Chapter 599 As long as she likes it.

Bai Cha remained silent for a long time, stunned by her mistress's words.

Lin Shusheng wouldn't have acted so quickly, especially since Qin Shi still has a major weakness against him.

"Qin has a fiery temper. Over the years, my scumbag father has been obedient to her, which has fueled her arrogance. When she suddenly realizes that she is a joke, she must be unable to bear it. Even the most scheming person can't help but jump out."

Although she didn't have much contact with the Qin family, Lin Yuesha had a general understanding of them.

Qin is truly devoted to her scumbag father, and she is inherently proud. Upon discovering this, she will be furious and may very well try to take him down with her.

"The reason why Lin Shusheng dared to take action was probably because he had some information about the butcher's wife. Killing her to silence her was his plan, but he was just carrying it out ahead of schedule."

If Qin Shi really died, the marriage between the Wei and Lin families could be postponed, which was Lin Yuesha's goal. Although she achieved it, she felt no sense of accomplishment, but rather a deep sense of regret.

"To kill your spouse of over ten years without hesitation, how cruel must one be?"

Lin Yuesha discovered that men nowadays do not value women. Getting promoted, making money, and losing one's wife are the three great joys in life, but they care a lot about offspring and continuing the family line. Whether a woman saves the mother or the baby during childbirth is not a problem in Daqi, because almost everyone will choose to save the baby.

The more I learned, the more I felt the tragic fate of women. Madam Xu was right: when men act like scoundrels, it's necessary to discipline them when necessary, and they'll be sure to obey.

"Miss, there's something wrong with your theory."

After listening for a while, Granny Fang realized that the topic was getting more and more off track. Why was her young mistress showing signs of disliking men? How was she going to get married in the future? It was too pessimistic.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

Because she saw things so clearly, Lin Yuesha was a little disappointed, but that was all. She didn't want to depend on anyone to live; no one was more important than her family.

"You are being too biased."

After Fang Mama finished speaking, she wanted to give a few examples, but was surprised to find that she had none. She could only make amends for her remarks, saying, "There are thousands of men in the world, and there are always a few good ones."

"Yes, it is, but like finding a needle in a haystack."

Lin Yuesha immediately continued, saying that her father, Xiao Chenggui, was a rare good person. Although her mother, Chen, had been married before and had taken her, a burden, her father didn't care. He gave her not only love and care, but also, more importantly, respect.

Xiao Chenggui's mannerisms are somewhat like those of a modern, enlightened patriarch, a rarity in Daqi.

The master and servant were chatting when Bai Cha lifted her skirt and trotted into the courtyard.

Upon seeing the white tea, Lin Yuesha perked up and asked, "Has Qin returned?"

"Miss, Qin Shi hasn't returned. Instead, Master has gone to the stables, seemingly preparing to ride out on horseback."

It's already this late. If it gets any later, the inner city will be under curfew. It's unclear where Lin Shusheng is going if he goes out at this hour.

"And Miss, please wash up quickly. Sister Qingxing just sent a message that the person is waiting for you at the back gate."

Everyone knew perfectly well who that person was.

Fortunately, the Qin family acted slowly and did not send in any spies or informants.

"I'll go right away."

As the eighth month of the lunar calendar arrived, the nights became slightly chilly. Based on past experience, Lin Yuesha grabbed a cloak and brought a small basket of pastries, along with a pot of tea.

"Sister Qingxing is waiting for you at the back gate, so I won't follow you."

Granny Fang and Bai Cha Longjing stayed at the mansion. Bai Cha was still a little worried and instructed, "You are a woman, you should be more reserved. Even if it is a fake marriage, don't let anything happen."

"I know, I know."

Lin Yuesha gave a few impatient, perfunctory replies, but in reality, she felt guilty. A few days ago, she had done something beastly while drunk, so much so that she was ashamed to face the pockmarked man. Now, she was trying to use him to arrange another meeting, and even she felt that she was being a scumbag and shouldn't have done that.

Therefore, Lin Yuesha prepared tea in advance to avoid losing her composure.

I hurried to the side gate, where Qingxing had been waiting for a while.

"Miss, come with me."

Qingxing stepped forward to help Lin Yuesha up and asked the old woman to open the side gate, where a carriage was parked.

"Come up."

Having not seen her for several days, Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile to himself when he saw his little sister.

That day, the girl was drunk and had no regard for her image. When she finally kissed his face, because she was wearing a mask, he couldn't feel any wetness at all. He wasted such a great opportunity and felt quite regretful.

"Brother Yun... Brother Yun."

She pretended not to know, pretended that nothing had happened, because if Granny Fang hadn't told her, she wouldn't remember anything.

"Let's go, let's go straight to Taipingfang."

Xiao Qi instructed Qingxing to drive the carriage, and soon the carriage left the Lin residence.

"Go to Taipingfang? But it seems that Scholar Lin hasn't come out of the mansion."

Lin Yuesha opened the car window and looked back, but it was too dark in the alley and she couldn't see anything at all.

"Qingxing has already told me about your situation."

Recently, I've been very busy with many matters, and the subordinate monitoring the Qin family suddenly fell seriously ill. There was no new person to replace him, which is why such a big problem has arisen.

Fortunately, the younger sister was clever and thought things through far enough. Her method was exactly the same as when he plotted to kill Fang Shi by the young master. It was a classic case of using someone else to do the dirty work.

If the emperor grants the marriage, it's not irreversible, but the aftermath will be much more troublesome.

"Let's go to Taipingfang and wait there. Lin Shusheng will definitely be heading to Taipingfang."

If it were daytime, with so many cars and people, following Lin Shusheng would be easy. But now, with so few carriages on the streets of the capital, he would be easily spotted.

"Yes, he is a suspicious person."

Lin Yuesha gave the pockmarked man a thumbs up. She hadn't yet mentioned what happened during the day, but the pockmarked man seemed to have everything under control, as if he were omnipresent in her life.

The two remained silent, and Lin Yuesha opened a pastry and ate a piece.

She was quite uncomfortable with the so-called family dinner that evening, and Old Mrs. Lin probably felt the same way. After taking a few bites, she put down her chopsticks, and as a junior, she could not continue eating; that was the rule.

"You eat this."

As Xiao Qi spoke, he opened the drawer of the small table on the carriage, took out an oil paper package, and handed it to Lin Yuesha.

"This is?"

Lin Yuesha took a bite after receiving it. The outer skin was crispy and the aroma lingered on her lips and teeth. It was a familiar taste to her. She asked in confusion, "It tastes too much like Shuangfuji's roast duck."

"Exactly."

Xiao Qi smiled faintly. It seems the little girl has a sharp palate; she can tell just by tasting it.

"Shuangfuji's roast duck?"

Lin Yuesha was shocked. Although she later learned that Shuangfuji was owned by the pockmarked man, it was only found in the North. She couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the head chef has arrived?"

"I guess so. It just opened a couple of days ago. It's called Beijing Shuangfuji."

Opening a shop in the capital isn't that difficult. Xiao Qi has businesses everywhere, and the costs and profits of his businesses are never a concern for him.

"But Shuangfuji Restaurant was doing just fine in the north, why did it come to the capital?"

Lin Yuesha was a shop owner and knew that opening a shop was very complicated. Shuangfuji did not have a good reputation in the capital, so it would not be easy to make money.

"Because you like it."

Xiao Qi spoke with a serious expression. Since Lin Yuesha liked it, whether or not it made money was not important; as long as she liked it, that was enough.
