The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

Qin Wenlan smiled helplessly, "I know you feel isolated and helpless in the Marquis Qin's mansion, and you're afraid of causing me trouble.

In fact, you really don't have to worry. I am living a very comfortable life in the Qin Hou Mansion now. Otherwise, how could the Qin Hou Mansion trap me?

I know you are very capable and these things are not difficult for you at all, but you are just a human being, not a god, and you will get tired too.

If there's anything I can do to help, you should let me know. I can certainly lend a hand, but otherwise, I'd be remiss as your master!"

Tan Songyun looked at Qin Wenlan and said, "Master, you should save your energy to fight those sinister and cunning people, and let me take care of our business.

Before, we wanted to fight with the mother and daughter of the Yu family in the Qin Hou Mansion. Now, there is also Gu Yunzhou, and there are enemies in the dark. How can the master use his energy on our business!

If the master had not married into the royal family, perhaps life wouldn't have been so difficult!"

Qin Wenlan looked at the person in front of him, haha, he was really as persistent as in his previous life.

So he nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to you."

"Isn't that right?" Tan Songyun said with a smile, handing over a box, "Take a look."

Qin Wenlan took it suspiciously and asked lightly, "What is this?"

"Isn't it almost the end of the year? I prepared this for you." Tan Songyun reached out and opened it for her master. "Are you happy?"

Qin Wenlan saw a thick stack of banknotes inside. No wonder it felt so light in his hand just now. "What is this?"

"This is part of the money collected from those shops. I'm afraid that you won't be able to make ends meet during your first New Year at the Marquis Qin's Mansion, so..."

Qin Wenlan: ...

"Brother Tan, I do have some money on hand. Besides, didn't I just take a large sum of money from the Penglai Restaurant for the hot spring villa a while ago?

How could you give me all this money? Have you prepared the funds for the subsequent operation?"

"Master, you should worry less about these things. It's impossible for the funds to be fully prepared in advance.

Besides, you are now a member of the royal family, so why would you be dissatisfied with having too much money? You need to give rewards here and there, so how can you do without money? "

In the end, Qin Wenlan was unable to convince Tan Songyun and could only put away the banknotes.

Then the two of them started talking about things again. "The connection with the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been opened. Chen Lin doesn't want to offend Gu Yunzhou, and of course he doesn't dare to offend Prince An. It is precisely because of this that our talents can fish in troubled waters.

"I'm afraid Chen Lin will come look for you in a few days. Just agree to whatever he says. It will make things easier for us in the future," Qin Wenlan said.

Tan Songyun looked incredulous, "Is it possible that a man like him could use us for something?"

"If you don't believe it, how about just wait and see?

Anyway, when they really come, you just have to be brave and agree to it."

Tan Songyun looked at her master's confident face, her eyebrows twitching, "Then listen to the master."

"That's right. When did I ever boast?"

"That's not the case." Tan Songyun was very happy. Since her master said so, she must be very confident. She would just do whatever she asked.

***

On this day, after Tan Songyun had packed up, she thought that she couldn't just sit and wait for Chen Lin to come to her, so she took a carriage and went to the Imperial Household Department in person.

As soon as he saw Chen Lin, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Your humble servant greets you, sir."

"Oh, Brother Tan is here, come and sit over here, there's no need to be so polite between us." Chen Lin personally stood up and helped Tan Songyun.

Tan Songyun's heart trembled. Oh my god, it was obvious that things were not going to be simple. This was really a pitiful master. He just asked him to agree. This...

He could only make a few polite remarks, and after Chen Lin took his seat, he sat down with his body tilted to one side.

Chen Lin looked at Tan Songyun and said, "It got cold earlier this year than in previous years. It's so cold outside that people can hardly stand it!"

"Well, who says it isn't? Winter hasn't been this cold in previous years." Tan Songyun echoed, "However, no matter what happens outside, with the adults here, it can't have any impact on the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Chen Lin looked at Tan Songyun and said, "Early this morning, the chief steward of the imperial kitchen came over and chatted with me for a while.

It is said that due to the terrible weather this year, all kinds of dishes in the imperial farm in the capital have suffered considerable losses.

With Prince Yun's wedding approaching, fruits and vegetables are extremely important. If..."

When Tan Songyun heard these words, she immediately understood that the group of rats in the imperial kitchen were used to being domineering and arrogant, and they were very adept at deceiving their superiors and subordinates.

Now that the weather has suddenly changed, it has caused immeasurable losses.

If he could get away with it normally, who would have thought that Gu Yunzhou would have a wedding this year!

There was no way the imperial kitchen could plug such a hole. Seeing that there was no way to plug the hole, they naturally set their sights on the various dishes at Qin Wenlan's hot spring villa.

However, this group of giant rats did not dare to offend King An openly, and of course they could not force Qin Wenlan to hand over all the dishes in the hot spring villa.

So he went to the Imperial Household Department in a roundabout way, thinking that some of Qin Wenlan's business had to continue with the Imperial Household Department, so he could do whatever he wanted with it.

Tan Songyun thought of her master's words. Even though she was very unhappy, she could only suppress it. Her master must have known about these things for a long time.

That's why he was asked to do Chen Lin a favor. After all, Chen Lin's favor is not so easy to owe, so he had a peace of mind.

"The Imperial Kitchen has spoken to you, sir. I naturally cannot stand by and watch you get into trouble. Don't worry about this matter, sir. I will do my best." Tan Songyun said seriously.

Chen Lin knew that Tan Songyun would not refuse him, but he did not expect her to agree so readily. He was very satisfied, but finally said, "Why don't you go back and discuss it with Miss Qin?"

"Our master knows that you are worthy of help, so he won't be unhappy because I am interfering in other people's affairs. If the master knew about this, he would think that I did the right thing!

But, to be honest, sir, the manor is not managed by our master, but by Zheng Bin, and our master is only helping to sell it."

Chen Lin could not fail to hear the deep meaning behind this, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin is a sensible person. She is willing to give those dishes to the imperial kitchen for emergency use.

Let Zheng Bin handle all matters, so we can avoid bothering two people with one thing."

Tan Songyun laughed and said, "Is this okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but I can't guarantee how far he can go in the future."

Chen Lindao said that he was just providing an opportunity, and the next step would depend on Zheng Bin’s own abilities.
