Chapter 224 -224 This is Chuyi’s doing!

Lady Wen was startled, “What happened to your hand? Get up, haven’t I told you not to always kneel? If you have something to say, say it properly, there’s no need for kneeling.”

Yet, Lin Yueqin refused to get up, insisting on kneeling and crying, “Madam, I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you anymore, unable to wash your clothes, cook your meals, or clean your floors. Please just fire me, I’ve become a useless cripple.”

“How could this be? Didn’t you say you were going out to buy groceries? Who injured you? Stop crying, I’ll stand up for you.”

“Thank you, Madam, I always knew you treated me the best.”

Lin Yueqin lifted her arm to wipe away her tears, and with utter despair, said, “This was Ye Chuyi’s doing, all because I was strict with her, not allowing her to be a mistress for men. She knocked me to the ground and stomped on my fingers until they broke! Madam, I barely made it back alive to see you!”

“What?!”

Lady Wen was incredibly shocked, “Chuyi did this? How is that possible!”

“It was truly her, Madam! You don’t know, over the years, she has become more and more defiant. She’d strike me over the slightest disagreement, and I wouldn’t dare to fight back. I was too afraid of losing face to tell you.”

“But… I always thought Chuyi wasn’t that kind of girl. She speaks calmly and does things with proper measure, seemingly a very reliable and stable person!”

“That’s all an act! Ever since she was young, she was always stealing, and never corrected her ways. As she grew up, she refused to follow the right path, always seeking shortcuts and crooked ways. If I ever scolded her, she would beat and kick me. It’s my fault for not being able to discipline her properly.”

Lin Yueqin was dedicated to smearing Ye Chuyi so that even if her identity was exposed in the future, Lady Wen would not take a liking to her.

Lady Wen looked at her hand, bundled up like a zongzi, and her delicate brows furrowed tightly.

The fact that Ye Chuyi was Doctor Anxin was still unknown to others. Lady Wen always felt that someone capable of being such an exceptional doctor wouldn’t be involved in dishonest practices.

Yet, seeing Lin Yueqin’s hand injured like this, the fact was right before her eyes, and she couldn’t help but reconsider her previous judgment of Ye Chuyi.

Lin Yueqin continued her lament, recounting all of Ye Chuyi’s supposed misdeeds, portraying her as utterly worthless.

Finally, she said, “Madam, I temporarily can’t work, how about you hire two other servants to take over, and I could supervise them for you?”

“Alright, then let’s hire two more servants. You don’t need to supervise them. Go home first and take care of your hand before you come back.”

“Madam, I no longer have a home.”

“What do you mean you have no home?”

“The house, Ye Chuyi sold it behind my back.”

“What?! She sold your family’s house?”

“Yes, it was truly her who sold it, and now, because of her, I have nowhere to go. Please allow me to stay here, else I’ll have to wander the streets.”

Lady Wen was stunned for a good while before finally sighing, “Ah, I didn’t expect Chuyi to do such a thing. Then you stay here!”

Lin Yueqin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, “Thank you, Madam. You truly are the kindest person under the heavens. I will never forget your great kindness and generosity!”

“Yueqin, what are you doing? Get up quickly!”

Lin Yueqin stood up, swearing an oath, “From now on, I will repay you doubly. I will take good care of Miss, and for this life, I am willing to work like an ox or horse for Madam, forever loyal to you! When Miss gets married and has children, I will wholeheartedly help her with the children, never letting you or Miss worry.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you. I too am looking forward to helping Youyou with her children! But I’m not sure how Youyou and Qi Yunfan are doing now. The engagement ended in a dispute, and they haven’t reconciled. The wedding might be up in the air.”
