Chapter 20: Treason and Abuse of Power

oed through the air, as if someone was weeping. 。Lin Jin's eyes brimmed with tears as he silently gazed at the photograph of Liu Fengqing from her youth on the tombstone. He raised his hand, tremblin...Lin's footsteps faltered.

A sweet voice chimed in, “Xiao Yu, don’t say any more.”

"I was right, wasn't I Why can't I say it" Xiaoyu stared at Lin Jinyan's back, still saying dismissively.

Lin Jin's fair fingers clenched tightly.

Xiao Yu's sharp voice still hadn't stopped behind her. "I heard the housekeeper say that the young master had the housekeeper arrange for her to live in the servants' quarters and give her work. Wanting to be the young mistress of the Fu family Just a daydream."

A surge of anger welled up inside Lin Jinran, impossible to suppress.

She was kind to everyone in her daily life and had never thought of making enemies. She knew all too well how embarrassing her situation was today.

Just because she doesn't have a bad temper, doesn't mean she won't get angry.

You can allow others to bully you repeatedly.

Lin Jinran turned her body, looking straight at the maid named Xiaoyu. A slight smile curved her cherry lips, and a clear voice flowed out.

"Even if I live in the servant's quarters and work as a maid, my identity is still Fu Manor's young mistress and Fu Mochen's legal wife!"

Xiaoyu hadn't expected to see Lin Jinyan, who looked just like a steamed bun, actually retort. She was taken aback and immediately said, "So what Everyone in the Fu Residence knows that my young master wants to marry Miss Ruochu!"

"I think you still haven't heard me clearly, I am the young mistress of the Fu residence!" Lin Jinyan crossed her arms and glared coldly at the maid named Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu was inexplicably a little timid, but thinking that Lin Jinran wasn't liked by Fu Mo寒 at all, she put on a show just to make a point. She said unwillingly, "It's just now, what about later Who knows!"

Lin Jinran's eyes were cold and clear, "Even if it might be different later on, right now I can still fire you and get you to lose this job!"

< Xiaoyu stiffened, "You dare!" >

Her heart pounded, but she wouldn't lower her head to Lin Jinran.

When the two were at an impasse, another man's voice chimed in, "What are you both standing here for"

The butler walked up to them from afar, looking at them strangely.

Xiaoyu, upon seeing the housekeeper arrive, looked like she had found a pillar of support. The arrogance she had just displayed vanished instantly. She said in a whimpering voice, "Housekeeper, I kindly reminded Miss Lin not to eat trash. Not only was she unaware, but she also reprimanded me. Is that right, Sweetheart"

He glanced intentionally at Sweetheart as he spoke. Sweetheart looked awkwardly at Lin Jinyan, neither saying yes nor no.

Lin Jinran took a deep breath, his clear gaze locked onto the butler, "I never knew 'good intentions' could be interpreted this way. To disregard one's own status and casually accuse someone is truly insubordination, abusing power to oppress the master."

"I don't." Xiaoyu lowered her head, as if she had been deeply wronged.

The butler naturally knew Xiaoyu's personality, she was soft and cowardly, and definitely said something nasty to Lin Jinran. Otherwise, Lin Jinran wouldn't be so angry and accusing now.

But after all, he was the one in charge, and besides, Lin Jinran wasn't welcome at Fu's house. If he made Xiaoyu apologize, it would just be giving Lin Jinran more prestige!

Thinking about it this way, the butler smoothly navigated the situation, saying with a light touch, "Miss Lin, you are magnanimous. Little Yu meant well and had no ill intentions."

Lin Jinyan also saw that the butler was protecting Xiaoyu.

If she can't hold it down today, she will surely be dealt with even worse in the future.

She didn't ask them to call her Mrs. Fu, but she wouldn't allow them to bully her like this with impunity.

Lin Jinran continued to ask coldly, "Butler, are you deciding to protect her"id, “I wasn’t talking; I was singing.”"Hmm." Gu Nanci responded casually, without elaborating further.Su Han insisted, "Don't I sing well""Hmm."Su Han took Gu Nan Ci's words as praise. She hugged Gu N...
