Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Maternal Aunt Lin (2)_1

Lin Yuan sneered at the coordinated performance between the master and servant, saying, "Mother Li, what you said isn’t entirely correct. In fact, our family had already severed ties with them even before Lin Siyu entered the Li Mansion. Isn’t Mother Li’s niece my former third aunt? Didn’t she tell you?"

Mother Li was momentarily choked by her words and coughed, "Oh, yes, there’s already no relation."

Lady Jin glanced at Mother Li, who gave a sheepish smile and very consciously stepped aside.

While they were talking, the curtain at the doorway was lifted, and the first to enter was Lin Siyu, her hands cradling a brazier and dressed in the thickest clothing. Although the coldest season had not yet arrived, she was already wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but ridicule inwardly. Back when she was at the Lin family hollow, let alone in this kind of weather, even when heavy snow had frozen the ground three feet deep, Lin Siyu never wore clothes this thick, nor did she affect such airs, carrying a brazier everywhere she went.

Following Lin Siyu was a gentle-looking woman dressed in light purple, who, compared to Lin Siyu’s arrogance, appeared much softer.

Lin Yuan glanced at the woman and felt all she saw was worry in her expression. Those tightly knitted brows seemed etched on her face, as if they could never be smoothed out.

This was a woman with a story, one who stirred sympathy. That was Lin Yuan’s first impression of Mrs. Liu.

When Lin Yuan’s gaze moved away from Mrs. Liu, it fixed intently on the maid following behind her. Wasn’t that Ying Tao, the maid she had seen that day, entangled with Shen Dajun? So, she was Maternal Aunt Liu’s maid!

But then, remembering what Panpan had said about Shen Dajun being the older brother of a friend, Lin Yuan was puzzled. Could Panpan and Ying Tao be good friends? She could clearly sense that there was animosity between Lin Siyu and Maternal Aunt Liu, and it was significant!

As soon as Lin Siyu entered, she let out a laugh like silver bells, "Madam, I heard you had visitors. Oh dear, what bad timing we have. If we’d known there were guests, we would’ve come a little later."

While Lin Siyu spoke, her eyes started to drift towards Lin Yuan, and when she saw clearly who it was, her previously smiling eyes froze. How could it be her!

Lin Yuan thoroughly enjoyed watching Lin Siyu’s marvelous change of expression, then, as if nothing had happened, she quietly sat in her chair, showing no intention of acknowledging her presence.

Lady Jin also noticed the sudden change in Lin Siyu’s expression. Although initially displeased with her unruly laughter upon entering, seeing her discomfort now brought her a surge of satisfaction.

In fact, Mother Li had already informed her about the issues between Lin Siyu and Lin Yuan. She knew that this seemingly insignificant maid was especially unpopular back in the Lin family hollow and even bore the ill fame of being Little Disaster Star. The villagers, let alone relatives like Lin Siyu’s family, had little regard for her. However, she hadn’t expected that now the young lady, by her own efforts, had opened shops and built houses; even an outsider like her could guess what Lin Siyu’s family was thinking.

Maternal Aunt Liu did not recognize Lin Yuan and had no dramatic reaction like Lin Siyu. Upon entering, she simply knelt on the ground and performed her due respects, "Maternal Aunt Liu pays her respects to Madam."

Lady Jin watched Maternal Aunt Liu’s submissive demeanor and then looked at Lin Siyu, whom she had personally welcomed into the mansion. She felt a surge of frustration that she could neither swallow nor spit out. If only she had known that Maternal Aunt Liu was nothing like the capricious and stubborn Little Concubine she had imagined her to be, she would never have been so gullible as to bring the troublesome Lin Siyu into the mansion.
