boarding Second Aunt's boat?"

Mrs. Wang stared at Lin Yushu in confusion, obviously not understanding the principle of "the dog is abandoned after the rabbit has died".

"You and I are master and servant, I will never force you. You can keep the things you took from me, I will never steal them, are you at ease with this?"

Mrs. Wang was delighted when she heard this. "I hope the young lady will keep her word!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. Lin Yushu's treasures were her mother's dowry, which was very valuable. Wang Pozi and Zhaodi had spent a lot of effort to coax them from Lin Yushu. Now that Zhaodi's marriage was completely hopeless, how could Wang Pozi be willing to give up these treasures?

As soon as Mrs. Wang walked out of the yard, Chuntao screamed and burst into tears out of anger.

Lin Yushu comforted her helplessly: "I said I would definitely take back the things my mother left me, you still don't believe me?"

Chun Tao raised her face with sobs and asked tearfully, "Does the young lady have a backup plan?"

Lin Yushu gently tapped Chuntao's forehead and said, "Needless to say, you little idiot."

Lin Yushu looked at the figure of Mrs. Wang who had disappeared at the gate of the courtyard and smiled grimly, "She thought she had grabbed a treasure, but she didn't know that it was their death warrant."

Chuntao couldn't help but shudder when she saw her young lady's smile. She found that recently, the more beautiful her young lady's smile was, the more cruel the words and actions she said were.

The hair of several old women were disheveled and their clothes were torn in all directions. They did not get anything back from Old Woman Wang and looked embarrassed.

"The servants in the front yard all listen to Mrs. Wang. We, the servants, really..." We can't beat those people.

"I appreciate the kindness of the maids."

Then he looked behind them and said, "Is there no suitable maid in the other courtyard that you can recommend to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several maids showed incredible expressions. All along, if their master's task was not accomplished, then there would be no benefits.

They didn't expect that Lin Yushu would ask them to recommend maids. This was a huge benefit!

If their daughters and granddaughters could become second-class maids or even head maids by their master's side, not only would their status be different from that of low-ranking servants, but they might also be able to enter Lin Yushu's husband's house as a dowry maid when she gets married.

If there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave and you are favored by the future son-in-law, you will be a concubine, which means you are half a master!

Several maids happily agreed and were about to send someone over for Lin Yushu to choose.

After a while, a dozen reserved yet excited little maids stood in Lin Yushu's room.

Lin Yushu carefully looked at the young faces, searching for the person in her memory.
