Chapter 264 - 255 Not Easily Obtained_1
Zhao Lingxiang now prided herself on her status, so she was not willing to deal with just anyone. Therefore, she disdained the eagerly approaching Chunxi and had no intention of engaging with her. She had the servant drive the carriage away, telling him to pay her no mind.
"Wait, wait, Aunt Zhao, I have something to tell you. I know a lot about Zhao Erhu’s family matters, and I can tell you if you want to know," Chunxi originally wanted to keep some leverage for herself, but seeing Zhao Lingxiang’s attitude, she couldn’t care less and hurried after the carriage, shouting loudly. Sure enough, Zhao Lingxiang had the carriage stop upon hearing her words.
"Aunt Zhao, do you think what that woman said is true? Judging from her shabby and desperate appearance, how could she know the affairs of your brother’s family, especially such secret matters? She wouldn’t be deceiving us, would she?" Xiaocui sized up Chunxi with disdain.
"We have no other choice right now. Whether she’s telling the truth or lying, let’s just hear what she has to say. If she really knows something, it would be a great help to me. If she doesn’t, it’s just a waste of time. Anyway, we’re not in a hurry," Zhao Lingxiang actually hoped that what the woman said was true. That way, she wouldn’t have to work so hard to ingratiate herself with Zhao Erhu and his wife again, which was indeed a very frustrating matter.
"Hey, you there, come here. My master is allowing you to come forward and speak," Xiaocui, an arrogant maid, told Chunxi in a haughty tone. Chunxi quickly walked over, eager to please.
Zhao Lingxiang waited for Chunxi to come closer, then slowly began, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with Zhao Erhu’s family? Why did you stop me? What do you want to do?"
"Responding to Aunt Zhao, my name is Chunxi, and I am from Zhao Jingui’s household. I used to work for Zhao Erhu, and I got along quite well with his wife, Lin Yue. Unexpectedly, Lin Yue showed her true colors, vicious despite her kind face. Seeing that Zhao Erhu took a liking to me, she grew jealous and set me up several times, ruining my reputation. Thinking that Aunt Zhao might not know what kind of person Lin Yue is and that you might have been deceived by her, I specifically came to tell you," Chunxi replied.
Chunxi considered herself rather clever. Sensing that Zhao Lingxiang and Lin Yue did not get along, she deliberately said such words. She truly resented Lin Yue in her heart and intended to damage Lin Yue’s reputation. Furthermore, she aimed to align herself with Zhao Lingxiang, who appeared visibly annoyed upon leaving Zhao Erhu’s house earlier.
