Yun Zhiyi suddenly looked up and looked straight at Zhao Lin.

During the time she was in Chunyi Pavilion, there were people who wanted to take advantage of her, but when they heard that the ransom would cost 50,000 taels, they backed off.

Even if some people can afford the money, they will not redeem her for some reasons.

Yun Zhiyi had long been prepared to die of old age in Chunyi Pavilion.

But he didn't expect Fu Liqing to make such a request, and Zhao Lin actually did it.

However, what surprised Yun Zhiyi even more was that Zhao Lin actually didn't touch her!

Now Yun Zhiyi's indenture contract and other items are in Zhao Lin's hands. To put it bluntly, she belongs to Zhao Lin. To put it bluntly, she is Zhao Lin's private property.

Not to mention sleeping with her, even if they beat her to death or gave her to someone else to play with, Yun Zhiyi would have to endure it.

That is Zhao Lin’s right.

But Zhao Lin didn't even touch her hair, which made Yun Zhiyi unbelievable.

"Young Master Zhao..."

Yun Zhiyi choked up.

Zhao Lin said, "You are Qing'er's good sister, and you are also my sister. Forget about the past and just stay here. If one day you really find your ideal husband, treat this place as your mother's home, and I will prepare a dowry for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Yun Zhiyi finally couldn't help it and covered her face and cried.

Ever since the Yun family fell into decline and his father was exiled, Yun Zhiyi has never experienced this kind of warmth again.

Zhao Lin sighed, took out a handkerchief and handed it over, saying, "The past is the past, let's start a new life."

"Um."

Yun Zhiyi wiped away her tears and suddenly said, "You know, Bai Shiyuan and I have a past. He is now a favorite of the Emperor. What if he targets you because of me..."

Zhao Lin sneered and said, "Then I will go to the Prime Minister to complain."

Bai Shiyuan's fiancée was the daughter of Prime Minister Li Chengqian.

Yun Zhiyi bowed slightly to Zhao Lin and said, "In that case, I will be relying on Young Master Zhao from now on. I also learned management from my mother when I was at home. If Young Master agrees, I will start now."

"Okay!" Zhao Lin agreed immediately.

This family is really lacking a housekeeper.

Although there isn't much to do, there are always some chores that need to be taken care of.

For example, the monthly wages of the servants, making new clothes when the weather gets cold, buying charcoal, daily purchases, etc., a lot of miscellaneous things.

In the past, Zhao Lin personally took care of these matters, but he is getting busier and busier now. In addition to studying literature and practicing martial arts, he also has to deal with the affairs of the Shengjing government. Naturally, he has no time to take care of these trivial matters.

It would be perfect to leave it to Yun Zhiyi.

Zhao Lin called all the servants over and told them that Yun Zhiyi would be the housekeeper of the Zhao family from now on and everyone had to obey her orders. Then he had people prepare wine and food to celebrate Yun Zhiyi becoming a member of this family.

…

The news that Yun Zhiyi was redeemed by Zhao Lin spread quickly.

"What is that rebellious son going to do now?"

Han Yuehua was furious when she heard the news: "He hasn't even married yet, but he's already taken in a prostitute. What does he want to do?"

Taking a concubine before marrying a wife is easy to be criticized, and Yun Zhiyi is a prostitute, which makes it even easier to be talked about.

Zhao Mingya said, "Maybe he was captivated by Yun Zhiyi's appearance, so he was desperate and spent 50,000 taels of silver to redeem her."

Han Yuehua cursed angrily, "You are indeed a loser who crawled out of a beggar's den. You have no vision. You wasted 50,000 taels of silver on a prostitute. If your father knew, he would definitely punish you according to the family rules."

"What a pity, where is the fifty thousand taels of silver?" Zhao Mingyu also said with regret.

The annual income of the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is only 20,000 to 30,000 taels, which means they have to use half a year's income to buy a prostitute. They are heartbroken.

"Does that rebellious son still have tens of thousands of taels?" Han Yuehua said with a gloomy face, "We can't leave it in his hands, otherwise it will all be squandered."

Zhao Mingya said: "But he definitely won't give it to us."

Han Yuehua paced back and forth in anger: "Rebellious son, instead of being filial to your parents and helping the family, you spend all your money on a prostitute. How foolish! If you had given Han'er this much money, he would have already won over a group of people."

It happened that the third brother, Zhao Mingxiao, came back to visit Han Yuehua. After hearing what they said, Zhao Mingxiao said, "That was all Zhao Lin's own money. He can spend it however he wants."

Han Yuehua said angrily: "The money he earns? Without his family's training, how can he earn money?"

Zhao Mingxiao suddenly fell silent.

Han Yuehua seems to have a lot of opinions about Zhao Lin.

Han Yuehua said, "Call that rebellious son back to me. I want to teach him how to spend money properly."

Zhao Mingxiao said, "He doesn't want to come back."

"Then tie him back." Han Yuehua said angrily, "Don't you even know how to tie up a person?"

The three sisters remained silent.

If they could really tie him back, they would have tied Zhao Lin back long ago.

Things that were difficult to do before are even more difficult to do now.

Otherwise, if Zhao Lin really disappeared, Fu Liqing and Li Xingye would definitely not sit idly by.

"Let's not talk about the money issue for now. Isn't Zhao Lin afraid that Miss Fu will be jealous if he redeems Yun Zhiyi?" Zhao Mingxiao quickly changed the subject.

"Hmph, Miss Fu is going to marry into the Bai family soon, and she has nothing to do with Zhao Lin anymore." Han Yuehua said.

"Not necessarily," Zhao Mingxiao said. "The Qingping Tiao poem at the chrysanthemum appreciation party made many girls jealous. These past few days, I've heard several ladies ask Zhao Lin to write one for them, hoping to share his legacy with them."

"Poetry is just a minor art. What's the use of writing it well?" Han Yuehua said disdainfully.

"Mother, you seem to be a little prejudiced against Zhao Lin. Even the Queen Mother praised his good writing skills and gave him the jade pendant awarded by the late emperor, allowing him to enter and leave the Queen Mother's Mansion freely. This is a blessing that many people would never ask for. So far, the Queen Mother's Mansion has never allowed any man to do this." Zhao Mingxiao said.

Han Yuehua suddenly became furious: "You mean I'm wrong?"

"That's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is that maybe Zhao Lin is not as bad as you think?" Zhao Mingxiao said carefully.

"Humph, he's worse than that." Han Yuehua raised her head and sneered, "If he was really as good as you say, he wouldn't have disregarded brotherhood and embarrassed Han'er in public. No matter how good he is, he disobeys his parents and disregards human ethics. Such a person is definitely not a good person."

Zhao Mingxiao sighed, knowing that Han Yuehua's prejudice against Zhao Lin was deeply rooted and could not be changed. He said, "Then let's just leave him alone. He can find as many women as he wants. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

"How can that be possible?"

Han Yuehua glared and said, "Whether we recognize him or not, he is a descendant of the Zhenbei Marquisate. If something happens to him, we will definitely be implicated."

"So what do you plan to do? Find a way to get him to come back and accept your teaching?" Zhao Mingxiao asked.

Han Yuehua said as a matter of course: "It is my right to teach him. But if he comes back now, it will easily affect Han'er. It is better to send someone to take care of the household for him to avoid wasting money. Housekeeper Fang, you go and take good care of him."
