Feng Yu lifted her cold eyes. When her gaze fixed on the housekeeper, the latter instantly felt a chill run down her spine. She wanted to say something, but the terrifying aura emanating from Feng Yu stopped the words in her throat.
"I'm not going to leave. Is three days such a long time?"
Hearing Feng Yu's calm voice, the housekeeper was momentarily at a loss for words. She gritted her teeth and roared,
"Fine, three days it is. But if you're still here after three days, don't blame me for being rude!" With that, the housekeeper turned and left.
After the housekeeper left, An Xin immediately came to Feng Yu's side, marveling at her audacity.
"Mei Li, you're so amazing! You actually made the housekeeper lose face. It's the first time I've seen her like this!"
Feng Yu just smiled without saying a word. Meanwhile, everyone except An Xin was mocking her.
"Tsk, I bet she's so cocky because she's hooked up with the young master of the Wu family!"
"Don't say that. With her looks, who knows if she's still a virgin."
Ignoring the gossiping voices around her, Feng Yu remained unfazed. An Xin, on the other hand, was extremely annoyed but dared not say anything.
The next day, Feng Yu went to the old master's room again. The old master, being old, either slept or stared blankly. Apart from being unable to take care of himself, he was actually quite easy to get along with.
"Girl, how old are you?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
The old master mused,
"Well, I heard from Yue'er that you lost your memory, right?"
Feng Yu nodded again.
"I quite like you, girl. How about marrying Jin'er?"
Feng Yu was clearly shocked by his words.
"Mr. Wu, you're joking. I'm not interested in the young master. Instead, I'm interested in your illness."
Hearing this, the old master couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, due to excessive laughter, he started to cough.
Feng Yu quickly patted the old master's back.
"Mr. Wu, your current physical condition can't withstand such emotional fluctuations."
"You're quite an interesting girl."
Just then, Lin Xuan walked in and saw the two of them chatting and laughing. She was extremely annoyed.
After all, she was supposed to be Xia Ling. But the old master was indifferent to her, yet chatting and laughing with this woman named Mei Li.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better?" Lin Xuan walked to the old master's bedside and pushed Feng Yu aside.
Feng Yu was quite sensible and walked out of the bedroom.
Coincidentally, she met Zhou Yun. At this moment, Zhou Yun was frowning deeply and couldn't seem to relax.
When Zhou Yun saw Feng Yu, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Mei Li!"
Feng Yu turned around and saw Zhou Yun walking towards her.
"I've found out."
After saying that, Zhou Yun immediately looked around and then pulled Feng Yu to a secluded place.
"There are indeed harmful substances on that bowl! It could be fatal in serious cases!"
Feng Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing Feng Yu's calm demeanor, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Why are you still so calm? This means someone wants to harm the old master."
"So, do you have any clues? Have you found the person who tried to poison him?"
Feng Yu's words left Zhou Yun speechless. He pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not knowing what. Feng Yu sighed and told Zhou Yun what she had seen that day.
This time, it was Zhou Yun's turn to look incredulous.
"You mean it's Aunt Xue!?"
Feng Yu spread her hands. "I didn't say it was her. How would I know who it is?"
Zhou Yun fell silent. After all, Aunt Xue was the old employee who had taken care of the old master for the longest time. She was the one who could get close to him.
After being reminded by Feng Yu, Zhou Yun finally understood. He said goodbye to Feng Yu in a hurry.
After Zhou Yun left, Lin Xuan slowly walked out. When she saw Feng Yu still standing outside the door, she was immediately filled with anger.
"Mei Li, you're so cheap. What kind of medicine did you give my grandpa to make him listen to you so much?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Miss Xia Ling, what are you talking about? I'm just doing my job. Instead of getting the old master's favor, you blame a maid? Have you ever taken care of him like I do?"
"Since you want the old master's favor, you can take over this job from now on."
Lin Xuan's face turned red with anger. She raised her hand and roared, "You bitch!"
But her hand was caught by Feng Yu.
"As a noble, please act like one. Don't disgrace the Wu family."
Lin Xuan gritted her teeth. She had never been so angry. After all, she was now the supreme Xia Ling, not the former Lin Xuan.
But why did she seem to be no match for a maid in front of Mei Li?
"Mei Li, who gave you the guts to attack the young miss!" came the angry voice of Wu Shiwen from behind.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan knew her savior had come and immediately cast a pleading look at him.
Feng Yu shook off Lin Xuan's hand. Lin Xuan staggered backward but was caught by Wu Shiwen in time.
Looking at the calm woman in front of him, Wu Shiwen couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
He really wanted to pin this fiery woman under him.
How could Lin Xuan not notice Wu Shiwen's strange look? She immediately complained, "Uncle, you have to teach this ill - behaved servant a lesson for me!"
Wu Shiwen glanced at Lin Xuan and waved his hand. "Okay, okay, I know."
"Aren't you already fired? Why are you still standing here! Come with me!" Wu Shiwen roared and ordered Feng Yu.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan was stunned. Could it be that Wu Shiwen was getting interested in Mei Li again!?
This couldn't happen! She absolutely couldn't let Mei Li be on an equal footing with her.
After Feng Yu followed Wu Shiwen to the study, Wu Shiwen immediately changed his expression.
"Girl, I can see you're stubborn and a beauty. If..." As he spoke, Wu Shiwen's eyes roamed up and down Feng Yu's body. When he saw her curvy figure, his eyes showed a lecherous look.
"Are you sure?" Feng Yu asked.
Wu Shiwen sneered in his heart and showed a smug smile on his face.
"Of course."
Which girl could resist the temptation of wealth and glory?
"As long as you become my mistress secretly, I'll give you whatever you want." After saying that, Wu Shiwen gradually approached Feng Yu, with the lecherous smile on his face becoming more and more obvious.
He stretched out his hands, trying to push Feng Yu down.
However, Feng Yu dodged to the side, and Wu Shiwen missed.
Falling to the ground, Wu Shiwen turned around and flirted with Feng Yu. "You're such a little tease. I like it."
