I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Zhao Yuan clenched his fist and unclenched it, then clenched it again. "Don't you all like that chair? In that case..."

It was as if what happened that night had never happened, and everyone in the capital had a collective amnesia.

Jordan, the owner of Juyi Casino, squatted in his secret room, touching boxes of silver ingots and laughing!

He could be considered one of the people who least wanted anything to happen to Lin Yan. On the contrary, he wanted Lin Yan to be alive more than anyone else, and Zhao Yuan did not let him down.

However, Jordan felt unwilling to give up when he touched the silver ingot in his hand. "There are still two months left. I don't believe that Lin Yan can still be lucky enough to survive. Do you want to make another bet?"

As soon as Jordan set up the game, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to warn him, "Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant!"

He immediately withdrew from the game in disgrace.

His Royal Highness received a secret report that Haofulai's monthly turnover seemed to be over ten thousand taels. This figure simply shocked him, and he became even more interested in this concubine who was desperately protected by Zhao Yuan!

The rent I wanted was just right, and I felt a little proud inside.

If he knew that the daily turnover was several thousand taels, he would not hesitate to come and snatch the person away while Zhao Yuan was away.

.....................

Lin Yan stayed quietly in the Crescent Moon Courtyard in the palace. She was still the most favored concubine and of course had the best food, clothing and other necessities.

Because the prince was not in the mansion, Miao Yinhua and Xie Liuxu no longer had anyone to compete with. They lived in the same courtyard, and they saw each other every day. Their life was peaceful and harmonious.

Having nothing to do all day, even though Lin Yan rejected them twice, it still didn't stop them from visiting Lin Yan again. It was like visiting Lin Yan three times and capturing Meng Huo seven times.

"Hey, let them in!" Lin Yan was speechless. She couldn't refuse them with a stern face. After all, they had to live together in the same courtyard, and at least they could have someone to chat with when she was bored.

……

The New Year is coming soon, and concubines must prepare some gifts for the men of the family, usually clothes, shoes and socks.

Lin Yan felt that she was fine with wearing clothes, so she could just make clothes, but she couldn't just show no expression at all, and she was conflicted for a long time.

Lin Yan also began to clumsily pick up the needle and thread, imitating Miao Yinhua and Xie Liuxu, and asked Green Tea to find a piece of navy blue brocade and started doing needlework.

If you eat and drink well all day long and don't exercise, you will become a fat man. Take a walk in the garden when the sun is shining at noon.

Miao Yinhua has a loose mouth. She stays at home all day long and has nothing to think about. She can tell all kinds of dirty jokes.

Time faded everything. Except for the casino owner Qiao who was still concerned about Lin Yan's life and death, it seemed as if this gambling game had never happened in the capital overnight.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yuan had been away for more than 20 days, and the countdown to the New Year was approaching.

Steward Zhai brought good news that the wife of Duke Dingguo had decided to use Haofulai's cakes as wedding cakes for her daughter Mingzhu's wedding.

Especially the nine-layered cake, which was praised to the skies by Manager Zhai. The guests shared this cake that would bring them hundreds of children and grandchildren, and all the luck and fortune would be gathered on the newlyweds.

This statement was exactly what the wife of Duke Dingguo wanted, so she decided to order five thousand taels without hesitation.

Regarding the price of five thousand taels, Zhai Zizhuang was quite shocked when he asked Lin Yan about the price that day.

I was always worried that the price was too high and that my work would be in vain.

But Lin Yan vowed that the price could only be higher and not lower, and she only gave half the price for the sake of the wife of Duke Dingguo.

If you change someone, you will get 10,000 taels, not a cent less. It is the only one in the whole capital, and no one has ever seen or heard of it.

Zhai Zizhuang passed on these words verbatim to the ears of the wife of Duke Dingguo, and waited at home with trepidation. Unexpectedly, the loyal and treacherous man quickly sent back the news, and the wife of Duke Dingguo made a reservation on the spot.

Zhai Zizhuang's heart is still fluttering.

Lin Yan couldn't help but complain in her heart: "The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets!"

Money is just a number in the hands of these powerful people. Only by being unique can they show their difference from others.

I can just use this to make a lot of money, and use it to help those nobles who have too much money and have nowhere to spend it.

After this incident, Zhai Zizhuang looked at Lin Yan in a different light and thought to himself: There will be many benefits to following Master Lin.

New Year’s Eve is approaching, and the day when Zhao Yuan returns home is getting closer.

Lin Yan sighed after being pricked by needles countless times.

"Who's going to change this damn rule?"

Lin Yan looked at the weird little purse in her hand, sewing it and unsewing it again.

I had imagined embroidering a purse with a bunch of Xiangfei bamboo, but now it has become the size of an egg, and the bamboo has turned into two crooked green hairy earthworms.

"It seems a bit horrible. Can you guess what I am embroidering?" Lin Yan waved her work in the air.

Green Tea looked at it again and again, wanting to answer, but she swallowed and finally changed her words: "Master, how about I make it, and you just sew a few stitches at the end as a token of your appreciation, as long as your intention is there."

"Your words really enlightened me! It's decided. You make the purse and I'll be in charge of threading the needle for you."

"Ahem!" Master Lin's change was too fast, and Green Tea almost choked on her own saliva.

On this day, Wenbo Mansion sent someone to measure the size so that they could move the dowry.

Wenbo Mansion is a family with a title. The head of the family is named Mu Yang, who is Mu Xueli’s biological father.

Because the IQ of his descendants was average, each generation was worse than the previous one, and by the time it came to Mu Yang's generation, he could only get a fifth-grade idle position.

It was only after Mu Xueli volunteered to marry into Prince Rui's mansion that his family once again appeared in the circle of powerful people in the capital.

Although the emperor did not like his third son who was destined to kill his wife, he wanted to try his best for him since it could be changed.

Mu Yang taught his daughter well, and she was promoted to the rank of Fourth Rank Minister of Rites overnight. This made Mu Yang very proud, and he began to pay special attention to his third daughter, whom he had not liked before.

Originally, they wanted to hold a grand wedding with the help of the whole family, but the mistress of the house, Hao Lei, strongly opposed it, and her reason was very good: it was not known how long she could live after getting married.

Her contribution to the family may be limited to this. It would be safer for her to spend all her money in official circles to win over her superiors.

If she keeps a low profile from the beginning, maybe Mu Xueli can survive safely in Prince Rui's Palace.

Mu Yang thought about it and agreed. He waved his hand and took out 20,000 taels of silver to prepare for the dowry.

Mu Xueli's biological mother, Aunt Wang, hid in the room and cried for a long time. "My daughter risked her life to get my husband's wealth and glory, and he still treats my daughter like this."

Mu Xueli was the calmest one. Twenty thousand taels was ten times more than the two thousand taels she was given when she got married in her previous life.

Don’t be fooled by the large and prestigious Wenbo Mansion. Although it may look glamorous from the outside, they actually don’t have much money inside.

Mu Xueli sent her personal maid Xiang Ling over. The one who measured the size was just a greasy girl, and she came mainly to test Lin Yan's background. After all, her future financial freedom depended on her.

Manager Zhai quickly told Lin Yan the news that Xiang Ling had come to the mansion.

Green Tea and Branches were afraid that their master would be upset, so they served him carefully.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Yan was drinking fig and almond soup when she suddenly felt the room became much quieter. The usual chattering sounds suddenly disappeared.

"No, no..." Green Tea stammered and went out.

Lin Yan blinked and shook her head.
