She chose to fabricate such a background after some thought.
He has no power, cannot speak, and is still a newcomer.
If Mrs. Duan wants to do something in the Zhao family, she will most likely choose someone like her who is easy to control and deal with.
From the moment she was transferred to guard the mourning hall, she knew that she had fallen into Madam Duan's eyes.
Now it seems that it is indeed correct.
She raised her head timidly, but her face showed an eagerness to sacrifice her life for Mrs. Duan.
Mrs. Duan looked very satisfied, and her smile became a little deeper.
"I know you are a good girl who knows how to repay kindness. In fact, this matter is not difficult."
She whispered something into Lin Mengya's ear...??.
A flash of astonishment quickly flashed across Lin Mengya's eyes, and then she shook her head violently, with a look of fear on her face.
At this moment, Mrs. Duan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"You don't know, although I gave birth to a son for the elder, he has never thought of us mother and son for so many years. Now that my wife has just left, it is really ugly for me to enter the house with the child. If you can get the elder's favor,
, maybe you can help me speak."
Just now, this Mrs. Duan actually asked her to seduce Elder Zhao!
This was in front of the wife's memorial tablet, and she was not afraid of being scratched in the face by his wife when she came back to her senses in the middle of the night.
Seeing that she didn't agree, and that Madam was trying hard to get her, her mouth went dry, and Lin Mengya finally showed a little bit of excitement.
Mrs. Duan sneered in her heart.
She knew that no woman could resist the temptation of money at this time.
But he is also a fool.
"Okay, since you agree, then I will make arrangements."
Mrs. Duan had a happy smile on her face, and even held her hand and called her sister affectionately.
"Good sister, we will be a family from now on. You don't have to be afraid, as long as you listen to me, the elders will definitely accept you."
Lin Mengya felt a little nauseated.
Judging from her age, Elder Zhao can be her father.
This woman is afraid that she really thinks everyone is a fool.
In order to "recharge her batteries", Mrs. Duan generously gave her half a day's leave.
When she returned to the servant's room where she was staying, she saw that all her bedding had been thrown at the door.
She frowned, whose idea was this?
"Hey, the climber is back. He doesn't even take a pee to show off his appearance. He's a cripple and he's still trying to curry favor with his wife!"
This tone is so sour that it turns into lemon essence.
Originally, she didn't pay much attention to this little trick.
Not in the same rank, she was afraid that when she took action, it would be a crushing blow.
Harmful, too hurtful.
Who knew there was People took the initiative to stand up for her.
"What are you doing?"
That girl is the real confidant of Mrs. Duan.
Like her master, she is smart, capable and resourceful.
Within a few days, everyone in the Zhao family was respectful to her.
But no one has ever seen her have a particularly close relationship with anyone.
For a time, they became even more jealous of Lin Mengya.
"Girl, are you okay? Don't pay attention to them. Madam said, we will be sisters from now on. If anything happens, just tell me and I will take care of them."
Lin Mengya hugged the quilt, lowered her head and shook her head. Naturally, she did not notice the contempt in the eyes of the girl named Xu'er.
"Come on, my wife has already arranged a separate place for you. I will take you there right now."
After glaring at the group of people as a warning, Lin Mengya was pulled away by Xu'er.
Along the way, Xuer was almost unabashedly close to her, as if the two were like biological sisters.
It wasn't until they arrived at a small room that was quite spacious that Xu'er then told her, "You can live here from now on. If you are loyal to Madam well from now on, it will not be in vain for Madam to be so good to you."
Lin Mengya nodded quickly, her reddish eyes filled with gratitude.
Xu'er laughed at her for being ignorant, but her attitude was still cordial.
But after she left, Lin Mengya, who had always looked nervous, restrained her pretended nervousness and uneasiness.
This lady is really interesting.
Ming said he was being nice to her, but in fact he wanted to set her up and make her the target of public criticism.
In addition to being moved, she was also targeted by the pink eye disease in the whole house.
In this way, she would have to become more dependent on the other party and be at the mercy of Mrs. Duan.
This thought is definitely several times stronger than that of the old lady and her son.
Fortunately, the room arranged for her by the other party was less crowded and quiet.
She looked around the room.
The bedding and furnishings are all new, and the most eye-catching thing is a fairly exquisite dressing table.
There were several kinds of rouge and gouache on it, and even some jewelry that was not expensive but quite ostentatious.
She casually rummaged through the closet.
There were brand new dresses inside, and the extremely fresh colors were so eye-catching.
She just glanced at it briefly, thinking that Madam really spent a lot of money on this.
But she didn't believe the other party's rhetoric at all.
How could such a scheming woman put her hopes for the future on other women?
she
He curled his lips, feeling that this was really interesting.
While thinking about the other party's intentions, he rubbed his neck.
She has recovered well from her injury recently, but she occasionally has some unspeakable itchiness.
Fortunately, it will pass soon, and it will no longer make her itchy like before. .??.
She tentatively pronounced a few syllables.
Although hoarse and rough, at least it is much better than her never being able to speak again.
After a solid night's sleep, at dawn the next day, the high-pitched sound of a suona could be heard outside.
Lin Mengya woke up due to fright.
Rubbing her racing heart, she secretly swore that if she died in the future, she would never use the suona. She was afraid that she would be frightened to death.
Soon, she remembered that today was the day of "Mrs. Zhao's" funeral.
A strange smile appeared on his lips.
Ahem, if Aunt Fang finds out about this in the future, I don’t know what she will think.
Ordinarily, when the mistress of the mansion goes to funeral, there should be a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the mansion.
But Lin Mengya didn't see any pain on those people's faces.
Some even took the opportunity to curry favor with their future new mistress.
Lin Mengya had no sense of presence to begin with. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Duan's master and servant's manipulation yesterday, she probably wouldn't have attracted anyone's attention at all.
She lowered her head, looked at her toes, and remained silent despite the looks from others.
As time went by, those people also found it boring.
Seeing that no one was watching her, she quietly took a few steps back and hid under the shade of a tree in the backyard.
Although Elder Zhao did not make this fake funeral public, at least everyone in the house took it seriously.
So on this day, the entire Zhao family was empty.
For some thoughtful people, this is a good opportunity.
This morning, she received the news from Elder Zhao.
It was said that Xuer wanted to enter his study last night.
However, the other party reacted too quickly and Elder Zhao did not catch the other party on the spot.
And today, he also deliberately exposed a gap in order to invite you into the urn.
Sure enough, just as the sound of the suona outside had faded away, there was a slender figure sneaking towards Elder Zhao's study.
Lin Mengya's location was very hidden, and with her systematic help, the other party didn't realize there was a living person here at all.
She saw Xu'er looking carefully from side to side, and then like a loach, she slipped into Elder Zhao's study.
The other party acted very cautiously, and the doors and windows were closed tightly, so that she could not see anything inside.
Fortunately, today the house There were not many people and the noise was no longer loud, so she boldly turned up the sensitivity of her hearing.
Soon, she heard Xu'er seeming to be rummaging for something in the study.
But after a while, she heard a crisp "click" sound.
After that, there was a dull sliding sound.
Xu'er seemed to have exclaimed a little, but soon there was no other sound in the study.
The other party didn't come out, which meant that Xu'er might have found the darkroom in the study.
She was in no hurry to follow.
Since Elder Zhao can safely set up this trap, it means that there should be nothing important in it.
About a quarter of an hour later, footsteps sounded again.
Lin Mengya heard the sliding sound again, but Xu'er didn't make any stop and went straight out of the study.
Just as she did before, carefully making sure that no one was around, Xuer quietly left.
But Lin Mengya saw that her expression became very strange.
He looked like he was in disbelief, and then hurried back to the room where Mrs. Duan was.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but wonder what clues Elder Zhao left for Xu'er in the study.
After being busy until night, Lin Mengya had the opportunity to secretly meet Elder Zhao.
As a widower whose wife had just died, Elder Zhao's mental state was somewhat decadent.
Lin Mengya thought he was too involved in the drama.
But in the world, Zhao Yixuan is now full of doubts.
"As we expected, the maid next to Mrs. Duan did enter your study. Moreover, she also discovered the secret room in the study."
But Zhao Yixuan asked her in surprise, "Secret room? What secret room?"
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Didn't you leave a clue on purpose?"
Zhao Yixuan shook his head and casually took out a piece of letter paper with faintly visible ink marks from under a stack of rice paper.
"The clues I left are here, and in order not to make them suspicious, I also spent a lot of effort."
Lin Mengya took the letter and looked at it. The handwriting was not very clear, just like the handwriting showing through on poor quality rice paper.
But my heart suddenly felt even weirder.
"I heard her turn on the switch and then disappear. Don't you know about the darkroom in this study?"
She thought Elder Zhao would deny it.
Unexpectedly, the other party's face darkened, and then he said somewhat depressingly, "Maybe I really don't know."
Lin Mengya knew that he would not joke about this kind of thing, so she immediately started to mention it in her heart.
"This is troublesome. Why don't we also look for the mechanism in the secret room and see what she finds."
