Chapter 5: Chapter 5 You Are Born to Be a Maid Chapter 5: Chapter 5 You Are Born to Be a Maid She hailed a cab and returned ho.
The suddenly appearing fiancé was already forgotten in the back of her mind, as Lin Chuyi now only wanted to find Lin Yueqin and clear her na of the charges against her.
But there was no trace of Lin Yueqin at ho.
Lin Chuyi left the house and went straight to the Wen Family mansion.
The second and third floors of the mansion were dimd, with only the lights on the first floor still on, indicating that the mansion’s owner had likely gone to rest, and only the servants were still busy.
Lin Chuyi headed to the kitchen, and just as she reached the doorway, she overheard soone inside saying, “Yueqin, you really have the best luck, Miss Nianyou likes you the most. She always gives you the lightest work, the most bonuses. Did she secretly give you another bonus today?”
“There’s no secret bonus for , you’re overthinking it. But it’s true that Youyou treats especially well, after all, right after she was born, Madam had a serious lack of breast milk and Youyou grew up drinking mine, naturally our bond is different.”
“That’s why I say you’re lucky. You happened to have a child around the sa ti as Madam, and were able to help her out greatly. Miss Nianyou refused formula back then and only accepted your breast milk, you fed her until she was plump and healthy, Madam has been very grateful to you all these years!”
“Oh, Madam has always been very kind to , and I’m soone who really knows how to be grateful. Helping her out is the least I can do! Back then, I only had enough breast milk for one child, and because I gave it all to Youyou, I never even breastfed my own child for a single day. Now tell , isn’t that a great sacrifice?”
“Yes, it’s a huge sacrifice. Even though Madam rewarded you handsoly, only you would starve your own daughter. I couldn’t do it. I’d rather not have the money than withhold milk from my own child.”
Lin Chuyi had heard this kind of conversation before, after all, Lin Yueqin had always taken pride in being Wen Nianyou’s wet nurse, portraying herself as soone who would sacrifice anything for Wen Nianyou. Her “sacrifice” story had long been spread throughout the Wen family.
She stepped into the kitchen and looked coldly at Lin Yueqin, “You did indeed make a big sacrifice, so big that you’re willing to sacrifice to take the bla for Wen Nianyou’s murder charge.”
Lin Yueqin’s face changed drastically, and she quickly pulled Lin Chuyi outside, “Nonsense, Lin Chuyi, mind your words! This isn’t the place for you to cause a scene!”
Outside, Lin Chuyi shook off her hand, “Where is Wen Nianyou? Call her out here.”
“Youyou went out with friends, she’s not back yet.”
Lin Chuyi laughed out of anger, “She just killed soone with her car and she still has the mood to hang out? Of course, with a wonderful mother like you, who lets her own daughter take the fall for her, she doesn’t have a worry in the world.”
Lin Yueqin’s expression shifted uncertainly for a while before finally settling on a piteous one, “Xiaoyi, Mom doesn’t love you any less, it’s just that I had no choice but to ask you to take the bla for Youyou.”
Lin Chuyi said sarcastically, “Cut the act, you don’t love at all. If you truly cared about , it would be impossible for you to let take the murder bla for Wen Nianyou.”
“Don’t be hasty, hear out. Madam doesn’t know about Youyou hitting soone yet. She nearly lost her life giving birth to Youyou and hasn’t fully recovered since. She treasures Youyou like the apple of her eye. If Youyou goes to prison, how could she possibly live?”
Lin Yueqin pleaded earnestly, “It’s better for you to go to prison than for Youyou. Youyou, having been pampered from birth, can’t endure such hardship. Besides, if she goes to prison, wouldn’t that ruin her whole life?”
“So, my life wouldn’t be ruined if I go to prison? Am I supposed to be willing to suffer in jail?”
“It’s not the sa, Youyou has the life of a young Miss, with a bright and beautiful future ahead of her, while you are servant-born, destined to serve others. Going to jail spares you from serving, it’s actually a blessing for you.”
