Princess Promotion

The stars are twinkling, and the night wind is slightly chilly.

Lin Wan has been busy with Zhang Huaijin's case in the past few days and has not returned home for several days. Today it has finally come to an end and she can go back home to have a good rest.

Lin Wan stepped into the inner room, and her eyes were involuntarily attracted by a figure by the windowsill.

Wang Wenli was wearing a thin nightgown at the moment, leaning against the window, immersed in a book in his hands.

The texture of his pajamas was soft, swaying gently in the night breeze, outlining his slender figure.

The moonlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on Wang Wenli's profile, giving him a soft glow and making him look like the cool and unworldly handsome man in the painting.

His hair fluttered gently in the breeze, with a few strands sticking to his forehead, adding a touch of lazy charm.

Lin Wan stood at the door with her arms folded across her chest, quietly admiring the picture of the handsome man under the moon.

I couldn't help but admire in my heart that Bai Yehan was right. Just with this stimulation, this idiot actually came to his senses and learned how to seduce?

Lin Wan was thinking, why not let Bai Yehan come and be her concubine for a few days? Maybe there would be an unexpected surprise.

Wang Wenli heard a noise at the door, turned around and saw that it was Lin Wan. He said calmly, "You're back."

I don’t know if this was a psychological effect, but President Lin Wan probably heard some resentful emotions from her.

Wang Wenli was indeed angry for a long time after he came back after being driven away. He originally wanted to wait for Lin Wan to come back and have a good talk with her.

But when he saw the dark circles under Lin Wan's eyes and the fatigue that could not be concealed, he suddenly softened his heart.

In recent days, Huayang City has been in turmoil in order to capture Zhang Huaijin's followers, and it seems that Lin Wan is very busy.

Wang Wenli looked away and said stiffly, "It's late, let's get some rest."

Lin Wan felt a little regretful. He was indeed a little tired. He wanted to do something but he lacked the strength to do it.

Wang Wenli waited for Lin Wan to finish washing up, then quietly extinguished the last light, and then the two of them lay down on the bed together.

The night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent. Only the moonlight shines through the half-closed curtains, casting a soft silver light, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet night.

Not long after, Lin Wan fell into a deep sleep after a tiring day.

Wang Wenli turned sideways to face him, and in the faint light of the moon, he quietly stared at Lin Wan's sleeping face.

Wang Wenli has been a well-behaved person since childhood. The most ridiculous thing he has done in the past 20 years is to have an affair with Lin Wan at a banquet.

Wang Wenli doesn't have any requirements for his future. As long as his virtuous parents are satisfied, that's enough. After all, his father and mother also went through the same thing.

So when his family planned to let him marry his cousin, Wang Wenli did not object. He had to get married sooner or later, and it would be nice to marry someone his parents liked.

But an accident happened. He drank a glass of wine that day and somehow lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was caught in bed with Lin Wan.

At that time, Wang Wenli really thought that something had happened between him and Lin Wan. After all, he had ruined the woman's innocence. After returning home, he automatically admitted his mistake and blamed all the faults on himself marrying Lin Wan.

Wang Wenli has been obsessed with studying mechanical engineering since he was young, and he doesn't care about love affairs between men and women. He thinks that sleeping in the same bed means having sex.

Lord Wang originally wanted to explain this matter to Wang Wenli before the marriage, but Lord Wang thought that Wang Wenli had already had an affair with Lin Wan before the marriage, so it was normal for him to learn it on his own.

This is how a huge mistake happened in the hall.

Thinking of this, Wang Wenli couldn't help but blush again and hid under the quilt.

After Lin Wan got married, she was perfect both as a daughter-in-law and as a wife, so perfect that Wang Wenli felt it was unreal.

When he was tired of studying, Lin Wan would quietly make him a pot of hot tea; when he was working at his desk late at night, she would add clothes for him to keep him warm.

It's hard not to fall for someone who treats you so gently and considerately.

Wang Wenli gently raised his hand, wanting to touch Lin Wan's face, but stopped in mid-air, fearing that he would disturb her sweet dream.

In the end, he just gently put his hand down, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and gradually fell into sleep.

The next day, at dawn, the sun lazily climbed through the window lattice and sprinkled on Lin Wan's bed.

Lin Wan didn't wake up until noon, and stretched lazily with some sleepiness still lingering.

Just as Lin Wan was about to get up, the maid Xiao Cui gently pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Xiao Cui walked to the window and gently pushed open the wooden window. Fresh air and warm sunshine poured into the room.

Xiao Cui turned around, holding the toiletries in her hands, and whispered softly, "Madam, you are awake."

Lin Wan nodded and began to get dressed and wash up. Xiao Cui then spoke again, "Madam, my cousin came to see you today. She said she had something to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan said, "Prepare lunch and have Miss Cousin come over! We haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's a good time to catch up."

Xiao Cui responded and turned away.

At the same time, Lord Wang also received news that his wife's niece Lin'er had come to the mansion again.

As soon as Lord Wang received the news, he hurriedly asked his followers to bring his cousin to him, so that she would not wander around and run into Li Wen again, and then be caught by Lin Wan.

Liwen had just been released, and Lord Wang didn't want his son to be put in solitary confinement by his daughter-in-law again.

As Lord Wang was anxiously waiting, the attendant hurried in and said, "Master, something bad has happened. My cousin has entered the young master's yard."

Lord Wang took a breath, as if he saw Lin'er and Liwen hugging each other and expressing their feelings, looking at each other with tears in their eyes, and Lin Wan rushed out from the side and separated this pair of star-crossed lovers.

What a sin! Lord Wang slapped his thigh. Li Wen had just returned home a few days ago, and Lin Er couldn't wait to come and see him. It was obvious that she was deeply in love with him.

If he had seen them like this in the past, Lord Wang would have been soft-hearted and let the two children be happy, and let Lin'er come in as his concubine.

But this matter was bound to involve Lin Wan. When Lord Wang thought of the corpses hanging on the city wall in the past few days, he couldn't help but shudder.

Liwen is the only child in the Wang family. If anything happens to him, he won't want to live anymore.

Lord Wang hurried to Wang Wenli's yard.

Son, dad is here!

At the same time, at the other end of the mansion, Lin'er lifted the hem of her skirt embroidered with gold thread, gracefully stepped over the threshold, and walked into the hall where Lin Wan was.

The long black hair was carefully tied into a snake-like bun, and a few strands of soft hair hung lightly by the ears, adding a bit of cuteness and agility.

Entering the main hall, she saw Lin Wan having a meal. A glint of joy flashed in Lin'er's eyes. She walked quickly forward, performed a standard etiquette, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "How are you, cousin?"

Lin Wan put down the chopsticks in her hand and said with a smile: "Come on, let's eat together?"

Lin Er looked around and declined politely, "No, cousin, I've already eaten. Where's cousin?"

Lin Wan picked up the box that had been placed beside her since early morning and said, "In the study. Do you need him for something?"

Lin'er excitedly took the box and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Why would I look for him? I'm just afraid that if he finds out, he'll nag me for a long time."

Lin Wan smiled faintly, shook her head, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

Lin'er carefully opened the box and saw that it was filled with gold ingots. She was instantly overjoyed.

He picked up a gold ingot, put it in his mouth and took a bite, counting it happily while smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Lin'er felt that she must have burned incense in her previous life to be able to meet Lin Wan in this life.

Lin'er's father was a minor official. After marrying my mother, he took concubines one after another.

Her mother devoted herself to her father, but the expenses of the family were naturally high because he had so many concubines. Her mother did not favor her, so although they did not live in poverty, they lived a tight life.

There was one thing Lin'er had to admit, her father was quite sentimental in a sense. He liked the type of people who moaned without reason, or the type who were cold and pitiful.

So all the concubines in the yard were dressed like in mourning clothes. They didn't like pearl hairpins and fancy clothes. They liked poetry, calligraphy and paintings, and recited ancient poems every day.

Lin'er likes bright red, golden hairpins and silk skirts, but her mother, in order to please her father, makes her go out with plain makeup and wear mourning clothes every day.

At that time, Lin'er wanted to find a rich family. She was fed up with the hypocrisy of people who loved money but pretended to be disdainful.

After choosing and choosing, I found that my aunt was the best candidate for marriage. The Wang family was also a famous and prestigious family. More importantly, the backyard was clean, my uncle and my aunt lived in harmony, and there was not even a concubine in the backyard.

In sharp contrast to her parents, her cousin Wang Wenli looks a bit old-fashioned, but this small flaw does not prevent her from wanting to marry into the Wang family.

Over the years, Lin'er has been serving her aunt in various ways. Whenever her aunt has a headache or fever, she cares about her health more than her aunt herself.

Finally, after years of hard work, her aunt was moved by her and even hinted to her cousin to marry her.

After years of hard work, when she was about to succeed, Lin Wan came to her.

Until now, Lin'er still clearly remembers that one afternoon, when she passed by the Treasure Pavilion, she looked at her favorite gold hairpin again and again, thinking that she would buy it as soon as she became Mrs. Wang.

At this time, Lin Wan also walked into the store and went straight to the gold hairpin without asking the price, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up.

Lin'er was stunned watching from the side. He bought the gold hairpin worth more than one hundred taels of silver without blinking an eye?

What shocked Lin'er even more was that Lin Wan walked up to her with the box containing the golden hairpin, handed it to her, and said, "This is a meeting gift for you. Can I buy you a cup of tea?"

At that moment, Lin'er only hated why Lin Wan was not a man.

"Are you really giving this to me for free, just to treat me... to tea?" Lin'er held the golden hairpin and couldn't believe that she got it like this.

Lin Wan didn't answer Lin'er's question but instead asked, "Does the Wang family want you to be their daughter-in-law?"

Although she hadn't made up her mind yet and admitting it now would damage her reputation, Lin'er nodded for the sake of the golden hairpin, because her aunt had indeed started preparing the betrothal gifts and was ready to go to her house to propose marriage.

Lin Wan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm attracted to Wang Wenli, and I plan to steal your fiancé."

"Ding Dong" the sound of a golden hairpin falling to the ground was heard.

At this time, Lin'er looked at Lin Wan as if she was mentally retarded. No matter how greedy she was, she would still do the math.

Can the Wang family be measured by one hundred taels?

It turned out that this woman was waiting for her here, and she generously took out a hundred taels to buy the gold hairpin she had longed for.

Then, after seeing her expression of being moved, he said with a superior face that she was greedy for money and was not worthy of her cousin, and that only a noble woman like her was worthy of him.

The more Lin'er thought about it, the more frightened she became. This woman wouldn't let her cousin hide in the dark to see her like this, and then take the opportunity to slander her.

I felt a little annoyed, as I was really blinded by the golden hairpin for a moment.

Lin Wan seemed not to notice Lin'er's murderous expression, and remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

Lin Wan bent down to pick up the golden hairpin, gently placed it on the table and said, "I was indeed wrong in this matter. I am willing to compensate you with silver."

Lin'er sneered in her heart. This woman thought she was losing her mind just for a gold hairpin. She must have never seen the world. So she just gave her a few hundred taels.

Lin Wan stretched out a finger and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver."

Lin'er's breathing stagnated and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Lin'er tried hard to regulate her breathing, and said to herself with a trembling heart: Calm down, it's just ten thousand taels... ten thousand taels of silver. Think about how many years you have worked hard for the Wang family.

The Wang family is a rare good family. This concerns your next life, so you can't be careless.

Lin'er's breathing slowly calmed down. That's right. How could the rest of her life be worth only ten thousand taels of silver?

At this time, Lin Wan slowly extended his second finger and said, "Twenty thousand taels of silver."

Lin'er's pupils suddenly shrank and her heart was beating wildly.

It doesn't seem so unacceptable that she could marry into a family with poor financial conditions while having 20,000 taels of silver.

Lin'er told herself to stay calm. What if this woman was just playing a trick on her?

This is a matter concerning your next life. Be very careful! Be very careful! Be very careful again.

Lin Wan took out three silver bills from his sleeve. Lin'er looked at them carefully. They were silver bills worth ten thousand taels, something she had never seen in her life.

Lin'er's mind went blank for a moment, and then she heard Lin Wan say calmly, "Thirty thousand taels of silver. This is the final price. If it doesn't work, I'll find another dealer."

Lin'er exploded. What did my cousin-in-law say? Did she want to go back on her word?

Wouldn't her cousin have to live out his life alone? How could that be possible?
