Chapter 10: A Wasted Night
The two brothers of the Lin family are one black and one white.
The second son, Lin Qingping, has a square face and often trains under the sun, so he is very tanned. He also has a beard, which makes him look a bit rough.
The eldest brother, Lin Qingyun, works in the Ministry of Personnel and often stays in the house. He is pale and thin, looks more than ten years younger than his younger brother, and looks like a decent human being.
It was precisely because of his handsomeness that the Emperor of Yan appointed him as the third place in the imperial examination.
It attracted the attention of the noble ladies in the capital.
Lin Qingping came over to speak up for Lin Qianqian: "Brother, you are going too far. How can you let Qianqian live in the stable?"
Lin Qingyun explained disapprovingly: "I did that for her own good. Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best."
"Then why don't you let Baozhu and Baoyu suffer?"
Lin Qingyun naturally didn't want to let his two babies suffer. "She is a crude girl who grew up in the countryside. It is a great blessing for her that I can arrange for her to marry the Champion Marquis. Second brother, please don't be unreasonable."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Lin Qingyun originally wanted to go back to his own yard, but he was in a bad mood, so he decided to go out and have a drink with his colleagues to cheer himself up.
The second son, Lin Qingping, had been in Wucheng Bingmasi for a long time and had a very straightforward personality. He shouted at Lin Qingyun's back, "What a great blessing! Qianqian doesn't want this blessing. If you have the guts, marry Baozhu to the fool marquis!"
When Lin Qianqian heard the news that Lin Qingyun had returned home, she deliberately waited under a tree not far away and happened to overhear what Lin Qingyun and his brothers said.
She looked at Lin Qingyun's back and clenched her hands into fists.
Finally met my unreliable father.
What kind of filthy environment could produce a scum like Lin Qingyun?
This kind of scumbag is not worthy of being a father.
It was already dark and the house was dark, which was perfect for doing shameful things.
Wang arranged for several strong maids to go to the stable and steal the silver.
In fact, she didn't need that little money at all, she just wanted to save face.
"Be brave and give that girl a good beating. If anything goes wrong, I, as the mistress, will bear all the consequences."
"Yes, ma'am."
What Wang didn't know was that when Lin Qianqian was in the manor, she had already conquered Sun Mama, who was by Wang's side, so she had already received the secret information from Sun Mama.
Mother Sun has been very happy these days.
Ever since Miss Qianqian came to the Lin Mansion, she could often eat the delicious food from Zuixianlou at Mrs. Wu's place, and her life was so good.
The six servants sent by Wang turned the house upside down but found nothing.
As for Lin Qianqian and Hongdou, they did not wear any jewelry when they first entered the mansion, and it is the same now.
Mother Fang said, "Second Miss, Madam said that unmarried women are not allowed to have private property. The silver and gifts awarded by the government belong to the entire Lin family. If you take the initiative to hand over the money, we will not make things difficult for you."
Lin Qianqian: "All the silver and property were given to my driver, Ada."
Anyway, A-Da lives in a rented house outside, so Wang has no chance of stealing his property.
When Wang heard from the maid that the property had been moved out of the house, she felt like the sky was falling.
This was the Lin Mansion under her control. Logically, any movement in the mansion could not be hidden from her. However, no one reported to her such a big matter as the transfer of property.
What does this mean? It means that she has lost control of the Lin Mansion.
This is a big deal.
Wang was about to go to bed, but she dressed up again and went to the stone house next to the stable to call the man guarding the gate.
"I have ordered that the Second Young Lady and her men should not be allowed to leave the house. How did you guard the gate?"
The gatekeeper said he felt wronged. "The driver was very strong and the four of us couldn't stop him. We were afraid that the lady would blame us, so we didn't report the incident to her."
Wang: It turns out that this girl's rickshaw driver is so capable. No wonder he was able to help the Five Cities Army capture the wanted criminal. It turns out that it was all because of that rickshaw driver.
"Second girl, give me Ah Da's indenture. I am the head of the Lin Mansion now. All the servants' indentures must be handed over to me and I will be in charge of them."
Lin Qianqian had expected this to happen, "Ada is a free person and has not sold herself to me."
Wang was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off. Looking at the face in front of her that looked like Jiang, her anger increased even more.
"Then hand over the pearl necklace that the second brother and his wife gave you."
Several old women tried to grab it, but saw that Lin Qianqian's wrist was empty.
Lin Qianqian avoided hands and had no physical contact with the maids.
Mind reading is very exhausting and I feel exhausted every time I use it.
She didn't want to waste her mind-reading skills on these old women.
After being in a coma for three days and three nights due to a high fever, the 9-year-old woke up and found that he had the ability to read minds.
When her adoptive father learned that she had the ability to read minds, he told her not to let anyone else know.
Now there are only some daily necessities in Lin Qianqian's house. The valuable things have long been placed in the reliable house rented by Ada outside.
In addition to A-Da, there were also two reliable guards hired to help guard the house.
After Jiang’s house is repaired, everything will be moved there.
However, I cannot let Wang bully me this time. I am still short of 7,000 taels to buy Jiang's house. Since Wang likes to extort money so much, I will let her spend 7,000 taels tonight so that I can get enough money to buy Jiang's house as soon as possible.
Wang worked all night for nothing, and was very unhappy. She ordered the maid, "Take away all the bedding. How can she sleep peacefully at night?"
Second Madam Liu was worried about Lin Qianqian living in the stable, so she came with two maids to deliver daily necessities, and happened to see this eye-catching scene.
Look at you, the wife of the Minister of Personnel, you do such a shameful thing, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?
"Sister-in-law, I advise you to calm down. If what you did gets out, I'm afraid you will no longer have a place in the circle of noble ladies in the capital."
"Hmph." Wang rolled her eyes at Liu and left angrily.
She had heard recently that the second son's official position might be promoted, so she had to be wary of the second son's wife.
On her way back to her room, Wang recalled that she had heard people say that Madam Sun and Granny Wu were very close, so she questioned Madam Sun on the spot:
"Mother Sun, I heard that you and Granny Wu are close friends and often drink together. Are you trying to curry favor with the second girl?"
Madam Sun quickly expressed her loyalty and slapped herself twice in the face, "Madam, you are wrong! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty to you. I became close to Mrs. Wu in order to help you gather information."
This made a lot of sense, so Wang didn't ask any more questions.
Granny Sun was covered in cold sweat.
Although Miss Qianqian always has the upper hand in every fight, her indenture is in the hands of Wang, so it is better to be cautious.
"Okay, I'm just asking casually. I know you're loyal. Mother Sun, you're old now. Go back and have some rest."
Mother Sun left quickly as if she had been pardoned.
Wang returned to the room and found a letter lying on the bright red quilt.
It's really weird, there was nothing on the bed when she left just now!
