He pursed his lips and thought for a long time.
With his favor, Bai Xinrong has already established authority in the family, but Lin Zhiyu has a soft temper. If she doesn't express herself, she will be bullied miserably.
"Let Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Bai handle it together."
After hearing this, the housekeeper looked up at him in surprise, and then quickly lowered his head.
"Old slave, go and give the orders now."
Although he was very surprised that He Xuchen could still think about Lin Zhiyu this time, there were obviously some things that he, a servant, could not interfere with.
It didn't take long for Bai Xinrong to hear the news, and she could no longer hide the viciousness on her face.
She wanted to let Lin Zhiyu go, but she decided to seduce He Xuchen.
If this is the case, then she will never be able to appear in front of He Xuchen in the future!
As the knock on the door rang outside, Bai Xinrong's expression quickly returned to normal.
"Please come in."
"Madam, this is the account book for this month. Please take a look at it."
"Put it somewhere, I'll take a look at it later."
The maid placed the account book on the table and exited.
Bai Xinrong looked at the account book and snorted coldly.
So what if you can seduce? She is still in charge of the family now!
He Xuchen came back a little late at night. He wanted to move more gently to avoid waking up Bai Xinrong, but he didn't expect that she was still awake at this point.
"Rong'er, why aren't you asleep yet?" He was a little surprised.
"Brother Shen, I see that you have been very busy recently, so I asked the maid to make a soup. It just so happens that you are back now. You can drink the soup when it is ready."
"You can just tell them to do this kind of thing and rest early."
Bai Xinrong glanced at him shyly.
"Brother Shen, the old lady told me about the child today..."
He Xuchen understood immediately.
His father died early, and his mother and the old lady worked hard to bring him up.
Nowadays, the He family is sparsely populated, so it is no wonder that they are thinking about their children.
"Be good, don't worry about the child, your body is more important."
Bai Xinrong, who thought He Xuchen would not refuse, stiffened when she heard this.
Then he smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to Brother Shen."
He Xuchen liked well-behaved people, so she tried her best to pretend to be well-behaved in front of him. After so many years, she finally occupied his heart. Now she must not ruin her hard work over the years just because of Lin Zhiyu.
"You should rest first. I'll drink the soup later."
"Okay, Brother Shen, remember to rest early."
He Xuchen nodded and then went out.
When he walked out the door, Bai Xinrong's expression immediately darkened.
"Yuzhu, follow him and see where he went."
The maid whose name was called by Bai Xinrong turned pale when she heard this. She would not dare to follow the master!
"Madam..."
She wanted to plead for mercy, but Bai Xinrong slapped her, and half of Yuzhu's face immediately swelled up.
"Go if my wife asks you to! Do you still want this month's money?"
Looking at the stern Bai Xinrong, Yuzhu held back his tears.
"Yes, ma'am."
—
He Xuchen left Bai Xinrong's yard. He wanted to go to the kitchen to get soup, but on second thought, he turned around and went to Lin Zhiyu's yard.
The night was very dark, and there was no candlelight in the garden, so he did not notice Yuzhu who was following behind him on tiptoe.
Because there were few people in the courtyard, Chunhong helped Lin Zhiyu pack up early and closed the courtyard door.
When I heard someone knocking on the door outside, I thought it was some maid coming over.
As soon as he opened the door, he was shocked to see He Xuchen's face.
"Uncle."
"Well, she slept?"
She was naturally referring to Lin Zhiyu.
Chunhong shook her head, "Miss is reading."
Originally, she should have followed everyone and called her Madam, but it turned out that Lin Zhiyu thought Madam was too unpleasant, so he asked her to still call her Miss like when she was not married.
He Xuchen didn't mind either.
It's just a title.
He walked to Lin Zhiyu's door. The woman at the table was wearing a coat and reading seriously.
He Xuchen suddenly discovered that her profile was not as clear-cut as Bai Xinrong's, with a hint of aggression, but was very soft, and she felt very well-behaved.
After all, Bai Xinrong had been in a foreign country for a long time, and some things emanated from her bones, such as Lin Zhiyu's bookishness, which she couldn't learn.
"looking at what?"
Lin Zhiyu was caught off guard and startled her, "Husband, why are you here?"
She hurriedly stood up and saluted, and the coat she was wearing fell to the ground, revealing a very thin figure, as if it would be blown away by the wind.
Her clothes fell off, and the sudden cold made her shiver.
He Xuchen bent down to pick up the coat from the ground and put it on her.
"I'm not a wolf, why are you so afraid of me?"
I'm scared like this every time I see him, right
Lin Zhiyu shook his head violently, "No, it's because... you are very imposing."
She glanced at He Xuchen cautiously, her little face turning red under the candlelight.
The cautious look on his face made He Xuchen's heart skip a beat.
He smiled and said, "You don't have to be so afraid of me. I am your husband and we are a family."
Is it a family...
Lin Zhiyu even felt a little ironic after listening to his words.
The original owner did not change the names of her family members in her previous life, but she got it easily.
He Xuchen's favor was too cheap.
She even felt worthless for the original owner.
The same face, but showing another personality, gained favor.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still looked flattered on his face.
"Thank you, husband."
She gathered her coat and lowered her head.
"By the way, you and Ronger will be responsible for organizing the old lady's birthday this time."
"Ah?" Lin Zhiyu raised his head in a daze, seemingly unable to react.
"Didn't anyone tell you?"
Lin Zhiyu shook his head.
"Get ready. If you don't know how, you can ask Ronger to teach you."
However, He Xuchen felt that she should not be able to do this.
After all, she is the most favored eldest daughter of the Lin family. If she can't even do this kind of thing, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the Lin family
On the other side, Yuzhu told Bai Xinrong that he saw He Xuchen going to Lin Zhiyu's courtyard.
Bai Xinrong almost crushed the porcelain cup in her hand after hearing this.
She knew it! Lin Zhiyu, this bitch!
Dare you steal someone from her
Yuzhu knelt on the ground, his body shaking wildly.
She came in with Bai Xinrong. Before that, she had served Bai Xinrong for more than five years, and she knew her temperament very well.
Such generosity, gentleness, and patience with others are all fake.
The real Bai Xinrong was not only jealous, but also very ruthless. She treated her servants worse than dogs, beating and scolding them at every turn.
Now she only hopes that Bai Xinrong will not vent his anger on Lin Zhiyu on her.
"Okay, go down." Bai Xinrong took a deep breath, not hiding the viciousness in her eyes.
She glanced at Yuzhu's still red and swollen cheeks and squinted her eyes, "As for this spot on your face... do you understand?"
Yuzhu nodded, "I thought I didn't take good care of my wife, so I beat her myself."
"Well, go ahead."
Bai Xinrong waved her hand, as if she was driving away something unclean.
