Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll take your anger out on me and slap me to death."
The smile in Ye Junfei's eyes faded slightly: "Do I look like such an unreasonable person?"
Lin Xiuyan really wanted to say that he didn't just look like him, he *was* him!
She was just afraid that if she really said that, he would really slap her to death.
So she smiled and said, "Of course not, you are a gentle and refined gentleman, I was just talking nonsense!"
Ye Junfei gave her a cool look and snorted coldly.
Lin Xiuyan quickly thanked him, "Thank you for finding that man with sores and exposing Jiang Xinrou's true colors in front of my mother."
That day, after Lin Xiuyan locked up the man with sores, Ye Junfei felt that simply locking him up wasn't enough, so he had Wu Ge kidnap him.
During this time, Wu Ge had given that man a lot of trouble. The man was just a street thug, and when Wu Ge scared him, he naturally told him everything.
Knowing that Jiang Xinrou would definitely take action once Qu Shuangyue returned, Ye Junfei personally escorted the man to see Qu Shuangyue early this morning.
Qu Shuangyue was furious after learning the whole story, and when Jiang Xinrou tried to sow discord between Lin Xiuyan, it was to no avail.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "How do you intend to thank me?"
He actually managed to get to the bottom of Lin Xiuyan's problem. She was a little worried because she had already owed him quite a bit in just these few days.
But he's not someone to be indebted to, and I really don't know how I'll be able to repay him in the future.
Seeing her worried expression, Ye Junfei said, "How about you repay me with your body? For every favor you owe me, you can sleep with me for one night. How about that?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She looked at him, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
She smiled and said, "As long as you don't think I'm ugly, I have no problem with it."
Ye Junfei saw through her perfunctory attitude and reluctance, and said calmly, "Then take out your notebook and write it down yourself."
Lin Xiuyan thought to herself, there are only a handful of favors like this at most, why would she need to keep a notebook to record them? She could remember each and every one of them very clearly.
Much later, when she recalled what Ye Junfei had said that night, all that remained was bitter tears. That perverted bastard!
She didn't think much about it and obediently agreed.
Ye Junfei didn't dwell on the matter, but a fire was burning in his heart.
Jiang Xinrou woke up immediately after being taken back to her room. Hongxiu asked her, "Miss, how is it? Did Madam give you a few tens of thousands more taels of dowry?"
Jiang Xinrou's face was extremely ugly, and she cursed, "That bitch Qu Shuangyue, she always said that she treats me like her own daughter."
"But as soon as something happened, she sided with Lin Xiuyan!"
She started crying again as she said this: "My mother died early, my father didn't love me, and my aunt who raised me is a terrible person!"
"I am clearly better than Lin Xiuyan in every way, but in her eyes, I am still inferior to Lin Xiuyan in every way!"
"Why am I so unlucky!"
Hongxiu was heartbroken to see her like this: "Madam has really gone too far!" (cascoo.net)
"She doesn't think that the Lin family is safe now that it's in Lin Xiuyan's hands!"
"That good-for-nothing Lin Xiuyan has absolutely no ability to manage anything in the Lin family!"
"If the Lin family really falls into Lin Xiuyan's hands, then everything is truly over!"
"Miss, you must pull yourself together and take over the Lin family mansion!"
Jiang Xinrou sniffed and said, "But what about my cousin if that's the case?"
Hongxiu replied, "Miss took the Lin family's property for the good of the Lin family, since Lin Xiuyan simply doesn't have the ability to manage the Lin family."
"The Lin family will definitely be ruined in a few years under her control, but it will surely flourish under Miss's control."
“Then you can give Lin Xiuyan a hundred taels of silver every year. That’s better than her having to beg on the streets.”
Jiang Xinrou took a light breath: "You're right. Even if it's for nothing else, I have to pull myself together for the sake of the Lin family!"
"The Lin family mansion is mine! And it can only be mine!"
Her face was contorted with madness.
Hongxiu said softly, "But given the current situation, we still need to give the city lord an explanation."
"After all, Miss had already told him that this time, in addition to Lin Xiuyan's dowry, she would also bring tens of thousands of taels of silver to marry him in a grand manner."
Jiang Xinrou's lips curled up, her eyes filled with malice: "I've always remembered this."
"Lin Xiuyan, I really didn't want to do this, you forced me to!"
She and Zhou Chenyang had previously agreed that she would bring more money from the Lin family home when she married into the family.
Because she brought up the matter herself, Zhou Chenyang's attitude towards her improved considerably.
How to extract more money from Lin Yunzhi was a skill in itself.
She finally turned her attention to Qu Shuangyue, but she did not expect that her affair at Qizhen Garden would be completely exposed and that Qu Shuangyue would even try to drive her out of the Lin family mansion.
Jiang Xinrou then conceived an even more vicious plan.
Because she knew clearly in her heart that Zhou Chenyang had already become suspicious of her.
If she can't get more things to marry into the city lord's mansion, Zhou Chenyang will never treat her well.
She touched her still relatively flat stomach and whispered, "My child, I will definitely strive to earn a good future for you!"
"My wedding is in five days, I need to be fully prepared."
She was determined to marry Zhou Chenyang no matter what. She wanted to be the city lord's wife and trample Lin Xiuyan and everyone in the Lin family under her feet!
She wanted them all to look up to her and kneel at her feet, begging for mercy!
She couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this possibility.
Seeing her frenzied state, Hongxiu swallowed hard.
Zhou Chenyang didn't take the matter of marrying Jiang Xinrou too seriously. In his eyes, Jiang Xinrou was not worthy of being his wife.
However, if Jiang Xinrou could do as she promised him before, emptying the entire Lin family mansion as a dowry to marry him, he would be willing to give her some dignity.
After all, he's short of money right now, not to mention that he tried to scam Lin Xiuyan last time, but she ended up scamming him back, causing him huge losses.
He had already begun arresting the people that the Prince of Pingnan's mansion had planted in Chongqing.
He pointed out a few things to Wudao, wanting to see how Wudao would act and whether he would really deal with the matters concerning the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
As it turned out, his worries were unnecessary. Not only did Wu Dao not leak any information, but he also helped to catch the person.
At one point, they encountered a formidable opponent, a man with exceptional martial arts skills who, despite being without a sword, killed them all.
Zhou Chenyang said happily, "You've worked hard today, Your Highness. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered a loss."
Wu Dao wanted to say that everyone had seen him. If he didn't kill them desperately, and this matter reached the Prince of Pingnan, he would be dead ten or eight times over!
