Chapter 1253: Chapter 1251: Poisonous Sche
Honglu Temple’s Junior Minister Lin Family?
Wu Lihong couldn’t imdiately recall anything significant about that family. What happened?
Madam Wang’s lips curled coldly, saying, “Doesn’t Minister Lin have an illegitimate daughter?”
Wu Lihong was stunned, and mories of Minister Lin’s situation suddenly flashed in his mind.
It was said that Minister Lin had a childhood sweetheart in his early years, but they separated because her family got into trouble. Later, they reunited, and Minister Lin took her as a concubine, even having a daughter with her.
The concubine later died of a sudden illness. Minister Lin couldn’t bear to part with his daughter, but feared impeachnt by the Imperial Censor, so he brought his daughter ho and treated her like a servant girl, placing her beside his legitimate daughter.
To outsiders, she was a servant girl, but in reality, no different from the young lady. However, this was discovered by political enemies, leading to impeachnt by the Imperial Censor, causing quite a public scandal.
Wu Lihong widened his eyes, asking, “What does Madam an by this?”
Madam Wang nodded, sneeringly saying, “…Let that girl co in as Madam Zhou’s servant. This way, it will both satisfy the master’s affection for his daughter and preserve the reputation of our Wu Family’s girl — killing two birds with one stone!”
Wu Lihong’s eyes brightened, thinking it was a good idea.
Madam Wang continued, “As long as they behave and remain well-behaved, our Wu Family isn’t heartless. They won’t lack food to eat. Though her status isn’t favorable, it’s still considered a reunion, isn’t it?”
Wu Lihong clapped his hands: “Exactly, and in the future, we could prepare a generous dowry for her. Yes, and then I would adopt her as a goddaughter upon marriage, thus granting her so prestige.”
Madam Wang’s eyes sharpened. A goddaughter, did she deserve that?
No rush. If this matter truly ca to fruition, it would be a major humiliation for Madam Zhou. When that little wench really enters the door as a servant, let’s see how pleased they could be!
At that ti, whether she remains a lowly servant or becos a goddaughter, there’s no hurry to decide.
As for the property under that girl’s na, a calculating gleam flickered in Madam Wang’s eyes. She glanced at Wu Lihong but didn’t speak. There was no rush; she would handle it in due ti.
Wu Lihong increasingly found Madam’s words reasonable, feeling much relieved, but recalling the mont Wufu humiliated him, he felt a bit troubled.
Forget it; perhaps that girl harbors so resentnt. More coaxing might work, but where has Madam Zhou gone?
With the matter satisfactorily resolved, Wu Lihong didn’t linger any longer and went out.
Nanny Wei ca in.
“Madam.”
Madam Wang said coldly, “Did you hear everything?”
Nanny Wei said, “Madam’s plan is most fitting. With this, they won’t have much room to maneuver.”
Madam Wang smiled smugly, “To deal with such shaless little wenches, what ans are really needed? Don’t they want to enter my Wu Family’s door? I’d like to see how they plan to face it. Once a servant, always a servant, their life and death under my control.”
Nanny Wei flattered, “Only Madam is so clever, but…”
“What?”
“Madam, the fear is that they might not be willing. That Madam Zhou’s temperant is unknown, but that girl, she has quite a fierce disposition. Didn’t you see today that even the master was blocked there?” Nanny Wei hesitantly said, “Moreover, it’s said that the girl is the one calling the shots at that ho.”
Madam Wang’s brows furrowed and then relaxed. She said, “Not willing? Then don’t let them in, let them remain a child from concubinage all their lives. What loss is it to us? If they want to co in, they must follow my terms. Otherwise, no one steps through this door.”
“Yes, yes.” Nanny Wei, seeing her confidence, felt a slight nagging worry. Madam seed overly optimistic!
