Upon hearing this, Qing Luan realized she had not misjudged the situation; this girl truly cared for Hu Linglong.
"Since the young lady treats you all well, why is it that when she fell ill, no one went to take care of her? How did she become sick in the first place?" This was the crux of the matter.
Jin'er immediately panicked when she heard the question, her eyes reddening as she quickly looked up to explain, "It's not that I don't want to care for the young lady, but Mama Bai and the others won't allow it. They say that since the young lady is sick, she needs to rest quietly. If I disobey them, they threaten to have the master send me away, and I would never see the young lady again."
"Is Mama Bai very powerful in the household?" They were just a bunch of old hags, using their underhanded tactics to bully others; it was truly infuriating.
Jin'er was quite clever. She noticed that the master listened to this young girl and that her questions were about the young lady. Realizing she was there to help, Jin'er felt reassured despite thinking that the girl was a bit too young and unreliable. She decided to share all her frustrations.
From Jin'er's words, Qing Luan learned why Hu Linglong had thoughts of wanting to die.
Mama Bai was feeling triumphant because that despicable son-in-law had slept with her daughter and claimed he would elevate her to Aunt Huang. Now that Hu Linglong was ill, Mama Bai subtly plotted to finish her off completely. After that, her daughter would become the mistress of the Hu Family—because Hu Lingyun was still unmarried.
While Hu Lingyun was sharp in business matters, he was clueless about affairs in the household. He thought his sister was simply causing trouble for those maids, especially with Mama Bai controlling everything.
As for Hu Linglong's illness, it also involved her despicable husband. The Scholar named Wei had a weakness for women and used to indulge himself outside without daring to disrespect Hu Linglong. However, after Hu Linglong became pregnant, he complained that highborn families always had girls prepared for such situations and blamed Hu Linglong for being too strict. Eventually, he ended up with Xiu'er (Mama Bai's daughter).
After seeing how different Hu Linglong looked after giving birth, Wei Scholar took Xiu'er as his mistress and secretly whispered to her: once Hu Linglong died, he would let Xiu'er take charge as his legitimate wife... Xiu'er was shameless enough not to feel embarrassed by this and relayed his words directly to Hu Linglong, leaving her devastated and feeling as if she had lost her will to live.
Hearing these specifics left Qing Luan both amused and exasperated. How could it be that every member of the Hu Family—the young lady, the son-in-law, and even the maid—were all such despicable characters? Hu Linglong had truly fallen into a trap of her own making, trying to fulfill someone else's desires. Wei Scholar and Xiu'er were indeed shameless beyond measure; they could stoop so low without any sense of shame. It was hard to fathom who they were currently relying on or benefiting from.
Wei Scholar claimed he would let Xiu'er manage things in the future; little did he know what family he was actually referring to.
"Jin'er, do you want to save your young lady?" Qing Luan asked softly, seeing that she was a good person.
"Yes, I want to! I would give my life for her," Jin'er immediately knelt down and said excitedly upon hearing this.
Watching Jin'er kneel down in such agitation, Qing Luan rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "Get up, don't torment yourself. If you want to save your young lady, just listen to me."
"I will listen, I will do whatever you say!"
"Then where is Xiu'er right now?" The key to the problem lies with that shameless person; let's catch her first.
"Son-in-law took her out. They left yesterday and haven't returned yet," Jin'er said angrily.
