[Were you tricked out by that old bastard Huo Renli? Why did you come to my house? Don't set your sights on my house, or you'll be dead!]
Xiao Huaizheng's mouth twitched, and he said respectfully, "I will always remember your life-saving grace yesterday. I came here today to thank Aunt Huang."
After Xiao Huaizheng finished speaking, he took out the gift box he brought.
He opened it and found two night-shining pearls the size of eggs. It was daytime, so they weren't very noticeable, but Lin Yan spotted them immediately and said happily, "They're night-shining pearls!"
Lin Yue also took it with surprise and said, "Why are we as a family being so awkward?"
So it's not too much for me to accept it, right?
[If I don't say anything, even if the Fourth Prince dies, it will be a good thing for that old man Huo Renli.]
[No, what if I can't collect the villain's things? ]
[System, come out quickly!!! Can I keep the Night Pearl?! Please don't do this again. My ankle still hurts when I think about last night.]
System: [Take it, this is his way of thanking you, it’s okay]
Lin Yue smiled immediately: [That's good.]
"Ahem, I'll take it then."
Xiao Huaizheng nodded quickly: "As long as the Queen Aunt doesn't mind, I'm glad. If there are any troubles in the future, you can ask Huaizheng to handle them."
He also wanted to know how his mother and sister died. The imperial aunt seemed concerned about contacting him. This had something to do with his fate, so he could only slowly change.
[That old bastard Huo Renli, he will chop him into pieces sooner or later]
Unconsciously, Xiao Huaizheng's breath sank, and a murderous aura suddenly filled his body.
He himself didn't realize it, but Lin Yue was suddenly frightened by the system's alarm and her legs went weak, and she quickly threw all the night pearls out.
Fortunately, Lin Yan was quick to catch it and asked in shock, "Little sister, what are you doing?"
"A night-shining pearl is worth a thousand pieces of gold. This pair must be worth at least ten thousand taels of silver."
Lin Yue said with lingering fear: "Didn't you just say that your Ministry of Industry was short of money? Here you go!"
"What?" Lin Yan thought he had misheard.
Lin Yue said seriously, "I've thought about it. I can't accept this night pearl. Otherwise, what will happen if the news gets out? I'll give it to your Ministry of Works. You can convert it into silver and do what you want. Don't stare at the Ministry of Revenue all day long, begging like a dog."
Begging like a dog?
Nonsense!
They are clearly worse off than dogs, which can get a bite to eat just by wagging their tails. Even though the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue have knelt down, they still can't get a single ounce of silver.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, please take a look at this... Can this humble servant accept it?"
At this moment, Xiao Huaizheng was watching Lin Yue throwing the hot potato away, and his heart choked. He felt that the anger just now was like a storm blowing on his face.
He doesn't want to become a big villain.
"Of course, but tomorrow morning at court, you must write to the Emperor and tell him that this is a donation from the Empress's aunt to the Ministry of Works, allowing them to focus on serving the court and the people. Do you understand?"
Lin Yan nodded excitedly, tears almost coming out.
Converted into cash, it would be at least 20,000 taels. The brothers in the Ministry of Works would be so grateful that they would prostrate themselves on the ground to flatter him.
Wow, just thinking about it makes me happy! Lin Yan fell into self-absorption.
Lin Yue glanced at Xiao Huaizheng strangely, but saw him smile faintly. He said helplessly, "This should make Father happier, right?"
Lin Yue fell into deep thought. "I don't know whether the emperor is happy or not, but what you are doing seems to be trying to win people's hearts for me."
[System, he looks so lonely when he smiles, doesn't he look like he's turned evil?]
System: [After all, he is a villain, and his evil aura is still very strong. Contact is not recommended.]
Lin Yue gave up: [Okay then]
"It's getting late. I have to go back to the palace first. Auntie, please go back early after dinner to avoid the censors from gossiping again."
After the Fourth Prince finished speaking, he nodded slightly and left.
Lin Yan wanted to keep him for dinner, but was stopped by Lin Yue.
This was an excuse she could never have thought of. It was getting late and she had to go back to the palace. Who would dare to stop her?
Lin Yan was still immersed in his own feelings: "Wow, wow, wow, wow, when our Ministry of Industry successfully promotes the harrowing machine to thousands of households, the people will definitely be grateful to you. Then you will be the heroes of our Great Wei Dynasty!"
Lin Yue: "Shut up, or I'll make you harrow the fields manually!"
Lin Yan: “…”? Ugh, he was so scared. He thought his sister wanted to take the Night Pearl back!
Holding his night-shining pearl tightly, from this moment on, he was no longer Lin Yan, the little mantis from the Ministry of Industry, he was Lin Yan, the golden toad from the Ministry of Industry!!!
