He suppressed her emotions, sat back down, and pretended to be calm, saying, "Master, think about it, our Yu'er's food, clothing, housing and transportation all cost a lot of money, and now he has hired a private school, which is not cheap. This thousand taels cannot be rejected. Master, go and talk to the third young lady and ask her to return this thousand taels."

Lin Cheng frowned: "If you don't come back, I have already signed the words 'repaid' on the account and even put my fingerprint on it."

"what?!"

He's eyes went dark, her body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.

Lin Cheng looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"uncomfortable!"

The rage in He's chest suddenly surged up. This one thousand taels was borrowed by her with black money. If she couldn't repay it on time, she would have to pay high interest, or even her life!

Now that the money is gone, what can she use to pay it back?

Those people who lent her money illegally will not let her off easily.

The more she thought about it, the more fear she felt, and the more dissatisfied and resentful she became towards Lin Cheng.

She raised her hands and slapped Lin Cheng, saying without hesitation: "I feel uncomfortable because my one thousand taels of silver are gone! Give me back my one thousand taels, give me back my one thousand taels...!!"

Lin Cheng endured the blows with a good temper. The furrows between his brows became deeper and deeper. Finally, he seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and overturned the table: "Are you all crazy?"

First, he was slapped by Wang for no apparent reason and then scratched, tickled and bitten by her. Now, when he came back, he had to endure the beating by He. Everyone of them wanted to make things difficult for him!

Lin Cheng's face darkened. He flicked his sleeves and walked away with big strides.

Cui'e hurried in from outside, and seeing He's heart-wrenching cry, she quickly helped her up from the ground: "Aunt, what happened? Why are you arguing with the master?"

Over the years, He had always been obedient to Lin Cheng, and a situation like today had never happened.

He grabbed Cui'e's hand, her eyes full of despair: "Lin Cheng didn't even let that little bitch pay back the one thousand taels, and he even signed a document with her and put his fingerprints on it. It's over, everything is over. How can I pay back so much money..."

Cui'e's heart tightened, and she asked, "Aunt, are you telling the truth? Master, how could the master be so confused?!"

He shook her head in despair, leaning on the drum stool in despair.

She never expected that, despite all her planning, something unexpected would happen.

Obviously everything had been arranged. As long as the one thousand taels were returned, she would still be a carefree concubine in the Shangshu Mansion, and her Yu'er would still be the only heir to the Shangshu Mansion.

But now, everything seems to have come to nothing.

When Cui'e saw her reaction, she knew what she said was true, and her face turned pale instantly.

In order to please He, she also signed the IOU written by those people. If she couldn't pay back the money, those people who wanted to extort money would definitely not let her go.

What's more, with He's personality, if the situation really reaches a point of no return, she will definitely find ways to put the blame on her. At that time, she will really be dead without a burial place.

She has to make a living for herself!

Cui'e took a deep breath and patted her shoulder soothingly: "Auntie, don't worry. I will tell the black money lender that we will repay the money in installments. During this period, Auntie, you should try your best to please the master and ask him to reward you with more gold, silver and jewelry. After selling them, we may not be able to pay back the money. Now is not the time to give up."

He's crying paused for a moment, and a light gradually ignited in her gray eyes: "Yes, you are right, I have been planning for so long, and it seems that I will succeed. How can I give up at the last moment?"

She stood up and stumbled to the dressing table, rummaged through the drawers, took out a bunch of red hairpins and jewelry, thought for a moment, and then took off the golden hairpins in her hair.

He ordered: "Take these to pay first, and I will find a way to collect the rest of the money."

"Yes." Cui'e stepped forward and collected them all.

He glanced at her deeply and said, "You have been with me for so many years, you should have saved up a lot. Don't hide it now, just take it all out.

Don't forget, you and I are now on the same boat. "

Cui'e lowered her head and agreed, feeling extremely regretful.

That day, she went to the kitchen to return the dishes as usual, but she accidentally heard the maids and servants talking about borrowing black money. At that time, He was making use of other maids. In order to consolidate her position as a confidant, she told He about this method.

But now, because of this idea, she has fallen to the point where she can't even keep the hard-earned money she saved.

She clenched her palms in hatred.

He tidied her appearance, carefully applied lip balm in front of the dressing mirror, and walked towards the study in a graceful manner.

Behind him, Cui'e stood alone in the dark night, the cold wind blew her hair, and her sad eyes were particularly clear under the moonlight.

She watched He's figure merge into the thick moonlight before she walked away wearily.

……

The next day, just after daybreak, Lin Shuning climbed out of the warm bed and sat in front of the dressing table.

Lian Er said as she was dressing her, "Miss, a lot of big things happened last night. The servants were talking about it this morning."

Lin Shuning raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

Lian Er cleared her throat and said, "Yesterday, Lin Cheng unexpectedly went to Wang's room for the first time, but he left angrily before half an hour had passed. After returning to He's place, he was met with a cold shoulder again, and returned to the study in a rage.

I guess that He probably knew that Lin Cheng had made a deal with the young lady for 1,000 taels, otherwise why would she, who had always been obedient, quarrel with Lin Cheng?"

Lin Shuning curled his lips and smiled sarcastically: "I'm afraid she is struggling to raise money."

"Isn't it?" Lian'er smiled. "I heard that after Lin Cheng left last night, He Shi dressed herself up and went to the study to find Lin Cheng. The two of them were in the study...

Halfway through the process, Wang got the news from somewhere and rushed in and started wrestling with the naked He, causing many servants to see her body.

He was so ashamed and angry that she cried, made a scene, and even hanged herself, saying that she couldn't live any longer. Lin Ben was biased and directly confined Wang to her house. "

Lin Shuning was a little surprised: "Wang Shi is so tough at this moment, it's really rare."

Lian Er curled her lips and complained, "I guess it's because Lin Cheng left halfway, so he was upset."

She pinned the last red hairpin on the dressing table on Lin Shuning's head, straightened her collar, picked up the white fox cloak on the chair and put it on Lin Shuning's shoulders: "Miss, I will go with you."

"Well, go out and wait for me first." Lin Shuning said calmly, holding the hand warmer in his hand.

Lian'er nodded and went to prepare the carriage. When she closed the door, a lot of fine frost flowers came in through the cracks in the door. They melted instantly when they came into contact with the warmth in the house, and wet the ground in spots.

Lin Shuning sniffed, his eyes flickering.

Just now, the space reminded her that the test results of the paternity test report were out.

Although the original owner's blood relationship had nothing to do with her as a time traveler, she still started to get nervous for no reason.

It was as if she had subconsciously regarded herself as the original owner.

At this moment, she also urgently wanted to know whose child she was.

Lin Shuning took a deep breath, pulled out the test report, and read the information carefully. When those words fell into her eyes, her whole body relaxed and her eyes felt a little hot.

"According to medical genetics DNA testing... there is no biological genetic relationship."

She pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a relieved smile, and murmured: "After so many years, Wang's harsh criticism of you has finally been found out. Your biological parents are indeed someone else.

Original owner, you can go with peace of mind. Since I have inherited your body and lived a new life, enjoying the life you didn’t enjoy, I will avenge you and return to your roots on your behalf.”

Somewhere in the dark, Lin Shuning seemed to hear someone whispering thanks to her in her ear.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, clenched the hand warmer in her hands, and walked out with firm steps.

It's time for these murderers to pay.

Lian'er, who was waiting beside the carriage, helped her into the carriage attentively, and then got in herself.

Looking at her young lady's beautiful profile as she looked out the window, for some reason, she felt a different feeling in her heart, as if the shackles that had been binding the young lady had been released.

"Miss, where are we going?"

"Go to Dali Temple." Lin Shuning opened her red lips and uttered a few words lightly.
