Jiangpin's eyes fell on the distance, and she had already made a plan in her mind. She said to Jin Linlin:
"I have my own plans for this matter. Your Jin family is very wealthy, so you can't even come up with this little money, right?"
Jin Linlin frowned and looked at Jiang Bin:
"You mean you're going to use my dowry?"
Jin Linlin looked at Jiang Bin in astonishment, as if she had never expected her to make such a request.
Jiangpin rolled her eyes disapprovingly, thinking: "What's wrong with using your dowry? You little girl, you are really stingy!" She felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said. After all, in her opinion, this was a very normal thing.
However, Jin Linlin didn't think so. She secretly despised the fact that her husband's family actually coveted her daughter-in-law's dowry. If this got out, wouldn't those noble families and their wives laugh their heads off?
Moreover, Concubine Jiang is just a married sister-in-law. What qualifications does she have to use her dowry?
"Sister-in-law, how about this? Ask your father to send some money to the palace every month, and I will naturally protect your Jin family."
Jiang Bin felt that her proposal was very reasonable, and she believed that Jin Linlin would definitely agree.
Jin Linlin's dissatisfaction intensified after hearing this. She straightened her body and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, our Jin family is a legitimate merchant family, but I married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. My father's son-in-law is a second-rank general of the Eastern Expedition. We, the Jin family, don't need any backers."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jiang was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed her finger at Jin Linlin and couldn't even speak clearly: "You...you...how dare you speak to me like that!"
Facing Jiangpin's anger, Jin Linlin appeared unusually calm. She stood up calmly and bowed to Jiangpin:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am only speaking the truth. If Your Majesty is truly in trouble, why not show your sincere gratitude to the Emperor? Perhaps if the Emperor is pleased, rewards will naturally come."
Jiangpin snorted coldly, "Is the Emperor so easy to please?"
Jin Linlin's lips curled slightly. "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and has been favored by the Emperor. If you think of a solution carefully, it will definitely be effective."
Jiangpin's expression softened slightly, and she waved her hand gently, signaling Jin Linlin to leave first. Seeing this, Jin Linlin hurried away as if she had been pardoned.
Jiang Pin looked at Jin Linlin's departing back and thought to herself: It seems that I can't rely on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion anymore, but it's no big deal.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. "Isn't it just finding a merchant to cooperate with? I can find other merchants."
