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

Even if the ransom is paid this time and Yu Ge'er returns safely, who can guarantee that it won't happen again? Therefore, we must not compromise easily.

"Then can you come up with a good idea?" asked the old lady.

Lin Yuxi's eyes fell on the letter and she said slowly, "No, the only way now is to delay time. As long as you don't pay the ransom, Brother Yu will be safe for the time being."

Yingshan City is not big nor small. It is not easy to find a person hiding there. Now we can only buy more time and hope to find Lin Yu through him.

"What if they are unhappy and kill Yu'er?" Aunt Zhou became more worried the more she listened, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Don't worry about this for now. They are most likely targeting my family because we are a house full of women. They will just think that we are scared and can't control ourselves. They won't do anything to Brother Yu for now. We can take advantage of this time to think of a solution."

Lin Yuxi was somewhat confident about this. As long as the other party was after money and had their eyes on a family like them, they would never let go. So she would just drag it out and she would be able to find a solution.

After this incident, everyone in the Lin family became even more panicked. First it was the master, and now even the young master can't be saved. This family is about to fall apart.

The old lady had tears in her eyes. She didn't know what the Lin family had done to deserve such a thing to happen and why they were all crowded together. The old lady sighed heavily.

Mother Wang was the old lady's wet nurse. She had watched her grow up since she was a child. How could she not know what was bothering her? She comforted her, "Young Master will surely be blessed by heaven and will get through this. Old lady, please do not tire yourself out."

The old lady shook her head. If the Lin family fell, why would she care about her health? Although she didn't want to marry into the Lin family, she thought the old man treated her well, so she was grateful. She sighed again, "If Yuxi was a boy, then the Lin family would have hope."

Thinking about how Lin Yuxi remained calm and strategic today, she felt that she could not compare to her. She was only fourteen years old and had never left the house for many years, so it was not easy for her to have such insight.

Mother Wang also looked at Lin Yuxi differently, and echoed from the side: "What the old lady said is exactly, I think she is becoming more and more like the master."

Thinking of Master Lin, the old lady turned all her words into a long sigh that lasted for a long time.

After Lin Yuxi returned to Xiyuan, she didn't care about anything else. She sent everyone away and locked herself in the room. She walked to the window, hoping that the other person would be there too.

Lin Yuxi was at her wits' end. If she encountered such a thing in modern times, she could still use her second brother's men to secretly investigate, but this was ancient times, and she was a girl who never left the house. The only people she knew were maids and servants, and there was no one she could use.

The only person she thought of was Yang Chenchuan. She was not a stubborn person, nor was she a stingy person who was reluctant to ask for help. The officials could not be alarmed for the time being, but she could ask Yang Chenchuan to spy on her.

The sword-wielding man's mission was to protect Lin Yuxi, so naturally he would be wherever she was. He had also heard about Lin Yu's kidnapping, and knew that Lin Yuxi must have come to him for this matter, so he agreed without hesitation and immediately set off to report the matter to the young master.

On this day, time passed particularly slowly. Everyone gathered in the front hall and did not dare to leave easily. Even at mealtime, everyone had no appetite. The closer it was to the time to pay the ransom, the more uneasy they became.

After finally getting through the night, when the doorman opened the door the next day, he found a letter stuck in the door. The doorman also knew that the young master had been kidnapped, so he was so scared that he immediately ran to Songhe Hall and insisted on handing the letter to the old lady, not caring whether she was awake or not.

With such a big thing happening, how many people would really sleep as if nothing had happened? As soon as they got the news, they rushed to Songhetang.

This time there was not only a letter, but also a jade pendant. Aunt Zhou recognized it as Lin Yu's jade pendant at a glance. She still remembered that it was given to Yu Ge'er by the master himself. There was also a small bunch of hair. Aunt Zhou's heart tightened when she saw it, and she cried and shouted and made a fuss.

The hair on our body is given by our parents. The ancients attached great importance to hair and would never cut it easily.

Lin Yuxi looked at the letter and guessed that their actions yesterday had angered the kidnappers. They threatened that if they didn't pay the ransom, the hostages would be killed. They also threatened that if they didn't report to the police, they would be separated.

Aunt Zhou threw herself on Lin Yuxi, crying and scolding her, saying that she shouldn't have listened to her. If the ransom had been paid yesterday, Yu Ge'er might have come back. Now no one knew where he was and what kind of suffering he was going through.

She hated herself for not being able to save Yu Ge'er, so she vented all her anger on Lin Yuxi:

"How can you be so vicious? Brother Yu was bullied in the academy, but you didn't help comfort him. Instead, you scolded him. You taught him bad things. What martial arts do you, a girl, know? If you hadn't taught him, would he have challenged others? No! Then he wouldn't be unhappy, and he wouldn't have been kidnapped. It's all your fault. I thought you were doing it for Brother Yu's good and wanted to make him the boss. It turns out you had other plans. Do you think that after Brother Yu died, the Lin family can be controlled by you? You are delusional!"

Lin Yuxi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. No wonder those masters of palace fighting said that only the dead could keep secrets. She really experienced it today. She felt embarrassed when she was told in public that she knew martial arts.

At the same time, Aunt Zhou's fabricated words pushed her to the top of the wave again.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking frightened.

Lin Yuxi knows martial arts?

This was like a bomb that exploded in everyone's mind. Everyone knew Lin Yuxi's past. She was tortured by her wife and almost lost her life. Now that it was said that she knew martial arts, all kinds of suspicions followed.

Who taught her?

Liu remembered what Han's mother said a few days ago, saying that she heard a man's voice coming from Lin Yuxi's room. She didn't believe it at first, and asked Han's mother to keep a close eye on her. As a result, Han's mother said for many days that she didn't notice anything. At that time, she became suspicious, and didn't know that Lin Yuxi was really hooking up with men and learning martial arts.

What is this called? If she didn't want others to know, she had better not do it. She was still annoyed that she couldn't catch any handle on her, but now she ran into him herself and sought her own death.

So, the topic suddenly shifted from Lin Yu to Lin Yuxi. The old lady was obviously surprised and looked at Lin Yuxi in confusion.

Lin Yuxi really wanted to hold her forehead with her hand. Maybe she should also learn how to kill people to silence them? What a trouble.

"Mrs. Zhou, please stop talking nonsense..."
