All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Yuanzhao is still very majestic.

In other words, few people in high positions can tolerate others challenging their authority.

Yuan Zhao's reaction to the assassin was reasonable.

If it were Xia Chan, and the other party wanted to kill Xie Lin, she might do something even more cruel than Yuan Zhao.

Oh, but it’s true that she doesn’t have as bad taste as Yuan Zhao. She wouldn’t do something like chopping it up and feeding it to the dog.

At most, they would kill those people and throw them directly into the forest to feed the wolves.

"What's your name?"

After Yuan Zhao finished instructing his subordinates, he took Lin Yu's hand, walked to a distance in front of Xia Chan, lowered his eyes and asked her: "What's your name?"

"My servant Xiaodan."

Xia Chan lowered her eyes and did not look at Yuan Zhao.

As a maid, of course you cannot look your master in the eye.

Xia Chan played the role of a maid, so she knew the rules.

Yuanzhao nodded and waved his hand to send Xia Chan off to claim the reward.

"You have done a great job in protecting your master. Go and claim your reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

If you have money, you are a fool not to take it.

Summer cicadas are not stupid.

Although the reward may not be much, every penny is still money, right?

Besides, the reward Yuanzhao gave her now was not much. Once she found out the location of Yuanzhao’s private vault, wouldn’t she be able to make up for it by taking some more things from it?

Don’t think that just because Yuanzhao protected Lin Yu, Xia Chan will think he is a good person and that he can’t take his money.

Yuanzhao's wealth was also obtained by plundering the people, so it should not be wasted.

Xia Chan obediently went to the warehouse and brought back twenty taels of silver as a reward.

This amount of money was already several years' income for an ordinary maid like her.

If she was really a maid, she would be happy for a long time because of this unexpected wealth.

But unfortunately it is not.

Without much emotion, she put the silver into her purse, left the warehouse and went to serve Lin Yu.

Before entering the yard, I saw that a lot of fully armed people were sent outside the yard to protect Lin Yu's safety.

There were even people keeping watch on the rooftops.

Everyone who wants to enter the yard from outside will be carefully checked.

They were asked what they brought, which courtyard sent them, and what their purpose was, and they all had to register.

Just don't let go of any suspicious person.

Such careful questioning shows that Yuanzhao really attaches great importance to Lin Yu.

Maybe Yuanzhao is really the best destination for Lin Yu?

Xia Chan thought about it, lowered his eyes without saying anything, and walked in.

She just discovered the assassin and stopped him, so Lin Yu, the hero of Fangfeiyuan, is the hero.

Most people won't stop it.

After entering the yard, Yuanzhao held Lin Yu's hand and whispered comforting words.

Seeing Xia Chan coming in, Yuanzhao asked Xia Chan to stay with Lin Yu.

"Be smart, little girl. If there are more assassins coming, remember to protect your wife."

After Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he looked Xia Chan over from head to toe and added, "Don't worry, if anything happens to you while protecting the lady, your parents and brothers will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

What he meant by this was to remind Xia Chan that if another assassin came, she could exchange her life for another at the critical moment?

The life she paid for must be hers.

As for what was exchanged, it was Lin Yu's life.

I didn't expect Yuanzhao was still such a passionate person.

Xia Chan knelt down and agreed: "I will remember it. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go ahead, talk to your wife and have a chat."

Yuanzhao asked Xia Chan to accompany Lin Yu, and he left to check other matters related to the marriage.

Tomorrow is his wedding day with Lin Yu. He has missed it for so many years and he doesn’t want to miss it again.

There can be no mistakes at tomorrow's wedding.

.........

Yuanzhao doted on Lin Yu, and even though they had not yet had a substantial relationship, Lin Yu's yard was filled with all kinds of blooming flowers.

The colorful flowers were all picked by Yuanzhao to cheer Lin Yu up.

In fact, people who are in a bad mood will become happier when they see these flowers.

Lin Yu is admiring the flowers.

Xia Chan followed behind her, neither too far nor too close, maintaining her role as a maid.

"Xiao Dan."

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu suddenly started chatting with her.

"how old are you?"

"My slave is sixteen."

Summer cicadas do not hide their age.

There are many people who are sixteen years old, and Lin Yu would not associate anything with this age.

That’s what Xia Chan thought.

But she never thought that Lin Yu was so emotionally rich that he could associate the number sixteen with other things.

"Sixteen!"

Lin Yu looked at the flower pot in front of him and smiled faintly: "I have a daughter who is about your age."

Summer Cicada: ???

From her voice, it seems like she loves her daughter very much?

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lin Yu didn't need her to answer.

Many times, when the master talks to the maid, he doesn't actually need the maid to answer.

They just need an outlet to vent their emotions and someone to talk to.

At this moment, the summer cicada became the object of Lin Yu's story.

So no matter whether she answered or not, or whether she was willing to listen or not, it would not change the fact that Lin Yu wanted to tell.

Lin Yu sighed and then said slowly, "If she could grow up by my side, I would be a grandmother now, right?"

"Pity."

Lin Yu talked to herself, thinking back to how she had treated her only biological daughter, her voice choked up.

The mood is also very low.

"It's my fault. I mistakenly thought that if I obeyed her father, he would be able to see my existence and my heart. For this, I even sacrificed my own daughter."

"She was only born not long ago. I couldn't bear to watch him send his own daughter into such a dangerous place."

"I am her biological mother. When her biological father sent her to suffer, not only did I not stop her, but I even pushed her away again when she grew up and asked me for help..."

"Someone like me is not qualified to be a mother, right?"

Lin Yu thought back to the past and couldn't help wiping away tears.

Xia Chan, who was standing at the back, showed no emotion at all.

As I said before, she was a cold-hearted person. She gave her only warmth to Xie Lin and the Xie family, and she could not spare any warmth for other people.

Even if this person is her biological mother.

She can also be indifferent.

Call her cruel or vicious, that's just her temper.

She hung her head and said nothing.

Lin Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for a while, and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face.

"I lost my temper."

She is going to marry the prince tomorrow, so she is feeling a little sad today.

She lost her composure in front of a maid.

However, things had come to this point, and Lin Yu still asked the last question.

"Xiao Dan, if you had a mother like me, would you forgive me?"
