Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince kicked Lily away and ordered Su Peisheng, "Go and call your Master Lin in."

Su Peisheng obediently led Lin Zhuoyin in.

As soon as Lin Zhuoyin entered the room, she saw Lily lying on the ground. She covered her chest in pain and said, "Lily, I treat you like a sister. How could you..."

Lily also covered her wound from being kicked by the Fourth Prince, and said innocently, "Master, please understand, I didn't mean it. It was just that the prince was drunk at the time, so he recognized the wrong person."

Lin Zhuoyin was stunned by Lily's shamelessness and didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only look at the Fourth Prince with tearful eyes, hoping that the Fourth Prince could give her an explanation.

The Fourth Prince estimated the time. If he delayed any further, he would not have enough time to attend the court session. So he was not vague and directly announced the result of the punishment. "Lily has ulterior motives and committed treason. If she is not severely punished, won't the servants follow suit in the future? Beat her to death! Drag her to a spacious place and have the servants come over to watch her, so that she won't be distracted day by day."

Then the Fourth Prince hugged Lin Zhuoyin guiltily and said, "Yin'er has been wronged in this matter. From today on, Yin'er will enjoy the shares of a concubine." After saying that, the Fourth Prince hurried to the court.

Lin Zhuoyin should have been happy about the improvement in her treatment, but she really didn't expect that Lily would be beaten to death. She thought that not taking Lily into the backyard was already the limit, and she even thought about how to suppress Lily.

Su Peisheng followed the Fourth Prince away, and Xiao Xiazi took over the matter. He signaled someone to block Lily's mouth neatly and tie up Lily's upper body to prevent her from struggling. After finishing everything, Xiao Xiazi respectfully asked Lin Zhuoyin, "Does Lin Gege have any other instructions for Lily?"

Lin Zhuoyin stared at Xiao Xiazi blankly, and Xiao Xiazi could only remind her, "Lin Gege?"

Lin Zhuoyin was awakened, and straightened up like a cat with its fur standing on end, and said in a panic, "Since the prince has given the order, Eunuch Xia should just do what he wants."

After getting this confirmation, Xiao Xiazi was about to go out with Baihe. Just as they were about to walk out the door, Lin Zhuoyin called them back, "Eunuch Xia, wait a minute, can you let me talk to Baihe for a few more words? After all, she has been with me for a while."

Xiao Xiazi would not offend Lin Zhuoyin for the dying Lily. He personally took off the cloth that was blocking Lily's mouth and said kindly, "Girl Lin, please do as you please."

Lin Zhuoyin looked at Baihe with a complicated expression, "I once recalled with Gancao the days when the three of us gathered together for warmth in the winter. We survived those freezing days. Why is it like this now?"

Lily knew she was doomed, so she spoke her true feelings. "Yes, the three of us are the same, we are all the lowest-ranking maids in the palace. How come you are so lucky to be a princess in Prince Yong's mansion, while I have to serve others wherever I go? I don't accept it!!!"

Lin Zhuoyin retorted painfully, "Should I wait to leave the palace at the age of 25 and be married off to someone casually by my stepmother? Do you know how much I envied you? Although you entered the palace for your family, your father and mother were looking forward to your return home. They never asked for the money in your hands, but instead gave you a lot of subsidies. Your younger brother passed the examination and became a scholar, and they planned to introduce his classmates to you..." If Lin Zhuoyin was in Baihe, she didn't know how contented she would be.

Lily laughed and said disdainfully, "I was born better than you, why should I let you climb over my head? I just don't accept it! Why do you have to change my name just because you are the master? Why do you not even want to heal me when I stand up for you? Lin Zhuoyin, you are hypocritical and still demand that I must be loyal. There is no such good thing in the world."

Lin Zhuoyin turned her head and closed her eyes, not knowing what to say to Lily.

Xiao Xiazi cleverly covered Lily's mouth again and dragged her out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Gan Cao dared to approach Lin Zhuoyin and said, "Master, do you want to have breakfast? I have to pay my respects to the wife later!"

Lin Zhuoyin asked softly, "When will Lily be executed?"

Gan Cao also said softly, "Eunuch Xia said that he was very busy in the morning and had to wait until everyone in the mansion gathered, so he couldn't start until noon."

Lin Zhuoyin recalled Lily's heart-wrenching words and asked Gancao, "If you don't want to change your name, why didn't you tell me?"

Gancao knelt beside Lin Zhuoyin and said sincerely, "The master is the master, and the servant is the servant. How can a servant command the master? Lily just couldn't see clearly. She always felt that she had a bond with the master, so she acted recklessly and ended up like this."

No matter what Lin Zhuoyin's intention was in changing their names, they, the slaves, had to accept it, because Lin Zhuoyin was no longer the little palace maid. She was the princess of Prince Yong and the master of Lily and Licorice.

Lin Zhuoyin looked at Gancao's respectful look and said with emotion, "Among the three of us, you see the most clearly." Gancao was also the first to put himself in the right position.

The messy account that could not be settled ended with Lily's death.

Lin Zhuoyin calmed down and told Gancao calmly, "Go to the kitchen and urge them. We are a little late today. Don't miss the opportunity to pay respects to Fu Jin."

Gancao agreed promptly, and then asked Lin Zhuoyin for instructions, "I originally arranged for Su Ye, that little girl, to look after Lily because I thought she was smart, but now she has made such a big mistake, the princess can't let her off easily!"

Lin Zhuoyin felt that she had never been so clear-headed. "How dare a little maid like her help Baihe? I guess she has already found a new master. Humph! It's rude not to reciprocate. Tie her up first. Concubine Nian has targeted me many times. We have to give Concubine Nian a big gift."

Gancao looked at Lin Zhuoyin who was becoming more and more imposing, and was even more glad that he knew the situation and did what Lin Zhuoyin said obediently.

Lin Zhuoyin looked at Gancao's busy back and sighed silently. He didn't even have someone to talk to. But this sigh was only for a moment. Nian Shilan would never miss this opportunity to attack him. Instead of being sad, he should think more about how to deal with Nian Shilan's difficulties.

Because of what happened this morning, the servants were refreshed with the extent of the prince's favor towards Ling Gege. The little maid brought back the breakfast exceptionally quickly, and after returning she excitedly showed it off to others.

"You don't know, I arrived at the kitchen, and before I even stood still, Eunuch Huang came up to me and asked how my master's appetite was. He ordered some fresh mutton soup this morning, and asked me to bring back a big bowl of mutton soup noodles for my master! He also stuffed me with a bag of pastries, all freshly made this morning!"

The maidservant beside them all looked envious. She happily took out some cakes and shared a lot with everyone before everyone left.
