Chapter 196: The Expression of Eating Shit
A small fourth-grade mansion like the Lin Mansion has no big family to support it.
At most, the annual income is two to three thousand taels.
But Lin Qingjun asked for the Lin Mansion's annual income right away, which meant that he had worked for Lin Qingjun for nothing that year.
Moreover, considering the strength of the Lin family and the character of Lin Zhiqi, they would never give a concubine's daughter a dowry of 3,000 taels. At most, they would give her 100 to 200 taels, plus some worthless, seemingly decent vases or the like.
So, when Lin Zhi learned that she wanted three thousand taels, his shocked expression did not seem fake.
Qingshan thought of something else and admired Miss Lin even more.
"Second Miss Lin is such a ruthless person! Lin Zhi naturally said no, but then Second Miss Lin added another finger and forcibly raised the dowry from 3,000 taels to 4,000 taels?"
Qingshan sighed, there are actually people in this world who are as cruel as the prince. In just two sentences, he added another thousand taels?
"Then Lord Lin is more than just shocked."
But this is not the end yet?
"Lord Lin was so angry that his face turned blue. He threatened to hold Madam Liu accountable and ask her how she raised her daughter."
"But guess what?"
"When Miss Lin Er heard that Concubine Liu was involved, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she became furious. She raised three fingers again and raised the dowry to seven thousand taels, doubling it."
His heaven.
The Second Miss Lin is really domineering. The more Lin Zhi talks, the faster the dowry increases. Originally, she only wanted one year's income of the Lin Mansion, but now, she directly asked for more than two years' income of the Lin Mansion. Lin Zhi was so angry that she almost fainted.
Qingshan swallowed hard. Thinking of Miss Lin Er's fierce look, he secretly warned himself not to offend her in the future, otherwise, his fate would be the same as that of Lord Lin.
certainly.
Qingshan secretly looked at his own prince again.
His eldest son is not someone who is easy to mess with. Now it seems that the only person in the world who is worthy of his eldest son is Miss Lin II. The so-called strong alliance refers to people like them.
Look at his young master. He drove Ji Guitian's family out of Qinghe Hall when he was unhappy. Ji Guitian's family has not dared to say a word since then.
Qingshan was depressed. He was looking forward to the scene after Miss Lin II entered the mansion. That kind of domineering and powerful scene must be very beautiful.
"Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Isn’t he happy that Miss Lin Er is so domineering?
But Qingshan didn't know that the more powerful Lin Qingjun was, the heavier his heart would be.
Lin Qingjun was so busy getting a dowry for herself, not because she was capable, but because her future husband was useless, that is, him, useless. If he was a little useful, would she, a woman, need to be so shameless to ask for it? Then Lin Zhi naturally presented it in person.
How could he be happy?
Ji Chenchuan remained silent, turned around and went back to his private vault.
In his private vault are things left to him by his father and mother. Any item in here can be worth a thousand taels, and the most valuable item is worth ten thousand gold. There are countless things like this in the vault, as well as countless rare treasures.
To give another example, all the belongings of the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion put together are not as valuable as a corner of his private treasury. You can imagine how valuable the things in his private treasury are.
However, this private vault was only in his Linyuan Pavilion, and Ji Guitian and the others had no idea about it. Moreover, they were reluctant to come to his Linyuan Pavilion for fear of being infected by his illness.
It is because of this that his wealth has been preserved to this day.
But Lin Qingjun threw away her dignity and asked Lin Zhi for a mere few thousand taels of silver?
How could he not feel sad and distressed?
Ji Chenchuan pressed his lips into a straight line, and his droopy expression made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Qingshan was also stunned. What happened to their young master?
But what shocked Qingshan even more was that the prince actually looked for a while and then turned around and left?
Qingshan scratched his head, becoming even more puzzled. "Am I mistaken? Didn't the prince want to take some money from his private treasury as a dowry for Miss Lin Er?"
That shouldn’t be the case. The prince is not such a stingy person.
If Ji Chenchuan knew Qingshan thought this about him, he would probably beat him up. He could be stingy with anyone, but he was absolutely generous to Lin Qingjun. Not to mention this small private treasury, even if he asked for his underwear, he would give it to him.
At this time, Lin Mansion.
Lin Qingjun held the thick stack of banknotes, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his cold eyes.
"Father, couldn't you have just given it to me earlier? Why did you have to make your daughter say such outrageous words?"
Haha, isn't he sick? He doesn't want to hear nice words, but insists on listening to her threats?
But it's also true that if he really took out all this money at once, she would not dare to take it. Who knows if he would ask her to save someone else's life again?
Lin Zhi looked at Lin Qingjun with a dark face, his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves.
He had never imagined that the cowardly concubine's daughter would become so fierce? She even threatened him. If he had known this would happen, he would have strangled her to death at birth, saving him the trouble of angering her and saving seven thousand taels of silver.
Seven thousand taels! That's the Lin family's two years' income. Lin Qingjun, how dare she do that?
Lin Qingjun wasn't afraid of his anger, so she simply said, "Father, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm only telling the truth. Besides, weren't you the one who delivered all of this to me? If you had given my aunt the letter of release as a concubine that time, this wouldn't have happened."
She added, "Father, this matter is also beneficial to you. Who is the Crown Prince? He is the future monarch. If my elder sister follows the Crown Prince one day, she can at least become a concubine."
"If my eldest sister's pregnancy is a little more aggressive and she gets pregnant with a boy, then you'll be the prince's grandfather. If you can use some tricks to help the prince ascend to the throne, you'll be the future father-in-law of the emperor, right? A true member of the royal family."
"Isn't this what you've always hoped for and wanted?"
So yeah.
"Father, please don't act like you're threatened by me. I won't take the blame for this."
What is a threat?
There is a knife on his neck, and if he doesn't give in, his head will fall off. This is a threat.
What is mutual benefit?
She was the one who gave him advice and fulfilled all his wishes, such as sending Lin Yingxue to the Prince's Mansion, giving him a prescription to ensure the birth of a child, and how to make him establish his authority in front of Qi.
And he only needed to give her a small amount of silver to get rid of her.
This is mutual benefit, do you understand?
Lin Qingjun looked at Lin Zhi's expression of having eaten shit, full of disdain. He was already so old and had read so many books, but he still didn't know the difference between the two? This book was really read to the point of being a dog's stomach.
Lin Qingjun took the bill and knelt down quickly and decisively.
"Thank you, father. I'll take my leave."
