After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

Grandpa Lin coughed softly, and found it a little funny to see Goudan so anxious. He said in a doting tone, "Grandpa Lin, it's okay. Don't fall, Goudan."

The voice was so gentle that you wouldn't guess he was someone who would curse.

Shen Chu looked quietly at the old man not far away, and suddenly said, "Grandpa Lin, I came here today because I want to ask you for help."

She didn't say anything else and went straight to the point.

No words of greeting were exchanged.

Although it was a bit too direct, it was better than chatting for so long and then being kicked out.

The old man walked to a recliner with a cane in his hand, sat down, and touched his gray beard.

"Everyone who comes here has something to ask me, an old man. What do you want to ask me for help, little girl?"

He spoke at a moderate pace, his cloudy eyes fixed on Shen Chu.

Under the other party's gaze, Shen Chu's voice remained steady. After a while, he finally spoke, "I heard that Mr. Lin is proficient in construction. I would like to ask him to come out and teach his craftsmen how to repair the house that has collapsed due to rain erosion."

"There's no need for Elder Lin to do it himself. All he needs is for Elder Lin to guide him from the side."

After saying this, Shen Chu added another sentence for fear that Mr. Lin might misunderstand.

Hearing Shen Chu say this, an understanding look appeared on Old Lin's face.

No surprise.

He had guessed this a long time ago.

Recently, many people have come to see him in Yancheng. In addition to those from the government, there are also some wealthy businessmen.

But Mr. Lin was unwilling to help.

Just offer a high price to persuade these people to leave.

But today, he felt particularly friendly towards the little girl in front of him, and inexplicably wanted to agree to her request.

But before agreeing, Mr. Lin still offered a high price as usual, trying to test whether the other party really wanted to invite him out of retirement.

"My price, I'm afraid a little girl like you can't afford it."

The old man's voice was a bit intriguing. Shen Chu was stared at like this, but his expression remained unchanged. He just asked Lin Lao, "Mr. Lin hasn't made an offer yet, how do you know I can't afford it?"

Shen Chu's voice was particularly firm, and he successfully won a smile from Mr. Lin.

Sitting on a worn recliner, Elder Lin's voice was tinged with laughter. "One or two taels of gold, can you afford it, little girl?"

I thought I would see expressions of shock and disgust on Shen Chu's face, but Mr. Lin was wrong.

Not only did he not show an expression of shock and disgust, but after he finished speaking, a smile appeared on Shen Chu's face.

Yes, Shen Chu was not angry at all, and even smiled because of his words.

"It's totally worth it to be able to invite Elder Lin to come out of seclusion for only one or two gold coins."

She stood up straight, her eyes raised, and there was an intriguing smile in her voice.

Just from this one sentence, Mr. Lin could tell something was wrong.

He straightened up, holding his cane tightly in his hands.

It is called a crutch, but in fact it is just a discarded bamboo stick that was picked up by Mr. Lin and used as a crutch.

His bony hands tightly grasped the cane in his hands, and his voice began to become serious, "Who are you?"

The friendliness that was on Mr. Lin just now disappeared without a trace after he said this, leaving only questioning and seriousness.

Shen Chu stared at him, without a trace of fear in his eyes, and said calmly, "I am the daughter of the Minister of Revenue."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Shu and Goudan, who was standing next to Old Lin, both opened their eyes wide.

There was confusion in Yun Shu's eyes. She didn't understand why Shen Chu told the other party his identity truthfully.

What should we do if this matter gets reported back to the capital?

He tightened his grip on the sword and made a note of this.

I must tell His Highness about this.

The decision is entirely up to Your Highness.

Shen Chu had already guessed what Yun Shu would do, so she didn't care about it. She only cared about Mr. Lin's attitude.

Are you going to kick me out like this, or what?

Goudan looked back and forth between Old Lin and Shen Chu with a look of doubt and uncertainty, wanting to know what Grandpa Lin would do.

And, my sister is actually the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?!

He had learned from his father that the Minister of Revenue was an important official of the country!

Doesn’t that mean that my sister’s identity is also extraordinary?

Goudan used some strength in his hands and bit his lower lip hard with his teeth.

"Are you the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?"

After a long silence, Shen Chu finally got a response from Mr. Lin.

It wasn't as intense as I'd imagined, but I could tell something was being suppressed in his voice.

What exactly is it?

Nobody knows.

But Shen Chu answered Mr. Lin's question, "Yes, I am the daughter of the Minister of Revenue."

Shen Chu's voice was particularly firm, and he spoke every word clearly, and his eyes were also surprisingly firm.

"No, she told Mr. Lin just like that? Will it work?"

When Fu Jinnian saw this, he couldn't help but ask Xu San beside him, his voice full of confusion.

He and Xu San were on a big tree not far from Old Lin's yard. The tree must have been many years old and could easily bear the weight of both of them.

Zhuifeng has very good hearing and can still hear the conversation in the courtyard even when standing under the tree.

The three of them had been guarding here long before Shen Chu arrived.

Fu Jinnian didn't understand why they had to be so secretive, but this was Xu San's request. If he didn't do as Xu San said, he couldn't follow Xu San.

Fu Jinnian had no choice but to do this.

After listening for a long time, Fu Jinnian's eyes widened when he suddenly heard Shen Chu tell Mr. Lin his identity.

I suppressed the shock in my heart and continued listening.

Too bad, he couldn't help it.

So, he went straight to Xu San beside him for the answer.

Unfortunately, Xu San didn't know why Shen Chu did this.

So he just glanced at Fu Jinnian lightly, and then continued to listen to the conversation between Shen Chu and the others.

Don't even mention how calm I am.

This made Fu Jinnian feel a little depressed.

Aren't you curious about this?

-

After Shen Chu repeated what he had just said, Elder Lin stood up and pointed the bamboo stick at Shen Chu with a trembling voice, "Get out! Get out!"

"Even if I were to give you ten thousand taels of gold, I wouldn't do you any favors!"

"Cough, cough, cough,..."

After shouting these two sentences, Old Lin couldn't stop coughing, and his cough was so heart-wrenching that he couldn't help frowning just looking at Shen Chu.

Why are you coughing so badly?

Are you that angry?

She is an official, but she is willing to pay him to come out of retirement.

Shen Chu took out the medicine bottle he carried with him, poured out a pill and handed it to Goudan, indicating that Goudan should feed it to Mr. Lin.

After taking the pill handed to him by Shen Chu, Goudan was about to take action. Just as he was about to pry open Old Lin's mouth to feed him the medicine, the medicine in his hand was slapped away by Old Lin!

"Take your medicine away! I won't take it even if I die here!"
