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

In a villa outside Lincheng, Mr. Li, as everyone calls him, was standing leisurely under the eaves, looking up and teasing a colorful budgie.

He was about thirty years old, with sharp features and a tall stature. He was wearing a dark blue plain brocade round-necked robe, which was puffed out and made him look strong and majestic.

Three steps behind him, a black-clad servant stood with his head bowed respectfully.

"If you have something to say, just tell me!" Li Zhongxian said casually as he reached out to fiddle with the parrot's wings.

"Master, I returned yesterday from my cousin's house in Qingxi Village. I learned that Miss Jin'er, after failing to commit suicide, refused to comply and her personality changed drastically. Mrs. Sun is currently completely unable to deal with her. She only said that if Master insists, she will fully cooperate. I have come to ask Master for instructions. Should Miss Jin'er give up on this?"

This male servant in black is Li’s man Zhao Dayou.

Mr. Li was silent for a few breaths, then he chuckled and said, "When I saw her last time, she was still a soft, wooden beauty. I never thought that after being hanged, she has become so lively! In this case, there is no need for her to marry Ye'er. Even his killer can't control such a fiery person. I might as well take her in as my own. Maybe in two years, she can give birth to another boy for me!"

He originally wanted to marry her off to his silly son as a wife, but because he became interested in her, he kept her as a concubine in just a few words!

Even though Zhao Dayou knew that his master was a reckless person, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Thinking of how his wife had told him before leaving that no matter what decision the master made, he must remain calm and never show any shock in front of the master, so as not to make the master angry and suffer the consequences, Zhao Dayou once again became more convinced of his wife's accurate judgment.

Mr. Li can act in a shocking way, but the people around him must act normal.

Otherwise, at best he would scold you, and at worst he would beat you up and kick you out of the house.

With this previous experience as a lesson, and his wife's repeated warnings, Zhao Dayou quickly took a few deep breaths, trying to adjust his mind and calm himself down. Then he carefully asked again, "How should I respond to that Sun?"

Li Zhongxian thought for a moment and asked, "When will Miss Jin'er come of age?"

Zhao Dayou, thankful that his wife had mentioned it to him, immediately replied, "My wife said it would be around July or August next year."

"That means there's still more than half a year left!"

Li Zhongxian said this with a hint of meaning, then turned around and instructed, "Go back and tell your wife to tell her cousin, Sun, to keep a good eye on Miss Jin'er. Remember to ask about her well-being, take good care of her, and make sure she stays well. If there's any trouble, be sure to report it to me immediately."

"What if Miss Jin'er asks about marriage again..." Zhao Dayou asked hesitantly.

"Just have Sun tell her that I have agreed to cancel the marriage. She and my son will have nothing to do with each other from now on." Li Zhongxian curled his lips, "That will put her mind at ease!"

"I understand. I'm going home today and asking my wife to tell her cousin to keep an eye on this Miss Jin'er."

Li Zhongxian nodded and waved his sleeves: "Well, go down!"

After Zhao Dayou walked away, Li Zhongxian slowly said: "Half a year of preparation time should be enough!" After that, he put his hands behind his back, turned around and went into the house.

When Zhao Dayou got off duty and returned home that day, he told Li about the incident.

Early the next morning, Li went to Sun's house in Qingxi Village again. After the two sisters chatted behind closed doors for half an hour, they went to Jinchu's house together again.

This time, they came with lots of gifts, including food and daily necessities, as well as snacks and preserved fruits that children like, filling a big package.

It would be a waste to refuse something that is given for free. Sun has always been a person who does not do anything without benefits. The fact that he is willing to give something to Jin Chu shows that he has greater intentions towards him, so Jin Chu did not refuse it.

She had long given up on Sun. This woman was just a troublemaker.

His heart was obsessed with money, but he was not thoughtful enough and not ruthless enough, so he ended up losing more than he gained, and he did many things that ended up losing both the wife and the army.

Even so, she still does not repent, and the next time she encounters something that can take advantage of her, she will continue to rush forward without hesitation.

"Jin'er, your Aunt Li has been giving me a lot of lectures these past few days, and I know I've done a lot of wrongdoing. It was because I was blinded by greed that I wronged you two. From now on, whether your brother comes or not, I'll treat you like my own niece and won't mistreat you anymore!"

After that, she pointed at the pile of gifts and said, "You can use these first. When you are done with them, tell me and I will give you more."

"Thank you so much, Auntie! But I'm really surprised that you've suddenly shown such concern for me and my sister. As the saying goes, 'No merit, no reward.' I haven't done anything worthwhile, but I've received so many goodies from you. To be honest, I feel very uneasy."

Jin Chu won't give up until Sun tells him the truth.

Seeing Jinchu say this, Li smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Miss Jin'er, your Aunt Sun really knows her mistake and now she sincerely wants to mend her relationship with you. You are a kind and polite girl, so please forgive your Aunt Sun this time! I will also be watching over you from now on and promise not to let you two suffer any grievances or hardship again!"

Sun quickly agreed, "Yes! Jin girl, I'm truly sincere. To show my sincerity, I've canceled all plans for you to marry Mr. Li's family! From now on, your marriage is entirely up to you. You have the final say on who you marry, and I won't interfere in any way!"

Jin Chu's eyes lit up at these words, and he stared at her and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Really? It's more real than gold!" Sun nodded repeatedly to assure him.

"In that case, Jin'er would like to thank Aunt for her kindness." Jin Chu smiled obediently.

"We've pretty much talked about everything. Jin'er, we'll leave today. If you need anything else, come find your Aunt Sun again!"

After saying this, Li was about to leave with Sun in tow when she suddenly asked Jinchu with a smile, "I almost forgot, Jin'er, is your birthday in August?"

Jinchu smiled and corrected: "Aunt, I remembered it wrong. Jin'er was born in May."

"Oh, then I must have remembered it wrong. When you come of age next year, don't forget to inform me so that I can join in the fun and give you a coming-of-age gift."

"Thank you for the expense, Aunt Li. I'd like to thank you for the gift first!"

Jin Chu smiled and sent the two of them out the door.

"A coming-of-age ceremony?" Jin Chu snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not 'forced marriage'!"
