Chapter 421 Selling Well
Li Jinyi walked out of Zhang Qiuye's yard with his own square steps.
When he arrived at the study, he called Li Zhong over and said, "Don't tell me a single word about what happened today.
If the Eighth Concubine hears anything, you'll pack up and leave."
Li Zhong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Master, don't worry!"
"As for the Eighth Concubine, you all have to pay attention to her. I took in these concubines just to make her pregnant."
"I know that nothing will go wrong with the Eighth Concubine."
"You know shit, what I mean is, keep an eye on her. From now on, until she gives birth, don't let her see anyone, and don't let her go out. Got it?"
Li Zhong felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Jinyi said, "If the Eighth Concubine insists, it will be difficult for us servants..."
"Hey, Old Li, isn't your brain getting worse as you get older? She has me and my wife above her, so if she doesn't behave, just report her to me and my wife."
Li Zhong got Li Jinyi's assurance, and he knew where the bottom line was in the future. "I will not let down the master and the mistress's trust, and I will ensure that the eighth concubine will give birth to a little master for them safely."
After hearing this, Li Jinyi smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand to let Li Zhong go.
Zhang Qiuye held the deed and grinned foolishly for a long time. Chuncao looked on enviously, "Eighth Concubine, the master is so good to you!"
"I didn't expect he was such a thoughtful person. I just mentioned it to him that day, and he took it to heart.
Oh, Chuncao, my mother and the others haven't come again, have they?
"I haven't heard the concierge mention it!"
"I won't see them even if they come. I'll see them after I give birth to the baby safely.
When the time comes, I will take out the land deed and let them take a good look. Humph, they bought the land with my money, and I gave it to them. They keep saying that this is my filial piety to them.
Anyway, the master has given me twenty acres of land as a subsidy, so I will be generous this time and not mention the land when I see them again.
Just consider it as my way of showing filial piety to them.
Who made their daughter so capable that she could win the master's heart?
Chuncao, I have a feeling that the master will send me something in a few days."
"Eighth Concubine, is that true? How did you know the master would send you something else?"
Zhang Qiuye gave Chuncao a shy look and said, "This is a secret between us as husband and wife, how could you possibly know it?"
She carefully put the deed away and said, "Okay, since the master has given me such a great gift this time, I must listen to him and give birth to the child safely."
The servants in the yard were naturally happy after hearing what Zhang Qiuye said.
They are all tied to the same rope now. As long as the baby in the eighth concubine's belly is fine, they will be fine too.
After all, with the lessons learned from the previous incident, all the people who originally served Zhang Qiuye, except Chuncao, were sent away.
Qian Yulin knew what Li Jinyi was doing, and he was chatting with Aunt Liu about family matters, "Our master can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
You see, the eighth concubine is pregnant again, and he wants to give her a surprise. He spends more than two hundred taels of silver to buy her twenty acres of land, isn't that enough?
He had to take back the land that the Eighth Concubine's family had occupied and give it to her.
Tell me, if the Eighth Concubine knew about this, how would she feel?
Aunt Liu said disapprovingly, "I think the master is right to do this. The behavior of the Eighth Concubine's family is indeed very infuriating."
"So, I said he can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
You wouldn't dare offend him on weekdays. He might appear calm on the surface, but once he finds an opportunity, he'll definitely strike."
"The master looks careless, but he is actually very clear-headed when it comes to doing things.
He thinks highly of you. Look at all the concubines in our house, none of them dares to surpass you."
"Alas, it is so difficult to have children!"
Aunt Liu also sighed, "May the Bodhisattva bless the Eighth Concubine and give birth to a son."
When Li Jinyi came in, he heard what Aunt Liu said and nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, Madam and Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu quickly bowed to Li Jinyi and left quickly.
Li Jinyi sat down next to Qian Yulin and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"We are husband and wife, and we are one. I do this naturally out of the hope that the master and the Li family will be well."
"Okay, okay, we're all fine!"
Li Jinyi talked about Zhang Juexia again, "This girl looks smarter than Qiu Ye. I'm afraid that's why you like her!"
"Juexia is a girl who does things in a generous and efficient manner. As I said, it doesn't require any thought or effort.
She can think of things you haven't thought of, and she can do things you have thought of beforehand."
"Is it really that good? Then we should let Yingrou learn from her."
“Alas, our Yingrou has grown into a big girl now, and I agree with what the master said.
I don’t know about others, but Yingyue has learned a lot from Juexia.”
"Then let Yingrou learn with Yingyue and Juexia."
"Master, I want to discuss something with you. Our Yingrou has grown into a big girl. Once Yingyue's marriage is settled, she will be the next one.
When Yingrou gets engaged, can we please choose carefully and not be so hasty? We must make sure to find out more about the person's character before deciding, okay?"
Li Jinyi held Qian Yulin's hand and said, "Madam, you are being too polite to me. Rou'er is also my daughter. I naturally hope that she will live a happy life.
But I have a careless personality and I’m afraid that I might miss something. I’d like to ask Madam to take care of Rouer’s marriage.
However, I do have one condition: the man Madam chooses must be chosen by our Rou'er."
Qian Yulin smiled happily, "Look at what Master said. Didn't we also see each other in advance when we got engaged?"
“Speaking of the past, I remember the first time I saw Madam.
Sometimes, when I see Rouer, it's like seeing my wife in her youth."
"Master is becoming more and more indecent. Fortunately, Rou'er is not around. If she had heard this, she would have been so embarrassed."
"Ha, ha, we are an old married couple, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
Li Jinyi accompanied Qian Yulin for lunch before going out to do his work.
Aunt Liu was very puzzled, "Madam, why is the master so patient today..."
"He did something wrong outside, so he's afraid that I'll say something about him.
However, I heard Xia say that her father and stepmother were not good people, so I might as well pretend that I knew nothing.
The master can still do me a good deed. From now on, I don’t have to worry about Rou’er’s marriage anymore.”
