Lin Xiuwen was very surprised and even a little embarrassed.

Ye Nanyue was not like this in the past.

Even if I gave her a wooden hairpin, Ye Nanyue would be ecstatic and extremely happy.

He had spent a lot of money today to give her a gold hairpin, and she was so straightforward?

Ye Nanyue took the golden hairpin and looked at it, feeling amused.

This Lin Xiuwen is really funny.

I'm reluctant to give it up, but I'm also reluctant to invest in it.

In the past, when the original owner gave Lin Xiuwen something as a gift, he always bought the best ones.

In order to give Lin Xiuwen a decent gift of Wenfang Sifanghe, she not only emptied out the money given by Lu Huaiyang, but also her parents' home.

It's really disgusting that a man, who is also the son of the Lin family, can be so stingy.

Ye Nanyue glared at Lin Xiuwen seriously, "How can gold be considered vulgar? Master Lin, don't you spend gold on studying, food, clothing, housing and transportation? Besides, I am a vulgar person, and I like these vulgar things."

As she spoke, Ye Nanyue calmly stuffed the gold hairpin into her arms: "I'll take it. Even though it's a little small, it's better than nothing. You can keep it as a token of your appreciation. I don't want it."

Although this gold hairpin is a little small, Ye Nanyue thought that it should be suitable to give it to the original owner's mother.

Lin Xiuwen: "?"

"Nan Yan, you...why are you talking like that now?"

Ye Nanyan blinked and looked at Lin Xiuwen innocently: "How am I talking? Is there any problem?"

Lin Xiuwen: "... Nanyan, you are still blaming me, right?"

Ye Nanyan: "If I say I still blame you, what will you do?"

Lin Xiuwen sighed helplessly: "Nan Yan, I have no choice. Let's not talk about the past. When I find the opportunity in the future, I will definitely take you away."

"Or... you can find a way to get Lu Huaiyang to divorce you, so that we can be together legitimately and you don't have to think about running away."

"If I get good grades in the Spring Examination, I can go back to Kyoto and ask my stepmother to take you in as my concubine. It shouldn't be a problem."

Ye Nanyue looked at him, her face full of surprise: "You mean... let Lu Huaiyang divorce me, and then I will follow you without a matchmaker, and then wait until you pass the imperial examination, and then see if you can take me as a concubine?"

Lin Xiuwen had deceived Ye Nanyue in the same way before, but the original owner was very happy every time she heard it, and she felt that Lin Xiuwen was considering her and planning for their future.

But why do these words sound so funny now?

Lin Xiuwen's face turned grim upon hearing her precise analysis. "Nan Yan, how can you say that? If we elope, our future will be very difficult."

"If I'm disqualified from watching the scientific examination, our future will be even more difficult!"

"This is the best way. If I win the imperial examination, you... you can even become my concubine. So, you're willing to help me, right?"

"For our future, are you willing?"

Lin Xiuwen looked at Ye Nanyue with anticipation.

I wanted to take two steps forward and hold Ye Nanyue's hand, but when I saw Ye Nanyue's cold eyes, I stretched out my hand and then retracted it.

Ye Nanyue found Lin Xiuwen's pretended affectionate look even more ridiculous.

You're waiting here, right?

good good!

Ye Nanyue glanced at Deng Zhuo who was waiting impatiently over there, then looked at the book in Deng Zhuo's hand and looked at Lin Xiuwen with a half-smile: "How do you want me to help you?"

Seeing her curiously looking at him, Lin Xiuwen thought she had been fooled. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but say to Ye Nanyue, "Those books in Deng Zhuo's hands are all new. Take those books to your third brother. When you come back, bring back your third brother's old books and manuscripts..."

"Just do it the same as usual. Didn't you say your family doesn't have much money to buy books for your third brother?"

Ye Nanyan was almost laughing out of anger.

The original owner's resentful third brother really had no money to buy books. Not only did he have no money to buy books, he didn't even have the money to pay for tuition or hire a teacher.

Even so, the third brother has been working hard.

In the original book, Ye Nanyue's third brother is a rare genius.

Lin Xiuwen wanted the old books and manuscripts of the original owner's third brother just to get his handwritten notes and articles.

This scumbag relied on the heroine's third brother and various connections after returning to Beijing to become a disciple of a famous teacher, get the exam questions, and be recommended. He won the top three places in the exam and became an important official beside Lu Huaiyang.

Now, getting the old books and manuscripts of Ye Nanyan's third brother is the first step of Lin Xiuwen's plan.

Otherwise, with Lin Xiuwen's family background, how could he be interested in a married woman like Ye Nanyue.

In Lin Xiuwen's eyes, Ye Nanyue was just an illiterate, ignorant, and unfaithful village woman.

It's a pity that the original owner was a love-brained person and was deceived by a scumbag.

The only thing Ye Nanyue couldn't understand was that with Lu Huaiyang's personality, why did he still use Lin Xiuwen in the book even though he knew that he was the original owner's lover?

She didn't read the book carefully, so now it is very confusing to her.

She had to discover many things on her own.

"You want my third brother's manuscripts and old books. Don't you want to give him new books? Otherwise, why would you exchange them?" Ye Nanyue always likes to play the game straight. She looked at Lin Xiuwen and asked without any hesitation.

Lin Xiuwen was stunned, his face stiffening. "Nan Yan, I'm doing this for your own good. Once I pass the imperial examination, I'll have more say in the Lin family and be able to keep you by my side."

"When the time comes, I will support your third brother so that he can take the imperial examination well."

"Haven't we always been like this before? You don't understand these things...just do as I say."

Ye Nanyue was almost laughing with anger. She looked at the pile of books in Deng Zhuo's hands and said, "Okay, then give me those new books and I'll take them to my third brother."

No matter how many books you give to Third Brother, he will never think it is too much.

As for taking the old books and manuscripts, she is not the original owner. Lin Xiuwen can wait patiently. If she can't wait any longer, she will lose.

"Really?" Lin Xiuwen's face lit up with joy and he waved to Deng Zhuo.

Deng Zhuo was very familiar with the process and hurriedly moved the books onto the ox cart.

"Nan Yan, then hurry back and come back early. I'll be waiting for you on the road in the evening."

Lin Xiuwen said, "Give me those old books and manuscripts when the time comes."

Ye Nanyue didn't answer him. She would just take another route when the time comes.

She looked at Lin Xiuwen, and suddenly remembered something. She asked seriously, "There's something I'm curious about."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the matter was settled, Lin Xiuwen's tone was a little perfunctory.

"Mr. Lin, are you really attracted to me?" Ye Nanyue asked.

When Lin Xiuwen heard her ask this, he was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course."

Ye Nanyan was curious: "Then why do you like me?"

"You should have many women from noble families around you, with good looks and good character, and you don't plan to marry me."

"Whether you pass the imperial examination or elope with me, I can never be your legal wife."

"Is it because of my third brother?"
