Chapter 581: Chapter 581 Chen Zhu or Chen Shimei (3)_1

"You’re talking about the girl next door just now?" Seeing Chen Shimei nod, Wang Qiaoxin felt a wave of irritation. She had just observed Chen Shimei looking at that little maid with a strange expression, and now, hearing him talk about it, she was even more certain that there was something between them in the past.

The more she thought about it, the more Wang Qiaoxin felt disgruntled. Her temperament as the young lady of the house surged forth, and she didn’t care what their past was; as long as it was hers, she would not allow anyone else to lay a finger on it.

"Lv Liu, go next door and get those two taels of silver back," Wang Qiaoxin’s slender fingers moved on the table, "Two taels of silver is a small matter, but it’s a serious issue for the master and madam to have suffered. You know what to do, right?"

Lv Liu had been with Wang Qiaoxin for many years and understood perfectly. She smiled, responded immediately, and set out, swaying her hips as she left.

"Hey, wait, it’s just two taels of silver, there’s no need for this," Chen Shimei blurted out, regretting it as soon as he spoke. Seeing Wang Qiaoxin take his words seriously, he felt even more remorse, his guts turning green with regret. How could he have expected that Wang Qiaoxin would go trouble Lin Yuan over a measly two taels of silver? Fortunately, he had originally intended to say ten taels but changed it at the last moment. If he had mentioned ten taels of silver, wouldn’t Wang Qiaoxin have torn Lin Yuan to pieces?

"Shimei, you’re just too kind-hearted. This isn’t about two taels of silver. Besides, do I, Wang Qiaoxin, lack those two taels of silver? It’s just that I can’t swallow this insult," she said.

Wang Qiaoxin reassured him softly but grew even more annoyed with Lin Yuan internally. Look how worried she’s made him—all over retrieving silver, not about troubling that maid. And talking about neighbors, it surely wasn’t that simple.

Chen Shimei wanted to say something more, but Old man Chen suddenly interrupted, "So you actually gave that maid two taels of silver? Good, good, and she even kept it a secret from me! Hmph, what an ungrateful wretch! Taking silver and not performing work, she should indeed be confronted!"

After finishing, he turned and started scolding Aunt Chen, "I told you that Little Disaster Star was up to no good! You wouldn’t believe me, but do you believe it now? Her kindness to you was all for show. If it weren’t for Zhu Zi’s two taels of silver, she wouldn’t care less about us old ones!"

Aunt Chen opened her mouth to say something, but looking at her son and the rest, she ultimately held her tongue.

Chen Shimei’s ears perked up, listening to the commotion nearby, realizing he was too late to stop it.

Lin Yuan was chatting with Lan Hua in the kitchen, when suddenly they heard a commotion outside. When they went out, they saw a maid dressed pompously standing at their doorstep, shouting loudly, "Who is Lin Yuan? Let her come out; this young lady has something to discuss with her!"

This little maid was known to Lin Yuan; wasn’t she the same one that Chen Shimei had brought home earlier? Why wasn’t she staying quietly at Chen Shimei’s house and instead came here to show off her authority?

"I am Lin Yuan, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Yuan walked out with a smile brimming on her face.

Of course, Lv Liu knew she was Lin Yuan; she had deliberately called out like that to intimidate her. However, it seemed that intimidations and the like were entirely ineffective. Look at how brightly she was smiling—as if she hadn’t done anything wrong at all! Hmph, such a shameless woman dared to compete with her young lady for a man, truly thick-skinned!

"You’re Lin Yuan?" Lv Liu scanned her with a corner of her eye, raising her chin with a huff, "You sure act the part well, don’t you have any shame for what you’ve done?"

Since there were many onlookers around, Lv Liu deliberately spoke very loudly, intending to embarrass Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was puzzled. Wrongdoings? Had she done any? Well, maybe, but she certainly hadn’t done anything to this maid she had never met.
