I just want to rob you of your luck

Nangong Yi hesitated and did not take the banknote. There was a question on his handsome face: "It is my duty to do things for the young lady. The young lady has already given me a farm. I can't accept your banknotes anymore."

Lin Jiuer walked closer, took his hand and stuffed the banknote directly into his hand.

"Just take it if I tell you to. If this goes well, there will be a reward for you."

"But this is too much. I really don't deserve it."

This guy is quite principled. Lin Jiuer knew that he was in urgent need of money to support his subordinates, so she arranged a task for him specifically, which was obviously to give him money.

In the end, he still didn't want it! Lin Jiuer glared:

"Are you disobeying my orders? I have so much money that I can't spend it all. I can reward whoever I want. Don't be so ungrateful!"

In the end, Nangong Yi had no choice but to obediently accept the silver note worth one thousand taels.

Lin Jiuer was speechless. Could this person be a bit masochistic? He didn't listen to kind words, but had to speak harshly to me.

Could it be that he actually likes being whipped? Lin Jiuer thought, stroking her chin.

How about giving him a try next time? Why do I feel a little excited when I think about this?

She looked at Nangong Yi's somewhat humiliated expression and chuckled, "You've worked hard today, go back and have a rest."

After Nangong Yi left, she asked Xing'er to bring him a plate of water chestnut cake that she had made.

Nangong Yi returned to his room and looked at the silver note of one thousand taels, feeling mixed emotions. He was very happy today and he went to see the farm.

The farm is located at the foot of a mountain, with a large yard and 200 acres of fertile land. At least his people can be self-sufficient in food.

Moreover, the location is secluded and backed by mountains, making it a very good place to live. It is also not far from Shengjing, making travel very convenient.

Lin Jiuer can be said to have helped him a lot this time. She asked him to deliver a letter to the General's Mansion today.

In the letter, Lin Jiuer told her plan and wanted to ask her aunt if she could find a way to get Prime Minister Lin to Tianxiang Tower. She knew that her aunt's brother knew many colleagues and had a good relationship with Prime Minister Lin.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Lin was called out in the afternoon.

Then he asked Nangong Yi to go to the most famous brothel in Shengjing, Tianxiang Tower, to find an courtesan named Yuyao and tell her that if she could find a way to hook up with Prime Minister Lin, she would save her brother.

Although Nangong Yi didn't understand Lin Jiuer's approach, he still did as she gave him because of the farm she gave him.

He didn't expect that after he came back, Lin Jiuer would give him so much silver again. He had always wanted to improve the food of his subordinates, but he faked his death and escaped, and he hardly had any valuables with him.

In the past few years, his grandfather secretly helped him and almost emptied the Shen family. Later, his grandfather died and there were not many people left in the Shen family, so he could only do some work with his brothers to make a living.

It’s quite ironic when you think about it. He is the queen’s legitimate son of a noble status, but his life is worse than that of children from ordinary families.

He had to hide from place to place for fear that his identity would be discovered and bring about a catastrophic disaster.

Fortunately, he saved Prime Minister Lin by chance, and he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, which provided him with a safe hiding place.

Now he was really unsure of what kind of person Lin Jiuer was. She had been so bad to him before, but now she was so cruel to him. It was like two different extremes.

Just as I was thinking about my troubles, there was a knock on the door.

He put away the banknote, walked over and opened the door.

"Shen Yi, these are the snacks and Tremella and Lily porridge that the young lady ordered to be sent to you."

Shen Yi took the tray, said thank you and went in.

He walked to the table, put down the tray, picked up the water chestnut cake and took a bite, missing his mother who was so gentle and doting on him.

In a short while, he finished the plate of snacks and the bowl of porridge.

After he finished washing up and lay on the bed, he felt a sense of gratitude towards Lin Jiuer for the first time.

Regardless of whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, at this moment he felt calmer and more stable than ever before.

At night, Ruofeng came to report that Prime Minister Lin and Aunt Liu had a quarrel.

Lin Jiuer specifically asked Ruofeng to monitor the front yard today.

Prime Minister Lin was slightly tipsy and had a one-night stand with the courtesan. The feeling was truly intoxicating, and he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion feeling very proud.

As a result, he saw Aunt Liu waiting for him in his yard.

Aunt Liu originally wanted to come here to complain and seduce Lin Jiuer, but she discovered the strawberry mark on Prime Minister Lin’s neck.

And with the scent of makeup on her body, she used to hang out in brothels when she was young, so she immediately guessed where Prime Minister Lin had gone today.

For so many years, Prime Minister Lin had only had her as his first wife, and she had always been confident that Prime Minister Lin loved her very much.

As a result, Prime Minister Lin was like a slap in her face today. She couldn't hold back her tears and angrily shouted:

"Lin Xiuyuan, I have followed you without any status for more than ten years. I don't know how much suffering I have endured and how many people looked down upon me. I thought you were a man with a conscience and took me back because you wanted me to live a better life.

Who would have thought that there is an evil star in your family who enjoys torturing us mother and daughter every day. It would be fine if you just ignored her, but now she has learned to go to brothels.

All my efforts over the years are just a joke. Are you worthy of us, mother and daughter?"

Lin Xiuyuan frowned, and his originally good mood disappeared. How could Liu become like this?

He loved her in the past because he felt that she was his confidant. She was gentle as water, considerate, and good at serving others.

This was something his original wife Helan did not have. In front of her, he regained his dignity as a man. She agreed with everything he said and respected him in everything.

Therefore, he had always treated her well, and felt that he owed her for not giving her a legitimate status. Otherwise, he would not have brought her and her daughter into his house as soon as his first wife died.

However, the mother and daughter's personalities changed as soon as they entered the mansion, and they quarreled with Lin Jiuer every day.

Every day when he came back from court, he had some official business to attend to, but he often had to deal with these household chores first, which was really annoying.

Thinking of this, he said impatiently:

"I'm tired. I need to go take a rest. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."

Aunt Liu looked at Lin Xiuyuan in disbelief, as if she was looking at an unforgivable ungrateful person.

"Lin Xiuyuan, you went out to drink and have sex with prostitutes, did you get any credit for that? And you came back and treated me like this?

"I have served you for so many years, and even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. Now that you have achieved success, are you actually going to abandon your wife who has endured the hardships of life?"

It has to be said that Lin Ruoshui has almost brainwashed her. She actually now really thinks that since she met Lin Xiuyuan first, she is his original wife.

Lin Xiuyuan was also a little annoyed. He just wanted to rest, but this woman kept pestering him. What was she talking about?

Even though he still likes her, Helan is the only wife in his heart. Isn't Liu a little too self-righteous?

"Liu, you have to understand that you are just a concubine. I owed you in the past, but now I have brought you into the prime minister's residence and given you the status of a concubine. What else do you want?

Because of bringing you into the government, I can't even hold my head up in front of my colleagues. Am I not good enough to you?

And don't worry about my affairs, just take care of you and your daughter, and don't cause any more trouble for me."

These words were like a bucket of cold water that suddenly woke Aunt Liu up. She was a little careless. The angry words she said before were simply taboos when trying to coax a man.

She hadn't even become the prime minister's wife yet, so how could she lose his favor first? She resumed her gentle and charming look, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Master, please don't be angry. I was bullied by the eldest lady today, so I got angry and contradicted you. It's all my fault. I will help you wash and rest now."
