Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

Who called me?

His voice was shrill, and he had a heavy accent.

Liu Wenying stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion.

Chen Yindi actually chased after her from the restaurant and stood a few steps behind her, staring intently with wide eyes.

The sunlight shone directly down, illuminating Chen Yindi's face clearly.

She was not very old, and her figure was excessively thin. She looked frail in the coarse cloth dress that was uniformly worn by the restaurant staff.

His face was so thin from long-term malnutrition and overwork that it was almost unrecognizable, with high cheekbones and sunken eyes.

My hands were covered with calluses and tiny cuts, and there was oil stains that I couldn't wash off stuck under my fingernails.

Facial features that were both strange and familiar, Liu Wenying racked her brains and finally made some connection with the person in her mind.

She simply couldn't reconcile the person in front of her with the sister-in-law she remembered.

When the original owner was still in the Chen family, Chen Yindi was a fair-skinned and slightly plump girl.

Back then, with the original owner of this body as her child bride, Chen Yindi didn't need to do any manual labor.

All she had to do all day was sit at home doing needlework or go visiting neighbors with her sharp-tongued mother.

All the hard and tiring chores at home were always dumped on the original owner to do.

But the Chen Yindi before us looks nothing like she used to.

In just over a year, life had worn her down to nothing but a withered skeleton.

Liu Wenying stared intently, finally recognizing a few features from her past in her gaunt face.

"Are you Chen Yindi?"

But shouldn't the Chen family be living in the countryside outside the city, tending to their few acres of meager land?

How did I end up working as a waiter in a restaurant in the east of the city?

When Chen Yindi realized that she had been recognized, she became very emotional.

She just couldn't understand it!

When Liu Wenying was kicked out by her and her mother, she was penniless and didn't even have a decent thick coat with her.

I thought that Liu Wenying would never be able to turn her life around, and the best outcome would be for her to become a beggar on the street and freeze or starve to death in a corner where no one cares.

But what about Liu Wenying in front of us?

Although she was a bit tanned, her skin had a healthy glow and was much fairer than when she had been exposed to the sun and wind.

There was no trace of embarrassment in his eyes; instead, he exuded a composed demeanor.

Her complexion was radiant and healthy; she showed no signs of being disheveled.

Looking down at Liu Wenying's cotton clothes, one can imagine how soft and comfortable they must feel to the touch.

Such clothes were incredibly precious to Chen Yindi; she didn't even have the right to touch them.

Why? Why is Liu Wenying, who was kicked out, living such a good life?

Lost in her turbulent emotions, she didn't even hear what Liu Wenying was saying.

Liu Wenying received no response for a long time, and her face turned cold.

From the day she was kicked out of the Chen family, she completely severed ties with them.

Those deliberate acts of torment are not forgotten, but I'm too lazy to bring them up again, and even less inclined to get entangled with the people in front of me.

The Third Master had already walked several feet away. Not wanting to delay any longer, Liu Wenying quickly caught up with him.

The moment she took a step, Chen Yindi snapped out of her daze and grabbed her tightly.

His frail body unleashed astonishing strength at that moment, his fingernails digging into his flesh through his sleeve.

"You can't leave!"

"Why can't I leave?"

"You, me... our family can't make ends meet. We sold the land to pay off debts, my mother is sick, and my husband has a mountain of gambling debts. We've sold everything we could, so I have no choice but to go to the city to find a way to survive."

She spoke incoherently, her face flushed and neck red, expressing her embarrassment: "You're my sister-in-law, you can't just abandon our family."

"Chen Yindi!" Liu Wenying had never seen such a shameless person. "Have you forgotten that you were the ones who kicked me out? Since then, we've had no relationship whatsoever."

When her husband died unexpectedly, how miserable was the original owner with her baby who was less than a month old? Did they have even a shred of pity for her?

If it were true, it wouldn't have driven the original owner away in the dead of winter.

Too lazy to waste any more words with Chen Yindi, Liu Wenying pulled her hand away and left.

"Liu Wenying, you just left like that? Are you even human?!"

"I'm your sister-in-law. Now that you're living a good life, you not only don't recognize your family, but you also want to run away?"

"Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

Pei Yaojun, who was not far ahead, finally noticed the commotion and turned back to look at the madwoman who was holding onto Liu Wenying.

"What's going on? And who are you?"

Chen Yindi was immersed in her grief and indignation over the accusations when she was suddenly interrupted.

The young man before her fingertips was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a beautiful face. His lovely peach blossom eyes looked down at her with cold arrogance, and the disgust in them made her feel terrified.

She took a good look at Pei Yaojun's impressive attire, and then, considering Liu Wenying's current dignified appearance, a thought that she thought was reasonable popped into her head.

"Who am I? I am Liu Wenying's sister-in-law, and she is my sister-in-law."

"She's been living off my family since she was little, and she's already climbed the social ladder less than two years after my brother passed away?"

Chen Yindi was filled with jealousy and hatred. "So that's why you're dressed so respectably! You've been hooking up with some random guy outside! You got that by selling your body, didn't you? You shameless slut!"

The more she cursed, the more offensive her words became, filled with filth and vulgarity. She didn't hesitate to unleash all her pent-up resentment into the most vicious speculations, hurling them at Liu Wenying.

The surrounding chatter suddenly grew louder, and the gazes directed at Liu Wenying and Pei Yaojun became ambiguous, inquisitive, and even disdainful.

The Yuguo Duke's Mansion is such an upright family, how could it allow others to criticize it?

Chen Yindi wanted to commit suicide, but Liu Wenying hadn't lived enough yet.

"Stop talking nonsense. Third Master and I are just master and servant, not what you think."

"Master and servant? Do you think I'm blind? What master would let his maid sit at the same table as him when he eats?"

Look at the way he looks at you, what else could he be but your lover? And look at you with that seductive look, you dare to do it and I can't even say anything?

"I'll show everyone what kind of person you are, seducing men and disgracing the Chen family!"

Even a clay figure has a temper, and Liu Wenying, with her good temper, was now getting a headache from the noise. She grabbed the woman's arm and shouted, "I don't have a lover. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you get away with it."

What a joke, what a huge joke!

Liu Wenying, who used to be submissive and humble, has such a strong personality and dares to threaten her.

For more than ten years, Chen Yindi had been used to bullying this cheap sister-in-law, so how could she be intimidated by a few words from her?

The more serious Liu Wenying was, the closer she got to the truth.

"Pah! Who would believe that! You unfaithful woman, the man you've seduced is no better; he must be a lecherous scoundrel, completely bewitched by you!"

"Try swearing again."

Pei Yaojun's aura was frighteningly low, and the passersby who had gathered to watch the commotion couldn't help but keep their distance.

"I'm talking about you, you bastard! You're having an affair—"

She didn't finish her sentence.

Pei Yaojun moved.

He definitely doesn't hit women.

But that doesn't mean he'd tolerate a crazy woman insulting him so brazenly.

Chen Yindi was still spouting slander when, in the next moment, she was kicked hard in the lower abdomen.

In an instant, she was kicked backward like a rag doll.
