The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 76.2
Chapter 76.2
After opening the resting area for the employees, my reputation, which had already improved, continued rising, and the maids were even more excited to do anything for me.
That was why they also reported to me first without me even asking.
“There have been rumors that Lady Lilika goes out a lot lately.”
“Lilika?”
‘Lilika hasn’t met anyone lately because of her bad reputation, so why is she going out?’
They said she didn’t mention anything about meeting with anyone.
However…
“I looked into it since I was a little worried that she was gossiping to the other ladies about Lady Yuria…”
“The coachman said she went to Count Nerand’s mansion the other day.”
I was thankful to everyone.
Not only the maids, but also the coachmen and the employees were willing to cooperate with me.
Now, it was hard for Lilika to do anything without me knowing.
“Sister, it was funny to see you trying so hard.”
“No one is on your side, so do you think you can do anything in secret?”
In my previous life, I was killed by Lilika, but the relationship was now reversed.
The employees were all chasing after me now.
They were now reporting to me about what Lilika had done and where she had gone.
I smiled without realizing it as I felt that my current life was different from the previous one.
“I’m worried that Lilika will cause trouble these days. It’s nice that everyone is helping me like this. Thank you.”
But I still couldn’t believe that there were noble ladies talking to Lilika.
Since the incident with the funeral flowers last time, the noble ladies had been making a fuss, saying that Lilika was an ignorant illegitimate child, so what was going on?
‘It’s not like Lilika’s going to retreat like this.’
It was clear that the outing she had gone to this time was also to scheme something.
“Recently, Lady Lilika has been wary of the knights like never before… She told us to stay far away when she meets with the noble ladies.”
And just as I was conscious of my good reputation within the workforce, she didn’t associate with the escort knights as she used to.
‘Did she see Jiksen pressuring me? She’s more quick-witted than I thought.’
Weren’t they escort knights who in the past even looked at me with disapproval?
Even if she could feel that their atmosphere as they looked at me had changed, I couldn’t believe how she suddenly turned away from them like this.
Did she not take control of the duchy and the social world even though she was in a disadvantageous position?
“We just heard them talking about cosmetics.”
They said they could hear that much since the other ladies, not Lilika, raised their voices.
“By cosmetics, do you mean Yunette?”
“Yes. It looked like they were asking Lady Lilika to get some cosmetics through the Duchess because she is close to the representative of Yunette.”
My smile faded.
‘How could my mother have gotten cosmetics before the opening? Because I am the representative of Yunette.’
Had she known that I was Yunette’s representative, there was no way Lilika would have accepted such a request.
‘Hey, is she acting like this because she doesn’t know that?’
I thought it was inconvenient to hide my identity because of Lilika, but this incident was actually a benefit.
The knight who told me this said that all the noble ladies talked about Yunette when they got together these days, so he was ashamed as if he thought it wasn’t a big harvest.
I smiled warmly as I looked at the regretful knight.
“No, it was a big help. Thank you.”
“R-really, Lady?”
“Of course.”
The knight’s face brightened as he wondered if he had said something unnecessary.
If it was a different product, she might be able to get it easily.
‘But the limited edition that people kept talking about is a different story. I don’t know about before, but the current Lilika can’t get it.’
It was possible to predict that Lilika would ask my mother. It really was a big help.
“Thank you for your hard work. I can rely on you.”
I giggled as I gently told the maids and knights to report any trivial about Lilika from now on.
Now, shall we make things a little more difficult for Lilika?
***
And things went as Yuria expected.
“Damn it…”
Lilika tried to get the limited-edition products from Yunette in her own way.
She never acted complacently or lazily. After all, it was to successfully make a place for her in the social world.
She thought she was running errands like a maid, but she also thought she should do that much.
But… if it was difficult for the nobles with subordinates to obtain them, how could she do it?
She wondered, but her attempt failed again.
She even secretly appealed to Yunette that she was the duke’s daughter, but it didn’t work.
It was a place where it didn’t matter whether you were an aristocrat or not.
“If you’re Lady Primrose… Why don’t you try talking to your mother, the Duchess? She may have bought a limited-edition product.”
It was because of the presence of the Duchess Primrose, who frequented the Yunette shop.
“…”
She couldn’t argue with that.
