C16 First Meeting

Although Lin Fu Cheng wanted to gain Lin Ruo Yin's trust, he did not expect her to be so agitated. His heart unconsciously felt a trace of guilt.

He subconsciously patted Lin Ruo Yin's shoulder and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Good girl, it's good that you came back. It's good that you came back…"

However, he did not see a trace of emotion in Lin Ruo Yin's lowered eyes.

...

"Miss, they are too much. No matter what, we are in the same house. How can they look down on us and deduct our food?" Lv Yu was an impatient person. When she heard Hong Mei say that the kitchen did not give them food, she immediately became anxious. "Miss, we can't be bullied like this. Let's go find the madame."

"How could the madame have time to care about such a small matter? Lv Yu, if we want to gain a foothold in the Shanhai House, we have to suffer some losses. We should rely on ourselves. Do you understand?" When Lin Ruo Yin heard Lv Yu's words, she glanced at her. Although Lv Yu was still full of grievances, she could not complain.

"Don't worry, we won't starve you." Lin Ruo Yin saw that Lv Yu was still pouting and poked her head, so she said in a bad mood.

This matter was probably not done by the servants. They did not have the guts to do so. It was probably the third wife who had secretly caused trouble.

The madame naturally could not disturb them. The others would not interfere either. Lin Ruo Yin sighed. She had to admit that she was temporarily unable to solve this matter.

She was like a cunning cat in the dark. When she focused her eyes, it was actually Lin Ruo Yin.

Lin Ruo Yin was also helpless at this moment. She had no way to solve the problem in front of her. The only way she could think of was to go to the kitchen to steal food. If the news got out, she would lose her face as a dignified Miss of the Academic Palace. She could only rely on stealing food to feed herself. She was afraid that she would lose her face in the entire Imperial City.

Lin Ruo Yin agilely dodged a few servants who had just changed shifts and approached the kitchen. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a wave of curses.

Lin Ruo Yin frowned. She originally did not want to meddle in other people's business, but she still couldn't help but walk to the source of the noise. She looked over and saw a group of servants beating up a man. She frowned, but she did not plan to help.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Lin Ruo Yin inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man being beaten up. Although he was being beaten up by a group of people, his eyes were still bright. There was a trace of bloodthirst and a look of disdain in his eyes. How could such a pair of eyes appear on a servant in a small kitchen?

"Stop!" As if bewitched by the pair of eyes, Lin Ruo Yin came back to her senses and stood up to stop the servants from beating him up.

"When did the Academic Palace allow the servants to fight?" Lin Ruo Yin saw that since she had already interfered, she could not leave. She might as well see what secret the servant had.

Facing the servants, Lin Ruo Yin naturally did not need to hide anything. When the aura of someone who had once controlled the harem appeared, everyone was stunned.

"Who are you?" A servant suddenly asked. Although Lin Ruo Yin had been in the residence for nearly ten days, not everyone knew her. At this moment, seeing Lin Ruo Yin's powerful aura, they did not dare to say anything and asked tentatively.

Lin Ruo Yin ignored him and walked to the middle of the group. She helped the servant up and only when the two of them were about to disappear from their sight did the group of servants react. They looked at each other, not knowing if they should stop them.

Lin Ruo Yin helped the man walk out of their sight and arrived at a small pavilion in the front courtyard. However, she felt a trace of strength on her shoulder. It was this man who pushed Lin Ruo Yin away.

Lin Ruo Yin saw this scene and thought that he was going to tear down the bridge after crossing the river. However, she saw him sit down directly. His deep but inexplicably magnetic voice gently entered Lin Ruo Yin's ears, "You smell like oil and fire. I'm afraid it will dirty Miss's clothes."

Lin Ruo Yin curled the corner of her mouth when she heard his words. "What's your name? Why do you work in the residence?" Actually, what she wanted to ask was who exactly were you? What was your purpose in coming to the residence?

However, the man raised his head and looked at Lin Ruo Yin. With the help of the light, Lin Ruo Yin could see the man's true appearance. That face was not considered good-looking. It could even be said to be a little ugly.

However, Lin Ruo Yin was a little lost in her eyes, which were as bright as the stars. It was those eyes that made Lin Ruo Yin, who had always been cautious, to be so impulsive.
