She chose to fabricate such a background after careful consideration.
She had no power, was not good at talking, and was a newcomer.
If Madam Duan wanted to do something in the Zhao Family, she would probably choose someone who was easy to control and deal with.
Since she was transferred to guard the mourning hall, she knew that she was favored by Madam Duan.
Now it seemed that she was right.
She raised her head timidly, but her face showed that she was eager to work for Madam Duan.
Madam Duan was very satisfied and her smile deepened.
"I know you are a good girl who knows how to repay kindness. In fact, it is not difficult."
She whispered something into Lin Mengya's ear.
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then she shook her head violently with a frightened look on her face.
At this time, Madam Duan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"You don't know that although I gave birth to a son for Elder, he has never thought of me and my son for so many years. Now Madam has just passed away. It is really embarrassing for me to bring a child into the house. If you can gain the Elder's favor, you might be able to speak up for me. "
Just now, Madam Duan asked her to seduce Elder Zhao!
This was in front of his legal wife's memorial tablet. She was not afraid that Madam Duan would scratch her face in the middle of the night.
Seeing that Lin Mengya refused, Madam Duan pretended to be pitiful and tempted her. Lin Mengya finally showed a little bit of interest.
Madam Duan sneered in her heart.
She knew that no woman could resist the temptation of money at this time.
But she was also a fool.
"Well, since you agree, I will arrange it."
Mrs. Duan's face was full of a gratified smile. She even took her hand and affectionately called her sister.
"Good sister, we will be a family from now on. Don't be afraid. As long as you listen to me, Elder will definitely accept you. "
Lin Mengya felt a little nauseous.
In terms of age, Elder Zhao was old enough to be her father.
This woman must really think of everyone as a fool.
In order to "conserve energy", Madam Duan generously gave her half a day off.
When she returned to the servant's room, she saw that her bedding was thrown at the door.
She frowned. Whose idea was this?
"Yo, the one who climbed up the high branch is back. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You're a cripple, yet you still want to curry favor with Madam! "
His tone was as sour as lemon essence.
Originally, she didn't care about this little trick at all.
They weren't on the same level. She was afraid that once she made a move, it would be a crushing blow.
This was too hurtful.
Who knew that someone would take the initiative to stand up for her.
"What are you doing?"
That girl was the real confidant of Madam Duan.
Just like her master, she was smart, capable, and resourceful.
In just a few days, everyone in the Zhao Family was respectful to her.
However, no one had ever seen her being particularly close to anyone.
For a moment, they were even more jealous of Lin Mengya.
"Girl, are you okay? Don't mind them. Madam said that we will be sisters from now on. If there's anything, just tell me. I'll take care of them. "
Lin Mengya hugged the quilt and shook her head. Naturally, she did not notice the contempt in Xu 'er's eyes.
"Good morning, Madam.
I've arranged a separate room for you. I'll take you there now. "
Lin Mengya glared at the group of people as a warning and was pulled away by Xu 'er.
Along the way, Xu 'er almost didn't hide her closeness to her at all, as if they were a pair of sisters.
When they arrived at a rather spacious small room, Xu 'er said, "You can live here from now on. From now on, be loyal to Madam. You won't let Madam down for treating you so well."
Lin Mengya nodded quickly. Her slightly red eyes were already full of gratitude.
Xu 'er laughed at her inwardness in her heart, but her attitude was still friendly.
After Xu 'er left, Lin Mengya, who had always looked nervous, put away her pretense of nervousness and uneasiness.
Madam Duan was really interesting.
She said that she was good to her, but in fact, she wanted to frame her and make her the target of everyone.
She was touched, but more importantly, she was targeted by the jealousy of the whole mansion.
In this way, she had to rely on Madam Duan even more and let herself be manipulated by Madam Duan.
This mind was definitely many times better than that of Madam Duan and her son.
Fortunately, the room that Madam Duan arranged for her was quiet and few people.
She looked around the room.
The bedding and furnishings were all new. The most eye-catching thing was an exquisite dressing table.
There were a few kinds of rouge and powder on it, and even some jewelry that was not expensive but was quite ostentatious.
She casually rummaged through the wardrobe.
There was a brand new dress in it, and the extremely fresh color was too eye-catching.
She glanced at it briefly and thought that Madam Duan had really put in a lot of money.
But she didn't believe Madam Duan's words at all.
How could such a scheming woman put her future hope on another woman?
She curled her lips and felt that this matter was really very interesting.
While thinking about Madam Duan's intention, she rubbed her neck.
Recently, her injury had been recovering well, but occasionally there was an unspeakable itch.
Fortunately, it would soon pass, and it would not be like before, which made her itch unbearably.
She tried to make a few syllables.
Although it was hoarse and rough, at least it was much better than not being able to speak again.
She slept soundly for a night. At dawn the next day, the loud sound of suona came from outside.
Lin Mengya was woken up by it.
Rubbing her wildly beating heart, she secretly swore that if she died in the future, she would never use the suona. She was afraid that she would be so scared that she would come back to life.
Soon, she remembered that today was the day of "Madam Zhao's" funeral.
A strange smile appeared on her lips.
Ahem, if this was known by Aunt Fang in the future, she didn't know what she would think.
Normally, when the mistress of the mansion was buried, there should be a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the mansion.
But Lin Mengya didn't see any pain on those people's faces.
Some people even took the opportunity to flatter their future mistress.
Lin Mengya didn't have a sense of existence. If it weren't for Madam Duan and her servant's trick yesterday, she would not have attracted anyone's attention at all.
She lowered her head, looked at her toes, and didn't say a word no matter how others looked at her.
After a long time, those people also felt bored.
Seeing that no one was staring at her, she quietly stepped back a few steps and hid in the shade of a tree in the backyard.
Although Elder Zhao did not announce the fake funeral to the public, at least everyone in the residence treated it as the real thing.
So on this day, the whole Zhao Mansion was empty.
Empty.
To some people, this was a good opportunity.
This morning, she received a message from Elder Zhao.
He said that Xu 'er tried to sneak into his study last night.
But at that time, Xu 'er's reaction was too fast, and Elder Zhao didn't catch her.
Today, he had purposely left an opening so that he could lure them into the trap.
Sure enough, the sound of the suona outside had just faded away when a slender figure sneakily walked in the direction of Elder Zhao's study.
Lin Mengya's position was very well hidden, and with the help of the system, the other party didn't even notice that there was a living person here.
She saw Xu 'er carefully looking around, and then like a loach, she slipped into Elder Zhao's study.
Elder Zhao was very cautious, the doors and windows were tightly shut, so she couldn't see what was going on inside.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in the mansion today, and it wasn't noisy. Only then did she dare to increase the sensitivity of her hearing.
Soon, she heard Xu 'er rummaging in the study, looking for something.
But after a while, she heard a crisp "kacha" sound.
Then, there was a dull sliding sound.
Xu 'er seemed to exclaim, but soon, there was no other sound coming from the study.
Elder Zhao didn't come out, which meant that Xu 'er might have found the dark room in the study.
She didn't rush to follow.
Since Elder Zhao could set up this trap, it meant that there should be nothing important in it.
About a quarter of an hour later, footsteps were heard again.
Lin Mengya heard the sliding sound again, but then Xu 'er didn't stop and went straight out of the study.
As before, Xu 'er carefully made sure that there was no one around, and left quietly.
But Lin Mengya saw that her expression became very strange.
She looked as if she couldn't believe it, and then hurriedly ran back to Madam Duan's room.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but wonder what clues Elder Zhao left for Xu 'er in the study.
Lin Mengya was busy until night, when she finally had the chance to secretly meet up with Elder Zhao.
As a widower who had just lost his wife, Elder Zhao was a little depressed.
Lin Mengya thought that he was too immersed in his role.
But now, Zhao Yixuan was full of doubts.
"As we expected, Madam Duan's maid entered your study. And she also found the secret room in the study. "
But Zhao Yixuan asked her in surprise, "Secret room? What secret room? "
Lin Mengya was stunned and then asked doubtfully, "Didn't you deliberately leave a clue?"
Zhao Yixuan shook his head and casually took out a piece of paper from under a stack of rice paper. The ink on it was faintly discernible.
"The clue I left is here. In order not to arouse their suspicion, I deliberately put in a lot of effort."
Lin Mengya took the paper and looked at it. The handwriting was not very clear, like the handwriting of poor quality Xuan paper.
But she felt even more strange.
"I heard that she opened the mechanism and then disappeared. Don't you know about the secret room in the study?"
She thought that Elder Zhao would deny it.
Unexpectedly, his face darkened, and then he said with some depression, "Maybe I really don't know."
Lin Mengya knew that he wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. Suddenly, she also felt nervous.
"This is troublesome. Why don't we find the mechanism of the secret room and see what she found?"
