Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1403 - 222, Giving advice (19)
Chapter 1403: 222, Giving advice (19)
"But listening to Mo Sanniang’s words," Lin Yuan thought, "the intentions of those people were merely to send their daughters to Meng Liangdong’s bed as concubines."
She tapped her fingers on the table and said, "Will those students still come to school this afternoon? Well then, I will speak to Mr. Meng later. Any student related to those who spread rumors will be expelled. Let them go to another school!"
Mo Sanniang shook her head hastily, "That won’t do. Liang Dong would never agree to deprive the children of their education."
"I agree!" Meng Liangdong, who was entering with food, had a gloomy expression and resolute eyes. "I’ve had this in mind for a while now. I won’t teach children whose parents spout nonsense, and if they come, I won’t hold the class. Hmph, children raised by such parents won’t turn out well anyway. Better not to teach them!"
"However, if they rectify their behavior, they can still come back to school."
Lin Yuan added this thoughtfully. It wasn’t a particularly good decision, but it was the most immediately effective. Meng Liangdong and Mo Sanniang lived near South City School, which was convenient for those children. Additionally, the teacher there was excellent, attracting almost everyone in the city. In these times of high demand, they wouldn’t withdraw from school.
To stay enrolled, they would need to keep their mouths shut and behave. Meng Liangdong’s resolute attitude, along with Lin Yuan’s discreetly spreading beneficial rumors about them, meant this issue would pass.
Of course, if someone still didn’t recognize their limits and tried to ruin Mo Sanniang’s reputation to push their daughter on Meng Liangdong, she wouldn’t mind deploying more tactics to ruin that girl’s reputation. After all, it was a matter of a few words, easy to manage!
Indeed, this strategy proved very effective. Within a month, all the baseless gossip had disappeared. The talk of the town had shifted to the daughter of the woman who had most fiercely slandered Mo Sanniang. Incredibly, it turned out the girl had indeed been caught adulterating—caught red-handed by the man’s original wife.
Now, her reputation ruined and the man’s first wife barring her from the house, the philandering man and the girl’s parents, out of desperation, found an old bachelor in the countryside to marry their daughter. The family bought a house elsewhere and moved away, leaving no trace in the South City.
Lin Yuan was partly responsible for these developments, such as tipping off the first wife about the affair, but the rest was solely the daughter’s own doing.
Of course, this was all in hindsight.
With the rumors resolved, everyone felt more relief and enjoyed their meals together.
To cheer up Mo Sanniang, Lin Wei vividly described how she got into Red Smoke Pavilion. Anyone skilled in embroidery knew about Red Smoke Pavilion, and Mo Sanniang was no exception.
Originally, Lin Wei had written to Mo Sanniang about her entry into Red Smoke Pavilion, but it couldn’t compare to hearing it in person. Hearing Lin Wei recount the story, Mo Sanniang got excited.
Not only that, but Lin Wei also mentioned the marriage proposal from Madam Cheng who wished for her to marry her son. Hearing this, Mo Sanniang’s eyes lit up, urging repeatedly, "Did you accept? Did you accept? You must accept! Red Smoke Pavilion is the dream place for embroiderers like us!"
Seeing Mo Sanniang’s excited demeanor, Lin Wei smiled bitterly, lowered her head, and continued eating without a word.
"How come? You didn’t agree?" Mo Sanniang was very surprised and asked again, "It must be because that man is too ugly, right? No worry, it’s okay not to agree! We can’t ruin our whole lives just for the sake of Red Smoke Pavilion’s reputation!"
Lin Wei was about to nod when she suddenly heard Xiao He on the side burst into a mischievous laugh and expose her lie, "Not at all! The young master of Red Smoke Pavilion is actually quite handsome, young and smart. You don’t know how many girls in the Capital city admire him!"
This puzzled Mo Sanniang even more. Was this girl out of her mind? Such a good man and she is rejecting him!
Lin Wei poked Xiao He’s arm, annoyed, "If you like him so much, you go and become Madam Cheng’s daughter-in-law!"
Xiao He quickly waved his hands in an exaggerated manner, making a terrified expression as if he was incredibly shocked, "No way! I don’t want to be torn into pieces by Xuanxuan!"
Xuanxuan, who is that? Mo Sanniang looked blankly at Xiao He.
Xia Zheng and Xiao Linshuang, who were busy eating, couldn’t help but prick up their ears. How come they didn’t know about this?
Xiao Linshuang suddenly remembered the night when the three of them had a secret meeting in the room and didn’t let her in. Could it be that they were discussing this matter?
Her eyes sparkled, and just as Xiao Linshuang was about to speak, she suddenly saw Lin Yuan and quickly lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible. Big sister had said I shouldn’t have lunch, better eat more while she hasn’t remembered that!
Since it was already out, Lin Yuan decided not to hide it anymore. After all, everyone present was trustworthy, and no one would go to Madam Cheng and snitch. So, she revealed how they had teamed up to disguise Tian Xuan as Lin Wei and secretly let her board the boat for the arranged meeting.
Of course, although Xiao Linshuang hadn’t actively participated, she had contributed willingly. Otherwise, why would Cheng Haoxuan have started feeling sleepy as soon as he entered the cabin? That was all thanks to Xiao He’s forethought of placing dimethyltryptamine in the incense burner on the table, and also thanks to Lin Yuan paying off the boatmen with Silver.
As for why he suddenly woke up when Tian Xuan approached, it was because the clothes she wore were smeared with an antidote, so the moment Tian Xuan got close to Cheng Haoxuan, he woke up.
It was just a pity Tian Xuan didn’t know about the dimethyltryptamine and antidote; otherwise, she would definitely have taken off her clothes first before committing any mischief!
Hearing Lin Yuan talk about these incidents, Xia Zheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Fortunately, that stinky kid hadn’t become his brother-in-law. Compared to Cheng Haoxuan, he still preferred Xiao Linzi as his brother-in-law.
Mo Sanniang’s belly was getting bigger, and she was not feeling very well. After eating and chatting with Lin Yuan for a while, she started to doze off, just in time as she had students coming over in the afternoon. Lin Yuan didn’t stay any longer and escorted Mo Sanniang back home before heading to Fuman Building to rest for a while.
Lin Yuan’s carriage was of a discreetly luxurious kind, so it was quite eye-catching when she drove it through the South City. Just as she entered the alley where Mo Sanniang lived, many neighbors came out to watch. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
