After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

An angry Sun dragged the equally furious Li along, cursing as they walked away, "This arrogant and domineering little girl is increasingly disrespecting her elders. Sooner or later, I'll have to deal with her!"

"This girl is really pretty, but she has a really fierce temper. You can tell at a glance that she's someone who can't tolerate any injustice!"

Thinking of Jinchu's fiery temper, Li's eyes sparkled. "But you know what, those nobles have different preferences. Some just like this kind of fiery temperament. It's exciting to play with them."

Sun was stunned and looked at Li in surprise, "Cousin, didn't you say you were just here to help Mr. Li's family and check on this girl? Why are you suddenly talking about noble people?"

Li knew she had spoken out of turn and hurriedly tried to make amends with a smile, "Cousin, you misunderstood. I was simply saying that this girl's personality would please a noble man. Isn't Mr. Li also a noble man in our eyes? Since this girl has caught his eye, it's only natural that she will end up in his family."

"Cousin, didn't I tell you yesterday? I was only thinking about the Li family's immense wealth. If Jin and her brother marry into the Li family, their lives will be much better. I won't have to worry about being a burden, and I can also earn some money to save for your nephew in the future."

Sun smiled bitterly. "But you saw it just now. This girl, who was as soft as a willow branch, actually dared to commit suicide to resist the marriage. Although she survived the disaster, her personality is completely different from before! This time, I just tried to test her with words, and she kicked you and me out without any hesitation. If..."

Sun paused and murmured, "If I dare to continue to insist on marrying her to the Li family, this girl will definitely fight me to the death!"

Thinking of Jinchu's sharp tongue and brute force, Sun couldn't help but shudder. "If we really fight, I won't be able to beat her. If she gets ruthless and really wants my life, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? Even more money would be of no use!"

"Cousin, you and your brother-in-law are both working for the Li family now, and you are also people who can speak to the master. I really don't dare to mess with Jin'er anymore! Back then, I was blinded by greed and accepted the deposit from the Li family. Now I will return the deposit in full without missing a cent. I just hope that this matter ends here. The Li family will find another good girl who is more suitable. As for this troublemaker Jin, let her go!"

Sun grabbed her cousin and looked at Li with pleading eyes. "Cousin, can you please talk to the master for me and tell him that my sister was ignorant and naive before. Can you please apologize for me and help me turn this around?"

Mrs. Li was unhappy in her heart, but she smiled kindly on the surface: "Oh! My dear sister! You are really going to make things difficult for me this time. Although your brother-in-law and I both work in the Li Mansion, you know that we only look glamorous on the outside. Aren't we still serving the masters and mistresses? If the masters are happy, I might take the opportunity to say a few words, but if the masters are in a bad mood, then it will be difficult!"

Her last words were drawn out, piercing Sun's chest. "What can I do? I'm your biological cousin. Can you just watch me fall into this situation and do nothing?"

Sun staggered, her face filled with panic.

This Mr. Li's original name was Li Zhongxian. His ancestors started out as merchants. After accumulating initial capital, they began to focus on the education of their descendants.

Ever since Li Zhongxian's grandfather passed the imperial examination, his family has prided itself on being a scholarly family. In Li Zhongxian's generation, his elder brother Li Boqian was smart and good at scheming. By chance, he won the favor of a noble in the capital and married the daughter of a wealthy family. In just over a decade, he had already become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The wealthy family, which was already rich in gold and jade, was further enriched by the emergence of a minister, and for a time it became a prominent figure in Lincheng.

Because his brother was a minister and his family was wealthy, Li Zhongxian was nicknamed "Yuanwailang" by outsiders. Over time, his real name became Li Yuanwai.

Sun, a country woman who rarely even sees a county magistrate, actually offended such a person. How could she not be terrified!

Seeing that Sun was frightened out of her wits, Li spoke slowly, "Sister, what are you talking about? We have a deep bond as sisters. How can I, as your elder sister, just watch you suffer and do nothing? But I have my own difficulties. The Li family has such a large mansion, and there are many people working up and down the stairs. The servants are divided into different levels. If we want to get things done, we need money to bribe the important places. Otherwise, who would be willing to help us?"

After saying that, she looked at Sun with an embarrassed expression.

It turns out that money is needed to do it!

Sun understood instantly, and her face no longer turned pale and her heart was no longer panicked.

"Cousin, although we are sisters, we both need to eat, wear clothes and make a living. Money and property should not be mixed together. This time, you are willing to help me to intercede with the master, which is already the most sisterly love. How can I ask you to do more work and money? Don't worry, I will pay all the money you need. After the matter is completed, I will thank you again."

Sun sighed secretly, feeling both sad and relieved.

Some time ago, she accepted a deposit of fifty taels of silver from Mr. Li's family. Now, in addition to returning the silver intact, she was afraid that she would have to pay another three or five taels to get the deal done.

Fortunately, Grandpa Fudan and Dad Fudan didn’t know about this, otherwise the man in the family would have beaten him up.

She would never do such thankless tasks again. The Jin'er siblings were her karmic debts, and they were here to bring bad luck to her.

Seeing that her cousin was determined to break off the engagement even if she had to pay the money, Mrs. Li cursed inwardly, "You are such a hopeless person!"

Before she came this time, she knew that Jin'er had committed suicide by hanging herself. After she came, she also heard from her cousin that the girl's personality had changed drastically.

At that time, she didn't take it seriously. How could an orphan girl from the countryside make her master bring her into the mansion under the pretext of becoming the eldest son's wife?

Now that she had seen her, she knew that the master's eyes were indeed sharp. She had lived for forty years and had never seen a girl prettier than this one.

This girl is not even fifteen years old now, but she is already so eye-catching. I wonder how beautiful she will be in another two years!

My cousin was afraid of the girl's bravery and wanted to retreat. She didn't dare to take the silver she had received. She would rather pay out of her own pocket and ask her to mediate and cancel the marriage.

Her thoughts were completely different.

Because she knew that Miss Jin had a strong temper and was the favorite of the master in the mansion. Moreover, she was the one the master specifically wanted. Now that she had caught the master's eye, it would be extremely difficult to break away from her.

My cousin might as well take advantage of the situation and push this girl out. This way, we can get more money and satisfy the master. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

As for this Miss Jin'er, no matter how fierce her temper is, as long as she enters the Li Mansion, she will be in the hands of the master. No matter how fierce her temper is, she can't stand the manipulation of a man. After a long time, isn't she still serving the men in the mansion gently and kindly?

The two sisters appear to be smiling and talking happily on the surface, but they each have their own hidden agenda.
