Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 776 - 096 Trashy Woman VS Trashy Woman_1

Rather than feeling that she had driven Meng Chunyan away, Lin Yuan believed she had been scared off, seemingly shocked that Liu Limin was Lin Yuan’s maternal aunt. As for why she was causing trouble for Liu Limin, Lin Yuan never did ask, since the maternal aunt simply smiled and said she could handle it.

She was quite confident in her maternal aunt’s abilities, after all, everyone was in the town and not far from each other, so they could look out for one another if anything really happened.

The wedding feast ended, and had it not been for what happened next, it would have been a perfect wedding.

Lin Siyu was greatly upset upon learning that Jin Lingling was already pregnant. She returned to her room in a daze and, hearing the relentless joy and laughter from outside, felt increasingly suffocated, to the point where even her beloved cat failed to capture her attention.

The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. Taking advantage of Panpan going out to brew tea, Lin Siyu, without even putting down her cat, went to Jin Lingling’s bridal chamber.

At that moment, only the bride, the maid Hong Mei, and an old lady assigned by Lady Jin to keep her company were left in the bridal chamber. Since the groom had yet to lift the bride’s veil, Jin Lingling was still sitting on the wedding bed waiting, covered by her veil.

Fearing she might be hungry, Li Chengzhi had even sent a young servant to deliver a bowl of plain noodle soup with egg. Jin Lingling was immersed in indescribable happiness when she heard the maids outside trying to fend off someone.

"What’s going on?"

Traditionally, the bride wasn’t supposed to eat anything. Hearing someone approaching, Hong Mei quickly took the bowl of noodle soup from her hands, and only after seeing them put away, did the old lady crack open the door a little and ask.

The maids guarding the door were not from Jin Lingling’s original home; they were all newly acquired by Lady Jin for her niece, and although they were new, they already had a good grasp of the people and affairs of the Li Mansion.

A little maid ran over from a distance and said to the old lady, "Mother, Maternal Aunt Lin has come and would like to pay her respects to the Young Lady."

The old lady’s face sagged in displeasure, "When I was at Madam’s side, I often had to bear the indignities from that little wench. Now she’s come to trouble our new lady! Doesn’t she see her own status? A little concubine coming to the bridal chamber? Chase her away! Bad luck!"

The little maid sighed and was about to turn around when she saw Lin Siyu already lazily entering the courtyard with her cat, while maids at the entrance looked terrified as they chased after her trying to block her path.

"Ah, on such a joyous day, why does Mother only speak of bad omens? Aren’t you afraid of cursing our new bride with bad luck?" Lin Siyu looked down from her superior position at the old lady who wanted her chased away, idly stroking the cat in her arms.

The old lady inwardly cursed her luck; although Lin Siyu was merely a little concubine with no real power, she was currently the most favored by Li Chang, even more so than Maternal Aunt Liu back in the day. Angering her could be bad—if she complained to Li Chang and got her thrown out, what would she do?

The old lady lost her earlier impatience and smiled ingratiatingly, "Maternal Aunt Lin is right. This worthless mouth of mine is just no good."

Lin Siyu couldn’t be bothered with her and walked toward the house with the cat. How could the old lady let her in? The Young Lady, though recently introduced to the household, would be her mistress in the future. Without the mistress’s permission, she dared not allow anyone inside.

"Maternal Aunt Lin, please stop! The Young Lady has not given permission; I really cannot invite you inside! Maternal Aunt Lin, please be considerate of your servants here!"

Lin Siyu dodged the old lady’s attempt to stop her, took a sidestep, and brushed past her, huffing, "Why can’t I come see the new bride? We will all be family from now on. Is it so wrong for me, as a mother-in-law, to want to see my daughter-in-law?"

The old lady, being advanced in age and not so nimble, was toyed with by Lin Siyu’s dodging and feinting and let out a cry, wobbling to one side.

Just as Lin Siyu was about to step over the threshold, a sharp, cold snort was heard, and the door to the bridal chamber flung open from inside.

"Maid Hong Mei!" The old lady staggered to her feet, still pretending to clutch her aching back devotedly, as if willing to take a beating for her loyalty.

Hong Mei glanced at her coldly, said nothing, and turned her gaze towards Lin Siyu and the cat in her arms.

"Are you Maternal Aunt Lin? My lady will not argue with you out of respect for your elder status. Please be sensible and return to where you came from."

Lin Siyu sneered. Even a little maid was acting so authoritative, really thinking herself the mistress of the Li Mansion? And that mention of her being an elder—what a piercing remark! In reality, she wasn’t much older than Jin Lingling, yet she had somehow become her elder. freёnovelkiss.com
