"Still owe money?! Didn't you pay it off last time? Why are you owing it again?!
Jin'er, tell me the truth, have you been going to the gambling house all the time?!"
Ying Xixi questioned with a cold face.
Lin Huijin lowered his head, and admitted it straightforwardly.
"Yes, so I owed the gambling house money again. Mother, I just had bad luck once in a while.
As long as there is more money, my son will definitely be able to earn it back!
Mother, the gambling house is waiting for your son to pay back the money, otherwise they will break your arms and legs. Mother, please help your son!
Lin Huijin said this and knelt down in front of Ying Xixi with a plop.
Ying Xixi's eyes flashed, "Jin'er, mother told you last time that she has no money left, and that money is to be kept for the daily expenses of the mansion.
But.”
Ying Xixi changed the subject, causing Lin Huijin to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
“The things in the warehouse can be pawned for money.
However, there are fewer things in the original warehouse. If it is discovered by the clan members again, I am afraid they will not give you anything again.
I have the key to the other warehouse. The items inside haven't been touched. You can pawn them, but you have to pawn them alive. When you make money in the future, Jin'er, you must redeem the pawned items, understand?"
"Yes! Thank you, mother! Your son will definitely do as you say!"
Lin Huijin suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and took the key to the warehouse that Ying Xixi handed to him.
After Lin Huijin left with the key, he immediately went to open the warehouse door.
As soon as he entered, he was almost blinded by the light.
The goodies in this warehouse are more numerous and more expensive than those in the other warehouse!
In Lin Huijin's eyes, these treasures are not treasures, but huge amounts of silver!
Lin Huijin immediately took his belongings to the pawnshop, and after exchanging them for silver, he continued to go to the gambling house to pay back his debts and gamble.
This went on for a few days. One day, Lin Huijin skipped school at the Imperial College and went to the gambling house to continue gambling. However, he had only played a few rounds before the gambling house was surrounded by soldiers.
Lin Huijin's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Then it turned out that his hunch was correct.
Because these officers and soldiers were indeed here to arrest him.
"Why are you arresting me?! I didn't do anything!"
While being escorted by officers and soldiers, Lin Huijin struggled and tried to argue.
"Mr. Lin, you pawned all the things bestowed by the emperor, and you say you didn't do anything?!
You should save these words for when you speak to the present emperor! Take him away!"
At the signal from the officers and soldiers, Lin Huijin was immediately taken away and brought directly into the palace, to the imperial study, where he knelt before the emperor.
Lin Huijin had never seen the emperor before. This was his first time seeing the emperor. He was so scared that he didn't dare to look up, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Master Lin, I heard that you pawned the gift I bestowed upon Marquis Wu'an? And you even gambled the money you earned from the pawning?"
The emperor's voice was intimidating without even being angry, and Lin Huijin was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know those were gifts from the Emperor. Please forgive me!"
Lin Huijin's voice was trembling and he was shaking badly.
"You didn't know? I see. But whether you know it or not, the fact that you pawned the imperial gift is a fact, and the proper treatment must be given.
Originally, pawning the imperial gift was punishable by beheading, but since you were unaware of it, I will give you a lighter punishment.
Come, take Master Lin away and give him ten lashes, then jail him for ten days before releasing him!"
The emperor announced the punishment for Lin Huijin.
When Lin Huijin heard this, his heart fell back into his stomach.
Fortunately, it was not beheading. As long as it was not beheading, he would be beaten with a stick and would be imprisoned for ten days.
"Your Majesty, thank you for the lenient punishment!"
After Lin Huijin was taken away, the emperor's eunuch asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to severely punish the Marquis of Wu'an's legitimate son? He is the Marquis of Wu'an's only son."
The emperor chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which showed a shrewd calculation.
"But he's not my biological son, is he?
Marquis Wu'an is dead, and he no longer poses a threat to me. A son adopted from the clan who is addicted to gambling is nothing to be feared."
"Your Majesty is right. It is I who am narrow-minded."
......
The news that Lin Huijin was captured from the gambling house by soldiers in broad daylight and punished by the emperor spread throughout the capital immediately.
The crowd was shocked.
“How come these two children of Marquis Wu’an’s wife are both so… weird.
A girl who likes to hang out with ugly men. The ugly men even steal things from her house, but she still feels sorry for them.
One of them was addicted to gambling and even pawned the royal gift for gambling.
These two children seem to be twins. The wife of Marquis Wu'an is really pitiful. She was actually adopted by two of these things."
"It wasn't Madam Wu'an who decided who was adopted. I heard that the parents of these two children in the Lin family had both passed away, and there was no one to take care of them, so they were adopted by Madam Wu'an.
Who knew he would be like this after growing up? If I had known this, I would have rather not adopted him!
I think this huge Wu'an Marquis Mansion may have no successors!"
......
For a while, Lin Youran and Lin Huijin became the subject of conversation for the people of Beijing after dinner.
Upon seeing this, some officials in the court who originally wanted to stand on the side of Wu'an Marquis Mansion immediately gave up the idea.
Lin Youran and Lin Huijin were so busy with their own affairs that they completely forgot what their father had told them in the letter, asking them to poison Ying Xixi and let her die before he returned.
Lin Weiyi was completely unaware of the recent events in the capital.
Ying Xixi has been living a pretty good life these days. She is stuck in her room because of love and is addicted to gambling. Now she is in jail. Fortunately, no one bothers her.
Now we are just waiting for Lin Weiyi to come back with his mistress.
After dealing with the scumbag and the bitch, she can start the task of having a child with Gu Siyu.
I just don't know if she and Gu Siyu can get married smoothly.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me, sister-in-law?"
Gu Siyu's voice suddenly rang out. Ying Xixi was not frightened this time, but rather felt somewhat accustomed to it.
"Why are you so elusive again?"
Ying Xixi pinched a piece of cake and ate it.
As soon as Gu Siyu sat down next to Ying Xixi, he couldn't wait to reach out and hug her.
"Because I miss my sister-in-law. Doesn't my sister-in-law miss me?"
"Yes, come, let me feed you a piece of cake."
Ying Xixi stuffed a piece of cake into Gu Siyu's mouth, just blocking the sweet words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Gu Si ate the cake with a sweet and resentful look.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Come, have another piece."
Ying Xixi smiled and stuffed another piece into his mouth.
