Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 124 Madam, This Is Not Fair

"Hey, why are you sweating so much? Didn't you say you were fine just now? Why is your face turning red and white? Are you sick?" Lin Yuxi asked with concern. Meijing was frightened and quickly waved her hands to say that she was fine.

She nodded and said, "Since you have nothing to do, then answer my question. Who is more generous, the first wife or the second wife?"

"I don't understand what the young madam means." Mei Jing gritted her teeth and her expression began to shrink.

"You don't understand or you don't say it. You know it in your heart. Do you need me to find Qiao'er to confront you?"

Lin Yuxi narrowed her eyes dangerously and continued, "You are also very smart and know how to divert attention. I don't blame you for selling the cotton medicine bag to the second wife's maid this time. If you leak the news of Tingyuxuan to others next time, I will never let you down."

Mei Jing was not happy about being convicted, and she bravely fought back: "Madam, you said I leaked the information, do you have any evidence? So many people in our garden received cotton medicine bags, why do you insist that it was me? Maybe someone else framed me."

Meijing still refused to admit it, so Lin Yuxi asked Cuiping to call Qiao'er up to confront her. There were records of how many medicine packs each person received, and she asked Hongmian to sort out the dates of everyone in the garden and compare them one by one.

Meijing had gone away ten days ago. That day, she asked Qiao'er for a piece and then sold it to the second wife's maid.

"I admit that I gave the medicine bag to Meilan, but that doesn't mean I leaked the information!" Meijing still refused to speak.

Denying it, Lin Yuxi stopped arguing with her about it and changed the subject.

"Do you know what this is called? It's called ice cream."

She changed the subject so quickly that Meijing could hardly keep up. She looked in the direction she pointed. It turned out that this was what they had made after being locked up for an entire morning.

Lin Yuxi took in her expression and said, "The only people who know about this thing now are the people in this room. If any news gets out this time, who will I suspect first?"

Lin Yuxi's words were very clear. Yang Chenchuan and Mo Yan wouldn't tell anyone, and they certainly wouldn't tell anyone about the young lady's dowry. So she was the only one left. Mei Jing was stunned again.

"Whether you told Mei'er or not, it is a fact that you resold Tingyuxuan's things. I will let you go for now because you have done a great job in taking care of the young master. No matter what news gets out in the future, you will be the first person I look for."

She still had to keep the dairy products secret for the time being. If it got out now, when the shop opened, the first person that would be implicated would be her, Lin Yuxi.

"Madam, this is unfair to me. Master, please speak a fair word for me."

Mei Jing knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Chenchuan. Today, the young mistress had been locked in the kitchen for the whole morning, and everyone in the garden knew about it. How could a maid like her control so many people's mouths? And from what the young mistress said, no matter what news spread out of the garden in the future, no matter if she said it or not, she would be held accountable. This was unfair. The young mistress's words were undoubtedly pushing her into the fire pit.

“What are you begging for? The young lady is the mistress of this garden. If you do something wrong, can't you be punished?” Yang Chenchuan snorted coldly.

The beauty is speechless.

Lin Yuxi waved her hand impatiently and asked her to leave. She also told Cuizhu to pass down the order that from now on, no one in the garden should accept any reward money, let alone leak the news of the garden to the outside world. Once discovered, they should be sold directly. If the work is done well, the monthly salary will be doubled.

This is a new rule established by Lin Yuxi. When this rule came out, many people's eyes turned red with anxiety. Some smiled faintly, while others were full of expectations, at least they had some hope.

Meijing and Lin Mama were caught by Cuiping, but they had no solid evidence. It was a rule that servants from each courtyard could not talk to each other and make friends. Meijing was just giving a small warning. Even if she didn't admit it, Lin Yuxi couldn't do anything to her. Maybe she really didn't reveal any information, but it was a fact that she took the other party's reward money. There was no telling how many people had made secret transactions without being discovered.

Although the ban on accepting rewards cannot completely stop the spread of news, it has at least played a certain role. We will wait and see.

After explaining everything, Lin Yuxi asked Mo Yan to taste her new dessert. Fortunately, she had put ice cubes in the freezer beforehand, otherwise it would have melted by now.

On the other end, when Yang Chenchuan heard Lin Yuxi let Mo Yan taste her cooking, his face darkened. His dark eyes slanted at Mo Yan, who shuddered and retracted his outstretched hand. He smiled awkwardly twice and then flashed out without a trace.

Lin Yuxi glared at him. "You can't eat too much at one time, or you'll get a stomachache, you stingy guy. Let go, I'll take it to mom to try so she can give me some advice."

There was a flame in Yang Chenchuan's eyes. She was his wife, his woman, and she even let other men taste the food she cooked. No other man could tolerate this, so she started to scold him instead.

I really want to spank her so that she will remember that I am her husband and her god.

Coincidentally, there was no one else in the Second Madam's room today. After Lin Yuxi paid her respects to the Second Madam, she took the food box from Lu Yun's hand and brought out the food one by one.

"Mom, this is the dessert Yuxi made. Try it and see if it tastes good."

The second wife smiled gently, "It's hard for you to miss mother."

As he spoke, he scooped a mouthful of frozen yogurt and put it in his mouth. He took two more bites before saying, "It's really good. It's much better to put it in ice cubes than to use cold water. This is milk, sour and sweet, very delicious."

Lin Yuxi laughed happily after hearing this, and handed over the ice cream snowball, saying: "If you like it, Yuxi will make it for you every day, but you can't eat too much at one time, it's not good for your stomach to be frozen, it's not worth it. But you can drink more yogurt, Yuxi will ferment the milk and send it to you later."

"You are the only one who has so many tricks." The second wife looked at Lin Yuxi and was very satisfied. She had indeed made the right choice in choosing this daughter-in-law.

Lin Yuxi stuck out her tongue, and her playful look made the Second Madam laugh again.

As the two were talking, the Second Lady quickly ate her food. Just as she finished, a maid came to report that the Second Madam had arrived, and the Second Lady agreed.

The second wife was all smiles when she entered the room. She glanced at the empty bowls on the table and curled her lips in disdain, but still smiled and said, "I heard earlier that Chen Chuan's wife is very skilled in business, and now her cooking skills are also extraordinary. The second sister-in-law has chosen a capable wife. There are not many ladies in the family who can do both well."

Lin Yuxi couldn't help rolling her eyes after hearing this. How many ladies from wealthy families could cook? It was good enough if they could distinguish between oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. She was obviously mocking her for coming from a poor family and being in the limelight. She could only show off her cooking and business skills, so she was not worthy of being called a lady from wealthy family.

Smiling, she replied, "Yuxi's poor skills are not as good as those of the ladies from wealthy families. I heard that Second Aunt is a good housekeeper, so I guess her cooking skills are also amazing. Yuxi will definitely go and ask for advice later. I hope Second Aunt will be generous with her advice."

Lin Yuxi's response was very good. If the second wife could do it, she was most likely from a poor family. If she couldn't, she wouldn't be the best among the ladies in the upper class. She was just an average one. What right did she have to criticize others?
