By becoming an adopted daughter, she could preserve the Wen family's reputation, maintain Wen Qin's position within the family, and avoid impacting the family's interests.
The news that she was an adopted daughter not only dispelled the rumors from a few days ago, but also earned her some goodwill from the neighbors and the Liu family.
Even when she's a few years older and well-educated, she can still be used as a tool for marriage alliances within the Wen family. If she can't climb to a higher position, she can still find subordinates of equal rank or with potential to continue to support the Wen family.
Even if everything is exposed later, the Wen family and Wen Qin can still push all the responsibility onto Lin Xiaoxiao.
No matter how you look at it, the Wen family has not lost anything; on the contrary, they can gain even more benefits.
The only one who suffered a loss was Lin Xiaoxiao.
It's really hard to say what would happen if it ended up with the original owner.
However, the core inside this body is Lin Xiaoxiao, and she will not suffer any loss.
Fifty thousand yuan is a lot of money these days; many people can't earn that much in their entire lives.
However, the Wen family still has the ability to raise the money; it's just a matter of putting in a lot of effort and getting their hands dirty.
She did this to make them resent Wen Qin.
"What?!" Qin Ying bristled like a chicken, staring at Lin Xiaoxiao with disbelief.
"You actually asked for 50,000 yuan right off the bat?! Why don't you just rob someone?!"
"Are you stupid? Robbing money is illegal." Lin Xiaoxiao said leisurely, "It's fine if you don't give me money, but I want our family heirloom, the kingfisher feather phoenix crown. We can talk about this when you hand it over to me."
Lin Xiaoxiao then stated another condition.
Qin Ying was so angry that she felt like she wanted to break the table in front of her.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, I think you're dreaming. That's my family heirloom."
Upon seeing Qin Ying's attitude, Wen Qin immediately became anxious: "Mom, it's just a family heirloom, what's the harm in giving it to her?"
"You don't know anything! Do you even know how many years that is? Almost three hundred years, you idiot!" Qin Ying roared.
"Could those family heirlooms be ordinary things? They were left behind by our ancestors!!"
"Let's not even talk about how precious this family heirloom is. Even in this situation, if we were to estimate its value, it would be worth at least tens of thousands."
"Wen Qin, you're so generous! Giving someone something worth tens of thousands right off the bat. You wouldn't feel bad if you weren't paying for it, would you?"
“I didn’t think it was worth that much.” Wen Qin’s eyes widened when she heard the price. “I really didn’t know it was so valuable.”
Whether at the Wen family's or the Liu family's, I've never heard them talk about so much value.
That's why Mom was so agitated and angry.
But... one cannot have any stains on one's body.
Wen Qin looked at Wen Changjun with red, pitiful eyes.
Mom is too agitated to talk back to, but maybe Dad will give in?
Wen Changjun pondered for several seconds before his expression brightened: "Wife, I remember there was an item of similar value among your dowry, that pair of phoenix hairpins. We can give it to her first."
"Although it's not as precious as the kingfisher feather phoenix crown, it doesn't seem bad either."
"Wenqin's matter needs to be resolved. Once everything is over, I will decide to find you a better replacement or buy you something more valuable."
"Impossible!!" Qin Ying looked at the man she had slept with for twenty years in astonishment.
“Those are mine, they are the most important things in our Qin family, don’t even think about them.”
Wen Changjun: "But if we don't agree, what about Wen Qin..."
"Her surname is Wen, not Qin. Besides, she's not my own flesh and blood!" Qin Ying roared with all her might to express her protest.
"No matter what you say, I'm not giving it up!"
Yesterday, Qin Ying felt that she had misunderstood Wen Qin and still felt a little apologetic towards her.
But now, what kind of apology is this?
Anyone who tries to steal her Qin family heirloom will face her head-on, no matter what.
Qin Ying disagreed.
Wen Changjun couldn't possibly come up with 50,000 yuan.
Therefore, today's negotiation with Lin Xiaoxiao was a failure.
After everyone had finished washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest.
No one knows what kind of spell Wen Changjun cast on Qin Ying, but the very next morning, Qin Ying surprisingly smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, is it that you want that phoenix hairpin? I thought about it all night yesterday. You are my daughter after all."
"It's only right that I give you this phoenix hairpin, child. Come with me to the outer room to get it, and then I'll give it to you."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Ying and Wen Changjun in disbelief.
Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't expected Wen Changjun to be so eloquent.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ying was persuaded to agree to hand over this family heirloom that the Qin family was so proud of, all in just one night.
Since they agreed, Lin Xiaoxiao naturally had no reason to refuse and immediately prepared a bag for herself.
After the two finished breakfast, they immediately went to hand over the work.
While on the way, Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking about what kind of trouble the Wen family was planning.
Who knew Qin Ying would just say it directly.
It turns out that after yesterday's conversation, Wen Changjun went to see the old man overnight.
The old man immediately made the decision and told Wen Changjun to agree.
He said that if Qin Ying could bring out the family heirloom now, he would not only promise to find her a better match within two years.
During this period, they will work on getting Qin Ying's younger brother promoted to the next level.
After hearing this, Qin Ying's resolve began to waver.
