Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Ji is not as smart as he was in his previous life.

At that time, he was clearly pretending very well. They were together day and night, and even he himself couldn't tell that he had feelings for Lin Yu.

Now, look what happened. A few days ago, he blatantly carried Lin Yu back to her yard.

Now I am the only eyes and ears in this family, but who knows what will happen in the future?

Back to the Lin couple's mess, she didn't understand it in the first place and was not interested in it.

He only vaguely knew that something was wrong with Lin Jianchang's body and suspected that Lin Yu was stolen by Ruan and someone else.

The man seized this weakness and then found loopholes in his business, forcing him to surrender, marry off his "daughter", and give up all his belongings.

It seems simpler now.

Since the madman likes the little rabbit, and the little rabbit is the daughter of Lin Jianchang, why not just marry the little rabbit?

At that time, this family property will still be regarded as a dowry.

Wan Ying didn't worry about him at all, she only worried about herself.

If she were asked to summarize her time with Lin Ji, it would come out like a new word she had learned: unimpressive.

She heard the maids talking about Ruan when she passed by the front yard.

That night, she cheered herself up and prepared to look for Lin Ji again, but was stopped outside Qihe Hall early.

"The young master has important matters to attend to, and he has asked that no one should disturb him."

Wan Ying looked inside from afar and saw Qingdai waiting in the yard beside Lin Yu.

"I'll just wait here, okay?"

The boy was speechless.

Lin Yu has recently liked Qihe Hall. At first, he thought it was too empty and the layout was not sophisticated enough, but now it seems that its simple design is quite pleasing to the eye.

Lin Ji was analyzing her father's situation. "The Lin family's business is huge, but my father has no brothers or sisters, so it's naturally tiring for him to manage it alone."

"So over the past twenty years, Uncle Qi has been managing many shops and farms, and there have been almost no mistakes."

"Father also knew that if he suddenly needed to replace someone, he wouldn't be able to find someone as capable as Uncle Qi, nor would he be as trustworthy as Uncle Qi, so he didn't mention anything about Uncle Qi."

Lin Yu sighed heavily.

"It's so round and round, I can guess a building in my mind, but I can't even spit out a brick from my mouth."

Lin Ji pursed his lips and said, "Most people who want to achieve great things are like this."

"Really annoying."

There was a plate of fried peaches in front of him. Lin Yu pinched a piece and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth without any hesitation.

His cheeks puffed up, and the aroma and sweetness of peach spread in his mouth, and Lin Yu felt a little better.

Sure enough, when you are unhappy, you still need to eat something sweet.

It was almost time for her to fall asleep. Seeing her movements, Lin Ji couldn't help but remind her: "Remember to rinse your mouth well before going to bed."

She has loved sweets since she was a child, and when she got a cavity, she would cover her face and cry loudly.

Fortunately, people have two sets of teeth. Later, the bad teeth fell out and new ones grew.

She opened her pink lips and pointed at her new white teeth and said to him, "Look, brother, the new ones are very beautiful."

There was an oil lamp on the table, softly outlining her face.

Lin Ji suddenly wondered what that tooth looked like now.

Lin Yu swallowed the preserved fruit in his mouth and raised his head, saying, "I know, I'm not a child anymore."

But she found that he was standing in front of the window, with the bright moon slanting behind him, and his usually cold and dark eyes reflected the firelight and fixed on her.

Lin Yu suddenly felt something strange.

It was obvious that he came back late and I was afraid that he would be tired, so I took the initiative to run over to listen to him.

At this moment, four big words popped up in my head: a single man and a single woman.

His followers and his maidservants were left outside.

When he looked at her like this, Lin Yu inappropriately thought of the warehouse that day.

He kissed himself.

No one has ever kissed me.

Since I couldn't see anything at the time, my body's perception was more acute than usual.

She remembered that her head was held down first, and then her back was pressed against the wall, and her lips were bitten.

It was very painful, and she must have wanted to scream, but someone blocked her mouth.

His hands were long and slender. When he held her cheeks, his fingertips could reach behind her neck and rub her, making her feel hot and itchy.

No!

Lin Yu stood up suddenly.

The man still stood by the window, looking serious, and asked, "Are you full?"

She nodded.

I wanted to go back immediately, but then I remembered that he had told me all these things and we hadn't come up with a solution yet.

"Have you found out who was behind Ying that night?"

Speaking of this, Lin Ji also came out of his reverie and shook his head slowly.

His men had spotted the man coming and going secretly several times, but that person had a ghostly figure and was wearing night clothes. If they were not careful, he would disappear into the night sky like smoke, making it difficult to track him.

And before that person surfaces, Wan Ying, it is best not to move.

If she were thrown into prison and tortured, not to mention that it would be difficult to get anything out of her, that person would simply give up this chess piece.

Lin Yu also thought of Wan Ying.

Thinking of her stern warning, the Fifth Prince refused to say more.

But seeing that Lin Ji had made no progress, she still said, "Did you see the prince in the palace during your visit to the capital?"

Lin Ji did not suspect anything and said truthfully: "I met the prince when I was accompanying him."

"Oh, the prince." She asked as if she was chatting with someone, "How many princes are there in the palace?"

"Four."

"Four?"

Lin Yu suspected that he had heard it wrong. After all, the possibility that Lin Ji had said something wrong was smaller.

There are only four princes, so where did the fifth prince come from?

"The current emperor originally had seven sons. The fifth prince was expelled from the palace because of his biological mother. The sixth and seventh princes both died of illness in the early years."

After listening to this, Lin Yu didn't speak for a long time.

She always thought that the prince should live in the palace.

Today, Lin Ji told him that the fifth prince was actually outside the palace.

"Where was he sent?"

Lin Ji had just said a lot, and it took a little reaction for him to realize that she was asking about the fifth prince who was expelled from the palace.

"I don't know, but it must be a secluded place for self-cultivation and self-improvement."

She seemed to know why the Fifth Prince took a fancy to the Lin family.

The Lin family has money, lots and lots of money.

If he, a prince with no power, married the daughter of the Lin family, he could accomplish many things with that "dowry".

"elder brother."

Lin Yu hadn't called him like this for a long time. At this moment, she stood at the table in a daze, not knowing what she was worried about, her thoughts were all written on her face.

This call made Lin Ji's heart soften, and he unconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Then tell me, what if the fifth prince wants to go back to the palace and wants to... become the emperor?" She also knew that such things were not easy to discuss, so she uttered the last two words so softly that only the sound of a breath could be heard.

Lin Ji gradually frowned.

Then the little girl asked, "Is there any way to get him back to the palace?"

This is going too far.

What's more, what she asked was a very big question, which was not something a girl waiting to be married should think about or even ask out loud.

"How did you think of this?" So he asked instead of answering.
