Hongxiu also felt that once she safely gave birth to the child, her position would be completely secure.
Zhou Chenyang was in pain from his wound and had no mood to play these fancy games with Hongxiu. After applying the medicine, he told Hongxiu to go back to her room to rest.
Of course, he said it in a very nice way, telling her not to tire out the baby in her womb, which made it sound like he really cared about her.
So Hongxiu, like a victorious rooster, was helped back to her room by her maid.
Jiang Xinrou knew she had to seize the opportunity, so she said, "I have a way to help you get the Lin family's assets."
Zhou Chenyang was now completely unmoved by such words. He said expressionlessly, "Come talk to me again after you've acquired the Lin family's assets."
Jiang Xinrou bit her lip, and Zhou Chenyang said again, "You shameless slut!"
"If you hadn't seduced me, promising to help me quickly acquire the Lin family's assets, I wouldn't have slept with you, and I certainly wouldn't have fallen out with Lin Xiuyan." (M.cascoo.net)
"Now that I think about it, Lin Xiuyan is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you. You are nothing but a good-for-nothing."
Jiang Xinrou felt extremely embarrassed upon hearing this, thinking that it was clearly he who had looked down on Lin Xiuyan for being a spoiled brat and had no interest in the Lin family's affairs.
Because she had been helping Lin Yunzhi manage the Lin family's business, Zhou Chenyang deliberately approached her and tried to seduce her.
She felt that Zhou Chenyang was the best man she could marry, which is why she got together with him.
She never imagined he would be such a shameless man!
She regrets it now, but she can't go back to the Lin family mansion. Now she can only try to win Zhou Chenyang's favor and consolidate her position.
She said softly, "If I really help you get the Lin family's property, can you drive Hongxiu away?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Chenyang replied, "Of course, provided you can acquire all of the Lin family's assets!"
Jiang Xinrou felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing these words.
Zhou Chenyang was just being all lovey-dovey with Hongxiu in front of her, but in the blink of an eye, he can be so ruthless!
He truly embodied the saying "If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be doomed" to the fullest!
She felt she needed to learn from him in this respect.
So she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then it's settled!"
Zhou Chenyang didn't take Jiang Xinrou's words to heart, because in his view, she could do her best, and he wouldn't lose anything if she couldn't.
What he needs to do now is figure out how to kill the Prince of Pingnan and how to deal with Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan was unaware of Zhou Chenyang's thoughts. She had rested enough and then took stock of everyone in the Lin residence.
Last night, three of the Lin family's servants died and seven were seriously injured; basically, everyone had some kind of injury.
The deceased servant, Lin Xiuyan, kept her initial promise and, in addition to giving him a lavish funeral, also compensated his family with a considerable sum of money.
Based on the specific circumstances of these three households, she then allowed them to freely choose whether to work for the Lin family or buy land and live their own lives.
One of the families had an elderly, mute mother. Lin Xiuyan took her into the Lin family mansion and specially assigned a maid to take care of her.
Lin Xiuyan invited the best doctors in Chongqing to treat the seriously injured servants. The Lin family spared no expense on medicine and money as long as they could be cured.
Each of the servants who participated in the battle received ten taels of silver.
Seeing that Lin Xiuyan kept her word, the servants were truly at ease and even more willing to risk their lives for the Lin family.
In this era, for ordinary people like them, human life was not worth much; a few taels of silver could buy their lives.
Now they realize that if they follow Lin Xiuyan, even if they die, their families will be treated well and will not suffer. Everyone is full of motivation.
So even though they were all injured this time, their morale was very high, and those with minor injuries even started training on their own.
When Ye Junfei saw this scene, he felt that Lin Xiuyan had excellent leadership skills and that these arrangements were just right.
If the Lin family continues to develop in this way, coupled with Lin Xiuyan's terrifying ability to manufacture weapons, the Lin family will likely become an entity that no one in Yucheng or even Liefeng Prefecture dares to provoke.
Lin Yunzhi called out to him from the side, "Xiao Ye, come here for a second."
At this moment, Lin Yunzhi was sitting at a stone table in a pavilion, on which was a pot of wine and several dishes.
Wu Dao, who was standing to the side, heard Lin Yunzhi’s words and thought that Lin Yunzhi was really courting death. Did he think that his young master would just be able to get away with a wave of his hand?
As it turns out, yes.
Ye Junfei walked up to Lin Yunzhi with great humility and asked, "Uncle Lin, what are your instructions?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Dao once again marveled at how shameless his young master was.
Yesterday he was Master Lin, today he's Uncle Lin!
That's quite the social butterfly!
I wonder what the Prince of Pingnan, whom Ye Junfei called an old codger, would think if he saw this scene.
Wu Dao thought he might be so angry he'd fly to the sky.
Lin Yunzhi was very satisfied with Ye Junfei's attitude. Qu Shuangyue had already told him about Lin Xiuyan kissing Ye Junfei yesterday.
Although he felt that Lin Xiuyan was a girl who would grow up and leave home, it was normal for her to like a handsome and gentle man like Ye Junfei.
He smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to talk to you again about you and Yan'er."
Ye Junfei lowered his gaze slightly and said earnestly, "I was the one who fell in love with Miss Lin first, and what happened last night was something I couldn't control myself for."
Lin Yunzhi gave this a perfect score. Ye Junfei took all the blame upon himself, which was his way of protecting Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Yunzhi asked him, "I heard that when you came here last night, you brought some people with you. Who are they?"
After killing all the men in black, the guards that Ye Junfei brought last night, except for Wu Dao, quickly dispersed.
Ye Junfei lowered his gaze slightly, pondering whether or not to reveal his identity to Lin Yunzhi.
Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yunzhi said with a smile, "No rush, think it over before you speak."
"Come on, let's have a drink first."
Ye Junfei was already a little worried, so he immediately drank the wine that Lin Yunzhi handed him.
Lin Yunzhi asked him, "Is this wine good?"
Ye Junfei nodded, and Lin Yunzhi said softly, "This is a vintage wine that I've treasured for many years, of course it tastes good!"
He likes to drink, but he can't hold his liquor and his behavior when drunk is also bad, so Qu Shuangyue usually doesn't let him drink.
Seeing Ye Junfei drinking so heartily, Lin Yunzhi's craving for alcohol kicked in, and he quickly poured himself a glass.
After finishing his drink, he smacked his lips contentedly: "Good wine, really delicious!"
Ye Junfei finally decided to reveal his identity to Lin Yunzhi today, so he said, "Uncle Lin, I lied about my identity before."
Lin Yunzhi poured himself another glass of wine and nodded, saying, "I know you lied."
"With your demeanor and abilities, you are definitely not someone that a small family could raise."
After saying that he thought the wine was delicious, his thirst for alcohol was completely awakened. He didn't bother with trying to get information out of Ye Junfei and tried his best to maintain a composed demeanor, saying, "Come on, have another drink!"
