Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

That's it. What's the use of having a good family background?

Still being someone's mistress, Chen Ying'er understood the meaning behind Yang Chenchuan's words, and her face immediately felt hot, her ears were almost burned, and a few tears dripped from her eyes.

The old lady glanced at the two of them, feeling that what Yang Chenchuan said was too unkind, but she couldn't find any fault with him, and her breath got stuck in her throat.

Lin Yuxi looked at him lovingly, then shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and said to the old lady:

"Grandmother, I know that I was born in a humble family. I also know that I cannot be compared with Miss Chen. No matter what Miss Chen is like, she is still superior to me. Yuxi was terrified and did not dare to stand above Miss Chen, so Yuxi asked to leave the family and Miss Chen became the principal wife. As for me... whether I am the wife or the concubine, Yuxi has no complaints."

When Lin Yuxi said this, some people were happy and some were worried. The one who was worried was of course the Second Wife. How could someone be so stupid as to voluntarily demote herself from wife to concubine? Lin Yuxi was the daughter-in-law she had chosen herself, and she was extremely satisfied with her.

She had started out as the legal wife and then became the concubine. She knew the ups and downs of that experience best. How could she let her daughter-in-law follow her old path?

"No, I object!" The second lady held her hand and said firmly.

Yang Chenchuan's eyes also sank. She had never discussed this with him before. How dare this little woman play such a joke on him? A hint of anger rose in his heart.

The old lady's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Yuxi with a different eye, thinking that she was a person who knew how to adapt to the times and retreat when faced with difficulties, and had self-knowledge.

Of course she agreed to Lin Yuxi's promise to make her the principal wife. She was still worrying about how to explain this to County Magistrate Chen and Madam Chen, but now she has saved herself the trouble.

Lin Yuxi ignored the Second Madam's objection and continued, "However, Yuxi is so bold as to ask the old lady to grant me one request."

The old lady raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

"I heard that Miss Chen is getting married, and County Magistrate Chen has promised to give Miss Chen a dowry of 100,000. Yuxi only asks the old lady to ensure that the 100,000 red dowry will all belong to my husband. My husband will pursue a career in the government. Although my family is a merchant, I am a concubine after all, and I don't have much dowry when I get married. I will have to give a lot of money to my husband to open up his official career in the future. Yuxi doesn't ask for anything, just that the 100,000 dowry can be given to my husband, and then Yuxi will give up the position of the main wife. Miss Chen, what do you think?"

Lin Yuxi's words shocked everyone again. It was not because of her selflessness in giving Yang Chenchuan a position as the principal wife in exchange for a dowry of 100,000, but because of her disdain for her.

Especially the eldest lady, who was born into a humble merchant family and was a concubine's daughter. She was blinded by money. She thought that if she asked for a dowry of 100,000 for Yang Chenchuan, he would accept her favor.

When he becomes successful in the future, there will be no shortage of women around him. Let's see whether he will still remember her kindness.

From being a wife to being a concubine, you can know how this path is just by looking at the Second Master.

To be honest, Chen Ying'er was moved, but she was also really scared. She was afraid that it was a trick played by Lin Yuxi, so she looked at Yang Chenchuan hesitantly.

I thought if I didn't agree, would he think that I didn't really like him?

However, his attitude just now really hurt her, his indifference to herself.

At first, I thought she had made progress, but I didn’t expect that she came here with someone else’s dowry. Although in her opinion, Chen Ying’er’s dowry would belong to Yang Chenchuan in the future, but she openly begged for it. If it got out, how would others view her Yang family?

She coveted the other party's dowry before they even made up their minds. No matter if she was really doing it for Yang Chenchuan or for herself, she would never allow such a thing to happen, the old lady was slightly angry and scolded.

"Nonsense! Can you imagine the Chen family's dowry? If your words spread to the Chen family, how will my Yang family explain? This matter cannot be discussed any further."

Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, looked at the old lady with a frustrated look, and stammered: "But... Looking at the entire Mingde City, there are only a handful of people who can have a dowry of 100,000. What's more, Miss Chen is of noble status, and the granddaughter-in-law is also afraid..."

Afraid of being coveted by others, the eldest lady's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot when she heard this. Wasn't it obvious that Yang Chenxi was targeting Chen Ying'er because of the dowry? It was obvious that he was trying to steal the dowry.

How petty! She thought everyone was as shallow-minded as she was, and would be tempted by money?

The lady became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it.

Of course the old lady heard it, and she still said with a sullen face: "Okay, I've said it before, this matter is not for discussion anymore."

Lin Yuxi curled her lips and pursed them tightly, but she was complaining in her heart, "If you ask me to tell you, I'm too lazy to tell you."

It's really annoying that she schemes against others and still expects them to be grateful to her.

In the end, the matter was over. Chen Ying'er, with red eyes, followed the old lady and the first lady and left.

Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan repeatedly assured the Second Madam that they had already planned a way out and would definitely not marry Chen Ying'er. Only then did the Second Madam let them go back.

After returning to Tingyu Pavilion, Yang Chenchuan immediately taught this ignorant little girl a lesson for daring to speak so brazenly in front of her elders. He knew that she was just delaying the attack, but he was still indescribably angry in his heart.

In the end, of course, he stopped only after Lin Yuxi begged for mercy, and only after getting her assurance did Yang Chenchuan reluctantly let her go.

Next, Yang Chenchuan interrogated Liangchen. At first, Liangchen still refused to admit it. Later, he asked Mo Yan to find four or five bodyguards in the brothel.

What are you looking for a brothel guard for?

Anyone with a discerning eye would understand it at a glance, there’s no need to say it out loud, Liangchen is really scared.

She never thought that the young master would treat her so cruelly. She was already covered in wounds, and if a few more men came to destroy her reputation, he really didn't want her to live.

Anyway, in the end, Liangchen confessed, and Lin Yuxi never expected that the person who made Liangchen commit the murder was actually Liu.

She couldn't help but find it ridiculous. Liu's hand really reached far. How much did she hate her that she actually did such a cruel thing. Her purpose was just to make her life miserable.

However, Liu had never had much friendship with the Yang family, and she didn't even know all the people in the Yang Mansion, let alone persuade Yang Chenchuan's people to harm the mistress. If caught, it would be a capital crime.

Of course, another person was involved in this, it was Chunlan. It was Chunlan who brought Liu and Liangchen together.

On that day, Liu bumped into the Second Madam and went to her courtyard to drink tea, during which they talked about how to deal with Lin Yuxi.

The Second Madam was angry at Lin Yuxi because of the Second Lady's affairs, but Liu hated Lin Yuxi to the core. The two hit it off immediately, and Liangchen was the Second Madam's man, which Lin Yuxi thought was acceptable. The only thing she couldn't understand was Chunlan.

Since Chunlan followed her, she believed that she had never treated her badly. She was usually very well-behaved and smart, and she liked this girl very much.

But, I really didn't expect that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Many people are like this. You treat them with all your heart, but they turn around and hurt you. Lin Yuxi couldn't help but reflect on herself.

What she didn't expect was that the reason why Liu did this was entirely because of Chen Ying'er. It was because she asked County Magistrate Chen to release Lin Yuhe that she stood on the same side as Chen Ying'er.

But even if Lin Yuxi knew, she would not feel regret or sadness. It was an indisputable fact that Liu hated her. It was not the first or second time that she had done something sinister to her. Since she had done it before, what would it matter if she did it once more?
