I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.
Chapter 9: Having other thoughts
"How pitiful!" Zhao Yuan replied with a smile. No matter what, he had to transfer all the attention caused by Lin Yan to himself!
So he quickly turned around and said to Jordan with a smile: "Oh! It's amazing. Such a strong desire to survive is forced out by my bad fate of being unlucky with my wife!" On the surface, he said this to Jordan, but in fact, he was speaking to everyone present.
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter as if they had telepathic connection.
"Manager Qiao, look, our family is so poor that we have to mortgage our jewelry. I will use this last bit of money to make a living to make up the difference. I think you won't have any objection!" Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him again, Zhao Yuan deliberately looked embarrassed.
Jordan was so happy that he grinned and replied, "No problem."
Zhao Yuan took out another four thousand taels from his pocket and said, "Good things come in pairs. Add it to the six thousand taels just now and it will be ten thousand. Give me the receipt!"
"No problem!" Jordan waved his hand with a smile, asked the clerk to bring him anti-counterfeiting equipment, and issued the bill without hesitation.
Then he took out his personal seal from his pocket, blew on it, and stamped it solemnly.
I didn't expect that Zhao Yuan would be so generous to this concubine who would soon die. It's rare!
"Third brother, you are still very stingy. I thought how much you would give out?" Zhao Lei immediately started the squeeze mode and smiled jokingly.
"Aren't I poor? How can I compare with you? No, you can add a little more, thirty thousand or fifty thousand is up to you!" Zhao Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and retorted.
The corner of Zhao Lei's mouth twitched. He really thought that he had a safe at home. He was just talking big when he was not absolutely sure about something.
The seventh brother, Zhao Lei, once again looked around Lin Yan and examined her carefully.
The concubine in front of him looked at people without revealing the slightest cowardice or fear. She was clearly the kind of person who had been spoiled and cared for since childhood. Maybe the ten thousand dollars would be wasted in the end!
The others were also evaluating Lin Yan: Apart from her slightly thin figure, she looked quite healthy and had no illness. As long as she didn't get into any accidents or suffer from external harm, she could easily survive for a month!
Women died one after another in Zhao Yuan's room. This was by no means a simple coincidence or an accidental event. That was why everyone was so convinced that this woman would not survive more than a month.
The brothers knew this very well, but they could never figure out who was the real culprit behind it. They were all on guard against each other. The death of a woman was not a big deal, but the most fatal thing was to have their reputation ruined and not be eligible to inherit the throne.
After the seventh brother Zhao Lei finished his assessment, he thought to himself: If the third brother gives extra protection, the outcome of this bet will be different?
The prince's eyes glanced over vaguely, and on his jade-like oval face, a pair of handsome sword-like eyebrows made the originally delicate beauty reveal a sense of heroism. Being watched by so many people, she did not show any timidity or shyness.
Although she still lowered her head, her spine was as straight as before. She had her own ideas and remained calm in the face of danger. It was no wonder that the third brother brought such a woman out openly. I also wanted to have a woman like this by my side, maybe she could become my right-hand man.
Zhao Yuan looked at the prince vaguely, feeling extremely unhappy. He intentionally or unintentionally blocked the prince's sight with his body.
The person who was most unhappy was Lin Yan.
His well-thought-out plan was ruined by the shameless Zhao Yuan.
Shameless, so shameless. As soon as he saw there was profit to be made, he immediately turned against you. He doesn't keep his word and will go back to stab you.
I must have a good talk with him when no one is around. I can pay back his principal, and the rest must be mine. This is the guarantee of my future life, and my safe escape depends on it.
Jordan handed the written certificate to Zhao Yuan respectfully. Lin Yan could only watch pitifully. She really wanted to snatch the certificate away regardless of her image.
That was a full three hundred thousand taels of silver, an astronomical figure for her who was currently penniless. The fat duck that was about to reach her mouth flew away in such a flash. She even wanted to hit her head with a piece of tofu.
This is the highest level of interception. Lin Yan's heart was bleeding, and her face fell on the spot. She lowered her head and touched Zhao Yuan's wide sleeves lightly with a sad face.
"Brothers, my concubine is not feeling well, so I won't stay here any longer. I'll go home first." Zhao Yuan felt Lin Yan's little movement, glanced at her little face that was about to cry, and bowed to say goodbye to the brothers present.
He was the last one to arrive, but the first one to leave. Old Thirteen didn't want to go back to the palace, as the world outside was much more interesting than the palace.
He hurriedly called Zhao Yuan: "Third brother, I want to stay in your house for a while?"
"I have no problem, but you have to ask my father and Concubine Zhao first. Remember to bring your rations here, my family doesn't have much food for you." Zhao Yuan pursed his lips and said.
"No problem!" The Thirteenth Prince wanted to jump up on the spot. His father didn't care about him now. He was devoted to the virtuous concubine and showed off their love.
As long as Third Brother agrees and tells him about it, there will be no problem at all.
"Third brother, you are as stingy as ever!" The eyelids of the seventh brother Zhao Lei twitched.
He had originally wanted to take advantage of Old Thirteen's words to live in his house for a while and observe his big bet up close. But now he didn't dare to ask for anything. The meal expenses in his family were calculated by the grain of rice, and he might be blackmailed for several thousand taels for a meal.
"That's a lie. You've seen that I've spent the last of my fortune on betting. I don't have a plan for my future yet. I have to go home and work hard to earn money to support my family.
Okay, you guys can chat slowly, see you later! Anyone else who wants to visit my house, please bring your own food rations." Zhao Yuan gave everyone an unfathomable look.
Several brothers who had the same idea immediately gave up.
Zhao Yuan looked at everyone's frustrated expressions and now felt relaxed. The woman next to him was worth 300,000 taels of silver. She was like a mobile treasury.
Get in the carriage!
How could he dislike Lin Yan before? How could he like her now? Entering the carriage, he couldn't help but take Lin Yan's fair and delicate hand and stroked it gently.
"I always thought that your skin color was very similar to the color of something, and now I finally know what it is?" Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan's fair and moist hands with an intoxicated look on his face.
Lin Yan was speechless. Why did Zhao Yuan become like that after entering and leaving the gambling house? She wanted to pull her hand back, but since Zhao Yuan was holding it, she didn't dare to move.
"This is the same color as the white silver! I have decided that from now on I will never let you eat too much. You must strictly control your food intake for three meals a day! And after meals, follow me to learn a set of basic self-defense skills." Zhao Yuan put away his playful smile and said seriously.
Lin Yan has very poor motor nerves, so what she hates most is sports. Now Zhao Yuan has to arrange for her to take martial arts classes. She was already unhappy about it, and now she is even more unhappy.
"Your Highness, can you let me keep that receipt? When I get the money, I absolutely promise not to take your share." Lin Yan was really unwilling and finally mustered up the courage to speak her mind.
