But just to be safe, the young servant still asked with a smile, "Our Madam’s elder brother from her maternal family? May I ask which Madam of our master are you the brother of, young master?"

Lin Yongcheng impatently raised his eyebrows, "What ’which Madam’? Does your Master Magistrate have many Madams?"

Offended by his abrupt scolding, the long-faced young servant felt quite displeased, and his tone grew colder, "Of course, there is only one Madam. Our Madam is the daughter of Jin Mansion, and her elder brother is the eldest master of Jin Mansion. Excuse me, young master, you look to be barely over twenty; too young to be our Madam’s brother, how could you be her elder brother? "

The young servant with the slender eyes sneered and threatened, "Young master, you’d better think carefully before you speak. Falsely claiming family relationships doesn’t work here in Li Mansion."

Lin Yongcheng began to feel guilty. He had never been to Li Mansion before, and he wasn’t very clear about how his sister was faring there, having only heard from Lady Ma that she was now highly favored. Therefore, he had wanted to try his luck and turn up, but he had immediately run into trouble.

"I—I’m not looking for that Madam Jin." Because of his guilt, Lin Yongcheng’s speech became stammered, "I—I’m looking for your—your Madam Lin."

Madam Lin?

The two young servants looked at each other in confusion. Was there a Madam Lin in Li Mansion? Was this man not only mad but also a fool?

Seeing that the servants did not understand, Lin Yongcheng, out of desperation, began to stamp his feet, yelling, "I mean Lin Siyu, Madam Lin! Let me in quickly, I am her elder brother. If you don’t let me in, when I tell my sister, I’ll have you two thrown out!"

With that, he tried to barge in.

Neither of the young servants was a pushover. They had seen all kinds of people and immediately joined forces to throw Lin Yongcheng out. Knowing his identity, neither held back.

Lin Yongcheng was pushed out and nearly fell to the ground, his rear end nearly splitting in two.

Whether from pain or from something else, tears and snot streamed down his face as he pointed at the two servants, laughing haughtily above him, and cursed, "You ignorant fools!

Is this how you treat your master? Just wait, ouch, just you wait until I tell my brother-in-law and have him throw all of you into jail! "

The two young servants laughed even harder upon hearing his words, pointing at Lin Yongcheng writhing on the ground and saying with contempt, "Brother-in-law? With the likes of you, you dare to call Master Magistrate brother-in-law? Haha, be careful, for it might be you who ends up in the magistrate’s prison first! "

The long-faced young servant, having had his laugh, stood with hands on his hips and said scornfully, "Madam Lin, you thought we standing at the door know nothing? Isn’t your sister just a concubine brought in through the back door?

Just a concubine, yet she dares to be called Madam?

Pah! Stop dreaming. She’s barely better than a maid!

A woman who can’t even enter through the front door also deserves to be addressed as Madam? Ridiculous!"

Lin Yongcheng was stunned and dared not speak anymore.

Although he was from the countryside, he had heard some things about the affairs within these mansions.

But he hadn’t expected that his own little sister couldn’t even come and go through the front door, nor could she bear the title of Madam.

Alas, how embarrassing. The words of Lady Ma were meant just to bluff the country bumpkins in Lin family’s village; he hadn’t expected they would also fool her own son, causing him such public embarrassment!

"Alright, alright, get going!" The young servant with the slender eyes couldn’t bother with him anymore and began shooing him away, waving his hand, "If you want to find Maternal Aunt Lin, go to the back door and don’t stand here any longer!"

Lin Yongcheng no longer dared to create a scene. He picked himself up from the ground in a sorry state, not even bothering to dust the dirt off his robe, and ran towards the back door of Li Mansion. At that moment, where was the pride he had before? He resembled nothing so much as a drenched dog.
