48 -48: Be a Servant for a Year

Lin Xinlan achieved the desired effect, and the servants were much kinder to her.

She didn’t need them to treat her as their master, nor did she require them to be utterly respectful towards her.

What she wanted was just the minimum level of respect.

With the servants being polite to her, Lin Xinlan’s life in the villa became less oppressive, and her life became much more relaxed.

Once Mr.

and Mrs.

Du had nursed their wounds, they discussed how to discipline Lin Xinlan.

In their eyes, Lin Xinlan was nothing but a lowly woman.

How dare she harm them, and how could they easily forgive her?

Upon learning of their arrival, Lin Xinlan was not afraid.

Let them come; she would no longer fear them nor allow them to lay a finger on her again.

Every time she saw the outrageous demeanor of Mr.

and Mrs.

Du, Lin Xinlan couldn’t help but speculate what kind of woman Du Ruoxin was.

Given her parents’ barbaric cunning, would she have inherited some of their temperament?

The two sat down on the sofa, looking at Lin Xinlan commandingly.

Mrs.

Du curved her lips in a smile and slapped a document on the table.

“This is the indemnity document.

It includes medical expenses, lost wages, living expenses, and compensation for emotional distress, totalling one million.

Now, give us the money immediately and compensate us for our losses!”

One million, quite an exorbitant demand.

Lin Xinlan glanced casually at the document and smiled, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the money.”

Mrs.

Du was waiting for just that response, “No money?

That’s fine, you can come to my house and work as a maid for a year to offset the debt.

If you refuse, I’ll take you to court and ruin your reputation!”

“Mrs.

Du, I think you’re mistaken.

If you take me to court, the one whose reputation will be ruined isn’t me, but rather Rong Shaoze.

Although I’m just an ordinary citizen, my status is that of his wife.

If I’m taken to court, Rong Shaoze’s reputation won’t be very pleasant either.”

Mrs.

Du’s face immediately changed color, and she retorted in a shrill voice, “You’re just a substitute!

You actually think you’re Shaoze’s wife?

Let me tell you, my daughter is his real wife!”

Lin Xinlan smiled faintly, feeling that it was necessary to remind them.

“Mrs.

Du, although I am a substitute, the law only recognizes me as Rong Shaoze’s wife.

This is an unalterable fact, and indeed, I have married him.”

“Cheap, woman!” Mrs.

Du instantly flared up, standing abruptly and pointing at her, she furiously said, “I knew it, you’re up to no good.

Tell me, was it premeditated from the start?

Did you deliberately hit my daughter just to get close to Shaoze?!

I tell you, as soon as my daughter wakes up, you will be nothing.

Your arrogant days are numbered!”

“Hmm, you’re correct.

However, all of that will have to wait until your daughter wakes up.”

“Mrs.

Du, if you truly hate me, you might as well wait for your daughter to claim the position of the Rong family’s Young Madam before coming to discipline me, instead of bothering me every now and then like nowadays.

First, with my status out there, are you not afraid of angering Shaoze by constantly troubling me?

Second, with the way you behave, Shaoze might wonder if your daughter is the same.

Mrs.

Du, your every word and action could potentially affect your daughter’s future happiness.”

“You…” Mrs.

Du was livid with anger, but then she scoffed smugly, “You think by saying this I won’t dare to touch you?”

“Lin Xinlan, you’re mistaken!

The person Shaoze likes is my Ruoxin; he’ll never fall for you, the woman who hurt Ruoxin.

Also, even if we killed you, Shaoze wouldn’t say a word against us.
