The Marquis of Dunning is named Lin Dong, and he currently works at the Ministry of Rites. Because his family has a noble concubine and a prince, the title of Marquis remains.
Just as Mrs. Lin had appeased Lin Qingyi, the housekeeper came to report that Lin and Zhong had been fired by Kang Yueran.
The two shopkeepers came into the house, greeted each other, and told the story of the day truthfully.
Lin Dong slammed the table and said, "Kang Yueran, you are indeed a bandit. Does she really think that everything in Prince Ping's Mansion belongs to her?"
He pointed at Lin and Zhong and cursed, "You two are useless. She asked you to come back, and you came back? That's Prince Ping's property, not her, Kang Yueran!"
Shopkeeper Lin kowtowed and said, "Master, it was Uncle Shun who said that both shops should obey Miss Kang."
Second Master Lin Feng suggested, "You two go find Uncle Shun and file a complaint against that female bandit!"
Shopkeeper Zhong had a bitter face. "After we were kicked out of the shop, we immediately went to Prince Ping's mansion. Shun Bo said that everything should be done according to Miss Kang's orders and that we should go back to where we came from."
Shopkeeper Lin said, "Uncle Shun is very angry." He looked up at Old Madam Lin and added, "Uncle Shun is angry with me and Shopkeeper Zhong."
This sentence made everyone present stop talking.
Lin Dong has no real power, so if the Lin family wants to keep their title, they can only pin their hopes on Chai Shijing.
Chai Shijing could not get married until he was 27 years old, and Lin Qingyi would be 17 years old by then, so everyone in the mansion hoped that Lin Qingyi could marry Chai Shijing.
Lin Dong's wife, Song, was Lin Qingyi's biological mother. "Mother, what should we do? Qingyi said that the thugs around that female bandit are extremely powerful."
Lin Dong patted his chest and said, "I'll go find her! I'm Prince Ping's uncle. I don't believe Prince Ping can just watch that female bandit beat me!"
Madam Lin scolded, "Alright, stop bragging!"
She said to Aunt Zhang beside her, "Please invite Miss Kang to come to my house to see me! Yes, please!" She wanted to see what the woman that King Ping liked looked like.
Lin Dong was eager to try, "Mom is really thoughtful. She invited that female bandit to our house. Hehehe... I want to see if she can fly out."
Madam Lin rolled her eyes. "That girl has killed hundreds of people by herself. Are you sure you want to fight her? Can you beat her?"
She has been strong all her life, but her daughter is a crybaby and her two sons are idiots. It has to be said that she looks down on none of her three children.
Song asked cautiously, "So, mother is planning to..."
"Let's see first!"
Nanny Zhang went to the inn to invite Kang Yueran, very respectfully, and said that Old Madam Lin wanted to see her.
Kang Yueran had heard Chai Shijing mention this old lady Lin, who was considered the only person in the Dunning Marquisate who understood. She readily agreed and said she would visit her the next morning.
The next day, she and Hu Dacheng went to the Dunning Marquis' Mansion with gifts.
Knowing that Kang Yueran was coming today, the masters, young masters, ladies and daughters from each room gathered in Madam Lin's room and refused to leave.
The housekeeper brought Kang Yueran into the main house. Looking at the more than ten people, big and small, Kang Yueran was slightly stunned. What a big family!
Ever since Nanny Zhang came back yesterday, Old Madam Lin has been waiting for Chai Shijing, but until now, she has only seen Kang Yueran.
Mrs. Lin was quite impressed by her courage to come here alone. "Miss Kang, please take a seat!"
Kang Yueran walked over and bowed to Madam Lin, "How are you, Madam!" She turned around and bowed to everyone, then sat on the stool prepared by Madam Zhang.
Lin Dong was very angry when he saw Kang Yueran didn't salute him alone, "You really don't know etiquette!"
"Don't you guys always call me a female bandit? Have you ever seen a bandit that's so polite?"
"Since you know you're a bandit, don't try to seduce Prince Ping."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "It seems that you didn't investigate me carefully enough. If you had investigated more carefully, you would have known that it was Ah Jing who shamelessly begged me to take him in."
Lin Qingyi knew what her family meant, and she was convinced she was the Princess of Ping. "You're talking nonsense! My cousin doesn't like you. You must be a mountain spirit who has bewitched my cousin!"
Lin Dong continued, "Look, I'll ask a powerful Maoshan Taoist priest to take you in!"
Kang Yueran was too impatient to argue with these people. She raised her right hand, pressed the arrow from her sleeve, and the iron arrow pierced the door frame. "Whoever talks too much, I'll shoot him!"
Lin Dong didn't expect Kang Yueran to be so arrogant. "You, you dare! If you dare to hurt us, King Ping will not let you go."
Kang Yueran did this on purpose, shocking everyone before anyone else could do anything! Madam Lin glanced at Kang Yueran meaningfully and said to everyone, "All of you go back!"
Kang Yueran followed up with the previous sentence, "No need to go back! As long as they stop talking nonsense, you can listen here."
She looked around at everyone, her eyes stopping at Old Madam Lin. "I know you want to marry Lin Qingyi to A Jing so that you can keep your title of Marquis of Dunning.
But old lady, you should know very well that both the Dunning Marquisate and Lin Qingyi will only hinder Ajing. I think that instead of taking a step forward, you should take a step back.
No matter how foolish a son is, he is still her own son. Old Madam Lin's ultimate goal is to preserve the prosperity and wealth of her children and grandchildren. "How do I withdraw?"
"Shengzhou's Luoyang Mountain is a coal mountain. The coal in this mountain can be mined for decades without any problem, and tens of thousands of taels of silver can be brought in every year.
I can give you Luoyang Mountain, and you can just settle down and make money steadily, and don't have any involvement with officials in the court. "The Marquis's Mansion was very poor, and they lived entirely on their savings and Chai Shijing's support.
Decades, tens of thousands of taels every year? Such a large sum of money made the Lin family very tempted.
