Chapter 226 Lin Mansion 21

Zhao Er took the handkerchief and nodded, then took Yun Chu to the backyard.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go call them over. Because Auntie didn't allow us to drink mung bean soup before, no one knows you're here yet."

Zhao'er was also helpless. As servants, they had no right to choose. Whatever the master said was the truth, and obedience was the most basic thing to do.

Yun Chu nodded. It was okay to wait for a while since the mission would be completed soon anyway.

Zhao'er acted quickly, and soon he called over a dozen maids and two old women.

When Yun Chu saw that everyone was present, he immediately opened the lid of the wooden barrel and served them soup, while Zhao Er helped.

"Zhao'er, why did Auntie suddenly change her mind? I thought we would not be able to drink the mung bean soup today."

A servant came forward with a bowl and asked.

Zhao Er glanced at him and said, "How can we know what the master is thinking? Just enjoy your mung bean soup."

The servant returned to his original seat in disappointment.

The following process was the same as before. Yun Chu was already very skilled and finished making all the mung bean soup in a short while.

The two women sat on a stone bench in the corner to rest, watching the birds in the sky and chatting.

"We don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to have met this master. We are the ones who have the worst life in the entire Lin Mansion."

A woman sighed and couldn't help complaining,

Another maid echoed, "That's right. It's Madam Hua's own business that she can't win over the other madams, but she's taking it out on us. It's unreasonable for her to not let the servants drink a bowl of mung bean soup. By the way, what happened last night..."

Before she could finish her words, the woman next to her pushed her hard.

She looked around and lowered her voice and said, "Are you crazy? Do you need me to teach you what to say and what not to say?"

What they thought were whispers fell clearly into Yun Chu's ears.

What happened at night? What on earth could have made these two women so nervous?

After packing up the barrels, Yun Chu followed everyone out.

As they walked, Yun Chu came behind the two women.

The two of them were not stupid, and they soon realized that something was wrong with Yun Chu. They stopped and looked at Yun Chu in confusion: "Miss Yun Chu, is there something wrong?"

"I do have something to ask you two, I wonder if it's convenient."

Yun Chu smiled and naturally put a piece of paper money into each of their hands.

"Oh! That's convenient, girl, if you have any questions, just ask us directly. We will tell you everything we know."

When the old woman saw the paper money in her hand, her face was covered with wrinkles when she smiled.

"I just heard from you two that something happened to my aunt tonight. Can you tell me what it was?"

Yun Chu asked tentatively, these two old women must know something.

Sure enough, the two women looked at each other and regretted their nonsense.

One of the maids shook her head and said in denial: "We don't know what could have happened. Miss Yunchu should go back to the kitchen as soon as possible. The path in the garden will be difficult to walk when it gets dark. It's better to go back early."

Yun Chu guessed that this question was not that easy to ask, but she did not expect to be rejected so quickly.

This old woman was obviously rejecting her and trying to drive her away. The more they did this, the more Yun Chu became curious about what had happened to Aunt Hua.

So Yun Chu stuffed several more ghost money in the bag. Money can make the world go round. Who would resist the temptation of money?

Sure enough, the two women struggled for a while but finally compromised.

After sighing, he warned Yun Chu mysteriously: "Don't tell anyone else after you know it, and don't say that we told you."

"Of course, don't worry, both of you." Yun Chu promised.

The old woman looked at the paper money in her hand and sighed helplessly.

"It was a strange thing. One night when I got up to go to the bathroom, I suddenly remembered that I had left a dustpan in the garden at my aunt's door while working during the day.

You also know Aunt Hua’s temper. In order to avoid being scolded the next day, I had to hurry to find the dustpan in the middle of the night, but I didn’t expect to see…”

Having said this, the old woman suddenly paused, as if she didn't dare to continue.

Yun Chu was very curious and hurriedly asked: "What did you see?"

The old woman finally couldn't hold it back and told everything she saw: "I saw a strange man walking out of my aunt's room."

what? !

Strange man?

He walked out of Aunt Hua's room in the middle of the night!

Yun Chu was shocked. It was not that she was overthinking it. Whether in ancient times or modern times, it was not a serious matter for a man to come out of a woman's room in the middle of the night, not to mention that the woman was married.

Aunt Hua is Mr. Lin’s concubine and has two children. Would she do such a thing?

Yun Chu was confused, she didn't know whether to continue investigating.

Even if she wanted to check, she didn't know how to do it. She couldn't wait at Aunt Hua's door in the middle of the night. That wasn't realistic.

Besides, she was not a maid in Aunt Hua's courtyard, so even if she wanted to wait at the door, she couldn't do that.

She was able to come in this time because she was delivering mung bean soup, but Aunt Hua might not let her in next time.

Thinking of this, Yun Chu couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. At least now my personal mission is completed.

"Thank you both very much. I will keep this matter to myself and pretend I know nothing about it."

Yun Chu herself would not go out and say anything. She is not the kind of person who likes to gossip.

Moreover, she believed that the two maids would not say anything nonsense. If Aunt Hua really did something like that, it would not be a good thing for them, the servants.

Once Master Lin finds out, they, the servants, will be the first to bear the brunt. They will either be sold or assigned to other farms. In any case, their lives will be ruined.

After returning to the kitchen, the time had come to 4:45 in the afternoon, and there were still fifteen minutes left to complete the task.

Although it was a little cooler in the evening, Yun Chu was sweating from serving soup and walking.

She picked up the ladle on the stove, scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and drank it all in one gulp. She felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

As soon as I sat down, I saw the system panel pop up automatically.

[Player ID: 123444 personal task completed]

Yun Chu discovered that the words "Task Completed" appeared after the two tasks.

Then, the words [View Personal Rules] popped up on the page.

Yun Chu nodded without any hesitation.

【Personal rules】

[You are a first-class maidservant beside the eldest lady. You have more face than the lower-class maidservants. You don't have to do rough work. You just need to obey the lady's arrangements.

Please note that you must always keep the lady's secrets, otherwise, the lady can replace her with a first-class maid at any time. 】

Yun Chu quickly scanned her personal rules and couldn't help but feel confused.

She wants to keep the lady's secret. What secret could the lady have?
