No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

When Lin Mingyan returned to Linfengju, she lay on the chaise longue, and Dujuan was peeling grapes for her to eat.

This was the new offering this year. The front yard received the Fourth Master's share and gave half of it to her.

"These grapes are really sweet." Lin Mingyan had never eaten such delicious grapes in her previous life.

Du Juan laughed as she peeled the fruit: "This is a tribute from Turpan. There are some in the backyard, the main courtyard, and your place."

"I heard from Gao Ziliang that the Fourth Master had taken this into consideration when he wrote back last time. He asked him to divide all the entitlements into two parts, one for the main courtyard and the other for you."

In fact, she said that the one given to the princess was her true love.

As for what was given to the main courtyard, it was because of the etiquette and laws, there was nothing we could do about it.

Lin Mingyan didn’t think too much about it, but while eating such sweet and delicious grapes, she couldn’t help but think of the Fourth Master.

The corridor at the back was also built for her by the Fourth Master. She went there specifically for a walk when it rained a few days ago and didn't get wet at all.

Instead, I was fascinated by the corridor under the rain, and had a lot of fun walking around.

The small artificial lake has also been enclosed in Linfengju, and there is a large field of lotus flowers in it, which are in full bloom at this time.

It can be said that among the entire backyard, except for the main courtyard, Linfengju is the largest and has the best scenery.

The main courtyard is actually equipped with many functional rooms. Although it is a little bigger, it is far less comfortable than Linfengju.

The Fourth Master's obvious preference~

Lin Mingyan happily ate another bunch of grapes!

Du Juan chatted with her for a few words and then said, "Mrs. Lin has come twice again, saying that the old lady of the Lin family is seriously ill. Would you like to see her, Princess?"

Ever since Wang Jingcheng got married, the Wang family and the Lin family have cut off contact.

The old lady of the Lin family was so angry that she was bedridden and all the money for medicine was spent.

Lin Bo has no job yet, and the only income for his family is some land.

In the past, with Wang Jingcheng, the future son-in-law, to help her, she could still live a life of ordering servants around.

Now the whole family has to rely on the old lady's dowry to survive.

Lin Mingzhen was unwilling to live like this, so she shamelessly came to the Prince's Mansion to find Lin Mingyan.

"No~" Lin Mingyan could never see the Lin family again.

She even sent people to Xilin Jueluo Mansion to inform them not to have any contact with the Lin family.

Lin Mingheng has been opinionated since he was young. Now that he has a job, he has the final say at home and outside, and he will not pay any attention to the Lin family.

It's just that Xilin Jueluo is a little too soft-hearted. If the Lin family came to her in the name of the old lady, she would probably do her best to be filial to her deceased husband.

Lin Mingyan sat up suddenly: "You ask Su He to go to Xilin Jueluo Mansion again, and... let my mother go to the farm to help look after it."

In fact, the Wenquan Manor was well managed by Tong, but in order to divert Xilin Jueluo's attention, it was better to ask her to go there.

"It would be good for the old lady to go for recuperation. Soaking in hot springs in summer is good for many winter diseases," Dujuan nodded and suggested.

However, Lin Mingyan understood Xilin Jueluo. As long as she was still able to move, she would not want to rest and would worry about the family.

So if you ask her to go to the hot spring resort for recuperation, she will definitely not go back.

She thought about it and came up with an idea: "I'll just say I'm brewing wine on the farm and ask my mother to check it out."

Xilin Jueluo knew how to brew wine. When she was at her mother's house, she would brew wine for her father to drink.

Later, when Lin Mingyan came, when they couldn't make ends meet, they would secretly brew some wine and sell it to supplement the family income.

It’s a pity that bannermen are not allowed to do business, otherwise she could have lived a good life with her own hands.

She is now running a winery and wants Xilin Jueluo to help Tong make wine, which will be a good opportunity to distribute dividends to her family.

"Yes," Dujuan called Linglan and asked her to instruct Suhe.

By the way, let her go to the gatehouse to send Lin Mingzhen away and kick her out.

Linglan went there eagerly, looking at the tanned Lin Mingzhen and said, "Oh, where did this country woman come from?"

Then he looked at the doorman and said, "You too, what's there to report?"

"Does this person resemble our princess in the slightest? He's not even as good as one of her toes, okay?"

Lin Mingzhen defended herself: "I am Lin Mingyan's cousin. You have clearly seen me. I am looking for..."

"Crack~"

Before she could finish her words, Linglan slapped her in the face.

He glared at her and said, "You think you can say our princess's name?!"

"Someone, throw her out here. From now on, whenever she comes to my house, she will be beaten up!"

What a relief!

Linglan rubbed her numb hands and watched Lin Mingzhen return empty-handed.

Lin Mingzhen was so angry that she almost exploded. She went home and just focused on healing the wounds on her face.

After a few days, he was still unwilling to give up, so he asked Hu to join him.

He shamelessly ran to Xilin Jueluo Mansion, trying to take advantage of this weak aunt.

However, Xilin Jueluo was no longer in the mansion, so Lin Mingheng settled all the old and new grudges and ordered his soldiers to beat the man up and throw him out.

The two of them went home crying, and Lin Bo couldn't sit still at all.

Lin Mingzhen even blamed him: "Father, it's all your fault!"

"You said that being associated with Lin Mingyan would bring great wealth, but what is the reality?"

"Ever since I went to Lin Mingyan's place, my marriage plans have been ruined, and all my family's belongings are gone."

"Now that grandma is sick, the Wang family won't even cover the medical expenses. Our little savings will be gone in a few days!"

She was truly terrified.

She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, and finding a husband like her cousin was already marrying up.

Now that her cousin is gone and her family is getting worse and worse, who can she marry?

Lin Bo's expression also turned grim. "Mingzhen, tell me... Does Lin Mingyan really not care about the Lin family at all?"

In fact, when that person contacted him, it was not to tell him how well Lin Mingyan was doing.

He was not a fool. That person clearly wanted to use him to bring down Lin Mingyan.

But he thought that since he could benefit from Lin Mingyan, why should he let others benefit?

It now seems that no benefit can be squeezed out of Lin Mingyan.

"Father, don't be silly," Lin Mingzhen gulped down a large bowl of tea and said viciously, "Not only will she not help us, she will also add insult to injury and trample us into the mud."

Isn’t this the case with my cousin?

When she thought about how that bitch had caused her to lose such a good marriage, she couldn't help but want to strangle her to death like a beast.

Lin Bo clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind. "Okay, since it was Lin Mingyan who was ruthless first, then don't blame me, your uncle, for being disloyal."

"Give my father those things you hid before. I have some uses for them!"

Lin Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, then remembered something and her eyes lit up: "Ama, you mean..."
