Aunt Wan and others rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Huang Yue's house.
After a while, a small toy-like millstone was unearthed from a pile of debris.
Huang Yue was shocked when she saw this thing turned out.
"What is this?" Lu Lingjun saw this at a glance.
It looked like the small millstone had ground a lot of things, and there was a bunch of powder stuck in the gap. Huang Yue flew in front of Lu Lingyun, grabbed the small millstone tightly, and shed tears before saying a word, "Young madam, this is my father. Gadgets made for me!”
"Why are you so nervous? I just want to see." Lu Lingjun looked at her with a smile.
"Young madam, this is a relic left by my father to me!" Huang Yue hugged the small millstone tightly and burst into tears. "When I was young, my parents grinded beans and made tofu day and night. I want to help My father and mother worked hard, and my father felt sorry for me because I was young, so he specially made this small millstone for me."
"When they were grinding beans with a big millstone, I would sit and grind them with this small millstone. Now that my parents are gone, they left this thing for me. Young Madam, Xiaoyue, you can have anything you want, even your life. Okay, but Xiaoyue really can’t give you this millstone.”
Huang Yue cried so deeply that everyone in the room stopped and looked at Huang Yue with sympathy and pity.
After all, everyone is a member of the lower class. Even those who followed Lu Lingyun couldn't bear to see this.
Who is not a father and mother who raises children? If the family is not miserable or poor, they cannot ask their children to go out and work as slaves.
This also meant that Lu Lingyun had no choice but to go to her to ask for something. Her parents were dead, so she left a worthless object for her to remember. Even if she was the mistress of the house, she couldn't force her to take it in public.
To ask for it by force is to show the air of a master and not to treat the servants as human beings at all.
Lu Lingjun narrowed his eyes and said, "Huang Yue, your filial piety is commendable."
"Thank you, madam, for your understanding. Thank you, madam, for your support." Huang Yue hurriedly walked down the steps to express her gratitude.
"But I see how cute your gadget is. The young master happens to be short of some gadgets. I came up with ten taels of silver to buy it to coax him and tell him to play with it for a while. I will pay you back in a few days."
It was Huang Yue who helped her out just now, and the one who asked her to be her master couldn't ask for it first. Now Lu Lingjun wants to buy it, and it's ten taels of silver to buy for the young master Cheng Bingan to play with for a few days. This is definitely a big deal for her. favor.
If ordinary servants and maids hear this, let alone playing for a few days, even giving it to the young master for free is a great favor to them.
The young master has taken a liking to a worthless thing like yours, so how can he get paid for it?
But when Huang Yue heard what Lu Lingjun said, her brows knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan", and her white face turned aggrieved and hurt again, "Young Madam, this is the only relic left by my parents for me. If there is anything else, give it to the young master." For fun, just take it from the manager, don’t mention the silver, any more words will be a humiliation to Xiaoyue."
"But Xiaoyue wants to keep this little millstone, and it's not clean. If the young master is dirty, Xiaoyue will really be a sinner!"
Huang Yue was crying again, but this time, the people around her didn't sympathize with her. Instead, they felt that she didn't know how to behave or appreciate her.
The owner took a fancy to her things, and it wasn't that they didn't give her money or that they were lost or destroyed. They just borrowed them for a few days to play with. They gave her money and promised to return them to her. Even if they were relics, they weren't so stingy.
She cried and cried at every turn, making it seem like Lu Lingyun was still bullying her.
Lu Lingjun looked at Huang Yue who was holding the things and didn't let go. He looked like he had lost interest and said, "Well, since you don't want to, then forget it."
The people around him all looked at Huang Yue with disgust.
Lu Lingjun led the people out. Several maids passed Huang Yue and cursed in a low voice, "I've never seen you so stingy!"
"How does the Young Madam treat us servants? Who wouldn't say good things to you? Besides, the Young Madam is still helping you investigate the case. She asked you to borrow a gadget but she still resisted. She really gave me face and kicked her nose. .”
"Hold your broken millstone! If you are so stingy, no one will interact with you again!"
This time Huang Yue offended a group of people for the first time.
Whether it's from Lu Lingyun's side or from Yaoguang Pavilion.
Huang Yue is usually pure and pleasant, and has won many people's love and support, but everyone has to take sides. Seeing Huang Yue being so stingy, cunning and ignorant, she quickly aroused the disgust of a group of servants.
Popularity is a very subtle thing and can be of great use at critical moments.
For example, when Lu Lingyun was just picked up and Lu Lingyun couldn't get people to ask for her things in front of her maid, that was using her popularity.
Lu Lingjun could force it regardless of everyone's opinions, but forcefully would put himself on the opposite side of his subordinates, and he would lose a lot of favor and trust.
Although Lu Lingjun, as the head matron, does not care about this, there is no need for her prestige and goodwill to be lost in a place like this. This is not worth the loss.
Lu Lingjun wanted to cherish his feathers, but he couldn't always make his mistress powerful and suppress people.
Huang Yue had just grasped this point and made good use of her popularity.
But she didn't expect that Lu Lingyun would call her back with a few words, destroying her popularity.
From now on, when Huang Yue cries again, everyone will not immediately think that she is wronged or innocent, but will only think of her stinginess and lack of appreciation, which will make her cry lose half of its power in the future.
Huang Yue saw a group of people sneering at her, feeling disgusted and disappointed. She knew that she had lost a lot of people's hearts, but she was protected by this hot thing in her hand!
She looked left and right and saw that everyone was gone. She quickly hid her millstone under the bed and followed them quickly.
Here, Lu Lingjun led people to Linglong's house.
Linglong was beaten today and saw Huang Yue's house being turned over, so she didn't dare to say anything to stop her.
He stood aside obediently, waiting for Lu Lingyun to search.
Lu Lingjun gave Nanny Wan a look, and everyone started searching again.
After a while, when Aunt Wan was shaking off Linglong's quilt, a bell rang loudly, and a silver hairpin fell out of Linglong's quilt.
When Linglong saw this scene, her eyes dropped, and her pretty face turned pale with fright.
When Huang Yue, who was coming over, saw this, secret joy flashed in her eyes.
Fortunately, fortunately, although I had just suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Lingjun, the matter did not go away in the end!
She yelled and rushed forward, "This is my hairpin!"
Linglong already knew that she was determined to get someone to plot against her. She argued in a panic, "Young madam, I really didn't do this!"
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, my things were found in your bed, what else do you have to deny!" Huang Yue angrily scolded Linglong with bright eyes.
The pride in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Huh, fight this bitch with her! She can't kill her!
