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

Except for Mrs. Wu, no one else in the mansion knew that the New Year gift was arranged by Lin Mingyan.

After all, Fu Jin just wanted to make things difficult for her, not to give her power or establish her authority, so how could it be possible for the news to spread throughout the city?

Only Wu got some information from Zhenzhu, and she kept secretly cursing Fu Jin for being stupid.

Once such a good job is given away, it will be difficult to get it back.

I didn't expect her to be so shameless as to say it in public.

Everyone was stunned. Fu Jin took a sip of tea calmly, waiting for Lin Mingyan to resign on her own initiative so that she could take back the job with ease.

But Lin Mingyan doesn't think she is such a despicable person. She will use it when it is useful and throw it away when it is useless.

She had learned this in her previous life at the company: if you are thick-skinned, you can get whatever you want, but if you are thin-skinned, you can't get anything.

This right is in her hands, and it will never be returned unless she lies there dead!

Lin Mingyan smiled and bowed: "Fujin, you are joking. This task was given to me by the master."

"I heard that even the Empress praised me and encouraged me to do better. I will definitely continue to work hard this year."

She smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip, without saying anything else.

But the meaning is very clear: this job was done so well that even Concubine De praised it, and you can't snatch it away from you.

Fu Jin choked and turned to look at the Fourth Master: "Master, look..."

These are the rights and obligations of the legitimate wife. Even if the Fourth Master is partial to her, he cannot be too partial.

Besides, Lin Mingyan changed the wine secretly, and Grandpa doesn’t want her to expose it in public and embarrass herself, right?

The Fourth Master frowned and looked at Fu Jin.

He really doesn't understand. You want it one moment and then you don't want it the next. Are you kidding?

If there weren't so many people around, he would have asked Dr. Hua to come and see if her brain was damaged by the hibiscus cream!

"Fujin's health hasn't recovered yet. Since Nianhulu has accepted this task, let her do it," the Fourth Master said, and couldn't help but praise her: "After all, Nianhulu has done a good job."

Good job?

Changing the wine secretly, and doing a good job?!

Is the Fourth Master completely abandoning his dignity for the sake of a concubine?!

Fu Jin was already trying to stir up trouble, but now her temper was uncontrollable and she exploded: "Well done?"

She motioned for Madam Wu to take the account book and said, "How much money did you, Niuhulu, embezzle from the public treasury? Tell me yourself!"

They didn't just sit there stupidly these days, but checked the account books for this year's gifts.

The other gifts are pretty reliable, and even if there are some changes, they are not big.

However, the expenditure on beverages was 30% more than in previous years, totaling 25,000 taels.

However, for the wine and beverages purchased, it only simply recorded how many bottles of wine and beverages were purchased by a certain farm.

Fu Jin had seen it, it was an unknown manor, and they didn't even dare to write the name of the wine.

And it is in a bottle, and the quantity is much smaller than that in a jar.

Even so, it still cost 25,000 taels!

According to her previous experience of purchasing liquor from Jixianglou, the profit from liquor was half and half, so she could make 10,000 taels out of 20,000 taels.

But this Niuhulu is really evil-hearted. She can earn at least 24,000 taels out of 25,000 taels!

People from small families are so short-sighted!

At first, Li took on the purchasing work of the big kitchen for a while, but in the end, she was greedy for money and was fired, right?

But that time she gave Li some face and only revealed it in front of the Fourth Master.

Now the Niuhulu clan is about to lose face.

Lin Mingyan didn't even glance at her, shaking her head and saying, "I don't understand what Fu Jin is talking about."

How could you not understand?

She was afraid that Fu Jin would try to reclaim the rights, so when she was writing the account book, she deliberately did not write about the purchase of Shenxianzui.

Sure enough, he just jumped into the pit foolishly.

Rolling her eyes at her: Idiot!

Fu Jin didn't expect that she relied on the Fourth Master's favor to act so blatantly and act stupid.

He slammed the table and said, "Niuhulu, you didn't follow the old rules and bought the best wine and liquor. Instead, you passed off inferior goods as good ones and even spent more money on the wine and liquor."

"Now I ask you, do you admit your guilt?"

Lin Mingyan tilted her head: "Fujin, you think I'm selling inferior goods as good ones, but has anyone complained to you?"

Did she really just look at the account books and not go out to inquire?

She even deliberately placed magic eggs outside and gave ordinary drinks to people she had a good relationship with.

Otherwise, if all of them were given to the God of Drunk, the twenty-five thousand taels would be too much to bear.

Fu Jin snorted coldly, "New Year gifts are given to elders or people we are close to. Even if they are unhappy, they won't come to us in such a rude manner."

"I think you guessed this, so you dare to so blatantly pass off inferior goods as good ones!"

Lin Mingyan smiled, pressed her handkerchief to her lips, and said slowly, "So there's no evidence?"

Don't you want to verify it?

Why don't you ask someone you know?

"Niuhulu!" Fu Jin saw her pushing things around, and the strings in her head snapped. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're favored by the Fourth Master!"

"Fourth Master, this is a matter in the backyard. As long as I am still the wife, it should be under my jurisdiction!"

In his heart, the Fourth Master was already like an old man on the subway looking at his phone, but he still had an indifferent expression on his face.

He discovered that Fujin had her own magic.

It's a kind of...magic that makes people want to see how stupid she can be.

"Fujin, be careful with your words," the Fourth Master said, blatantly showing partiality. "The fact that Concubine Fu is in charge of some affairs is also to relieve you of your worries."

"This has been the rule since ancient times. Let her take care of it."

fart!

Why has it been like this since ancient times?

There are many people who don’t have concubines. Prince Zhi is powerful enough, but he still only has one main wife, right?

The first wife's health is worse than hers, why not marry a concubine for her own good?

Fu Jin gritted her teeth and didn't say what was in her heart.

He just said coldly: "My Lord is too partial. We can discuss other matters later. Niuhulu enriched herself, so it is not appropriate for her to be the one to deliver the gifts."

Lin Mingyan was so angry that she laughed: "Fujin, I respect you as my sister, that's why I didn't say anything more."

"It's just that you don't have any evidence, and you just lie and accuse me of something you didn't commit. I absolutely deny it."

Fu Jin sneered, "I was planning to give you some face, but it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Madam Wu, please show everyone the account book. Let the sisters in the backyard see what Concubine Fujin has done!"

Lin Mingyan felt nothing in her heart and even felt like laughing. She had someone write the account book herself, so it was crystal clear.

Nanny Wu came in from outside and deliberately showed it to the princesses first. Wu and the others were really curious and had no choice but to look at it carefully because they didn't want to disobey the concubine.

Wu didn't expect that there was something fishy going on, and she felt a little contemptuous.

I thought Niuhuru was very powerful, but it seems she is just a short-sighted person.

After all, she was a woman who grew up in a small rural family. When it came to making money, she really didn't care about her dignity at all.

Zhang and Liu just glanced at it. They didn't dare to get involved in the matter anymore. They both stepped back quietly for fear of getting involved in any trouble.

The two of them moved in unison and looked at each other. They saw the same ideas in each other's eyes and smiled at each other.

Geng seemed a little anxious. She had been raised as the mistress since she was a child. It seemed that the concubine was really to blame.

She thought of an idea and quickly explained, "The concubine didn't understand the situation and was deceived by the merchant?"
